Radkey, 1208 West 22nd Street, who also owns houses at 1206 and 1208 West 22nd Street, declared that this property is primarily residential and has been for many years; that statistics show that the enrollment of students at the University is on the deline and therefore the need for housing is not so great; that there has been no substantial change in the character of the neighborhood since a similar zoning change was denied on the property at 1909 Cliff Street about a year ago; that there are a number of old-time residents who bought property there because it was residential, many of whom are University professors who need a quiet place for study. : Mrs. Donald Stevens declared that this area is predominantly single family dwellings and if changed to 3-1 Residence there is only one vacant lot that could adapt itself to apartment use, the remaining buildings would have to be temporary structures in a residential area; that she is vitally against the change and sees no need for the entire neighborhood to be sacrificed for this one house; and that the people immediately concerned in the area and surrounding it on the west and the north are against the change. G. M. Howell and a number of other property owners opposed the change, declaring that the property is eight or nine blocks from the University and there is no transportation for the students going back and forth, and from this standpoint the change is not practicable.
