The Commissioners pointed out that the proposed lots would only contain approximately 2800 sq. ft. and 3600 sq. ft. res- pectively. Under these circumstances each lot would become far below minimum standards of 5000 and 6000 sq. ft. lots. On the premise that approval would deny any future basis for density control, and would tend to lower values of the neighbor- hood, A MOTION WAS MADE BY SCHRYER AND SECONDED BY LILES TO RECOMMEND DENIAL.

It was pointed out that R-1, R-2, and R-3, were all acceptable in C-3 according to the code. However the R-49 being the most logical choice, was omitted. It was felt that this discrepancy was a mere oversight which ac curred-.when the code was revised several years back.
