Mr McDonald addressed Council to report for the record that staff did cause a notice to be published in the paper notifying the public of the hearing As indicated in the staff report this request is an appeal from a Planrung Commission decision as a result of action by the Commission in December, 1991 Since the time when the applicant filed his appeal with staff, staff has met with the applicant and he desires to amend his application to request R-1 zoning for the property instead of R-3 Because this request significantly changes the original proposal it's staffs recommendation that this matter should be sent back to the Planning Commission for review The applicant is agreeing with this process.

Mr McDonald informed Council that in 1988 there was one camp trailer m the park and the manager was informed at that time that the park was not set up for RV units and would have to be removed In August, 1991, there were six (6) RV units that had been moved in The manager was aware that the park was not set up for RV's At this point the owner and the manager applied for a rezone Mr McDonald feels that zoning violations should not be corrected by rezoning the property All RV units have been removed since August, 1991 RMH-3 requires that the park be developed with shower and bathroom facilities that would provide support to RV units, the owner doesn't want to comply with those requirements, he only wants the ability to rent spaces for RV units Following three (3) calls from Mayor DeFelice for further comments from the floor, either for or against, the public hearing was declared closed MOTION • Mr Jensen moved to accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission to deny the Devers rezone Mr Garrison seconded the motion. Mr. Strode addressed Council on his opposition on rezoning this property, because it's obvious from the Comprehensive Plan and the surrounding uses that a rezone would not be appropriate, however, he would like to have additional information be made available and be remanded to the Planning Commission if there is some precedence for this type of use and perhaps a Applicant Specific Vanance could be applied Mr. Crutchfield addressed Council and stated that staff could clangy and document the non-conforming status of the property and inform the property owner as to those specific rights he is entitled to Also perhaps there should be some amortization period established for the property owner to realize the investment in their facilities since 1976, and that perhaps Council should pass an ordinance stating that at some point in time that all mobile home parks shall comply with all standards.

The proposed resolution (unclear) the approximate four (4) acres recommended for sewer service. Mr Tom Kidwell, 2500 West Court Street, addressed Council and questioned the rescinding of the full agreement on sewer to the North because he onginally asked for eighteen (18) acres and he would rather have the onginal agreement modified so that at a later date he would come back and ask for the other area. Mr Ajax stated that approximately three (3) years ago Mr Kidwell approached Council to ask that the eighteen (18) acres be allowed to connect to the Columbia East Sewer This sewer line was put in to specifically serve the Columbia East area only. The property in question was excluded from the assessment.
