OLD BUSINESS CommercialJIndustrial Permitted tlses - Minimum Building_ siz Chairperson Tourville rooted that Ordinance #4 does need some revising. The Industrial Park is located within the flood plain and is not engineered very well. The present drainage swale system appears to be a problem. Committee member LaMotte asked how the City could enhance the appearance of the Industrial Park. In his opinion the appearance could be a hindrance. Committee member Drilling expressed that in his opinion the minimum building size requirements for commercial and industrial lots are good. Committee member Drilling noted that if the pole building moratorium was lifted that this may encourage development. Committee member Welk noted that the minimum building size should be left alone. The City of Centerville only has so much room for commercial /industrial growth. The City should make the best of what they have. There are no proposals or building at present asking for a variance. Liaison Burgstahler stated that in his opinion it would not be best for the City in the long run to reduce the minimum building size if the City warts an increased tax base. The present economic conditions could be hindering development. Chairperson Tourville questioned Liaison Burgstahler as to the status of the Flood Plain Reduction Project. Liaison Burgstahler noted that it is up to the City Council to review all the input they have received and rethink if all that was originally proposed is necessary. The project is held up by the Rice Creek Water Shed. Objections, not to the project, but to the assessments were raised.
