Collinsville City Commission

Results:
4. All Present: Garrett, Shafer, York, Bateman, and Francis

5. Consent agenda approved

7. Ordinance 907 (re-zoning tract west of Memorial on south side of Hwy 20 from AG to RS-3) was approved after a lengthy discussion by commissioners (mostly Garrett) and comments from several Copper Mill residents. The main concern being a worry that the new houses would be smaller and on smaller lots adversely affecting existing nearby property values. The addition of the new city sewer line that now serves that area allows smaller than 1/2 acre lots which was the minimum before the sewer. It was also noted that it was illegal to pre-condition a zoning. It was also noted that the commission (after the planning commission) would have the final say on approving final plats and specific lots. The builder did indicate a willingness to leave mature trees and consider other buffering and transitions for adjacent properties.
Commissioner Garrett made a motion to deny the rezoning but received no second. Commissioners Shafer, Bateman & Francis voted to approve the rezoning.

Results:
2. All Present: Garrett, Shafer, York, Bateman, and Francis

3. Consent agenda approved

5. Approved expanding scope of tree trimming to entire city rather than 1/2 city. ($286K total)

6. Phil Stowell reported on these topics:
* 19th Street Bridge Replacement -- contractor claims they would be done in approximately 2 weeks
*12th Street Bridge will be next. Commissioner Garrett asked that Rural Fire be coordinated with as 12th Street is a main path for them.
* Mayor York asked about grass damage near bridge construction (extra ruts). Should be contractors responsibility to restore.
* Storm water / sewer fees (Commissioner Garrett question) ... not a seperate account but totals tracked. Concern being residents / additions responsible for clearing their own ditches but being charged fees by city for similar service. Mosquito breeding being secondary concern for proper drainage through the city.
