<br /> (e) Zoning Petition Z 80-14 Petition of t~e City Planning Commission~
<br />
<br /> Frederick J. Baule, 4100 Tarnywood Drive, representing Mer~ifield Civic Club, presented
<br />the following statement:
<br />
<br /> "Churchland residents have stood before this council, the previous City Council, and the
<br />Planning Commission numerous times in the past 12 months to oppose further development of den~
<br />housing projects and apartment complexes in Churchland.
<br />
<br /> On two of these occasions, we presented petitions. Many Churchland residents attended
<br />these hearings and the comprehensive plan hearings in support of these views and to make
<br />indicidual statements.
<br />
<br /> This opposition to apartment projects repeatedly pointed out the problems with over-
<br />crowded schools, dense traffic, and inadequate roads.
<br />
<br /> The Moffler Creek site in North Churchland you are considering for rezoning tonight
<br />has been the centerpiece of this opposition. The use of this site for apartments or group
<br />housing projects not only adds to the probiems just mentioned, but has a dramatic adverse
<br />affect on the existing Merrifields community as the only access to this site requires first
<br />
<br />agenda,
<br />
