Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 27, 2014 Page 34 Mayor Roe noted that this was his consideration in allowing light industrial, to al- low for entrepreneurship opportunities. Mayor Roe recognized the need to not limit the size of retail, and unless others on the City Council objected, he would be supportive of all types of residential on that site, with a smaller scale of retail and smaller scale for production/processing. Councilmember McGehee advised that she would also have no problem allowing for office use; but expressed her concern in the scale of retail operations or manu- facturing, not considering RB-2. Councilmember Willmus advised that he did not yet know his response to scale, but thought it would become evident as this exercise proceeded. In conclusion for this area, City Manager Trudgeon reviewed that some uses would be permitted as long as modified for scale; whether limiting size, uses or appearances; but no light manufacturing; yes to include civic and institutional; but no warehousing. Area 2—Cleveland and County Road C Mayor Roe suggested breaking this area into smaller pieces; with consensus to consider three areas as indicated below. #1 - U shaped area (boundaries of Mount Ridge Road and Fairview Avenue, north of what would be a continuation of Iona Lane and adjacent to Langton Lake) Councilmember questioned if there was any desire for housing in this area, opin- ing that it made sense around the park and lake, especially on Mount Ridge Road where the Hagen property was located. Councilmember Willmus noted that on Iona Lane to Arthur, there was right-of- way there, with Mr. Trudgeon identifying it as a sewer easement. Discussion ensued regarding the location of the Hagen parcels; and current sites being considered for HRD, currently zoned HDR. For discussion purposes, a line was drawn all the way from Mount Ridge Road to Fairview Avenue, with the northern half incorporating Langton Lake. #2 - L on w/s side (boundaries of County Road C and County Road C-2; and Cleveland Avenue and Mount Ridge Road) Councilmember Etten opined that this would be a great spot to remove LDR; but the consensus was to not eliminate potential HDR of 24 plus units/acre.
