Chairperson Bosell reopened the pUblic hearing.
c=)Mike Walker, 1640 - 177th Avenue N.W., Cedar - stated that he can't see any reason why Mr.

has been a good neighbor.
Barb Feltl, 1750 - 177th Avenue N.W. - read a letter from Harvey and Alice Lewis of 1755 -
177th Avenue, which states: "We the undersigned have found Jim Glatt to be a good neighbor
and find nothing offensive or objectionable in his farming operation. We feel he should be
allowed to continue operating as he has without interference. We wholeheartedly approve
the rezoning of his land from residential to agricultural."
Mike Walker - asked if this will go to the City Council next. Chairperson Bosell noted that
it does.
Commissioner Elling asked Chairperson Bosell if she had talked to the City Attorney regarding
the residence on this property. She noted that she had and Mr. Hawkins said that the request
deals specifically with the land. It does not entail what is going on with the land. The
fact that the city has become aware of some irregularities should have nothing to do with
the rezoning.

to the City Council approval of the James Glatt rezoning to Agricultural Preserve in

09200, 9225 and 9300, noting the following: 1) A public hearing was held and we received
. statements from the neighbors in facor of the rezoning; there was no opposition; 2) The
rezoning would be in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan; 3) The health, safety, and
general welfare of the community are not affected; 4) Surrounding property values will
not be adversely affected.
