Development Services Manager Gladhill identified the property known as Windsorwood as <br />surplus City owned land. In order to sell the subject property, the parcel must be marketable and <br />rezoned. It has been proposed to change the zoning of the subject property to reflect the zoning <br />of the surrounding properties (R1 Residential [Rural Developing]). He noted an adjacent property <br />owner was interested in purchasing the site. Staff recommended the Commission amend the <br />City's Comprehensive Plan to consider a subsequent Zoning Amendment to update the City's <br />official controls. <br />Citizen Input <br />David Conroy, 8950 170th Circle explained he was interested in purchasing Lot 9. He <br />commented he would be completing an appraisal and noted it was his intention to keep the lot <br />vacant. <br />Leslie Reese-Sohonick, 8901 178th Avenue NW, commented she lived across the street from the <br />vacant parcel and appreciated the privacy of this neighborhood. She explained she would not be <br />in favor of another home being built on this lot. <br />Motion by Commissioner Schiller, seconded by Commissioner Field, to close the public hearing. <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Levine, Commissioners Bauer, Field, Brauer, Perez, <br />Schiller, and Van Scoy. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br />Chairperson Levine closed the public hearing closed at 7:14 p.m. <br />Commission Business <br />Development Services Managers Gladhill commented that it appears that the subject property <br />could not be further subdivided under the proposed zoning, which means at most, one single <br />family home could be placed on the site. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy requested further information on the subject property and questioned <br />the current zoning. <br />Development Services Manager Gladhill indicated the current zoning was Public/Quasi Public, <br />which means the site could have been used for a park. However, the site was never dedicated to <br />the public. He then reviewed the property profile in further detail. <br />Commissioner Brauer asked if this parcel was given to the City in lieu of park dedication fees. <br />Development Services Manager stated this may have been the case as the parcel could be <br />converted to cash in the future to satisfy the park dedication obligation. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy inquired if there were other dedicated parcels in the neighborhood. <br />Planning Commission/September 6, 2012 <br />Page 4 of 18 <br />
