I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />! <br />I <br /> <br />Dick Hart~an -iThere are some changes to the zoning ordinance I would like to <br />see and th~sei~roposed changes which the charter will allow being put to a vote, <br />should al~6 be'[voted on at the charter election. <br /> <br />Chairman Heit~n - If a given section of the charter is proven to be illegal, <br />then all sections of that charter related or interelated to that section also <br />become i11egal~ <br /> <br />Commissioner Bauerkemper - The zoning changes that Mr. Hartman wants would have <br />to be voted oniafter the adoption of the Charter by way of the Chapter 5, <br />Initiative and!Referendum. You have to adopt the process to make changes <br />before yo~!can~adopt the changes. <br /> <br />Ken Peterson -~Requested explanation on Section 8.05.02, regarding 25% of the <br />people being able to stop a project. <br /> <br />Commis$iongr B~chanan - When a project is less than 100%, a petition filed by <br />a number equal! to 25% of the registered voters, can stop the project. <br /> <br />Commissioner S~eber - Twenty-five percent can force it to an election, not <br />stop it. <br /> <br />Ken PetersOn -~ Stated that the charter reads 25% can stop the project as proposed. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />! <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />! <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Jack I~peli - This reads as though 25% of the people can stop a project even <br />if 75% a~e~in ~avor of it. Mr. Ippel then referred to the summary that was <br />mailed out~an~ noted that it says the Charter will allow the City to operate <br />in an 'eff$ct~e manner'. Is the Commission saying that the current form of <br />governme~tl.i$ i'ineffective'? The summary doesn't tell any of the specifics <br />and it is Uset~ss. <br /> <br />Commissioner ~ichter - That mailing only summarizes a charter. <br /> <br />Mr. Jack I~pei - Earlier in the evening I requested a summary of changes <br />brought abOut,by the Charter and I was told the public meeting notice mailed <br />to all residents contained the summary of the charter also. Now, the <br />Commission~te~ls me the summary included in that mailing is referring to <br />chartersii~ g~neral. <br /> <br />CommissiOner Sieber stated that he was incorrect earlier when he informed <br />Mr. Ippel tha~ the mailing included a summary of the charter; that this <br />mailing do~s ~ot compare the current form of government to what is proposed. <br /> <br />Mr. Ippe1 - Referring to 25% of the people stopping a project stated that throwing <br />road blocks in the way of the developer such as allowin~ 60-~days after the <br />public hea~.in~ for a petition opposihg the project to be.raised, will prohibit <br />development. ~ <br /> <br />CommissiOner Sieber noted that the 60 days waiting period is the only time <br />frame the ~ha~ter requires; if there is no opposing petition the project <br />proceeds as though nothing has happened. <br /> <br />Commissioner ~uchanan - There are some delays built in as protective measures <br />for the ~tiZgn and it is not a judgement on the current council. If all <br />the citizens did not want a project and 3 of the councilmembers did, the <br />citizens.W0Ul~ be powerless. <br /> <br /> ~ Sp CC/February 15, 1984 <br /> Public Meeting <br /> .. _~ Page 7 of 12 <br /> <br /> <br />
