e e ~ e Planning Commission Minutes January 23, 1990 Page 3 6. z.QJ!~_~ban~e ReQu~st by _~ & D Development/P.H. Steve Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator indicated the applicants are requesting a zone change on a parcel of property from R-Ic/Single Family Residential which would accommodate single family houses with Ci ty sewer and water to R-2b/Townhouse Multifamily Residential. Mr. Rohlf cautioned the Planning Commission to not consider what uses are proposed by the petitioner (townhouses) but what uses could take place under the proposed zoning designation. He explained the three reasons when a zone change should be approved and when it is legal to approve a request. Commissioner Kimball opened the public hearing. Norman Schamber of 551 Tipton was concerned wi.,th apartment buildings being allowed in this area. Steve Rohlf, B & Z Administrator indicated that apartments would be allowed in an R-2b zone. but still would only contain up to four units per building. Chairman Kimball closed the public hearing. Commissioner Kimball asked staff that if it wasn't for the three unit townhouse then we wouldn't have to go through the zone change. Mr. Rohlf indicated that we would have to go through he zone change but the developers would be asking for a R-2a instead of the R-2b. Chairman Kimball indicated that it was his understanding that the DNR was looking at eliminating one of the units. Steve Rohlf indicated that the DNR was looking at whether they will approve 6 or 7 units fronting the lake (a matter of density). Dennis Anderson indicated that the DNR, without any problem, will allow 6.9 units. Mr. Anderson indicated that for the .1 unit we will have to make concessions such as setbacks etc. to satisfy the DNR. After discussing this issue, it was the consensus of the Planning Commission that they would like to go with R-2a zoning because of the density, as this would be more restrictive. Steve Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator, indicated that the petitioners have asked that the R-2b be acted on. He indicated that the applicant would have to agree to the R-2a zoning to be acted on at this time. At this time a short recess was taken giving the applicants time to consider the R-2a zoning. Rick Foster and Dennis Anderson of Rand D development agreed to have R-2a zoning also be considered. Staff suggested that this be submitted to the City in writing.
