HEARING - QUARNSTROM - JOHNSON - PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 122 This was a continuation of a rezone request by Quarnstrom - Johnson. Discussion was opeened to the audience. Gordon Brown, 1531 Bowdoin Way stated he was against any more commercial zoning in the Five - Corners area, as it now contains more than the Comprehensive Plan calls for. George Beaver, 801 16% Avenue So. was against the commercial area because of the many small children in the area. He felt mere business meant more cars, and the roads are not adequate to take care of the extra, and still maintain safety for children. Robert Bell, 1602 Bowdoin Way felt that further commercial would depreciate the value of the homes in the area. Mr. Littell, 1530 Bowdoin said he was against the rezone for the same reasons as the others. Mr. Quarnstrom stated his property was in a different classification with the other homes in the area, as it would not qualify for F.H.A. now. Hearing was then closed, and it was moved by Councilman Harrison, seconded by Councilman Slye that the City Attorney be instructed to draw an ordinance to carry ou the rezone of the Quarn- stoom - Johnson property, as recommended in Planning Commission Resolution #122. Councilman Olds requested that the hearing for Strom Land Development Co. and the Quarnstrom- Johnson property be together, that he was against the rezone of one without the other. He be- lieved that the whole area should be developed with a plan and not in pieces. Councilman Olds moved that the Quarnstrom - Johnson hearing be tabled until after the Strom Land Development hearing. A roll call vote showed 3 for, and 3 against. Motion defeated for lack of a majority. The motion of Councilman 'to carry out the rezone as previously stated was then voted upon. Motion carried. HEARING - STROM LAND DEVELOPMENT CO. - PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION.#121 It was noted that the views of Mr. Brown, Beaver, Bell and Littell, as stated in the Quarnstrom- Johnson hearing also applied to this rezone. A gentleman in the audience asked if the City had ever considered this area as a park and was told by the Mayor that it had been considered. Mr. Bill Wilson, attorney stated that they were not asking for an amendment to�-the Comprehensive Plan, as it is already inclubd as commercial area. He believed the time is now, that a lot of valuable property cannot be used as now zoned. He also stated that his client was prepared to do everything called for in the plan, and abide by the zoning. That it certainly would not be worse looking than it is now. 1 1 • 1 • 1 1 The :ar ingwasthen closed and a motion made by Councilman Olds, seconded by Councilman Bevan thathe appeal of Strom Land Development Co. be granted and the attorney be instructed to draw an oinance to carry out the rezone as denied by Planning Commission Resolution #121.
