Application Z00024 of Chris L. Mottinger, Swisher, Iowa, requesting rezoning of 16.4 acres from A1 Rural to RS Suburban Residential of certain property described as being in the SE 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 7; Township 80 North; Range 5 West of the 5th P.M. in Johnson County, Iowa (This property is located on the west side of Highway #1 NE, approximately 1/4 of a mile north of its intersection with Newport Road NE in Newport Twp.).

Joanne Nelson spoke against the application. Chris L. Mottinger and Glen Meisner of MMS Consultants, Inc. spoke for the application.

There was considerable discussion by the Board of Supervisors about in-fill development in the North Corridor and the Road Management Plan. Thompson said there are a lot of available lots in the North Corridor and doesn’t see the point to rezone this property adjacent to active farm operations. Jordahl said this application conflicts with adjacent farmland, and the Board has denied similar applications in the past. Stutsman said she supports this application because this land shouldn’t be farmed, is on a State highway, and is on the edge of the North Corridor, making it the most appropriate use of the land. Jordahl said the road has 6,800 cars a day on it and adding a number of driveway access points creates a safety problem.

Motion by Jordahl, second by Thompson, to deny Application Z00024. Roll Call: aye: Jordahl, Thompson; nay: Lehman, Stutsman; absent: Duffy.

Motion by Lehman, second by Stutsman, to waive the requirement of three considerations before amending an ordinance and to approve Application Z00024 on first and second consideration. Roll call: aye: Lehman, Stutsman; nay: Jordahl, Thompson; absent: Duffy.
