session 1568, Minutes May 4, 1992 Page 5 Ms. SUsie Fhilpott, 7345 Wesbnoreland, who lives across the street from the property being discussed, said it has becx:lroo obvious that sul::dividing this lot will result in an awkward squeezed-in look to the smaller lot that does not fit with the spaciousness of the neighbomood. All of the houses have large spaces between them, but that would not be tru.e with the subdvision. In addition, several lovely and large old trees would be lost. She urged Council to remember the Comprehensive Plan, which stresses strongly the im- portance of preserving University City's beautiful residential neighbomoods. Mr. William Peniston, 7360 Westmoreland, the resident iJmnediately west of the proPerty in question, said the few lots on the block that are swlar in size to the smallest subject lot are not in the center part of the block where the subject property is. He felt putting two small lots in the center of the block would have a negative effect on the entire block. Mrs. Schuman noted that the Plan Cormnission had extensive hearings on this issue in January, Februro:y and April, and all three times recommended denial of this sul::di vision. She then moved that the Council uphold the Plan Cormnis- sion's findings and deny this proposal. Mr. Adams seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
