PC91-13 -- ANNEX & ZONE TO R-3, LOTS 9 & 10 OF UNIT ONE, COUNTRYSIDE SUBDIVISION
BY SCHIFFLEGER/FUNK - MORE INFORMATION REGARDING PC91-8
Mr. Schiffleger presented the revised proposal for the construction of one duplex
unit on the lots noted above. He stated that this was within the guidelines of
present duplex zoning with regard to setbacks, density requirements, etc.
Chairman Feltz referred to the June minutes noting that during the Public Hearing
the citizens in attendance had originally opposed the construction of the
townhouse units citing property value decline, congestion, aesthetic value and
structure type; it was the opinion of those present that duplex units would be
acceptable. He also stated that Plan Commission members Davidson, Lindbloom and
Holdiman said that the area was better suited to single family residence use.
It was also noted that the proper zoning for the duplex construction was R-21);
Mr. Schiffleger said that none of the original paperwork had been redone, but that
he agreed to the R-2D designation.
Mr. Clarage asked if the lots noted in the petition were the only lots under
consideration. Mr. Schiffleger stated that only lots 9 & 10 needed to be zoned
and annexed; the other three lots for which the petition had been tabled would
be a down zoning request from 110" office to R-3 residential. Mr. Clarage pointed
out that the subject lots were situated right in the middle of the entire area
involved. It was his opinion that the entire plan should be available for review
and that consideration should be given to a buffer area. It was also a consideration
that the entire block could be a series of duplex units.
Mr. Schiffleger commented that present lot prices were prohibitive to the developer
for the construction of single family residences. Discussion followed on the value
of the residence relative to the valuation of the land. It was also that some of
the concerns of neighbors in the area voiced during the June Public Hearing were
directed more to the situation that could exist with the larger townhouse units.

Comments were offered on the position of the garages and driveways and on which
way would be best. Present plans show the garages on either end of the unit and
appear to be preferable to having a large concrete/paved area in the center.
Mr. Clarage stated that the Plan Commission had to make a decision based on the
overall density and land use in the area. At the time lots 11, 12 & 16 are again
presented the duplex construction could be justified based on them being a buffer
between the nursing home and single family residence area. The request on lots
9 & 10 would be considered spot zoning as the situation now exists.
Tom Lindbloom noted that with lots 11, 12 & 16 now having office zoning, the
construction of the duplex unit on lots 9 & 10 could actually be considered a
buffer between existing residential and business zoning. Chairman Feltz again
pointed out that it was the opinion of the neighbors in the area that a duplex
would be acceptable. Larry Langland commented that this would be contained to
the now existing open lots. All others in the area are currently built upon.
Mr. Schiffleger stated that he had had a lengthy discussion with all concerned after
the June Public Hearing. It could not be determined whether or not the notices of
the petition being on tonight's agenda had been sent to the relative citizens in
the area. At any rate, the decision of the Plan Commission could be based on all
previous input and any changes discussed at this meeting.
The question of sidewalks was presented. It was noted that the project would
conform to the required standards related to sidewalks, curbs, utilities, etc.
With regard to side yard, it was noted that the requirements would be met with the
existing plan.
Anne Lucietto made the motion to approve the annexation and zoning to R-2D of
lots 9 & 10 of Unit One, Countryside Subdivision subject to meeting the requirements
of normal new construction including sidewalks, curbs, and utility placements.
The second was given by Sandy Adams. Roll call vote carried as follows:
Ament - yes Langland - yes Adams - yes Lindbloom - yes
Coltman - yes Lucietto - yes Feltz - yes Stewart - yes
PC91-14 -- P.U.D. AGREEMENT AMENDMENT - BARRY NILES - PRAIRIE PARK
Barry Niles presented the proposed amendment to his PUD development. Originally
lots 12 through 23 were designated as duplex lots. Mr. Niles showed the present
layout and described how lot 24 would be better suited to duplex use than to single
family. There is a natural boundary formed by the tree line that separates the
duplex area. Leaving lot 24 as single family would "not conform to the area; it
would be prohibitive to the sale of the lot.
Mr. Niles also gave some background information as how the original duplex lots
were determined as to number and positioning in the development.
There were no adverse comments offered by members of the Plan Commission. Larry
Langland made the motion to recommend the approval of the amendment to the PUD
changing lot #24 to R-2D duplex zoning. Tom Lindbloom gave the second.

All members of the Plan Commission now have copies of the existing comprehensive

give all members time to consider the plan and offer relative comments.
With no further discussion apparent, Chairman Feltz asked for a motion to adjourn.
The motion was made by Don Ament; the second was given by Tom Lindbloom. The
August meeting of the Plan Commission was adjourned at 7:45 p.m.
