there were eight units for the west portion anci twa units for the east
' p�rtion. He stated staff proposed an alternate glan to break the units into
three clusters, instead of one long linear bmlding. He stated with this
plan, three units would be located on the east portion, four unit� f acing

add to the beauty of the area.
Cotmcilman Schneider asked if thc� had loc�ked at single fam�ly develognent
with a shared driveaay as suggested at the Flamm�g Coiranission meeting.
Mr. Harmsen stated it was econanically impractical to construct four si ngl e
£�nily hanes on this site. He state� no one would spend $120,000 to $150,00
for a hcme and have a shared drive,vay.

hanes on this site.
Mr. Harmsen stated it didn't make sense to have single family homes anc7
looking at land costs, Yhe trees should be saved and the only way to proceed
is with a taanhouse project.

their area that would ob�ect to taking down the trees and constructing
single f�nily hanes.

Commissaon meeting and felt what keeps coming up is Einancial
considerations. He stated this 1s the develorxr's problan, not ihe City's.

knaaing this site was zoned R-1. He felt it could be developed as R-1 with
sane different �lans and shared driveaays.

stated since this time, they have had thF a�rtments constructeci to the

to the traffic on Lucia Lane. He stateci it �s impossible to get o�at of
their drivaaays on a bingo m 9ht at the YC Hall. He felt with ten more
tmits, there would k�e 20 more cars. Mr. Youn� stated he would like this
resolved once and for all to keep the zoning as F.-l.
N�yor Nee stated there isn't any way to make it permanently unquestional�ly
R-1 since it is a citizen's right to petition for a rezomng, if he sa
desi res.

question is haa much profit a person should make and if he should build
single family hanes.

traffic in front of her hane and it was too many hanes in a sriall area.

there is alrea� a ditch. He felt if it is done prcperly, it shoulchi't kae a
problen.

this site would 6e more detrimental because there would be more blacktop,
hence greater water runoff, and a higher density. FIe stated a cammercial
use could cover 40� of the �rcel glus a Farking lot which would maKe the
wverage ahout 70�.
Nlr. Schwartz stated he would like to see single farrr�ly hornes c�n this site
and dicLi't like so marr� units in a resident�al ne�yhborhooci. He felt it may
' devalue his property.

you need a fairly e�ensive use.
Mrs. Schwartz stated before the� bought their home four montt?s ago, they
checked on the adaacent zoning. She statec if it had been zonec� for
multigle use, thc� would not have purchased their hane. She felt con�nieric,�l
uses are generally busy during the day haurs, but close in the everung.
Mrs. Schwartz felt the density was hic� oonsidering the other lots in the
area. She also felt Old Central was busy naa and this developnent woulc� acd
adaitianal traffic.
Ms. LaUonne Kowski, 6391 Central Avenue, stated she would rather have a
business located on this site than the 1�+ tavnhouses. She felt this w�s a
large amourit of peogle for the size of the g�rcel. I�s. Kowski state� she
was wncerned because her property is lck�er anu she sometimes has Wc1tEL in
her la�sement. She also stated she was ooncernec� abaut the traffic.
P7rs. Schwartz stated when they appeared before tr.e Planning Commission,
there were 14 neighbors ogposed and yet the vote of the Commission was

Mr. Qureshi pointed out a business oould r�n several shifts. He felt this
was the first time he could recall where a neiyhbarhood preferred commerical
develognent rather than residential.
Mrs. Rau stated she cannot accept 38 plus people in this small area and
these persons will have boats, snaamobiles, etc. and wondered where thEy
would put then.
Cotmci.lman Schneider asked the residents what they felt was a reasonable
ciensi ty.
NLs. Kowaski stated she dic3i't feel thc� shGUld put in 19 townhouses in an
area only four times larger than her lot. She felt if the proposal was for
an office, gas station, or convem ence stare, she wouldn't have ary
� ob�c-�tion. She stated she knecv when she purchased her property that there
was ad�aoerit commercial property.
Ms. Caleran, 6401 Central A�enue, felt there are too marag umts pro�osed ior
this Farcel and would irivade her privacy as her proFerty would be visible to

Mr. Mochinski stated all the levels are 1-1/2 stor� es in the rezr urad the
two stones don't face arr3 yards.
Mrs. Rau asked if petitions fran the neiqhborhood were submitted if this

two plats, (.Yeekridge and Hidden Woods, and obtain the Gena Rae parcel for
this and also �wide a razd. He stated the plan approved by the Council
�wided the best Fark space and wnnection to the two plats.
Cotmcilman Schneider stated the reason it was connected was because of the
Staff's reooimnendation.
Mr. Qureshi stated it was the desire to provide a road and it was
canstructed in the most logical location which left the most amount of
useable �rk land. He stated if it is the Council's desire to assess
�arcels C and D, you have to provide access to them. He stated if the
Co�mcil prwides access and still sells the lot to someone, it didn't make
sense fran a glanning point of view, as the Code would not allcra anything to
be built on this triangular piece of property. Mr. Qureshi stated the
original, ptoposal was not to sell the Faroel, but �w ide an easenent to the
roadvay.
Mr. Ralph Skinner, 6217 Central Auenue, felt if this paxcel was to be
� disposed of in ar�y fashion, other than to go back to the former aaner, it
should be Fut � for bids. He stated he would be hapg,� to bid at least
$10,000 for this parcel and would use it as a lever with Tom Brickner
regarding his property on Old Central and Heather Place.
Co�mcilman Schneider stated he is not trying to condone developers buying
property to pre�ent the other one frwn developing. He stated he is not
tryinq to obstruct develognent of two or four homes, but he is concerned
about the fairness when the Ci.ty takes property for one Fur�se and changes
the use and, because it is an excess parcel, not giving the one they
ao3ui.ted it fraa the first oppozt�mity to have it.
Mr. Flora stated the Coimcil adciressed part of fihe issue in the assessment.
He stated thEy ide�ified tax assessnents against the parcel as far as it
being a future buildatle lot. He stated they probably didn't address the
specific issue of the triangular piece of pro�rty.
N�. Richard Brickner, the petitioner, stated he is willing to purchase the
land, pay the Fark fees and all assessnents. He stated the question on the
fairness is for the Coimcil to decide.
Nk�yor Nee asked Mr. Brickner what he would do with the land if he couldn't
reoeive access.
Mr. Briclaxer stated he would still like to plat Lots A and B and keep C and
� D as outlots.
Mr. Richacd Podvin, 1391 Mississippi Street, stated at the July 7 meeting,

