PAGE 3 Planning Commission Minutes March 31. 1987 . John Weicht stated that he feels the property in question would never be developed as residential because of the traffic flow. Weicht feels a daycare on the property would be appropriate for the area because of the schools and the industrial park. Chairman Wilson closed the public hearing. Stephen Rohlf stated that he can appreciate the concerns with property values but does not feel it to be appropriate. He stated that Staff feels this property is not condusive to single family due to the traffic flow of the area. Rohlf informed the Commission and public that he had spoken with the City Attorney who didn't see that there would be a loss in property values. It was strongly emphasized that this property is zoned incorrectly and that somewhere in the city multi-family and single family zones must abut. Commissioner Morton stated that he could not see the rational for the zone change with Parcel "B". He continued by saying that it is unlikely for multi-family development in Parcel "A" and agrees with neighbors that an R-3 zone does not fit into this area. Morton also pointed out that this would be a spot zone. . Commissioner Temple questioned the zoning for daycare. Rohlf stated that daycare is a permitted use for 13 or less in a single-family zone. It is a conditional use in multi-family and all commercial. An R-3 zone would be the lowest designation to get a conditional use permit for a larger daycare. Commissioner Temple then questioned the feasibility of changing the zoning on Parcel "B" and not on Parcel "A". Rohlf addressed the question by stating that if the party requesting the change would want the property reduced at the meeting it would possibly be acceptable. but it would not be allowed for the Commission to act on only one (1) piece when the affected party is requesting a zone change on the entire parcel. Commissioner Kropuenske questioned John Weicht about this option. Weicht stated that he was looking at a daycare on Parcel "B" and later constructing townhouses on Parcel "A".
