Session 1643, Minutes <br />May 22, 1995 <br /> <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />occupancy could be 18 as suggested in Mr. Goldman's memo. Mr. Cotton said he <br />would support construction of a new hcme at this site, but it must be in ~ <br />pliance with existing structures in the neighborhood in terms of height and <br />mass. He also encouraged the owners, the contractors, and the city to work <br />together to find a cc~p~. <br /> <br />Mrs. Schuman noted the Council has consistently voted against substantial ad- <br />ditions to humes that make them tach larger than others in the neighborhood, <br />even though such decisions are often difficult to make. <br /> <br />Mr. A4ams said b~ could only approve such a large home in this neighborbx)od <br />if other hc~es were being substantially enlarged at tb~ same time. ~his <br /> <br />Mr. Schoomer said b~ liked to encourage new construction, but the proposed <br />house on its current lot is ~uch too large for the neighborhood and would <br />create a new standard he could not support. He moved denial. Mr. Adams <br />seconded the motion. All voted Aye except Mrs. Thompson, who voted Nay. <br /> <br />The Police Department report for the month of April, 1995, was received and <br />ordered filed. <br /> <br />The Personnel report for tb~ week ending May 20, 1995, was received and or- <br />dered filed. <br /> <br />CITIZEN <br /> <br />Ms. Catherine Hunn, 1569 N. Hanley, said there have been nine incidents of <br />crime at her h~e since 1988--break-ins, stolen car, damage to car and ho~ge <br />by vandals thrcwing rocks, shooting bullets, bbs, etc. She felt her area was <br />not getting adequate police protection, and she asked that something be done. <br />Mayor Majors Ms. H~n h~ had some very unfortunate experienoes and <br />asked that a police spok~n meet with Ms. Hunn and try to figure out what <br />can be done to protect her and her family. <br /> <br />Mrs. Vivian Jones, 7526 Lynn, said she did not %~Tderstand why she and her <br />bu-~h~_nd could not build a new hc~e at 7526 Lynn. She said her five children <br />and six grandchil~ had no other place to stay. Mayor Majerus said tb~ <br />vote taken earlier was not against the Jones family personally; it was a vote <br />mainta'n%ing the same standards that all in University City ~ust meet. Mr. <br />Cotton said he supports tb~ Jones' efforts to build a new home, but will not <br />support a hume so big as to allow a much larger number of occupants than <br />tbmre are in c~her homes in that neighborhood--the height and mass of the <br />proposed hc~e is just too big for the other b~nes. <br /> <br />BTT,T.q FOR SRCOND AND THT~D RFADTNGS <br /> <br />BILL NO. 8225 - AM~gDING (/4APTER 34 MUNICIPAL CODE BY C~ANGING THE CLASSIFI- <br /> <br /> <br />
