generally located southeast of the Edelweiss Subdivision and west of Bald
Prairie Subdivision.
Applicant: Mr. J. Steve Arden, Applicant & Property Owner
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning
Item Summary: The applicant is requesting this rezoning in order to prepare the
property for future development. The 63.53 acre -tract that is currently zoned A-
O Agricultural Open is being proposed to be rezoned to R -1 Single Family. The
7.84 acre -tract that is currently zoned A -O Agricultural Open is being proposed to
be rezoned to R -2 Duplex.

Single Family residential Medium Density. The proposed R -1 Single Family in
compliance with this plan, and the R -2 Duplex falls within the medium density
range therefore staff supports this rezoning request.

Station City Limits June of 1995 and currently is not platted.

on the question of rezoning, which will be ultimately decided by City Council.
