Stephen read the Notice of Public Hearing. John described the location and history of the property which is located on 1St North just east of 4th West. Kristine stated she would like to improve the property, it would be a slow build starting from the rear of the property with duplexes, eventually building on more, and at some point moving out the house at the front. She feels this would be a better management of the property. Davawn read the Petition signed by 47 citizens in opposition of the zone change. Davawn opened the public hearing. Kay Rasmussen - 33 8 W. 1St North. Kay lives adjacent to the property in question. He described the property as being deep but nano~T, the road coming out across the sidewalk would have to be one=way grid there are a lot of kids going up and down the sidewalk time and time again. He feels the traff c in that area would be a detriment. He is opposed to the zone change. Mabel Smith - 354 W. lst North If the zone change were to be approved she would end up being sandwiched in among apartment units. She explained the spot zoning this change would create in that block. There would be no roads, no place to plow snow; the garbage cans would have to be pushed 150` to the road, there is no way this could be cleaned out and be feasible. She requested that the City not lower their standards by re-zoning this property. Karl Hanosky - 330 W. 1St North He stated he was a real estate agent, has been in the area for 16 years, he encourages growth but feels this is the wronggrowth. This parcel of property is the same ~~idth as the one his home is located on and to imagine the plan presented being stuck in this area would be extremely crowded. This is a family neighborhood and the traffic increase would be too large for this area to accommodate. He feels the 47 signatures on the opposing petition should tell something. He is opposed to the zone change. Shauna Hill - 318 W. 1St North The thought of this zone change scares her, she constitutes the most children in the area which are always up and down the sidewalk on their bikes and playing. She worries about the • ~~ ~ children's safety because of all that would be going on with construction as well as the increased traffic in the area. She opposed the zone change. Dave Pearson - 150 N. 4t`' West He would not have a problem with a house, but apartments he does. It would create more traffic, there is just not enough room for what is proposed, including play room for children and .snow removal. Kristine stated she did not mean for any discomfort for the neighbors, it was her thought to improve the property. Public hearing was closed. The Board discussed this issue and for all intents and purposes this is a spot zone which has tried to be avoided, along with the strong feeling from the neighbors to keep it a single home neighborhood. Mike made a motion to disapprove the request for zone change. Motion was seconded by Bobbette. All vote aye, none opposed. RE: PUBLIC HEARING FOR HAROLD NIELSEN ZONE CHANGE FROM MDR TO HDR TOPIC: (500,268,,,PUBLIC HEARINGS,NIELSEN*HAROLD,ZONE CHANGES,M.D.R., H.D.R.,4TH WEST) Stephen read the Notice of Public Hearing.

Birch Plaza apartments were built partially under the .5 requirement and partially under .? requirement and have now found they have. inadequate parking. It has been fully reviewed but appears to meet all requirements, storm drainage needs to be carried out to the main storm drain located on 2nd West and set back needs to be reviewed along with the screening and green space requirement. This plan does bring them into better compliance with their parking needs. Van Elg made comments that the screening had not been totally determined but would probably be a chain link fence. Birch House is a constant problem with parking, cars park on the sidewalks and lawns, this parking plaza should help alleviate that problem and should also serve as an emergency access and lines up directly with the long building of Birch Plaza. This gives more parking than is necessary for this unit. The Sunbirds have a garden spot, since this plat was proposed they are very upset that this parking plaza would eliminate that. Van requested a little flexibility to adjust the plat, if necessary, to accommodate a little garden spot. Ted made a motion to approve this plat as drawn subject to City review, other departmental review and approval of fencing and landscaping. Raymond seconded motion. All voted aye, none opposed. RE: REQITEST FROM LDS CHURCH FOR AI~TNEEXATION TOPIC: (500,269,,,PUBLIC HEARINGS,ANNEXATIONS,LDS CHURCH,WATER & SEWER) John discussed that annexation at 1545 W. 1000 South has been discussed for some time, they are desirous of hooking onto the City water and sewer, the City has required that to hook on they be annexed. It has been reviewed and tax wise it means nothing, they are desirous to hook on and it will need to go before the City Council and they may try to work with them on a separate issue. Discussion on costs of hook-up, location of hook-up Imes, costs of infrastructure, maintenance and the possibility and procedure for annexation of the subdivision and a larger parcel of ground located in that area. Mike made a motion the City allow the LDS Church to go to public hearing for annexation and attached to that annexation at Planning & Zoning's request all the residential area to the north and the agricultural property to the west. Motion was seconded by John Watson. All voted aye, none opposed. s ~'~O RE: FINAL PLAT APPROVAL FOR KEITH NELLESEN TOPIC: (500,270,,,PLATS,APARTMENTS,PUBLIC HEARINGS,ZONE CHANGES, 1ST WEST,NELLESEN*KEITH,SITE PLANS) John showed the plat and the location of this property which is behind the old Broulims store. This project has been before Planning & Zoning previously and obtained approval. They are back with this project because they obtained an additional half acre to the east of their development and are planning to add additional units. The parking will now be contiguous to the City parking lot on Center St. This additional property will entail a zone change from CBD to HDR. Parking spaces have been designed under the .7 requirements. Ted Whyte declared a conflict of interest. Keith Nellesen explained there will be 52 units, 4 will be 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom designed for handicap access. They hope to retain the house located on the corner of the property as a residence for the manager to Live, this house has not been changed from an MDR zone. There was discussion on the flow of traffic, the possibility of tying this parking lot and the City parking lot together or the need for screening, and the good layout for the removal of snow John made a motion to approve the plat on the condition ofa zone change on the additional parcel of property, including the home. Motion was seconded by Bobbette. All vote aye, none opposed.

The building will be used in conjunction with the auto repair shop already located on this property.
