platting as Francis Second Subdivision located east of Carleton Avenue and
south of Curran Avenue in Lot 7, and the N1/2 of Lot 8, Bosselman Second
Subdivision from RO Residential Office to and RD Residential Development.
(C-1-2007GI) (See full recommendation.)
Preliminary Plat – Francis Second Subdivision located east of
Carleton Ave. and south of Curran Ave. (16 lots)
Final Plat – Francis Second Subdivision located east of Carleton Ave.
And south of Curran Ave. (16 lots)
5. Public Hearing – Concerning change of zoning for a replat of a tract of land
proposed as Cedar Ridge Third Subdivision located west of Highway 281 and
south of 13th Street in part of Lot 4, all of Lot 5, all of Lot 6, and part of outlot A in
the City of Grand Island. (C-2-2007GI) (See full recommendation.)
Preliminary Plat – Cedar Ridge Third Subdivision located west of
Hwy. 281 and south of 13th St. (15 lots)
Final Plat – Cedar Ridge Third Subdivision located west of
Hwy. 281 and south of 13th St. (15 lots)
6. Preliminary Plat – Prairie Acres Subdivision located west of U.S. Hwy 281
between 13th Street and State Street, east of Summerfield Estates Subdivision.
Shafer Properties L.L.C. is proposing to develop this property (70 acres) with 190
lots in two phases. The property is zoned R4 High Density Residential. Four lots
along 13th and State Streets are large lots that would be appropriate for apartment
development under the current zoning or possible office uses with a zoning change.
Approximately 4 acres of park space is planned in the interior of the development on
the east side. At this time it appears that this would be a private park supported by
the development. There are 185 residential lots that range between 6000 and 7000
square feet per lot. These lots would be suitable for single family or duplex
structures and both would be permitted in the R4 zone. Sewer, water and electric
are available to the subdivision and can be extended to serve the development.
Sewer, water, streets and storm sewer will all be public infrastructure built to city
standards.
CONSENT AGENDA
7. Final Plat – Erickson Subdivision located east of 80th Road between Abbott Rd.
and White Cloud Rd., Hall County, Nebraska. This subdivision splits an existing
farmstead from a tract of 200 acres or more. (1 lot)
8. Final Plat – Bellairs Estate Subdivision located north of Husker Hwy., between
110th Rd. and Schauppsville Rd., Hall County, Nebraska. This subdivision splits
an existing farmstead from a tract of 200 acres or more. (1 lot)
9. Final Plat - CJL Subdivision located north of 13th St. between Burwick Rd. and
110th Rd., Hall County, Nebraska. This is a one time split from a tract of 80 acres
or more. (1 lot)
10. Final Plat – Sterling Estates Subdivision, located east of North Road and north
of West State St. This subdivision creates lots in the R1 Suburban Density
Residential and R4 High Density Residential zoning districts consistent with the
approved preliminary plat for Sterling Estates Subdivision.(54 lots)
11. Final Plat – Summerfield Estates Seventh Subdivision located east of North Rd.
and north of 13th St. This subdivision creates lots in the R1 Suburban Density
Residential zoning districts consistent with the approved preliminary plat for
Summerfield Estates Subdivision. All streets shown on the plat will be improved
to minimum city standards. The developer will be required to grade and gravel
Summerfield Avenue as it extends for future development between the north end
of this subdivision and State Street to provide emergency access to the property
and mitigate the length of the street without access. A water line will also have to
be extended from the north end of the subdivision to connect with the water line
in State Street at this time to provide proper water pressure throughout the
development.(35 lots)
12. Final Plat – Dale Roush Third Subdivision, located north of Navajo Drive and
west of Cherokee Avenue. This subdivision proposes to create one lot and retain
right-of-way at the north end of Cherokee Avenue for the eventual connection of
Cherokee and Independence. This property is owned by the City of Grand Island
and was acquired to facilitate the installation of sewer lines into the Indian Acres
area. The property is zoned LLR. The minimum lot size in the LLR district is
20,000 square feet. The proposed lot is only 14,000 square feet so the planning
commission and council are being asked to waive the minimum size regulations.
This lot is served by both sewer and water so a well and septic system are not
needed. (1 lot)
It is recommended the Planning Commission Approve the conse nt agenda items
as presented.

