Commissioner Stevens indicated that although agreeing with the elimination of special uses, he was not com- fortable with the idea of entirely throwing out the po- tential for having planned residential developments in the R-1 District. He also indicated that since most of the lot sizes in the R-1 District were not large enough to meet the R-1 lot size requirements for duplexes, he felt that the elimination of this special use was not accom- plishing all that much. Commissioner Wendler also agreed that there is a need to allow planned residential developments by some means in the R-1 District.
