�lannir� Commisaion Meeting - October 10� 1968 _
� The Commiseion ielt the eize o� the lot after the aplit rras not
psrtiaularly out of line for thie area. Mr. Fitzpstriok noted that
building a eingle family reaidenae (R-1) in an 8-3 zone would be going
up, not dowri.
De�;rrel Clark eaid this request for a variance was eex�t by Couaail to
the Board of Appeale to eee if they would grant a variance befor� the
request for a lot split wae made eo that it wauld not be �ecesaary to pa�r
the ].ot eplit fee of �15.00 if the varianae would aot be �4nted.
The Chsirm�n said there was no objection on the eise of the lote�
even though they are below the minimum atandarda, bnt uad�r t6�
inconeietancy of the rezoning, it eeemed to him granting �► �raziaDO� and
wa►ivir�g the rezoning on ths,t lot, would be in line.
MOTION by Jensen� aeconded by Myhra, that the Planuing CoaQi�sion
reaommend to Council denial of the Lot Split requeat (L.S. �68-16)
Robext Wilson, Lot 1, Block 4, Wileon Addition. Before the vots �+sre
taken, there wae f�rther�diecussion.
Mr. Mtryra eaid the Commiesion felt it wa,e probably lack of under-
etanding of procedure, to eome extent, to�voice spproval of a lot aplit
before the Subcoaomittee and Planning Commiseion had atudied the request.�
The Plannix�g CommieBion thought they did the right thing when they
rezoned for a triplex, and orderly proceduree are eet up to msks ar�y
neaeesary ahanges. In thie inetance they felt that orderly procedurea
n ehould have been followed and Council could have over-ruled it. They
were conourring with the Planning Commieeion recom�mendation of rezoning
to R-3. They underetand the Wileone have to try to work with whst tiuy
have and that aingle family reeidences would be better. The time taotor
involved� if it were a young pereon who had the time to wait, the� wcntld
. coneider it differently. Although he eeconded the motion� he atill had
the feeliz�g to appxove the split contingent upon the fact thst it ehould
be rezoned back to the original zoning of R-1.
�
Mr. Fitzpstriak eaid he knew the house and area. Ho I�ew th�t they do
not want a houae that hae been burned out re-conditior�ed and. didu�t
see that wae very feaeible.
The suggeetion was that Mr. Wileon could take out one building perait
right away axld then petition for the land to be re$oned back to R-1.
• Referring to the above motion, a voice vote wae talc�n� all voting m►r.
The motion failed.

MOTION by Myhra, aeaonded by Jensen, to receive the letter from
Urban Planning and Design, Incorporated, John S. Voss, President, to
Homer Ankrum, City Manager in coxLnection with a proposed schedule of
pert time planning co.nsultant. IIpon a voice vote, all voting aye, the
motion carried unsaimouely. ,
It wae noted Mr. Voss would prepare the agenda for the Planning
Eommiesion and attend the Planning Commiseion meeting�s and at least one
Council meeting a month. Mr. Myhra commented that not �aw� the
gentleman, it is hard to make a decieion. However, there are many times
the Planning Commisaion wished they had.the servicea of a planner.
Mr. Fitzpatrick added that the Parka have talked about thie kind
of planner. He wondered if his time would be taken up with epecific
duties for other committees.
Mr. Jense.n said he was sure the general proposal of Mr. Yoas may be
deairable, but he did not think it particularly fit the Planning
Commission needs. Having a potentia� planner available and making a
� reeommendation on every move, would in his opinion, tend to malce a rubber
etamp of the Commisaion and he felt that would be bad. However, he
recognized the need fo� a planner oxr specific items. There are ma,ny
pro�ecte if Fxid7.ey which do need this kind of assistance. With that in
n mind, perhaps it would be proper for.the Coc�iseion to ask John Vose to
attend a meeting in the near future and diecues some of thie with hita, �►nd
, then the Planning Commission could make a decieion.

Mr. Joseph Gitis, representing Medicare Development Co., was present to offer to the
Board, the plans for the hursing Home, special use permit (See the October 2, 1968
Board of Appeals agenda a.nd minutes.)
It is the opinion of the Board that the special use permit be granted to Medicare
Development Co. for these reasons;
1. The plans shown to the Board members, after their review, seem
very adequate and certainly coneistent to good building standaxds.
� The plans are available for Counail review (two sets of plans).

from �he street except Woodcrest School, which is 40 feet from
the street. Therefore, the building site is consistent
with other structures.
2. There was no one present to offer opposition.

