Citv Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 5. 1968. 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Dutton questioned the Council's action, and noted pos-
sible litigation, due to the fact that in each instance Councilman Schutte
voted before the vote became tied.
Councilman Dutton thereupon read excerpts from papers prepared for
the City Attorney, Division of tl1e League of California -Cities, as duplicated
for each Councilman, covering briefly the following:
1. Paper presented by Robert Costello, City Attorney of Redwood
City, on "An Analysis of Conflict of Interest - Statutes Adopted by the 1963
Legislature," relative to a non-contractual matter, wherein prosecution may
result under certain sections of the Government Code and Penal Code.
2. "Ethics in Public Life," statements of former President Herbert
Hoover.
3. Synopsis of specific cases where participation was ruled a
conflict of interest, and where participation was required.
4. Description of "Personal Interest," as contained in the Palo
Alto-Code.
Councilman Dutton advised that in reading the contents of the pa-
pers submitted, in his opinion, Councilman Schutte's participation in sub.
ject zoning case was misconduct in office. He further stated that he would
have preferred to have the case referred back to the City Planning Commis-
sion, in that the City Council operated on a basis different from that of
the City Planning Commission.
Discussion was held, and Mr. Geisler noted that in none of the
papers presented is there legislation on a specific case law on disqualifi-
cation, except as it refers to contracts. Further, should the action be
contested, proof that the action was contrary to the public interest would
be required. He noted that the action taken by the City Council was as
recommended. by the'City Planning Commission, and in his opinion, it could
be defended as legal.
Councilman Dutton felt there should be an amendment to the Charter,
to clarify this point, or an ordinance enacted setting forth clearly when
a conflict of interest exists and does not exist.
Councilman Dutton further reported onv::"r:ious statements permitted
by Coun,~:t:'_nlen,. w::. th complete immunity, and. 'felt that rather than making
d~ging insinuations about a fellow Councilman, if it were felt certain con-
ditions were facts they should be referred to the District Attorney.
Councilman Clark concurred with the recommendation than an ordin-
ance be enacted to clarify this situation beyond any doubt, so that there
would never be e recurrence of a similar incident.

Dutton, public hearing was scheduled on the proposed'r'D~' .June 18, 1968,

KYrION CARRIED.
JITNEY BUS SERVICES: Council consideration of proposals and requests for permits
to operate jitney services continued to this date to allow Council review
of projected routes, fares and other pertinent data:
a. Taylor School Bus Service (Continued from April 2 and April
16, 1968.)
b. Yellow Cab Company (Continued from April 2 and April l6, 1968.)
c. Valen Parking Management Company (Continued from April 23, 1968.)
d. Anaheim Jitney Systems, Inc. (Continued from March 19 and
April 16, 1968.)
Councilman Clark briefed the Council on meetings he. and the City
Manager held with each of the applicants, stating that he felt that estab-
lished jitney routes should be continued and that the permit should be
granted to someone who could guarantee their continuance. Further, Council-
man Clark felt that the Valen proposal for a luxury night club tour should
be considered by the Council, as this proposed service would not be in com~
petition with the existing jitney routes, but would complement them. He
suggested the City of Anaheim and Anaheim Chamber of Commerce publicnze
jitney routes and schedules in newspapers and at stops around the City,
similar to the practice followed successfully by the City of Ing1ewood.
With the aid of a map posted on the east wall of the Council
Chamber, City Manager, Keith Murdoch, outlined presently established Rapid
Transit District bus routes, including the Flyer Service route to begin
June 16, 1968; and the three Anaheim Jitney Systems ro~tes, two of which
are presently in operation. Rapid Transit District routes were shown to
offer one-half hour interval service; jitney routes, one hour interval ser-
vice.
Mayor Pebley invited representatives from each company submitt~ng
proposals to .address the City Council.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA RAPID TRANSIT DISTRICT: At Councilman Clark's request,
Mr. Howard Beardsley, Superintendent of Southern California Rapid Transit
District Planning Department, first briefed the City Council on the new
Flyer service beginning June 16, 1968, for which the company purchased a
fleet of air conditioned buses which will offer non-stop service from Los
Angeles via the Santa Ana Freeway to Buena Park, Knott's Berry Farm, Stanton,
Anaheim, Anaheim Convention Center and Disneyland; then continue via the
Santa Ana Freeway south to Santa Ana. He noted the service would be in
operation seven days per week, 8:00 A.M. to Midnight, and would augment
service presently provided by Line 58.
