�-., Ylinen asked Mr. Schmedeke if theze was a possibility of holding up on
' his request for rezoning until we know if we are going to have a planner
�: ,
ma.ke a study and recommendation for this entire area.
Mr. Schmedeke asked that he be given the opportunity to explain what
transpired. He said that a year ago he had planned to rezone, but was
unable to do so because of circutnstances. Council informed him to proceed
with the rezoning through the regular channels, He felt hi,s rezoning request
was not for something new because he had had his business before the zoning
ordinance map was incorporated. He had pictures of his property before the
tomado took his building and his present one. He said he did not wish to
withdraw or delay his request.

dwellings.

Acting Chairman Erickson informed hi.m that any citizen is entitled to
a hearing for rezoning no matter what he wishes. However, the Cou�ission
� is not in a position to give an opinion before a public hearing unless, per-
haps, they could say they could not go along with the request.
�' The property, Mr. Momchilovich said, has been vacant all the time,
and now there are no trees because of the tornado. He has an exit from
the Highway at the South end of the propertp.
The fact was brought up that once before a request was made for com-
mercial and the public hearing was held and the request denied. .

It was noted that Lot 1, Brookview Addition is not served by any utilitie:
and access is by Channel road by an old easement. In the proposed plan, one
building will be placed on Lot 1 on the North side of the Creek, and a
retaining wall will be constructed. A suggestion was made if it might not
be feasible to tile because of the terrain. It was felt Aro Industries
should bring in a topog map in order to study better placing of utilities
and flood plain areas. The area in question is about 32 acres. The Com-
mission felt a sketch should be presented including the placing of the
buil.dings so that they could get a little better idea of the property lines.

8. RICE CREEK ROAD/CENTRAL AVENUE PLAN: Referred by Plats & Subdivisions-
Streets & Utilities Subcommittee.
The letter dated January 17, 1968 from Rev. Douglas M. Henderson, Chair-
man of the Official Board of the Peoples Church was referred to by Acting
Chairman Erickson.
The Commission was told that the Plats & Subdivisions-Streets & Utilities
Subcommittee tried to achieve a street pattern for the ultimate development
� of the area. They are reco�ending where the roads should go and temporary
cul de sacs were put in as a necessity at the present time to avoid splitting
��-� some of the parcels. The Engineering Assistant said Mr. Morley had returned
� and expressed his approval of the plan.
Member Jensen (Chairman of the Plats & Subdivisions-Streets & Utilities
Subcommittee) explained that it has taken a year and a lot of study has
gone into it. One of the beauties of this plan is that, with relatively
little cooperation between neighbors, a large number of individuals,beyond
those that have already expressed the desire to develop something, can pro-
ceed with the division of their property along the lines of this plan. We
have had a series of ineetings dealing with every objection, and'except Rev.
Henderson, it seems to be the only remaining objection to be resolved. The
Subcommittee is convinced that even with the extreme topography in this
area, the plan can be developed.
Acting Chairman Erickson wished to compliment the Subcommittee on the
work they have done. In discussing the exit on Central Avenue, Jensen
said the Subcommittee examined every possibility, and considered the exit
on the p�oposed plan as the most desirable. He added that it is not impos-
sible to go some other way, but there are definite drawbacks.
Mr. 0`Bannon stated that it was last year when he came.in witih hia
problem, and it was his opinion that the Subcommittee did a wonderful job
in putting a road plan thr.ough the area. This plan can be used in the
�1
future, and it has d�ne wonders for the area -- keep it that way.
