Unit 3 will provide a neighborhood park site in the southern area of the subdivision adjacent to Woodlawn Park area. Most of the basic issues involved in this subdivision have been resolved, but the subdivider remains concerned about two conditions recommended by the staff and the Planning Commission. The first condition of concern relates to the treatment of landscaping along the rear of double frontage lots on Orange Avenue. Because in the past there has been no effec- tive means of enforcing home owner maintenance of such areas, the Commission is now recommending that this area be maintained through a maintenance district involving either those residents of the double frontage-lots or all of the residents with in the subdivision. The subdivider believes these areas can be effectively maintained by each individual home owner but we believe the maintenance district should be tried. Another condition of concern has to do with the area of the subdivision lying east of Max and north of Orange Avenue. The applicant has left an area between this portion of the subdivision and the shopping center site to the east out of the map because he proposes to request rezoning for multiple family use. While multiple family use here may not be unreasonable and in the event rezoning is not granted the configuration of the property lends itself to single family development it would necessitate access to Orange Avenue only. If it is to be developed with single family use the Commission believes it should be planned as part of the single family subdivision proposed to the west. The subdivider feels it is unnecessary to delete this portion at this time and states that an R-1 pattern, if found to be necessary, could easily be accommodated. Larkhaven Units 3 and 4 were continued from the Council meeting of September 26 at the request of the applicant, Mr. Linton of American Housing Guild, so that he might meet with the staff to resolve several problems within the subdivision.
