MINUTES City Council July 13, 1988 Announcements (Cont.) The Mayor announced that there will be a meeting of the Economic Development Committee on Wednesday, July 27th, at 7:30 A.M. Boosalis The Mayor opened the public hearing on the request made by Sherman Rezoning Boosalis for PUD amendment by rezoning from B -3, General Business, to Request R -1, Single Family Residential for a portion of his property in the Rice Street and County Road C area. The Mayor noted that the Council Agenda also had initiated rezoning consideration for the back portions of Item No. 5 the B -3 properties on County Road C adjacent to the Boosalis property to R -1. However, upon the recommendation of the City Planner and City Attorney the Planning Commission decided to take no action on the Council initiated portion of the rezoning. The Planning Commission did recommend, however, that the Boosalis property be rezoned to R -1. The City Planner reported that the developer, Mr. Boosalis, is purchasing the property from Dr. Krinkie. However, Dr. Krinkie would prefer that the property not be formally rezoned until the purchase is finalized. The Planner suggested that rather than pass the rezoning this evening, the Council consider a resolution directing City staff to prepare a rezoning ordinance which could be adopted at the time the Boosalis PUD is finalized. Scalze pointed out that the remaining B -3 properties on County Road C would have to observe setback requirements to residential property, which would make these parcels very difficult to develop as B -3. Fahey asked why RB, Residential Business, zoning was not being considered for the property. The Planner pointed out that RB would allow two family dwellings, which would then be located directly across from single - family development. The Planner reported that typically land use changes should occur on rear lot lines and not facing one another. Scalze asked the reason for holding off on rezoning the other B -3 property an County Road C. The Planner reported that he recommended not rezoning these parcels at this time until the question of Tax Increment Financing is resolved and the level of assessments for the road improvement is determined. The Planner pointed out that the rezoning serves no purpose at this time until the Boosalis development is completed. Mr. Kukk, 83 County Road C, stated that he was opposed to the rezoning pointing out that he uses his property commercially and if the property 1s rezoned he would abutt residential property, which will pose problems for his business. Kukk pointed out that there would be no buffer from .his commercial property to the residential. Kukk also felt that the Boosalis development and rezonings only benefited outside developers and not the existing property owners in the area. Mr. Souchy, County Road C resident, asked if Boosalis would pay for the road improvement. Page -2- Page 51
