o o o Planning Commission Minutes August 23, 1983 Page Five had denied Mr. Baumgartner's request because they considered it a spot zone, and the City Council also denied Mr. Baumgartners request; but felt that because of the service road along the area, they felt some invest~gation should be made regarding putting C-3 on that side of the area. Rick Breezee indicated that he talked to Zack Johnson, the City Planner, and indi- cated that Mr. Johnson had concerns regarding the stipulations put on the area along.the western edge of highway 10 that it not be developed until the adequate utilities were put out there, and also that Mr. Johnson had concerns with the floodplain in the area. Rick Breezee further indicated that Mr. Johnson's final recommendation was that the zone not be changed to C-3. Chairman Tracy had concerns about the number of homes which would become nonconform- ing in the R-lb area should the area be changed to C-3. Rick Breezee indicated that he was concerned with how much area is appropriate for C-3 zone, and how deep' should it be from the service road, and whether a zone change put more people in a nonconforming situation. Rick Breezee also indi- cated that this area is not serviced by sewer and water and that private systems may createa possible problem with contamination with the river if commercial de- velopment is allowed to happen. Commissioner Hartman indicated that he felt in Mr. Baumgartners situation, there would not be the problem as with other areas relating to sewer and contamination to the river. Chairman Tracy indicated that-he wuuld De opposed to the zone change. Commissioner Hartman indicated that it might be good to move the C~3 from the north side to the south side because of the access road, but that the only prob- lem would be the same stipulation regarding service would have to be applied, and Mr, Baumgartner probably could not afford these stipulations because the needed utility services would have to go under Highway 10. Commissioner Pearce indicated that he felt there should not be any more C-3 in the area and felt he would be more inclined to change the two existing C-3 areas to C-2. COMMISSIONER PEARCE MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO REZONE THE AREA SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 10 FROM THE EXISTING C-3 TO C-2, AND ALSO TO REZONE THE PROPERTY SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 10 AND WEST OF WACO STREET FROM C-3 TO R-lb. COMMISSIONER HARTMAN SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION PASSED 6-0. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that the area along Highway 10 on the Western edge of Elk River north of Highway 10 remain as R-lb/Single Family Residential and not be changed to C-3/Highway Commercial.
