Regular City Council Meeting Monday,May 14, 2012 Page 9 referenced and at the Commission's disposal. Commissioner Gisselquist noted that a concern of the Commission was that the Twin Lakes Study was older than the Comprehensive Plan itself, and questioned if it remained viable or had be- come obsolete or needed changing based on current circumstances, including the economy. Commissioner Gisselquist questioned if the Commission should "wait and see" the outcome of the Wal-mart discussion and City Council deci- sion, or if further refinement of documents required more flexibility for the fu- ture of the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area in today's reality. Chair Boerigter noted that the Commission was questioning if there was a need, at some point in the near future, for the City Council to become more pro-active in developing the area since it didn't seem to be happening, and hadn't hap- pened over the last thirty (30) years, suggesting that more may be needed than the "wait and see" approach of determining if proposed developments fit in that redevelopment area; or whether the City needed to spend money to foster addi- tional development. Chair Boerigter noted that, to-date, nothing beyond Wal- mart had gotten this far at Twin Lakes; and questioned if the City needed to be more aggressive; or if not, how the Planning Commission could serve to help accomplish development in the Twin Lakes area through recommendations on land use and zoning issues. Commissioner Strohmeier noted that his had been the only dissenting vote on the Commission in approving the Wal-mart Plat proposal; in addition to his dif- ficulty in supporting past votes on the Twin Lakes Regulating Map. From his perspective, Commissioner Strohmeier advised that the type of urban design with buildings at lines and minimal setbacks, had been unfamiliar to him, and he opined that they attempted to make the area more restrictive, and not allowing for the original Twin Lakes Study Plan buffers and protection of open space, while still fostering development. Councilmember Johnson asked Commissioner Strohmeier his specific concerns and opposition to the Wal-mart proposal. Commissioner Strohmeier advised that, as a local government, it should be gov- erned by the City's Comprehensive Plan, its Zoning Code, and City Code, as well as any other singular district plans attached to the Comprehensive Plan. In his research, Commissioner Strohmeier opined that he was concerned about things listed in the Comprehensive Plan, including sustainable living wage jobs and quality of life; and the Planning Commission's use of its discretion on over- arching goals. Commissioner Strohmeier noted that he respected the viewpoint of the Commission majority. At the request of Mayor Roe, remaining Commissioners declined to comment on their personal positions in supporting the Wal-mart proposal.
