The truth in taxation hearing was held on Monday of this week. There were <br />approximately eight residents in attendance at the hearing. The City Council will be <br />holding their last regular meetings on December 13th and December 27th of this year. <br /> <br />. The Pheasant Marsh subdivision was discussed at the planning and zoning commission <br />meeting on Tuesday. A public hearing was held to gather public input on this proposed <br />subdivision. There were a handful of residents in attendance to review the revised <br />preliminary plat. The revised plat contained 77 lots compared to the 88 lots previously <br />proposed. The developer's are proposing to create the development in three phases. The <br />first phase would be coordinated with the development of a new elementary school. The <br />developer's are also willing to install turn lanes into the development along Centerville <br />Road to minimize traffic impact. The planning and zoning commission voted unanimously <br />to approve the proposed preliminary plat. The proposed preliminary plat will come before <br />the City Council on December 13th. <br /> <br />. A public hearing was held on the proposed rezone of 1873 Main Street. Lloyd Drilling <br />requested permission to rezone the property from R-2 residential to B-1 commercial. This <br />would allow for the development of a retail/commercial center across the street from City <br />Hall. About six property owners on Shad Avenue were in attendance to oppose the <br />rezone. They did not want to have a commercial building along Main Street. Those in <br />attendance stated they would rather pay higher taxes to keep the residential nature of the <br />community. After a lot of debate and discussion the planning commission voted 6-1 to <br />recommend to the City Council that the property be rezoned to B-1 commercial with the <br />condition that an acceptable site plan be approved that considers appropriate buffering for <br />the residents. <br /> <br />* There is a fundraiser scheduled on December 16th for Nancy Gunderson - Collins.
