New Business and Public Comment:
Kelly Taylor – Does the city have any new updates or knowledge along that line of zoning of his property? He would like to know right now what his property is zoned for today. His first step would be to get his property rezoned. He is requesting a zoning hearing to see what is involved and what is requested to get a portion of his property zoned commercial and a portion zoned residential ag, he would like to keep the portion that is watered by the pivot line agricultural. Mayor outlined to Mr. Taylor that his plan must fit the growth outlined in the general plan, land developers will have a time line to finish all roads, utilities installation and there will be fines if it doesn’t get gone as proposed to the council. As of right now the minimum lot size is one acre. If he splits his property into more than 3 lots than he is considered a subdivision and would be under the developer subdivision ordinances. A septic tank can not be installed if the property is within the town boundaries. Kelly will need to consult with his engineer to see what will be needed for him to connect to the town wastewater system.
