This property is located on Rúfe Snow Drive between Shauna Drive and Victoria Ave., West of proposed Multiple Family. Mr. David Farrington - Farrington Associates We propose to develop IF-9 around the entire area. Riveria Drive would be open to Rufe Snow Drive, Oliver Dr. & Georgia Ave. would open into a new street. There would be town houses facing IF-9 One Family Dwellings. Local Retail would""'be set back from Rufe Snow so interior court would be focal point. This is a proposal; no firm buyers. Parking space does conform to ordinance. Mr. Mills asked, You are asking for zoning and if granted, the entire plan could change? Mr. Farrington agreed. . AGAINST - Mr. N.W. Clinger 6701 Victoria Mr. Clinger stated the petition included all but four people within 200 feet of said property. We are against this zoning, we feel it will 'down grade our property. If the local retail did go through, apartments could be built. Apartments are not needed. If all property zoned Multiple Family were developed the population could double. Also, we don't need more retail area. Richland Plaza is begging. We should patronize what we have rather than build more. Water is a problem * AMENDED . . . PZ 75-14 PZ 75-15 PZ 75-16 v. APPOINTMENT FOR COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 28 VI. OLD BUSINESS VI I ADJOURNMENT now, this would make it worse. There is a time limit for every thing.
