45-Z) Mr McDonald, Director of Community Development, addressed
Council and noted for the record that notice of the public hearmg was
published as required by law.
Mr McDonald explained that this was a consideration of an appeal
filed by approximately 20% of the property owners within 300 feet of
the property located at the southeast corner of 15th Avenue and Court
Street The Planning Commission recommended at their last regular
meeting that this piece of property be rezoned to C-1 The
surrounding properties are zoned commercial
When looking at this issue the Planning Commission considered the
surrounding land uses and also considerd the Comprehensive Plan,
which suggests that arterials be developed commercially in a nodal
fashion This piece of property would fit within the nodal concept,
however, property owners in the area were concerned with additional
traffic, parking, access, noise, garbage, and the safety of children going
to and from school
The owner of the property wants to put a screen shop on his property,
which already has a duplex on it, to consolidate his businesses to one
location
Mr Strode wanted to point out that Council was considering a rezone
and needS to consider the possible uses that are permitted in the C-1
zone and how they fit into the community

A SITE LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF COURT STREET
AD 15TH AVENUE
Ms Marilyn Holt, of 1327 N 15th Avenue, addressed Council to voice
her objections to the proposed rezone She felt that the additional
traffic, noise, garbage, etc, would be detrimental to her neighborhood
and was asking the Council to deny the rezone.
Mr R W Pischel, of 4100 Riverhaven, addressed Council to ask that
Council grant the request for a rezone to enable him to build a
structure on the property where his duplexes are located He wants to
have all his business interests in one location
Mr Bruce Whitemarsh, of 1327 N 16th Avenue, addressed Council
and objected to the proposed rezone for the same reasons as Ms Holt
He felt that allowing commercial development to expand along the
corridor would create more problems for the residential areas
Mr Collin Madson, of 1323 N 15th Avenue, addressed Council in
support of comments already made by those objecting to the proposed
rezone
Mr. John Shaw, of 1311 N 15th Avenue, addressed Council to object
