The Chair opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to testify
in favor of the allocations.
Dale Arp, past President of the Great Trails Network, appeared in favor
of the allocation for the Wilderness Park Bridge. He stated it was his
understanding that the bridge would serve bikers, City crews and possibly
hikers in the future.
The Chair asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition or in a neutral
position.
No one appeared and the Chair closed the public hearing.
No action was taken because funds were previously allocated.
B. Continuation of a public hearing held on Monday, March 2, 1998 in
the County Commissioners/City Council Chambers, #112, on the first
floor of the County-City Building regarding Comprehensive Plan
Amendment 94-23-26 which amends figure 16 to change property
located generally at 70th Street and Highway 2 from Low
Density Residential to 38 acres of Commercial and 88 acres of
Urban Residential. (98-364)
The Chair reconvened the public hearing and asked if anyone wanted
to testify in favor of the amendment.
Mark Hunzeker, attorney appearing on behalf of Livingston
Investments, stated the amendment was a request for Commercial
designation in the Comprehensive Plan only and that the zoning
would remain Agricultural Residential until such time that the
City Council would change it. He explained that under the zoning
district at the present time the most that could be done with the
property would be the development of acreage type home sites.
Hunzeker said the request made to designate the property Commercial
would be compatible with a neighborhood shopping center, an office
park or a combination of those uses.
He also indicated they had heard all of the neighborhood concerns
and if approval is granted they would spend several months meeting
with the surrounding neighbors and make efforts to address their
concerns and reach consensus regarding the project.
The key component, Hunzeker said, is bringing the sewer up to the
area, particularly to serve the Pine Lakes Subdivision. He
informed the Board that the Livingstons would go forward with
making a contribution to the cost of the sewer upon approval of a
commercial designation.
In response to a question from Campbell, Hunzeker stated it would
take a zoning change on the north side. He explained the entire
126 acres, which includes the Livingstons' property and the Berean
Church property, is presently designated as Low Density
Residential. Hunzeker stated they have requested that all of the
property on the north side be designated as Urban Residential
which would require a change of zone in order to accomplish the
development. A Community Unit Plan and a plat may also be
required.
Hudkins commented that the plan would support a park area and
asked how large it would be.
Hunzeker said the area on the north side of Highway 2 shows
approximately five acres of open space, however, some of the area
is wetlands which would be preserved. He stated there is also an
area at the north end of the Livingstons' property which abuts a
three acre park dedicated in the last plat of Edenton South
Addition and is under discussion with the Edenton South home-
owners. He explained that the Edenton South homeowners are
interested in expanding the park.
Campbell asked Hunzeker to give a brief explanation about the
concerns of the Sanitary Improvement District (S.I.D.)
regarding Pine Lake.
Hunzeker explained that the sewer system serves all of Pine Lake
and that there are some serious problems. He added they have also
become aware that the water system is less than desirable in terms
of quality and pressure. Hunzeker added that the Pine Lake S.I.D.
is willing to work toward annexation.
Tim Stewart, Planning Director, appeared and stated that at the
present time the sewer is laid out and shown in the Comprehensive
Plan, however, it is not currently being studied by the Planning
Department as one of the areas which may be suggested for
annexation.
The Chair asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition or in
a neutral position.
No one appeared and the public hearing was closed.
Action will be taken on Tuesday, March 17, 1998.
