Page Four Aug. 21, 1974 Mr. Nadeau felt that to rezone this land commercial and have it sit idle for years, is tying up valuable properties. He felt that if a developer hes a good plan, he should know that this Board would be receptive. Mr. Marier told Mr. Smith that their position was understood. First the past due bill must be paid. If this land is rezoned without applan, then he would think the Council would put a time limit as to when it would have to be developed or revert to the original zoning. Mr. Smith wanted to know what sort of a time frame and Mr. Marler said he would not even venture a guess. This would be entirely up tb this Board and the Council. Mr. Kelling moved to draw up plans for the area to be rezoned, submit to the planner and engineer. If plans fit into the overall plan, reappear before this Planning and Zoning Board. He would suggest that the Derek Co. present a suggested plan. Seconed by Mr. L'Atlier. Motion carried. Mr. Nelson appeared; to present preliminary sketch of a plat located on Old Highway #8, about 3/4 of a mite North of Main Street on the Neff property. Mr. Starr had gone over this plan and suggested approval of the lot sizes as shown. He also reeommended acceptance of money in lieu of land for the Park. Mr. Nelson's original pian was for one acre lots, this one shows f acre lots. His plan is sell two lots to each builder, suggesting that they build so that in the event of water and sewer, the second lot could be then sold. Mr. Hill wondered what would happen of some party immediately sold the second lot - Mr. Nelson said these points are still being worked out but he fett that in order to get a building permit, the lot would require a perc test. if this showed that the lot could support a septic system, then the building permit could be issued, if not, then no building permit. Mr. Nelson asked about the suggestion that money in lieu of land for the Park - how soon would the City require this money, how much, and can it be paid In installments. Mr. Lombardi asked if there was any precedent on how this had been done In the past and was told, No. The City has taken the land. Mr. Shearen said this would be at the discretion of the Council, but he felt if this plat is approved that an answer can be found, Mr. Marier thought that a stipulation that a certain portion of the develop- ment be completed before payment is required. Mr. Karth asked for comments from the Board members as to suggested changes and there was none. Mr. Nelson had one request. He asked that the 300' commercially zoned strip along Highway 8 be rezoned to residential. Mr. Marier said he would bring this up and ask Mr. Lcoher how tt should be
