USE PERMIT - UP -35-77 - Lewis McCaslin A request from Lewis McCaslin for reconsideration of the denial of Use Permit UP -35-77 was reviewed by Council. Mr•. McCaslin sub- mitted petitions containing 38 signatures supporting his application for a Use Permit. In his letter to Council he indicated he is prepared to accept as a condition of the use permit that the plumbing in the three duplexes be compatible with the use of sewers and to promise that he will connect to a sewer line; if and when Redding sewer service is extended to the 2100 block of Marlene Avenue. In a discussion of this request, Councilman Demsher said that his main concern was not the sewer problem, but the traffic that multiple family development would create. It is his belief that the traffic prob- lem that already exists in the vicinity of Mr. McCaslin's property must be resolved before approval can be given for any new multiple -family development. Councilwoman Gard indicated that she had three concerns; i.e. , the use of septic tanks; the fact that there is considerable vacant land in the vicinity of the McCaslin property and a decision to approve UP -35-77 pre -determines the dispostion of the vacant land; and the aggravation of a traffic problem. Mrs. Gard said she would be willing reconsider the matter at another public hearing. Councilman Pugh said he favored the issuance of the Use Permit at the last public hearing, although he does appreciate the concerns expressed by Councilman Demsher and Councilwoman Gard. He noted that the property owners who oppose the development were aware of the zoning (County zoning was R-2) and no effort was made to have a more restrictive zoning imposed. He acknowledged that sewers could be a problem but noted that Mr. McCaslin has indicated his willingness to connect to a sewer line when one is extended. He said he doubts that the traffic generated by the three duplexes would add substantially to the traffic problem. Mr. Pugh thinks the matter should be reconsidered. MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by. Councilwoman Gard that a Public Hearing be set for 7:30 P.M. , May .2";. 1977 to re- consider Use Permit UP -35-77 re Lewis McCaslin. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes APPEAL OF,USE PERMIT - UP -57-77 by Frank Giordano Council was advised that Frank Giordano has withdrawn his Appeal of Use Permit UP -57-77, and that the Public Hearing set for 7:30 P.M. on April 18, 1977 will not be held. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, at the hour of 12:10 P.M. , the Vice Mayor declared the meeting adjourned. ATTEST: Vice Mayor City Clerk 0., 1 M CI7:1Y 0I.'
