Commissionmember Harvey raised the question about the B-4 zoning which would
remain adjacent to this property at the north side and asked what could be
done about potentially zoning the property to a different use. Mr. Licht
explained that either the city nor a property owner can initiate such ~
action to rezone property.-
Mr. Asmus explained that based on what had. been presented and the comments
received, that there appeared to be no major problems. with the plat as drawn
and the proposed rezoning which would have to be applied for the future.
The City Administrator suggested that the hearing be tabled .until at least the
November 15, 1979 Planning Commission meeting so that the applicant would have
time to apply for the appropriate. rezoning he desired and the City would know
what the status of the Lake Marion trunk sewer project is by that time.

are now 64 lots in the plat which have square foot area of from 15 to 20 thousand
square feet. All the remaining lots. over 20,000 square feet.
The applicant and cpmmissionmembers discussed .the potential for bringing all lots
up to 20,000 square feet and 100 feet in width. Mr. Dale explained that in order
to do this and keep the streets in the best location to meet street grades
and .terrain.. considerations, would require lots with massive front footages
which would drive the cost per lot to extreme costs in some instances.
Commissionmembers discussed with the consultants and applicant how to best
accommodate the overall plan which they felt was well done, and not set a
precedent which would further require the City to rezone any or all subdivisions
presented in this area from R-1B to R-1C.
The City Attorney recommended that a special use permit under the P.U.D. ordin-
ance could be applied for, a public hearing held, and if granted by the
Planning Commission, would allow the plat to be approved as it is know being
presented without rezoning it from R-1B.
At this time Mr. Nyhus presented a feasibility plan showing how water and
• -sewer service could be provided to the plat without any effect on properties
to the west or northwest or north requiring any further assessments in order
to .serve this plat. Exhibit identified as B-1 was presented to those present.
The City Administrator explained that the way the City receives payment for
any water and sewer project is a combinatian of an acre or area assessment, a
