Chairman O’Neill opened the above mentioned public meeting. Nabity presented.
Nabity explained that Mr. Rick Johnson requested an amendment that would allow
Automobile body repair as a conditional use in the B3 zone . Automobile body
repair is not currently allowed. There is one body shop in that B3 zone, that has
been there for many years and there haven’t been any issues with them. Two
conditions would have to be met, one no storage parts or unlicensed vehicles
outside of the building, and that the business shall meet all building and fire code
requirements. Nabity recommends in favor for this Text Amendment to the Grand
Island Zoning Ordinance.
Heineman had a question concerning whether auto mobile body repair would also
include motorcycle repair as some people were looking for places to wo rk on
motorcycles. Nabity replied that motorcycle body repair would fall under automobile
body repair. No comments from the audience were made.
O’Neill closed the public hearing. A motion was made by Haskins, and seconded
by Snodgrass, to recommend approval as presented.
A roll call vote was taken and the motion passed with 9 members present (Miller,

voting in favor.

lots, with two houses there that were split off years ago by metes and
bounds descriptions . They have dedicated the full right of way, 40 ft.
opposed to a 33 ft. right of way prior. Sewer and water are available for both
of those properties. They are moving the line by about one foot so that one
neighbor can build a garage where he wants to build it. It works with both
homeowners to make this change.
Nabity states that all the other plats meet the minimum requirements and
that he recommends approval.
There were no questions, O’Neill looked for a motion.

(Miller, O’Neill, Hayes, Monter, Reynolds, Haskins, Bredthauer, Heineman,
and Snodgrass) voting in favor.
10. Planning Director’s Report
Nabity stated the Hazard Mitigation Planning is moving forward, he is reviewing a
draft of that at this point; all of the Villages should have a copy to review as well.
When all the documents can be all put together they will be given to the
Commissioners for their review and input. That will be approximately June or July
of this year. As of this point there is about $4000 of the match that was left yet to
meet, there is about $1400.00 for the last quarter, so there should not be a
problem to meet the match. Those plans will be in place, all the communities in
Hall County will be eligible for disaster Mitigation funds and disaster payments.
The voting software that was talked about in the last meeting is going to cost
approximately $5700.00, and currently there is not enough in the budget this
year. Possibly next year, however the County and the City would have to approve
it first, if added to the budget as a line. If meetings were televised then there might
be a push for the software. However at this time there is not a need for this new
voting software. Nabity will attending a National APA meeting at the end of this
month in Las Vegas, he will be presenting. Nabity’s session will be on the
NPA/NPZA, how it all was put together, and how that has been a partnership for
the last 40 some years. Finally there will be new flood maps that will be possibly
adopted in June. With an effective date of September 26,2008. FEMA has
provided these to Nabity.
11. Next meeting is May 7, 2008
12. Adjourn
Chairman O’Neill adjourned the meeting at 6:17 p.m.

