Dr. Jones was requesting that a s�rip of land in the development r��,�'"
be rezoned from R-3 to R-1 to form single family dwellings along,l�'°`
a street fronting on existing single family lots . He also "S
asked that a strip of C-1 property be rezoned as R-3 to partially
replace the new R-1 area , thus permitting somewhat the same area
for multi-family housing as the original plat .
� There being no opposition to the request , the hearing was closed.
"`- Mayor Lowe then raised a question regarding P&ZC ' s decision to
deny Dr. Jones an entrance onto Highway 528 from the multi-housing
by requiring that this street end in a cul-du-sac and that the �,.�,, ;>
traffic be routed back through the single family area via an
existing street . The Mayor questioned the validity of P&ZC ' s � a
ra�ional that a second street onto FM 528 would consti�ute a
traffic hazard. He also pointed out that P&ZC ' s plan would take
three or four lots off the tax roll , thus costing the taxing
entities $10 , 000 per year in income . The majority of the Planning
Commission felt that their decision was essen�ial in the inrterest
of safety .
