community first of all  understand we cannot subdivide in terms on land the family needs to settle some estate matters and is requesting this property and the community plan community plan actually says single family residential so in keeping with the council's original resolution  but also keeping with the community plan we thought let's propose our three residential that follows the community plan but make a minimum lot size two acres that follows the council's resolution and  you know when we went to public hearing on malk i there were no there were no objections there was no concerns issued about this as you know that community if they have concern about things they will let you know so i feel very good about recommending approval for this as the final commission years to queens hospital but when he came out to seek my assistance it was what a process we have to go through so that i can settle matters before i'm hala or i leave this or you know and it has been quite a process but thanks to the assistance of directors we've been able to come to this conclusion and uncle here who wants to take care of the matter and make sure that the of the younger generation have their full share and he can take care of what he needs to take here from his side get this resolved then paid out thousand and thousands of dollars just to tell him or we cannot do anything because you're interim zoning and and so then he comes to me as a council member to see how we can help so as it states here we're trying to have it in accordance so that we don't have to go through a amendment to the community plan and push forward so that he can finish up so i just hope we can put things in perspective for the and graham bush family can can move forward with with them and hope we can improve on a process so it doesn't take over a year for us to get this resolved and i also want to thank you staffers for helping astrue and chair i really appreciate your a descending of this matter and you hearing this me think each year so and i was just so as i read through the minutes of the planning commission and trying to follow the chronological order here because sorry i missed the original meeting that came to the column the result came out of this council and i was out perhaps it might mean i'm not sure but so i was in there for those up proceedings so i was trying to read back on how it got to where it is today so my but you can still do the minimum to in ag so i'm just trying to figure out why it's almost and then are three allows you to further sizing down but you're putting a condition that you can't do that so i'm just trying to still figure out why are we moving into our three when the ag zoning birdie provides for the condition is that you put it on our three because we're following the community plan which says single family residential we don't feel we have the option of zoning of agriculture because the community plan says single family  ok so just trying to be consistent what's the existing community plan well that's unless you change the community plan that's what we must follow ok and correct and the the ideas i mean it's still going you're following the community plan which we're required by law to do that in the case of rezoning  the and you can still farm in residential you can still do all kinds of stuff but you can do it in the district you can do those things amendments currently was there any talk of that roam to do the changing somehow because the right the plans being looked at as we speak so great and they wanted what we're basing this on we have not except that the community plan and the land as it nations are remaining the same job the discussion the hope was to get this resolved sooner and when i see the would like to have this resolved is recognizing his age and the need for him to put his estate in place for his family so if we were to wait for the community plan we're looking over a year so we're basing this in consultation with the planning department and the planning commission and why we are dealing with the existing community plan and so it's we're following the law all to say that you can change the zone according to what the community plan has to the assignment for that area which is the r three it doesn't see egg so for that reason we came up with i get first but until as we're going through the process and it was discovered it's not a it's not really so this is why we're we've come back with this other resolutions for the r three and right now it's community plant single family residential currently that's correct ok so i guess if eight down zero i mean if you wanted to down zone something out of more acceptable than others certainly it's within the authority of the council to down designate something and downs own property and all that  in this is me in this particular case there's an understanding the expediency of the needs of the family i don't see i don't see the advantage of taking the time to go through the longer process or wait for the community plan and see what happens with that the if the if the if the concern is some kind of political ration of of residential i mean you're not resolving potential impacts you're not promoting growth by doing this this is i mean you're basically allowing if if we went through the big long process you're basically allowing what this this proposed rezoning as right now so you're not you wouldn't the king neither the community nor the council or the island would gain anything by going through a longer process mean downs only would be a longer process well we'd have to go all the are coming in compliance we're coming into compliance with the community plan and i guess for the breakdown of what's allowed on our three  so that's going to come out to it's fourteen acres so you would get about seven maybe six after roadways and everything and if it was ag you would get about the same amount you would get six possibly seven if you could from able to roadways some way so it's sort of to wash so equal in  ok ok but i guess is just the idea of you know everyone wants to preserve ag keep ag ag the land designation ag and it's just all those would be nice if it could i know it's up to the owner and how they would like it but it was odd for me to follow the chronological order of it being asked to be agc and then it so it seems like more of a down zone from up residential zoning to ag anyways but yet it in the end it gives the owner for applicant what they want ok again i'm not sure what would be gained this is also in the urban district we're not preserving agriculture this is an urban state urban the community plan a single family that's in urban designation and in terms owning is supposed to be temporary and it's been supposed to be temporary since the late fifty's actually you could actually look at this as a down zoning because under interim right now they could do one house pursued thousand square feet i mean that's certainly within your peer purview you have to go through the process but and i really think that this is something that i would like to see us get out of committee today i like to support it i don't see that this is going to cause any major changes or given anybody wonderful event age but i know the advantage that is really important and that is to take care of a cuckoo know who'd like to settle their state affairs while he's still alive and i understand how important it is to the family and i think that the folks on planning commission well they'd spend many many hours watching them on t v sometimes i'm really grateful that i can watch them on t v it must be very difficult to sit there for hours and hours but they're very very dedicated and they spend a lot of time looking at detail and trying to make sure that things are protected i'm ok so with their recommendation tear and that of our colleague from i feel very comfortable in supporting this thank you what the community plan says but in the meantime until you get out of the interim you can have one home for every six thousand square feet for the fourteen thousand and eight to fourteen hundred acres and it would be a huge subdivision so a community plan ag when it wasn't it was community land president or single family so we're just following the community plan in this in this case thank  last year a think of the year before september and we were hoping to get it resolved by the end of twenty fifteen and now there's seems to be  and come back to that so that we don't have the long drawn out process with dealing with the amendments to the community plan or to wait for the new community man and
