Jim Vleck, 7920 Groveland, questioned why his property
had been rezoned from R -1 to R -2, without notifying
him, and how th.it rezoning might effect his property
taxes.
Mayor McCarty explained the rezoning corrected the
zoning from R -1, to bring it into compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan, as duplexes are not allowed in an
R -1 area. He added he did not believe there should
be any significant change in the property taxes.
Attorney Meyers clarified that the County Assessor
would have been assessing the property in the past
on the use it was being put to, so there should be
no change.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley explained this rezoning was
classified non- controversial, as the action will have
no effect on the property and just brought it into

Mermaid recently had, and stated he would like to
hear the Council's views on the complaints and the
situation.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley reported the Council had
not had an opportunity to review the report filed
by the Police Department.
Mr. Hall stated he would be unavailable for the next
few weeks, but would like an opportunity to come in
and review the situation with the Council.
Mayor McCarty thanked him for his concern and asked
that Mr. Hall contact Staff when he is available to
meet with the Council.
Jan Schuldt, 7887 Spring Lake Road, asked if the City
has a policy for cutting or trimming trees at inter-
sections, mentioning specifically the intersection of
Bronson Drive and Spring Lake Park Road as being a
problem.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley replied that the Police
Department checks the intersections and advises the
Public Works Department when action is required.
Ms. Schuldt asked why there was no street light at
the intersection of Silver Lake Road and County Road
I
Mayor McCarty explained the City does not go out and
look for areas to put lights in, but rather handles
it based on petitions received from residents. He
added they will check into this particular intersection.

rezoning.
Peg Mountin, Chairman of the Planning Commission,
stated the property located at 2848 Highway 10 is
in compliance with the proposed land use map for

in compliance with the intended use and comprehensive
plan.
Mayor McCarty closed the public hearing and reopened
the regular meeting at 7:50 PM.

Glen VanWormer, a traffic engineer with Short

on Highway 10 between County Road H and County Road H2.
Mr. Balch made a presentation of the type of buildings
that might be constructed in the development.
Mary Bixler, 2235 County Road H2, asked what type of
industry was proposed.
Mr. Balch replied they will be developing the land

time what would go in, but they believe it will be
mostly offices and warehouse type buildings. He
added they hope to sell some property and possibly
build two or three buildings yet in 1984.

development.

Councilmember Doty noted that in making decisions
on issues of this nature, there will always be
contrary feelings. He stated he feels the developer
is acting very responsibly in putting the proposed
buffer in. He also noted the developer has the right
to develop his property, and this is the best proposal
the City has seen.
Mayor McCarty closed the regular meeting and opened
the second public hearing at 8:08 PM.
Sesha Komanduri stated he was a part owner of the
property at 7860 Groveland Road and pointed out
the property was R -3 when he bought it and he and
his partner would like it to remain R -3. He also
noted the building on the property is a 4 -plex,
and the other 4- plexes in the neighborhood are
not proposed for rezoning.
Mayor McCarty closed the public hearing at 8:10 PM
and reopened the regular meeting.
Attorney Meyers stated that R -2 zoning is for two
family structures or less, while R -3 is for 6- family
or less. This proposed rezoning would bring the
property into non conformance.
Frank Kampel explained the rational of the Planning
Commission recommendation was to provide a tran-
sition from Highway 10 back to the residential
neighborhood, going from R -3 to R -2 to R -1.
Mayor McCarty stated that while the planned re-
zonings were undertaken in good faith, there
appear to be areas of question that need further
research.
Motion /Second: McCarty /Blanchard to table the public
hearings for the rezonings of 7860 Groveland Road,
2840 Highway 10, 2832 Highway 10 and 2806/08 Highway 10,
until such time as the Comprehensive Plan can be searched
for consistency with the proposed rezonings.
4 ayes 0 nays
Mayor McCarty noted the Comprehensive Plan does not
give authority to the Council to rezone existing
uses, and they should go back to square one and do
it right. He added these particular rezonings will
now go back to the Planning Commission.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley explained the Planning
Commission hearings are informal, as legal hearings
are only on a Council level.
