Mr. Kiczek, who lives across Columbia Road, maintains that after the original owner died subsequent owners have mainly been interested in making a profit from this house. He advised that one owner, Elaine Hall, had an engineering report on the property which whowed that the earth below the house was breaking away. He is concerned that if the existing trees are removed it will harm the adjacent Ojeman's property. Mr. Morgan again stated that the owners legally have the right to split the property, but the Engineering Department can make certain requirements prior to obtaining a building permit. J. Thomas moved to approve the proposal to subdivide permanent parcel number 237-30-5 into two (2) sublots located on the east side of Columbia Road, south of Cedar Point Road, the Gustafson Lot Split, with the recommen- dations that : 1) the Engineering Department do a search of the files on that property to determine whether an engineering report was filed with the city indicating any stress on that property under the home or any of the adjacent property where disturbances or where building could have an adverse_impact on that property or on adjacent property owners; 2) the Building Commissioner take special note of the property and the condition of the property if, in fact, after this lot split the property owner requests any kind of permits for building that the Building De- partment take special note of the enviornmental impact of building on the property and whether or not the property is capable of withstanding developments 3) we recommend that if there is any development proposed for the property that soil borings be done and that engineering studies be made on the drainage to determine whether ormot the property can support development; and 4) request that the Building Commissioner advise the Commission on an informal basis if any permit has been'-re- quested, seconded by R.

Mr, Skoulis, president of the Park West Home Owne.rs Association, advised the Commission that they are discussino a proposal to rezone land adjacent to their subdivison te this classifica- tion with the developer; and they beleive there should be some modifications to the ordinance.

He was.advised that the Planning Commission.must approve.both buffers and lighting and that residents'concerns are always taken into consideratiori.
