Applicant - Peninsular Properties Inc.
~. Ward Pan-in represented Peninsular Properties. ~e indicated on a display
model ~fnat they intend to do. These will be approximately $50,000 homes. %~ill
leave natural g~ on the property.
The reason for t]~e apartment complex, it ~ms the feeling that a ck~lex construction
would not be maintained but Peninsular Properties could maintain 'the exterior of
the apartments and be complementary to the project. People would be -willing to
rent an apartment near the railroad tracks but not buy a home there. There are
eight units per building, five buildings.
It was asked if Peninsular Properties would pave S. F.. 1st Street through' to
S. ~,'1. 27th Avenue. }~!r. Parris stated that they would.
A letter was read from Joyce 6 John Suiter objecting to the request, also a
letter in objection from }~. ~ Mrs. B. b~. Keatts and a petition with thirty-three
signatures.
~4r. Leon Everett, 197 S. E. 27th Avenue, objected to the request. It is a nice
quiet neighborhood ,rith single family homes and he would like to keep it this way.
Aparments ~vould make it unsightly. He is against a street coming around in back
of his property. He has been there fourteen years.
}.k. Loyal Rohrbaught, 2857 S. E. 1st Place, objected to the request. He stated
that he ~as told in a Council ~;geting that S. ~.. 2nd Street wouId eventually go
through arid tonight he was told t,hat it could not.
}4r. Benny Keatts, 195 S. E. 27th Avenue, was with the group that collected
signatures for the petition and only one person that he talked with was not
actually against the request. He stated that t~enty units per acres is pretty hiDh
density and he is very much against it.
B'Ir. Gary Winter, 191 S. E. 27th Avenue, is opposed to the request. Rezoning
would down grade the area. M~ wanted a single family area and chose this one.
Y~nutes of the Planning and Zoning
Board ?~eting, July 7-26-71 7:30 P.M.
Mr. Edward Nbore objected to the request. He stated that it would cause much
traffic and be very dangerous.
Mr. Oscar Peterson, 176 S. E. 27th Avenue, objected to the request. He stated
that it is hazardous approaching Seacrest no~ and it would make it worse.
B~r. Parrin stated that Peninsular Properties would definitely maintain thc exterior
of the apartment buildings.

by ~r. ~t~alker. ~'btion carried 5-0.