Mayor Kirl�am read the public Hearing Notice to the audience, ar�d
asked tho City Enqineer to give � short explanation of the Plati-

the planninq Comanission has held a� Publ ic Hearinq on th• reqtte�t
for rezoning these 2 a�eas from R-1 to Planned Developa�t. He
explained that the Pla�uiing Con�nission felt that this r�queet
should be approved arid inclur�3d under the pD District so the
Couneil could control the use of these parcels also. Ut�der the
prea�nt soning the d�veloper could use the land for parking as
he wiah�d, without the co�trol of the Council. He ahowed th�
areaa in question on the screen for the information of the
audiance. He remindad the Council that they had receiv�d a peti-
tion againat this andta�ll rezoninq tn thss ara�a prevtously.

SPECIAL PUBLIC H`��3�1G MEETING OF THE COUNCI�,, OCTO�ER 14a "}��°-:� ,�AGB 2
�
Mayor Kirkham called for objections from the audience.
Wyman Smith was present representing the people in the area of the
Planned Development District, and said that a group of neiqbboacs
had gotten together with him last Friday. He said that it is his
understanding that this request is in addition to the original
PD. He said that in this area there are all single fa�aily resi-
dences and when the people bau ght there, the land was zoned for
R-l. He said that they were very m�ch concerned about the effect
of thie PD due to the increase of traffic, noise and many•more
children. He said that the Supreme Court has delved into th is
problem of multiple dwellings next to single family residences,
and there has been some concern with health and the security of
the people living i.n residential ar�as. He said that they are
also concerned.about property devaluation, and there is also the
question of roads, sanitary sewer systems, and the prcablem of
whether they are adequate to take care of a much more densely
populated area. He said that"this has come about since these
people bought their homes and they feel that this rezoning does,
in effect, take away their property without compensation.
Mr. Gary Pearson, 281 Ely Street, said that he has gon e over th is �
beforo. There were notices sent out, but he did not receive one,
although he did receive a copy of the Planning Con�aission.Minutes.
He said that he thought that this constitutes spot zoninq, and
that it would seem to him that when a City starts developing,
there must be some sort of planning to allow for residential
areas, business areas, industrial areas, etc. He said that
when he bought his haae the land was R-1. He s� d that he feels
that the Planning Com�nission and Council are derelict in their �
duty in not preventing this spot zoning, as it is detrimental.
He said that it would se�m tY�at a bu5iness area would be a better
place for an apartment house, rather than an R-1 district. He
said that the people in this neighborhood did not need any addi-
tional shopping facilities as there is already a grocery store
close by, and shopping centers and medical facilities within 3
miles of this area. He said that he understood that it was
Councilman Samuelso�'s opinion that the tax revenue to the City
would be much greater than if it remained as an R-1 district,
haaever, this is not im�pr�rtant tc i:he people immediately involved.
He said that as Councilman Samuelson is a builder, perhape he has
a personal interest in this. �ie said tiiat he undsrstood that the
first co�cept was for townhouses, but since financing could not be
procured, the apartment coiaplex was devised. Mr. Peareon said
that he had heard from Mr. Dumphy, that the developer could put �
a parking lot on this land anyhow without the rezoni.riq. He
SPI9CIAL COUNCIL 1KE8TING OF OCTOBffit 14, 1966 p�g 3

ltayor Kirkham said that this Council is not pushing thie, but �rhen
any good zoning ordinance is written, it �st c6n�afn prov�,s�o�
for anY land awner to,attempt to rezone his la�nd, if he so des�reeo
He explainad that thi�-is simply a public H�atir�g and the Council
wil,l not be passiaag judqement at this time.
Councilman Samuelson �aid that he has had no contact with 1�.
DumphY, and the inferqnce that he could gafn a contract ia out
of order and he requested that further inferences such aa tbis
pleaae be discontinued.
Mr. Jerry Potts, 8066 Ruth Street, said that he objected to t hia
chaAqe of plans which would allaw p.D. and the shoppinq c�nt�r.
He aaid th�t this would increase the children in an area �eYe
th�ro is already a laCk of adequate parks and playqrownds. 8e
pointed out that in busine8s areas it seems t1�at t2zere i�r al�rays
n the probl�m of paper blawiag about. Hs also pointed out t2ie
prablam of the traffic conqeetion as this would add parhspe
100 - 200 more cars, and there is already a pro�lem of qattirg
onto saet River Road. He said that he must abject becauae ho
feels that not awch consideration has been qiven to tha adjacetit
property a�vners. He aaid that he must alao object as wh� he
bouqht his property, it was R-1 in the area, and thare waa no
zoninq niap showing anythinq but R-1. He fe�t that prop�rty
values would decrease with �nythinq but R-l.
Mr. William Forster, 298 aly Stroet, said ti�at he liv�s on the
carnar of $ly a�d Ruth Street, He said that it was bro�ght up
at tha planain�q Coumi$s ion �1�eet inq the fact . that the psice of a

