BACKGROUND
RZN 02-9.00 was submitted by Julian & Jane Archer for property located at 2231 Markham
Road. The property is zoned R-1 , Low Density Residential and contains approximately 18.80
acres. RZN 02- 12.00 was submitted by Julian & Jane Archer for property located at 2231
Markham Road. Both properties are zoned R-1 , Low Density Residential and contain
approximately 4. 10 acres. The request is to rezone both to A-1 , Agricultural.
The subject property was an area which housed horses and other barnyard animals for many
generations until the late 1990's. At that time, the owners decided not to maintain horses on the
property until a new barn could be constructed to replace one that was in poor repair. Because
the property, as well as the acreage surrounding it, was zoned R-1 in 1970, once the animals were
removed and six months passed, the non-conforming condition of permitting the animals i i a
residential zoning district was no longer a grandfathered right for the property owners.
Recently, a building permit was requested for a new barn for this applicant. The intent is to
replace the old barn and to reestablish the use of the property for boarding and running horses
owned by the property owners. Because of the current zoning of the property, staff made the
applicants aware that the uses that they were proposing were not permitted and that a rezoning
would be necessary. They have further offered a Bill of Assurance in order to guarantee that the
property is not used for purposes in the future which may be undesirable, such as chicken houses,
feed or hog lots, trailer park, cemetery, crematorium, mausoleum, hospital and convalescent
home.
CURRENTSTATUS
The Planning Commission voted 8-0-0 to recommend approval of the rezoning to the City
Council subject to the Bill of Assurance offered by the applicant.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of the requested rezonings.

RZN 02-9.00: Rezoning (Archer, pp 481) was submitted by Julian & Jane Archer for
property located at 2231 Markham Road. The property is zoned R-1 , Low Density
Residential and contains approximately 18.80 acres. The request is to rezone to A-1,
Agricultural.
Hoffman: Our next items are two companion items which are RZN 02-9.00 and RZN
02- 12.00, which are rezonings for Archer, which was submitted by Julian
and Jane Archer for property located a 2231 Markham Road. The
property is zoned R- 1 , Low Density Residential and contains
approximately 4. 1 acres. The request is to rezone to A-1 , Agricultural.
The second companion item, I will go ahead and just go through this, is a
rezoning submitted by the Archers for property located at 2231 Markham
Road. The property is zoned R-1 , Low Density Residential and contains
approximately 18.80 acres. The request is to rezone to A-1 , Agricultural.
Tim, would you like to enlighten us on this before we start?
Conklin: Madam Chair and members of the Commission, this is a result of the
applicants, Julian and Jane Archer, bringing forward a building permit to
establish and build a new bam on their property. During the discussions,
and we also did a site visit, we discovered that there were no longer horses
on this property. This property is very historic, it is a large property up on
top of what we call Markham Hill. During our site visit we did note that
there is an existing barn, there is an existing coral on the property so there
is evidence of horses on this property over many years. However, it has
been approximately 3-5 years since horses were on this property and
therefore, we are not allowed to allow the reestablishment of horses
without down zoning the property from R-1 , Low Density Residential,
which is four units per acre to A-1 , Agricultural, which is two units per
acre single-family homes. That is why it is before you. It is fairly unique,
we don't see this happen too often. Our current zoning ordinance does not
have a provision for horses within residential zoning districts. That is
something we may want to consider in the future but at this time the only
way to reestablish horses back on this property would be rezoning this to
A-1 . They have offered a Bill of Assurance, it is in your packet. That Bill
of Assurance talks about not allowing commercial chicken houses, feed or
hog production, trailer parks, cemetery, crematorium, mausoleum,
hospital, and convalescent homes. They are removing some of the more
objectionable uses from the A-1 zoning district as part of the Bill of
Assurance which has been offered by the applicant. That is all I have.
Hoffman: Can you tell us what other uses might be included that might be
permissible under this zoning that they did not exclude in their Bill of
Assurance? I am thinking of animal related enterprises and I don't know
if we have it in our packet under the use units. While you are looking that
up I will go ahead and call on the applicant's representative. If you could
Planning Commission •
April 22, 2002
Page 48
give us your name and go ahead and give us your presentation.
Winston: I don't have a presentation. My name is Winston and Winston and I live
on the top of Markham Hill. Dr. Archer asked me to come and represent
him. I have talked to him about the issue and I am really here to just
answer any questions if I can if you have any.
Hoffman: Ok, thank you very much. Is there any member of the public that would
wish to address us on this item? I don't see anybody so I will bring it back
to the Commission and to the applicant for fiuther discussion.
Hoover: I have got a question for staff, maybe just because I've never looked
clearly at a Bill of Assurance. Shouldn't we be filling out item one and
two with what the property shall be limited to? It seems to me it opens us
up to a lot of things.
Conklin: Number three states specific activities will not be allowed on the
Petitioner's property including. . .that is how it reads. This is a form that
we give to the applicants to get into a form that is enforceable by the City
of Fayetteville. That is how they filled it out.
Hoover: We don't fill out item number one?
Conklin: We can't ask for a Bill of Assurance. We give them a standard form and
they fill it out, which states the activities will not include commercial
chicken houses and the other items that were listed.
Hoover: So usually when we get a Bill of Assurance it doesn't have all the items
categorized.
Warrick: In many situations an applicant will offer to limit the uses to a certain
thing and in other situations they will offer to allow a certain thing on the
property. It is basically up to the applicant as to how they choose to make
an offering to the City with regard to restrictions. In this case they have
chosen to restrict certain uses as opposed to limit to a certain thing.
Hoover: Does that open us up to other uses that we are not thinking about?
Conklin: I will read you what is in unit six. Agriculture, agricultural uses and
services, Farm: Crop-Egg-Truck, Services: Hay baling, smoking, curing
and selling of smoked or cured poultry and livestock, Sorting- packing and
selling fiuits, vegetables and flowers, Threshing. We removed cemetery,
crematorium , mausoleum, Institutional Use: hospital, convalescent home.
Unit Seven, animal husbandry, animal farms for show, breeding and
training. Farms with livestock, livestock services, animal hospitals,
Planning Commissie

