• <br />• <br />Planning & Zoning Board <br />May 13, 1998 <br />Page 11 <br />Ms. Wyland stated that the City cannot enforce conditions regarding a rezone. The City <br />can, however, stipulate conditions for a plat. She explained that this is why the Board is <br />hesitant to approve the rezone. <br />Mr. Dunn noted that it is customary to rezone with a plat. Mr. Menkveld indicated that <br />was not true in most cities. He stated that during the platting process of Highland <br />Meadow I, the neighbors were told the property would be used for multi - family housing. <br />Mr. Wessel noted the importance of the Comprehensive Plan. The City is not directing <br />North Suburban Development to build multi - family housing. The Comprehensive Plan <br />only suggests the idea of multi - family housing. He advised that the Comprehensive Plan <br />has not yet been formally recommended. <br />Mr. Dunn stated that he felt a 30 day tabling of the issue was appropriate to settle the <br />issues before a decision can be made. He believes that June 1, 1998, is a self imposed <br />deadline. He encouraged all of those involved to work with the City. <br />Mr. Menkveld asked if the Board would consider the rezoning without a detailed plan, or <br />if the Board would continually delay the property owners. <br />Mr. Dunn stated that zoning and a site plan are different issues. If the City requires both <br />a problem will occur. He indicated he has no problem with the zoning being independent <br />of the site plan. <br />Mr. Schilling asked if the Board would be able to vote on a proposed rezone at the next <br />meeting. <br />Mr. Corson stated that if the Board approves the rezone to R -3, the site plan could not be <br />denied if all of the requirements were met. The issue has been addressed before and a site <br />plan was required for other developers. He would like the City to be consistent. <br />Mr. Dunn said that occasionally exceptions are made. If an unacceptable site plan was <br />proposed after the rezone, the Board would be faced with a policy decision. <br />Mr. Trehus stated that exceptions should not be made. All information should be <br />presented before a decision is made. <br />Mr. Dunn said that developers will not spend money on a site plan without the desired <br />zoning. <br />Mr. Corson stated that two citizens of the City have concerns that have not yet been <br />resolved and if the City approves the rezone an unacceptable plat could be forced on <br />them. Ms. Wyland explained that if the front of the property remains R -1 and the rear of <br />
