<br />and 15 lots facing east side of Townsend otreet, in P~-i District. Ws~me ~bke,
<br />1234 South Douglas Street, representing some llO hcme owners, requested the
<br />Council to refer to a map which had been submitted. He stated there is no
<br />economic need for multiple family units in that area and preferred the section
<br />remain residential;these units are seldom owner-occupied, and it is his under-
<br />standing the builder intends to construct the apartments a~ sell the property;
<br />stated %he units will create a traffic problem as there ~ill be some 180
<br />famtlies in these apartments. ~r. and ~grs. Ralph A. Eaiser, 1134 Douglas
<br />
<br />Street, inquired what benefits the Oity would gain by spot zoning this parti-
<br />cular section in an R-1 District, as the home owners would gain nothing; it would
<br />increase the school problem and traffic. Richard Latham, 1122 South Douglas,
<br />objected to the grantingof the Variance. R. L. Jacobson, 1033 S. ~o~d Street,
<br />stated he is opposed to the variance because he Oought his home with the under-
<br />standing that the vacant land would be built to single-family dwellings and
<br />disliked to see the area changed into a tenement section. ~. W. Hester, repre-
<br />set, hug Fairview Hom~s, stated some 400 feet north of this property are approx-
<br />imately 50 R-3 lots and 700 feet south are 27 R-3 lots; helieves the traffic
<br />on Raitt Street will increase considerably in the next ~ or 5 years. The
<br />buildings will be of a fine type, and it would be a hardship to sell 15 R-1
<br />houses on Raitt Street. It was moved ~y Councilman Hall, seconded by Hu0bard
<br />and carried, that the matter be postponed to the next regular meeting M~ 18,
<br />

<br />~elvin L. Hobson, 1326 South Sycamore Street, on behalf of his neighbors,
<br />stated he is not protesting but was interested in when the fence would be
<br />erected. Lawrence Lewis, one of the purchasers of subject property, stated
<br />there were no objections to buil~L~g a solid block fence but felt the chain
<br />link fence as existing, planted to shrubs, might be more appropriate. It
<br />was moved by Councilman mubbard, seconded by Hall and carried, that Variance
<br />Application No. 1102 be granted, subject th conditions, and the further con-
<br />dition that the solid block fence be constructed in accordance with the require-
