The City Administrator further indicated that the remaining 2.9 acres, Parcel A, would remain in Mr. Dietz's ownership for future development. Mayor Hinkle opened the public hearing. Mr. Earl Hetrick asked what specifically was happening with the administrative subdivision submitted by Mr. George Dietz. Mr. Dick Ensted, representative for Mr. George Dietz, indicated that the administra- tive subdivision proposal was to set up a buffer zone between the residential area and the proposed Parcel A in the subdivision. Mr. Ensted indicated that Mr. Dietz would possibly request a zone change for Parcel A to a commercial zone. Mr. Ensted indicated that Mr. Dietz has proposed a fair price for the sale of the property to the adjoining property owners and the option of a long term contract. Mr. Earl Hetrick indicated that the price proposed for the property from Mr. Dietz was more than he felt was reasonable for the property. The City Administrator indicated that the administrative subdivision would have to be approved with the condition that the parcels would be added to the existing resi- dential lots. Ms. Estelle Gunkel questioned the possibility of the land being sold on contract and if the contract wasn't completed, the land would go back to the owner, Mr. Dietz, which would create a land lock for those parcels of property. General discussion was carried on regarding the type of sale that could be made to add the land to the existing lots and not create a land locked parcel of property. Mr. Gary Santwire indicated that the property could be deeded to the individual owners with a note signed by the purchaser or a second mortgage could be taken On the property. Discussion was also carried on regarding the rezoning of Parcel A. The City Administrator suggested that the City Council obtain more information.re- garding the actual sale of the other parcels to the adjoining property owners before approving the administrative subdivision as submitted. Mayor Hinkle suggested the City Council continue the public hearing until more information is provided by Mr. Dietz. Councilman Engstrom suggested that the City Council receive a letter of intent from the adjoining property owners prior to approval of the administrative subdivision. Mr. Ensted indicated that Mr. Dietz could keep all of the property and still request rezoning for parcelA. The City Administrator indicated that the Planning Commission would have to review the rezone request before the City Council would make a decision. Councilman Toth questioned the possibility of Mr. Dietz subdividing the property as proposed if he kept all of the property. The City Administrator indicated that it would have to be platted as it was more than four lots, but also indicated that it could be subdivided in another manner.
