City Council Minutes
February 13. 1989

are dealing with existing utilities. the proposed cluster home concept is
the best configuration of use for the block. He stated he would not be

required for a conditional use permit.

e
Greg Davis owner of surrounding property. stated that the Planning
Commission did not listen to the citizen's concerns. He stated he and

surrounding single family homes.

as opposed to townhomes.
Robert Bischoff of 602 Jackson stated he would like to see the single
family homes in the plat rather than townhomes. He stated townhomes are
difficult to sell and further that cluster homes would be a good buffer
zone for Elk Hills.
Tom McNair of 22175 Grant Street stated that the First National Bank is
involved because in October of 1987. the owner went into bankruptcy. He
indicated that the bank sees this as a better alternative to the present
zoning for townhomes.
Bob Morton. Planning Commission Representative. stated that the Planning
Commission had no problem with the single family home (cluster concept).
Their complaint was with the undersized lots and multiple frontages. The
Planning Commission felt that 17 or 18 homes would be better than the 19
proposed homes and also felt that the multiple frontages should be
eliminated.
Mayor Tralle closed the public hearing.
e
The Council discussed the possibility of double and triple frontage lots
rece1v1ng double and triple assessment charges. The City Administrator
stated that this is covered in the assessment manual.
Councilmember Dobel stated that the fact that there are no cul-de-sacs in
the plat is a help and the fact that sewer and water are already in place
dictates what goes in the plat. He also stated that he would prefer to
see single family as a buffer rather than townhomes.

Councilmember Holmgren indicated that the property is landlocked. He
further stated that this may not be the best solution. however. sewer and
water dictates how the lot lines can be drawn. He further stated he has
not heard any negative comments regarding the proposed concept and that
the present market dictates the need for less expensive single family
homes.

is opposed to the plat due to the density.
