serve as a buffer between commercial property on #10 and residential property
is to subject more people to a commercial zoning than you would if you did not
buffer it. Mr. A. R. Goettsch, 5229 O'Connell Drive, stated that he was in the
building trade and has seen how run down double bungalows can get. Mrs. William
Lake, 5259 O'Connell Drive, asked to have the commercial property on #10 changed
to residential.
Mr. Eigenheer explained that his proposal would make the area better by constructing
a two family residence than by attempting to divide the lots thereby constructing
two or three single family homes. He stated that the price of the double bungalow
would be between $45,000 and $50,000.
Residents expressed the desire to know who would buy the lot South of the double
bungalow and across the street. Mrs. Haake, 1740 County Road I, wanted to know
if Mr. Eigenheer had planned on straddling the easement with his double bungalow.
He explained that by building a double bungalow he would be using two lots, and
not just the lot the easement is on.
Mayor Neisen asked whether there was anyone in the audience who spoke in favor of
the proposal. No one stood up in favor. Mayor Neisen closed the hearing at 9:05
P.M.
Councilman Pickar asked if Mr. Eigenheer was planning on building on Lot 3 this
year. Mr. Eigenheer explained that he had plans to develop all remaining single
family lots in the area this year.
Councilman Pickar asked whether there had been any complaints on weeds on the lots
last year. Mayor Neisen confirmed that there were complaints and that they were
turned over to the Weed Inspector.
Councilman Baumgartner asked Mr. Eigenheer if the easement was put in before the
property was bought. Mr. Eigenheer stated that it was put in after. Councilman
Baumgartner asked if it would not be better to make three 75 foot lots. Mr.
Eigenheer explained that the area would look worse and that the Planning Commission
may not go along with the proposal. He said it would be fine with him. Councilman
Johnson asked whether Mr. Eigenheer had received payment for the easement. Mr.
Eigenheer replied "no ".
Councilman Hodges stated that he could see a double bungalow as a buffer but that
he felt he must consider the desire of the people living there.
Attorney Meyers advised the Council that prior to a vote on the proposal they
should consider it relative to health, safety and welfare, and that if they
were to deny the proposal it must be on those grounds. In addition he stated
that a 4/5's vote was needed for passage.