shipping of livestock, training of horses, veterinarian's treatment area,
recreational use, guest ranch, riding stable, rifle range, rodeo ground.
Hoffman: I can't imagine that we would be having a rifle range up on top of the hill.
I think that probably violates some other city ordinances.
Hoover: What about a fairground?
Conklin: Rodeo ground. The applicant's representative is here. He has been told
what the Archers will be using their property for. Basically the
Commission had some concerns with regard to some of the additional
uses. If you are authorized you can limit those uses further.
Winston: I am not authorized to limit it any further. Some of those things that you
just mentioned were new to me.
Ward: Tim, why couldn't we just do a conditional use for horses?
Conklin: We don't have that allowed in our code at this time. This comes up, it is
interesting the number of farm animals the Planning Division has had to
deal with over the years. We removed a llama, a goat, some turkeys,
chickens. We haven't had too much experience with Vietnamese potbelly
pigs, a bee hive, we had a horse up on South Country Club Hill, an
addition with a regular back yard, wood fence, looking over the top of the
fence. It is an issue. Certain areas are more appropriate than others. I
guess my initial comments were that maybe this is something that we do
need to look at with regard to residential zoning districts. We do have a
large potential subdivision coming to the Commission off of Hwy. 265
adjacent to Hyland Park. There is existing horses in that area, it is zoned
R-1 and their plans are to leave that boarding stable within that R-1 as an
existing legal non-conforming use. However, it does pose issues with
regard to horses in R-1 neighborhoods.
Estes: Mr. Conklin, would you consider removing a little female black lab named
Katie that digs a lot? Would you do that for me?
Conklin: If I go out there and I can tell it is a kennel I can get it removed, if not, no.
Ward: In their application letter they basically got to the point that they are
building a 15 horse stall barn, which tells about pattern and color and that
kind of stuff and also that they will have no more than 20 horses on this
property. They kind of offered a lot of assurances in their application
letter.

