sales at the corner of Dodd Road and Flagstaff Avenue... Mr. Asmus explained
to the citizens present that the staff had done research on the .question on
if and when Outlot B in Donnay's Valley Park 5th Addition was zoned B-4
Commercial. Mr. Asmus then called upon Roger Knutson to review a letter he
had sent to Mr. Schroeder concerning the matter.
• Mr. .Knutson reviewed his letter and concluded that from the research the staff
had made of City records from 1969 through .1975 that the Outlot B in Donnay's
Valley Park 5th Addition was not legally zoned by the City :Council to B-4
Commercial as indicated on zoning maps. Mr. Knutson explained that the
research had shown where a public hearing was called to rezone Outlot B from
resedential to commercial=industrial in 1970. However, after the calling. of the
hearing the City Council did not act in any'manner on Outlot B in the 5th
Addition. The minutes of council meetings for those years are silent on the
matter. However, a map was published in the officail city newspaper on April
11, 1973 that shows the outlot being zoned B-4. Mr. Knutson explained that
while the map was duly published, the council action approving Outlot B's
change to B-4 was never taken, and therefore, that part of the map is in error.
Mr. Asmus asked Mr. Schroeder if he had anything he wished to say. Mr.
Schroeder stated that he had invested over $70,000 purchasing the property
and preparing plans and that he was slightly upset with the current situation..
but that he .and his attorney would continue to investigate the matter. He
had no further comment.
The City Administrator had written a recommendation to the Planning Commission
requesting that the Planning Commission table any action on Mr. Schroeder's
application until December 6, 1979 Planning Commission meeting to allow the
applicant a fair amount of .time to .review any or all City records on this matter.
Several citizens present stated that they had received a gray and red colored
• book from the developer, Mr. Donnay, in the early 70's when they had purchased
their homes which included information concerning zoning and that none of
the books showed Outlot B in the 5th Addition being zoned commercial. The.
