0000% May 12, 1980 Mr. Gehrman said he had consulted the lady to the South and she had signed the petition as being ih favor of the construction. There was discussion as to what zoning this should be. This land is zoned commercial the first 300' from the street right -of -way of highway #49. It is an existing parcel of land of record as part of arthur Thom Acres Plat. After some discussion, it was the general consensus of the Council that the planned use for this land conforms to the current zoning of commercial. Mayor Gourley pointed out the requirement in Section of 5.03 for the construction of a commercial building. He said it does not mean that all these requirements would apply to this particular proposal, but some of them do, it also requires that all property owners within 300' must be notified and there are only two signatures on this application. The Clerk was instructed to mail notices to all persons whose lands lie within 300 feet of this parcel. Mr. Gehrman will be on the June 9, 1980 agenda Mr. Schumacher suggested obtaining an abstract of the property owners that lie within this required distance. Mayor Gourley suggested that this one be handled in the office and in the future this method will be con- sidered. Mayor Gourley felt that perhaps Mr. Gehrman should try to sell his idea before this matter is presented to the Council. The next item to be considered was the application of Mar Don Homes for the rezoning of several lots in their plat to R2. Mayor Gourley asked if the matter of the Letter of Credit had been cleared. Mr. Schumacher said this had been discussed this morning. This letter of Credit is necessary to keep all developers on the same level. Mr. Tramm was under the impression that the letter that had been pre- sented was a letter of credit. It would appear there had been some mis- understanding on the part of Mr. Tramm. Mr. Tramm also felt the estimated costs of the project installation was too high. If there is a problem, the Council felt this should be discussed with Mr. Gotwald, and if in error, Mr. Gotwald would send a correction for the estimated costs. Mayor Gourley felt that this letter of Credit will need to be in the offices before the R2 applcation is considered. He did tell Mr. Tramm, that personally he liked the idea of inserting R2 among the R1 zonings. Mr. Tramm told the Council he was trying to get FHA approval of this plat and one of the major point of contention was the holding ponds. Mr Tramm asked if these areas could be deeded to the City and the general consensus of the Council was this was done for plats in the past and could also be done for this plat. Mayor Gourley said Mr. Tramm could be on the May 27, 1980 agenda, if the Letter of Credit is in at that time. Mayor Gourley asked if there was anyone present to represent Land and Oaks and there was no one.