Mr. Beardsley distributed maps and timetables to members of the
City Council, and pointed out the connecting features provided for patrons
coming from outside the area. He called the .Counci1's attention to a bro-
chure from the City of Inglewood containing route and s'chedule information,
and strongly recommended consideration of this idea for the City of Anaheim.
In answer to Councilman Schutte's question, Mr. Beardsley stated
that six buses would be in the Flyer operation, and a total of 18 or 19
would be used to service this area.

City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTBS - June 11. 1968. 1:30 P.M.
TAYLOR SCHOOL BUS SERVICE: Mr. Ernest Rose, representing Taylor School Bus
Service, briefly outlined the experience and qualifications which would en-
able them to provide efficient service. His proposal was to operate two-
story buses, in view of the planned International Theme for the downtoWn
area.
In answer to questions from the City Council and City Manager, Mr.
Rose indicated operations would be along whatever routes and with as much
equipment necessary for a successful operation, and that twenty buses would
be available from London as soon as they could be converted to a left-hand
drive. These b~a~ would not be air conditioned.
~~..
'1
In conclusion, Mr. Rose stated their proposed service would not
conflict with Rapid Transit District service as the routes would be differ-
ent. Further, they would operate on a fixed schedule, rather than an un-
scheduled basis.
YJLLDW CAB COMPANY: Mr. Ed Slagle, representing Yellow Cab Company, proposed
operating a Jitney service over three routes, as yet unspecified, utilizing
transit type bus equipmen~. He did not feel that there was a neBu for two
jitney systems in the City. In answer to Council questions, Mr. Slagle re-
plied that specific routes were best adopted after a short period of opera-
tion, but the routes they would establish would basically serve the same
area as the present routes. He .felt that sollie of the runs could be operated
at a profit, but doubted whether the downtown run would ever show a p~flt.
V~~NG MANAGBHENT COMPANY: Mr. Mike Valen, of Valen Parking Manage-
ment.. . any, outlined the proposal of the Town Tour Company to provide a
tour service which would not be designed as a transit system for local resi-
dents, but rather as a tour service for hotel and motel guests who want to
visit entertainment and dining establishments. He felt that this service
would not be in competition with a local transit system.
Mr. Va1en distributed a fact sheet to the members of the City Coun-
cil and briefly outlined the major points. The equipment, which could also
be used in charter operations to Anaheim Stadium and Convention Center, were
described as deluxe minibus units. Features included tape music systems, air
conditioning, and carpeting. Pictures of the inside of the buses were dis-
played, as well as renderings of the exteriors.
l
In answer to Council queries, Mr. Va1en indicated tours would be
scheduled mainly during evening hours, 6:00 P.M. to 2:30 A.M., at eventual
lO-minute intervals. Charge would be $1.00 for a ticket book, with no extra
charge for reboarding after stops. The service would start with two buses,
and increased as needed. He outlined two proposed routes, and explained that
the bus would not stop to pick up people along the prescribed routes; it
would only carry subscribers to the tour.
To Mr. Lee Vaughan, operator of Brook Restaurant, 1233 South Brook-
hurst, Mr. Valen replied that service could be extended to outlying areas if
the need existed, and the service contracted accordingly.
Mr. Dardeen, President of Minibus Company, addressed the Council,
calling attention to the fact that tour services such as the one proposed by
Mr. Valen are currently operating in Los Angeles, California, St. Louis, Mis-
~~~~~~.and that the Tanner Gray Line Company has offered this service in many ~
Mr. Dennis Menke, Attorney, representing Va1en Parking Management
Company, spoke in favor of the proposal, advising that the equipment has been
ordered, and should be available July 5th for operation by July 15, 1968.
Councilman Dutton requested an opinion from the City Attorney on
the question of what types of transportation operations would require a per-
mit from the City.

City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES.- June 11. 1968. 1:30 P.M.
