of the developer as well as the city. Mayor Johnson asked for any
comment regarding this issue. There being none, the public hearing
was moved to the next issue.
Administrator Nanninga indicated that the next issue is for the
proposed amendments to the R-3 and R-4 General Residential District
of the Zoning ordinance. These amendments will reduce the
densities on R-3 from seven to five units per gross acre. This
would be conforming to much of the new development coming into the
city. R-4 would be amended from 12 to eight units per gross acre.
These changes will not effect anyone who has already signed an
agreement with the city.
Marty Schwartz addressed the council asking if this will effect
their property located on Hydraulic and Morgan. Attorney Kramer
indicated it would not since there already is a PUD Agreement in
place for this property.

effect the eight acres they have not yet developed. Attorney

improvements to the property and would not want it effected
