PRESENT: Peltier, Atkinson, Schwab, Vail, McAllister Attorney Johnson and Engineer Kuusisto RICHARD GRANGER - REZONING Mr. Granger is proposing the rezoning of 50 acres from RRI and SFE to the SFU district in Section 31 , Bald Eagle Lake area. Let the record that the requirements of Chapter 320 have been complied with. Planning Commission chairman, Ken Lorch, was present, and briefed the Council as to what had transpired at the public hearing. In general, the people present objected to the following: too small of lot size, homes would be smaller than those existing, too many people and congestion, creation of more traffic. Mr. Lorch felt that the Comprehensive Plan was agreeable with the rezoning because of the availability of sanitary sewer. Mr. Granger displayed an enlarged sketch of the property to be rezoned, and stated that the Comprehensive Plan calls for that density zoning in that area. He also felt that SFU would be the best use of this piece of property. Mayor McAllister took a hand vote of the people present at the meeting, and it was the general concensus that the majority would not object to one acre lots. Mr. Markeson presented the Council with a signed document expressing the concerns of the community if the property to be rezoned, and stated that not all present were necessarily in favor of one acre lots. Tim Wright, 12133 Everton felt that the rezoning would alter the lifestyle as it presently exists, as well decrease the home values. Mr. Granger could not determine what type of housing would be on the property, but it would be a mixture. McAllister stated that a variety of housing already exists in that area. A resident asked whether Mr. Granger was aware of the zoning when he bought the pro- perty, and he answered affirmatively. Tony Bloomer, 12471 Ethan Avenue, was concerned that the balance of George Jungblut's property could be rezoned to smaller lot sizes. He also felt that progress could not be prevented, and that most people would not object to one acre lots. Bill Williams, 12550 Europa, stated that if the property were to be rezoned, area could produce as many as 350 children. It was his opinion that the new area would have no recreational area for the children and that they would lose their privacy. Judy Schoeller, 4995 121st Street, stated that the questionnaire submitted in 1979, relative to the city's Comprehensive Plan, indicated that the people of Hugo wanted it to remain basically rural in nature. Mayor McAllister stated that the city would give consideration to possibly making concessions to the subdivision ordinance in order to accomplish a satisfactory end for everyone. McAllister advised Mr. Granger that he had three options available to him that night: ask the Council to table the request for a certain time, re- quest that the Council take action on the application that night, or withdraw his application. Let the record show that Mr. Richard Granger requested the Council to table his application for 90 days so that the Council could have more time to con- sider the situation. 83 September 21, 1983 NOTION: McAllister made motion, Peltier seconded, that the matter of the Richard Granger rezoning of 50 acres be tabled until December 5, 1983, at 6:00 PM, at which time a special meeting will be held to consider the matter.
