NEARING - A.A. 499 Mayor Eall opened the continued hearing on DIEBRICN AmenSment Application 499 filed by R. A. Diedrich to amend Sectional District Map 6-5-9 by reclassifying from the R i to the R ~ district, property on the east side of Santa Fe Railroad between 17th and Santa Clara, on which Planning C .... ~ssion recommended denial. Warren Proctor, 115 W. 15th Street, agent for the applicant, stated that a meeting had been held with representatives of the opponents, but all the problems had not been resolved. He quoted frc~ a University of California- Berkeley Study which indicated that famtlies with children occupy only one unit in seven a~d abomt one third are occupied by single persons. Mr. Proctor presented new plans to the Council which had been discussed with the Plaa~ing Director, in which Nathaway Street ended in a cul-de-sac, and which provided a buffer area of six h~-es, which builder would agree to construct on the same lot sizes and to be of equal value with adjacent hemes. He would also either place a six foot block wall to the rear or concrete block garages which would abut the R 1 hemes. Mr. Proctor stwa~arized the benefits provided as threefold: no through traffic except for an emergency crash gate; almost cmaplete privacy; and no auto traffic between the apartments and the R 1. Ne gave supporting statements to his ccatenticm that R 4 was warranted because of sufficient precedence, the plan was not detrimental to the area, and was not opposed to public policy. Ne note~ that R 1 development was not practical a~Jacent to the railroad. Ne oonclu~ed by saying that the developer was willing to make smae changes, provided the cost was not e~cessive. Nathan Tart, ~02 E. Avalon, representing the Northeast ~amta Ama Residents Association, stated the Santiago re~.ening should not be considered a precedent since in that case all a~m~istrative proceedings were exhausted Before Council's action. He maintained that since the property was owned By the Schroeders, they should have filed the application insteed of Diedrich; that sufficient precedence he~ not been established; au~ that one street for ingress ami egress, with only an additional emergency gate, would not be sufficient for the traffic generated by 266 units. He asked the C~ucil to wait for the General Plan before making a decision, amd that more time be given for study of the revised plA~ presented by the applicant. Ernest R. ~qie~fried, 1202 E. Avalon, suggested that the matter be continued. Mr. Proctor stat~ this woul~ place applicant in hazardous position as he is in escrow. Walter Newbrander, 1202 E o Bmffalo, stated that most people were not aware of all the facts. There being no further testimony, the hearing was close~. CIT~ COUNCIL - 417 - June 15, 196~