, City Attorney, Joseph Geisler, advised that any vehicle for hire
is covered under either the transportation ordinance. or. the taxi cab ordi-
nance; that when the contract service is with a passenger it is a convey-
ance and a service to the public and would require a permit. He further
advised that a hotel offering transportation to guests as a service at no
charge, or a company contracting with hotels only would not be a transpor-
tation service to the pub,lic, it would be a transportation service to the
hotel.
ANAHEIM JITNEY SYSTEMS. INCORPORATED: Mr. Harry Knisely, representing
Anaheim Jitney Systems, advised that the issue before the City Council was
the granting of a permanent permit for the system currently in service.
He gave a brief history of the. operation and indicated that the company
is now showing a profit, even though the downtown route is operating at a
loss, and it was their intention to expand routes and service as the demand
is apparent. He noted further that their operation presently serves the
Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm areas, the only routes at the present
time showing a profit.
Mr. Tom Jaeger, Anaheim Jitney Systems, described the routes and'
timetables of the three lines currently in operation. Mr. Jaeger and Mr.
Knisely both expressed opposition to the night tour proposal on the basis
that the existing service can be expanded to meet the demand as it arises;
that the jitney operates four vehicles and one'back-up bus daily until mld-
nigpt. Mr. Knisely questioned the need for the service proposed by Mr.
Va1en, as the Yellow Cab operates twenty-four hours daily.
In answer to Councilman Schutte, the City Attorney advised that
according to City ordinance, fares must be approved by the City Council at.
the time a franchise or permit is granted and cannot be changed without
Council permission.
Following Council discussion of rates, Mayor Pebley asked if the
same routes operating at present would be followed or if they would be ex-
panded should the City Council gra~t an additional one-year temporary per-
mit. Mr. Knisely responded that it was his understanding that a temporary
permit is granted for purposes of experimenting with routes and rates, and
a permanent permit would cover particular routes. and rates. He stated that
the company wants to expand, and such expansion is within the present frame-
work. He questioned whether a one-year extension would be sufficient time.
Councilman Dutton wished to have additional time before granting
a permanent franchise to further study the report in order to determine
whether these routes were meeting the existing demand.
In answer to Councilman Clark, following Council discussion, Mr.
Jaeger replied that posting schedules at regular stops along the routes
would help the operation tremendously, and that if the City would provide
the signs, he would post them himself. He felt that the 50~ rate currently
in effect should not be raised and stated that increased validation by mer-
chants would .be advantageous. He stated that additional support in this
respect would be preferable to a subsidy.
MOTION: At the conclusion of the discussion, Councilman Krein moved that
the temporary permit be extended for one year from July 1, 1968, under the
same terms and conditions, seconded by Councilman Dutton. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Dutton asked if there was an dissatisfaction expressed
by the public since jitney operations resumed, and was advised by the City
Manager that there were none but minor ones from users of the cancelled
route; that generally service was described as good.
Councilman Clark suggested that the Rapid Transit District sched-
ules also be posted, particularly in the area previously served by a jitney
route.
Councilman Clark moved that the City accept the Night Club Tour
as outlined by Mr. Va1en. Councilman Schutte seconded the motion.

Compan,~ to install a trailer at 2535 West Lincoln Avenue, for security rea-
sons, to be used by a gardener who will also act as a security guard was de-
nied, pursuant to recommendation of Development Services Division, on motion
by Councilman Krein, seconded by Councilman Schutte. MOTION CARRIED.
REQUEST - OUTDOOR FLOWER SALES: Request by Federal Sign and Signal Corporation,
for petmissioQ. to establish a "Thot'fu11 Stop Flowers" Kiosk on the parking
lot of the Ba1l/Brookhurst Shopping Center, for display andse'le'.o.f. flowers was
submitted.
Report of the Development Services Department was read by the City
Clerk, recommending denial of said request.
Mayor Pebley asked if anyone present would like to address the City
Council.
Mr. Roger Leach, Vice President, Thot'full Stop Flowers, displayed
a model of the Kiosk which he proposed to install, and gave a brief background
of his company and its operation. He explained that the low. overhead allowed
lower costs for flowers and plants to the public, and that such a service is
not now available in that shopping center; he also felt that the colorful dis-
play would be an asset to the parking area.
In the ensuing Council discussion, it was pointed out that such an
operation is in conflict with existing zoning ordinances.