Conklin: They did not fill out that form in that manner. I would be more than
happy to talk with Julian and Jane Archer regarding the concerns. I know
they are in a hurry and I am not asking you to forward this if you would
like me to talk to them further about that.
Motion:
Estes: The two rezoning requests before us, if we take dispositive action it will
be forwarded to the City Council, our action is advisory only. This is just
to restore the use as it previously existed. For those reasons I would move
for approval of RZN 02-9.00 and 02-12.00.
Mme: I will second.
Hoffman: I have a motion by Commissioner Estes and a second by Commissioner
Marr and I will add that in agreement I went up to the property today and I
can remember back when it was a horse facility and it seems that that is a
great use for it to get replaced. With that being said, if the staff could
possibly work with the applicants on these other concerns as it goes
forward through the process, before it gets to City Council.
Conklin: Sure, we will do that. I would like for the record to be clear which item
you are voting on.
Hoffman: We are going to vote on them separately. We have a motion on both but I
will go ahead and vote separately on each. Can I ask the motion and the
second if that is ok to split your motions or did you intend to have them go
forward together?
Estes: The movement will separate the motions into two different items, RZN
02-9.00 move for approval and then RZN 02-12.00 move for approval.
Hoffman: Thank you. Commissioner Marr?
Marr: I will second that.
Hoffman: Renee, would you call the roll?
Hoover: I have a question for our City Attorney because I want to understand. The
letter that we have submitted with the Bill of Assurance, does that have
any legal binding?
Whitaker: It would not because it is below the signature, it is not part of the Bill of
Assurance. The signature boxes here are known as subscriptions on the
Bill of Assurance. Anything coming after that would not be considered as
Planning Commissi4b • ,
April 22, 2002
Page 51 y
part of it. Those letters I think were just for your information and to
explain to you what the purpose of the request was. They would not be
part of the Bill of Assurance.
Hoover: I am going to have to vote against this. I am not against what they are
proposing to do but I don't feel comfortable without this in the Bill of
Assurance.
Hoffman: See, that is yet to be determined until it gets to the City Council. There is
still time to nail it down. That is my opinion.
Conklin: I will call Julian and Jane Archer and ask if they will reverse how they are
doing the Bill of Assurance to what is allowed on the property to more
reflect what is in the letter. Talking with them they were a little shocked
when I went up there and could not find any horses running around that
after all 800 years of having animals up there, they had to go through this
process. I am fairly confident that in talking with them I can get them to
draft it in a manner that is consistent with the letter that they provided
Hoover: And that can be done before the Council meeting?
Conklin: Yes, I will call them tomorrow.
Shackelford: Just a follow up question for Mr. Whitaker. I had a conversation about
this form with Mr. Williams in the past and it has been mentioned in this
meeting that we can not require Bills of Assurances, they have to be
offered. Can we go back at this point in your opinion and tell them what
we want to see on the Bill of Assurance? Are we not opening ourselves
up?
Whitaker: I think this may be hair splitting but sometimes it is as subtle as the
essence of the whole thing. You can't say "Unless you agree to do this we
won't approve your rezoning." However, there is nothing wrong now that
they have offered these to saying "Well, how about this?" That is the give
and take in the preliminary. The conditioning of the acceptance of the
rezoning upon demands, which they would be if you termed it that way is
a different story than an even handed arms length negotiation between the
parties about what would work for both. If what I am understanding Mr_
Conklin is proposing is really just clarifying what is already here. Rather
than using the exclusive language or channel, number three, it would go
to, excuse me, that is inclusive in a list. Number one would be exclusive
and state the following is all that will be there. I think that is a fine
enough distinction where you are really just trying to get detail, you're not
trying to exact new demands on the applicant.
Planning Commission ` •
April 22, 2002

Conklin: Just one other aspect to this Bill of Assurance. When they met with City
staff we did not tell them they had to do a Bill of Assurance. They asked
us how, this rezoning how they could help alleviate some of the
neighbor's concerns. We mentioned to them that other applicants have
used a Bill of Assurance to avoid having concerns over some of the uses
allowed in zoning districts and so that is exactly what I would be trying to
do is to express to them some of your concerns and say "Is there any
way?" I know what they want to do. They have plans and they have it all
drawn up. They would like to have some horses up on that piece of
property. Thank you.
Hoffman: Renee, would you call the roll please?
Roll Call: Upon the completion of roll call the motion to forward RZN 02-9.00 was
approved by a vote of 8-0-0.
Hoffman: Thank you. The motion carries unanimously and it will be forwarded to
the City Council at their next meeting.

