The property was never <br />rezoned from R -1 Single Family Residential to Public after it was purchased simply because <br />of an oversight. The property had been purchased for the purpose of building a public works <br />garage on the site, but the property is too small and other property has already been <br />purchased for the garage. A restrictive covenant could be entered into which would restrict <br />use of the property for all future owners. <br />Gray stated that he still wants the land to remain open space. Larson agreed. <br />The Director stated that the Planning Commission, on a split vote, voted in favor of retaining <br />the R -1 zoning. <br />Kathy Smith, the person interested in purchasing the property for home construction, stated <br />that she agrees with the concept of leaving green space and the need for snow storage. She <br />would be willing to leave a buffer zone to achieve that goal. She also stated that she would <br />be willing to build a wooden bridge crossing the creek. <br />Page t o` '2 4 <br />
