. . Minutes - Plan Commission Page 9 January 27, 1988 Balson Avenue. Mr. RufKahr stated that this property, currently zoned "MR"-Medium Density Residential, had originally been platted for developing the Lionsgate Condominiums. He introduced Mr. Jim Hall of Hall, Halsey, and Wind, a planning and engineering firm, to detail the proposed subdivision and site improvements. Mr. Hall presented a preliminary subdivision plat which outlined the development of seven detached single family residences on the southern portion of the original Lionsgate Condominium property. He stated that the proposed sale price of each home would be approximately $135,000 to $200,000. He outlined various alternatives for access to the site which would ultimately be decided upon by the Traffic Commission and Plan Commission through the subdivision approval process. Chairman McCauley called on Mr. Goldman to present the Planning Department report on the proposal. Mr. Goldman had stated that there was some question as to the preliminary plat which depicted a street 26 feet wide. Mr. Hall responded that the pavement of the proposed street for the new subdivision would be 26 feet wide, however the right-of-way set aside would cover a width of 50 feet - a requirement of the University City Subdivision Ordinance. Mr. Goldman stated that he had no objection to rezoning the tract to single family residential. Ms. Kreishman asked about the proximity of the existing Lionsgate Condominiums. Mr. Rufkahr responded that the existing condominium buildings were no closer than 97 feet to the proposed property line since the 97 foot distance was currently owned by the Lionsgate Condominiums and covered by its condominium indentures. Mr. Marsh stated that he would abstain from the vote on this application since, in his business, he had previously dealt with the Rufkahr Land Development Company. After further discussion, Mr. Kendall moved that the Plan Commission recommend that the 1.6 acre tract on the west side of North and South Road at the eastern terminus of Balson Avenue be rezoned from "MR"-Medium Density Residential to "SR"-Single Family Residential. Mr. Safe seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 5-0 with one abstention. REQUEST TO SUBDIVIDE PROPERTY AT 8684 OLIVE BOULEVARD (BEYER'S LUMBER COMPANY PROPERTY) Chairman McCauley called on Mr. Ed Manion to present the proposal to subdivide the Beyer's Lumber Company property. Mr. Manion stated that he represented Manion-Stude Realtors which had a contract to purchase the Beyer's Lumber Company property at 8684 Olive Boulevard. He stated that the property was to be subdivided into seven lots. The Beyer's Lumber Company would lease Lots 3 and 6 for its business and storage. Lot 7 was already separately owned by the WMC Partnership. Lot 1 was currently occupied by American Olean Tile Company and Manion-Stude would eventially propose to build a new building on Lot 2.
