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. 5) OLD BUSINESS: A. A resolution for the vacation of a portion of Wittstruck Road in conjunction with the construction of the Upper Little Nemaha Natural Resource District Dam Number 21.