Community Beautification Awards. He announced that the winner for the
Hall County award was Barb’s Western Grill in Doniphan. The winner for
the Grand Island ward was Drs. Janda and Janda of Dental Health Care.
5. Public Hearings - Concerning a change in zoning for a tract of land
proposed for platting as Sterling Estates Subdivision, located north
of State St. and east of North Rd in the NW1/4 12-11-10, from R1 and
R4 to R1, R4 and RO. (C-22-2006GI)
Chairman O’Neill opened the above mentioned Public Hearing. Nabity stated
that the zoning change requested for the property located between the Moore’s
Creek Drainway, North Road, State Street and Capital Avenue would be in
general conformance with the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The uses
would be consistent with the level of service intended for Capital Avenue, State
Street and North Road. Nabity also noted that this zoning change would make
the zoning consistent with the approved preliminary plat for the property.
Adjustments between the R1 and R4 zone are necessary to allow the
townhomes on the west side of Autumn Park Apartments. The RO zoning in the
northeast corner would be consistent with the comprehensive plan and would
provide a buffer between the planned residential uses and the commercial uses
on the east side of the Moore’s Creek Drainway. Nabity’s recommendation was
that the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island City
Council change the zoning on the site from R1 Suburban Residential and R4
High Density Residential to R1 Suburban Residential, R4 High Density
Residential and RO Residential Office Zone as requested. Several questions
and comments regarding road access to the property and who would pay for the
roads, from audience members James Dutton, Sharon Manning and Karen Nagel

were asked about the rezoning. Chairman O’Neill asked for any further
questions or comments from Commissioners, or the audience, before closing the

change of zoning of the above mentioned property as presented.

(O’Neill, Ruge, Haskins, Snodgrass, Amick, Reynolds, Niemann, Hayes, Eriksen,
Monter) voting in favor.
6. Public Hearing – Concerning an amendment to the Redevelopment Plan
for CRA Area #2 in Grand Island. Wile E Investments is proposing to build
a Veterinary Clinic on the north side of Stolley Park Road east of Locust
Street. (C-23-2006GI)
Chairman O’Neill opened the Public Hearing. Nabity explained that this
application proposes to redevelop a lot, located in the Blight and Substandard
Area #2 at 210 E. Stolley Park Road in Grand Island , for commercial purposes.
The applicant will own and operate a Veterinary Medical Clinic at this location.
The applicant is requesting to use Tax Increment Financing to offset part of the
costs of development. Nabity went on to explain that the purpose of the CRA
and the designated blight and substandard areas is to provide incentives for
development in underdeveloped areas of the community. This project will
provide commercial development in a location that is intended for these uses.
Development of this property should prevent further decay of this neighborhood.
This area has already been declared blighted and substandard by the CRA, the
Hall County Regional Planning Commission and the Grand Island City Council.
He stated that this project is consistent with the existing zoning and the future
land use plan for the City of Grand Island. This is evidenced by the fact that the
property is zoned B2-AC General Business with an Arterial Commercial Overlay
and the proposed uses are allowed in this district. Nabity also stated that that
the proposed use for a veterinary clinic and animal hospital at this location
would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Nabity recommended that
the Regional Planning Commission recommend that City Council approve the
redevelopment plan amendment as submitted. Chairman O’Neill opened the
meeting for questions from Commissioners and the audience. Dr. Melissa
Girard was available for any questions. Chairman O’Neill closed the Public
Meeting.
A motion was made by Hayes and seconded by Haskins to recommend the
Redevelopment Plan for CRA Area #2 as presented.
A roll call vote was taken and the motion passed with 10 members present
(Amick, O’Neill, Ruge, Haskins, Hayes, Monter, Niemann, Snodgrass, Eriksen,
Reynolds) voting in favor.
7. Public Hearing – Concerning changes to the Grand Island Subdivision
Regulations Chapter 33. (C-24-2006GI)
Nabity explained that the proposed changes to the Grand Island subdivision
regulations adopted in July of 2004 are suggestions from the planning
department and other City staff. These changes are designed to standardize
the plats received by the planning department from the various surveyors and
engineers that work in the Grand Island area. The changes to the main part of
the Chapter 33 are primarily typographic, grammar and numbering changes.
Naming conventions and a requirement that the signed plat be present at the
planning commission meeting have been added to the miscellaneous
requirements. He stated that the major changes involve Addendum B. These
are proposed drawing standards and a sample drawi ng showing what the plat
should look like. The adoption of these changes would standardize plats
received by the Planning Commission for the City of Grand Island. Nabity
recommended that the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the
Grand Island City Council approve the changes to the Grand Island Subdivision
Ordinance as requested. Chairman O’Neill asked for questions or comments
before closing the Public Meeting.
A motion was made by Amick and seconded by Ruge to recommend the
changes to the Grand Island Subdivision Regulations Chapter 33 as presented.
A roll call vote was taken and the motion passed with 10 members present
(Amick, O’Neill, Ruge, Haskins, Hayes, Monter, Niemann, Snodgrass, Eriksen,

