Summitview and West Chestnut Avenues, Acting Planning Director Loidhamer reported that the
Annexation Review Board and Planning Commission recommend this annexation. He stated that
the staff recommendation,.approved by the Planning Commission,.was'that the property' lying
south of. the Perry Hayes property be zoned R -1, Single Family Zone; the service station at
56th and Summitview be zoned B. -2, Local Business Zone; and the remainder of the 5 acre
parcel zoned R•3, Multiple Family Zone. Lee Campbell, President of Glascam Builders, was
present and stated that he will accept the R-w1 zoning for the time being, but would. •
strongly recommend that the City Council consider zoning the Hayes property as business '
zone, since he believes a business zone would act as a buffer between the proposed apart-
ment area and.the arterial traffic noise. Mr. Walton, property owner in this vicinity,
requested that the annexation be held in abeyance until he can have a further study of
the law enabling this kind of action'to take'place. Mrs. Jennie Keller, 10 S. 55th Avenue,
indicated opposition to the 'annexation, stating that her property would be an island sur
rounded by the city. Councilman Kurbitz stated that Mr. Hayes was not able to be at this
• meeting, and MOVED that this hearing be postponed until next week. Motion failed for lack
of a second. On further questioning,. Mr. Loidhamer stated .that since there is in excess
of 20 acres zoned for commercial use in that area now, the staff did not recommend further
commercial zoning. He further stated that the Hayes property might be developed by the
construction. of an apartment, since it is on an arterial and adjacent to shopping faci-
lities, if an application for a change in zoning were approved by the Planning Commission
at a later date. He also stated that further study is being made of planning regulations
for a different development of the property. Councilman Robinson stated that he would
like to see a different development of the Hayes property but will support the Planning
Commission recommendation. After due discussion, it was MOVED by Lambert, seconded by
McNeice, that Ordinance No. 1001 providing for said annexation be passed as read: carried
Keith, Kurbitz, Lambert, Larson, McNeice, and Robinson voting aye on roll Brown

exclusion of this property. He stated that the property of Mr. and Mrs. Hicks now is con-
nected to the City Water System by way of a line in an easement through private property.

Hicks property has never been assessed for water service, that this is a bootleg connec --
tion, and when it was discovered that this connection had been made an individual meter

of connection. He recommended that there be a reduction in the assessment to compare with
