Commissioner Walker asked when the property was zoned into R-1 MUSA. City Planner McCann commented that he did not have that information on hand. Commissioner Walker asked if the rezoning was more recent or whether it occurred in 2011 and sewer and water has not been brought to this area. Senior Planner Anderson commented that he did not have the date but believed that it could have been tied to a previous Comprehensive Plan update and confirmed that it was not done in the past few years. He explained that when a property is zoned MUSA, it is not the intention of the City to bring utilities to that property, but if the property were to develop, the developer would be charged with bringing utilities to the site. Commissioner Walker asked how long the current owner has owned the property. Senior Planner Anderson replied that the property has been in the family for a number of years. Commissioner VanScoy commented that the statement was made that this property is a long distance from existing services and asked where the closest access would be. Senior Planner Anderson replied that the closest access is south of Trott Brook right now, which would be one half mile to three quarters of a mile from this location. He noted that even if the two developments north of Trott Brook move forward, there would still be a quarter mile to this site. Commissioner VanScoy stated that under normal circumstances a property of this size would be developed in multiple lots which would make it more feasible to bring in those services. Senior Planner Anderson confirmed that is an accurate statement. Citizen Input No comments. Motion by Commissioner Peters, seconded by Commissioner Walker, to close the public hearing.
