;39th Avenue and Crosstown Boulevard. He felt that the engineer should check on this property
'-to see if Neighborhood Business is the proper zoning. Commissioner Scherer felt that NB
zoning on this property is inappropriate mainly because of the traffic hazard and also because
the Speedy Market is so close. He felt it should be rezoned to residential.
Chairperson Bosell noted that in speaking to Commissioner Johnson, he felt that the Commission
should draft a letter to Mr. Nemeth and Mr. Hockinson asking them what their intentions are
regarding their properties. Commissioner Johnson will draft a letter and bring it to the next
meeting. Chairperson Bosell also felt that Mr. Conroy should be notified of what we are doing
as he has a vested interest in his property.
This item will be continued to December 22, 1981.
Discussion centered on what the City Council did on the Agricultural Preserve Ordinance on
December 3rd. One of their concerns is the tax for agricultural property; they felt that the
city would be losing a lot of tax revenue from these properties.
City Engineer Schrantz suggested that according to the Land Use Plan in the Comprehensive
Plan, the Conroy property is shown as Neighborhood Business and the Land Use Plan should be
the basis for planning of the city. If the Commission is going to change the zoning on that
property, the Land Use Plan map should be changed first.
MOTION by Scherer, seconded by Apel to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned
at 8:16 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
