There are setbacks provided for in the zoning code, so the Council has given protection unless there is also a nonbuildable buffer zone. MS (Shelquist - Rowley) to amend the motion to include Lot 23 as an R -3 zoned lot. Atty. Meyers stated that if the motion does not include the townhouse development the developer would have to get a special use permit at a later time. If the motion says townhouses, only townhouses can be built. Councilmember Baumgartner stated he asked that Lot 23 be R -1 because there is a single family home right next to it. He felt the owner of that house would object to having a townhouse right next to him. Anyone buying Lot 23 will know there is an R -3 lot right next door. Admin. Achen pointed out that if Lot 23 was zoned R -3 it could be included as a buffer, but not if it is zoned R -1. Roll call vote: Councilmember Shelquist, aye Councilmember Hodges, aye Councilmember Baumgartner, nay Councilmember Rowley, aye Mayor Pickar, nay Motion to amend failed. MSP (Shelquist- Hodges) to amend the motion to grant the request for a special use permit to build townhouses on that property and give the petitioner 180 days as recommended by the Planning Commission, to submit the plans for the development, and to negotiate a development contract and post bonds as required by the contract. Roll call vote: Councilmember Shelquist, aye Councilmember Hodges, aye Councilmember Baumgartner, aye Councilmember Rowley, aye Mayor Pickar, nay Motion to amend passed. Atty. Meyers explained that the motion now on the floor would zone Lots 8 -22 as R -3 and Lots 4 -7 and 23 would remain as R -1. Admin. Achen suggested that Council make some kind of finding on what the development should be on Lot 23 if it is to be zoned R -1 and not developed as a single family home. An R -1 zoning does not prohibit townhouse developments. Roll call vote: Councilmember Shelquist, nay Councilmember Hodges, nay Councilmember Baumgartner, aye Councilmember Rowley, nay Mayor Pickar, nay Main motion failed. CouncilmembersShelquist and Rowley stated they voted nay because of Lot 23.
