Item I

Re; Rezoning’ Application R#18-72, South Pacifie RS-2 to RS-1,

Comments: The Committee oriefly discussed the application and agreed

that the zoning change as recommended by the Planning and
Zoning Committee was acceptable in principle. Several members of the
Committee were of the opinion that the presentation in total was being
accepted without further input. It was pointed out that access to the
study area, engineering, and new possible preplanning: are being looked
at but staff is reluctant to deal in depth with any zoning application
until there is an indication of approval of the use. It was agreed
that this Committee should comment on the final proposed package prior
to any final zoning hearings.

Recommendation: The Committee agrees with the Planning and Zoning
recommendation of approval to public hearing subject
to the Environmental Sub-Committee input prior to final readings.

division. It was further recommended a letter be sent to all property
