Mayor Pro Tem Schmitt reviewed items on the council agenda for Monday, March 13, 2006 and
the following items were discussed:
1. The request of Jerry Quint and Stacey Folkers to rezone from Agricultural District to
Residential District property located at 5640 Kimball Avenue for the purpose of
residential development. The developer is proposing either splitting the property into
three lots or splitting the property into six different lots ranging from .6 acres to 2.6
acres. The lots would be served by all the necessary utilities, including sanitary sewer
and water services.
2. Amending the Zoning Ordinance to eliminate the 2-acre minimum tract size for "C-
P" Planned Commercial District requests that are within the Consolidated Urban
Revitalization Area (CURA) or Enterprise Zone. Don Temeyer, Community
Planning & Development Director, explained the C-P zoning allows more input from
neighbors and better control by the council. Mr. Temeyer commented that in the
older neighborhoods it is hard to find two acres for development. This will help
David Deeds with his riverfront housing project.
3. Accepting Quit Claim Deeds from Isaiah LaBeaux II for acquisition of 205
Independence Avenue and Mary and James Wilder for 502 Mobile Street.. Mr.
Temeyer explained once we acquire the property then the city will proceed with
obtaining clear title so the property can be demolished and prepared for development.
Paul Huting, Leisure Services Director, announced that the municipal golf courses will be
opening on Friday, March 10, 2006.
With no further business before the council, it was moved by Gunderson, seconded by Welper
that the meeting be adjourned at 8:11 a.m. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
