Peacedale ART—es. (See MJ " nutes of May 10, June 14, and July 5, 1961).
This _iequest had been tabled at the July 5th meeting pending a field trip
to the site which,it vlai rioted, was held earlier in the evening. Mr.
4 unit apartment plans were again revievied.
It wa_� nuted that the 82 foot width of the lot upon which the proposed
building was to be located would mnly permit the erection of a building
52 feet in width, because of side yard requirements and that this limited
w1dtb would necessitate two story coostzucbimo. Adjacent buildings were
ail single otmzy~ The 13r596 square foot lot area is �umewhat less than
the 14 `,000 square feet required by the Zoning Ordinance. It was generally
agreed that altbuo:b l*fa lucation was generally suitable for 4 unit
dewelopment�
its limited size and shape would not permit the erection of
a 6tzoutore possessing good design characteristics.
Nb. Odell moved that the Planning Ccuomissins recommend that the petition
for the rezoning fzmn Open De,velopnent to Multiple Residence District be
denied. After a second by Mr^ pmleyy, the motion carried unanimously.

puzely c,o tbn ur:osal lut size would not constitute good zoning
and in, that be setting a p-eoedeot. Mr.
Gziuvold uuggested tbat the area mitbin wblub the lot was located was
already molti-tamilied in oheractez and that some variety in housing
dansity eorj atyle might- be muze beneficial to both the community and
the neigbbmrhoo� than an all double bungalow development.
�z. Rite lndi:ated tkat War. 8ippe did not have a specific building plan
tm oubmilt and a�ggestod that if one .rvaze to be prepared that it give
cunsideration to the topography of the site. He said that the differ-
ence in elevation auzusa the width ofl-' the lot might be advantageously
unod foz a split level building thua eliminating excess building height
and spme variatiao in the front elevation.
��. �Vilikinsmn said that althuugh he had not viemed the property earlier
in the evening, it appeared that the proposal needed to be more detailed
befoze it could be considered by the Conmiissiun and suggested that Mr.
Gippa present at Ieal�.t a sketch of the building he proposed to erect.
��. �ilkioaun moved that the m;)t{,n be tabled which motion was seconded
by hIbc. Gzimaold and uarzied.

V -6l-3. ,
Rite presented Mr. Lomoot,a request for a two foot variance in re-
quired front yazd setback on his lot. The planned addition of a garage
to the nmztb side o� their home would project two feet in front of the
ho�ae t,� a puint 33 'fpmt ;:�auk from the street property line. The set-
back in tbeir blcc;k is 35 feet.
0a. Lamont's request ii$m necessitated because be wanted to get the attach-
--C ciazsge faz en:�ugb to the front of the house to avoid covering up a win -
On -the nurtb side of the bouae.
The Coonnianion noted that there -,�4as a considerable space between Mr.
Lamioo±"o bume and the next houoe to the north and that the requested pro-
jection would not in their opinion detract from the appearance of the
homes Jin the area.
