Council Member Capra asked how they intended to get access to the townhomes if the <br />sale did not go through on the C1 parcel. <br /> <br />Mr. Keleher indicated the County would like them to align the streets, if possible. He <br />th <br />then said that the proposed entrance would need to be negotiated off of 20 Avenue. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra asked whether there is an alternative if the County says no <br />access. <br /> <br />Mr. Keleher indicated that the County has to provide them access. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that Planning and Zoning had discussed <br />some issues needing finalizing should the project move forward. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra asked if this is all contingent upon being awarded TIF for this <br />project. <br /> <br />Mr. Keleher indicated that it would be. <br /> <br />Council Member Lee indicated he is not comfortable with tying the two together as they <br />had been separate issues all along. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers told the developer they are not guaranteed TIF if the <br />rezone is approved. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft asked whether the commercial property would be large enough to <br />meet the commercial size requirements. <br /> <br />Mr. Keleher indicated that it is a contiguous 1.48 acres and there is enough property to <br />meet the minimum 30,000 square feet. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated she is concerned that the developer would come back <br />and propose more townhomes. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft indicated that he had asked the question of whether it is large enough <br />for one lot or if it can be subdivided later. <br /> <br />Council Member Paar asked whether Planning and Zoning had recommended approval of <br />the rezone, lot split, and Comprehensive Plan Amendment. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that Planning and Zoning did move it <br />forward and recommend approval. She then provided an overview of the comments <br />received at that meeting. The concerns were loss of commercial tax base, a person <br />concerned about snowmobiling in her yard, one person who did not like trails or paths, <br />and one person who felt the change would devalue their property. <br /> <br />Page 5 of 14 <br /> <br />
