Tim Lewis made a motion to approve the minutes from the November 29, 2018 meeting and with a second by Pat Martin and a unanimous yes vote, the minutes were approved. City Administrator Bob Karls told the Board that this meeting was to re-zone property that was recently annexed into the City, but due to a notification issue, was assigned the least restrictive zoning classification of R-1 (Single Family Residential). The City’s petition is to change the R-1 to A-1 (Agricultural). Mr. Don Mackinson asked why the property was zoned R-1 and it was explained to him that property must come in with the most restrictive zoning, if no zoning has been specified. Mr. Mackinson also asked if this parcel would have solar panels on it and Mr. Karls said no. Tim Lewis made a motion to recommend to the City Council to approve the zoning of A-1. Matt Stock seconded the motion and the motion passed with 6 yes votes.
Bill Abraham made a motion to adjourn the meeting and with a second by Pat Martin and a unanimous yes vote, the meeting adjourned at 4:45 p.m.
