Zoning and Vacation Committee 10-10-88 Page 2 Ann Mannix of Neighborhood Housing Services stated that one of the intents of the ordinance is to encourage single family home ownership. She noted that the area in question had not been rezoned since World War II. It was further noted that no remonstrance was heard at the Area Plan Meeting. Councilman Slavinskas and Council Member Puzzello then voiced favorable comments with regard to the proposed rezoning. Council Member Puzzello noted that the City had appropriated a considerable amount of money into the area with regard to services, and building and that alot of improvements had been made in the last 4 to 5 years. Councilman Luecke stated that in the 1st District a similar rezoning had taken place several years ago and has been successful. He therefore would be supporting the proposed Bill. Following further comments, Councilman Coleman made a motion seconded by Councilman Luecke that Substitute Bill No. 105- 87 be recommended favorably to Council. The motion passed. The Committee then reviewed Bill No. 83-88 which would vacate the first north-south alley west of Frances Street and Bill No. 84-88 which would vacate the first east-west alley south of Colfax Street. Mr. Steve Henry represented the petitioner's on the these proposed Bills. He provided blueprints of the area in question. He noted that Bill No. 83-88 was being filed on behalf of Doctors Lawton and Stenger and Troeger, Garcia and Ansari. He further noted that the property owners for Bill No. 84-88 were the same named doctors. The proposed vacation would be to allow additional parking for the building of a medical building which would be primarily used to serve cancer patients. Council Member Puzzello voiced several concerns with regard to the proposed vacations. She stated that three conditions must be met namely to address ingress and egress to the garage on lot number 4, to address the installation of a guard rail on the fence, and to provide a requirement for 45 degree parking. Reference was then made to the board minutes of the Public Works Committee Meeting of October 3, 1988 where many of these issues were discussed.
