        Lancaster County, Nebraska. (Preliminary Plat 97024)
        (1998940) (19981025)

    The Chair opened the public hearings and asked if anyone wished to
    testify in favor of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Change of Zone,
    Special Permit or Preliminary Plat.

    Peter Katt, attorney representing Steve Champoux of Prairie Homes,
    appeared and gave a brief history stating that the application was
    originally before the Planning Commission in August of 1995 and placed
    on pending because the County component of the Comprehensive Plan was
    deficient. In September, 1996 the Board accepted the County
    Comprehensive Plan Task Force report.  The informational packet was
    forwarded to the Super Commons for discussion in October, 1996 and
    included the following Task Force recommendations:

4)  PUBLIC HEARINGS CONTINUED:

    - Comprehensive Plan Text Change Amendments
    - Changes to tables
    - Recommendation for review and revisions to the County Agriculture
      ordinance
    - Recommendation for review of the need for additional Agricultural
      Residential zoning

    Katt further stated that in January, 1997 certain elements of the County
    Task Force plan were updated as a part of the annual Comprehensive Plan
    review.  He stated Planning staff proposed a moratorium on acreage
    development within the three-mile limit which was rejected by the
    Planning Commission, City Council and the County Board.  Katt then
    disseminated the following documentation in connection with the
    moratorium:

    A chart showing residential building activity from 1980 through 1994
    A fact sheet prepared by the Planning Department regarding Comprehensive
      Plan Amendment 94-23-27, pursuant to the 1998 Comprehensive Plan
      Annual Review.
    In February, 1997 the Change of Zone for the Prairie Homes parcel was
    denied and placed on pending subject to submittal of a Preliminary Plat,
    Comprehensive Plan Amendment and a Community Unit Plan.

    Katt stated the fact sheet which the County Board has before them
    regarding the Comprehensive Plan Amendment includes copies of the
    minutes from prior Planning Commission hearings.  Those minutes indicate
    that the County has been without an acreage development policy since
    1994.

    Katt said new home single family residential construction has increased
    on 20 to 40 acre parcels from 14 in 1990, 19 in 1991, 29 in 1992, 33 in
    1993 and 47 in 1994. He stated it is not a wise use of land resources
    in the County to use 20 to 40 acres to construct a home.

    Katt said they believe the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is consistent
    with the plan and should be encouraged.  He stated there is no area from
    98th Street and Interstate 80 to Highway 2 that is appropriate
    for Agriculture Residential development.

    Katt stated water quality and quantity is good and that a community
    wastewater system is proposed.  He also noted that the school district
    is in favor of the development and it would add a substantial increase
    to their tax base.

    Katt spoke to the issue of density and stated the proposal encompasses a
    half section of ground.  The number of units proposed satisfies all of
    the zoning criteria currently in place.  He stated the proposal was for
    40 units to the north and 55 units to the south.

    The developers, Katt stated, have agreed to the following:

    - They will pave 134th Street south to the "A" Street
      intersection
    - The entire project will have internal street paving
    - Provision of community wastewater treatment systems
    - Provision of a community water system

    Hudkins asked Katt if they were now agreeing to pave to "A" Street.

    Katt stated they would be paving to "A" Street and that it was his
    understanding that condition is currently in the requirements.

    In response to a question from Hudkins regarding preliminary figures for
    1996, Katt stated he didn't think Planning staff had updated the table.

    J. Michael Rierden, attorney representing Crooked Creek Liability
    Company and 134th & "O" Street Partnership, appeared and
    stated a Special Permit was granted four to five years ago which
    resulted in the golf course.  Following that a zoning change to
    Agriculture Residential was approved.  Rierden referred to the area at
    134th and "O" Street as a "point of destination" and noted that
    the MoPac Trail is getting more use.  He stated the golf course is a
    candidate for the Nebraska Golf Hall of Fame and possibly the future
    home of the Nebraska Professional Golf Association which is increasing
    the demand for housing in that location. Rierden stated he felt the
    County Board would not be setting a precedent, but would be creating a
    unique opportunity.
    Lastly, Rierden stated his clients are agreeable to all conditions as
    set forth in Planning staff reports.

    The Chair asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition.

    Richard Halvorsen, 6311 Inverness Road, appeared in opposition.  He
    stated he feels the County Board will be setting a precedence if
    approved and added that he is also concerned about police, fire and
    ambulance services to the area.

    In response to a question asked by Hudkins, Halvorsen stated he didn't
    live in the area, but has concerns regarding multiple fires when there
    is only one rural fire district.

    Steinman stated there are a number of different rural fire districts
    which serve specific parts of the County.

    Hudkins stated that the rural fire districts are members of Mutual Aid
    in which they will backup other districts.

    The Chair asked if anyone wished to speak in a neutral position.

    Mike DeKalb, Planning Department, recommended the County not approve the
    Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Change of Zone, Special Permit or
    Preliminary Plat.  A map regarding rural residential uses for the
    Stevens Creek Township was distributed by DeKalb.  He stated he felt
    there has been a rural policy in the Comprehensive Plan since the 1977
    Comprehensive Plan.

    DeKalb stated the proposal was the right thing, but located in the wrong
    place.  He further stated that the proposal doesn't match the
    development in the existing area and the roads are basically done for
    the time being.  DeKalb stated there are no plans for future paving or
    future improvements on 134th Street or on "A" Street.

    Recommendation from DeKalb was to deny the Comprehensive Plan Amendment,
    Change of Zone and Special Permit and defer action on the Community Unit
    Plan.

    Campbell stated the City Council and County Board unanimously called for
    the Planning Department to put together a sub-area plan because there is
    no "yellow" on the map.  The problem for the County Board is that there
    isn't much yellow outside of the three-mile jurisdiction.

    Campbell stated the issue for her continues to be the density and how
    it's treated on a consistent basis.

    Steinman stated a study of the area is in process and its impact on the
    City, County and Stevens Creek area.  She stated she felt it would be
    presumptuous of the County Board to make a decision about the
    development prior to receiving the information from the studies.

    Tussing stated she felt it would be a precedent because it is a higher
    concentration of development in an area that's not contiguous with the
    City.

    Katt stated that the rural fire district, sheriff and school districts
    were notified and have not indicated any inability in serving the
    development.  Katt stated the development meets the criteria for
    properties within the three-mile limit and feels the project satisfies
    concerns and could be a model for inside the three-mile and outside the
    three-mile jurisdiction.

    Hudkins stated he felt the project is well thought out with with many
    merits.  He stated he liked the fact that they  have tried to
    concentrate the homes and employed the clustering concept.

    Svoboda stated he has concerns about preserving the integrity of rural
    areas and indicated he cannot support the development at the present
    time.

    No one else appeared and the Chair closed the public hearings.

    The Chair stated the County Board would like the City Council to delay
    action until after the County Board takes action.

   MOTION: Campbell moved and Svoboda seconded that Comprehensive Plan
           Amendment Number 27b, County Change of Zone 147, County Special

           May 19, 1998 and request that the information be sent to the City
           Council.  On call Steinman, Svoboda, Tussing, Campbell and
