PZC 2017-12 Mark Southern will no longer pursue this project requiring rezoning and variance for setbacks. The Commission discussed this request and asked if the petitioner is seeking another location. Ms. Dubajic said he would only consider other river property at this time and that he would donate time for cleanup of the area for 1 year if a Friends of the Park group would organize. Mr. Olson was also concerned that angry citizens at the last meeting indicated the City was trying to “sneak” in the project Mr. Southern proposed. It was suggested that a very large sign regarding hearing dates would be beneficial to be more visible to the public. Commissioners also said there were too many uncertainties regarding the project as presented and their decision was based on the limited information. 3. Downtown-Overlay District Streetscape Master Plan and Form Based Code Ms. Barksdale-Noble said interviews have been conducted for a firm to study zoning and architectural standards for the Comprehensive Plan. Work is scheduled to begin in December. Adjournment There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned at 7:22pm on a motion by Commissioners Marcum and Vinyard, respectively.

Good evening . itosh Reporting Service 815 . 993 . 2832 cros . vitosh@gmail . com 6 1 My name is Ryan Swanson . I am with 2 ARC Design Resources , engineer, and I am here on 3 behalf of Dave and Debbie Coffman . They are 4 seeking to annex into the city . 5 Tonight before you we are seeking 6 basically a rezoning from the R-1 , which is the 7 automatic zoning for annexation when brought into 8 the City, to B-3 . 9 The B-3 is -- technically it ' s 10 already in an existing County B-3 zoning; this 11 would just be kind of a follow up with that 12 zoning title , so it ' s really they are seeking 13 zoning which would be suitable for their 14 business , and really we are just here to answer 15 any questions or anything related to the project . 16 Essentially, just by way of 17 location, this is the proposed Casey ' s in color, 18 and just to the west , right here , is the Coffman 19 property . 20 CHAIRMAN GOINS : Is there anyone present 21 who wishes to speak in favor of the request? 22 No response . ) 23 CHAIRMAN GOINS : Is there anyone present 24 who wishes to speak in opposition to the itosh Reporting Service 815 . 993 . 2832 cms . vitosh@gmail . com 7 1 request? 2 No response . ) 3 CHAIRMAN GOINS : I would ask for proof 4 of notice of this hearing and a summation by the 5 City staff . 6 MR. ENGBERG : Yeah, so in your packets , 7 kind of what the memo is , it ' s pretty 8 straightforward . This is about annexation to the 9 City . 10 Per our Comprehensive Plan, it ' s 11 pretty similar to the Casey ' s . In our 12 Comprehensive Plan this small area is actually 13 considered for big density residential , but there 14 is language within the Comprehensive Plan talking 15 about commercial improvements along your major 16 arterials , whether it be 34 or 47 , and obviously 17 with Casey ' s going in, they are kind of 18 hand-in-hand for moving utilities underneath the 19 property . 20 There is a well right on the 21 property line with Coffman ' s , so the Casey ' s 22 needs to move that ; they are going to help them 23 with water and sanitary sewer, so this is just 24 part of that whole process . itosh Reporting Service 815 . 993 . 2832 cms .vitosh@gmail . com 8 1 CHAIRMAN GOINS : Do any Commission 2 members have questions of the petitioner? 3 MR . MARCUM : So we are talking about 4 water and sewer utilities are the ones that need 5 to be moved? 6 MR . ENGBERG : Mm-hum. 7 MR. SWANSON : Actually, yeah, installed . 8 As Jason mentioned, currently their well is 9 literally right on the property line, which 10 creates some issues for us in terms of the 11 proximity and the environmental safety, you know, 12 with our underground storage tank and the 13 dispensers, so one of the ideas was really to get 14 them on water, which then follows with sewer, and 15 obviously annexation required for really both, 16 but this is just kind of a natural process . 17 I think it makes sense . Obviously 18 it ' s an operating business , you know, currently, 19 they are currently operating, so it seemed like a 20 reasonable solution, and they were willing to, 21 you know, join the city as well, so . . . 22 MR . ENGBERG : I canggothrough each of 23 the criteria that you need for rezoning, they ' ve 24 got it here and there . 9itosh (Reporting Service 815 . 993 . 2832 cms .vitosh@gmail . com 9 1 MS . NOBLE : You can just ask him if he 2 wants -- 3 MR. ENGBERG: Oh . Did you want to enter 4 in the record the rezoning standards on the 5 application for rezoning? 6 MR . SWANSON : In terms of the -- 7 MS . NOBLE : Your responses to the 8 standards , would you like to enter them into the 9 public record? 10 MR . SWANSON : Yes . 11 CHAIRMAN GOINS : Do you have any other 12 questions , Members? 13 No response . ) 14 CHAIRMAN GOINS : Since all public 15 testimony regarding this petition has been taken, 16 may I have a motion to close the taking of public 17 testimony in this public hearing? 18 MR .
