PUBLIC HEARING, Franke Feela, Inc., Haley Manor, NE portion of MarDon Acres, Rezone, Preliminary Plat & Comprehensive Plan Amendment Vice Chair Rafferty opened the Public Hearing at 8:27 p.m. Staff reviewed their July 9, 2003 report and recommended approval with the twelve (12) conditions as noted in their report. Mr. Rafferty expressed concern that this information had not being made available to the public in attendance tonight and he favored tabling this to the next meeting. Mr. Corson recommended the developer meet with the neighbors and have a neighborhood meeting with all of the residents if this was continued. Ms. Lane asked if the developer had met with the people who wanted to develop this property. Mr. Feela replied he had met with those people, but he had not met with the other residents in this area. An audience member stated she believed those in attendance tonight did not object to this development, but instead wanted to be included in the connection of sewer and water. Mr. Smyser suggested following the proper procedure and if the Board wished to continue the meeting, it could be done at the end of the public comments. Mr. Hyden asked if they needed the majority of the residents to approve. Mr. Smyser replied some of the residents were interested in having sewer and water service and in order for utilities to go in, somebody had to pay for them and the other issue was that they did not want to create isolated lots without being able to handle storm water management. He stated with a plat like this, there was a grading plan and if there was no grading plan, with area being extremely wet this was a very significant issue. He stated there was also a requirement that a creation of new sewered lots must be done with a plat and could not be done as a minor subdivision any longer. He stated in the past they had received petitions for sewer and water, but the City had decided not to do that now without platting the property. He noted this was a very unusual situation because it was creating new lots within an existing neighborhood.
