Motion by Councilmember Beyer and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to refer the Good Value's rezoning request back to the Planning Commission. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Beyer, Zimmerman, Beahen and Peterson. Voting No: None. Case #20: Request for Preliminary Plat Approval of Pondview; Case of Good Value Homes Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that the proposed preliminary plat requested approval of 149 residential lots with two accesses onto County Road #116 and one access onto County Road #56 The developer has modified the rezoning request which would reduce the amount of property to be rezoned to residential and retain some induslrial property adjacent to County Road #56. The developer has also made some modifications to the plat which consist of dead-ending 147th Avenue at the east boundary of the industrial parcel and extending Limonite Street north to 149th Lane in Peltzer Addition as a through street. John Peterson, Good Value Homes, stated he really does not want to do both the connection of 147th and County Road #56 and 149th to Limonite. He felt that if 147th is done as a through street, it does limit the flexibility a bit on the commercial piece. He realized this would go back to the Planning Commission, but he was interested in Council's feelings on the accesses. City Attorney Goodrich, concerning a new public hearing on the plat, stated that if it changes the traffic pattern as it affects the actual development, it would be in the best interest to have another public hearing. Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to send this preliminary plat back to the Planning Commission to conduct a public hearing to make sure all residents in the area have the opportunity to give their points of view. Further discussion: Councilmember Peterson inquired if Council is recommending where the roads should go. Councilmember Zimmerman stated he has no problem with the plan the way k is. Councilmember Peterson stated that would be extending Limonite north to 149th and would that be Council's recommendation, even if the County didn't like it. Councilmember Zimmerman replied affmnafive. Councilmember Zimmerman stated an extension to 147th to County Road #56 should become part of the plat. John Peterson stated if it were approved the way it is (147th terminating at west boundary of residential property), the developer of the commercial strip would have more control and flexibility as to where the access goes. He was hoping he would not have to build both these roads and suggested getting a recommendation from the Planning Commission. He stated what he really wants is to terminate 147th at the boundary of the industrial parcel and extend Limonite to 149th, but that's going against the County recommendation. If Council wants 147th extended to the County Road, then he really does not want to extend Limonite to 149th. Councilmember Peterson inquired if the motion suggested anything. Councilmember Zimmerman replied that it suggests that John Peterson build the 147th out to County Road #56 and Limonite to 149th. Ms. Frolik stated that the Planning Commission has recommended that Mr. Peterson not construct Limonite as a through street to 149th. Councilmember Zimmerman felt that 149th is needed for access. Councilmember Peterson stated he would rather send this back to the Planning Commission without a recommendation. Amendment by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to extend 147th Avenue west to connect with County Road #56 and Limonite north to intersect 149th. Motion failed. Voting Yes: Councilmembers Zimmerman and Beyer. Voting No: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Beahen and Peterson. City Council/February 13, 1996 Page 19 of 32
