Councilman Baumgartner asked if he had specifically offered his
property for sale as R -1 and Mr. Gustafson replied that he had an
appraiser look at it. They are getting almost too valuable to put
single family homes there.
Councilman Baumgartner stated that as far as it remaining R -1 I don't
think you would have a problem on the properties pointing west. The
properties pointing east would be looking into the apartment buildings
and they are not that bad looking. Possibly on the south end you could
build a duplex on the south and north property lines and a buffer
(fencing, etc.) to screen from adjoining R -1 property. The duplexes
would be facing the Bel Rae. Would you consider that suggestion?
Mr. Gustafson replied no, as they are not talking about that particular
land right now.
Councilman Baumgartner stated that he would agree with Mr.Shelquist then.
Councilman Shelquist asked what the request is that we are acting upon
tonight? The original request to the Planning Commission was to rezone
lots 5 -23 to R -2. The administrator replied that the hearing is on
4 lots. He originally requested rezoning of all parcels.
Mr. Gustafson stated that they had wanted to rezone all of it at the
same time but did not have enough money. They will go for these 4 lots
and go from there.
Councilman Baumgartner stated that if these 4 lots are zoned to R -2,
the request will be for the rest of them in another six months.
Acting Mayor HODGES SUGGESTED perhaps taking another look at this
and coming up with some plan. They should stick with the single
family there.
Mr. Gustafson stated that he was sorry to hear this negative talk.
He has tried to develop this before. He cannot hold the land anymore,
he has tried to develop it for what it is worth; you allowed the
apartments to come in right across the street.
MSP (Pickar - Shelquist) to close the public hearing. 4 ayes
Attorney Meyers stated that this is a hearing for an R -2 zoning
and that is just for Lots 4 -7 as indicated, advertised and agreed
upon by the owners. There were 18 notices sent out, excluding those
properties owned by Mr. Gustafson.
There are 5 home owners present and against it.
MSP (Shelquist - Baumgartner) that we deny the rezoning from Ri to R2
for Lots 4 -7 Block 3 of Greenfield Plat 2 for the reason that it is
inconsistent with the immediate adjacent R -1 residential district,
there would be an adverse effect on the value of the property of
those homeowners affected immediately adjacent, increased density
would have an adverse effect as well as traffic congestion, and it
is spot rezoning.
