BOOK 65 <br />f}'.�� <br />��� <br />AUG 2 6 uC.5p�� <br />DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS <br />Ralmar Associates, Inc., have submitted a written request to the <br />Board to postpone the public hearing on their appeal of the <br />Planning and Zoning Commission's denial of their request to <br />rezone 26.2 acres located on the north side of 16th Street and <br />the east side of Kings Highway from A-1, Agricultural District; <br />to RS -6, Single -Family Residential District. The applicant is <br />requesting a postponement of sixty -to -ninety days. <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS <br />This rezoning has already been advertised for the September 2nd <br />public hearing, and surrounding property owner notices have <br />already been mailed. Based on these actions, the staff feels. <br />that the interested parties have been notified and some are <br />planning to attend the scheduled public hearing. If the public <br />hearing is postponed, staff feels that it should be readvertised <br />and that new surrounding property owner notices should be mailed. <br />The applicants have stated that they would be willing to cover <br />the costs involved in readvertising. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Planning Department will be ready to make a recommendation on <br />this rezoning appeal on September 2nd. However, the staff would <br />not oppose a postponement of the public hearing. <br />Commissioner Wodtke asked why Ralmar is requesting a post- <br />ponement, and Richard Shearer, Chief of Long -Range Planning, <br />advised that Ralmar wished to have more time to prepare their <br />case and meet with the residents in the area to ease their <br />---concerns re the higher densities and traffic impact. <br />Commissioner Wodtke suggested that the Board authorize staff <br />to postpone the public hearing scheduled for September 2, 1986, <br />for a period of 60-90 days with the understanding that Ralmar, at <br />their cost, 'must readvertise and send out notices to all the <br />property owners in the area that the September 2nd hearing has <br />been postponed to a specific date. <br />Commissioner Lyons pointed out how difficult it would be to <br />notify everyone because of the upcoming holiday weekend. <br />Chairman Scurlock felt we should go ahead and meet next <br />Tuesday, and if enough people want to take it up that day, then <br />that is the way we will go. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0) <br />agreed to take no action today on this matter. <br />42 <br />
