!PP-7 August 22, 1979 299 1 1 1 feasible once there was a City Administrator, and Mr. McLean said the Council would be initiating a procedure to review all special use permits. Mrs. Sarner noted that when special use permits are issued through the year, they should all have acommon expiration date, rather than running for a year from the date they are issued. Mrs. Sarner will be compiling a complete list of all special use permits issued, as well as those affected by the interpretation of the ordinance. The question of the proposed use of outlots H and K and the opposition to the proposed use was considered. Mr. Locher felt there should be a com- promise between the developer and the 'residents, and Mr. Schneider felt there should be some alternative plans offered by the developer. Mr. Talle, representing the developer, said they had not come prepared to petition for a rezoning or to 'institute new plans for development for that area, and had understood the purpose of this meeting was for an interpretation of the ordinance. Mayor Karth noted there was an action which had been presented to the Planning adn Zoning Commission by the developer for a resoning to R -5; the : &Z motion was a tie vote, and it was now up to the Council to either send it back or go on with the public hearing. The meeting to work out a compromise and the subsequest interpretation of the ordinance had only been inbetween measures. Mr. McLean felt that if the developer and the homeowners were genuinely interested in looking at alternatives, the Council should examine that, and if not, go on with the public hearing. Mr. Schneider felt it was a question of rezoning, and whether it fell in with the overall pattern of rezoning for the City. Mayor Karth indicated that the Council had asked the developer to plat for his rezoning, and the rezoning and the replatting hearing could be held at the same time. Mr. Schneider raised the question as to whether this was the proper procedure. Mr. DeNuccio raised the question of Mr. McLean's motion, made several meetings ago, the intent of which was to hold off on any major rezoning or any major changes until the Comprehensive Plan was put together. He proposed that this matter would be a substantial undertaking and should not be handled until the Comprehensive Plan was done. Mayor Karth said that once an application was made, action one way or the other must be taken, and action had been started on this before Mr. McLean's motion was made.Mr. DeNuccio felt taht the second action on this development was separate from the first, and had been initiated after Mr. McLean's Resolution. It was noted that the Council had 60 days to take action after referral by the Planning Commission, which could consist of approval, denial, or reference back to the Planning adn Zoning Commission. Mr. Schneider felt there was no need to reconsider, and suggested the two parties get together ?on this, which had not yet been done. Mayor Karth said that if a public hearing were held on this and the application denied, the developer would have to wait a year to make another application. A man in the audience noted that there had already been a public hearing on this, but it had been held up by a technicality and the vote had not been valid; Mr. DeNuccioo felt the public hearing had been valid despite the problems with the vote. There was further discussion on this point, and Mr. DeNuccio felt the matter should be resolved at this meeting; Mayor Karth indicated it could not be resolved without a public hearing. A man in the audience extended to the developer and /or his, agents an invitation to meet with the residents in the area involved so that there could be a clear understanding of what was intended, the purposes, and the rationale behind it. Mayor Karth indicated the Council would be more than willing to allow the meeting to be held in the Municipal Building, as a common meeting ground. Mr. Kulaszewicz moved that the public hearing be held on September 12, at 8:00 p.m. Mr. McLean seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion declared passed. This will be published. The homeowners
