PZ-22-1201 Public Hearing Minor Plat of the Gale Village ReSubdivision No 2
PZ-22-1202 Public Hearing Zoning Amendment, R2 Two-Family to I Insitutional,
property west of Gale Village Dr
Since both items on the agenda are related, it was decided to discuss them both.
Brent Zhorne, 2798 Montague Dr stated he believes the green public sign was not posted 10 days prior
to the meeting as required by ordinance Section 152.017 (C) (2). He acknowledged the public notice in
the newspaper and also the letters the city sent to adjacent property owners. He does not want to see
Weber Rd extended out to the proposed subdivision as he feels it will create too much traffic and be a
concern for the nearby school.
Ruth Dietrich, 2883 Montague Dr stated she has video from December 12th or 13th that would indicate a
public hearing sign was not placed on the property. Ms Dietrich mentioned the zoning of the property
has changed three times in the last ten years and does not want it to change again. She was concerned

because this proposed church sold items at its previous location and does not want to see this lot become
a commercial use. Ms Dietrich also stated she spoke to two elected officials about the property.
The city attorney reviewed ordinance Section 152.017 (C) (2) with the commission and recommended
that if there is a question about the timeline of the public sign placement, it may be best to vote to
continue the public hearing to a specific date, as specified in 152.017 (D). Staff suggested it be postponed
to January 10, 2023.
Member Lee moved, seconded by Member McKelvie to continue the public hearing for these items to
January 10, 2023.
