Sandquist rezone application #114, per Council request at the September 21, 1976 meeting. Mayor Steve entertained favorable comments from the audience. Mr. Sandquist stated that he would waive any comment until after those opposed to his rezone had presented their argument. Those opposed to said rezone request were asked to state their reasons. Those who spoke included Jack Scott, Richard Reed, John Doubek, Terry DeLeo, Debbie Rumbolz and Stanley Anderson. Their reasons were generally as follows: (1) Spot zoning; (2) Would set a precedent and eventually much of this R-l would be rezoned; (3) Streets could not handle the increase in traffic; (4) Fear that entire nature of the area would eventually change to multi-family. There being no further opposition, Mr. Sandquist was asked to make his rebuttal. He claimed that no traffic problem would exist from merely adding 3 or 4 cars ~n the streets. A~so, that his structure would be of good quality. His statement was echoed by Arnie Niska, a neighbor. Mayor Steve then turned the hearing over to the Council for determination. Councilman Wilson asked what Sandquist was going to build. He was told a 2-plex. Wilson asked which would create the most traffic a 2-þ~ex or 8 houses, and stated that 8 houses could be built on the land in question~ ~zoned. The Council discussed the advan- tages of contract zoning which would allow them to approve Sandquist's 2-þlex but would cause the property to revert to R-l if he tried to build anything other than what was approved or if he sold the property. Contract zoning waüld allow control of the property to a specific project. After much debate, it was moved by Councilmen Parker/Klenk that the rezone be denied. Parker, Klenk, Shaneyfelt, yes; Cip~ioti and Wilson, no. Motion carried. Rezone denied.
