the City's plan contain 5400 square feet, some will have a frontage of
less than 60' in width and will require Council's approval on frontage
exemption. Alderman Thompson stated he would like clarification that
there is an obligation on the City's part to provide the Developer with
a certain number of lots, and the City Planning Officer explained that
before the exchange took place, the Applicant's solicitor wrote to the
City laying out a number of conditions for the exchange and one of those
items was the number of lots, although the number was not mentioned
specifically, and he stated that it was his understanding that the City
was quite prepared to accept those conditions. Alderman Thompson stated
his understanding that the Council was not obligated to support the
proposed subdivision, and Mr. Spani advised he was satisfied with the
subdivision layout of 53 Tots as prepared by the City's Planning Department.

to Application R#17/75 to subdivide a 4.0 acre parcel of land presently
: zoned RS~1 (One-Family Residential), legally described as the Rem. C,

: SWx, Plan 5114, bounded by Victoria Drive, Lynwood Avenue, Coast Meridian
Road, and Chelsea Avenue, into lots not smaller than 5,000 square feet

in size and 50 feet in width. The Committee, in its report, advised

that by reducing the size and width, the number of lots may be increased
to 36 or 37, or a density of 9.0 + units per acre, and that both the
Planning Officer and City Engineer have repeatedly expressed concern
about the continuing use of Land Use Contracts to effect subdivision;
however, the proposed development is based ou the assumption that: zoning

amendments to RS-1 as presently being reviewed will become reality

whereby the Land Use Contract can be later on cancelled when zoning

amendments are adopted.
