March 23, 1981 Page Four - he said he didnot - the things he wanted to discuss were the items that would be concerned with the platting of the property. Y"'N. Tom Ennis, 7395 Lake Drive, lives next door to Palico and he said there 1 only 25 to 30 feet from his house to the property being considered and he -asked the Council not to rezone this land. Mayor Gourley asked Mr. Ennis if he knew he was in a commercial zone at the present time and Mr. Ennis said, Yes. Mr. Wally 0stlie, 7420 Lake Drive, concerned with the private homes being affected by the change and he wanted to know if there was something they could say to sway the Council or has this already been decided? Mayor Gourley said the purpose of the hearing is to take testimony and find facts. Mr. Ostlie felt that there is other areas of the City that could be use for Industrial purposes - the Acton property on the East side of the City. The Council noted that sewer is not available for that area and Mr. Acton's property is not for sale - he wants to develop this. Mrs. Elsenpeter said this has not been an immediate step - this matter is tied into the Comprehensive Plan. There has been over a year's work of planning into that plan in order to have a orderly development within the City to insure that this is not justa 'bedroom' community.

Multi -family residences are about midway between. Mrs. Reinhold, Lake Drive said her property had been devalued because of the Industrial property on the North of her by 25%. Mayor Gourley asked her to submit her documents to this effect to the City. Mr. Glenn Rehbein, the Developer, pointed out that this property is ideally located for industrial property - that his new home is across the street and did not feel that this development would devalue property. Mr. Jeff Johnson, 7421 Lake Drive, he is opposed to sewer because he has a lot of frontage and it follows that he would also be opposed to the rezoning. Mr. Ostlie felt it would be good to know what impact the reported tax increase would have on the residents of the City before a decision is made on this rezoning. . Karth said the dollar value would be approximately 3 times as much from an industrial zone as from a residential area. Mayor Gourley asked if there was any questions from the Council. Mr. Jaworski asked Mr. Karth if the area was zoned industrial, is there a time schedule
