Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, June 02, 2010 Page 14 Chair Doherty spoke in support of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment that the 665 parcel be maintained Single-Family Residential. 666 Commissioner Boerigter suggested that the Commission consider the future of 667 the property, and how they saw its development, since there were two (2) 668 different owners. 669 Discussion included clarifying each of the properties and their current and 670 proposed zoning designation; whether to add the parcel(s) to the list of anomaly 671 properties or recommend to the City Council a Comprehensive Plan Amendment; 672 and previous and confusing designation of one of the properties improperly 673 guided to Open Space. 674 Mr. Adams 675 Mr. Adams reiterated his intent to construct a home on 556 West County Road C. 676 Mr. Paschke noted the error in the zoning designation guidance of the adjacent 677 parcel as Park Open Space in the Comprehensive Plan and suggested 678 amendment to Low Density Residential 1 (LDR-1). 679 Commissioner Boerigter questioned why this parcel couldn’t be considered with 680 other anomaly properties, like the adjacent property currently designated as Park 681 Open Space. 682 Mr. Paschke noted that there were sixty-seven (67) properties caught in advance 683 of tonight’s public notice being sent out, and if this parcel were added to that list, 684 the end result would be the same, but he wasn’t sure that the appropriate 685 process would be followed. Due to the notice going out, Mr. Paschke advised 686 that the City Council needed to weigh in on the decision to determine whether the 687 current designation was appropriate versus removing it; noting that the City 688 Council, at this time, wont be discussing the properties designated “black” on the 689 May 2010 draft zoning map, as it would be doing with the other properties. Mr. 690 Paschke noted that the one parcel was designated Single-family Residential, and 691 may be guided to something other than Park Open Space, however, he noted 692 that the City was not currently in a financial position to consider additional 693 properties for park use. Mr. Paschke noted that, while the Parks and Recreation 694 Master Plan process may indicate this or other parcels throughout the community 695 that may be a park, pond or other open space use, the Comprehensive Plan 696 designation guiding the parcel as a Park was inappropriate and it needed to be 697 designated something other than Open Space; but would need to proceed 698 through a public process to change that designation. 699 Mr. Paschke noted that if the parcel remained designated HD, the property owner 700 would not be able to build a single-family home on the lot; and that to amend that 701 designation, a separate action (motion) would be indicated for designation other 702 than currently guided, for recommendation by the Commission to the City 703 Council, at which time it would be added to the listed anomaly properties. Mr. 704 Paschke reminded Commissioners that they had the ability to discuss the merits 705 of each case brought forward during public comment, and then to choose 706 whether they advocated any change or not. 707 Mr. Paschke suggested that the Commission may choose to recommend that this 708 lot (556 County Road C – PIN 12-29-23-22-0003) be removed for inclusion with 709 the list of anomaly properties, even though not previously identified as such, but 710 needing further consideration for potential Comprehensive Plan Amendment due 711 to the terrain, anticipating that this process may place an additional 2-3 month 712 delay on zoning designation and redevelopment; and adjacent to the anomaly 713 property adjacent on the east (558? County Road C). 714
