March 23, 1981 '2 i 4!i developed at that location, Mayor Gourley said those kinds of con- cerns would be addressed at the time of platting. Mr. Karth said he had a list of concerns that had been presented by some of the property owners along Lake Drive and these concerns will be taken into consideration at the time of platting. A resident asked if there had been any consideration of what this would do to property values - wouldn't this decalue the property existing? Mayor Gourley said no such study had been done but he flet with the coming of the sewer the property values would increase. This person said that from what he and heard at this meeting, he would object to the rezoning. Mayor Gourley asked if he had any specifics and he said he didnot - the things he wanted to discuss were the items that would be concerned with teh platting of the property. Mr. Tom Eniis, 7395 Lake Drive, lives next door to Palico and he said there is only 25 to 30 feet from his house to the property being ocnsidered and he asked the Council not to rezone this land. Mayor Gourley asked Mr. Ennis if he knew he was in a commercial zone at the present time and Mr. Ennis said, Yes. Mr. Wally Ostlie, 7420 Lake Drive, concerned with the private homes being affected by the change and he wanted to know if there was some- thing they could say to sway the Council or has this already been decided? Mayor Gourley said the purpsoe of the hearing is to take testimony and find facts. Mr. Ostlie felt that there are other areas of the City that could be used for Industrial purpsoes - the Acton property on the East side of the City. The Council noted that sewer is not available for that area and Mr. Acton's property is not for sale - he wants to develop this. Mrs. Elsenpeter said this has not been an immediate step - this matter is tied into the Comprehensive Plan. There has been over a year's work of planning into that plan in order to have an orderly develop- ment within the City to insure that this is not just a 'bedroom' community. She also pointed out that the accessability to he free- way makes this an deal site for LI - nobody would want an Industrial Park in the middle of a residential area. Mr. Ostlie asked if anyone had determined what the tax advantage to the City would be from this industrial properyt? Mr. Karth said he had called the County Assessor and asked how the Industrial tax is computed and was told they use the figure of $46.35 per thousand of assessed value - on a single family homsteaded properyt, they use he figure of $15.70 per thousand - these are 1980 figures. Multi- family residences are about midway between. Mrs. Reinhold, Lake Drive said her property had been devaLuded because of the Industrial property on the North of her by 25%. Mayor
