MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION October 12, 1989 Pierce disagreed. The Planner pointed out that the development of the second shopping center was held to the requirement that the area behind the center be developed as R -1. The Planner stated that in order to make a viable single - family neighborhood, the new road should only serve single - family property and not commercial. Therefore, the purpose of the rezoning being considered this evening is to ensure that single - family homes are developed on the new street and not commercial. However, the existing uses of the property would be grandfathered in. Pedersen asked how deep the lots were. The Planner replied that the lots are 360 feet deep from the property line. Pierce suggested that there should be a buffer zone between the B -3 property and the R -1. The Planner replied that there is not adequate area for a buffer zone, and buffer zones typically do not face each other, but occur at back lot lines. Pierce was concerned that these problems are being addressed after the Boosalis development has been approved. Herkenhoff asked who will pay the assessments for the street. The City Planner replied that the lots fronting on the street will pay the assessments. Pierce reported that the property owners have been informed that the assessment for the street will be approximately $13,000 to $14,000 per lot. Pierce pointed out that if the lots can be sold for $20,000, that will only result in a profit of $6,000 for the property owner. Pierce also pointed out that the property owner is loosing half of a B -3 lot as well. Dr. Krienke, owner of 89 W. County Road C, reported that when he purchased the property as an investment, it was zoned commercial. Now the City wants to downgrade the zoning to residential, which downgrades Page 12