Recently, a building permit was requested for a new barn for this applicant. The intent is to

owned by the property owners. Because of the current zoning of the property, staff made the
applicant's aware that the uses that they were proposing were not permitted and that a rezoning
would be necessary.
The applicant's have requested this rezoning in order to be able to use the pastures and barns on
the property for their horses. They have further offered a Bill of Assurance in order to guarantee
that the property is not used for purposes in the future which may be undesirable, such as chicken
houses, feed or hog lots, trailer park, cemetery, crematorium, mausoleum, hospital and
convalescent home.
This proposal is to downzone and to further restrict the property owner's development rights for
the subject properties. Approval of these actions will result in the development of fewer single
family homes or other types of dwellings in this area. It is necessary for this property to be zoned.
for agricultural uses in order for the applicant to keep horses in this location.
Prior to the issuance of a building permit for the barn proposed by the applicant, an accurate,
scaled site plan will be required in order to ensure compliance with supplemental conditions
which are prescribed for uses described in § 163.06 and stated below:
§163.06 ANIMALS AND FOWL. The following uses, where permitted, shall be conducted no

FINDINGS OF THE STAFF
A determination of the degree to which the proposed zoning is consistent with land use
planning objectives, principles, and policies and with land use and zoning plans.
Finding: The proposed zoning is consistent with land use planning objectives,
principles, and policies and with land use and zoning plans. Prior to 1970,
this property was zoned agriculturally and was used to house and run horses
for the owners. The use of the property will remain primarily residential, as
there are several single family dwellings on the site, but this change will allow
the owners to reestablish their horse barn and to board their horses.
A determination of whether the proposed zoning is justified and/or needed at the time the
rezoning is proposed.
Finding: In order to allow for the agricultural use of this area for boarding and riding
horses, this proposed zoning is needed.
3. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would create or appreciably increase
traffic danger and congestion.
Finding: The proposed zoning will not create or appreciably increase traffic danger or
congestion. This downzoning will actually decrease the potential for
additional traffic to the area by restricting the property owner's ability to
further develop the number of residential lots on the property that would be
possible under the current R-1 zoning.
4. A determination as to whether the proposed zoning would alter the population density
and thereby undesirably increase the load on public services including schools, water, and
sewer facilities.
Finding: The proposed zoning will not alter the population density.
5. If there are reasons why the proposed zoning should not be approved in view of
considerations under b (1) through (4) above, a determination as to whether the proposed
zoning is justified and/or necessitated by peculiar circumstances such as:
a. It would be impractical to use the land for any of the uses permitted
under its existing zoning classifications;
b. There are extenuating circumstances which justify the rezoning
even though there are reasons under b (1) through (4) above why
the proposed zoning is not desirable.

March 25, 2002
We, Julian and Jane Archer, submit that we are the sole
owners of the property in question and that it is not for sale now or
in the foreseeable future. It has been in the Pratt -Markham -
Waterman -Archer family for 102 years and home to a succession of
horses and other farm animals continuously during that time until
very recently. It has only now (on March 19, 2002) come to our
attention that our grandfathered right to keep farm animals on this
property lapsed when we ceased having horses there because the
barn was in such poor condition and we were unaware of the
ordinance that states that after a six month lapse we would lose our
right to keep animals. Three or four years ago we decided not to
replace the horses until we could build a new barn. Toward that
end, we have been purchasing structural timbers from Colorado and
oak siding from around here and drawing up plans for a new barn.
The design is a classical gambrel roof, oak board and batten, red
and white, 15 horse stall barn to replace the old 12 stall barn. We
would not have more than 20 horses and more -than -likely nowhere
near that number.
We understand that the only way we can replace the horses
and build a new barn is to have the property rezoned A-1 (from R-
1). Since we own all of the property surrounding the larger (a large
pasture consisting of a parcel and a portion of another parcel) of
the two properties at issue here, no neighbors will be impacted in
any way by rezoning of the parcels, not even visually
On the same family property is a second (with two stalls) barn
in good condition. This parcel as well as an adjacent one acre parcel
need to be rezoned A-1 in order for horses to be there. The only
effect on neighbors of rezoning these two smaller parcels adjacent
to Sang Street will be the eventual pleasure of looking at horses
instead of an empty barn and pasture.
It should be evident to everyone in the neighborhood by now
that -horses or no horses —we have no intention of developing this
hilltop property or selling it to developers, though our petitioning to
have it rezoned to a more restrictive category could come only as
positive news nonetheless. There will, of course, be no increase in
traffic as a result, no change in appearance, and no signage.
The preservation of green spaces and areas with rural
character within urban boundaries not only enhances the beauty,
diversity, and texture of a city, but it touches the human spirit
profoundly. And for city dwellers, children especially, to be able to
see animals in a beautiful, unspoiled setting on a regular basis is
psychologically healthy and moves humanity closer to a kinder,
gentler society.
There is a one -inch water line near the new barn site and both
of the pasture areas are served by year-round springs. This hilltop
area is served by septic systems rather than city sewer.
Tian and Jane Archer
March 25, 2002
To the members of the Fayetteville Planning Commission:
We wanted very much to be present at the Planning
Commission meeting to which our rezoning request is being
submitted, especially since the barn project and having horses is
very important to us, but it would entail canceling my, Julian's,
classes at Drake University where I teach, and a fast turnaround trip
from Des Moines to Fayetteville for a few minutes of appearance
before the Commission.
We trust that our proposal will speak for itself and have,
further, appointed as our representative Mr. Winston Winston who,
as overseer of our property in Fayetteville, is knowledgeable and can
answer most of the questions and concerns you may have.
Sin rely,
i Archer

