Prc�posed multiple dwelling - 1�4 unit. Ryan-Lake Properties.
Member Brc�mschwig read the follokiing Zoning Committee report:
"This request is for multiple dwelling zoning. It is one of the fe*� remaining
pareels of land in Belmont Addition - a large residential pl�.t f iled in 1915.
There are single family residenees on three sides of the parcel. Granting of
this ap�lication would destroy a possible extensior_ of Plymouth Avenue to
Douglas Drive. Tha pattern in this area appears to be that these �Q-ft, lots
are developing into 100 foot lots for fine sin�le family homes. It is therefore
the opinion of the Committee that this parcel of land should be developed as
residential and the requpst for multiple zoning be denied." No action was taken
by the Commission becausE of no representation by the applicant.
