Mr. Piwowar explained that he was requesting a zone change from R~lc to R-3 for two adjoining pieces of property which he owns at 527 Tipton. Mr. Piwowar stated that there is approximately 3 acres and that he owns all the land. He stated that it was his intention to build two, twelve unit ap~rtment buildings on the site. He explained that a l2-unit building was the maximum which could go on an R-3 zone, and that the building would be attract- ive. Commissioner Tralle questioned if there would be an overload on utilities. Rick Breezee stated that there was adequate facilities and also stated that Mr. Piwowar has three acres and 12 dens,jj"ty "uni ts are permitted per acre, so legally he could possibly go to 36 units. Mr. Piwowar stated that there would be possibly two sites with 12 units per build- ing. Commissioner Pearce asked Zack Johnson if he could give a recommendation. Zack Johnson explained if the land use map was Medium Residential, Mr. Piwowar could have these sites in the proposed area. Commissioner Pearce stated that he would be more interested in looking at this situ- ation as a whole instead of looking at an:c.area in particular. His concern was that something like this could snowball.
