Plan Amemdment: 1300 McKnight Road (Bulk Service Corporation) Secretary Olson read the notice of public hearing. The proposal is to change the Comprehensive Plan from Rm to BW. Chairman Axdahl asked if there was anyone present who wished to comment 3 -7 -83 on this proposal. No one was present. Chairman Axdahl closed the public hearing. Commissioner Fischer moved the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council approval of the resolution approving a plan amendment from RM, Residential Medium Density to BW, Business Warehouse for Bulk Service Corporation's property abutting the Beaver Lake Estates Mobile Home Park. Also, the Commission recommends the acreage chart on page 19 -3 of the Land Use Plan be amended to reflect the proposed 9.4 acreage change from RM, Residential Medium Density to BW, Business Warehouse use for the Beaver Lake Neighborhood. Commissioner Hejny seconded Ayes -- Commissioners Axdahl, Barrett, Ellefson, Fischer, Hejny, Pellish, Prew, Whitcomb. B. Plan Amendment: Maryland Avenue and Lakewood Drive (Shortridge) Secretary Olson read the notice of public hearing. The proposal is to amend the Comprehensive Plan from SC to RM. The Commission discussed with Secretary Olson and Director of Public Works Haider the proposed alignment of McKnight Road. Mr. Haider also explained the design along with proposed intersection locations. Existing McKnight Road would stay in place to serve the properties. It may be cul -de- saced. Chairman Axdahl asked if there was anyone present who wished to comment on the proposal. Vern Potter, McKnight Road, questioned why Bulk Service could not go under the bridge as the rest of the property. Why should they obtain a service off the new roadway? Director Haider indicated definite access has not yet been established. Mr. Potter did not think the property should be rezoned until the time the roadway is going to be constructed and know exactly what alignment it will have. Gerald Bruzik, 1250 N. McKnight, said his property is proposed to be zoned two different categories. He questioned where a road would be installed to get to a portion of the property. Staff indicated if there is not a local roadway, it would be up to the property owner to decide where the roadway should go. It could also be a private driveway to serve a multiple development. Mr. Bruzik indicated he did not think the property would be worth any- thing unless it would be serviced by a roadway. He,therefore, did not wish to have the property rezoned. He thought any zone change should wait until after a decision is made on the exact location of McKnight Road and how their property will be serviced. 2 3 -7 -83 Gary Pearson, Beaver Lake Estates, said they are in support of the idea of a convenience store in the area. He asked what the setbacks would be for the building. Staff indicated that the Community Design Review Board reviews the site plan and makes recommendations on the setbacks. Mr. Pearson said if the use would be other than a convenience store, he wished to have the zoning remain as it is. John Johnson, 2335 E. Maryland Avenue, opposed to the zone change. His property would also have two different zoning districts. He did spend money in the process to get the property zoned R -1. The zoning should be left as is south of the McKnight Road realignment. McKnight could serve as a buffer to multiple development on the north. If necessary, he would again go to court to maintain the R -1 zoning. Secretary Olson indicated that Russ Niezgocki, owner of property in the rezone area, said he was in favor of the R -2 zoning. Chairman Axdahl closed the public hearing. The Planning Commission informed the people present at the meeting at this time they are just talking about one small area along McKnight Road alignment. The proposal at this time is for a Plan amendment, not the zone change. Commissioner Pellish moved the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council approval of the resolution amending the Land Use Plan from RM, Residential Medium Density to LSC, Limited Service Commercial for the property lying northeast of the intersection of Maryland Avenue and the McKnight Road realignment. Also the Commission recommends approval of the resolution amending the Land Use Plan designation from SC, Service Commercial to RM, Residential Medium Density, for the property lying northwest of the intersection of Maryland Avenue and the McKnight Road realignment. Commissioner Ellefson seconded Some of the Commissioners said they could not vote in favor of this proposed amendment because the exact location of the McKnight Road realignment is not decided on .

Jeff Jarpe, representing Hillcrest Development, said they did not, the rezoning to single family was appropriate for the property because of the location of the property (overlooking Highway 36 and the water tower adjacent to it).

They also considered just downzoning that portion of the property which lies south of Cope Avenue. Commissioner Whitcomb moved the Planning Commission recommend approval__ of a zone change resolution to rezone the property located_at_the_sok.th- east corner of German and Cope to R -1 as it would be in conformance aith the Land Use Plan and table action on the zone change for the properly located north of Cope Avenuee, adjacent to Germa� n for a period of 6 months to allow the owner to make an alternative proposal for the property.

The Planning Commission, at that time, recommended approval of the zone change. He did have the required signatures for the petition for zone change. He is in favor of the zone change. Virginia Fishback, 2022 English Street, questioned how this would affect her property. Staff explained what types of uses would be permitted under the residential zoning district. 2 4 -4 -83 Ms. Fishback indicated she would not mind construction of single dwellings on the property, but not duplexes. Mr. Nuebel said he did not request a double dwelling. He asked for a single - family dwelling. He felt the R -2 zoning would be better than business commercial.

They will have protection measures for the water resource and erosion control included in the purchase agreements. He is requesting approval of the proposed plat. He is not in favor of the proposed trail. Several of the surrounding property owners requested park property be provided for this plat.