Zoning Supervisor, Ronald Thompson, indicated that similar opera-
tions in the Disneyland Hotel complex were approved on the basis that it was
a part of the complex and not out on the parking area.
In light of the foregoing discussion, the matter was referred to
the Planning staff for their recommendation to the City Planning Commission
and Council, relative to an amendment to the existing ordinance regulating
this activity.

PUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSIFICATION NO. 67-68-64. VARIANCE NO. 1960. (TENTATIVE
TRACT NO. 6607. REVISION NO. 1): Submitted by Richard W. Henning, requesting a
change in zone from R-A to R-3 and waiver of :;_aximum building and structural
height limitations. Property located on north side of Lincoln Avenue, east
of Rio Vi~ta Street.
l
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC68-129,
recommended approval of said reclassification in part, recommending R-3
for the westerly 324 feet and the 30 x 382 foot strip north of the shopping
center, the balance to R-l, subject to the following conditions:
1. That a Final Tract Map of subject property be approved ~y the
City Council and recorded in the office of the Orange County Recorder.
2. That the owner of subject property shall pay to the City of
Anaheim the sum of $25.00 per dwelling unit for the R-3 zoned portion only,
to be used for park and recreation purposes, said amount to be paid at the
time the Building Permit is issued.
3. That trash storage areas shall be provided in accordance with
approved plans on file with the office of the Director of Public Works,
prior to final building and zoning inspections.
The City Planning Commission recommended said variance for denial,
pursuant to Resolution No. PC68-130.
Zoning Supervisor, Ronald Thompson, called attention to p'u.Jlic
hearing on General Plan Amendment No. 97 on the Council Agenda June l8,
'1968. He noted the location of subject property, the existing uses and
zoning in the immediate area, and briefed the evidence submitted to and
considered by the City Planning Commission in arriving at a judgment on
subject property.
I
He explained the purpose of the proposed General Plan Amendment
was to review the City's statement of land use policy and ~>~termine whether
there has been a change in the character of land use in the area under con-
sideration, specifically as related to multiple-family density development
in one portion. The multip1e-familj' area report considered by the City
Planning Commission concluded that rather than cluster large concentrations
of multiple-family uses in a r,,;~a~:'.\;:,',y few areas of the City, it would be
preferable to disperse multiple-family land uses throughout the City at
locations and in concentrations which would not adversely affect the charac-
ter of each particular area. Various proposed General Plan Amendments con-
sidered by the City Planning Commission as depicted in Exhibits A, B, C,
D, E and F, posted on the Council wall, were described for Council infor-
mation.
Mr. Thompson reported that two additional applications concern-
ing property located to the north and west of subject property had been
received by the City Planning Commission since public hearing was held;
one requesting R-2, 5,000 zoning on approximately 20 acres, (Dinkler), and
another requesting R-l zoning with variable lot sizes from 6,000 square
feet, (Wingert.)
r
\ .
"
P~ans submitted by petitioner for development of subject property
were briefly described, followed by alternate layouts prepared by the Plann-
ing Staff, which were felt to be closer to the intent of the City Planning
Commission.
Mr. Thompson reported that the City Planning Commission felt the
alternate layout in Exhibit "D" would reflect the best possible development
of the area, providing 11 acres of R-3 surrounding the shopping center,
transitioning to R-l single-family, and therefore recommended approval of
ExhiD:~t ,ID" pertaining to the General Plan, and approval of the westerly
324 feet of subject property for R-3 development and the remainder for R-l
development.
Mayor Pebley asked if the applicant wished to address the City
Council.
68-322
City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 11. 1968. 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Joe Furr, 20522 East Chapman Avenue, in Orange County, represent-
ing Bayport Development Company, addressed the Council, advising that their
original desire was to develop the property entirely as an R-3 development,
as preferred by the lenders involved. He pointed out that revisions to the
plans had been made at the request of the City Planning Commission to better
protect adjoining single-family residences, although this was not the first
preference of the developer. Mr. Furr stated that the firm's developments n
have not been a detrUpent to any area in which they have heen built, and I
showed photographs in illustration. He felt the project had been ~ut down ..
as far as was financially feasible, but would be acceptable if approv~d.
