r•Tr. Erling Hallanger, 1875 Tatum, was concerned that an apartment of this height would dominate the land- scape.: He also felt that more studies should be made concerning ingress and egress of traffic onto Lar- tenteur Avenue. He also f eft that to increase tax benefits to the City, the apartment units would have to be occupied and stated that he feels there is at the present time an adequate number of apartments in the City with their share of vacancies. He questioned the adequacy of police and fire protection with the added number of residents. Tyr. Lois Kerarner, 1768 Tatum, explained that at the present time there is a drainage easement between her house and the neighbors, and stated that she feels an apartment complex of this type would increase the water flow through this area, and feels that the drainage ditch would be unable to handle the capacity. Tom PicGough, 1938 Summer, questioned the size of the holding pond to be constructed, and also the density of units proposed. He stated that 26 units per acre was high and that it did not conform with standards set by the T~letro Government and other municipalities. Engineer Lemberg explained how the size of the holding pond is determined and explained the unit measure of acre feet. Chet Saunders, 1786 Tatum, indicated that he felt developments of apartments on this property would devalue the adjacent property and that traffic would increase considerably on both Lindig and Fairview Avenues with the development. Ray Garcia, 1905 r1. Prior, questioned how the increase in the number of people in the City, by approximately 20 per cent could possbily mean there would "not have to be added police and fire protection. He stated that a complex of this type would be depressing to the people adjacent to it, and that they would not have the opportunity to enjoy the evening sun. He also stated that he does not feel that the developers are the only willing buyers for property of this kind and that in the future someone would present an idea which would be more suited to the land use. Eugene A11en, 1715 Lindig, read a letter from Florian Lauer, 1736 Tatum, stating his objections to the proposed rezoning, which is on file in the C1erkTs office. T-ir. Allen questioned the times during which traffic counts were made and stated that he feels the present entrances on Larpenteur would be inconvenient for people in the apartments and add to the already congested Larr~enteur Avenue. He also stated that a complex of this nature would be likely to attract students who might become noisy and unruly at times.
