17. CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE #61 GRANTING A
CHANGE OF ZONING ON APPROXIMATELY 457.0480 ACRES OF LAND TO OF-l,
OF-2 AND BUSINESS PARK
Mr. Larry Ludwig, an employee of Fox & Jacobs, said they have given
alot of thought to the concerns of the Council and citizens that
were brought out in the Public Hearings. He then passed out a letter
to Council and read it aloud. It pertained to the covenants they
would put on the property. A copy of this letter is included with
these minutes as EXHIBIT "A". Regarding item #7 in his letter,
he said Fox & Jacobs has no problem with the idea of a six lane
street if warranted at the time the area is developed.
Mrs. Clara Belsevick, Arbor Glen Road, asked if the greenbelt is
still only 50 feet wide. Mr. Ludwing answered, correct.
Councilman Dodds expressed his concerns over the historical value
001996
of Office Creek. He wants as much of the area as possible preserved.
Mr. Ludwig said his main concern was the drainage to the west and
was not sure just how much of it can be preserved in its present
state, however, every attempt would be made to preserve as much
as possible. Councilman Poole told him about a technic being used
in California to preserve creeks and rivers and said the same technic
could possibly be used here. He said he would be interested in
getting more details.
Mr. King, a resident on Arbor Glen, said he was concerned over
whether or not fire equipment would be utilizing his street if
a station is constructed right behind him on Blair Oaks. He was
advised that it would be easier for the fire equipment to travel
south to the east west thoroughfare and then up one of the main
streets, ie. Paige Road, or Main Street.
Councilman Harris had a question regarding the option on the land
at Blair Oaks and Arbor Glen. Would a firestation be the only
thing that could be built on that land if the City decided to purchase
it? Mr. Ludwig responded by answering no. It would however have
to be some sort of government facility.
Councilman Dodds then made a motion to approve the ordinance with
approval from the City Attorney regarding the conenants with the
inclusion of the green belt area and the option on the property
be changed to Municipal use and the east/west street be changed
to six lanes. Councilman Amick seconded his motion.
Councilman Long said he would prefer to table this ordinance until
it can be cleaned up and everything added so that there will be
no questions in anyones minds. Councilman Harris agreed, he said
he would prefer to pass a clean item.
Councilman Dodds then withdrew his first motion and then moved to
table this item for two weeks. Seconded by Councilman Amick, the
motion carried with a unanimous roll call vote.
