Wright, requesting rezoning of 0.08 acres from A- Agricultural to R-Residential, of a certain property described as being located in the NW 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 22, Township 81 North, Range 8 West of the 5th P.M. in Johnson County, Iowa. The property is located on the east side of Derby Ave NW approximately 3,300 feet south of its intersection with Plotz Road NW, in Monroe Township. Scott Ritter with Hart Fredrick Consultants spoke about the application.

Roll call: aye: Carberry, Green-Douglass, Harney, Rettig, Sullivan. Convened Public Hearing on Zoning Application 26282 at 5:37 p.m. Rezoning Application 26282 of BA&K Inc., Signed by Aaron Klosterman, requesting rezon- ing of 25.12 acres from A-Agricultural to AR-Agricultural Residential, of a certain property described as being located in the NE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 18, Township 81 North, Range 6 West of the 5th EM. in Johnson County, Iowa. The property is located on the west side of Sandy Beach Road NE approximately 650 feet south of its intersection with 140th Street NE, in Big Grove Township. Harney said he agrees that sensitive areas needs to be addressed but he has concerns about the road cpunt and said the closest gravel road does not flood. Brouse said 140th Street does flood, but Naples Avenue does not flood. There would likely be egress. Sullivan asked if staff discussed conditional zoning. Brouse summarized a conversation on this subject he had with Assistant PDS Administrator Josh Busard and the applicant. Rettig said this is a difficult application because the area was platted so long ago. She suggested the applicant consider rezoning the area to AR-10, or find another way to get rid of the potential for six houses. Also, she is not interested in pursuing this application without storm water man- agement and sensitive areas regulations. Harney said he has the same concerns. He would agree to a Conditional Zoning Agreement that limits the number of houses to two. Brouse spoke about additional steps the applicant will have to take if he applies for AR-10 zoning. Officials discussed the awkward panhandle area that is included in the North Corridor Develop- ment Area. Assistant County Attorney Andy Chappoll said the Board could possibly accomplish everything they want with a Conditional Zoning Agreement, or the applicant could withdraw this applica- tion and file a different application for another zoning. Officials continued to discuss the number of lots and Road Performance Standards. Carberry said there may be equity issues pertaining to how other lot owners would be affected by conditional zoning. Sullivan asked Chappell how the Board would proceed if the applicant wants to compromise. Chappell replied the only requirement is that a Conditional Zoning Agreement must be signed before the Public Hearing doses. Glen Meisner of MMS Consultants, Inc., applicant Aaron Klosterman, and Attorney Ryan Prahm spoke for the application. A straw poll of Board members indicated they are interested in pursuing a Conditional Zoning Agreement to address storm water management and sensitive areas. Chappell advised the Board how to address accessory buildings. Klosterman requested the Board defer the application. Motion by Rettig, second by Harney, to continue the Public Hearing and defer consideration of Zoning Application 26282 to March 24, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. Convened Public Hearing on Zoning Application 26295 at 6:29 p.m. Rezoning Application 26295 of Allan D Meier, requesting rezoning of 5.08 acres from R-Res- idential to AR-Agricultural Residential, of a certain property described as Lot 1 of Brarmaman's North Addition and is located in the NE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 11, Township 81 North, Range 5 West oftbe 5th EM. in Johnson County, Iowa. The property is located on the cul-de-sac of North End Court NE approximately 600 feet northeast of its intersection with White Oak Ave NE, in Cedar Township. Hamey'asked for clarification on how Agricultural Residential zoning is different from Residen- tial zoning. Brouse said the same home business rules apply but AR allows different conditional uses, including recreational uses, and has different animal rules. Harney asked about access to the lot and Brouse replied. Sullivan noted his concern with a loophole; there is an extremely steep slope to the noah and the area is heavily wooded, and the only way to gain access is to build a road through this very sensitive area, yet the Sensitive Areas Ordinance does not apply here. Rettig said she does not want to support the application without certain conditions and said PDS Soil and Water Conservation Specialist Kate Giarmini should help determine these conditions. Sullivan,nAked Chappell to comment on how to proceed if the Board wants a Conditional Zoning Agreement with this application. Chappell said if there are concerns related to the nature of the land, the Board may place conditions on the zoning. Green-Douglass said she thinks the Board would be irresponsible if they pursue this zoning, without conditions, with the topography and current access points; too much land is likely to get disrupted. Bob Hoosier spoke for the application. Chappell advised the Board on language that will best address the specific concerns with sensi- tive areas and stormwater management should the Board agree to a Conditional Zoning Agree- ment. Motion by Rettig, second by Hamey, to continue the Public Hearing and defer consideration of Zoning Application 26295 to March 17, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. Convened Public Hearing on Subdivision Application 26088 at 6:50 p.m, Subdivision Application 26088 ofKeith Rayner, requesting preliminary and final plat approval of Pleasant Valley Acres Subdivision, a farmstead split described as being located in the W 1/2 of the SE 1/4 of Section 36, Township 78 North, Range 6 West of the 5th EM. in Johnson County, Iowa. This property is located on the north side of 580th Street SE approximately 2,000 feet west of its intersection with Sioux Avenue SE, in Pleasant Valley Township. Brouse said all oftbe documents are complete and staffrecommends approval of the application. Green-Douglass asked about the permitted lot size of farmstead splits and Brouse said they can be between one and five acres. Hamey asked iftbe farmer will have an issue with access to either side of the farm since the driveway is so long. Brouse said the farmer has many access points around the property. No one from the public spoke. Public Hearing closed at 6:52 p.m. RESOLUTION 03-08-16-01 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FINAL PLAT AND SUBDIVIDER'S AGREEMENT OF PLEASANT VALLEY ACRES SUBDIVISION JOHNSON COUNTY, IOWA Whereas, the owner has filed application 26088 for approval of the final plat of Pleasant Valley Acres Subdivision and Whereas, the County Zoning Commission having studied said application recommends that the plat be approved.
