Noting <br />that the proposed lots, if approved, would still leave the two <br />tracts substandard. Van Nest expressed his feelings that the <br />area of the two lots would suggest one building site rather than <br />two building sites md felt the City’s Zoning Code, when two adjoining <br />substandard lots ar§%3ld in single, separate ownership, was to <br />^i^oisider them as a single bldg site. As an exanple, a homestead <br />Cjmer having a substandard lot adjoining his home tract could not <br />sell it as a building site. Mr. Lantto reviewed the tax benefits <br />of the proposal and felt that the proposal would be compatible to <br />the present density of the neighboihood. The neig^ibors in atten­ <br />dance disagreed with this statement. Hake stated that his con­ <br />cern since the beginning was about vacating the alley, especially <br />QUENTIN JOHNSON, ETAL <br />353; IVY PLACE <br />ALLEY VACATION § <br />SUBDIVISION <br />^- - - -j
