Riehle stated there were two changes for the 2009 Projects the Bike Trail along the Wood River floodway that is already completed, this was completed last year. In 2010, the Library board has asked for a traffic signal at the intersection of Lincoln Ave and 2nd St. Riehle briefed members on: 2009 Projects, which include the Capital Avenue widening project; the US Highway 30 widening; the Wasmer Detention Cell; the Walk to Walnut Safe Routes To School project; South Locust 4-Lanes, Stolley Park Road Widening, NWHS Left Turn Lane; US Hwy 34/281 Concrete Repair & Resurfacing, the extension of the Moore’s Creek Ditch; the Quiet Zones on UPRR Corridor; the 2009 Annual Paving Petition Program; the Annual Asphalt Resurfacing Program; the Concrete Lining of Ditches; Moore’s, Prairie and Silver Creek Flood Control; 2010 Projects include North Road & Capital Ave Round-A-Bout, 13th & North Road, Realign Barr MS Entrance (2011), Library Traffic Signal Request, Annual Paving Program, Traffic Signal at US Hwy 281 and Rae Rd, Traffic Signal at US Hwy 281 and Wildwood Drive, Platte Valley Industrial Park Drainage, Independence Ave north of Manchester – Ditch Design, Annual Asphalt Resurfacing Program, GIS System Continued Development and Maintenance and Concrete Lining of Ditches. More 2010 Projects include, storm cell improvements, Trail Bridge over two Platte River Channels, and Trail Construction State Street to Veterans Home. Sam Troush spoke in favor of the pedestrian bridges over the highways this would provide better safety for those using the trails, as they cross the highways. Heineman asked for more hike and bike trails that could be integrated into the city versus having recreational routes. Steve Fosselman commented the importance for the traffic signal near the library would allow classes coming from Wasmer using the library to cross safely. This has been a request for many years, 19,000 cars travel on 2nd St a day and this would allow children and people to cross to and from the library without having to dodge through all the traffic. Chairman O’Neill closed the public hearing.

Changes are proposed to the Definitions section of the code to provide necessary definition for wind energy systems and Recreational Vehicle Pads. Changes will be considered to section 36-103 Wind Energy Systems and changes will be to the B2 General Business Zone, AC arterial Commercial Overlay Zone, and the M2 Heavy Manufacturing Zone regarding Recreational Vehicle spaces accessory to hotel/motel uses. (C- 09-2009GI) Chairman O’Neill opened the above mentioned Public Meeting. Nabity explained the Zoning Text Changes, this proposed changes to the Definitions of Recreational Vehicle Pads, Recreational Vehicle Pad: a space for parking a recreational vehicle within a campground or other allowed place consisting of no less than 800 square feet with a minimum width of 12 feet. Improvements included within the pad space include 1 hard surfaced improved parking space of not less than 180 square feet (20 x 9 or 18 x 10) and 2 hard surfaced improved parallel tire pads of not less than 2.5 feet by 24 feet. Additional changes were: (2) Recreational Vehicle Pads accessory to Hotel/Motel Uses with the following restrictions: a) Number of pads shall not exceed 10% of the number of sleeping rooms available at the hotel/motel to a maximum of 15 pads b) The hotel/motel shall continue to provide all required parking spaces, c) Water service shall not be provided at the pad d) Sewer service shall not be provided at the pad. A publicly accessible dump station must be available at the hotel/motel or within ½ mile of the hotel/motel. e) Pads shall not be located in any required setback f) All RV pads shall be provided with a landscape buffer yard or street yard as identified in the landscaping section of this code. g) Pads shall not be accessible from any public way. There was further discussion regarding the sewer services be allowed at the hotel/motel site. O’Neill felt this should not be allowed due to the odors being emitted as the waste is being transferred from the storage tank on the RV’s to the city sewer. Heineman also raised the question that by not requiring a dump site would create a health or sanitation issue and that local taxpayers would end up paying for. The city does have a dump station at the wastewater treatment plant and at Hall County Park. Mormon Island also has a dump station however a Nebraska park permit is required to enter the park. Nabity also explained the Wind Energy Conversion Systems noting a rewrite on the wind energy system regulations. Such systems are proposed to be regulated on tower height, not rotor blade width as was done in the past. Lots of half-acre or larger could install small scale systems. Larger scale commercial systems would be restricted to agricultural areas, except those in proximity to the Central Nebraska Regional Airport. Chairman O’Neill closed the public meeting.

