Mike Watts moved to approve.Don Bailey second.Council member Bailey suggested
waiting on this change in zoning until we are more aware of what will be developing in
that area.Council member Bailey also indicated that Mr.Koethe was a member of the
committee which developed the Comprehensive Plan and zoned the area,currently used
predominately for agricultural purposes,as R-3,R-4 and C-l A.Because there were no
proj ects proposed for these areas,Council member Bailey suggested postponing a vote on
the re-zoning until the time of development.LeMar Koethe,owner ofthe property,
insisted that the current zoning was appropriate and requested the council vote against the
re-zoning at this time.Staff were in support of re-zoning,Council member Gruber
indicated Mr.Koethe had stated he was interested in putting a road to the south through
the property in question.Mr.Gruber would agree to not re-zoning at this time,if a road
was built to the south.Council member Gruber recalled that the property was re-zoned
during the development phase of the Comprehensive Plan because Mr.Koethe or a
representative ofMr.Koethe that if it were re-zoned from A-I to R-3,R-4 and C-1A,the
owner would be able to sell the property,if it were zoned accordingly.The land was
never sold.M:r.Gruber suggested that the council should consider re-zoning back to A-l
(Agricultural)and re-zone again when projects come in.Mr.Koethe gave a time line of
three years or less for the installation of a road in that property.Planning Director Chad
Weaver indicated that the re-zoning suggested allowed for a better flow for residential
and a better boundary for the proposed Alice's Road extension.Joe Schmidt,2806 W
Avenue,questioned why this was on the agenda,when it had not officially been approved
by Planning &Zoning.Further discussion continued touching on such topics as current
re-zoning,postponing until the City gets a commitment for the development ofthe road,
and returning the item to P&Z for a motion to approve before council takes up the issue.
