Recommended by the Planning Commission, As Requested: (1) r-85 LARRY PEEL 091 By Kristaponis, Gregory & Assoc. 5331 Mesa Drive, also bounded by Dry Creek Drive Park West Condominiums, 148 units Existing Zoning "I-RR" Pending Zoning "SF-6" RECOMMENDED ORDINANCE PASSAGE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION, SITE PLAN APPROVED SUBJECT TO DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION AND ORDINANCES Prior to the beginning of the hearing of this case, Councilmember Rose made the following statement: "When this case was originally heard by the Council on first reading in July of 1985 we were operating under what is now the old Ethics Ordinance. In September of this year a new Ethics Ordinance came into effect. It has been called to my attention that there is a clause or provision in the Ethics Ordinance that the City Attorney, in his opinion, will prevent me from voting on this case. Without speaking to the merits of the case...let me say I frankly believe this is a section of the ordinance that we are going to need to change, but nevertheless in the opinion of the City Attorney I should not be able to vote. The specific provision is that a 'City official or employee may not participate in a vote or a decision on a matter affecting a person, entity or property in which the official has a substantial interest'. This case is very close to my house, in which obviously I have a substantial interest in and it is, at least today, valued at more than $5,000.00. The second clause which catches me is that, and affected in the case of a person or property means reasonably likely to be subject to a direct economic effect or consequence, either positive or negative as a result of the vote or decision in question'. Which means the question would be would the vote on this case have a direct economic benefit whether it be positive or negative. What concerns me and concerned Jonathan Davis and Barney Knight can amplify this, the following clause which says, 'the vote or decision need not be the only producing cause of the economic effect or consequence reasonably likely to result in determining whether a person, entity or property is or was affected by a vote or decision it shall not be necessary to prove the Council Memo 15 12/11/86 actual existence or occurrence of an economic effect or consequence if such effect or consequence would be reasonably expected to exist to occur'. What this means is, even though I am well outside the 300' notification, just because somebody believes that I am in the neighborhood, and I voted on this case, then in my opionion, they could come down and file a claim on me and therefore, I cannot and will not vote on the matter. I think that needs to be changed, although this is in my neighborhood and when they did the appraisal on my house they did take samples from the general area. I frankly think there needs to be some type of distance or further definition other than just Councilmembers being held out with, 'well, it's in the neighborhood and it could have affected the value of your property, I don't have to prove it I can just think that and file a claim' And, based on that, I am not going to be able to vote on this case." " Councilmember Rose then asked Barney Knight, City Attorney to discuss this. Mr. Knight stated, "I can't amplify on that, you did an excellent job, Mr. Rose. The language is very broad and exposes members of Council to criticism, if you will, under very vague circumstances and I don't know that I can amplify on that language and be any more specific than the language itself. It is very broad. somebody can make an allegation and then does not have to establish that there was any economic impact one way or the other...that's awfully broad." ------------------ ------ When Speakers at the zoning hearing were Donna Kristaponis, Larry Peel, Ruth Chang, Shirl Cook, Harold Burnet, Margie Gentry, Drew West, Irene Friedney, Gordon Hanson, John Johnson and Naomi Lattrel.
