Minutes of Regular Council Meeting Page two February 28, 1977 Hanson moved that the Council continue to abIde by the well-considered zoning ordinance currently in effect, and In doing so, reject the pro- posed zoning ordinance, which would have a divisive effect upon the community, and which Is presently unnecessary. Motion was seconded by Crepeau. Motion did not carry (Hanson, Crepeau voting In favor of the motion; Wingert, Woodburn, Crichton voting in opposition>. Lynden noted that adoption of ~ Zoning Ordinance requires approval of 2/3 of Council, or 4 out of 5. . Wingert expressed surprise and concern; asked Hanson if he can see ever passing a revised zoning ordinance; zoning principles, rather than emo- tion, should be the basis for the up-date of the ordinance. Many of the changes In the proposed revision are needed and apparently not con- troversial; unfortunate to defeat entire ordinance because of emotional controversy; Northwestern College matter can be decided In court. In discussion, It was noted that several items of the proposed ordInance have not been resolved as yet by Council; important to get these accom- plished; many applications are pending and will be affected If proposed ordinance is not adopted; anticipate a great deal of activity In the next three years. Lynden referred Council to memo of 2/24/77 re Proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments by Attorney Lynden and Planner Fredlund. Crichton moved, seconded by Woodburn, that Council approve the four changes re "public street, as per memo. Motion carried unanimously. Crichton moved, seconded by Wingert, that Councl I approve the change on p. 3-9, 12. Restrictions on Location of Non-residential Uses In Residential Districts as amended (See beiow). MotIon-carried unani- mously. (In the granting of Special Use or Planned Unit Development Permits for non-residential uses, other than home occupa- tions and family day-care homes, to be located in a res!~9~- tlal district on a site of one (I) acre or more, the Council Shall not permit ~ze~Jr~~J~~~,~lte to a cui-de-sac or loca I street and aTso", nn.fi'UC'"fUr'ii or hard-surface area to be constructed on said site closer than one hundred (100) feet from any adjacent residential lot.)' Crichton moved approval of amended defi.dtlons 139 through #45 as per memo (2/24/77), edding "only" to definition 641 ("... consisting of G~~y one (I)...".). Motion was seconded ~y Wingert and carried unani- mous Iy. Hanson moved that definition #11 i be amended by deleting all lenguage after secondary schools, and that definition #112 be worded to Include professional schools, col leges and universities accredited by the North Central Association. Motion was seconded by Wingert. . In discussion, Crichton noted that, as he understands It, a school has to be on a site for a certain "~mber of years (6 or 7) in order to become accredited. Motion did not carry (Crepeau, Hanson voting in favor; Wingert, Wood- burn, Crichton voting In opposition). Comments from the Floor: Richard Hoffmann suggested that accreditation requirements be checked. Frank Stanton stated that definitions #11 I and #li2 are the crux of the problem and not consistent with Comprehensive Plan. Larry McGouQh said he supports the residents; definition change permits a use which was here-to-for prohibited. -2-