In answer to Councilman Schutte's question, Mr. Furr stated that
R-2, 5,000 zoning for the entire parcel would be unacceptable, as most of
the financing was committed for an R-3 project.
Mayor Pebley asked if anyone else wished to speak.
Mr. William S. Phelps, 914 East Katella Avenue, asked if the ex-
hibits used by the Zoning Supervisor accurately depicted the proposed develop-
ment plan submitted to the City Planning Commission, for which approval was
recommended; and was advised by Mr. Thompson that they were precisely the
same, providing for two.story R-3 graduating down to single-story, with R-2,
5,000 around the perimeter.
Mr. Phelps explained plans of development as file was reviewed by
the Clty Council.
Following Council discussion, Mayor Pebley asked if anyone w~shed
to speak in opposition.
Mr. James Geriak, 2913 Hempstead Road, expressed the opinion that
the Ci~y P1annin6 Commission recommendation was not a realistic reflection
of their actual thinking, in view of a motion by Mr. Farano at the previous
meeting to deny subject reclassification, and since Mr. Farano was not pres-
ent at the meeting in which the final vote took p1ac~, Mr. Geriak felt the
City Planning Commission recommendation did not reflect the majority of the
CoDllli.ssion.
n
Mr. Geriak called attention to a petition with 250 signatures sub-
mitted in opposition to 'any change in zoning or any General Plan Amendment
which would affect the property under consideration. He showed slides of
several homes in the vicinity of subject property and stated that only homes
of equally high quality would be compatible with the area already developed;
that either R-1 or R-2, 5,000 would be appropriate, but any other type of
zoning would change the character of the neighborhood. Additional slides of
the nearby shopping center were shown, and Mr. Geriak pointed out the large
buffer zone provided by an alley and a presently unused E~~tion of the park-
ing area, which he felt would protect abutting development of a single-family
residential nature. He expressed opposition to any amendment to the General
Plan in that area, feeling it would be unfair to those in the existing single-
family development, (many of whom have large fa~ilies with several small chil-
dren,) to allow even one street of multiple-family development, since it would
substantially affect both the traffic pattern and the nature of the residential
area, (permanent vs. transient). He also felt that when an annexation of the
area took place, the home owners were influenced by the existing General Plan;
that to amend it at this time would be in violation of good faith.
Mayor Pebley asked if the group represented by Mr. Geriak would ap-
prove of R-2, 5,000, even though development under such zoning could lower
property values, to which Mr. Geriak replied that he felt that the point was
well taken, and he would hope that should the City Council deny subject re-
quest for R-3 zoning, the developers would take this into consideration and
act according1y~ as in addition to zoning, quality of development must be
considered.
n
68-323
City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 11. 1968. l:30 P.M~
n
In answer to Councilman Schutte's question whether approval of
plans could be tied to a reclassification, the City Attorney advised that
it could be done if the plans were presented by the developer as a part
of the action; but expressed doubt as to whether standards of quality could
effectively be enforced above that which is' set forth in the Building Code
and other codes.
Councilman Dutton pointed out to Mr. Geriak that although the
shopping center is small now, future development would bring more business,
making R-1 development on the adjacent property undesirable. To this Mr.
Geriak replied that he felt high quality R-2, 5,000 with 2~000 square foot
houses would be more appropriate and compatible with the neighborhood, and
again stated his opposition to R-3.
Councilman Dutton explained the problem that the City Council
faces in providing a broad range of housing; that there is currently a
shortage of multi-family residences and it is the responsibility of the
Council to bring this back into balance. He felt that R-3 development,
when buffere4, is proper.
Mr. Geriak replied that there was a shortage of R-l developments,
and this is one of the last close-in areas that could be deve~oped with
high quality R-I.
Councilman Clark stated that since the land to the west will be
developed as R-I, and the land to the north as R-2, 5,000, he saw no reason
why the property in question should not stay in the same cate~ory.
r
Council discussion followed, and Councilman Schutte favored ap-
proval of R-2,5, ':; development for the entire property, as the cost of
the land would assure high quality development.
Mayor Pebley askec. if anyone else wished to speak in opposition.
Mrs. Ann Nealy, 502 Stehly Street, (south of subject property,
across Lincoln Avenue,) expressed opposition to two-story ~onstrut~tion on
Lots 1, l6 and 17 of the proposed development on the grounds of ' visual in-
trusion.
