Members absent: Councilman Kramer. Minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The Mayor declared open the hearing on the proposed rezoning of lands in Valley Manor Addition from R-3 to R-4. :The Mayor stated that. anyone present wishing to be heard on the matter would be heard. No citizens appeared in opposition to the proposed rezoning. Mr. Jensen, Chairman of the Planning Commission, stated the position of the Planning Commission aheof other subcommittees of the Planning Commission that studied the matter in detail, in favor of the p~Dposed rezoning. He stated that the subcommittee had met with the applicant as well as City Officials and reviewed the entire matter. An on-site inspection had been conducted.. He noted that the property is bounded by an apartment complex to the south, by the medical clinic and apartments on the east, by a commercial zone on the west, and on the north by a major highway, Highway #55, which is fronted by an access road serving the property. Further that the prbperty is within walking distance to all aspects of community service (shopping, medical, churches, etc.) The committee also felt that the proposed rezoning was compatible with all adjacent uses. l Discussion continued with reference to the fact that the property is benefitted by a service road, is surrounded by zoning of "buffer" nature, is adjacent to proposed commercial uses, is adjacent to school area, with extensive open space as well as other open space USeS such as church, medical clinic, that it is adjacent to the school which presents a high demand for smaller apartments for teachers and that the proposed rezoning would not increase the number of square feet of ground devoted to building use. It was stated that this development has features distinquishing it from other R-3 developments in the community. Further that there are at present no R-4 zoned lands in the City, although the zoning ordinance contemplates R-4 zoning. Several members stated that they felt that this was the logical location for R-4 zoning in the City based upon the present growth of the City. ' It was noted that the requested R-4 zoning would involve 252 units on the site to be rezoned and a total of 387 units in the overall development. The developer Mr. Gustafson was present and stated that this was in accordance with his wishes and he concurred therein and understood that he would not be allowed building permits for in excess of this number within the area involved. After everyone present had been given an opportunity to be heard, the public hearing was declared closed by the Mayor.
