Councilperson Ahlers seconded the motion. The vote being: Ayes: Ahlers, Newton, MYers, Lynch, McKnight Noes: None Council erson Newton said that he was 0 osed to the Ordinance as written for the follo~ing reasons: 1 it provides no buffering to existing residential zoning; 2) it allows 10,000 square foot lots in all existing M-L zoning districts; and 3) it will allow propagation of 10,000 square foot lots anq sends the wrong message to developers. Council person Newton moved to amend the Ordinance, but the motion died for lack of a second. Council person Newton identified the issues and the impacts of the proposed ordinance and presented his position by presenting the following solutio~s: 1) To develop M-L buffering that: a) reqL.:ires buffering to adjacent existing M-l; b) does not require (allow) buffering internally to PUD tract against previous M-L boundaries; 2) To require buffer zones for adjacent residentially zoned ~istricts that a) protect values in those districts; and b) avoid abrupt lot si ze changes; 3) To requi re a mi nimum lot si ze average for the enti re tract that a) regulate the distribution of lot sizes; and b) provides flexibility while protecting density requiremE:nts. For the record, Council person Ahlers recommended that Ordinance 0-90..751 be approve~ or disapproved as written and if amendments to the Ordinance are necessary return the Ordinance to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a recommendation of approval or denial.

For the record, Councilperson Ahlers stated that the intent of Ordinance 0-90-751 was to compliment R-20 zoning by the rew.oval of ML zoning as a protective measure, not to provide a mechanism for allowing 10,000 square foot lots. Council person Ahlers moved to approve Ordinance 0-90-751 and to have Planning and Zoning Commission review the Ordinance at their next scheduled meeting in order to consider proposed changes, and therefore, provide a recommendation to the Council.
