He submitted a Minor Plat of the property to the Coniission4 There was no opposition present and after discussion, Mr. Thornton made a motion that the petition be recc4mended for approval. Dr. Miles seconded the motion and all voted aye. The next item was to consider approval of a Preliminary Plat of Town East Estates. Mr. Oo Lo Rainey, owner of the property was present, and stated that he wanted to develop the subdivision which provides for the extension of East Houston Street to 34th N.E. between Lamar Avenue and Robin Road. A memorandum from the Director of Public Works dated May 5, 1975 was sub- mitted stating the plat conformed to the subdivision Ordinance except for the depth of the proposed lots. A 100 foot minimum is required by the Zoning Ordinance but due to the shape and size of the property, 10 of the 18 lots would have a depth of 8605 feet. Mr. Rainey presented arguments that the property could be developed with shallow lots and offered guarantees that the proposed houses would be comparable to those existing in the arei:- There was a large audience present and Mr. 14ebb Board spoke for them opposing the plat due to the shallow lots and the possibility that the de=velopment of the subdivision would devalue adjacent property. The discussion pointed out that if the Coinission approved the plat, they would in effect be approving a lot depth less than the Zoning Ordinance required. This can only be done by the Board of Adjustment and Dr. Gilmore moved to deny the plat due to substandard let depth. Mr. Staples seconded the motion and all voted aye. Mr. Rainey was informed that he could make an appeal to the Board of Adjustment on this matter and should they approve the variance, the plat would be reconsidered. With no further business appearing the meeting was adjourned. e No McCallum ecretary, Ex-Officio
