i~[INUTES <br />PLANNING CONfiV~llSSION <br />JANUARY 10, 2002 <br />developed as single-family. He noted that there is only one duplex iu the <br />area. Kath did not feel townhomes were needed. <br />One resident of the area indicated that townhome development is ugly and <br />noted the development along Highway 36 and County Road B. The <br />resident also indicated Chat the development would cause light pollution. <br />Roycraft felt there were three issues of concern. 'T'he first is thaC the <br />proposal does not fit the City's Comprehensive Plan for the Area. The <br />second is that the City has no information from the Watershed on the <br />impact of this development, and the third are the safety issues that have <br />been raised. <br />The City Planner indicated that the Comp Plan designates the area for low- <br />density residential development, but does not indicate a specific zoning. <br />Duray asked if R-2 zoning in this area would be spot zoning. The City <br />Planner pointed out that the property consists of 29 acres, therefore, he <br />would not consider it spot zoning. The Planner felt the issue was whether <br />or not townhome development would be compatible with the area. <br />~~ Roycraft recommended denial of the concept for rezoning of the Palmen <br />property from R-1 to R-2 based on the fact that the R-2 zoning would not <br />fit the area given it is entirely sun~ounded by R-1 development. <br />Motion seconded by Duray. <br />Motion carried 7 - 0. <br />REZONING & <br />CUP - 477 EAST <br />LITTLE <br />CANADA ROAll <br />NORM'S TIRES <br />Knudsen stated that his concerns are that the issues raised tonight will not <br />go way if asingle-family residential development is proposed. I{nudsen <br />stated that the real issue appears to be whether or not the property should <br />be developed. <br />Keis agreed and suggested Chat the property owners in this area either talk <br />Co Council Members about the City's acquisition of this property or get <br />together as a group and purchase the property. <br />Guy and Nick Strohbeen, Nonn's Tires, appeared before the Commission <br />requesting a Rezoning from General Business (B-3) to Auto Oriented <br />Business (B-2) and an Amendment to an existing Conditional Use <br />Permit to allow the construction of a 50 foot by 40 foot storage building <br />on their property. Nick Strohbeen reported that the building will be used <br />for storage purposes only. There will be no water to the building, but <br />S <br />
