Development Park, to rezone said parcel from 1-1 to C-J, Service-
Commercial. Councilman Hobbs stated his and the Councils concern
regarding the zoning in the Frontier Development Park and thinks
the Planning Commission should take a good look at it and possible
come up with a Public Hearing to change the zoning of the remaining
lots in that area. Motion made by Councilman Hobbs that Lot 9,
Block 1, Frontier Development Park be changed from 1-1 zoning to
C-J service-commercial. Seconded by Councilman Kurvers. The

Conditional Use of the Open Fields Bruce Pankonin suggested that
no noise should be transmitted beyon@ the property line and use
some type of censor instead of a loud speaker. The applicant
has not finialized the Lighting Plan beaause the City is waiting I
for the location of the parking lot. If the City Council approves
this conditional use for the location of the parking lot, the
Planning Commission wants to see the Lighting Plan and then pass
out their recommendation. Landscaping applies with the Ordinance
division. The Planning Commission recommended that the Council
approve the Conditional Use Permit with the stipulation of a
satisfactory lighting plan be worked out with the City Engineer
and the Planning Commission Council prior to issuance of any
Building Permit, and that the parking lot be shifted to the 25
foot set-back. Cars shall not be parked on the seeded area. If
additional storage is needed, the petitioner should realize that
this is an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit. Councilman
Neveaux made a motion that the Conditional Use Permit be approved
tying in the recommendation of the Planning Commission and the
City Planner who's recommendation is of June 2, 1976 and the City
Engineers recommendation in the same letter. Seconded by Councilman
Hobbs. The following voted in favor & Mayor Klingelhutz, Councilmen
Hobbs, Neveaux and Kurvers. No negative votes. Motion carried.

Variance Request - Platting Requirements j!.\.nollway Es.tates) I
Staff has received a request to sub-divide the 14 acres platt
known as Knollway Estates into two parcels of 9 acres and 5 acres.
Staff recommending that the request be denied as presented on
the basis of the Ordinance itself. Jack Clark was present to
speak for the owners. Ordinance 45 prohibits platting in the
rural area.
Councilman Neveauxl Q~dinance 45 is still in effect and is it
the philosopny of the Council at this time.
Development is being kept out o£ the unsewered
areas and putting it into the areas where
either sewer and water is in or eminent. It
has been the Councils philosophy to promote
development only in the sewered areas. This
must be reaffirmed.
Councilman Hobbs: I disagree. This is a situation of merely
one or two homes not ten. This type of a
situation should be looked at.
Councilman Neveaux: It was the intent to discourage the dividing
of any kind unless the tube was in the ground.
I
Councilman Neveaux moved that the request be denied according to
Staff recommendations. Seconded by Frank Kurvers. The following
voted in favor: Councilmen Neveaux and Kurvers. The following
voted negative: Councilman Hobbs and Mayor Klingelhutz. Motion
fails.
Councilman Hobbs: I want to clarify my position for the record.
I do not mean I would be compeled to vote
for it. I felt it was feasible for the owner
to go through the motions to divide the 14 acre
into two platts and how I would vote would be
dependent on what I saw in front of me at the
time.
Councilman Neveaux: I feel we should talk more about Ordinance 45
with the whole Council.
Mayor Klingelhutz:
In my opinion if any land was feasible for the
Variance, this one was, but someone coming
with 80 acres would have to be taken a good
hard look at.

Authorization to Advertise for Bids, Street Improvement (Laredo
Lane Addition): The City's Consultant Engineers have completed
plans and specifications for streets and curb and gutter in the
Laredo Lane Addition as requested by the Council. It is recommended