$34,000. Mr. Forster asked who would pay for them. Councilman
Liebl answered that since East River Road is a County Road,
� could be pn id by the Cau nty and � by the City. T'he City
8�qineer addec]'that as to the question about the sewer, of course
there would be more sewage with an apartm�nt canplex, however, �
the line would not have to be redesigned as it is an 8" line now
arul adequate for any local areas. Councilman Liebl said that t3ze
whole project is assessed the same, as there would ba more sewaqe
goinq through the pipes from the apartinent house, they would have
to p�,y nwre. He pointed out to the audience that the major
portion of the rezoning has already gone through, and this hearinq
is only on 2 small areas and these are the areas which we should
be talkinq about. The City Sngineer added that the Ordinance was
passed March 24, 1967 and 15 days after publication, it b�cauae law.
Mr. Forster �aid that the people on the balcony of the apartment
would be able to look right dawn on his house. The City Engineer
said that there will be another Public Hearing for the purpose
of app�rovin�g the final plans, and that would be the time to
discuss this problem. Mr. Forster said that he wished to state �
that he is not for the rezonir�g nor the coanplex. Mayor Kirkham
explained again that the major portion of the land has already
been zone�d to P.D. and it is law. Mr. Potts said that he ob- �
jected to any chaage in the 2 areas in question and he objects
to the whole P.D. District. Mayor Kirkhaia pointed out that the
2 areas in question ate the areas shavn on the map with diagonal
hash marks, and this is the only portion that can bQ considered.
Mrs. Stan Moritko, 228 $ly Street, said that she felt that the
community must stand fixm on th.is small rezoning to protect
their interesta. She said that these are their hon►es where they
live. _
Mr. William Young, 6121 Ruth Circle, said that he realized that the
major postion o£ the land has already been zoned to P.D. He said
; that he raceived;a letter at the time of the rez.onin�g with the
name of 9ci3ros�ier on the Hearing Notice. He said that he went
to tha Pl�ing Cc>mnission Public Hearing and it was his under-
standirig fr� M�. Schroeder that what was being considered were
taiwri houses, with: just a s�►all apar.tment complex. He said that
he felt ti;�t t�e anc' his neighbors were confirmed in this belief
by the fasct th�t �. Schroeder aws�ed and 1 ivecl in an expens ive

Councilsan sheridan aaid tiiat the Planning Commtssion recommended

Ha said that the awner of the section on Huqo Street had been
killec7, so he had to e�eal with the .estate, but that thia ha� b�ea
aettl�d. In the otheY section, Lote 32 and 33 had be�n lying
dormant, and he had txouble locatinq the owner. Howevsz, ho
found the a�mer in Sun Valley, California and has since pu�cchswd:
this property.
CouACilmin Samuelson asked Mr. Du�apiiy to qiva a brief d�tcrtpti�►
of his proposed iand use for these areas. llt. Dumphy said ti�at th�
south area �►ili be us�d as parki.nq space atyd to provid� a buffer
area to the residents, and the north area will give acc�ss to
Hugo Street and will be us� to provide additional parkiag area.
Mr. Ralph•Officer, 315 Hugo Street, said that he had followed.
this from its inception. Z'he first Planninq Co�amisaion lLiinutes
indicated that Mr. Schroeder was the petitioner. Up until the
ti.ms of the actual r�oning, Schroeder waa on all thm records.
He understsnds that 3� . Dum�t3y d id have t itle to th� pro�p�cty .
8� said that the Plantiing Cwamission has recommended approval of
theee 2 areas for resonir�g as Mr. Duwphy coulci put in a bla�ck-
topped parkinq lot ariyhaw. He said that he did not fsel that th�
Planninq Caamission and Council . ere aware that Mr. Duaiph�► also
owns rno�re land in this area and wor�dered what would prevent !�.
Dum�phy fran adding on more and �a� e land into the B.D. District
in a snaw balling efiect, such as next year, maybe submitting
another request of this same nature to be aaaea to the District.
He felt that there should be aome kind of curta�lirig of the
aAwunt w'hich could go into this Diatrict. He said that Whan
this waa originally d'iscussed, the iclea was toMm hous�s, but when
financiug cauld not ise obtained, it was casually dropped and the
aparta�t complex formulated.
Mr. Pearson said that he felt that the oriqinal plan with town
houses and Ely Street ending in a cul-de-sac would have b�en a
nice addition, it wo�tld look like residential property. �Tvw, he
would like to see it as an R-1 Diatrict.
Councilman Liebl said that he has not seen the plans. They car
before the Council a}3out a year and a half ago, but s3nca then
there were some chanqes made, and he £elt that he would have to
see ths plans in order to make a n�ature and com�etent judq�t.
Councilm�u� Sheridan aaid that the wholo program waa brou�t in
in 1966. Z"hs proposal nvw is something very different than what
� th� oriqinal proposai was. With aay poasibl� chanq�a in this
proposal, th• people atill took in qood faith that it would �till
bs towa houaes which thay w�ace� willirng to accept. He said tbat b�
could feei w'hat the people are n�r goinq throwgh, and ur�til sueis
tim� ae he can see the plan$ he would be unable to snak+� a judqa�t.

