MINUTES City Council July 23, 1986 Rehabili- The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Mr. Blesener. tation Ayes (5) Nardini, Blesener, Collova, Fahey, Scalze. Center Nays (0). (Cont.) Resolution declared adopted. This resolution appears in Resolution Book No. 15, Page 386, Rezoning Mayor Fahey opened the public hearing on the Council initiated Certain action to consider rezoning of certain portions of the I-P District Portions to R-l. Fahey pointed out that the Council previously left the Of I-P area on the west side of DeSoto open for further study. At one District time the Council considered acquiring property in the area for To R,1 recreational fields, however, the City has since purchased other land. Agenda Item No. 9 Fahey reported that the Council is proposing that the property on the west of DeSoto be rezoned to R-1 from Montreal Courts on the south to just south of the NSP easement on the north. DeSoto Avenue would then develop with a cul-de-sac when the street is developed. Fahey reported that some of the concerns of the Council have been that if the industrial property is denied access to DeSoto, then the City would not be able to assess that property for the street. In order to make the street improvement feasible, both sides of the street would have to be assessed. Fahey also pointed out that the I-P District has been designated as a tax increment district and this can be used as a tool for attracting development and bringing utilities to the area. Fahey pointed out that the Planning Commission tabled the rezoning issue pending input from the property owners in the area. Jim Gardner, representing Gardner Bros., reported that he has reached an agreement with Pat Frattalone for the purchase of his property. Nowever, if DeSoto were developed through to County Road D, development of this property would not be feasible if the property were also rezoned R-1 as previously proposed. Gardener pointed out the setbacks that would be required of industrial property to residential and the fact that this would leave little room for commercial development to occur. However, if the Gardner property and Frattalone property were combined, a building could be built on the Frattalone property and parking could be placed under the power line area. Fahey pointed out that it is the concensus of the Council that DeSoto not be improved through to County Road D, but end in a cul-de-sac just south of the power line easement. The reason for this is that there would be a great deal of property along the power line easement that could not be assessed. Page -7-
