On Tuesday, October 11, 1988 at 7:00 P.M. at Dunn Elementary School, a neigh-
borhood meeting was held on the 403 S. Whitcomb PUD. In attendance at this
meeting was Steve McGinnis, property owner/developer and Sherry Albertson -
Clark, Project Planner for the City Planning Department. Six resi-
dents/property owners attended the meeting.
The meeting began with an introduction by Sherry Albertson -Clark to the
purpose of the meeting and an overview of the planning review process. Mr.
McGinnis then provided an overview of the proposed project, after which,
questions and comments on the proposed project were addressed.
The following summarizes the questions asked and responses given by the
developer and his representatives and/or staff, as well as comments made by
the residents.
Question : If one business goes into a residential area, could others also go in?
What would happen to the property values?
Response: Staff replied that this is a concern and that the introduction of one
commercial use could cause pressure for future conversions to non-residential
uses. This area is identified on the West Side Neighborhood Plan to remain in
residential use. Many factors play a role in determining property values.
Question : How is parking being handled? Would two spaces be enough?
Response: Applicant responded that two would be adequate, based on his
anticipated number of customers at any one time.
Comment: Parking is a concern to area residents and there is no enforcement
on the alley between Mulberry and Magnolia.
Question: Are apartments inspected to determine the number of people living
in them?
Response: Staff replied that this type of inspection would only occur with a
written complaint.
Comment: View this business as having minimal impact. Think area will
eventually become commercial. Would be concerned if there would be any
outside display of collectibles or antiques.
Comment: If businesses go in, will eventually have to sell home. Then there
wouldn't be any incentive to maintain property.
Comment: Long-time residents concerned regarding change of use in the area.
Response: Mr. McGinnis replied that the proposed addition would be sided
with the same material to match the existing house.
uestion: Why are the units in the 300 block of Whitcomb habitable?

Response: Staff replied that didn't know and wasn't familiar with that
particular area.
Comment: Thinks business would be okay, an improvement for the area.
Comment: Concerned about valuation of property, conversion of home to
commercial. Hopes this is not a foothold for bigger businesses to come into
the area. Likes the neighborhood.
The meeting adjourned at 7:45 P.M.
