following members being present: President Postier; Aldermen Allen,
Bluhm, Duffy, Powers, So Tinger and Strain. Absent: None.
B-1 A Hearing to consider the Application for Planned Unit Development
(PUD) (Amended Concept Statement) on Resurrection•Evangelical Luth-
eran Church. .
Wishing to be.heard was Pastor Larry Cross, 415 14th Street N.W.
Pastor Cross.handed out a brochure to Council members outlining varioi
information pertinent to the PUD application. Pastor Cross noted the
problems the Church has faced during the past years in trying to
secure an acceptable buyer for the property and the process of presen-
ation to the Council for approval. Currently, the prospective buyer
is Dr. Ardon Crandall, chiropractor, who would occupy commercial area
of 1189 square feet (as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Com-
mission). Pastor Cross stated that such a business would not allow
for excessive vehicular use of the existing streets; a PUD would not
mean that further commercial development would_be allowed in the
neighborhood, etc. He asked that if the chiropractic office did not
purchase the property and the Councilgranted the PUD, would the
property then be restricted in any way from being used in the normal
R-1 capacity: Finally, Dr. Cross asked the Council to agree on what
percentage of the property can be used for commercial purposes.
Wishing to be heard.was John Ahmann, 1506 Fourth Avenue N.W., and
Robert Adams, 1412 Fourth Avenue N.W. Mr. Ahmann and Mr. Adams
presented a petition signed by 153 property owners who are against
any type of commercial development, including the proposed PUD, withii
their neighborhood. The neighborhood felt that traffic flow would be
increased considerably, that commercial development is nearby where
such a business could -locate; and if granted, the.PUD would be spot
zoning. When asked by Council members how the neighborhood would feel
about a six-plex development from the church property, Mr. Adams
stated.that he would have to talk with the persons on the petition;
he felt that he was not in a position to answer for them. Mr. Adams
pointed out that the property is not out of the 100-year flood plain
which is contrary to what was learned from the Planning Department.
Ron Bailey, Planning Department, stated that the property is out of
the 100-year flood plain but is in the 500-year flood plain.
Wishing to be heard was Joe Albrecht, 1321 Second Avenue N.W., op-
posing the amended PUD.
Wishing to be heard was Betty Milkanin, 1411 Eighth Avenue N.W., op-
posing the amended PUD and also the concept of a six-.plex.
Wishing to be heard was Joe Charris, 603 14th Street N.W., opposing
commercial use of the building and the idea of a six-plex.

ment could pose a.potential flooding problem for the neighborhood.

results.of flooding from the drainage ditches in the area. He pro-
posed that the houses within the development be elevated the same
height_. as the surrounding houses but that the streets be lowered to
