PC-86-7 - Petition to rezone from R-1 to R-2, 0.443 acre parcel on E. Main St. (Willman & Groesch) Chairman Groner stated that the order of business would be to consider a petition from Frank Willman and Rick Groesch to rezone a 0.443 acre parcel on E. Main St. from R-1 to R-2. Comments were made in the public hearing concerning the petition. Mr. Langland stated that he did not see any reason not to approve the petition. If they rezone, it will fit with the zoning ordinance. There will be enough square footage. He would like to add to the request that they give the City some easements on the sides, front, and back of the property, so that there will be area to run possible water and sewer lines, which would not hinder the building on the property. Mr. Langland recommended that 10 foot easements be required on the front and both sides of the lot, and that a 20 foot easement be required on the back of the property for drainage and utility easements, so that the City may have some protection in the future. Mr. Langland made a motion to recommend to the City Council to approve the rezoning from R-1 to R-2 with the above provision. Mr. Beaudry seconded the motion. Mr. Willman stated that he will complete the sidewalk across the entire frontage of the lot. Mr. Langland amended his motion to include the sidewalk across the total frontage of the lot.

AT CTIY HALL Chairman Groner called the public hearing to order. Members in attendance were Mr. Groner, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Langland, Mr. Feltz, Mrs. Price, Mr. Beaudry, and Mr. Holdiman. A quorum was present. Also present were Dennis Fahrlander, Jim Hayden, Mr. & Mrs. Frank Willman, Mr. & Mrs. Rick Groesch, Attorney Tom Cross, Jim Clarage, Robert Davidson, Larry Small, Bill Radke, and Daniel Foley. Chairman Groner stated that the purpose of the public hering was to discuss the petition from Frank Willman and Rick Groesch to rezone a 0.443 acre parcel on E. Main St. from R-1 to R-2. Leon Brummel owns the property. The adjacent property owners were notified by certified mail. The necessary filing fee has been submitted to the City Clerk along with the appropriate number of copies. Attorney Tom Cross was present to represent the petitioner. He stated the request from R-1 to R-2 is due to the lot sizes. The R-1 classification requires them to have 2 1/2 acres, and the lot size of the parcel is less than 1/2 an acre. Mr. Langland inquired as to whether the lot was cut off from a larger piece of the McHugh property, or whether it is an existing lot. Mr. Willman stated that it is part of a 5 acre piece, which he does not own. The entire property belongs to Mr. Brummel, and he has an agreement to purchase the one lot contingent upon its rezoning. Mr. Willman stated that there is water and sewer. Jim Hayden, an adjacent property owner, stated that he did not mind a house built next to him. The lot is the same size as his. His concern was that a precedent would be set for the rest of the parcels. He questioned how many more houses could be built by dividing the 5 acre plot. He would rather see the entire area developed as a unit to solve the water situation. Mr. Langland stated that the water probelm in the area was addressed at an earlier meeting of the Plan Commission. He wanted to know when and who would take care of the water problem. Mr. Willman stated that they only want to do the one lot. His understanding from a conversation he had with the city attorney was that the 5 acre parcel could only be broke off of once, and if they wish to break it off again, they must have a planned development. Attorney Cross stated that there was discussion for a possible subdivision to the north. When they go to do that subdivision, they will take care of the water and storm with piping. A 36 inch pipe may be needed to handle the water. Mr. Willman's intention is not to go one house at a time in order to avoid putting the piping in. Mr. Langland stated that the next owner may want to go one house at a time. He felt that there was no way to stop them with cutting up the other parcels. .L Mr. Langland did not feel that the proposed lot would effect the water problem. Mr. Stewart stated that the other owners could put houses up one at a time all the way around the center of the property, and nothing would be done with the water. Mr. Johnson stated that they can only develop so far on the one parcel. They are only allowed one split by the plat act on the 5 acres, and each of those were already split into 5 acre units. If they want to split again, they will have to come before the Plan Commission to get it subdivided. Mr. Clarage recommended that 10 ft. easements be put along the front and both sides of the lot and a 20 ft. easement be put along the back of the lot for storm water drainage and utility easements. The easements should be recorded with the lot as a condition to provide some protection so nothing gets locked in. The easements would not effect the usability of the lot. Mr. Johnson stated that there are building set backs of approximately 30 ft. anyway. Mr. Feltz inquired as to whether the remaining 4 acres could be sold off one parcel at a time. Mr. Johnson stated that they would have to resubdivide it first unless it was sold back to the previous owner or an adjacent property owner. Daniel Foley, adjacent home owner, stated that he was concerned with what will go on the property in the future. He would not like to see one house go in at a time. It is a residential area with older homes and a good neighborhood, and he would like it kept that way. Mr. Langland stated that the area would remain residential. Bob Davidson stated that the area has been divided into 5 acre parcels and that each of the 5 acre parcels are entitled to one split. If they want to subdivide again, they will have to follow the Subdivision Control Ordinance, which would include curbs, sidewalks, etc.. Mr. Hayden stated that each parcel has to be 2 1/2 acres to build a house on under R-1 zoning. Mr. Stewart made a motion to adjourn the public hearing and reconvene into the regular meeting of the Plan Commission. Mr. Langland seconded the motion. All members were in favor. The public hearing was closed. Debbie Robertson, Rec. Secretary
