Right now they plan on keeping the present stuctures. There would be no great demand for parking since one of the offices (Red Hill) would be used for the applicant (2 employees) and the other site (San Juan) would be used to a civil engineer and landscape architect. Mr. Hoesterey questioned Mr. Kincannon in reference to the ingress and egress, is there any way you could alleviate some of the problems? Mr. Kincannon responded that there is only 12 1/2 feet on each side and the only way that could be accomplished was if the house is demolished. Tried to do the best he could with the existing house. Mr. Kincannon reiterated that they hope to tear the old homes down in 3 to 5 years and change the zone and redevelop the properties. Mrs. Kennedy questioned if the applicant could do the project on San Juan and not the one on Red Hill? Mr. Kincannon stated that he had no objections to splitting the projects. One does not depend on the other aesthetically but financially they do. The public hearing was closed at 3:24 p.m. Mr. Edgar stated that he felt an obligation to permit a pace of development that does not take millionaires to support. One of the directions that he sees is to take an existing structure in a zoned area that is properly zoned and to permit a change. The key is the fact that they are not making a new structure but converting an old structure and letting the City know it. Moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy to approve San Juan site with the stipulation that the applicant work with Staff to make the optimum development without deleting the structure.
