Chairman Johnson announced that this was the
first public hearing on the proposed new zoning
ordinance and declared the hearing open for discus-
sion. He invited comment from those present either
favorable or unfavorable.
Mr. Grainger Hyer stated that he is more or less
satisfied with the ordinance.
It was his opinion that any setback established
other than 5 ft, for the entire Channel Island
could not legajly be made to hold. This new
ordinance, he said, is a great improvement over
the old ordinance. It was laso his opinion that
persons whose property is affected by the changes
In zoning should be notified.
Miss Marguerite McCulloch stated that she would
like to have her Lot 15, Blk 26 on the Peninsula
zoned as R -2 and suggested an R -2 zone between "I"
and "J" Streets. If this done, she said she
planned to tear down the old store building on
her lot and erect a house in its place suitable for
one family. She said she had requested Mr. Coon,
the architect, to draw her a sketch of his suggest-
ion for improving this lot with two attractive
little houses. She has invested $8000 in this
lot and as it is now she cannot get anything out
of it. Miss McCulloch definitely stated her desire
to abandon the store and make a two family residence
to conform to the ordinance if this lot is zoned
R-2.
Two communications on the new ordinance were
read by the Secretary.
One letter from Jordon, Twist and Parker, re-
questing that Block "F", Tract 919 be zoned C-2
instead of C -1.
The other letter from Culp Realty Co. requested
a change in zoning of the easterly corner of the
Hudson in the vicinity of 32nd St. and Lafayette
from industrial to business to correspond with
the westerly corner.
Chairman Johnson suggested that these requests be
considered at the close of the second hearing
before final action on the new ordinance is taken.
There was no further discussion from the floor.
I Com. Findlay moved that the hearing be closed.
Seconded by Com. Allen.
