Community Development Director Gladhill reported the impacts would be very minimal to adjacent property owners. Norm Novak, 7041 175th Avenue, indicated he has lived in his home for the past 16 years. He explained his property abuts the proposed project as well. He stated he has been trying to purchase five or six acres from the applicant for some time and was told by the City the property could not be rezoned. He expressed frustration that he was not able to purchase these five acres. Community Development Director Gladhill commented the property owner and Mr. Novak could come to an agreement, but recommended this remain separate from the request before the Planning Commission. Josh Peterson, 7009 175th Avenue, stated he did speak to all of his neighbors north of 175th and west of Nowthen Boulevard. He stated all but three or four signed off on the project.
