Commissioner Stevens to approve the Minutes of the
July 11, 1983 meeting. 8 Ayes, 0 Nayes.
The Planner summarized the important issues re-
lating to the proposal. Mr. Erickson then explained
the development and submitted an appraisal report by
~ local realtor indicating that no adverse property
value impacts would result from the development.
Mr. Steve Hyland an appraiser hired by nearby
neighbors indicated that he felt the obstruction of
the view of a lake or river would have a negative
effect on the property values of nearby homes. Mr.
Harley Watson presented the Commission with a memo
opposing the proposed development, and argued that
the filling matter, contrary to the Planners report,
does have a bearing on their decision, because he
felt the property would not have a large enough
buildable area if the illigal filling had not
occurred. Mr. Mike Matsch also indicated that he
would not be opposed to the development if it were
within the R-2 height limitations, and did not
obstruct the view of nearby neighbors. Mr. Matsch
had also submitted information to the Commission
which expressed concern over whether the proposal
was consistent with Hastings Critical Area Plan
and the character of the area. Mr. Lee Nelson
indicated that he was vague about the difference
between an R-2 special use and a permitted use in
the R-3 district. He also indicated that this
a~peared to be an inappropriate spot zoning. Mr.
Jerry Hoeschens asked if the lift station would
serve other properties.
Moved by Commissioner Swanson, seconded by
Commissioner Simacek to recommend denial of the
proposed rezoning as it would constitute unwarranted
spot zoning, and that it would be unfair to con-
sider this proposal until R-2 special use permits
are defined. 7 Ayes, Reuter Abstaining.
