VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. 8. #08 -3368 CITY OF ORONO, NAVARRE — REZONING — ORDINANCE NO. 46, THIRD SERIES Peter Johnson, Attorney -at -Law, was present on behalf of Bank of the Lakes. Murphy stated he did not put this on the Consent Agenda because he was unsure what exactly the bank was requesting. Murphy commented the Planning Commission minutes do not shed light on the bank issue. • Johnson stated the bank would prefer not to be involved in the rezoning for the parcel they own and would prefer to maintain the status quo. Johnson noted one of the city's ordinances states if you have split zoning on a parcel, you are allowed to use the zoning for 50 feet on either side of the line. -In this particular case, the parcel is 93 feet wide and a line down the middle. Johnson stated both of the current zoning classifications essentially would cover almost the entire parcel if there was a plan to develop the land, which the bank currently does not have any plans to develop the property. Johnson requested the • bank located at 2445 Shadywood Road not be included in the rezoning. White asked what the impact would be if that property is not included. Rahn noted the ordinance is designed to clean up the zoning in this area.
