CITY COUNCIL MEETING, JULY 6, 1982 8. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS: A. Blomquist/Popov Rezoning - ( The Council reviewed the Planning Commission recommendation to approve the rezoning request for John Blomquist. --Mottaz - has problems with the rezoning -getting a plan by default along the highway - going to end up with a strip of sheet metal buildings along Highway 12. Concerned that by changing the zoning to something other than what is in the Comp Plan anything can be done :with the property - City will have no control. Asked what Mr. Blomquist plans on doing with his remaining property. --Boris Popov - Mr. Blomquist has expressed plans to presently leave the remaining property in agriculture. Considers hang gliders as motorized recreational vehicles. --Novak - Automobile Service Uses, permitted in HB, lists recreational uses such as boat sales - possibly consider glider sales as - imilar to boat saFles.,and better zoned and permitted in HB. Maybe J &_W should',be cl:a0 ified in HB rather than, General Business. Has a problem with GB --opens the property up to unforseen uses, whereas, Highway Business is exactly what is planned. --Popov - were asked by the City to'only rezone the 150' x 660' parcel because of this concern. --Morgan - no problem with the request - plan call for business Not concerned about the rezoning - Concerned about a strip developing. More concerned about the appearance of the building and its layout. --Popov - will be a rectangular pole barn - two doors, one on each end. No floor, but will have to meet commercial code. --Eder - unless it were of comparable value to the property to the west - would oppose the rezoning and use. Would consider it spot zoning. Mr. Blomquist should be asked what he intends to do with the remaining property. If he is going to commit 2 acres he must have some idea of how he wants to commit the rest. --Novak - if rezoning to HB is to be considered is should be HB along with an over-all plan for the remaing property. --Eder - recommended remanding this back to the PZC and request Mr. Blomquist, or his representative, attend the meeting and discuss his 'future plans for the property. --Popov - creating a hardship for the business:by"delaying action. Have done everything the City has requested. --Eder - not unreasonable to ask Mr. Blomquist what he intends to do with the remaining property. --Whittaker - two questions - is this an acceptable use in HB - what is the intended use for the remaining property. M/S/P Mottaz/Morgan to table action on the Blomquist/Popov rezoning and request Mr. Blomquist attend the next Council meeting, July 20, to answer the questions raisedt by the Council.
