Mayor Pickar closed the regular meeting and opened the public hearing.
REZONING 2515 COUNTY ROAD I TO R -2 - PUBLIC HEARING
Steven Garke stated that he had lived in the area for five years and it has been
strictly a single family area and he would like it kept that way, and that he ob-
jected to the rezoning as he was afraid if the one lot was rezoned, other lots in
the area would follow suit.
Willard Graham, owner of the property, explained that it faces County Road I and
is across the street from an apartment building and next door to a double bungelow.
He added that he did not feel a new, attractive building would be out of place along
County Road I. He added that the property has a very costly sewer and water entry
and that the total cost would be too high for a single family home.
Mayor Pickar pointed out that the Planning Commission had recommended approval of
the rezoning.
Ernie Gustafson, 2525 County Road I stated he has 250' of property, which abuts Mr.
Graham's property, and that he does not object to the rezoning, nor do the Staples
or the people on the other side, in the double bungelow.
Frank Veno, 7700 Long Lake Road stated that he owns seven acres by the property
and that he also feels that the cost of sewer and water would be too high for a single
family home and that a double bungelow was the only route to go.
Mayor Pickar asked about the recommendation from the Staff to move the dwelling 21'
to the east. Administrator Achen explained that that was done to allow a road
easement, since some residents of the area had indicated they might request a road
sometime in the future.
Mr. Graham stated that a 30' dedication will be given to the City for the future road
and that the dedication could be made now.
MSP (Baumgartner - Rowley) that the Council grant the rezoning request of Willard B.
Graham, 2515 County Road I, to rezone from R -1 to R -2 as recommended by the Planning
Commission and that a 30' easement be granted to the City on the western boundry of
the property. 4 ayes
Administrator Achen recommended that the Council also take action to authorize a
development agreement.
Councilmember Rowley asked if the terms of the development agreement had been discussed
with Mr. Graham. Mr. Graham replied that they had been.
MSP (Rowley- Hodges) to authorize a development agreement to be entered into, to include
sodding, paving, concrete sidewalks, plantings, drainage to County Road I and a $1,000
bond or escrow. 4 ayes
