Mr. Erickson referred to Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and Order for Judgment in which the Court found that the plaintiffs were entitled to have the Krahl Hill property rezoned in accordance with their application. 'He clarified that, if requested, the City must now grant preliminary approval to the PRD development proposed for Krahl Hill, but that the Council need not act until requested to do so. No act- ion was taken. KRAHL HILL*CONDEMNATION DISCUSSED; Hr. Erickson recalled that the Court had delayed entering its order appointing condemnatioq comm2ssioners and allowing the condemnation to proceed because the Gittleman and Krahl interests had asked for an opportunity to contest'the validity of the taking. briefs and that a copy of their brief should be received by April 6, 1976. Erickson stated that he understands that the argument will be made that .the City should be forced now to commit whether or not to buy the property .because rhe bond issue is less than the claimed value of the property. that the City do nothing further at this time in regard to the zoning matter and proceed with the condemnation of the property and brief the argument relative-'to whether the City sliould bdrequired*now to commit wheqher or not to brty ,the pro- perty. CONF'REKENSIVE PLAN AIINDMFXT HEARING DATE SET- He clarified that that contest will assume the form of writter: Mr. Mr* Erickson recommended If the Court does not require the City now to commit to buy the property, 4/5/76 chen he recommended that the City should proceed with the condemnatior, to daterniine the value of the property. Mx. Erickson added that, now that a decision of the Court has been-received on the zoning issue, the City will be meeting with its appraiser to determine the value of the property. then recalled that the City has been enjoined in connection with the Krahl Hill zoning matter from amending its Comprehensive Plan to incorporate the factors restricting density. He explained that the injunction is now lifted because the Krahl case has been decided and recommended that the City proceed to amend its Comprehensive Plan to incorporate all changes including and especially incorp- orating che density decreasing factors that the Council previously approved. How- ever, he explained that the density decreasing factors cannot be applied to*Krahl Hill. Mr.' Erickson said that, inasmuch as the condemnation has been -authorized and the City has presented evidence to the Court of the authority given by the Council to condemn the Krahl property, that only a decision on the question now being briefed is delaying the order appointing commissioners and proceeding with evidence on the value of the property. Mr. Erickson clarified that if the City commences condemnation, it can drop that condemnation at any time prior to the expiration of the forty day appeal period from the Commissioner's award. response to the allegation of Mr. C. J. Bodine, 6141 Arctic Way, President of the Viking Hills Association, that the defense of the condemnation proceedings was inadequate, Mr. Hyde and Mr. Erickson recalled that residents of the Viking Hills area had been asked'to participate in the court case but had not responded to the City's request. Mr. Bodine said that he believed that there shoclld be City-wide participation in the cost of the acquisition of Krahl Hill, but that if all else fails, area residents might be interested in financial contributions to the pro- blem. (General discussion ensued on the suggestion that the Council should defer . decisions on zoning and other like matters to a meeting subsequent to the hearing rather than making a decision at the time of a hearing, so that the attorney could prepare Pindings of Pact for Council to study before a decision is made.) Robert Hansen, owner of property Wesk action as quickly as possible so that he could proceed with the development of his property. In response to a question of Mr. Bodine, Mr. Erickson said that he would not now recommend appealing the case to the Supreme Court. Mr. Bodine was assured that every effort would be made to keep residents and Mr. Hansen informed on developments in the matter.
