The area is zoned Residential - 2 and it is perfectly within approved zoning to build several duplexes on these lots. The proposal for four four-plexes would leave more grassed area for lawn and landscaping than the construction of duplexes. Councilman Romriell said he had studied the zoning ordinance and the area would allow only seven duplexes and at'kthe most 5 four plexes.
