2. The REstrictive~ Covenants being enforced by the citY
The traffic saturation with the existing multiple dwellings

people took pride in their property, and that when duplexes
were allowed it~ tended to draw lower income people who
don't care about the appearance.
5. The present property where duPlexes are located has not
been kept uP by the developer.
6. There are motor. Cycles using the vacant lots
7. The access into Heights subdivision is limited to three
different streets.
8. The traffic problem would increase with additional duplexes
9. The area is presently saturated with multiple dwellings
10. Heights is an area where there are empty lots to be developed
as compared with the other subdivision where they are none.
11. More multiple dwellings affect the property value
Attorney Winmill explained to the people present that in the future
if the zoning was changed to R-1 and they wanted to build an
apartment in the basement for their parents, etc. it would not
be allowed.
The current ordinance would not allow any more 4-plexes even
if the zoning wasn't changed; and that the existing multiple
dwellings would remain as they are. Also if there is an excess
of 10% of duPlexes that no more would be allowed. He explained
that class II produCtion buildings would be allowed in R-2.