Q4�

���
� Mr. Herrick indicated those Faroels had already been assessed, therefore,
the Ciiy must gi.ve access. He felt this position misled the Council. He
stated, as of last Frida.y, these assessnertts haven't been lev ied until the
glat is apprwed b,T the Coimcil.
I�. Fbdvin stated he is seeking a legal opinion f or this property to be
returned to the aaner, before it was taken tr� eniner�t dcsnain proceedings, or
fot this parcel to be 7oined with the �ark.
Cotmcilman Schneider stated it seans the issue is the lec�.timate clisposaJ. of
land that was condenned and not used.
Mt. N6vman, Assistant CS.ty Attorney, stated unless there are restrictions
contained in the final court order, there has to be a puhlic purpose and, at
the time, it was intended to aoquire the parcel for park purposes. He
stated thete aze situations wheze plans have been c3ranged and that being the
case, the Statute allaas it to be declared surglus and sold. He stated he
understands the City aoquired fee title to the property and it is his
opinion the City would be ahle to grant an easenent.
Coimcilman Schneider asked Mr. Newman's o�nion on har this surplus paxcel
should be hanc�ed.
Mr. Navman stated the Coimcil is not reqtu red L� State 1 aw to go to publ ic
� bidding. He stated for certain policy reasons, if an individual lot is
�ilcl�ble, the City may wish to solicit bids. He stated when you have a
�rce]. that is not buildahle, it is a imique situation. Mr. NEwman cited
the case of the propezty along i-694 which was turned back to the awner in
order to make productive use of the property. Ae stated there have been
instances in the �xst where the City has aaquired property through the
wndemnation Faocess and sold it to other parties, providing there are no
restrictions in the deed or court order awarding the condemnation. Mr.
Newman stated, in that case, the lots were buildable and it was in the best
interests of the City to obtain bids. He stated in a g�xcel that is not
buildable, the Cotmcil has to make a decision if thc� should place it on the
open market or allow it to be 7oined with other property to make it
buildable.
Mz. F`loxa stated the Gena Rae plat has never been platted since the City
aaiuired it and if, for e�mmple, the broken line is eluninated, the issue �
the triangle beoanes a mute point.
Ms. Fhty Loschy, 1399 66th Avenue, stated she was disappointed the elected
officials di�'t knaw what the� did with their park gtoperty. She stated
the park is adequate, but not so adequate they can thraa a triangle away
here and there. She stated she has a hard time dealing with the City
aoquiring property fran one taxpayer and turning it ov er to another for
free. She stated to be practical, she can see that Mr. Brickner will be
given the easanerit. Ms. Los�y suggested perhaps A and B wuld be used for
� hanes and C and D purchased fran Mr. Brickner for a�assive area of the park
where �xic�ic tahles could be prwided. She felt the3 should have something
to canpensate for the sFace heing used f or the holchng pond. She stated she

� hoped the Council appreci.ated the fact that the neic�l�orhood needs some �rk
s�ce, and a great deal of the land acquired for park is not useable for
�rk s�ce.
Ms. Nhry Laather, 1472 66th A�enue, stated she is against a park on both
sides of the street as she felt it was a hazard to children She stated she
would like to see hanes facing the �rk for the safety of the children and
to txy and cut down on the vandalisn.
Mr. Joe Menth, 1388 66th Avenue, stated he would like to see the City
aoquire Farcels A, B, C and D to ex�nd the Fark. He stated he agreed with
Ms. 7�aler that having children running across the street wuld create some
prohlens. He felt if the tot lot was located in the area of the C and D
�arcels, it would help keep the children off the street as this is a mcer
area than where it is nav located.
Mr. Podvin stated if the tot lot was mwed to the north side of the street,
there are a lot of children on 66th Avenue and in the Brickner develognent
so you would have no worse of a situation than there is naa.
Coimcilman Schneider stated he believed some serious mistakes were made in
the develognent of this area. He f elt drainage probl �ns were created and
thouc�t the� were putting in a three acre park and it is only 2.2 acres
including the hnlding pond. He stated apFarently falks are suffering f ran
� the City not working together. He felt it may be reasonable to aoquire
�arcels C and D and if this doesn't happen, the triangle pi ece should be
opened to bids.
Mr. Jon Gottwald, 1415 Mississippi Street, stated the City could have
purchased their land without condemning it, but there never were any
negotiations.
