permit both to be subdivided. Should the neighbour to the
north not be agreeable, it is suggested they approach the
neighbour to the south to make a Joint approach to the City to
acquire a portion of the adjoining lane,

COMMENTS:

The Planning Committee in reviewing the alternatives for the
three properties along Oxford are recommending that the optimum
Solution would be for the owners to work together to a mutually
beneficial solution. To that end the Committee is recommending
that the owners be encouraged to exchange land among themselves
to create six RS=!1A !ots or four RS-1A lots on the two
souther!ty properties and in the future a duplex on the
northerly lot.

The basis for the solution being proposed is that al]! three
lots are slightly deficient in width to permit RS=-1A lots,
Permitting the center lot to be developed as a duplex, RT-1,
would timit the opportunity to exchange ltand for the other two
lots and possibly leave them as very large single family
residential lots. It is because of this problem and the
necessity for joint action the Planning Committee have
formulated the alternatives recommendation proposed,
