Hearings - continued

that proof of publication of notice of public hearing on request of Eugene N.
Petersen to rezone from "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District to "C -Z"
Conditional Zoning District property generally located at the northwest corner
of Black Hawk Road and Robin Road, as published in the Waterloo Courier on

within 250 feet of the proposed rezoning and the recommendation of approval of
the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission, be received and placed on

92709 - Shirley Black, 3081 Black Hawk Road, opposed the rezoning of the property.
Mrs. Keith Billings, 414 Robin Road, stated that if this rezoning is allowed
this would just open the door for further rezonings. Billings stated that
presently it was a very nice residential neighborhood.
Pat Michaels, 1350 Black Hawk Road, circulated throughout the Council pictures
of the present location with trucks parked in front of the business. Michaels
expressed a concern that truck repairs would take place all night long at the
location.
Eugene Petersen, 1329 Wren Road, stated his concerns were car and truck repairs
could continue in the building and that there was an abandoned van presently
used for storage on the lot.
Councilperson Dell questioned with the people changing their minds on the
petition whether that situation should be returned to the Planning, Programming
and Zoning Commission.
Mrs. Averill, the person who would be operating the business at the location,
stated that some truck repair could take place at the location on the outside
of the building. Mrs. Averill continued that in order to repair underneath the
boxes of the dump trucks with the boxes in an up position, the ceiling in the
building would be too low.
Mr. Petersen, owner of the property, stated that his attorney has advised him
that he would not even have to have the property rezoned but wanted to follow
the proper procedures.
Hugh Field, City Attorney, stated that with respect to Mr. Petersen's attorney,
he would suggest that the City Council follow the advice of the City Attorney
and City staff.
Councilperson Budak and Councilperson Wright questioned whether the Council
should be hearing this issue or whether it should be heard by the Board of
Adjustment.
Hugh Field stated that this was a rezoning hearing, not a special permit
hearing.
Don Temeyer, Planning and Development Director, stated that the Planning and
Zoning Department cannot block the use of a building, and in his opinion, this
would have little impact on the neighborhood because of the similar type
operations that the building was being used for. Temeyer stated that the
Council could pass the rezoning with any stipulations that they chose, such as
no repairs of the trucks at night, the storage van on the property be removed,
and remove the snow blades that are presently being stored outside.
Mrs. Petersen, 1329 Wren Road, stated that the business was there long before
the houses were built, and that the property owners should have realized that
some type of business would be operated there for a number of years.

Oral Presentations- continued
Councilperson Buck stated that at one of the previous meetings that evening the
Council discussed the funding of the school crossing guards at various
locations in the City in the amount of $10,000. Buck continued that this is a
perfect example of the type of funding that could come to the Quality of Life
Commission should the Local Option Sales Tax be passed.
Councilperson Brown congratulated Councilperson Dell for receiving his Master
of Arts degree from UNI.
Councilperson Wright stated that she has had several concerns expressed to her
regarding the excessive cost of fire inspection fees that are being charged for
the inspections. Wright stated that she would like to look into this issue.
Mayor McKinley stated that the fire inspection fee was to resolve a manpower
problem in the Fire Department, and that the Ordinance is for one year and will
be reviewed prior to having it re -adopted next year. Councilperson Angel
questioned whether the businesses could be notified prior to the inspection
fee.
Assistant Fire Chief Frank Magsamen stated that if notifications were sent out
by certified or registered letter, this would just add cost to the inspection
fees.
Councilperson Dell stated that recently an individual was hurt crossing the
train on the Chicago Central crossing on East Fourth Street. Dell continued
that he would be in hopes that the Council could move swiftly with getting a
walkway over the train tracks.
