Planning&Zoning Board May 13, 1998 Page 12 the property is rezoned R-3, the only access to the rear property is through the front property so the situation is unique. Acting Chair Johnson said that the Board should be cautious, as any change from R-1 to R-3 has a major impact on the neighborhood. Because North Suburban Development plans to acquire more property, he would like to see a site plan and the extent of multi- family homes being developed before approving a rezone. Mr. Menkveld stated that a current site plan would be revised as they acquire more property. A good design would be impossible until all desired property is required. Mr. Schilling said that North Suburban Development should then acquire all desired property before requesting a rezone. Mr. Menkveld stated that there are limitations but they know the area does not extend north of 79th Street and east of Lake Drive. Mr. Schilling stated that the area has not yet been laid out. Mr. Menkveld said that the area was laid out with the preliminary plat of Highland Meadows. Mr. Corson made a MOTION to close the public hearing at 8:35 p.m., and was supported by Mr. Schilling.
