Mr. Locher presented a short resume of the history of the Special Use Permit noting that it was issued in March of 1970 for Townhouses and apartments. In August of 1971, Ordin- ance #56 was published. Special Use Permit #27 was issued under Ordinance #6 which pro- vided that a permitted use in a Residential District was 2 -4 family dwellings and apart- ments by Special Use Permit, upon recommendation by the Planning and Zoning. Under Or- dinance #6 there was only two districts - residential and commercial. Mr. Locher pointed out that under Ordinance #56, 6.20, a zoning map was to be prepared - no map has been prepared to date. So, except for particular areas that have been re- zoned by request, the City has two (21 zoning districts - Residential and Commercial. Judge Bakke heard the arguments and is before this Council per the Judge's suggestion. Under 6.21 of Ord. #56 there should be an application for a Special Use Permit. (This section deals with the completion of the project within three (3) years). Mr. Locher noted the hearints that had been held in May, June, and July. Action had been taken at that time on all existing Special Use Permits and Rezoning - some had been con- tinued - some had been revoked. All had been considered including #27, which had been continued. The record of this Council action is on file. Mr. Schumacher presented a brief history of the permit. In April of 1972 a final plat for Townhouses was approved on a portion of Outlot K. This plat was never recorded. In July of 1980, all Special Use Permits and Rezoning were reviewed.
