-5- Mr. Kuhl felt that if the property were developed that the neighborhood wanted all single family hones. He stated that the multi unit buildings would decrease the value of the existing hones. He indicated that the duplexes constructed by Mr. Cave near Rice Street were not well done and had the appearance of barracks. Mr. Kuhl indicated that it was the consensus of the neighbors that if the whole area was built as single family they would favor inproving all the streets in the neighborhood. Mr. John Weiss stated that he did not believe there was any justification for zoning any of the property for anything other than single family. He favored Wheeler Street going through to Oakcrest. He expressed his opposition against the R-2 zoning because he didn't feel the area needed 18 additional families when there should be only 9. He also comrented that he was opposed to the R-4 zoning on Fairview Avenue. Mr. Mastel asked if it was true that the neighborhood had rejected cormercial developrrent for their area. Mr. <7eorge Kuhl responded that the decision had not been made but there had been no one cone f01:Ward to make a specific offer for use of their property as corrrcercial.

Johnson seconded, that the Conrnission recomre~1d approval of Sam Cave's request for rezoning from R-l to R-4, special use permit for planned unit development, and preliminary plat with the condition that Blocks 2 and 3 of the plat shall be redesigned. Further, that the Corrmission recorrrcend denial of Sam Cave I s request for rezoning from R-l to R- 2. Mr. Mastel asked what was being acconplished by rezoning to R-4.
