#92-05-ZC CONSIDER THE REQUEST OF NEWPORT CLASSIC HOMES, FOR A CHANGE OF
ZONING FROM CUD (COMINITY UNIT DEVELOPMENT) CONFORMING TO -3 (NULTI-FAMILY 12
U/A MAXIM) TO CUD (COMMUNITY UNIT DEVELOPMENT) CONFORMING TO R-4 (MULTITFANILY
LIMITED TO 14 U/A MAXIMUM) AT 200 W. HEAR CREEK DRIVE.
Mr. Derr Lade, 105 Westover (Lot 16) , stated that his property is one of two
which would be most impacted by the proposed zoning change and he is still in
opposition to the proposed building.
Mr. A. J. Molina, 107 Westover (Lot 15), advised the Commissioners that he is
still opposed to the proposed building. He stated the population to the area
would be increased and he presently has a nice view out his backyard.
Mr. Jack Hixson, 109 Westover (Lot 14), stated that all his concerns with
security have been put to rest and he has no objections to the zoning change.
Pis. Michele Campbell, 300 Dear Creek Drive (Lot 3) , stated that she feels good
about the security and the additional trees, but is not comfortable with the
apartments being added. She further stated that there is still a problem with
overcrowding of the schools which also creates an abundance of traffic. She
also stated that she has spoken with teachers at the school and they too are
opposed to this addition as it would create overcrowding of the schools. Ms.
Campbell stated that new apartments should be constructed on one of the several
other sites in the City zoned for this use.
Mr. Tony Florence, 113 Westover (Lot 11) , advised the Commissioners that the
problem with the two (2) dead trees had been resolved and they had been removed.
Mr. Keith Ashburn, 213 Westover (Lot a), stated his main concerns were with the
traffic, children and the overcrowding of the schools. He advised that the
Commissioners take this into consideration.
There being no further discussion from opponents, Chairman Hill called for any
discussion or questions from the Commissioners.
Commissioner Tyson reiterated the same concerns regarding overpopulation, the
inadequate supply of classrooms in the schools and that this zoning case is not
in compliance with the ordinance and therefore moved to recommend denial of the
zoning change request for Zoning Case No. 92-05.
Commissioner Deithloff seconded the motion and the vote was as follows:
Ayes: Commissioners Tyson, Deithloff, Young, Hill and Zahn
Nays: Commissioners Maloney and Owens
Chairman Fill declared the motion carried and advised the applicant that this
case could still be presented to City Council for consideration.