Councilman Samuelson pointed out that ii the applicat�.on had been
made under R-3 zoning, .the Cuuncil could not hav� st�pp�i �ia�a
but under Pl�ned Development the Council still has control and
the right to review the plans, thereby providing protection of
the people's �interests.
Mr. Young said that he felt that it should revert back to R-1,
as the plan was sold on the basis of being tawn houses, then later
changed over to apartment houses, therefore, the whole rezoning
should revert back to what it was origir�ally. Mayor Kirkham said
that tY�e ordinances are set up so that any home owner can apply
for a zoning chanye, and the Council cannot arb itrarily charige
back.
Mr. Curtis Walberq, 2G5 Ely Street said that they live about 200'
from this complex and he yelt that Councilman Sheridan sua�aed
up what they felt nicely . A,neiaber o� the audience asked Council-
man Sa�auelson if he would like to live across the street =rom
a cottq�lex such as this. Councilman Samuelson said that he mic�ht
not like it, but that he would not object, arrd he would question
any fina;ncial loss that the people have been talking about having
to take. Mrs. Moritko asked Councilman Samuelson how much ad-
vantage, tax�wise would tt�::re be in the apartmant complex over
R-1. Councilman Samuelson answered about 3 times as nwch per
acre.
D�lr. Potts asked what about the schools, as there would be more
ch�,l�en. Mayor Kirkham said tnat there are less children of
schoal age in apartment houses than in residential areas. When
questioned on this, he said that these were not his statistict,but
had come from the schools.
Mrs. Jack i�aklich said that she was concerr�ed about the schools.
She said that the buses are overcrawded naw. She said that two
yea�CS ago their children had to be bused across the river to qo
to school, now thei r new school is completed, and she did not
want to see it becocae ovarcrawded. She also pointed out that in
this da� arzd aqe nearly everyone has two cars, which would make
nare conqestion.
b�. hlyman Smith said that probably the hang-up is adjusting a P.D.
District into an R-1 District comfortably. He said that these
people felt that they could live with a tawn house type of develop-
n10nt, but, were not appraisetl o� the change in plans which would n
affect the density of the area considerably. He said that he
aqroed with the Mayor in that an ordinance must atlav any land
owner the right ta apply for a zoning change, and aleo appreciated

Z'hta i.f what is conce�ni.ng: these people. 2'hey sit back in their
homes,,- thinki.ng that there w!ill be a ta�m hous� typ� of develog-
ment, then upori finding out that it is to be apartmenta the�y are
understandably upset, and confused as to what can and cuz not
go into a P.D. District. He said that thesa peoplo have a qood
com�nit� a�cea there and these peopls are £earful that the com-
plex will char�qe t��a ;character of their neighborhood. He said
that he would agree �ith Councilman Sa�auelson that an apauctaNant
com�lex would increaae the tax base, but it seem�ci to hia that
there is alre�dy eno�gh R-2 and R-3 areas to be developed, and
vety little R-1 left� �
Mr. Du�phy said that the original plan shvwed town hous�s, then
it was found that thi� would be inadvisable, so this �r plan
was devised. which went through the narmal chann�ls ar�d approved
by Council. He said that the people have been talkinq a�bout the
whole area being R-1.< but this is not the case as all oi Fair-
mont Circle was zoned C-1-S.. trlhen he tried to qet finat�cinq,
he found that it could not be done as the town houses would face
the backs of the shopping areas. This is why the plaaas ware chanqod.

� Sprinq Broak Addit ion that would be land-lock�d, a�c7 this ia why

r�atural and that the�e are provisions for buffars for lchs p�ople.
