i i • t ► i A.J. Tourangeau 1960 Central Avenue Subdivision Page 6 #414 Council was very concerned with traffic problems and pedestrian safety. Council was concerned that this area was to have been zoned LR-IA in 1974 except for Tourangeau's promise that the station would be operated in its same manner indefinitely. They were disturbed that the proposed use was a change from the previous commitments and a change not warranted by the existing problems and hazards. Council would not object to continuing the same type of station use as has historically existed. Tourangeau was asked if he would consider having the station rezoned to LR-IA with a conditional use permit to operate the station as presently operated. Tourangeau said "yes" he would agree to such a rezoning if the subdivision could proceed. Council indicated that this would resolve their concerns. The City attorney requested a copy of the lease and option to buy from Tourangeau. Council moved to refer Item 414 back to the Planning Commission for consideration with the Conditional Use Permit 418. STAFF NOTE - AUGUST 30, 1978 Art Tourangeau and Robert Reutiman were in my office today and they completed an application for rezoning of the station to LR-IA. Reutiman was to supply a letter requesting amendment to the conditional use application #418 to continue operating the station in its present form. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD SEPTEMBER 11, 1978 Planning Commission discussed this item with Tourangeau, Reutiman, Homick and several concerned neighbors. Homick had just withdrawn his conditional use application. A petition from some of the neighbors was delivered to the commissioners. Mr. Tourangeau stated that he wants to expedite the subdivision so he can sell the house. He has been "paying taxes on the property for 100 years" and it is "common knowledge that he does not operate the station". He feels the issues should be separated. J
