GEORGE FOX PROPOSED SUBDIVISION:
Jim Worthington, H K M Assoc. representing George Fox, proposes a zone
change, annexation, and trailer court development. Plat and site plans
explained. Discussion. Would like to eliminate alleys and work out some
sort of arrangement with the City for garbage pickup. What about storm
sewers, water lines, fire department, etc.? John MacMartin recommends
filing for annexation first, preparing the document for the Planned
Community Development Act, and appearing before the Planning Board after
proper advertising. Discussion. Tom Bradley voiced his disapproval of
the entire planned development. John MacMartin stated he has no objection
to filing for the zone change first. More discussion. John MacMartin
recommends annexation study, environmental impact statement, request for
zone change, etc. perhaps all could be presented at once. John will
prepare a Residential - Mobile Home Ordinance for the Council's consideration,
also to coordinate with this zone change request as the City does not
presently have a zoning ordinance to cover zoning of mobile home parks.
Additional discussion.
