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.

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.

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. -,�, Planning Commission Meeting - Janua 25, 1968 � Page 5 The Cou�ission tabled action on the item until the February 8th meeting.
