APPEAL 214 Hearing was opened on Appeal 21~ filed FREESE by Glen Co Jo Freese, appealing the Zoning Administrator's denial of VA 68-82 to permit three dwellings in addition to two existing dwellings on an R 1 lot at 500? West 5th Street° Glen Freese, the appellant, explained to the Council that he thought it would be better for the density in the area to leave the triplex as three two-bedroom units and not rent to families with children rather than make it into two three-bedroom apart- ments. Mrs. Boe~te, next door neighbor, spoke in opposition to granting of the variance. The hearing was closed° The Plamuing Director explained that when the area was annexed in 1959, the Planning C~ission found a variety of conditions; they held a series of studies to plan a policy that would lead to physical improvement of the streets, and determined they would allow by variance four units per long lot; if and when the streets were improved through assessment district, they would then consider a higher density. Mr. Stevens also explained that Mr° Freese had been granted a variance in 1967 for four units and had submitted this application after the triplex was moved onto the lot~ After some discussion by Council, it was moved by Counc~lm-u Brooks, seconded by Councilman Nerrin, to overrule the action of the Zoning Administrator and grant the appeal, and instruct the City Attorney to prepare a resolution granting Variance 68-82 subject to the conditions in the original variance, VA 67-6, and adding the condition that 5th Street and 6th Street be improved to City standards -- if construction not feasible now, that an appropriate bond be filed.
