1 COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 23, 1989 him enough time to gather facts on the matter and since the rezone request came as a suprise, he asked that the hearing be postphoned until the next Council meeting. He also noted that it would have been helpful if a definition of the zoning classifications would have been included with the notification along with the permitted uses. Mr. Miller explained why the notices were late and noted that this would not invalidate the proceedings tonight. However, the Council could continue the public hearing until the next Council meeting. Mr. Gontarek said he would like the hearing continued. Mr. Gontarek explained that he felt the R -1 zoning for the Crystal Court cul -de -sac was not good enough because he felt that all of the current structures exceed the R -1 minimum standards. He noted that the current developer has built quality homes and has promised to continue doing so as the land to the north is developed. However, Mr. Gontarek noted developers can and do change in midstream. Zoning the area R -1X would guarantee that the homes would be of like quality. Mr. Gontarek explained that his second concern regarded the number of lots platted on Outlot B. He thought that the entire area was zoned R -1X requiring larger lot sizes and now magically three lots appear on Outlot B. He suggested that the third lot be split and added to the two lots on either side of this lot. He felt that the Council was sending mixed messages to the residents in his area and said it appeared that Outlot B was being rezoned because the lot sizes would not conform to the R -1X requirements.

Bisel asked Mr. Gontarek if the new lot~ remainee the same size as his lot, would he be satisfied if the builder constructed R -1X homes? Mr. Gontarek said no because first there were two lots platted for the Outlot and now there are three lots platted. The developer has promised like quality homes on these lots, but developers can change. There is no guarantee that R -1X homes would be constructed. From his prospective there would be a better chance of an equal or high quality home being built on the lot if the lot were zoned R -1X and sized R -1X. Mr. Bisel suggested that there could be some compromise on this situation. Mayor Benson told Mr. Gontarek that the R -1X zoning does not 23
