A map of the area in question was presented for the Council's review. The Mayor 'announced the Council would hear from all persons desiring to speak on the matter. -LEE BARLOW, 701 Magnolia Ave. stated he was suppose to appear on a matter January 28th and it was ppst- poned. Last week there was no quorum. The City Planner informed the Council Mr. Barlow was referring to a matter that will come before the Planning Commission next Tuesday. WILLIAM CHADBOURNE, 3940 Garfield St. objected to the rezoning, specifically the one lot- that was re- mote from the large area proposed, as he could see no benefit from spot zoning. His property is located across the street from this lot. The following persons registered their objection to the zone change, supporting Mr. Chadbourne's state- ment: Mrs. William F. Chadbourne, 3940 Garfield St. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur S. Dockham, 3930 Garfield St. Mr. and Mrs. Pete Corsentino, 3960 Garfield St, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Thrasher, 3931 Garfield St, ' Mr. Leo Black, 3921 Garfield St. Mr. Olinghouse, City Planner, informed the Council this matter was initiated last summer by approximate- ly 20 property owners. The Planning Commission recommended that a larger area be included, therefore a specific plan was prepared. The one lot that is remote was included because the owner requested the lot included. Cmn. McComas asked if there was any property contig- uous to the one lot in question that was zoned R-3, and the City Planner pointed out the R-2 and R-3 property surrounding the lot. Mayor Dunne asked if that it was. DOROTHY READ, 250 Chinquapin Ave., stated when this matter was first considered by the Planning Commis- sion, Chinquapin Ave. was included in the plan; how- ever, when she received the notice of hearing from the City Council Chinquapin was excluded and she w.ould like to know why. These lots run very deep, and all of the land between Chinquapin and the back part of Tamarack Ave. is vacant land. Mrs..Read asked that her property be included in order that she can sell part of the p.roperty. I 1. i CITY OF CARLSMD 0 -4- lrerapll 9 \ 'II .. . MRS. NILSON, 390 Tamarack, addressed the Council and stated according to the proposed plan the property on Tamarack would be left as an island, and she was opposed to R-3 zoning that close to her property.

THORLIEF HELGESEN, 3978 Garfield St., inquired as to area, and if so he would like to object. The City Planner informed Mr. Helgesen hi's property was n6t included in -the plan. A diagram of th.e original area was presented by the City Planner, indicating the percentage of property owners in favor of the z0n.e change and those that were opposed. Mayor Dunne suggested that the one lot be eliminated as the solid area indicated there were no objections LOU OLSEN, realtor, stated he attended the Planning Commission meeting when this matter was discussed. The area proposed in the specific plan has many good homes that have not reached their economic life. The one lot in question has a 45 year old home lot should be considered individually. Some day this entire area will be R-3, however, he did not feel this was the time. If the entire area that is proposed is included for R-3 zoning it could create a hardship on many of the property owners. MR. CHADBOURNE, again addressed the Council, pointin out the house that is 45 y.ears old rents for $95.00 per month. There is a $50,000.00 home located on the property across from this lot and R-3 zoning would certainly depreciate the value of the home. As there were no other persons desiring to speak, the Mayor declared the hearing closed.

Neiswender pointed out the Planning Commission is trying to follow the Spanish architecture for the entire complex in the area. Mayor Dunne suggested the applicant meet with the City Plan-ner and work out a suitable solution. Discussion was given as to this development being a. freeway service facility, which would require three or more service facilities included in the develop- ment. The City Planner stated they did not consider this development a freew.ay facility due to the loca- tion of the property. JOHN MAMAUX,. 1393 Basswood Ave., stated this proper- ty should be zoned commercial for economic reasons, This is the only corner left in this area for a serv'ice station. He did not agree this was a free- way facility due to the large storm drain located . between Vista Way and this property. This would be a neighborhood station and he support,ed the request f.0r.C-2 zoning. Further, the Council should consider whether or not the property should be zoned commer- cial and not what type of architecture.
