to the vacation and t3ubsoquentlye Dr. Lyoa acquired all of the vacated Street
since he owned the lrznd on both sides.
Mr. Johnson asked tyho w-= as p,-c)p0sicjg the little neck of land that would
co-zinect Lot 11 to John Street. Mr. Hoisiligton said this was the neighbors proposal
which, ff-agreed upon, would be acceptable f:o t1ae staff.
Mr. Joh-,-xscn asKed wacther Mr. Stire would have to acquire the strip from
tr
he cUrent property owner and j4r. "II 'oisir4gton sail d it -was his uneerstanding, that
they (Dr. Lyon and 14 OIC011,10r) a�-
_c willing to deed access to Mr. Stire.
Mr. Lewis asked Mr. Hoisinotnti why he had w -ori -.ed with the neighbors to
WWI un with the alternate so!uti.on if lie thought Mir. S-faAre's proposal was better.
110
isingtor replied that if a mutually �oluagreewle s
L; - �.-1
-or. could be arrived at
between property 0;,Tvers U71-tich would result in tiva accessible lots, there would be
no need for Planning COMI-ilission and CG-uncil deliberation on the issue. We could
let the matter be handled Completely between properLy owners. I have nothing
a,-,ainst the alternate proposal if they reach sora agreement.

Air. Ful,',�,hes asked shy the neiLlabors are So concerned witch the narrower lots
facing Bl lore Lane. Mr. Fjoisil39t0r, stated that they are concerned that small
hot:zes will be built on the lots.
L Hughes asked if this b conLrollc:d and Mr. Hoisington said we have

widths of 73.25 feet: and than the i'lanring Conur"i s ion reserve the right to review
the house plans before a building permit is :issued. Ur. Hughes seconded the motion.
Dr. Ford stated that you ha -T`- the offer 0 access to Loi 31 from Dr. Lyon
and Mr. O'Connor. 1%.s .ir. Hoisington has said, this gives a solution to this
problem without redividing the lots. Or, the east of this property, Dr. Lyon has
a house which could sell for about $40,000. on the oti:eb side, Mr. O'Connor has a
nice house. When 1,1r. Sti're bought this property, he mold me that he expected to
build on the two lots hiraself. I think that would be an ideal sclutioR. This
property is excellent property – it is witiO n walking distance of the Lutheran
Church, it is Withir, WalkirkO r'_istailce of the Catholic School and Church and it is
wit' -in �,niking dist,;.rce of Blake School.. It wCuld be hard to find a property which
is more nicely located fro:.: this Standpoint so the hope ,,e have is that this
would go as one pieces of property. I have offered Mr. Stire an amount of money
equal to 1�,Th^.t he has out into the PrOP'rt.y as wc-11 as a"torney's fees in order to
keep U its property from :being divlcaed. lie ha-ve the signatures of 32 peoplein this
are:: who vere: opposed to the division of this property north and south. one
hundred per cent of the pearale in Uie neighborhood are ?apposed to the division of
these lots nowth and sops: i1 aDd we would like to see it ler",t as it is with the
opportunity of Use -?ling it it, Lwo pieces or se .1_0l, it r.s a one piece of property.
