Council Minutes of 4/4/06 Great Northern Shopping Center received a copy of this legislation and has not yet contacted the city regarding the matter. The committee unanimously recommended approval of 2006-57. Council Member Dailey Jones made a motion to amend Ordinance No. 2006-57 to add the word "displaying" in two Whereas clauses and in the regulations in Section B. The motion was seconded by Councilman Barker and passed unanimously. Ordinance No. 2006-57 amended. Councilman Gareau amended his BZD Committee report by noting he had reported out on Ordinance 2006-8 and several amendments made to the size and height restrictions to accessory structures; however, a motion had to be made. Councilman Gareau made a motion to amend Ordinance No. 2006-8 to incorporate the changes set forth in the BZD Committee report and as written and set forth in the report. The motion was seconded by Councilman Miller and passed unanimously. Ordinance No. 2006-8 amended. Councilman Tallon amended his Finance Committee report. Councilman Tallon made a motion to relieve Resolution 2006-73 from committee and place it on second reading. The motion was seconded by Councilman Gareau. Roll call: Tallon, yes; Gareau, yes; Miller, stating he is a member of the committee that reviewed the legislation; however, he was ill yesterday and did not attend the committee meeting. He believes it is wise for him to vote no and defer to the majority of Council. Roll call continued: Orlowski, no; Ryan, no; Jones, yes; Barker, yes. The motion received four yes votes and three no votes. Law Director Dubelko advised that, under Council Rule 45, a motion to relieve from committee requires a 2/3 vote of Council unless notice had been given in the preceding meeting that there was going to be the motion to relieve. As notice had not been given, the motion failed for lack of a 2/3 vote of Council. Resolution 2006-73 was not relieved from committee. Councilman Gareau made a motion to remove Resolution 2006-73 from the agenda, and the motion was seconded by Councilman Barker. Roll call: Gareau, yes; Barker, yes; Jones, yes; Miller, yes; Orlowski, yes; Ryan, yes; Tallon, yes. The motion passed unanimously. Resolution No. 2006-73 was removed from the agenda. LETTERS AND COMMUNICATIONS The Clerk read a letter addressed to the BZD Committee: "I am unable to attend the March 28 meeting of the BZD Committee of council; however, this letter will express my opposition to both the concept of single-parcel rezoning, as well as the proposed Shadow Wood Development. The Master Plan recommends an entire area for rezoning and development, not a single parcel. The goal should be to establish and encourage future development that is economically viable, compatible, and beneficial to the larger community, as well as provide a reasonable and fair course of action for the current property owners who are engaged in light industry and office use. A high-density cluster development on a single parcel, surrounded by industrially zoned land does not help the community reach that goal. It creates a hardship for the city as well as for the adjacent property owners who are engaged in light industry and office use. 13
