Commission Lindsey inquired about the staff recommendation including the Thorpe property as Low Density Residential and would it start from behind the Molinaro property. Mr. Harris said it would start behind the Molinaro property. He further indicated it is fairly hard to general plan areas without streets and there has been no planning for streets in this area and doesn't know, at this time, how much sense it makes to have collectors at that location. Commissioner Doherty asked if any consideration was given to using Oakland Avenue extension including swinging to the Arroyo and using that as a divider for Low Density Residential to the east and Medium Density Residential to the west. Mr. Harris indicated they hadn't talked about the boundaries being the extension of Oakland Avenue. Commissioner Doherty indicated he has been sensitive to that area and that it should be Low Density Residential and believes at least one or two of the residents would like to keep it that way. He said Kamp and Molinaro want it to be Medium Density Residential at the expense of losing some of the large lot spots left in the City. Commissioner Wilson indicated that in his experience he has had Low Density Residential lots against industrial or High Density Resi- dential and they don't sell well. He said the Kamp property is giving an opportunity to build some good high density in front and screen off the balance. He indicated it appears Molinaro is gradually working down to Low Density Residential and he really thinks that is good planning. Economically it doesn't work to put one-half or one acre lots across the street from High Density Residential. Commissioner Doherty said he is sensitive to buyers of one-half/ one acre lots with High Density Residential District across the street. Discussion then was redirected to case GP-81-9. Mr. Harris stated the staff is satisfied with the Thorpe and eastern boundary of the Molinaro and Kamp property being Low Density Residential. He said the DeVor and Busch properties could go either way and there is no great reason for distinguishing between those properties. Commissioner Doherty said he is concerned with the DeVor property and the impact on it if the owners later wished to expand their facility. He said he wouldn't want to do anything negative with regard to this business. Mr. Harris stated the property is already zoned A (Agricultural) and this designation is in conformance with Medium and Low Density Residential. The public hearing was opened. Gil Barbee, Land Surveyor, 147 Bernal, presented his map and what he would suggest for the land use designation of the subject properties. He said many people on the north side of Mohr Avenue are his clients. He said most of his clients want Low Density Residential and that Molinaro wants Medium Density Residential and that Thorpe would -3- ...._~_... _ ... . ... ......... _.. _,.___.r.___„_ . ,_ ,.... .. _.. ,.. .__... _,_. _...._, r_._ .
