a 40 ft. radius equalling 80 ft.,, ~, Mr, Blacketer asked if
parking would be allowed on the circle. Mr. Barrett replied: No, but if No. 5 is

Novotny Rental Apartments
611-651 SoW. 15th Avenue
N~. Barrett presented the Board with plans. Col. Wehrell questioned why a rental and
not a condominium, as many rentals are changing to condominiums now. Mr. Barrett
replied that those making this change-over are mostly older units which have gotten
their majority out of it. They then lease the land only for gg years and the owners
must maints&n the building. !Gr. Vastine asked what the density requirement was and
Mr. Walker replied 31.3. Mrs. Huckle questioned the traffic problem in that area.

~uother road with a collector road and no left turns. The Police and Fire Department
are now considering it. There was a discussion concerning the traffic congestion.

further informed the Board that it is planned to be four stories high with 180 units.

Zoning Board and Comncil that this Board take no action on this project in view of
the serious traffic problems. Mr. Kostner stated the Bos~d must take action regard-
less and Mr. Barrett added that some sort of action must be taken or a permit cannot
be granted. ~. Barrett further added that it was a misunderstanding when the Plan.
ming and Zoning Board was included in this as it is governed by ordinance. It was
brought before the Board previously and accepted for density and preliminary approval,
but no ~e~mit was issued because of the moratorium~ The Police Department and D.O.T.
must work out the traffic hazard. 0ol. Wehrell withdrew his motion.

a~d Council this Board Has no objection, except revision of exits and entrances to
reduce traffic hazards. Mr. Walker seconded the motion.

something about this and work with us. Motion carried 6-1. Mr. Blacketer voted
