Wicklund Request , Robbins Read - change from R21 to R15 Voted to recommend request be denied on motion made by Mr. Byrne, seconded by Mr. Baccaro. Reasons (1) would be in conflict with Town Plan which calls for a R21 Zone, (2) ledge in the area would cause difficulty in siting houses on smaller lots, and (3) although zoned R15 the Robbins Road frontage in this area is essentially a R21 zone. Rolling Meadows - Kensington Road - change from R21 to R15 Voted to recommend request be dcnicd on motion made by Mr. Baccaro, seconded by Mr. Byrne. Reasons (1) when this subdivision was first designed this area was changed from R43 to R21 and we believe there has been no change in conditions since that time to warrant a change in zoning, (2) adjoining lots are in R21 with some larger than R21requirements, and (3) Ri$ in this area is contrary to the Town Plan. 6. The Minutes of the March 14 Meeting were approved on motion made by Mr. Stiano, seconded by Mr. Baccaro. 7.
