36 City Attorney explained limitation would still be set at 11 lots, and could be done without subdividing, as Windsor Garden development. Mrs. Tyson, 839 Vista Drive, advised she had circulated the protesting petition and more signatures could have been obtained in protest if more time had been possible to obtain same, She protested rezoning as roads inadequate for further density. Harry Bontempi, 180 Atherwood, owner of property in the area, stated he had been instigator of the Vista Drive Annexation and protested change of zoning as had annexed with the idea single family dwellings would prevail. Alfred Dixon, 857 Vista Drive, advised he had attended public hearing of Planning Commission and no protest made at that time because of his limited information on concept of "P" Combining district. Because of the dangers implied by this type of zoning and after ascertaining from his neighbors their objections, protest petition had been submitted. Councilman Petersen moved to close the public hearing, seconded by Councilman Rosselli. Councilman Rosselli moved to deny the rezoning, seconded by Coun- cilman Henderson. Mr. Shawback, applicant for rezoning request, asked that he be allowed to appear before Council in his own behalf. At recommendation of City Attorney that Council re -open the public hearing, if Council desired to allow applicant to appear, Councilman Granger moved to re -open the public hearing, seconded by Councilman Bury and carried. Mr. Shawback, 828 Toyon Way, stated he had always wanted to build on top of the knoll on his property and had hoped to build a hacienda style development in townhouse aspect covering 11 lots, and asked that this matter be referred back to Planning Commission for further study if rezoning not granted. Councilman Petersen moved to close the public hearing, seconded by Councilman Rosselli and carried. Councilman Rosselli moved to deny the application for rezoning, seconded by Councilman Granger.

Councilman Henderson stated she opposed rezoning in order to retain quality residential zoning in the hillside areas. Motion carried.
