concerned about and that was the area west of the railroad that
was being rezoned from R-1 Single Family to R-2 Multiple Family.

R-1 zoning allows 37% lot coverage and R-2 allows 35% lot coverage.

the rezoning to the middle of the Railroad tracks could present a
problem but the sections in the Ordinance pertaining to the Railroad
could be eliminated on second-reading of the Ordinance. A new
Ordinance could then be drawn up with the correct wording.
Mr. Ken Mates: 15 Oakridge Lane, told Council he believed that
if the R-1 Zoning was changed to R-2 the traffic from Cypress Drive
