Regular City Council Meeting Monday,July 22,2013 Page 14 Mr. Zwebber stated that there was no question that the connection of Twin Lakes Parkway was vital to open up the entire area for people to access Twin Lakes as well as to get to Rosedale. Mr. Zwebber opined that it would take considerable pressure off County Road C. Mr. Foster concurred; opining that anything you could do anything to move de- velopment one step ahead, such as extending Twin Lakes Parkway to Terrace Drive, it would serve to do a lot of good for redevelopment, especially west of Fairview Avenue. Mr. Foster noted that infrastructure was the first step to seeing redevelopment occur; and extending the Parkway would benefit that ultimate goal and eliminate one more step in the process. Understanding that it was more pre- ferred to tie infrastructure improvements to actual projects, Mr. Foster opined that it would take considerable pressure off County Road C when the area redevel- oped, and serve to benefit everyone. At the request of Mayor Roe, Mr. Trudgeon reviewed the next steps in taking a fresh look at the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area after the previous AUAR and to determine any new ideas, zoning code revisions, or permitted uses. Mr. Trudg- eon advised that the goal of this initial discussion was to receive direct input from property owners and bring that input back to the City Council for further discus- sion and direction to staff Mr. Trudgeon advised that part of that further discus- sion would include how and if the previous Master Plan was still applicable to- day; whether there were additional zoning regulations needed or existing ones re- vised; any changes for process approval; the scope of the entire Twin Lakes area, and whether to remove or add some parcels; and a review of adjacent parcels as they relate to Twin Lakes parcels and how they compared. Mr. Trudgeon advised that those next steps and that further discussion would be scheduled as time allowed; and noted continued welcome of input from the devel- opment community at any regular meetings of the City Council or on a one-on- one basis with staff At this time, Mr. Trudgeon anticipated further discussion in August of this year. At the request of Mayor Roe, Mr. Trudgeon advised that staff was current with contact information for developers. On behalf of the City Council and staff, Mayor Roe thanked developers for their attendance and comment; and encouraged that they continue the dialogue. 13. Business Items (Action Items) C.
