We generally dlscourage the use v~ c0ncentrated townhousing on the OWasso s~te, because of 1tS shallow depth and potential difflculty in rezon~ng ~n thc single family lake- side area. We talked about other locat1ollS ~n Rosevllle that might bc appropr1ate. Dunwell. 483-6701 ~om Dunwell was ln with Jerry Kaufhold, owner and operator of Rose Galler~es, who lS lntcrested ln poss~bly purchasing the Lexington School s~te to creatc an "antlque" l'l"all. This concept 1S where a group of antlque dealers lccate on a slnglc site, perhaps up to forty or flfty of them, and where they cooperate wlth onc another 1n mannlng the sales floor. Mr. Du~well had d layout showlng how the parking could be expanded on the site to up to 214 cars. The gross building area lS 51,000 square feet (according to Mr. Dunwell). The net leaseable area is 41,275 square feet. The latter, a~ five spaces per thousand, would require 206 cars. Th~ existlog parklng 1S for 115 cars. We talked about the impact of the redevelopment of the school Slte on the o'"erall parks plan and our suggestion thac this 1ssue be addressed in any proposal. ~~c method would be to dedicate a 1.75 acre parcel in the southwest part of the site containing the ball field, plus a depth of 135' x 350' to the southeast part of the slte. Each of these dedications would tend to plovide a trar.sltion from the exist1ng single family areas to the west and south. I suggested that simply rezoning the land tcr business uses without some method of protectlng the cont1guous single famlly homeownelS could be very difflcult. Although the Clty does not rcqu\rc dedica- tlon of th1S much land, certainly this techniquc addresses the City'S concern wlth respect to thc recreat10n sy~tem, and could provide a "zonlng solution.1t I cautioned Mr. Kal.:.fhold that such d~dicatlon may have connlderable impact on what is reasonablc to offer for the land, noting that what he pa~d for it lS not directly the City's b~siness. The problem, however, of getting the land rezoned and used for business purposes ~~ conslderable, and crles for some kind of solu- tion. We noted, too, the importance of belng aware of the energy code and llfe safety considerations for the redevelop- ment of the buildlng. In other words~ the question of insulation and rcglaz1ng of the bUllding, and the provision for sprinkllng could be an lmportant factor. We also notcd that there would be a Slxteen and onc-half foot requlrement ded1cation on Lexlngton Avenue~ and a ten foot dedication on County Road B.
