Re-zoning Decision Case WZ~70-7 Applicant had requested a change from R-2 and A-1 to R-3A to build doubles and multiple units at Simms Street and Swadley Street just south of Interstate 70. Motion by Alderman Howard "I move we deny WZ-70-7 the requested change from R-2 and A-1 to R-3A to build two-family dwellings and multiple units. Five property owners in the area spoke in opposition and the only one for it was the owner. He wants to put doubles on the area that is now R-2--it should be re-platted for five doubles not seven. We don't need twenty-three multiple units for a buffer zone. Doubles are a good buffer zone. Also, there is a traffic problem which n8eds to be corrected before any rezoning which would increase the density can be considered." Motion was seconded by Ald- erman Donaldson and passed 3-2 to deny the re-zoning with Aldermen Pepe and Bowling voting "nay." Case WZ-70-10 Applicant Donald Keim requested a change from R-1A to R-C1 at 32 Avenue and Wright Court for a professional office building. Case was presented by the applicant.