ANNEXATION PLAN –Thelen Third Subdivision, Wood River,
Nebraska
April 15, 2008
OVERVIEW
Section 17-405 of The Nebraska State Statute allows Cities of the Second Class to annex
any contiguous or adjacent lands, lots, tracts, streets, or highways that are urban or
suburban in character and in such direction as may be deemed proper.
Regulations governing municipal annexation were implemented in order to develop an
equitable system for adding to and increasing city boundaries as urban growth occurs.
Areas of the community that are urban in nature, and are contiguous to existing
boundaries, are appropriate for consideration of annexation.
Annexation of urban areas adjacent to existing city boundaries can be driven by many
factors. The following are reasons annexation should be considered:
1. Governing urban areas with the statutorily created urban form of
government, municipalities have historically been charged with meeting the
needs of the expanded community.
2. Provide municipal services. Municipalities are created to provide the
governmental services essential for sound urban development and for the
protection of health, safety and well being of residents in areas that are used
primarily for residential, industrial, and commercial purposes.
3. Ensure orderly growth pursuant to land use, building, street, sidewalk,
sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water, and electrical services.
4. Provide more equitable taxation to existing property owners for the urban
services and facilities that non-city residents in proposed annexation areas
use on a regular basis such as parks, streets, public infrastructure, emergency
services, retail businesses and associated support.
5. Ensure ability to impose and consistently enforce planning processes and
policies.
6. Address housing standards and code compliance to positively impact quality
of life for residents.
7. Enable residents of urban areas adjacent to city to participate in municipal
issues, including elections that either do or will have an impact on their
properties.
8. Anticipate and allocate resources for infrastructure improvements. This
would include extension of sewer, water and electrical infrastructure.
9. Provide long term visioning abilities as it relates to growth and provision of
services.
Other Factors
The owner of this property has requested that the City annex this property in conjunction
with the approval a final plat of this tract.
A comprehensive inventory of services and facilities has been developed, with the types
and level of services currently being provided as well as the types of level of services
anticipated as a result of annexation.
The inventory includes general information concerning:
· Existing infrastructure in affected area(s)
· Summary of expenditures to extend existing infrastructure
· Emergency services
· Summary of operating expenditures associated with increased services
The service plan incorporates detailed elements of the inventory. The inventory and
resulting service plan should be the basis for discussions concerning each specific area
identified for potential annexation. It should be noted that the capital improvements to
existing infrastructure and extending services if necessary will take place over a
reasonable period of time in order to ensure adequate time for planning, designing,
funding and constructing such a sizable number of projects while protecting the
financial integrity of the City’s enterprise funds. Individual property owners will be
responsible for the cost of extending services through neighborhoods and for
connecting their properties to the public systems.

Agenda Item 5
PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING
COMMISSION:
April 16, 2008
SUBJECT: Rezoning Request C-14-2008GI
PROPOSAL: To change the zoning for lots 1 to 11 of Block 1 of Northview Second
Subdivision from R1 Suburban Density Residential Zone, and R2 Low Density Residential
Zone to R3 Medium Density Residential Zone. The subject property is located west of
North Road on Anne Marie Avenue. The stated purpose of this request is to build
townhouse or condominium units on the property. This will reduce the required property
per unit from 6000 square feet to 3000 square feet.
OVERVIEW:
Site Analysis
Current zoning designation: R1-Suburban Density Residential
R2 Low Density Residential Zone
Permitted and conditional uses: R1 residential uses at a density of 4 units per acre;
Churches, Parks and Schools
R2 residential uses at a density of 7 units per acre;
Churches, Parks and Schools.
Comprehensive Plan Designation: Low to Medium Density Residential
Existing land uses: vacant residential lots
Site constraints: Access from North Road is limited.
Adjacent Properties Analysis
Current zoning designations: North and East: B2 General Business
South: R2 Medium Density Residential
West: R1 Suburban Density Residential
Permitted and conditional uses: R2 residential uses at a density of 7 units per acre;
Churches, Parks and Schools.
R1: residential uses at a density of 4 units per acre;
Churches, Parks and Schools.
B2: General service, retail and wholesale commercial
uses including outdoor sales, Billboards
Comprehensive Plan Designation: North and East: Commercial/
South and West: Low to Medium Density
Residential
Existing land uses: North and East: vacant ground, farm ground
South: Houses, Northwest High School
West: vacant residential lots
EVALUATION:
The proposed rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The comprehensive
plan would allow up to medium density residential (R3) at this location. The proposed
housing would provide a buffer between potential commercial uses and the lower density
residential planned to the south and west. As markets changes during the course of a
development it is sometimes advantageous to change the original plan for a subdivision.
This change is not significant but would allow the developers to capture a market they feel
exists within the City.
Positive Implications:
· Consistent with intent of the City’s Comprehensive Plan: The City’s 2004
Comprehensive Plan has designated this site for Commercial uses. Rezoning this
property to R3-Medium Density Residential is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
· Compatible with adjacent land uses: The R3 zone is an appropriate buffer for the
planned and existing uses on surrounding properties.
Negative Implications:
· No negative implications foreseen.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommends that the Grand Island City Council
approve this request to amend the rezoning from R1-Suburband Density Residential and
R2 Low Density Residential to R3 Medium Density Residential as presented.
