<br />~ <br /> <br />Mr. March explained due to the property being located near the creek and the size of the <br />parcel some of the allowed uses for industrial property would not be allowed. He then <br />explained that the pole building would not be allowed to be reconstructed in the event of <br />destruction by a natural disaster. <br /> <br />Mrs. Yaeger expressed her concerns for truck traffic, diesel fuel smells and chemical <br />smells if the property is rezoned to Industrial and the use of the property changes. <br /> <br />Ms. Karen Maska, Brian Court, stated she believed she was building a house in a <br />residential neighborhood and would not have built her home in that location if she were <br />aware that the parcel would be rezoned to Industrial. She is very concerned that <br />something louder, smellier and more disruptive to the neighborhood would come in <br />should the property be rezoned to Industrial. <br /> <br />Mr. Mark Radley, 7044 Cottonwood Court, questioned the need fOr a rezone to Industrial <br />if the intention is to keep the same type of business there. He then asked the Commission <br />to consider the fact that this parcel is bordered on three sides by property zone <br />Residential. <br /> <br />Mrs. Stevens presented her tax statement to Chairperson Hanson, which indicated she is <br />currently taxed Residential and Commercial for the property. <br /> <br />Mr. March noted the property owner is requesting the entire parcel be rezoned to <br />Industrial. The property owner had considered splitting the property, however, there is <br />no buildable area on the portion with the pole bam due to the floodway. The current <br />tenant would like to continue to use the entire piece of property and can continue to <br />operate the business under a Special Use Permit. <br /> <br />Ms. Maska questioned how residents or the City could control the use of the property in <br />the future. Mr. March indicated any new business would need a Special Use Permit, <br />which would require a public hearing to inform residents and receive resident input. <br /> <br />Mrs. Yaeger questioned whether there was a difference in which businesses could be <br />located on the property if the parcel was zoned Commercial, rather than Industrial. <br /> <br />Chairperson Hanson stated there were different businesses allowed under Commercial, <br />rather than Industrial. <br /> <br />Mrs. Yaeger questioned whether it was possible to split the parcel and leave the portion <br />of the lot with the house on it Residential and zone the other Commercial. <br /> <br />The Stevens indicated they did not have a preference either way for zoning but had <br />received a request from the buyer of the property to request a rezone to Industrial as a <br />condition of the sale. <br /> <br />Mr. March explained the business could continue to operate as is under the currently <br />issued Special Use Permit if the zoning remains the same. If the buyer of the property <br />should want to redevelop in the future, rezoning to Industrial would be required. <br /> <br />Page 2 of 10 <br />
