Raymond Abrahamson represented himself at a

perty owned by himself at 22$ N, Perndale Rd, Parcels
205» 3600, Section 36. Russell read the minutes of
the last Planning Commission mooting. Mr, Abrahamson
explained that ho originally asked for one assess
ment on the property and was given th'-ee. Mayor
Oberhauser explained the reason for . .e three
assessments was due to size of property. It was
deemed there was room for at least three building
sites; one the present home and two sites on North
Perndale. Mr. Abrahamson then showed plats of
the area explaining that his lot sizes as proposed
were equal in size to all lots in Hilloway except
one. Russell then defined the definition for low
lying land and asked how much of the land was too
low under that definition. Mr. Abrahamson said
there was some low land but that it was drained
by a ctilvert to the other side of North Perndale Rd.
PUBLIC HEARING
REZONING
Abrahamson
Mr. Russell asked if anybody wished to be heard.
Messers. Kramer, 245 N. Perndale Rd,; Wainwright,
107 Chevy Chase Dr,; Zaske, 115 Chevy Chase Dr.;
Arnoldy, 109 Chevy Chase Drive; Nelson, 113 Chevy
Chase Dr.; Jesse Meyers, 146 Chevy Chase Dr.;
Dr. and Mrs. Curry, 111 Chevy Chase Drive spoke in
opposition to the rezoning. Objections raised
were that 1/2 acre lots would not enhance the area,
would destroy property values, would result in
back-to-back housing and concern with a reduction
in lot sizes,as they had bought homes on the strength
that the area was zonedRI C and would remain that
way, Mrs. Curry was of the opinion that reducing
the size of the lots would have no economic advan
tage over larger lot sizes, taking into considera
tion the total property.
Mr. Abrahamson countered that, even with larger
lots, there coiiLd be back-to-back housing, that
his request for rozoning was no threat to safety,
welfare, health, and that he merely wished to
equate his lot sizes with the surrounding property,
Russell then read two letters voicing objection
to the rozoning.
Discussion was then held on holding lot sizes
near 3/4 acre, Russell informed members it had
to be zoned HI C ee J) I D and any other size would
have to be a variance. This was followed by a
discussion how the assessment would be spread if
the nine lots were allowed. It was then deter
mined that the average property value in Hilloway was 5^50,000.
Kullberg brought out that the original draft of
the division tdiich the Planning Commission at
a prior meeting did not act on since it was not
a legal preliminary plat, consisted of six lots
and the present plat as presented consisted of nine lots.
As Kobody else wished to be heard, Russell moved,
Gasch seconded, that the rezoning recoranendation
be denied. Pour ayes, Kullberg nay, Dorn abstaining.
Thp Ordinance Amendment to include a R 1 A 1 zone in
the zoning code, allowing study and research
centers in the Village, Mr. Harris, 130O N.W. Bank
Building, representing the Woodrill Conference
Center, explained there was no provision whatso
ever in cur zoning code for this typo of usage,
and the best legal method to provide for this
usage in our Ordinances was by amending the Ordinance
to make it a permitted use rather than a conditional.
Brought out in the discussion was that the land to
be included in the new zoning was 61 acres, that any
change in future usage would revert the property
back to R 1 A, that any additions to the property
woiAld have to bo rezoned from R 1 A to R 1 A 1 . In
the discussion on tax structure fo’* the property,
Mr. Harris said the intent waj nc ro'*rDurd»s -.he
Village and school for service rendered; also,
that the future tax structure was in the hands of
th^' upcoming legislature.
Dorn moved, Gasch seconded, that recommendation to
allow the amendment be made. Pour ayes, Nicholls
abstaining. Dongoske had departed.

The problems of prefab housing was informally dia-
cuaaed by members. A letter from Hil\.on Homes
regarding certification fees as well as an excerpt
from U.B.C. Magazine ^'Building Standards" was read
by Chairman Russell. Ihe Building Inspector
stated that under our present ordinances, the U.B.C*
adopted by reference, anything certixied by that
body would have to be allowed to be constructed in
the Village. Ho was of the opinion that the quality
of the two now certified by the U.B.C, do not como
up to others on the market, not certified.

in corporating special ordinances governing prefab
construction enacted by other Villages,
