ISSUES - CLAPP THOMMSEN: ssasasssaaassssasssaassa (APPENDIX A) - During the 1986 moratorium, the RR zoning ordinance was amended to reduce the number of homes permitted on 40 acres from 7 per 40 to 4 per 40. - Mr. Bishop owns 145.2 acres on the SW corner of Stillwater Blvd. and County 13b. Prior to the moratorium, he was entitled to 25 clustered lots. After the moratorium, he is entitled to 14 clustered lots of which he already has 11. He is entitled to 3 more. - A precedent will be set if Mr. Bishop is granted an exception to the recently amended RR zoning ordinance which will render the amended ordinance useless. Approximately 50% of the entire area of the City zoned RR. - It is .my understanding that this issue has not been before the Planning Commission. It is also my understanding that it legally has to be con- sidered by the Planning Commission before it comes before the Council. If this is true, it should be remanded back to the Commission They know the process - I question their intent by intentionally bypassing the Planning Commission. - At NO time prior to the moratorium was consideration given, either on the part of Don Bishop or the City Council, to preliminary concept approval or preliminary plat approval for Phases -II and III! The original request was for a rezone from RR to R1 of 79 acres (35 lots) which was denied by the Council on March 19th. When that failed, Mr. Bishop asked for, and was granted, preliminary concept approval for Phase I to be developed according to RR zoning ordinances. For details, see Chronologue below. CHRONOLOGUE: ------------ Feb. 11, 1985: Planning Commission. Bruce Folz presents proposal to rezone 79 acres of 145.2 acres from RR to R1 to permit 35 lots in 3 phases: Phase I: 11 lots Phase II: 11 lots Phase III: 13 lots 35 They were entitled to 25.4 lots or 25 lots. From the minutes, . it is the owners intention to proceed with phase I by either the rezoning or by clustering..." THEY WERE NOT ASKING FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL FOR ANY OF THE PHASES. THEY WANTED A REZONE. The request was tabled. Feb. 25, 1985: Planning Commission. From the minutes, "Bruce Folz reviewed the proposal, which has not changed from the last meeting. What Mr. Bishop is asking for is concept approval of the entire plan and preliminary plat approval and rezoning to R1. for the 11 lots in phase 1."
