George Fenady, 602 North Cherokee, Los Angeles, also spoke to the zoning of these parcels.

This means that a single-family residence or multiple units are allowed, provided that the density of 2-4 units is not exceeded. In order to get a duplex, you have to have a 1/2 acre. In response to Mr. Fenady, Chairman Pena advised that in order to change the zoning, he would have to make an application for a General Plan Amendment and a change of Zone.

Peter Zelles, asked if the sewer assessment can be negotiated and Mr. Kiedrowski advised that to-date the City has not negotiated any sewer assessments, but the property owner could make such a counter-proposal to the right-of-way agent. He noted, however, that the cost of that assessment has not yet been determined. In response to Mrs. Turi, Ms. Honeywell responded that negotiations can take place up until you go to Court and at that time a Court will determine what the fair-market price is. Mary Frances Fenady, 126 N. Rossmore Ave., Los Angeles, advised that she did not recall ever receiving a notice on the rezoning of her property. She would like to have documentation as to when the property was rezoned and the kind of noticing that was done. It appears that the size of her lot after the right-of-way is taken, will only accommodate a single-family home. Ms. Honeywell advised that if they wish to continue negotiations1 they should do so immediately. PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED RESOLUTION NO.
