Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,January 27,2014 <br /> Page 35 <br /> Councilmember McGehee suggesting eliminating warehousing/distribution; with <br /> Councilmember Laliberte noting it was already along Cleveland Avenue and <br /> questioned where else it would be allowed in that area. <br /> Mr. Paschke advised that distribution was not currently allowed in the Twin <br /> Lakes Redevelopment Area. <br /> Mayor Roe questioned if]light manufacturing should be eliminated; with Coun- <br /> cilmember Willmus noting that that may serve to eliminate a potential medical <br /> device manufacturer, but it was hard to accurately identify that possibility without <br /> definitions. <br /> Mr. Paschke advised that this could be specifically permitted, if they were looking <br /> for something like a heart device assembly business, but not a tool and die busi- <br /> ness. <br /> At the suggestion of Mayor Roe to identify a use as "high tech," Mr. Paschke re- <br /> sponded that it would be difficult to identify them. <br /> At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Mayor Roe clarified that civic and <br /> institutional would be allowed, such as a large educational institution, whether <br /> public or private. Councilmember McGehee questioned if that was meeting the <br /> goal to build a better tax base, if allowing for a use that took the property off the <br /> tax roll in a significant way. Councilmember Willmus responded that a private <br /> school (e.g. Rasmussen Business School) may not require it to be removed from <br /> the tax rolls. Councilmember Etten questioned if it was an applicable use if <br /> someone built an office building and a private school leased it. <br /> Consensus (4/1) was that civic and institutional uses remain in this district; with <br /> other uses also remaining. <br /> #3 (boundaries of County Road C, continuation of Iona Lane, Fairview Avenue <br /> and Arthur Street) <br /> Mayor Roe suggested eliminating warehousing and light manufacturing in this ar- <br /> ea. <br /> Councilmember McGehee suggested production precluded based on scale; how- <br /> ever, Mayor Roe suggested it was important to keep that as a use to facilitate po- <br /> tential brew pubs. <br /> The consensus was to preclude warehousing/distribution, production/processing, <br /> and light manufacturing. <br /> Area 3 —Terrace Drive <br />
