Bjorkland stated that <br />the area was R -1 when she purchased her property and she would like <br />to see the area remain R -1. Bjorkland also stated that the Iona Lane <br />residents are opposed to B -3 in the back of the Townley lot. <br />Bjorkland stated that the Iona Lane residents have been assured for many <br />years by various Councils that the area would remain R -1 and, she felt <br />that the property could be developed as R -1. <br />Mr. Marvin Lee of Iona Lane felt that there was no justification for a <br />rezoning and felt that a rezoning would be a detriment to the residents <br />of Iona Lane. <br />Mr. Frank Gau of Iona Lane reported that the issue of rezoning has been <br />coming up since 1964 and various Councils have assured the Iona Lane <br />residents that the property would remain R -1. <br />Kathy Townley of Iona Lane suggested that the B -3 zoning stop as far <br />back as Lot 16. Townley did not want B -3 zoned property in the back <br />of her lot. <br />Mr. Bjorkland suggested that the property on Rice Street not be rezoned <br />but handled under a special use permit as the properties on the corner <br />of Rice and Iona Lane. <br />The Planner replied that this is not permitted under the ordinance and <br />the properties on Iona Lane and Rice Street are non - conforming. The <br />commercial uses that are there could not be re- established if they moved <br />out. <br />Page -2- <br />
