• Dr. William G. Kummer, -1510 Bristol Drive, spoke for a group
of neighbors -in the Bristol Drive area and indicated their
earlier opposition was to -the -original proposal to rezone
83.3 acres of undeveloped;_land,from R1A to R1B. However,
since the proposal was amended to involve 1.48 acres along
Prairie=du?Chien Road,' their main point of -concern was
whether approval of this request might be a "stepping stone"
to future development and rezoning to; an R1B listing. Dr.
Kummer questioned how 'the area surrounding the subject 1.48
acre parcel 'is zoned 'and what the Johnson; County Regional
Planning Commission's recommendations were for the future
land use of this area-
Chairman Madsen stated that the 'zoning surrounding the subject
parcel is a; mixture of zoning because of the way it was
developed. Some -of the development could be `called an
"historicalaccident"`:---he-,said, becauseof insufficient
_
control at the .time it was inthe county. He pointed out
-- that the question of zoning involves..the.;permitted density
and not the use or the wayin which the land might dater be
subdivided.
Stating that he 'would not -consider the proposed request to
indicate a commitment to -any future rezoning, Chairman Madsen
said the question before the Commission was whether or not the
_proposed tract of land could be reasonably rezoned to R1B. He
added<that;he was .concerned about -access along; the north end
of the city,(in`the vicinity ofHighway 1'. and Dubuque Road on
the east .and Prairie ,du' -Chien- ,Road on the west) . Ms. Cain
=concurred ,with .Chairman Madsenl.s opinion that the proposed
rezoning request.mould not be considered a stepping stone to
the rezoning of the larger tract.
Dr. Ogesen pointed out that the drawing contained in the "Pre-
liminary Land -Use hlan" developed by the Johnson County Regional
Planning Commission should only be considered a general plan
and should not be ;thought -.of as a zoning map.
A motion was made byDr. Ogesen, seconded by ,Mr-.-Galiher, to
recommend to the City Council -approval of Z=7402, request for
rezoning a tract of land,`RlA to R1B, filed by Dean Oakes.
