August 13, 1979 system. Mrs. Bruner said the problem was due t a switch that controlled the lift station be truned off. Mr. Torp was concerned over the possibility of have a lot of transient people in the building. Mr. Paulson was concerned that the rezoning of this property to R2 would depreciate the value of his property - the enviornment of the neighborhood - and theasafety of the children in the area. It was pointed out to Mr. Paulson that this building has been used as a duplex since it was built in 1963 and if the enviornment of the neighbor- hood was to be affected, it should have happened long ago, also, if his property was to depreciate, this too would have already happened. Mr. Bruner said he bought the home as an investment - he has no intention of renting out at the present time. Perhaps when his children are gone, he will consider this possibility. It was pointed out to the persons present, this structure is in a commercial zoned area and as such may be used for a variety of business location. There was general discussion on the need for two septic systems, two wells, and the fact that even if rezoned, could not be used as:a duplex until this question is cleared. Mayor Karth felt this is not a Council problem, but the owner's problem. He aso felt that since this parecel is zoned commercial, theR2 zoning would be more desireable. This use as a duplex could serve as a buffer between the home owners and the lands to the South that are zoned commercial. The question was raised as to why the publication read rezoning from R1, residential to R2 - Duplex, if the building is in a commercial zone. Mr. Locher said it was wrong and ti was his fault. There must be a new hearing set and be republished. This will also have to go through Planning and Zoning again. Mr. Gourley was present and he was asked if this matter could be handled at the August 15, 1979 meeting and Mr. Gourley. agreed.
