Mr. Kostner remarked that this was something quite new with
abandoning hal~ of a thoroughfare and leaving the other half
exposed as a r~ght-o£-way. He.is wondering about the owner
of Lot ~30 not being int~restem in~.'~ entering into the agree-
ment. Dr. Cam~betl informed him that when t~ey agreed to
purchase Lot ~6, they ~m~,~de her aware they were going to re-
quest abandonment of N. ~. ~rd Ct. and the purchase is based
on that. She has said nothing pro or c~n about it. Mr.
Lambert questioned if there was enough ~om on the existing
pavement to ha~e a lane of tra££ic go in for Lot ~30 and
added that possibly it would create a more serious traffic
hazard. There was some discussion about this and then ~.
Lambert asked ~he City Planner to co~ent. He added that
half of Lot 13~'s commercial frontage ws~ on 3rd Ct, ~.
Annunziato repZied that they coulm= not consider abandoning
the north half of Lot 130.
~. A. Clyde Worreli stated his name and his address as 334
S, W. 12th Avenue and informed the Board that he was a member
of the First B~ptist Church. In reference to abandoning the
commercial frontage of this property, Lot 130 fronts on Sea-
crest. There ~s only a drivewa~ from Lot 1~0 onto 3rd Ct.
~'~. Lamber~ replied that he questioned whe'tner they could
turn arouna and park in that commercial establishment if
they cannot drive on there. He told about his experience
with parking oa this small parking lot and how he had to
pull on through to 3rd Ct. ~. ~orrell stated that the 25 ft,
was as wide as the existing street and this would be made
into a drive. Mr. Lambert stated it seemed they would be
taking away tbs right they have had with having a City street
adjacent to th~ property and explained how it wasppossibly
creating a hardship for Lot 130, There was Some ~iscussion
regarding the exact width and then ~. Kostner agreed that
it seemed like they were creating a real hardship here.
?~. Kostner stated he thought the entire street should be
abandoned, but the City Planner has pointed out that this
cannot be done at this time. As presented, he believes it
would create a hardship, would create a problem, and would
be confusing. He does not see how it would do any good in
an~,~ sense. Either tn~y should ~a~an~on the entire street
including the area open to the west side of Seacrest or
leave the street open entirely. He does not think this
will resolve anything and will create probler~.

Mr. Annunziato informed the Board that while studying the
~oning~ordinanGe, he felt they were being remi~s with allow-
m~g ~ovels ~ud motels~to remain in the R~3 zone. Alternates
s~ould he, explOred ~i~her to eliminate them or have as a con-
ditional use.. He explained that he felt they should not be
permitted becaWse the R-3 zone len~s itself to two story town-
houses ~d garden tyoe aoartme~ts with low density. He sug-
gested exploring it ~urt~er now that they will,have an~ordi-

taken in a little bit in not opposing certain things. They
did not recognize the implication and as such, they missed
Sections C~ D, E, F, and G of the R-3 regulations. They
would like to request this revision as proposed and also
oossibly revie' the other items including Sections C, D, E
~, and ~. He ~ould like the Board to consider all f~ce~s.'
The primary in~ent of R-3 is a multiple family ~welling dis-
tric~ and apartments. He stressed that it was of the utmost
importance to ~eview and revise this immediately.
Mr. Annunziato explained how they were a permissive use at
this t~me and he does not know if the conditional use would
be binming until it was enacted. In order to make it bind-
ing, the ordinance would have to be changed to make the uses
conditional instead of permitted. Chairman Kelly added that
~t would come before the Planning & Zoning Board for a public
nearing ~ud compleoe discussion. Mr. Levitow stated that if
it were removed completely, there would be no question of
bothering the Board. Chairman Kelly explained that this
Board was a re,on, ending Board and any passage of the recom-
mendations is Up to the City Council.
~. Kostner ~u~stioned Mr. Levitow's interest in this soeci-
ficai!y in h~ving these eliminated and Mr. Levitow rep!~ed
that he was a resident of the Leisurevi!le area. Mr. Kostner
referred to th~ agenda listing a discussion of eliminating
hotels and mot$!s and he thinks they must adhere to that. M~.
Lambert disagreed and stated he p~anned to go iht? the other
iten~ also. ~Chairman Kelly agree~ that he thoughv they could
discuss all of them.
~. Ryder clarified that they were talking aboutL!iving in a
residSntial district adjacent to an unimoroved area which is
zoned differen$1y and being in a constant state of apprehension.
This can happen ~hroughout the City and it is not pleasant to
live with. Hotels and motels are actually co~ercial, but are
not in a commePcial zone. They must make the distinction of
whether they are truly commercial rather than residential and
must aopreciat[ the problem people have~? regarding uncertain-
ties t~y are faced ~m~h.~'~ He moes~ not mean they~have to go
along with all the sections being based on conditional use.
~. Levitow, re~e~.ea to the same categories being included
in the C-3 zone and actually being in two categories. The
intent of R-3 is to restrict it to a residential area.
Mr. Lambert re~erred to hotels and motels being objectionable
~m questmoned rooming ann bos~ding houses, nursin~ homes.
etc. [~c. Annu~ziaoo replied that he though~ boarding houses
were multi-fam~!y dwellings of a sort and thinks they are
prooeriy classified. Since this is the highest smd !east
restrictive re~identia! zone, this is where they belong.

z a boarding house and a hotel and M~. Annunziato
it was based on the definition and use. There
~r discussion regarding the actual differences.
~ted he believes the question of conditional use
would be the m~st applicable to some of these matters because
they somet~nes may be a benefit to the '- '~
communmcy and he ex-
plained.
~. Ryder r~ferred to this requiring further study and discus-
sion and~su~ge~ted having a workshop meeting~ Mr. Levitow
agreed these w~re not simple problems~ but thinks they are
faced with an ~cute problem at the present time. Unless they
have the right to stop a permit for'a hotel or motel at the
oresent time, ~[t would make their situation unlivable.
~hairman Kelly replied that the ordinance would t~ke abou~
30 days to go :Lnto effect. Mr. Levitow replied that he was
concerned with the interim period. Under the oresent struc-
ture, it would be possible for someone to come in and estab-
lish a hotel c~)nforming to the R-3 requirements. Mr. Annunziato
explaine~ that regardless of any action t¢~en tonight, they
were still 4 t, 6 weeks away from final action. ~. Levitow
emphasized thaI a workshop and other studies would also take
time.
After discussi~ n, the members agreed all the sections would
require study ~nd a workshop meeting would be in order. The
members starte~ discussing the soonest date~ ~he0 v could meet
and ~.,~. Lamber- questioned the big rush and referred to this
being on the b~ oks for months and he think~ it deserves a
little thought and research. Mr, Levitow replied that he
was the Chairm~n of the Ad-Hoc Committee of Leisureville and
they were very concerned. Mr. Ryder added that attempts have
been made to d~)wngrade the area on 15th Ave. ~..Lambert re-
ferred to~,hez~r being different opinions of downgrading and
still question~d what this was all about.
Chairman Kelly clarified that an application had been pre-
sented for C-~ and C-3 on two pieces of presently zoned. R-3
property on 15~;h Avenue, but the public turned out and the
application wa~ withdrawn. },~. Lambert replies that he re-
membered this, but d~d not understand this'anxmety. They
are discussing part of the zoning ordinance and he is lost
with reference~ to the time element and downgrading specific
sites. He doe~ not think this requires any action and a
workshop could be set up withi~hthe next few week~.
Mr. Kostner ma(~e a motion to table this matter to a work~hop
meeting to be (.esignated by the Chair at the convenience of
