•i Planning and Zoning August 20, 1980 Page Eight Mr. Johnson insisted that the area contained in the ponding area must be IIIdeducted from the acreage - no City that he has ever heard of allows this to be used in computing the density figure. • Mr. Bathke asked Mr. Johnson if he had a suggestions as to how this should be handled. Mr. Johnson said 1) that if the motion doesn't pass, he will move to table - he wanted documentation from Mr. Locher stating that the permit is valid. Mr. Bathke felt that this Board is losing site of what this Board is supposed to do. Mr. Hook said that if all a person has to do is fill out an application and if this Board has 'no discretion' as Mr. Bathke indicated, then there is no need for a Planning and Zoning Board, and if they don't make a decision, tin p }{rjT is a cop out. Mr. Bathke said that he is not informed as to the compution of the density and he felt this matter has been held up long enough. Mr. Hook insisted that that this Board should make a decision and if they are not sure, then they should vote No on this plat. Mr. Prokop asked for a roll call vote with an explanation from the members as to why they are voting in that manner. Mayor Gourley wanted it a part of the record t at he_objected to the manner in which the meeting has been conducted. He of the fact that the home owners had brought a paid Attorney. He felt that it is unfortunate the Chairman has allowed this to happen. Mr. Reinert called for the vote; Mrs. Schwankl voted, Yes, because she felt that the developer had supplied the necessary information; Larry Johnson, No, based on 19 people per acre, low income housing in an area of much more expensive home, poor planning; Jerry Heath, No; Gary Bathke, Yes, Bob Doocy, Yes; Prokop, No, confusion on the special use permit. Mr. Reinert stated that the vote had ended in a tie vote and he used the prerogative of the Chair and cast a No vote for the reasons of high density, use of the surface of the lake, inappropriate to vary from Land Use Plan. Mr. Reinert declared the motion failed. Mr. Blackbird asked what is the procedure and Mr. Reinert said this goes to the Council as being denied. Mr. Johnson discussed the application of Mr. Roy Stanley's for platting lands in the Comprehansive Land Use Plan to be zoned as LI to R -1. Mr. Johnson read the portion of the May 27th minutes to the Council's actions on this application. Mr.Johnson objected to the ommissions of Mr. Short's reasons why this should be left as LI in the minutes. He felt that perhaps this Board is wasting their time since they approved this plat for R -1. Mr. Reinert felt the Council is ignoring the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and •he wondered why so mu9ch work and effort had been put into a document and not adhered to. Me. Heath moved to adjourn.
