MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 26, 1986 PAGE 3 Rick Tresselt, 1741 Arona, commented on the lack of parking space during the State Fair, and felt the medical office would add to the problem. He was opposed to the medical office and was of the opinion that businesses in a residential area are not desirable. Baldwin read into the record letters from John Nichols, 1791 Arona, and Ralph Reichow, 1731 Arona, objecting to the business. Baldwin noted that Wayne Gladfelter had signed a statement indicating he did not oppose the medical office, but Betty Gladfelter indicated that her husband had changed his mind and she wanted to withdraw his letter of approval. There being no others wishing to be heard, Baldwin closed the hearing at 8:49 P•m Baldwin asked Council to express opinions on the matter to determine whether or not action should be taken on the conditional use at this time, or delay a decision if a moratorium is declared. Council sympathized with the Murrays, but were also concerned about the neighborhood, and basically opposed to a business in the residential district. Following the discussion Hard moved, seconded by Chenoweth, that the conditional use request be denied for the following reasons: 1) fear of precedent setting, 2) neighborhood is already in a high density traffic area. 3) intent of the Council historically has been to limit home occupations in R-1, 4) in accordance with Comprehensive Plan, and 5) there are commercially zoned offices available nearby. Motion carried unanimously. RESOLUTION R-86-8 ADOPTED DECLARING A MORATORIUM ON HOME OCCUPATIONS Following a short discussion Council concurred it was desirable to re-write the home occupation portion of the code, after which Hard moved, seconded by Ciernia, that Resolution R-86-8 be adopted declaring a moratorium on home occupations to allow time for review and revision of the code. Motion carried unanimously. RESOLUTION R-86-8 A RESOLUTION RELATING TO A MORATORIUM ON HOME OCCUPATIONS RESOLUTION R-86-9 RELATING TO INDEMNIFICATION OF CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES ADOPTED Ciernia moved, seconded by Baldwin, that Resolution R-86-9 be adopted as presented by the Attorney.