BACKGROUND
RZN 02-9.00 was submitted by Julian & Jane Archer for property located at 2231 Markham
Road. The property is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential and contains approximately 18.8O
acres. RZN 02-12.00 was submitted by Julian & Jane Archer for property located at 2231
Markham Road. Both properties are zoned R-1, Low Density Residential and contain
approximately 4.10 acres. The request is to rezone both to A-1, Agricultural.
The subject property was an area which housed horses and other barnyard animals for many
generations until the late 1990's. At that time, the owners decided not to maintain horses on the
property until a new barn could be constructed to replace one that was in poor repair. Because
the property, as well as the acreage surrounding it, was zoned R-1 in 1970, once the animals were
removed and six months passed, the non -conforming condition of permitting the animals is a
residential zoning district was no longer a grandfathered right for the property owners.
Recently, a building permit was requested for a new barn for this applicant. The intent is to
replace the old barn and to reestablish the use of the property for boarding and running horses
owned by the property owners. Because of the current zoning of the property, staff made the
applicants aware that the uses that they were proposing were not permitted and that a rezoning
would be necessary. They have further offered a Bill of Assurance in order to guarantee that the
property is not used for purposes in the future which may be undesirable, such as chicken houses,
feed or hog lots, trailer park, cemetery, crematorium, mausoleum, hospital and convalescent
home.
CURRENT STATUS
The Planning Commission voted 8-0-0 to recommend approval of the rezoning to the City
Council subject to the Bill of Assurance offered by the applicant.

Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of the requested rezonings.

Tim, would you like to enlighten us on this before we start?
Conklin: Madam Chair and members of the Commission, this is a result of the
applicants, Julian and Jane Archer, bringing forward a building permit to
establish and build a new bam on their property. During the discussions,
and we also did a site visit, we discovered that there were no longer horses
on this property. This property is very historic, it is a large property up on
top of what we call Markham Hill. During our site visit we did note that
there is an existing bam, there is an existing corral on the property so there
is evidence of horses on this property over many years. However, it has
been approximately 3-5 years since horses were on this property and
therefore, we are not allowed to allow the reestablishment of horses
without down zoning the property from R-1, Low Density Residential,
which is four units per acre to A-1, Agricultural, which is two units per
acre single-family homes. That is why it is before you. It is fairly unique,
we don't see this happen too often. Our current zoning ordinance does not
have a provision for horses within residential zoning districts. That is
something we may want to consider in the future but at this time the only
way to reestablish horses back on this property would be rezoning this to
A-1. They have offered a Bill of Assurance, it is in your packet. That Bill
of Assurance talks about not allowing commercial chicken houses, feed or
hog production, trailer parks, cemetery, crematorium, mausoleum,
hospital, and convalescent homes. They are removing some of the more
objectionable uses from the A-1 zoning district as part of the Bill of
Assurance which has been offered by the applicant. That is all I have.
Hoffman: Can you tell us what other uses might be included that might be
permissible under this zoning that they did not exclude in their Bill of
Assurance? I am thinking of animal related enterprises and I don't know
if we have it in our packet under the use units. While you are looking that
up I will go ahead and call on the applicant's representative. If you could

