Special Planning Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – Wednesday, June 15, 2011 <br />Page 13 <br />that had developed since the process had begun. However, Mr. Lamb advised that the <br />621 <br />three (3) frontages recommended today represented current staff/consultant <br />622 <br />recommendations. <br />623 <br />Member Strohmeier questioned if there may be a “hybrid” frontage of which the <br />624 <br />Commission was unaware. <br />625 <br />Mr. Lamb noted that the Regulating Map tool is structured toward building-related <br />626 <br />frontages, and depending on the proposed development (e.g. townhome or <br />627 <br />commercial/mixed use), additional specificity could be considered. However, Mr. Lamb <br />628 <br />advised that staff had decided to not recommend that specificity, but rather than <br />629 <br />emphasize the public realm and connectivity for pedestrian qualities for the development, <br />630 <br />without suggesting other form-based code specifics. Mr. Lamb noted that the current <br />631 <br />Regulating Map and Plan had evolved from its original template to provide additional <br />632 <br />flexibility as seen on today’s draft. <br />633 <br />Member Wozniak responded to an earlier comment heard this evening, that the goal of <br />634 <br />the Regulating Map was not to increase activity or the use of Langton Lake Park; but the <br />635 <br />goal of the Map was to create connections between areas in Twin Lakes and Langton <br />636 <br />Lake Park, thereby enhancing the value of all properties in the Twin Lakes <br />637 <br />Redevelopment Area, as well as benefiting the entire community and region. Member <br />638 <br />Wozniak opined that he didn’t see this process as a way for the City to attract more <br />639 <br />people to Langton Lake Park, but to recognize it as an existing asset to the community as <br />640 <br />a whole, and to tap into this currently undervalued asset that could also serve as a <br />641 <br />tremendous asset to any development within that area if the redevelopment was carefully <br />642 <br />laid out to provide that access and connectivity. <br />643 <br />MOTION <br />644 <br />Member Strohmeier moved, seconded by Member Cook to CONTINUE the Public <br />645 <br />Hearing for Project File 0017 to create a Zoning Overlay District over the Twin <br />646 <br />Lakes Redevelopment Area, to the July 6, 2011 regular Planning Commission <br />647 <br />meeting. <br />648 <br />Ayes: 5 <br />649 <br />Nays: 0 <br />650 <br />Motion carried. <br />651 <br />6. Adjourn <br />652 <br />Vice Chair Gisselquist adjourned the meeting at approximately 8:37 p.m. <br />653 <br />
