foot minimum lots. ) The first hearing was held
on August 18 , 1986 and was continued to this date.

seconded. Motion carried. Dr. John Spear,

adjoins this parcel and noted that at the hearing
on August 18, one Councilmember made a general
recommendation to keep the interim R-1 -20 zoning
for this area. Spear favored this as a logical
transition and buffer since the property to the
south is R-1 -9. 6 and since the other properties
will almost certainly not be developed.
Harris noted that the Hearing Examiner ' s recom-
mendation was R-1 -9 . 6 and that the interim R-1 -20
simply keeps the land in a holding pattern as far
as zoning is concerned, at 20, 000 sq. ft. Gary Coy,

stated that considerable thought had gone into