give us your name and go ahead and give us your presentation.
Winston: I don't have a presentation. My name is Winston and Winston and I live
on the top of Markham Hill. Dr. Archer asked me to come and represent
him. I have talked to him about the issue and I am really here to just
answer any questions if I can if you have any.
Hoffman: Ok, thank you very much. Is there any member of the public that would
wish to address us on this item? I don't see anybody so I will bring it back
to the Commission and to the applicant for further discussion.
Hoover: I have got a question for staff, maybe just because I've never looked
clearly at a Bill of Assurance. Shouldn't we be filling out item one and
two with what the property shall be limited to? It seems to me it opens us
up to a lot of things.
Conklin: Number three states specific activities will not be allowed on the
Petitioner's property including... that is how it reads. This is a form that
we give to the applicants to get into a form that is enforceable by the City
of Fayetteville. That is how they filled it out.
Hoover: We don't fill out item number one?
Conklin: We can't ask for a Bill of Assurance. We give them a standard form and
they fill it out, which states the activities will not include commercial
chicken houses and the other items that were listed.
Hoover: So usually when we get a Bill of Assurance it doesn't have all the items
categorized.
Warrick: In many situations an applicant will offer to limit the uses to a certain
thing and in other situations they will offer to allow a certain thing on the
property. It is basically up to the applicant as to how they choose to make
an offering to the City with regard to restrictions. In this case they have
chosen to restrict certain uses as opposed to limit to a certain thing.
Hoover: Does that open us up to other uses that we are not thinking about?
Conklin: I will read you what is in unit six. Agriculture, agricultural uses and
services, Farm: Crop -Egg -Truck, Services: Hay baling, smoking, curing
and selling of smoked or cured poultry and livestock, Sorting- packing and
selling fruits, vegetables and flowers, Threshing. We removed cemetery,
crematorium , mausoleum, Institutional Use: hospital, convalescent home.

Hoffman: I can't imagine that we would be having a rifle range up on top of the bill.
I think that probably violates some other city ordinances.
Hoover: What about a fairground?
Conklin: Rodeo ground. The applicant's representative is here. He has been told
what the Archers will be using their property for. Basically the
Commission had some concerns with regard to some of the additional
uses. If you are authorized you can limit those uses further.
Winston: I am not authorized to limit it any further. Some of those things that you
just mentioned were new to me.
Ward: Tim, why couldn't we just do a conditional use for horses?
Conklin: We don't have that allowed in our code at this time. This comes up, it is
interesting the number of farm animals the Planning Division has had to
deal with over the years. We removed a llama, a goat, some turkeys,
chickens. We haven't had too much experience with Vietnamese potbelly
pigs, a bee hive, we had a horse up on South Country Club Hill, an
addition with a regular back yard, wood fence, looking over the top of the
fence. It is an issue. Certain areas are more appropriate than others. I
guess my initial comments were that maybe this is something that we do
need to look at with regard to residential zoning districts. We do have a
large potential subdivision coming to the Commission off of Hwy. 265
adjacent to Hyland Park. There is existing horses in that area, it is zoned
R-1 and their plans are to leave that boarding stable within that R-1 as an
existing legal non -conforming use. However, it does pose issues with
regard to horses in R-1 neighborhoods.
Estes: Mr. Conklin, would you consider removing a little female black lab named
Katie that digs a lot? Would you do that for me?
Conklin: If I go out there and I can tell it is a kennel I can get it removed, if not,. no.
Ward: In their application letter they basically got to the point that they are
building a 15 horse stall barn, which tells about pattern and color and that
kind of stuff and also that they will have no more than 20 horses on this
property. They kind of offered a lot of assurances in their application
letter.

Conklin: They did not fill out that form in that manner. I would be more than
happy to talk with Julian and Jane Archer regarding the concerns. I know
they are in a hurry and I am not asking you to forward this if you would
like me to talk to them further about that.
Motion:
Estes: The two rezoning requests before us, if we take dispositive action it will
be forwarded to the City Council, our action is advisory only. This is just
to restore the use as it previously existed. For those reasons I would move
for approval of RZN 02-9.00 and 02-12.00.
Marr: I will second.
Hoffman: I have a motion by Commissioner Estes and a second by Commissioner
Man: and I will add that in agreement I went up to the property today and I
can remember back when it was a horse facility and it seems that that is a
great use for it to get replaced. With that being said, if the staff could
possibly work with the applicants on these other concerns as it goes
forward through the process, before it gets to City Council.
Conklin: Sure, we will do that. I would like for the record to be clear which item
you are voting on.
Hoffman: We are going to vote on them separately. We have a motion on both but I
will go ahead and vote separately on each. Can I ask the motion and the
second if that is ok to split your motions or did you intend to have them go
forward together?
Estes: The movement will separate the motions into two different items, RZN
02-9.00 move for approval and then RZN 02-12.00 move for approval.
Hoffman: Thank you. Commissioner Marr?
Man: I will second that.
Hoffman: Renee, would you call the roll?
Hoover: I have a question for our City Attorney because I want to understand. The
letter that we have submitted with the Bill of Assurance, does that have
any legal binding?
Whitaker: It would not because it is below the signature, it is not part of the Bill of
Assurance. The signature boxes here are known as subscriptions on the
Bill of Assurance. Anything coming after that would not be considered as

