A number of neighbors appeared to express opposition to the
proposed duplex. Councilman Trautmann indicated that the
neighbors had a petition opposing the approval of the duplex.
The petition, with 26 signatures, opposed the duplex because
they felt the duplex would be out of character with the neigh-
borhood. The neighbors went on to say that they thought the
area only allowed single family dwellings. Other neighbors
indicated that there were a number of 4-plexes in the area,
and that because of this more apartments should not be added
to the area. Other neighbors indicated that thcy felt the
Commission should deny the request because the number of
neighbors against the proposal was greater than the number of
people in favor of it.
Mr. Rowan indicated that he had no intention to change the
character of the neighborhood, and that his proposed duplex
would fit into the neighborhood. After all people present
had an opportunity to be heard on the matter, Acting Chairman
Murphy closed the Public Hearing at 8:13 P.M.
Moved by Commissioner Simacek, seconded by Commissioner Anderson
to recommend denial of the special use permit due to the neigh--
borhood opposition, and that although the proposal met all set-
back and lot size requirements of the zoning ordinance, that
the ratio of lot sizes per unit was out of character with the
single family lot sizes in the~rea. 4 Ayes, Stevens, Bultman
Naye.
The Planning Commission went on to discuss the circumstances
under which special use permits could be approved or denied.
Moved by Commissioner Stevens, seconded by Commissioner
