MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MAY 8, 1997 <br />Leis reported that the developer of the Yorkton Ridge neighborhood <br />offered a catalog of homes to choose from when people began building on <br />this street. Leis did not feel the house proposed to be moved in fit the <br />criteria that has been established. Leis was also concern that there is not a <br />firm commitment on the part of Mr. Pajari for the improvements which <br />would be made and asked the timeframe for making these improvements. <br />The City Planner replied that as part of the CUP process, improvements <br />would have to be completed before an occupancy permit would be issued <br />for the house. <br />Leis asked if his opinion made any difference. <br />Keis responded that the Commission appreciates the input, but noted that <br />Mr. Leis has not shown that there is a difference in property values <br />between the house to be moved in and the existing homes in the <br />neighborhood. <br />The Planner suggested that Mr. Leis could put his information together <br />and present it at the City Council meeting. <br />Keis felt that the home was not drastically different from the existing <br />homes on Yorkton Ridge in terms of construction techniques and siding. <br />Montour pointed out that the house located across the street from this lot is <br />almost identical to the house Mr. Pajari would move in after <br />improvements are made. <br />Leis felt Pajari was trying to put lipstick on a pig. Leis stated that he is <br />concerned that there is not enough formal commitment on the part of Mr. <br />Pajari as to what his plans are for upgrading the house. <br />DeLonais pointed out that the finished square footage of the house would <br />be greater than three other homes in the immediate area. <br />Leis stated that he pays a lot of property taxes and purchased his house <br />with the understanding that the houses in the neighborhood would be very <br />much the same. Leis indicated that all his neighbors oppose the proposal <br />and have asked him to come to the Planning Commission meeting and <br />represent them. Leis asked if there has been any other comments from the <br />neighborhood. <br />DeLonais reported that Mr. Chuck Nelson, 120 Yorkton Ridge, submitted <br />a letter in opposition of the CUP. <br />4 <br />Page 41 <br />