part of it. Those letters I think were just for your information and to
explain to you what the purpose of the request was. They would not be
part of the Bill of Assurance.
Hoover: I am going to have to vote against this. I am not against what they are
proposing to do but I don't feel comfortable without this in the Bill of
Assurance.
Hoffman: See,
that is
yet to be determined
until it gets to the City Council. There is
still
time to
nail it down. That is
my opinion.
Conklin: I will call Julian and Jane Archer and ask if they will reverse how theyare
doing the Bill of Assurance to what is allowed on the property to more
reflect what is in the letter. Talking with them they were a little shocked
when I went up there and could not find any horses running around that
after all 800 years of having animals up there, they had to go through this
process. I am fairly confident that in talking with them I can get them to
draft it in a manner that is consistent with the letter that they provided.
Hoover: And that can be done before the Council meeting?
Conklin: Yes, I will call them tomorrow.
Shackelford: Just a follow up question for Mr. Whitaker. I had a conversation about
this form with Mr. Williams in the past and it has been mentioned in this
meeting that we can not require Bills of Assurances, they have to be
offered. Can we go back at this point in your opinion and tell them what
we want to see on the Bill of Assurance? Are we not opening ourselves
up?
Whitaker: • I think this may be hair splitting but sometimes it is as subtle, as the
essence of the whole thing. You can't say "Unless you agree to do this we
won't approve your rezoning." However, there is nothing wrong now that
they have offered these to saying "Well, how about this?" That is the give
and take in the preliminary. The conditioning of the acceptance of the
rezoning upon demands, which they would be if you termed it that way is
a different story than an even handed arms length negotiation between the
parties about what would work for both. If what I am understanding Mr.
Conklin is proposing is really just clarifying what is already here. Rather
than using the exclusive language or channel, number three, it would go
to, excuse me, that is inclusive in a list. Number one would be exclusive
and state the following is all that will be there. I think that is a fine
enough distinction where you are really just trying to get detail, you're not
trying to exact new demands on the applicant.

Conklin: Just one other aspect to this Bill of Assurance. When they met with City
staff we did not tell them they had to do a Bill of Assurance. They asked
us how, this rezoning how they could help alleviate some of the
neighbor's concerns. We mentioned to them that other applicants have
used a Bill of Assurance to avoid having concerns over some of the uses
allowed in zoning districts and so that is exactly what I would be trying to
•do is to express to them some of your concerns and say "Is there any
way?" I know what they want to do. They have plans and they have it all
drawn up. They would like to have some horses up on that piece of
property. Thank you.
Hoffman: Renee, would you call the roll please?
Roll Call: Upon the completion of roll call the motion to forward RZN 02-9.00 was

To the members of the Fayetteville City Council:
We want very much to be present at the City Council meeting
to which our rezoning request is being submitted, especially since
the barn project and having horses is very important to us, but it
would entail canceling my, Julian's, classes at Drake University
where I teach, and a fast turnaround trip from Des Moines to
Fayetteville for a few minutes of appearance before the Council.
We trust that our proposal will speak for itself and have,
further, appointed as our representative Mr. Winston Winston who,
as overseer of our property in Fayetteville, is knowledgeable and can
answer most of the questions and concerns you may have.. If you
would like to visit the property before the zoning request is brought
up at the May 7 Council meeting, please telephone Mr. Winston at
575-0136. He would be delighted to show you around. For your
information, most of the property in question is not visible from the
street, so the only possible way to see it is arrange for a visit.

To the members of the Fayetteville City Council:
We would like to request reimbursement for one of the two
$325 fees we have paid to process our rezoning request. Since the
two pastures for which we are requesting rezoning from R-1 to A-1
represent one combined proposal for the Planning Staff, one set of
notices, one combined hearing by the Planning Commission and the
City Council with little, if any, additional effort and expense than
would have been required for just one of them, we are requesting a
refund of the second $325 for the second pasture. The fee of $325
for one is already quite substantial, but $650 for essentially the
same amount of work seems very steep indeed.

