Session 1734, Minutes November 2, 1998 Mr. Lieberman said that this store does sell various bottles for hairstyling at retail. Also there is an art display for sale. He sees a corollary between this shop and Napps on the east end of Delmar and he does not remember any fuss about retail with them. They are very similar and, in actuality, do provide retail. The motion to approve carried unanimously. AGENDA NO. 5 - RESUBDIVISION OF 7937 CORNELL: Mr. Ollendorff concurs with the Plan Commission recommendation to approve the splitting of this lot into two parcels each of which meets all zoning ordinance requirements as to size. Each of the resulting lots will also be typical of the size found in this neighborhood. Approval will result in two new high quality houses where only one currently exists. The new houses will be no closer to each other or to the existing neighboring houses than is the situation on other properties nearby. He is told that there may be some private restrictions on the use of property within this neighborhood. The City does not enforce private restrictions. Mr. Schoomer said that he had received on Sunday copies of the subdivision indenture for the fifteen homes which comprise the Fairbrooks subdivision, which would seem not to permit buildings of this nature to be erected. As the City Manager has described, however, this is a private matter and the City can't enforce them. Since this proposal does meet within the state requirements for resubdivision and the zoning code, there is not a choice in whether or not to approve it. He would like, however, to propose to table this matter until the neighbors have a chance to investigate whatever legal proceedings are necessary to make their point properly heard. Mr. Munkel is in agreement that if there is a legal entanglement for the use of this property that the legal process should be addressed before a vote is cast on this matter. Mr. Sharpe asked if there were contractors willing to build on this lot. The Mayor replied that there were contractors willing to build on this property. Debbie Garbow, 7947 Cornell, is one of the fifteen property owners in this subdivision. They are mostly concerned with the way the neighborhood is going to look, and the congestion and crowding that will take place. There are no two story houses sandwiched between ranch style houses anywhere in the neighborhood. There are legal deed restrictions for the properties in this subdivision, which will be addressed by the next speaker.
