-2- 5. 2-5. Public Hearings a. Chairman Pro-tem Englund announced that this was the time and the place to hold a public hearing on request of Malcolm Glad to consider a change in zoning from R-1 residential, one family, to R-2, two family homes. Mr. Spano, Public Relations man, with Apache Corporation stated that a con- sultant was contacted to make a study as to the best use of the strip of land along the northern portion of Apache property fronting on Silver Lane. The study indicated that the best use of the land would be with high rise apartments. Mr. Glad made some comments on the quality of double bungalows he would build and also the price range of 40.000 to 45,000 with a rental of 225.00 to 250.00 per month would bring desirable tenants. Joe Rosinek of 2609 Silver Lane stated that in the meetings that the residents along Silver Lane have had they would like to keep the area as zoned A-1 . Arthur Downing of 4029 Silver Lake Terrace referred to the strip of land as a forgotten area with no maintenance whatsoever. George Walquist of 2409 Silver Lane asked Mr. Spano just what are the plans of Apache in expanding the area with more commercial enterprises. He stated that they are working with several prospects for new types of business, but that they have not as yet signed any new tenants. • Peggy Allguire of 2916 Silver Lake Court was very much against double bungalows as they are not taken care of as they should be. L. F. Heuer asked Mr. Glad if he would post a bond to guarantee completion of the whole strip if he did start the project. Mr. Glad assured him that he would post such a bond. Mr. Burns, /apache Real Estate division, presented a sketch of the area showing High rise apartments along the strip which the Apache Corporation intends to pursue. Chairman Pro tem Englund announced that the hearing was closed. Upon motion by Howitz seconded by Miedtke to recommend to the Council that the rezoning be denied. Motion Carried. Louis Howitz took the chair at 9:45 P.M. and opened the hearing on the rezoning of the property at 3309 Stinson Boulevard. Mr. Howitz related some of the past history of this property and stated that it had been the feeling of the board members that it should have an R-2 zoning. Mrs. Amerman presented a petition with 19 names of people in the area that had no objection to the Commercial zoning. After discussion with Mrs. Amerman and hearing her desire to be allowed to continue her Business School and Decorating Studio, the Board • informed her that they would recommend to the Council that she he allowed to continue.
