Show 6 Thursday, March THE GREEN SHEET 31, 1988 'nilUliiHTt I I Iiriun ItCVVO wvmiviUHl CofC Seeking Planning Flexibility the Transmission Repair Shop, Restaurant Are Approved WEST VALLEY. A transmission repair shop, a restaurant and rezoning of almost two acres along 4700 South were among items approved by the Planning Commission here Thursday. The rezoning, sought by First Security Mortgage, will see 1.6 acres at 4850 W. 4700 South changed from residential to commercial. The general area, according to the planning staff, presents a mix of uses but the intersection of 4800 West and 4700 South presents a general commercial image, especially if plans for the northeast corner are completed as per a previous conditional use. In another zoning matter, the commission rejected a request to home construction in allow 6 the area of 5100 W. 4625 South. R-l-- Perry Homes, Inc., sought the change to allow construction of homes on smaller lots than the commission, and some 60 nearby residents, want to see developed in the West Valley area. The decision was a tough one with for the commissioners several expressing agreement with arguments on both sides of sworn-ithe issue. Newly Shellie Pearson commissioner sided with Commissioner Barbara Thomas in saying that lot size is important. Too small a lot size forces people to look outside the area for another home and does not allow for activities. n family-oriente- d Chairman Tom Commission Pearce agreed, but expressed the opinion that people today are looking for larger homes. The larger lot size requirements being mean imposed on developers, smaller homes, he said. Carroll Elford Commissioner told his fellow commissioners he was torn on the issue. While there is a need for smaller lots in some cases, older people dont want large homes because they dont need them. The final vote on the request commissioners five showed against allowing the 6,000 square foot lots and two in favor, denying the request to rezone the area from agricultural to In conditional use matters, the commission approved a request for a new Hardees restaurant on a pad site in the Plaza 4700 project, 4000 W. 4650 South. The commission also approved a transmission repair shop, Atons Transmission, 3521 So. 1950 West. In subdivision matters, the commission approved the final plat plans for Garden Cove, 3850 So. 6300 West, but continued indefinitely a request from the LDS Church for preliminary plat approval for some property at South. The 3900 W. 2925 continuance will allow the church and commission staff to find answers to some outstanding for about plans questions property. R-l-- 6. "Where a nick, or scratch con save you money."

"For example, there are buildings South 3500 which, along realistically speaking, landscaping is impossible.
