Mr. and Mrs. Randolph Grohnke, 4617 W. 62nd Street, (second house from corner of 62nd and Concord) asked Planning Commission if something could not be done about the house on the corner directly west of them. They implied that, because of the side yard adjacent, which is only 5 feet, they have lost the use of their patio and the value of their house has depreciated. Mr. Hyde explained that this new house complies with all of the building ordinance and zoning require - meets and there was nothing that could be done about changing the side yard requirements now. He suggested civil action. D. Las Anderson's Highwood 2nd Addition was discussed in relation to park dedication. Mr. Hyde explained that the have had five cash donations for park purposes, all of them being about 5% of the assessed value, or purchase price, of the raw land. A $750 donation for park acquisition in the area was recommended as a more reason- able amount, based on previous five similar dedications. (When this plat was originally submitted and approved on April 14, 1958s. Council required $1450 as recommended by Planning Commission; however, Mr. Anderson requested a reduction because he felt this was out of line). On motion of Odell, seconded by Wilkinson and carried, Planning Commission recommends that Les Anderson be assessed $750 for park purposes. It is further recommended that in the matter of future park dedication, it be based on a per lot fee in order to be more equitable and Planning Commission asked that Park Board, Planning Director and Manager bring to the Planning Commission a recommendation for future park acquisition dedication.

This is to be brought back to the February meeting for consideration at that time. B. Lot Area Requirements per Dwelling Unit in Multiple Dwelling Ordinance. The schedule of lot area requirements as submitted by Mr. Swanson was discussed and Planning Commission agreed -that this was a more reasonable method of deter- mining densities and therefore, it was moved by Wilkinson, seconded by Lewis and carried to recommend to the Council that this amendment to the ordinance be sdopted4 In areas zoned for Multiple Residence District the following lot areas shall be required: (a) For a two family dwelling, 10,000 square feet of buildable lot area.

Fro Edw.ird C. Sto-w pointed out to Planning Conxaission his belief that the two story double dwelling being erected on the corner of hievelle Drive and Lynmar Lane appears to ;him to be a potential 4 -plea, at least.

He fur - the:!: stated that the `Tillage Hall cJas acme of the possibility and intended to keep this ;particular building, under suxveillance so that no violation of the building oxdinance -would be allowed.
