Re Item 7 C )
I would request that this statement be included as part of the permanent
record of this meeting, for any further reference if needed
1) In suspending the Rules of Council we are suspendinq two different and
far-reaching problems
a) The time element for reconsideration -
In the past nIl reconsiderations would be considered during the following
meeting - if we suspend the Rules we would establish indefinite times for
reconsideration
b) Who can reconsider -
In the past those Councilmembers voting on the prevailing side could call
for reconsideration According to this anyone could call for
reconsioeration
c) Refer to these later
2) I personally feel this item for reconsideration is based on one piece
of property locnted within the area of 35th and 38th Marshall Street to Jay
Street Since the Majority of this area is, and has been developed, let's
call a spade a spade and define the property in question -3705 Jay, 5 24
acres owned presently by my family, and I therefore feel that this item
(for reconsideration) is not for the benefit of the City, but a personal
problem based on the following
a) Ilemo dated 11/21/83 - l-1rs Snow
"Several new and old Councilmembers expressed opinions that the change in
the Comprehensive Plan was not in keeping with their wishes or the wishes
of their constituents" I have personally contacted the "olcl
Councilmembers", other than ~1rs Snow, and they have not indicated that
concern to me The new CouncilmeMbers. if holdinq to their statpments,
that they would wory with the present Council and the citizens, have not
contacteo me, my family, or the Real Estate agent presently handling the
sale of this property
b) The property is and has been zoned as follows
R-2 Under this zoninq a developer would still have
for any change Be it all R-3 or PRD, Council still
The same developer could develop this property as it
Planning Commission's okay or Council's oyay
7./3 R-3 and 1/3
to come before council
will have control
stands without
c) The original chanqe was initiated by the Planninq Commission
Therefore any reconsideration should he referred back to the Commission
Finally and in Conclusion
If this Council votes for this change, where will it end? All decisions
made by the past Councilor Councils can be changed at will The decisions
of this Council can be changed by the next Council, and so on and so on
and
