– Tabled 5-0 until Nov. 15
Jim Hazen, who owns the property, spoke at the meeting tonight. He said his farm has been the scene of many construction projects through the years, including the installation of water mains and sewer systems through his land to help ensure the development of the neighboring subdivisions. He noted that the upcoming Rupple Road improvement project will further divide his land with a new roadway and bridge. He urged the council and the neighbors who have benefitted from the division of his land to support his rezoning request so he can move forward with plans for the property.
A resident who spoke said the area doesn’t have the proper infrastructure to handle any future development, especially the intersection at Rupple and Mount Comfort roads.
Mayor Jordan reminded the council that the intersection at Rupple and Mount Comfort will be completely redesigned and realigned next year.
The council agreed to table the issue until the Nov. 15 meeting.

– Tabled 5-0 until Nov. 15
Tim Briseiel of Legacy Ventures spoke tonight and said he is considering an update to the plan that could include secondary for the proposed townhomes. Several residents who spoke two weeks ago were concerned that the new project would have only one access point. Briseiel requested the item be tabled so he can have time to work with city staff to develop the updated proposal.

Martin Luther King Blvd. and 511 Hill Ave. from RMF-40, Residential Multi Family, 40 units per acre to C-1, Neighborhood Commercial.
– Left on the first reading
Blake Jorgensen, who represented the UARK Credit Union at the meeting, said the center of the property is already zoned C-1, so changing the two outer sections to a form-based zoning wouldn’t make sense. He said he understands why Marsh would prefer to see a form-based zoning, but told the council the bank is planning to build a walkable building that won’t change in design regardless of the zoning.
The council decided to hold the request on the first reading and revisit the item in two weeks when more aldermen are present.
5. WG Land Company Appeal (Details): An ordinance to rezone that property described in rezoning petition RZN 16-5590 for approximately 23 acres located northeast of McGuire Street and Van Asche Drive from C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial and C-3, Central Commercial to C-3, Central Commercial.
