McKnight stated that they were requesting a total of 8 acres for the multi-family area , 32 acres in the single family (SF-3) area . The business area has a frontage on Elm Road of 60 ft . Gus Pappas noted that the property that is immediately to the north of this tract is zoned for SF-1 and while this property has not been developed and it is unrealistic to expect that the entire 159 acres would be built of SF-1 type homes , does the Commission feel they want to put SF-3 right next to what will most likely be SF-1 residences . After brief discussion , the concensus from the Commission was that the property to the north is not developed and there are no plans for development and therefore they cannot know what will be built on that tract , the tract before them tonight is being developed and they did not have a problem with the requested zoning .

In response to comments from the commission , Mr .
