MR. CAIRNS QUESTIONED THE STATUS OF THE 48 ACRES WEST OF THE 36 ALREADY REZONED TO R -2B, ON WHICH ACREAGE HE FELT IT HAD BEEN INDICATED THAT IF THEY REZONED, THEN THE SITE PLAN WOULD BE PROCESSED AND ALSO THAT S UNITS AN ACRE WAS A FIGURE ON WHICH THEY COULD RELY. CHAIRMAN LYONS EMPHASIZED THAT ACCEPTING THE SITE PLAN WAS STRICTLY UP TO THE PLANNING DIRECTOR AND THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BARGAINED REZONING OR A BARGAINED SITE PLAN. COMMISSIONER WODTKE NOTED THAT WHAT WE ARE DISCUSSING TODAY IS INSTIGATING A REZONING ACTION TO BRING SPECIFIC LANDS IN COMPLIANCE WITH OUR 1975 MASTER LAND USE PLAN, WHICH WOULD BE AT A DENSITY OF S UNITS PER ACRE. HE POINTED OUT THAT THE OWNER OF A PORTION OF THE ACREAGE IN QUESTION APPARENTLY ALREADY HAS INITIATED ACTION TO BRING THAT LAND IN COMPLIANCE, AND -NOW THE COUNTY -'IS CONTEMPLATING THE SAME ACTION. ATTORNEY COLLINS DID NOT BELIEVE IT MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE WHO INITIATES THIS ACTION, AND MR. REVER CONFIRMED THAT AN APPLICATION FOR REZONING THE 48 ACRES DISCUSSED BY MR. CAIRNS HAS BEEN RECEIVED. HE STATED THAT IT WAS LEFT UP TO HIM TO ACCEPT THEIR SITE PLAN, AND HE DID SO ON THE PREMISE THAT THEY WOULD SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR REZONING THE REMAINDER OF THE LAND; HE, THEREFORE, NOW WILL PROCEED TO REVIEW AND COMMENT ON THAT APPLICATION AND TAKE IT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. PSR. REVER FURTHER BELIEVED THAT THE BOARD INDICATED THEY DID NOT WISH TO SEE ANYTHING APPROVED UNTIL THE RE- ZONING WAS ACCOMPLISHED ONE WAY OR ANOTHER; SO, THEY ARE WORKING CONCURRENTLY TO PROCESS BOTH BUT HOLDING OFF DECISION ON THE SITE PLAN UNTIL THE REZONING IS ACCOMPLISHED. MR. CAIRNS POINTED OUT THAT THE SITE PLAN ALREADY MEETS BOTH R-2 OR R -2B REQUIREMENTS; S0, ACTUALLY THE REZONING DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT THE ATTORNEYS REPRESENTING THE PARTIES INVOLVED ALL HAVE AGREED THAT NOTHING WOULD BE DONE UNTIL THE REZONING HAS TAKEN PLACE, AND WE HAVE BEEN OPERATING UNDER THAT ASSUMP- TION. 42
