HISTORY:
The property is part of a former 766-acre tract which included land
the City purchased in 1982 for parks and municipal buildings. In
the purchase contract the City agreed not to change the subdivision
regulations applicable at the time to the balance of the 766 acres.
A change of zoning on the portion to be platted as Copper Stone
from MF-2 to SF-9 and SF-12 received approval in June of 1992,
with the ordinance taking effect in June of 1993.
A preliminary plat for Copper Stone received approval in June of
1992, and on June 8, 1993, City Council approved a one-year
Item # 7
extension. The final plat received approval in March of 1994, but
was never recorded. Consequently, the final plat became null and
void on September 8, 1994. However, because a final plat was
submitted prior to June 8, 1994, by current regulation the
preliminary plat is still valid. The Planning and Zoning
Commission approved a final plat on September 21, 1995.
TRANSPORTATION:

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The 1987 Comprehensive Plan showed high-density
residential use as the most appropriate for this area. The
current revision of the plan will show the area as more
suitable for lower density residential uses.
DISCUSSION:
This concrete batch plant will be used to mix concrete to pave the streets
in the Copper Stone Addition. The plant is scheduled for erection in
January of 1996 on the northwest comer of the subdivision and will
remain on site for approximately sixty (60) days. As there are no existing
homes on all four sides of the concrete batch plant and the nearest house
is approximately 800' from the plant, staff believes that the surrounding
residential neighborhoods will not be adversely impacted by the presence
of the temporary batch plant.
