garding a couple of matters that have come -up.
A. 9143 EAST BENTEL AVENUE -
Carl Weir, of Equity Homes, representing Ann Devlin, owner of
9143 E. Bentel Avenue, R -2 zoned property, explained that Mrs.
Devlin had planned to add a residence on the property, however,
the time used for plans, escrows, financing, etc. overlapped the
adoption of the new zone ordinance and now the proposed develop-
ment does not meet the code requirements.
Attorney Hassenplug explained that Section 9121.14 of the Zone
Ordinance requires the filing of a plot plan in an R -2 zone for
additional development. If this development does not meet
code requirements the applicant could file for a variance.
After considerable discussion it was suggested that the applicant
file a plot plan in order to comply with the zone ordinance.
