COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 10, 1988 Ann Rouch, 140 Marvey Street asked what street would be cul- de- saced. Mr. Miller explained that any street going east to west. She expressed concern about 74th Street and said she was not thrilled about the rezone of the area south of the prison and hoped that the Council uses a lot of descretion when allowing develoment in the area. She suggested that a strip of land along the western border of the area south of the prison be developed for residential use and when people buy the housing they be told that the area to the east of them is zoned for industrial use. Tracey Douglas, 540 Lilac Street asked if her area is zoned Suburban Residential and her lot is less than two and one half acres will she be able to subdivide. Mr. Miller said no. David Cooper, Oak Lane said he owns fourteen acres and asked if he could subdivide if the area is zoned Rural. Mr. Miller said no. Mr. Reinert noted that rezoning the lands east of Caroles Estates to Rural is in a sense putting a moratorum on the area. He asked if this could also apply to the area south of the prison until someone comes in with a development proposal. Mr. Miller explained this property is located within the MUSA boundaries and the Rural zone would not be appropriate. Mr. Reinert asked what could be done in the area of placing a moratorum on the land. Mr. Hawkins said a moratorum could not be placed on the land indefinitely and the land cannot be zoned for no practical use. Mr. Reinert was concerned that the residents would not have a voice in future development because this Council could not guarantee what another Council would do. Mr. Bisel noted that the EDC is attempting to get lands set aside for attracting industry. They have looked at what is available and the concept is that where there is a major intersection, land is available. He noted that near 35E sewer and water is not available and the EDC is looking for something in the immediate future. Mr. Miller explained the Forrest Tagg property was proposed to be rezoned from Light Industrial to General Business to conform with the zoning already in this area. Carole Odenthal, 7748 Carole Drive asked if her letter was received. Mayor Benson said that it was and was made part of the record. 1 PAGE 9
