There being no further comment, eithi for or against, the hearing was cJosed,
Member Adams commented that t~ose tots will be there for a long time, after the
h3use~ sre gone, er~d he felt it would be unfortunate to create such lots, that
wou!d be difficult to redevelop.
~ce~C~a~rman Stewart declared tbs property would make a fine R"3 development
sometime ~n the future, a:,qd creating a lot split at this time would depreciate
the value of the ~ot~. He is opposed to creat~ing two substandard lots
MSJC (S~ewart-Guyer) Var~a~c~ be ~enied for the following reasons:
No hardship was showq t~al would ]d~tify ~ lot split.
Th~ s!ngle-family home~ on this. p~rcel ~re obviously only interim-use,
u~tim~,~e~y, the best use for [h~ property, and the most likely use,
will1 be multiple-famiiy development.
3. That because th~ p~'c~: is ~n ~,n R-3 zone and the use on it is apparently
interim, there ~ppear to be no exceptional circumstances inw3lved.

Epgineer and has written flatters of ~pquiry to several large cities; to date the
response has been sparse w th, no reply coming as yet from the AlPO Advisory
Service. By totaJi:ng the irOividu~l requirements, the number of spaces that wouid
be required wouid be 7651 Fowever, ~ir~ce a'tt of the uses would not require parking

situation, he stst~d he ~d the Traffic Engineer checked parking in complexes
similar to [his oI~e ~t 9-~O ~,~m~, 3 p m~ and 5 P. m.. which they had determined

less than 50~ p~r unit, s~ i2 noon, they were the same, at 5 oJcJock the
siEu~tion became critic, at w~th the apartme,~ts running from 7~/ to 130~ on a 1
