. . April 22, 1992 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes Page 4 Suzie Philpott, 7345 Westmoreland stated that she applauds the hard work that the Comforts have put into clearing the property since they have moved in. However, that has made it even more clear that the resubdivision should not be granted. The public hearing was closed. Ms. Ratner stated that she questions the interpretation of the word "lot" in the neighborhood indentures since 14 out of 19 homes on that block were built differently than they were platted. However, the Zoning Code for the "SR" District states: "The purpose of the "SR" district is to protect and conserve areas of predominantly single-family detached residences, while allowing at the same time for the construction of new units if in substantial conformance with surrounding and adjacent residences." The lots that were smaller in size were not close to the property in question. Mr. Goldman stated that height and mass conformance are the only review for zoning, and that could be waived by the City Council. Mr. Safe stated that the applicants have every right to subdivide their land because it statistically fits the regulations of the Zoning Code. However, the existing pattern of the neighborhood is 100' wide lots that go straight back. He stated that he will vote against for that reason. He further stated that all the talk about trees and fences is irrelevant because Mr. Comfort could take those down if he wants with or without a resubdivision. He further stated that there is no cause to be alarmed about this happening again in that neighborhood because there are no other double lots. Ms. Kreishman stated that the progress on the lot was remarkable. She doesn't feel that the proposed lots meet the prevailing pattern of the neighborhood. Mr. Marsh moved that the Plan Commission recommend denial of the resubdivision. The motion was seconded by Mr. Foxworth and passed by a vote of 6 - O. CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR CONDITIONAL USE #304 - UTILITY SUBSTATION. 6220 CABANNE Chairperson Kreishman informed those present that the Plan Commission had scheduled the continuation of the public hearing on an application from Southwestern Bell Mobile Systems represented by John P.
