MINUTES CITY COUNCIL September 10, 1980 The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Mr. Hanson. Ayes (5) Scalze, Hanson, DeBace, Nadeau, Fahey. Nayes (0). Resolution declared adopted. This resolution appears in Resolution Book No. 6, Page 231. Mr. Paul Borg commented to the Council that variances have been granted on surrounding property in the area of his home, which he feels have set this area apart from the typical R-1 neighborhood. Councilman DeBace stated that he has no objection to the change in zoning as long as the whole area is rezoned. Councilwoman Scalze stated that she feels this is a small piece of property on which to build a tri-plex with the amount of blacktop that would be necessary and the number of cars that would be involved. Councilman DeBace commented that Mr. DeLaurias is not opposed as long as the street is improved and he gets sewer and water to his house. Councilman Nadeau stated that the City could probably get an easement from St. Jude's for the street, but that St. Jude's would not pay for the improvement. Councilman Fahey commented that the improvement would not benefit St. Jude's at all. Fahey also stated that he still had some reservations about a tri-plex on that property. Scalze felt that if the road was improved the turn-around should not be on the DeLaurias property. Fahey stated that he was opposed to the rezoning unless the whole area was rezoned. The Planner stated that if the rezoning were approved, Mr. Borg must then apply for a special use permit to construct a tri-plex. Then Mr. Borg must submit plans for the tri-plex. Fahey felt there were a number of issues the council must address in this case. Sewer, water and street should be put in, but St. Jude's should not be assessed. Both Mr. Borg and Mr. DeLaurias would have to dedicate the necessary easements for the road. The easements for the road would have to be obtained from St. Jude's with no cost to the City. The Engineer commented that the street would be a 60 foot right-of-way with a 30 foot blacktop. Councilman DeBace put a motion on the floor to approve the rezoning of the entire piece of property from R-1 to R-2. The motion was seconded by Mr. Nadeau. The Planner pointed out that in order to rezone the entire piece of property another public hearing would have to be held as the public hearing held at the last Council meeting pertained only to the Borg property. Therefore, the surrounding neighbors would have to be notified. Council would also have to hold a hearing fora conditional use permit to construct a tri-plex. Page -7-