Item F4 Public Hearing of Annexation Request (C-11-2009GI) Insert a narrative here Wednesday, March 04, 2009 Regular Meeting Hall County Regional Planning Commission Staff Contact: Hall County Regional Planning Commission Agenda Item #5 PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION: February 19, 2009 SUBJECT: Annexation of Properties (C-11-2009GI) PROPOSAL: To annex property as shown on the attached annexation plan. OVERVIEW: This property is contiguous with (surrounded by) the Grand Island City Limits. The owners have requested annexation. These properties are within the Grand Island Utilities Electrical Service District. These properties are all within the Cedar Hollow/Northwest School District. These annexations will not impact the two-mile extraterritorial jurisdiction of Grand Island. RECOMMENDATION: That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island City Council annex these properties as presented. ___________________ Chad Nabity AICP, Planning Director ANNEXATION PLAN –February 2009 February 13, 2009 OVERVIEW Section 16-117 of The Nebraska State Statute allows municipalities of the first 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. 9. Increase number of street or lane miles while increasing gas tax dollars received from the Nebraska Department of Roads. 10. Provide long term visioning abilities as it relates to growth and provision of services. Other Factors Annexation of adjacent properties can also be considered upon the request of the owner(s) of the property. Case New Holland has requested that the City annex its property in the SE ¼ of the NE ¼ of 25-11-10. They have also requested that this property be rezoned from TA Transitional Agriculture to M1 Light Manufacturing. A comprehensive inventory of services and facilities, relative to the types and level of services currently being provided as well as the types of level of services anticipated as a result of annexation, has been developed. The inventory includes general information concerning: · Existing infrastructure in affected area(s) · Summary of expenditures to extend existing infrastructure · Summary of operating expenditures associated with increased services · Emergency 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 will take place over a 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. The service plan provides for extending the trunk water and sanitary sewer lines to the annexed area. Individual property owners will be responsible for the cost of extending services through neighborhoods and for connecting their properties to the public systems. Case New Holland Property The Case New Holland property is the located in the southwest part of the community. It is west of US. Highway 281 and south of Case New Holland building.

Existing land uses: North and West: U.S. Highway 30 and Union Pacific Rail Road, Used Car Lot, Vacant Property South: Farm Ground East: Farm Ground, Triangle East Industrial Park EVALUATION: Positive Implications: · Consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan: The subject property is designated mixed use manufacturing uses (typically B2 to M2 zoning). · Would provide space to move a manufacturing use from the center of town to a more appropriate location: This would allow the Aurora Coop to move their chemical storage from their current location to one on the outskirts of town. · Good access to transportation systems: This site has good access to U.S. Highway 30 and county roads used to reach nearby farming operations. Negative Implications: · Changes the Neighborhood: For many years, while this property was used as a garden center it provided an attractive entrance into the community. The change to allow a heavier use may result in a less pleasant entry. A less pleasant entry may also result if the property is left vacant though or if it is used as just a retail establishment by the Coop. · Increased Traffic: Manufacturing development at this location will result in increased traffic volumes on Wildwood, Schimmer, U.S. 281 and South Locust. · Other Considerations The this property is already intended for possible manufacturing uses as shown below on the Future Land Use Map for the City of Grand Island. Future Land Use Map of the Area as approved in the Grand Island Comprehensive Plan RECOMMENDATION: That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island City Council change the zoning on this site from B2-General Business to M2-Heavy Manufacturing as requested and shown on the attached map. ___________________ Chad Nabity AICP, Planning Director February 16, 2009 Dear Members of the Board: RE: Rezoning B2 Zone to M2 Zone, For reasons of Section 19-923 Revised Statues of Nebraska, as amended, there is herewith submitted a rezone request of 4155 East U.S. Highway 30, (located South of Hwy 30), from B2 General Business to M2 Heavy Manufacturing.