Agenda Item # 4
PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION:
September 21, 2006
SUBJECT: Zoning Change (C-1-2007GI)
PROPOSAL: To rezone 1 and 1/2 Lots in Bosselman’s 2nd Subdivision between south of Curran
Ave east of Carleton from RO Residential Office Zones to RD- Residential Development Zone, in
the City of Grand Island. This is an addition to Francis Subdivision Approved in July of 2006.
OVERVIEW:
Site Analysis
Current zoning designation: RO Residential Office
Permitted and conditional uses: RO- High density residential uses (no maximum density) and
commercial office uses that are not primarily retail in nature,
medical offices and facilities.
Comprehensive Plan Designation: Commercial and Medium Density Residential to Office
Existing land uses. Vacant Property
Adjacent Properties Analysis
Current zoning designations: North: RD Residential Development
East: B2 General Business
South: RO Residential Office
West: - RO Residential Office
Permitted and conditional uses: B2-General Business including outdoor display and sales,
Office, Residential at a density of up to 43 units per acre,
Fabrication incidental to permitted uses. RO- High density
residential uses (no maximum density) and commercial office
uses that are not primarily retail in nature, medical offices and
facilities. RD-Residential Development Zone approved for
duplex units on a private street.
Comprehensive Plan Designation: North, East, South: Commercial
West: Medium Density Residential to Office Uses
Existing land uses: North: Property being developed as Francis Sub.,
East: U.S. Highway 281, Commercial,
West: Multifamily Residential
South: Office Uses, Commercial
EVALUATION:
Positive Implications:
· In general conformance with the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan: This particular site
is designated as commercial within the plan but adjacent properties are medium density
residential to office uses. Residential uses are often found in and adjacent to most of the
commercial zones in Grand Island. Higher density residential uses such as this are not
uncommon.
· Uses would be consistent with the level of service intended for Carleton and Curran
Avenues: Both streets meet the minimum standards for a commercial street.
· Finishes the development in this area: Including this 1 and ½ lots in the development will
allow 4 additional buildings or 8 more units on the site. It will complete development of all of
the property between Capital and Curran on the east side of Carleton.
· Monetary Benefit to Applicant: As always this change has the potential to benefit the
applicant monetarily.
Negative Implications:
· None Foreseen
Other
The developer is proposing to build 16 buildings with two dwelling units in each building on this site
(32 units total). At the proposed density, this development would be 6.36 units per acre or 1 unit for
every 6849 square feet. This is significantly less development than could be allowed in an RO or
even the R4 or R3 districts. This development provides for public utilities within the development.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island City Council change
the zoning on this site from RO Residential Office Zone to RD-Residential Development Zone.

Agenda Items # 5
PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION:
September 21, 2006
SUBJECT: Zoning Change (C-2-2006GI)
PROPOSAL: To rezone 6.88 acres in the NW ¼ of 13-10-10 in Grand Island from RD-Residential
Development Zone to R4 High Density Residential. This property is located at the west of 281
and the Moore’s Creek Drainage project on the south side 13th Street south of the Cedar Ridge
Apartments in the City of Grand Island.
OVERVIEW:
Site Analysis
Current zoning designation: RD- Residential Development Zone
Permitted and conditional uses: RD – Residential uses as per the approved development
plan.
Comprehensive Plan Designation: Medium Residential to Office
Existing land uses. Agriculture
Adjacent Properties Analysis
Current zoning designations: North: RO-Residential Office
East: B2- General Business
South and West: - R4 High Density Residential
Permitted and conditional uses: RO- High density residential uses (no maximum density) and
commercial office uses that are not primarily retail in nature,
medical offices and facilities. R4 – High Density Residential
some non profit uses and residential uses at a density of 42
dwelling units per acre. B2- General commercial uses, office
uses, residential uses at maximum density of 42 units per
acre.
Comprehensive Plan Designation: North, and West: Designated for future Medium Density
Residential to Office Development
East: Designated for Public/Semi-Public and Commercial
Development
South: Designated for Medium Density Residential to Office
Development
Existing land uses: North: Agriculture and Child Care
West: Agriculture
South: Agriculture
East: Vacant property and Big Box Commercial
EVALUATION:
Positive Implications:
· Accessible to Existing Municipal Infrastructure: City water and sewer services are available to
service the rezoning area.
· Monetary Benefit to Applicant: Would allow the applicant to sell this property for development
into office uses. Given the size of the property it has limited potential for residential
development.
· Consistent with the comprehensive plan: This change is consistent with the existing
comprehensive plan and future land use map for Grand Island.
· Complementary to the planned development to the south and west: The proposed use with
duplex lots would be similar to the townhouse lots platted to the south.
Negative Implications:
· None foreseen.
Other Considerations:
The approved plan for this property would have developed duplex or single family homes south of
the apartment buildings. This development will result in 1 less apartment building and 12
additional single family or duplex lots. The original plan also called for the extension of a bridge
across the Moore’s creek drainway to the east. This development does not allow for that
possibility. Access is provided from Starwood Avenue to the west side of the property and from
13th Street along Cedar Ridge Court. All of the streets and infrastructure in this proposed
development will be public and built to city standards.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island City Council
change the zoning on this site from RD-Residential Development Zone to R4-High Density
Residential.
