That although there were no protests to the requested change of zone there would be numerous problems such as dedicating and improving a private easement for a public street, widening an existing street and providing larger water mains for the necessary fire protection. SECTION 2. That the subject property is in a subdivi- . sion approved and completed within the past year and laid out as single-family lots; that no exceptional or extraordinary circum- stances were shown applicable to the property; that there is still much undeveloped R-2 and R-3 property within the City and it Qoes not appear that public necessity, convenience, general welfare or good zoning practice justify the requested zone change, but rath- er that the request is premature and not in the interest of good planning. -2- 327 . . . .' . .
