. � � Page 8 - City Plan Commission - 4-3-80 of Franklin Street is South Shores Park . Further to the west is �1'ildwood Golf Course and southwest is R-6 multi-family apartments . Immediately to the north and south of the tract are single fanily residences . However, because all of the lots in the Timari Addition are fronting on their own dead end street, none of the existinc houses are fronting any of these lots. I believe this further tends to isolate these vacant lots from the surrounding properties. Because the lots are large - over 9 , 000 square feet in area - they could lend themselves to quality large duplex structures that could be an asset to the neighbor- hood. Staff does not believe the duplex type unit or the R-5 zone has near the potential negative impact that R-6 Multiple Dwellina District zoning could have , as this area now can have six single family houses whereas the most the R-5 zone will permit with the existing lots is twelve units . If zoned R-6 , each lot would easily support six units for a total of thirty- six units. This type of impaction staff believes would not be supportive of the existing residential development in the area. with the average family size getting smaller, the increasing concern for energy conservation and costs, smaller cluster type housing units staff believes will be more prevalent than it has been in the past. In view of the above, staff recommends approval of the petition. It was moved and seconded (Woodward/Grossman) and carried to recommend Cal . T80-14 to the City Council for approval. Mr. Mayberry, Ns. Grossman, Mr. Woodward, Nls. Wilmeth, Mr . King , Mr. Batterham, Mr. Kaptain and Mr. Cusick voted aye; Mr. Martin voted no and Mr. Likins abstained.
