Minutes of a Special Meeting of the Mayor and City Council:
The meeting was called to order at 8:05 P.M. by Mayor George Wehmann,
with the following City Officials present:
Mayor George Wehmann Clerk Deon Hemingway
Councilman Francis Lee AttorneyW. Joe Anderson
Councilwoman Carol A. Dille Engineer David E. Benton
Councilman Marvin J. Anderson
Councilman Russell N. Swensen
Others present during the meeting were Developer Joseph Groberg, and
interested residents Reynold Chambers, 2863 E. 17th St., and Charles
Carr, 2880 E. 17th St.
Mayor Wehmann explained that the purpose of the meeting was to hold
a Public Hearing, as advertised and notified by mail, on the annex-
ation and initial zoning of 18.528 acres and a request for zone changes
on 28 acres, with the combined property being presented as a platted
subdivision with the name of Ammon 17th Street North Addition and
being located north of 17th Street across from Avocet Drive.
Engineer Benton, representing the developer, pointed out the differe'nt
areas on a copy of the preliminary plat, and listed the requested zon-
ing as R3A to Lori Street, R2A on the north side and abutting Lori St.,
and ~2 and R1 north of that. The zoning recommendation of the Plan.-
ning and Zoning Commission was reported to be R1 on the north lots,
R2A on both sides of Lori Street, and R3A from there south to 17th St.
Comments by the residents in attendance indicated that there was no
objection to annexing the described property as requested. Council-
woman Dille moved that the City annex that portion of Ammon 17th St.
North Addition not presently in the City, subject to final approval
by the Council of an annexation agreement for that property. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Swensen; voting was all in favor;
motion carried.
R~6~rdin9 the ~ting and zoning of Division No.1 of the proposed
su iV1s10n, tfieJPublic hearing discussion brought out expressions of
concern about the large full-block lots in the area bordering 17th
street because of objections to the possibility of motels or mor~
turaries being built there, which would be allowed if zoned R3A.
Suggestions to have the developer do additional platting or sign a
special agreement on this subject were felt to not be satisfactory,
but it was determined that approval to the zoning could be given
with a provision that sub-headings No.4 and No.6 of Sections 11-16-2
of the zoning ordinance be omitted in this instance. An inquiry made
by Mr. Chambers about whether or not his property, which is adjacent
to the Ammon 17th Street North Addition, would be approved for lDA
zoning also if requested met with mixed reaction on the part of the
Council members. In response to a comment about the size of apart-
ment buildings that would be allowed and the resulting density of
population, Mayor Wehmann pointed out that square-footage and off-strea
parking space requirments will restrict the number of apartment units.
It was noted that there were no comments made at the Planning and Zonmg
Commission hearing about leaving the area along 17th Street zoned R1
as it is, but rather it was recommended that the zoning be consistent
with that in the nearby ~bnty Howell Addition. Councilman Lee moved
that the City accept the zoning for Division No.1 of the Ammon 17th
Street North Addition as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Com-
mis~ion'~i'th the exception that the provisions of Section 11-16-2(4)
,.-/!,-J(.,.
and~be 0 tted from the R3A Zone just north of 17th Street, and with
R2A-ZOn~ju~t north o~ 17th Street, and with R2A Zoning on both sides
of Lori Street and R1 on the remainder of the lots to the north. The
motion was seconded by Councilwoman Dille; voting by roll call was
Lee, yes; Dille, yes; Swensen, yes; Anderson, yes; motion carried
unanimously. Attorney Anderson requested that Engineer Benton furnish
a revised legal description since the initial zoning and zone
