MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 11, 1999 the issue is complicated given that the Comp Plan indicated that the area should not remain I-1. Fahey moved to call a public hearing to consider the rezoning of the two Industrial (I-1) properties in this area to Single Family Residential (R-1). This motion died for lack of a second. Morelan pointed out that County Road D is a heavily traveled County road and he was not sure it was a good location for residential development. Morelan suggested that perhaps Residential Business (RB) would be a more appropriate use for the area. Morelan suggested that the Council obtain the input of the City Planner in this regard. Fahey pointed out that the Counci( discussed the use of this property as part of the Comprehensive Plan update. He suggested that it was now time for the Council to take action on the issue. Pedersen pointed out that the Buetows bought the property after the Council had the discussion. Therefore, they never had the opportunity to consider the issue. Morelan felt that the matter should move forward. He asked if the Council were to call a public hearing to consider rezonin~ the property to R-1 and during the course of the hearing determined that RB was a more appropriate zoning, if a new public hearing would have to be advertised. The Attorney replied that that would be correct. Morelan also noted that if the property were rezoned, the existing use of the property or the buildings could not be added to. LaValle pointed out that Arcade Electric has operated from this area for many years. LaValle suggested that the rezonin~ would put both the Buetow's and Arcade Electric out-of-business. Fahey stated that the property is not appropriately zoned as Industrial. Morelan felt the City should have moved forward and rezoned the area at the time it was considering the Comp Plan Amendment. Fahey sug~ested that discussion of the matter be placed on the a~enda for the August 25" meeting. At that meeting the City Planner should provide input as to whether ~-1 or RB zoning would be the most appropriate for the property. It was recommended that in addition to the Buetow property, the Arcade Electric property would also be discussed, and the property owners involved would be notified.
