Commissioner Scott questioned if Ms. Halsey Bracewell had another zone change application in
process now, to which she replied no, that if the property was zoned R-1 a section could be
pardoned for ingress, and she could replat it.
Commissioner Starr made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Mathis to table Application No.
137.
Motion passed to table 4 to 0.
Commissioner Scott had concerns with Application No. 138's tract having 72' in depth which
would make it difficult to build on. He went on to say that if it was zoned MF, single family
residences could be built in a staggered fashion. Commissioner Scott referred to the Land Use
and Urban Development Ordinance, page 26-27, Section 9- MF, Multi -Family, Section 9.4.
General Conditions, a: which states minimum site areas must be at least 65,000' in area; and b:
minimum width is 125'. Vice Chairman Emil Beltz said it would be difficult to build townhouses
in that space.
Commissioner Mathis questioned the density of the land use as MF, and Ms. Halsey Bracewell
said it depends on how the property is designed and used. She went onto say that future
building will have to be well planned so that it does not diminish the surrounding property.
Director of Planning and Development Dennis Smith said the property could possibly accomodate
a MF zoning through a variance. Commissioner Starr said that it would have to be a Planned
Unit Development (PUD), and does not think it could be.
Mr. Smith said he will get with Ms. Halsey Bracewell and reconfigure the application if she
desired. Ms. Halsey Bracewell said she would withdraw the application and resubmit as R-1.
A motion was made by Commissioner Scott, and seconded by Commissioner Mathis to deny
Application No. 138.

Motion passed to deny 4 to 0.
