Special City Council Meeting Thursday, February 20, 2014 Page 19 McGehee opined that the City had good design standards in general around the City with nice looking buildings brought forward by developers, recognizing some excellent plans brought forward in the last few years. As far as the last piece if this was divided and referencing Mayor Roe's comments, Councilmem- ber McGehee opined that regarding the large PIK terminal parcel, from the stand- point of the park if residential use was dropped next to the line partway across the map, she would prefer more of a buffer on the south end of the lake while still giving the owner more options. If a consensus, Councilmember McGehee spoke in support of a predominant CMU with residential and minimal tweaks, noting that there was also a ditch running through that helped to buffer the lake as well. Mr. Trudgeon offered to bring this item back for a final look before adoption. Mr. Paschke displayed a copy of current uses under the current CMU. Mayor Roe sought consensus to consider looking at a division of the CMU today minus a few things to describe it. Councilmember McGehee supported that in the purple designated map display with a few restrictions. Councilmember Etten spoke in support of the two-color concept; but questioned what would not be permitted there, and if questioned if the PIK property was di- vided would it create development issues; expressing his preference to leave it open as long as he was clear on what was not a permitted use and allow greater flexibility. To revisit previous discussions, Mayor Roe noted it could include residential from 12 units up per acre, office/retail, civic, institutional — all permitted uses — while not allowing warehouse, production, or light manufacturing./ Councilmember Etten questioned if the preference was to make it conditional to allow for that, with definition of when permitted without actually excluding it. Mr. Trudgeon advised that it would a permitted use with conditions. Councilmember Willmus questioned if the goal would be met in providing a big- ger buffer around Langton Lake since the Conditional Use would run with the land. Councilmember Etten recognized the park dedication option to encourage devel- opment as it occurred, and creating a buffer by expanding the park in that area as part of that development. Councilmember Etten recognized the amount of coor- dination required between multiple owners and the City,but expressed confidence
