Planning and Zoning August 20, 1980 Page Three Mr. Reinert felt that since there is no formal request, no action can be 40 tak' at this meeting. Mr. Stephenson said, if this building is denied, he would like to know what he can construct. Mr. Reinert suggested he work with the Building Inspector on this matter. The general consensus of the Board was that the residential use of the land would be considered and not the commercial aspects of this land. The neXt item to be considered was a rezone request from Mr. Mortenson. Mr. Mortenson explained that he is considering purchlsing some lands and buildings from Glenn Rehbein containing 14i acressdatze adjoining Mr. Rehbein's buildings. They proposed to use the existing building as a shop and the remaining portion of the land as a storage yard for their heavy equipment. This is a general construction company. Several site plans were presented to the Board for their consideration. Mr. Mortenson indicated he felt this zoning should be Heavy Industrial. Mr. Reinert read the letter from Mr. Short commenting on this request. Mr. Short recommended that all lands located North of Elm Street, East of 4th Avenue, West of Highway #8 (Lake Drive) and South of I35W be designated as Light Industrial and presented his reasons for this recommendations. Mr. Short outlined the items that must be presented for consideration of this request. Mr. Prokop suggested tabling this matter in order to give Mr. Mortenson time to conform to these suggestions. Mr. Mortenson said he would like some in- 111 dication of the Board's general feelings on this matter as time is a factor in their consideration of this site. He felt there is no problem in con- forming to the requirements as outlined. Mr. Reinert felt that Mr. Mortenson would need to look over these recommenda- tions. Mr. Reinert asked if there was any member of the Board who did not feel this is a feasible use of the land and the general consensus of the Board was there are no objections to this use. The time table for this consideration for rezoning was discussed with Mayor Gourley indicating that the earliest the Public Hearing could be held on this would be the first Council meeting in October. Mr. Mortenson did not see any problems with that time table and felt there are no requirements in Mr. Short's recommendations that they could not live with. Mr. Doocy moved to table this and putH'on the September 17th agenda. Seconded by Mr. Heath. Motion carried unanimously. The Next item on the agenda was a request for a variance from Mr. Glenn Rehbein with a possible rezone request also. Mr. Rehbein indicated that the variance is the primary request. This is for the transfer of a small tri- angle piece of land in order to bring the parcel he owns up to 5 acres. The first 300' feet is in the commerical zone, the remainder is residential. This land abutts Old Highway #8 and is just North of Mrs. Edith Morse. Mr. Rehbein is planning to construct a new home at that location. Mr. Rehbein said he did not really want to rezone - he would prefer to leave the zoning IIIas is in order to construct a three car garage. The other homes in the area have been constructed without the rezoning. He would prefer to leave this the way it is. The garage will be constructed with the same material of the home.
