The P&Z Commission is a recommending body and will make a recommendation to the City

Judy Hobbs, Realty Quest, 117 West Main, applicant representative. The request is to change the
zoning from Low Density Residential 3 (LDR3) to Mixed Use 2 (MU2). She wanted to say how
appreciative they are of the super job city staff does in helping them be well prepared to make good
presentations and keeping them on track, and making the application process move along smoothly.
The city has a tremendous staff that makes it so much easier for an orderly process.
The subject property was shown on the overhead screen.
The Comprehensive Plan was changed to Neighborhood Commercial/Mixed Use about a month
ago for these properties
The former Barrick home (135 South 2"d East) has been purchased by 2M Holdings. They own the
property just north all the way to 1s` South, which is currently under development for dormitory
housing. The home at 135 South 2"d East is intended to be used for the manager's quarters.
There are no specific plans for the Herdd property at this time. It3,is not part of the dormitory
housing development. It is simply a property that Mx. Herdtt w'ted'to sell and 2M Holdings agreed
to purchase.
Their request is to rezone the two specified properties to th4,{,Sa
2M Holdings property on the north. 11:1 '

Hello Elaine,
I will not be able to attend the Planning and Zoning meeting this Thursday where a request to rezone the
Barrick and Herdti properties will be discussed but I do have a comment that I hope you will forward to the
Commission.
Since this request includes property that boarders residential property and Harvard Ave. and is a request by
the same owners of other property recently rezoned that boarders on Harvard it seems reasonable that the
same restrictions are applied to the Barrick and Herdt! properties as were applied to the Anderson properties
I hope you can include a copy of the original restrictions with this comment
Thankyou,
Ralph M. Kern

Rebuttal:
Judy Hobbs declined the opportunity for rebuttal.
Chairman Walker closed the public input portion of the hearing.
Steve Oakey arrived at 7:14 pm.
Compliance Officer Powell showed the site plan of the property to the north next to the subject
properties. The extra added properties from this rezone request would allow for the parking to
extend. The fife truck would have crash bar to get on to Harvard Ave. in an emergency, as there is
no exiting onto Harvard from that project pet the Conditional U,'�ii0exmit that was issued for the
project. An ambulance would have to do a 200 -foot backup,,,,,,,#h the extra added property, it would
allow an additional aisle for the ambulance to be able to e i4cly. There still would be the 30 -
foot landscaping buffer between the residential propert'es1;rid the;coxgex project.

Chairman Walker ask#,oro �ia4ce Officer Powell to explain the preliminary plat process.
Compliance Officer P% 1ll4uicated that a preliminary plat is the preliminary map of a proposed
subdivision. ?� "
A subdivision, per the Development Code, is "... the division of any lot, tract, or parcel of land into
3 or more parts for the purpose of transfer of ownership or development and the dedication of a
public street and the addition to...".
A Preliminary Plat does not have a public hearing as part of its process, but it would go to the City
Council for final approval with a recommendation from the P&Z Commission.
A final plat would eventually move forward with the same process after the preliminary plat has
been approved.
Kurt Roland added that the ITD will most likely require a turn lane here for safety and would also
probably require a center turn lane.
Compliance Officer Powell clarified that the zoning of the property is MDR1.
Mr. Roland has met with staff. Several concerns listed in the Public Works staff review and the P&Z
staff review have been resolved.
There would need to be a 20 -foot setback from the right-of-way line to the building itself.
Aspen Drive would be built to city standards. It will be dedicated to the city and the city will
maintain it.
The applicant will continue to work with staff until all issues arp,#'aOressed as this plat progresses to
the final plat.
Steve Oakey wondered about the possibility of the developer maim ning the road.
Kurt Roland said the plan is for this road to eventuallgftie into the srt gntial addition south of the
church.
The applicant has written permission from the pcel owners to put the road in through their
property. "1:1,lq}
Steve Oakey said developing the private road couldi3hg great development opportunities.