RZN 02-9.00: Rezoning (Archer, pp 481) was submitted by Julian & Jane Archer for
property located at 2231 Markham Road. The property is zoned R-1, Low Density
Residential and contains approximately 18.80 acres. The request is to rezone to A-1,
Agricultural.
Hoffman: Our next items are two companion items which are RZN 02-9.00 and RZN
02-12.00, which are rezonings for Archer, which was submitted by Julian
and Jane Archer for property located a 2231 Markham Road. The
property is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential and contains
approximately 4.1 acres. The request is to rezone to A-1, Agricultural.
The second companion item, I will go ahead and just go through this, is a
rezoning submitted by the Archers for property located at 2231 Markham
Road. The property is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential and contains
approximately 18.80 acres. The request is to rezone to A-1, Agricultural.
Tim, would you like to enlighten us on this before we start?
Coin: Madam Chair and members of the Commission, this is a result of the
applicants, Julian and Jane Archer, bringing forward a building permit to
establish and build a new barn on their property. During the discussions,
and we also did a site visit, we discovered that there were no longer horses
on this property. This property is very historic, it is a large property up on
top of what we call Markham Hill. During our site visit we did note that
there is an existing barn, there is an existing corral on the property so there
is evidence of horses on this property over many years. However, it has
been approximately 3-5 years since horses were on this property and
therefore, we are not allowed to allow the reestablishment of horses
without down zoning the property from R-1, Low Density Residential,
which is four units per acre to A-1, Agricultural, which is two units per
acre single-family homes. That is why it is before you. It is fairly unique,
we don't see this happen too often. Our current zoning ordinance does not
have a provision for horses within, residential zoning districts. That is
something we may want to consider in the future but at this time the only
way to reestablish horses back on this property would be rezoning this to
A-1. They have offered a Bill of Assurance, it is in your packet That Bill
of Assurance talks about not allowing commercial chicken houses, feed or
hog production, trailer parks, cemetery, crematorium, mausoleum,
hospital, and convalescent homes. They are removing some of the more
objectionable uses from the A-i zoning district as part of the Bill of
Assurance which has been offered by the applicant. That is all I have.
Hoffman: Can you tell us what other uses might be. included that might be
permissible, under this zoning that they did not exclude in their Bill of
Assurance? I am thinking of animal related enterprises and I don't know
if we have it in our packet under the use units. While you are looking that
up I will go ahead and call on the applicant's representative. If you could
Planning Commission • •

Page 48
give us your name and go ahead and give us your presentation.
Winston: I don't have a presentation. My name is Winston and Winston and I live
on the top of Markham Hill. Dr. Archer asked me to come and represent
him. I have talked to him about the issue and I am really here to just
answer any questions if I can if you have any.
Hoffman: Ok, thank you very much. Is there any member of the public that would
wish to address us on this item? I don't see anybody so I will bring it back
to the Commission and to the applicant for further discussion.
Hoover: I have got a question for staff, maybe just because I've never looked
clearly at a Bill of Assurance. Shouldn't we be filling out item one and
two with what the property shall be limited to? It seems to me it opens us
up to a lot of things.
Conklin: Number three states specific activities will not be allowed on the
Petitioner's property including... that is how it reads. This is a form that
• we give to the applicants to get into a form that is enforceable by the City
• of Fayetteville. That is how they filled it out.
Hoover: We don't fill out item number one?
Conklin: We can't ask for a Bill of Assurance. We give them a standard form and
they fill it out, which states the activities will not include commercial
chicken houses and the other items that were listed.
Hoover: So usually when we get a Bill of Assurance it doesn't have all the items
categorized.
Warrick: In many situations an applicant will offer to limit the uses to a certain
thing and in other situations they will offer to allow a certain thing on the
property. It is basically up to the applicant as to how they choose to make
an offering to the City with regard to restrictions. In this case they have
chosen to restrict certain uses as opposed to limit to a certain thing.

services, Farm: Crop -Egg -Truck, Services: Hay baling, smoking, curing
and selling of smoked or cured poultry and livestock, Sorting- packing and
selling fruits, vegetables and flowers, Threshing. We removed cemetery,
