Mr. Gjersee opposed the downzoning (RMH to R -3) because it would
have a devaluation effect on his land. The change is also
contrary to land use of the surrounding area.
Brad Collins, Director of Planning, said it is possible the
proposed plans for this property can be accommodated with the
R -3 zoning.

ITEM. MOTION CARRIED.
Ken Beyers, 6920 Heights Place SW, Seattle, said he is proposing
to put up an 8 -plex building. If the property is zoned R -3
he would be able to build two separate buildings. His plans have
been completed. To the south of his property is the new Boeing
Credit Union Building which is quite large.

ON FEBRUARY 16, 1982. MOTION CARRIED, WITH BAUCH VOTING NO.

was originally M -1. He would like to have reconsideration given
to the height limitation of 35 feet. To the north and south height
is allowed to be 115'. This is an unreal limitation. He would like
it considered on February 16, 1982.
