Addition and have given them the following conditions for annexation:
I(1) A 301 street be dedicated to the city along westerly line - from
county road to Colorado Street open all the way.
(2) 51 along south edge (county road) for street - and curbed.
(3) 301 dedicated on Colorado Street to west boundary of property and
curbed.
(4) Waiver of right to protest SID to build portion of streets and curbs
along west edge, north and south edge of streets.
Councilman Schwartz reported that the developer, Mr. Fred Sewry, has received and
agreed to these conditions. He therefore sees no reason to delay adopting a
resolution to annex the property.
Discussion followed by protestors of the annexation and members of the council as to
the interpretation of the zoning ordinance. Protestors reiterated their objection to
R2 zoning for the annexation adjoining their property. Councilman Schwartz explained
again that the ordinance is hard to interpret and that they have in the past annexed
property with the zoning that is requested and lived with their decisions. Otherwise
all property zoned in the past and forever in the future would be R1 zoning.
The developer and Councilman Olson assured the protestors that the planned 36 unit
apartment house was not a low cost housing project. Protestors objected to the
Influx of school children in that area when schools are already over crowded.
Councilman Sliter moved that the zoning ordinance be amended with provisions that -
notice be given to adjoining property owners when property with different zoning is
being annexed - notice be given of a public hearing - require three -fourths majority
of the council to pass. Seconded by Councilman Bergstrom. Carried.
Councilman Williams moved that final annexation as passed April 7, 1975, Resolution of
Intention No. 3008, to annex Slams. Addition #19, zoned R2 be adopted if it meets both
City and City -County Planning Board requirements. Seconded by Councilman Allen. Roll
call vote. Councilmen Bergstrom, Olson, Sliter and Williams voted no. Councilmen
Daley, Allen and Schwartz voted yes. Motion to adopt resolution defeated.
Property Owner, Herman Slams, expressed his disappointment that adjoining property
owners objected to his building a fine 36 unit apartment house with i and 2 bedroom
units which will house very few children. He stated further that the City -County Plan-
ning Board will allow him to annex as R1 and that he plans to build (10) 4-plez units
which will all be family units and that he thought he was doing the best thing when he
decided on the apartment house. Protestors thanked the council for the time allowed
them at the council meetings and for the extra time they spent to resolve the problem.
Councilman Williams reported that on July 31st the Municipal Employees Union #256 did
accept the city offer of 8% increase in wages, 41 for insurance and 1% for increment.
On August 5th he delivered letters to the fire and police negotiating teams, reiterat-
ing the city offer and advising them that any increase above the offer would result '
