Section 25
Mrs. Leroy Hysell, 11709 Camden, informed commission that the PS classification shoom
North of the C-2 on Plymouth Road east of Middlebelt Road which classification
goes to the creek, is incorrect. Wondered what would be done about this error.
An unidentified woman questioned why residents in area on Hartel were not
notified on rezoning to M-1. Stated they are building in there now.
Section 26 - no comment
Section 27 - no comment
Section 28
Mr. Joseph Vanzo, 12066 Boston Post Road, representing Tri-Sub. Civic Association,
questioned why the subdivision lots have been d' creased in size as far as type of
zoning is concerned. Stated most of the lots are 1/2 acre. Residents had this
changed from RiB to RU and the reason for this change was to maintain size of lots
so that they would not be split. This is being changed right back to where is was
before.
Mr. Walker stated this change was apparently made by the City Council inasmuch as
when this commission made its study this area was laid out as RU. Agreed that RU
is more logical zoning. This is being submitted to public now as it was returned
to commission from Council. When it is returned to the Council it will have
changes made by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission and the Council
are apart on a lot of things at this point.
Mr. Vanzo stated he objects to this change because it, ,is defeating what residents
have taken five years to gain. Thought area should bt either R4 or R5.
