App'roval of Preliminary Plat and <br />Rezoning from R-1 to R-2 <br />I This property, as many of you are probably well aware, was occupied for <br />years by-Ahe Markam Family who used the property as a residence and the <br />conduct of a business involving the storage of trucks' on the property <br />for many years, Many years ago, an attempt was made to remove that use <br />through court action which proved unsuccessful. <br />4.

A substantial part of this market is absorbed 1:�y so-called "empty nesters", <br />parents whose children have grown and they are looking for alter'native <br />housing better suited to their needs. Now that single family homeowners <br />can sell their homes with a tax exemption on the first $100,000, many <br />more flempty nesters" are in a position to purchase units better suited <br />to their needs. <br />74 The preliminary plat as proposed i's set up for a rental condition as <br />much as each unit in the duplex would not occupy a single lot. We'have <br />P <br />suggested to the Michels Brothers that 1H the lots were split, thus <br />allowing 100 percent homeownership, this may make some difference to <br />
