• <br /> Planning&Zoning Board <br /> May 13, 1998 <br /> Page 10 <br /> Nancy Boyer, 749 79th Street, stated that she has seen the plat and would like for all the <br /> property to have continuity. Single family homes would be acceptable to her. She stated <br /> she likes the size of the lots and would like to continue to enjoy the area. Ms. Boyer <br /> stated she strongly opposed the rezoning to R-3 if it includes the property adjacent to the <br /> street on the southern side. <br /> Mr. Menkveld suggested the Board vote to rezone the property, excluding the northern <br /> area. The northern area would then provide the R-1 buffer the neighborhood wants. <br /> Mr. Schilling stated they would then need a new map and proposal. <br /> Mr. Ahrens agreed that a new map and proposal would be needed. Right-of-way issues <br /> would have to be addressed and the City would have to see the proposal in detail. <br /> Mr. Schilling asked about the time frame regarding building. Mr. Menkveld indicated a <br /> year at the earliest. <br /> Mr. Dunn stated that the Comprehensive Plan does provide for Multi-Family Housing in <br /> the District. The plat has been approved as part of the Highland Meadows Plan. The <br /> Board is now faced with changing the zoning. The site plan describes what is going to be <br /> developed, and the zoning deals with what is allowed to be developed <br /> Ms. Wyland indicated that was correct. If the City approves a rezone with no site plan, <br /> some multi-family homes that were not anticipated could be developed. The City has an <br /> approved plat that shows townhomes and approving the rezone without the site plan <br /> would not guarantee townhomes would be developed. <br /> Mr. Dunn stated that it would better serve the City if the Board has both the rezone and <br /> site plan. Ms. Wyland agreed that was a better option. <br /> Mr. Schilling asked how much time was involved for approval of the rezone of just the <br /> rear property. Ms. Wyland stated the application for the rezone of just the rear property <br /> could be presented at the next Planning and Zoning meeting. She noted that Staff would <br /> still have the same concerns. <br /> Mr. Ahrens stated that the engineer for North Suburban Development would have to draft <br /> a proposal and he would review it. Mr. Ahrens would obtain the right-of-way <br /> requirements prior to the next meeting so there would be no delay. <br /> Mr. Gusse, 710 79th South, stated that Mr. Menkveld needed to acquire the property <br /> before he can plat it. The time schedule for acquiring the property is June 1, 1998. He <br /> suggested the Board approve the rezoning with conditions regarding the plat. <br />
