This being the time and place, as advertised, for a hearing on the proposed rezoning from R-1 to R-3-D of property bounded by Moss and Naples Streets and Alpine Avenue, Mayor Anderson declared the hearing open. Mr. Robert Gans, 129 Naples Street, spoke in opposition to the closing of Moss Street. Mr. Leslie Rice, 138 Moss Street, spoke in opposition to the closing of Moss and asked for a compromise solution to the problem, stating that the residents of the area would accept anything reasonable. Mr. Paul Yeager objected to residents of the County appearing before the Council to voice their opinions on City problems. Attorney DeWitt Higgs, representing Mr. Frank Ferreira, owner of the property in question, reviewed the history of the property since owned by Mr. Ferreira. Speaking in favor of the rezoning, he submitted proposed plans for development of the property if it is rezoned. He asked that the Council re- cess for five minutes while opponents of the rezoning look at the plans. Mayor Anderson recessed the meeting for five minutes at 7:25. The meeting was reconvened at 7:33. Mr. Leslie Rice, 138 Moss Street, stated he has no objections to the planned development but feared great traffic congestion on Alpine if Moss Street is closed. He suggested negotiating with the San Diego Country Club for property over which Moss Street could be rerouted. Mrs. Richard Sizemore spoke in opposition to the closing of Moss Street. Mrs. Martin Jorgensen expressed concern over what set-backs would be allowed on the property. It was her opinion that a very serious blind corner could be created at Alpine and Naples if set-backs were not adequate. No others wishing to be heard either for or against the rezoning and the Clerk having received no written communications, the Mayor declared the hearing closed. The recommendations of the Planning Commission were read to the Council. It was moved by Councilman McAllister, seconded by Councilmam McMains, and carried that the City Attorney be directed to prepare the necessary resolution giving notice of public hearing on intention to vacate Moss Street and to prepare the necessary ordinance for rezoning the property to R-3-D for presentation to the Council after the street vacation proceedings have been completed.
