Mr Fales introduced the subject and advised that Planning Director Schroeter and members of his staff were present to answer questions Reference was made by Council to the excerpt from the Planning Commission minutes of June 24, 1975, concerning the discussion regarding the proposed zoning boundaries projecting over the interior waterways, and the question of whether this would cause any foreseeable problems. Mr Schroeter referred to a slide drawing of the area, and indicated that in their deliberations, the Commissioners con- sidered whether the zoning should project over the waterways, and ultimately decided to duplicate what was on the opposite side The drawing now being shown was a modification of what had been originally considered by the Planning Commission During further discussion, it was noted that the extent of the proposed commercial zoning would appear to be as much as 125 feet over the water, and this occurred simply in order to match the zoning on the north side of the waterway, originally done in 1969 Concern was expressed by the Council regarding the necessity to protect the integrity of the waterways, which might be dif- ficult if the zoning is permitted to extend beyond a definite limit Mr Schricker advised that the City would have control over development over the waterways, since they are subject to easement in differing degrees, for example, for levee main- tenance, and farther out, for recreation or where it is pri- vately owned Discussion continued with regard to defining the limits of the proposed zoning adjacent to the waterways, such as toe of slope, or high water line, etc. Robert Saint, 872 Chesterton, spoke in opposition to the re- zoning, stating that the public interest would be better served if the Tidal Plain designation were retained. -7- Reg Mtg 12/15/75
