Item #2 #24-68 Consider Rezoning Petition involving 10 acres from R-L, Low Density Residential to M-L, Low Density Mobile Home District. Bob Engelke: Located,plans shown,though no action required on plans. Question on boundaries and number of spaces answered. Chuck Hoffman: Moving screening and widening existing street along east side of existing park. Existing park to be completed by the end of May, 1968. Screening to be planted now - lot size, large as (nearly) as one -family dwelling lots. • Don Smith: Adjacent land owner - Does the value of his property go up when the new use goes in? What about money he loses, if he does? Refers to six new service stations. Can't see where this application helps him. Don Stuart: Will this zoning damage value of property or has the damage already been done by the station? Don Smith: Damage probably already done. Chuck Hoffman: Smith home is east of nearest trailer south of Mulberry. Some of the area is to be grassed park area. Discussion relative to street patterns with the M.H. Park. Smith property was not in the City when he purchased it. Already was zoned business. Mrs. Thelma Johnson: Owns property immediately to south. Has R-L zoning on part adjoining subject land. Her zoning discussed - Has some R-M and some B-P also Street extension discussed (Orchard Avenue) to curve through Johnson property. Chuck Hoffman: Great expense to keep Low Density atmosphere in neighborhood - would oppose high density on Johnson property. Mrs. Chuck Hoffman: Have been turning people away from their park - asset to Fort Collins - only a few mobile homes more than two or three years old. Nice people occupy the units. Hoffmans have been complimented. Don Smith: Mrs. Hoffman is involved in park - others have not changed their thinking. Marcile Wood: Asked about screen planting across the south ' end of the property. Was told it should be provided. Resident: All around going to be apartment houses - wants vicinity left as residential. Objects to any change plans up in June meeting. Charles Rhoades. M.H. image changing, 1 of 7 is M.H. dweller, questions continuing -lower value? yPLANNING & ZONING - 4TES Page 2 • May 7, 1968 Motion to approve. • Mrs. Wood: Seconded the motion. All Ayes. Item #3 #25-68 Consider Rezoning Petition involving .63 acres from R-L, Low Density Residential to B-L, Limited Business District. Read by acting Chairman, Lynn Anduss in view of withdrawal by Don Stuart. Bob Engelke: Located the property and discussed the proposed covenants - recommends action on zoning only. Bill Allen: In the development business want zoning to be specific for their proposed use. Contract with the City seems to be the answer. Owners nearby were not opposed to their use. Were opposed to other B-L uses. Had appraiser go out and give report on values. Want to be subject to B-P site review process. Don't want to become a part of a "shopping center". Circulated petitions to nearby land owners for information and signing - petitions and map presented. Have asked the petition not be acted upon by Council until charter is received from Government. Three thousand square foot building on site. Charles Rhoades: Where would drive -up facilities be? Bill Allen: Off from Drake and perhaps Princeton - No definite plans. Mrs. Sneary: Hasn't seen the restrictions or petition. Were only called on the telephone. One block east @ Harvard and Princeton. Drake Road becoming • busy. Traffic will not be desirable for homes in the area. Appraisals could be misleading. Sees no benefit to nearby owners. Contract probably contingent upon rezoning. Would land revert back to Tiley's? Under the same zoning? Bill Allen: Yes. Dr. Carson: Driveway from Princeton? Again plans not definite - but would probably have driveway @ end of Kane Concourse. Bill Allen: Do not want to rezone for B-P without restriction. Art March: Covenants are between owners. Mr. Coffey: Moved to recommend item. Charles Rhoades: Seconded the motion. All Ayes. Item #4 #26-68 Consider Annexation Petition involving 7.68 acres with 6.95 acres as R-L, Low Density Residential and 0.72 acres as R-M, Medium Density Residential. Bob Engelke: Located the property and explained surrounding zoning. Lynn Anduss: Why go into the new area with R-M? Mr. Miller: About three more lots backing into drainage area - which does not seem as desirable for single family dwellings. Bob Engelke: Dedication of added right of way on Elizabeth and later Clearview. Mr. Miller: Alright on Elizabeth. Bob Engelke: Planning Office feels the extension of R-M not appropriate. Good buffer if left as R-L. PLANNING & ZONING - ATES Page 3 • May 7, 1968 Lynn Anduss: Agrees R-L is appropriate. • Marcile Wood: Felt same as Lynn Anduss.
