attached) .
Commissioner Bernards asked regarding the uses allowed in the R4 zoning district.
The Secretary stated that R4 uses (1 1/2 to 2 storey apartments) or R3 (Townhouses)
would be permitted in the R4 zoning district. Commissioner Malecki asked whether,
if any of the buildings were destroyed, could at-least three units be rebuilt on any
of the parcels in question. The Secretary responded in the affirmative.
Chairman Nelson asked the applicants whether they had anything to add. Mr. Jerry
Miller, a realtor representing the applicants, stated that the matter had been
covered well and that they had nothing further to add.
