Meeting Minutes - P & Z <br /> page three <br /> February 1, 1994 <br /> asked to seek another site. Ms. Miltz - Miller noted that if the <br /> Comprehensive Plan is changed, is there another site that <br /> Planning and Zoning would prefer. Ms. Miltz- Miller noted that <br /> the former "Golden Meadows" site has been suggested to Mr. <br /> Helgeson as a possible alternative. <br /> Bob LaMotte, 1643 Heritage Street, was present. Mr. LaMotte <br /> expressed concern with the "Golden Meadows" site due to the Lino <br /> Lakes industrial zoning abutting the site and the potential for <br /> noise. Mr. LaMotte noted the LeRoux property and St. Genevieve's <br /> property may have more desirable potential as senior housing <br /> sites. <br /> Chairperson Tourville noted the flood plain issue, regarding the <br /> Main Street site, may be a big issue. <br /> Clerk /Administrator Miltz- Miller asked what type of time frame <br /> does the Planning and Zoning Commission see for senior housing in <br /> Centerville. <br /> Commission member LaMotte expressed that he felt this project was <br /> being "railroaded ". Commission member LaMotte expressed he did <br /> not want the project to move along too fast. Commission member <br /> LaMotte expressed a time frame of one or two years would be fine. <br /> Commission member LaMotte would like the City to explore more <br /> options. <br /> Chairperson Tourville noted there is a need for senior housing, <br /> and it is only going to increase. Chairperson Tourville noted he <br /> can not see much happening within the next six months to a year, <br /> however it behooves the City to keep the time element to a <br /> minimum. <br /> Commission member Welk expressed she does not want to make a <br /> hasty decision. Commission member Welk expressed that she does <br /> not see how the proposed site for the senior facility would be <br /> compatible with the current businesses abutting the site. <br /> Commission member Welk noted younger people may go to work, while <br /> a majority of the seniors may stay at the facility during the <br /> day. The trucking business noise may become a problem with the <br /> residents of the senior housing. <br /> Commission member Vermeulen noted in five to ten years more <br /> commercial development (i.e. bank) may locate near the proposed <br /> site. It was noted the City of Centerville does not know what <br /> Lino Lakes has planned for the area. Commission member Vermeulen <br /> would not like to see the project placed on the back burner, <br /> however she did not want the project rushed through. <br />
