Community Development Director Gladhill presented the Staff Report stating the purpose of this case is to discuss a request from AKM Farms (Paxmar) to revise the current draft of the Comprehensive Plan Update to change the future/planned land use of two parcels. This case is for discussion only. The City will have until December of this year to make modifications to the current draft. Commission Business Commissioner Woestehoff asked if Puma Street would ever connect to Highway 10. Community Development Director Gladhill reported this was not in the City's plan. Commissioner Anderson questioned if the one acre lots would have their own well and septic. Community Development Director Gladhill commented these lots were within the MUSA. Commissioner Woestehoff stated he did not support the high density being proposed across the street. He believed there should be a better transition zone. Vice Chairperson VanScoy opened the meeting to comments or question from the public. Alpha Development Parcel: Leslie Clark, 15150 Kangaroo Street, stated her property abuts the R-1 and light yellow property. She recommended this property remain R-1. She did not believe .25 acre lots would be a good fit behind her home. She suggested if the land were rezoned she wanted to see the transition language in writing and recommended this be signed by the developer. Val Krueger, 15210 Kangaroo Street, noted her property abuts the bright yellow parcel. She explained she has lived in her home for the past 40 years. She expressed concern with how the plans for the bright yellow property have changed since a developer approached the City. She encouraged the City to think through how many people would be crammed onto this property and how this would impact the neighborhood. She understood the City could not stop the land from being developed, but encouraged the City to keep the property zoned R-1. Lastly, she commented on how her property value would be adversely impacted if a development with .25 acre lots were placed in her backyard. Vice Chairperson VanScoy questioned what the current zoning was for the bright yellow parcel. Community Development Director Gladhill stated the property was currently zoned R-1 MUSA. He clarified the size of lots that would be allowed today noting the minimum was .25 acres or 80 feet in width. Commissioner Woestehoff asked how large the bright yellow parcel was in size.
