the June 5, 2019 meeting.
The motion carried with six members in favor (O’Neill, Nelson, Ruge, Rubio, Randone

3.Request Time to Speak.
The following requested time to speak during discussion: None
4.Public Hearing – Substandard and Blight Study: Concerning a study to determine if
the proposed CRA Area #30 qualifies as substandard and blighted and to forward a
recommendation on the study to the Grand Island City Council. Proposed CRA Area
#30 is approximately 2.57 acres of property in central Grand Island between 4th and 5th
Street and Carey Street and Ruby Avenue. ( C-27-2019GI)
O’Neill opened the public hearing.
Nabity stated the study was commissioned by JOJA Investments Inc. Heath Rinders
and his mother purchased the 3 lots with an existing house on the property. The house
has been vacant for about 10 years. They are looking into building 3 single family
homes on the property. The study was done by Keith Marvin. The study does indicate
the property can be blighted and substandard. This does not approve a TIF project. A
Redevelopment plan will be brought forward if they decide to apply for TIF. Due to
changes to state law, demolish and acquisition are eligible cost even if they occur
before the TIF application. Nabity recommends approval.
O’Neill closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Ruge and second Rainforth by to approve the Substandard and
Blight Study concerning CRA Area #30 and Resolution 2019-11 finding that this
declaration would be consistent with the Grand Island Comprehensive Plan.

Rainforth and Randone) and no members voting no.
5.Public Hearing – Rezoning: Concerning proposed amendments to the Development
Plan for Autumn Park Third Subdivision from RD to Amended RD Zone located north
of State Street and east of Ebony Lane. (C-28-2019GI)
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 8/7/2019 Page 8 / 35
O’Neill opened the public hearing.
Nabity explained the property was originally platted with Autumn Park Subdivision in
1997. A second and third phase to add an additional 288 apartment units was approved
in 2004. The second and third phase was never completed. Nabity went on to explain
they are now proposing a total of 92 units. A combination of 44 duplex building and 4
single family detached units. Plans have been summited for the duplex and single
family detached units. Three of the plans submitted for the single family units will
need to be modified as they are wider east to west than the buildable area on the lot.
The developer will submit new plans.
Most likely this will be phased with the east side being done first. They will, however
make the connection between Ebony Road and the original Autumn Park development
with the first phase so there are entrances from both the east and the west. They will
have additional parking in between some of the units. All of the streets will be private
streets. The developer will be responsible for maintaining the private streets. Mr.
Thomas stated all the units will be single level units that will match all the other
townhomes and duplexes in the neighborhood.
O’Neill closed the public hearing
A motion was made by Ruge and second by Randone to approve the rezoning and the
preliminary and final plat for McCoy Meadows Subdivision with the developer
