<br />Campbell presented the staff report which pointed out that this area will ultimately
<br />develop as a multiple residential area. Mr. John Blayney of Livingston and Blayney
<br />stated that since this entire area was designated for RG-15 on the General Plan, it
<br />really didn't matter whether the Commission rezoned this parcel individually now,
<br />or waited for more of the area to develop in this manner later on. Mr. Campbell
<br />also read a letter of protest from Lavern and Edmond Wallace which stated that their
<br />gardens and the tours of the Garden Club and Women's Club would be affected by an
<br />apartment building next to their property. Mr. Wayne Allison was present in the
<br />audience and stated that he felt this request was logical and did not feel an apart-
<br />ment building would be detrimental to the gardens belonging to the Wallace property.