Mr. William E. Heiner, 227 South Kingsley Drive, spoke in oppo-
sition to R-2, 5,000 development, stating that he favored standard R-l zon-
ing for the subject property. Councilmen Schutte and Dutton pointed out
that R-l developments on high-value property such as this were difficult to
sell.
Mr. Heiner advised that quality single-family Jomes:'were needed
to attract executives into Anaheim.
Following Council discussion, Mr. Devore, 235 South Kingsley Drive,
also registered opposition to any mode of development other than R-l, and
stated, in his opinion, the existing high quality homes to the east had made
subject property valuable.
r
f
\
Mayor Pebley, being of the opinion that a good cross section of
evidence had been presented, invited the applicant to speak in rebuttal to
the objections stated.
Mr. Joseph Ercek, 520 North Citron, representing the applicant,
pointed out that the economic welfare of the owner of subjecf property should
be considered, and that the environment of the area has changed in view of
the four-lane, heavi1y~travelled thoroughfare which would make the property
unsuitable forR-l development. He felt R-3 zoning, with an R-2, 5,000 buf-
fer zone, would be the most appropriate zoning. He pointed out the diffi-
culty experienced by the developer of the adjacent homes to the east in sell-
ing these homes when they were completed. He further reported that a physi-
cal inspection of the homes to the east would find them to be anything but
the "executive type." In his opinion, the value of the existing homes would
be raised by the proposed development, and thereupon asked on behalf of the
applicant that R-3 and R-2, 5,000 zoning be approved, as recommended by the
68-324
City Hall. ADaheim. ;California- OOUNCIL:MlNmES'. June 11...1968. 'l:-30,P~K.
City Planning Commission.
Mr. Furr again addressed the Council" stating that.<~t\e sybject
property was much more suitable to R-3 development than tbeproperty to the
north, due to the fact that Lincoln Avenue was such a heavily-travelled
street. He felt that the property could be developed in a manner that would
not be detrimental to Other property in the area, and if necessary, the plan l
could be changed to allow better traffic circulation. He pOinted-out that
there is a demand fnr good housing on lots smaller than those in a-I;' 07 . 2Co : .
square feet zones. He felt that R-3 development surrounding the shopping
center was the best plan.
Mr. Dick Henning, 2861 East Lincoln Avenue~ owner of subject pro-
perty, addressed the Council. He pointed out that when the residential
property to the east was developed, his entire acreage waE:ZO_.:: , ":::,",, (Cour,,..y),
and that he cooperated with the developer of that property by granting neces-
saryeasements to serve 'the tract., He explained that his 0l'igina1 desire
was to develop his property as a sports center, which was also objected to.
He described' the'adjacent resident:f"a.l propetty'ashaving j:~C) _~ieJ,tiD,g qn", "
desirable boundaries; and felt that opposition'to his proposed development
on a third 'boundary was 1.lnfair~ in view"of the demonstrated acceptance of
tbe existing undesirable features. He pointed out that he aad borne the
expense of paving Rio Vista Street from Lincoln Avenue to La Palma Avenue
and granted all necessary easements' for street widening, ,and had annexed
his:propettyto the City 'two years before the residential property tC);the
east 'was annexed ~ : " ,
Councilman Schutte asked'Mr.' Henning if he felt he would apply
for an R-2, 5,000 zoning on the entire parcel should the Council deny sub-
ject request without prejudice. Mr. Henning replied that he was not sure;
tbat he had not been offered a comparable price forhisproperty,f.or th.at
type of development. '
There being no further evidence submitted,:Mayer Pebley 'declared
tbe hearing closed.
RISOLUTION: Councilman Schutte offered a resolution denying Recla~sifica-
tionNo. 67-68-64 without prejudice.
Council discussion followed" wlthCouncilman "Duteon_,pointing,out '
that Council policy relating to zoning upon, anneXation of County property
has been to establish City zoning as ':'>:;~(~':'/, as possible to County zoning;
that R-3 zoning is a lesser use than the C-1 zoning which existed on sub-
ject property until 1963; therefore, in his opinion, the request for R-3
zoning with R-2, 5,000 as a buffer to the adjoining R-1 property is a logi-
cal request.
