(4) March 13, 1974 Mr. Starr explained this was there partly because of the soils in that area and because there are some business that want locations along the Interstates for exposure purposes. The plan had tried to keep the commercial lands in areas that gave good accessibility to the Interstates. This area also provides a buffer zone between the Interstate and the residential areas to the North. Mr. Hill questioned the Park area located on Reshanau Lake. Has this been worked out or is it just a proposal? Mr. Marier said at the present time this is a proposal, The details have not been worked out but he felt that this would present no problems. Mary Severs from Washington County and two companions were in the audience. Mr. Marier asked if they had any questions. Mary Severs said, No, they had attended this meeting to see what respose the City ,uld have from the citizens. They are in the process of compiling the information for a comprehensive land use plan of their own. Mr. Bohjanen wanted to make the point that if any rezoning is done, it must be ,Ine at the owner's request and that is the only way lands' will be rezoned. sir. Locher agreed with this statement and any area less that five (5) acres requires a mailing to all persons within three hundred fifty feet (350) of the property lines. Mr. McLean said a part of the comprehensive land use plan is the requirement of a yearly review. So any part of this Alan that was felt should be changed or altered could be done at the yearly review. Mr. L'Allier wanted the question on the zoning clear in his mind. Nis understand- ing was that this is just a plan and has nothing to do with zoning. Mr. Marier said, Yet, the comprehensive land use plan is to be used as a guide only for future development of the City. Any lands to be rezoned will be done only at the request of the land owner. Mr. Locher said the zoning map worked out by the Planning and Zoning Board had not been adopted and the City is operating under Ordinance #6 with amendments. Marier said that the Planning and Zoning Board has the authority to accept or reject this plan. He turned the meeting over to the Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Board, Mr. Karth. Mr. Karth asked for a motion to accept the comprehensive land use plan. %I. Shearen moved to recommed to the City Council acceptance of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as presented. Seconded by Mr. L'Allier. Motion carried unanamiously. Mayor Bohjanen thanked the Planning and zoning Board for the work put into this project. It is a good plan.
