Mayor Martin ascertained there were no written protests.
Planning Director Keyes briefed council on the action of the Planning Commission
to date: That Don.King and Bob Torrey had favored rezoning, _ stating the estab-
lished single-family, patter-n of development should not reasonably be exposed to
conversion of du�lex ,development and that duplex development on some remaining
lots, 25 ft. in width, would not be appropriate. Jere I-�urley requested R-1
zoning, and a petition with 37 signatures approving the rezoning had been received.

a dwelling was on the rear of the lot a second dwelling could be built if the Planning

permit could.be obtained.,
Councilman Kriegsrnan stated when you rezone property to a more restrictive
� zone, yo�a are facing the risk of,infringing on aomeonezs right; you must take into
consideration, those.people who_ pu;r,chased the property under the original zone.
