Mr. Straley asked to be heard regarding the STAN STRALEY proposal to rezone.a portion of the Lakeshore Commercial property;'on the south side of Maxwell Bay to a residential use. Mr. Straley felt that the graupiof people that appeared before the Planning Oommission at the public hearing to oppose'the restaurant did not represent all the people in the area and that he would submit a petition in the near future which will indicate that. In Mr. Straley's opinion, the Planning Commission should also consider that the lots would not be very desirable or practical sites for multiple dwellings. Mr. Knutson, representing Cheyennne Land CHEYENNE LAND DEVELOPMENT Development Company, presented a new preliminary plat which incorporated the comments from the last Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Neslund, of Cheyenne Land Development, had addressed a letter to the Planning Commission which was read and filed. Mr. Neslund's letter requested approval of the preliminary plat with the issuance of building permits only for every other lot. The Zoning Administrator reviewed his memo dated January 21, 1974, which points out that State statute requires the Planning Commission hold at least one public hearing on all subdivisions. The memo also pointed out the need to check with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District to see if the wetlands designated on the preliminary plat correspond with the size designated in the Storm Water Runoff Plan. Acting Chairman Van Nest asked that a public PUBLIC HEARING DATE hearing be scheduled for the February Planning Commission meeting.
