COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DISCUSSION
The zoning class of a section of lots along the River on Main Street was questioned.
It was determined that they were probably all R-1, with some perhaps being non-
conforming. The zoning class of the green areas in Countryside is also in
question. It was noted that under the present ordinance if there is no zoning
class given or stated, then the area in question becomes R-1. Discussion followed
on the possibility of having a separate zoning classification for open space areas
or designated green areas. Larry Langland suggested that we find out what other
communities are doing with this type of land.
Fran Klaas also questioned what happens to properties on which the original
annexation agreements have expired -- does the zoning revert back to what it was
prior to the agreement? The Stark property was cited as an example. If anything
at all is done to the property, does that alter the agreement? This question
would be reviewed with the City Attorney for clarification.
Jim Olson noted that the comprehensive plan shows the Jaycee Park area as being
outside the City when it is actually within; also indicated that there were
some questions regarding boundary lines in Countryside Subdivision that needed
to be resolved.
MAYOR'S COMMENTS
The Council has voted against any further inquiry into the Hart Building. Mayor
Davidson agrees and has an alternate plan that he would like the opinion of the
Plan Commission on; provided that it Appears favorable, he will then present
it to the City Council.
At the present time the City owns three acres on Walnut; the Mayor would like
to acquire a three acre parcel behind this site (possibly a trade off of one for
the other. ) He noted that future development and expansion were being considered.
The city does not need street frontage; that could be left for prime development
possibilities. City office buildings could be located toward the center of the
parcel without any problem. The project could be accomplished in phases and
would not put undue stress on the budget. The Plan Commission was in agreement.
The Plan Commission asked what the main problems with the Hart building were; the
Mayor said that water and structural problems existed and that reconstruction
costs would be too high to justify the results.
Don Anent moved that the meeting be adjourned; Anne Lucietto gave the second.
Meeting was adjourned at 7:5F P.M.
