I I I Council Meeting Minutes September 26, 1989 Page 4 Council Business, continued The proposed mi nor subdi vi si on and rezoni ng woul d allow for the construction of additional off-street parking on the Northwestern Be 11 property. The proposed 1 andscape screen woul d buffer the subject site from the residential property to the north and would reduce the impact of the Northwestern Bell site on surrounding land uses. The proposed parking lot would comply with the B-1 District and Parking Ordinance requirements. The proposed rezoning would simply expand the existing B-1 area. Benke asked if future improvements to the parking lot would need Council approval. Locke acknowledged that any improvements made to a parcel require a site plan approval, but does not anticipate any future changes to this particular parcel. Brandt asked about the present land use of the surrounding areas immediately to the north of the proposed rezoning. Locke confirmed that a single family home is located immediately to the north and the surroundi ng areas consi st of other si ngl e fami ly homes and apartment complexes. The portion of the site that is being rezoned is vacant and not in active use. Williams said the Planning Commission recommends approval of the rezoning and feels the utilizing of the vacant land would improve the appearance of the area. Brandt asked if the subdi vi si on change coul d be made without requiring a rezoning of the property. Locke acknowledged that the entire property adjacent to the building should be classified the same. Charlie LeFevere, City Attorney, noted that the Council could delay approval of a subdivision until the zoning issues have been resolved. Williams noted a correction has been made to the site plans to read "a row of 10 foot spruce trees to screen the parki ng lotll instead of lIa row of 10 inch spruce trees.1I Benke said the survey shows a small piece of the lot runs into the right-of-way line and asked if this piece should Je dedicated right- of-way. Locke said this piece may have been originally described incorrectly many years ago. Benke requested this be clarified before the final reading of the proposed ordinance.
