Mr. Hannon said he noticed the setbacks have been shown from the original property line, not from the new lot line. He said the new lot line is 10 feet back from the original property line; the 30 foot and 35 foot build- ing lines are just 20 foot and 25 foot.

Mr. Hannon said this survey is over a year old and was made by someone else. He said it has no monuments listed. Mr. Washington said they would be happy to re- vise the statement because they have since done a new survey. He said he would request the Commission approve this plat subject to the corrections; he said a new survey is required for the loan closing.

Mr. stembridge said TESCO requested an easement on Mr. McKool's lot, but there is an existing building there and already has electrical ser- vice to the building, so he does not feel they should have to add an additional easement behind the 7-ll store. ps 82-59 APPROVED Mr. Wood made the motion to approve PS 82-59 subject to the Engineer's comments.

Mr. Tucker said they researched the Planned Development portion of this property and there was a statement made that the private street be made into a 50 foot wide public street. He asked if they were aware of this. Mr. Bentel said that was amended and as to the size of the street, they designed their plans around it. The Chairman asked Ms. Calvert if this were true. .

He said they are to close on the property the day after the December l3th City Council meeting. Mr. Bentel said Mr. Riddle did not want a public street. He said there is already a traffic jam. Mr. Bentel said there is no way of changing their plans at this late date, but they will work with the City any way they can. Ms. Calvert said she felt they worked with the City staff in good faith, trying to go with the plans the Planned Development had. Mr. Hannon asked if he had a site plan. Mr. Bentel showed his site plan to the Com- mission. Mr. Bentel said Mr. Riddle did not want Thousand Oaks to continue, he does not feel it is neces- sary for the public street since the mall has been built. .

This property is located at the northeast corner of Rufe Snow Drive and Chapman Road. . Delbert Stembridge, Consulting Engineer, came forward to represent both the owner and the purchaser of this property. He said they have a sale pending subject to getting the zoning. Mr. Stembridge said they did not want to spend a lot of money, not knowing if they could get the zoning. Mr. Stembridge said since the developers were not Single Family developers, he suggested they ask for Local Retail zoning and then if they wanted to downgrade later, they could come back for another zoning change. Mr. Tucker said the Commission is in the process of writing a new zoning ordinance, which is in the second drafting. He said they hope by March, or earlier, they will have the final approval by the City Council. Mr. Tucker said this new zoning ordinance departs somewhat from the old ordinance. He said Mr. Stembridge's clients might not want to pick a zoning now. Mr. Tucker said he felt it only fair to let you know about this. .

The Chairman opened the public hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. Jay Bruner, Henry s. Miller Company, came forward.

There being no one wishing to speak, the Chairman closed the public hearing. Mr. Hannon said he understood their problem, but the Commission must be shown the need for a zoning and he does not feel they have done that. Mr. Wood said he feels it needs to be zoned something. He said Rufe Snow is developing all the way down and this property will be developed pretty quick. Mr. Wood said there is mainly Local Retail in this area. He said he did not feel this property could be developed successfully as Single Family and feels that Local Retail is a good zoning for this property. Mr. Bowen said Mr. Wood has a good point, but he would have to agree with Mr. Hannon that the Commission needs to see if Local Retail is the appropriate zoning for this property. · Mr. stembridge said they are not sure at this time just how much land they will need for Local Retail and how much they will need for Multi-Family. · November 18, 1982 P & Z Minutes Page Nine Mr. Tucker said 33 acres is a large amount for Local Retail zoning so the Commission feels they are asking the Commission to speculate. He said if the developer plans to split it up, they would do better if they requested a planned Development zoning. Mr. Stembridge asked the Commission to look at it from the purchaser's viewpoint, would they want to spend all that money not knowing if they could get the zoning. Ms. Nash asked what was the rush. Mr. Stembridge said they have a contract pending the zoning. Councilman Richard Davis came forward. He said there was a statement made in error. He said with the present zoning ordinance, you would not have to come in to down zone. · PS 82-29 DENIED Mr. Bowen made the motion to deny PZ 82-29.
