Commercial to Medium to High Density Residential at approximately 300 East 7`I' North.
Stephen Zollinger spoke for the applicant. The parcel was identified on the map.
Tawnya said Bryce Dorion owns the property on the Commissioners map. In order to
prevent spot zoning, the City asked Bryce to coordinate with the neighbors to bring them all
in on this comprehensive plan map change. The water tower creates the buffer between the
Medium Density Residential and the Commercial zones to the West. The infrastructure is in
place. We have the capacity. Some upsizing of the infrastructure may be needed. Staff
recommends approval based on this will not negatively impact the City to develop in this
area.

Favor: None

cautious with more traffic from 7`h N onto 2nd East. He recommends a plan at this
intersection. The intersection is becoming increasingly dangerous.

Stephen Zollinger responded. The City is well aware of the traffic issues on this expanded
intersection since relocating Wal-Mart. Multiple conversations have been happening
between ITD and the City. They are working on redesigning an intersection that would
resolve the railroad intersection that has created some problems. A cut across at a
different section is being determined.
