Regular City Council Meeting Monday,May 4, 2015 Page 13 Councilmember McGehee stated that she thought of those things related to Subar- ea C differently than those things right on Cleveland Avenue, noting that uses next to Subarea B at the bottom part of Subarea A and bumping up against Subar- ea C south of Twin Lakes Parkway created significant differences for her between that and the northerly strip along Langton Lake Park. Councilmember McGehee stated she was unsure what she thought about the upper piece of Subarea C, but opined that somehow Subarea C itself had a different character than the internal side of the pieces. Mayor Roe stated that he drew a line on his personal map, opining that the south part of Subarea A belongs in Subarea C (actually Subarea B or C) due to its adja- cency to the central core of Subarea C. In the staff report, Mr. Lloyd noted that Twin Lakes Parkway seemed to become an apparent dividing line between where places seemed to favor higher or lower density uses (e.g. residential), suggesting that may correspond to the issue raised by Mayor Roe. Councilmember McGehee spoke in support of a more horizontal line on the map; while Mayor Roe expressed his preference for the previous line on the map; and Councilmember Willmus suggested dissecting parcels may actually play out with dollar indications. Mayor Roe recognized a clear consensus by Councilmembers Laliberte, Etten and Willmus as well as himself, for Twin Lakes Parkway to serve as the dividing line. Regarding boundaries, Mayor Roe offered his perspective in the northwest section of Subarea A adjacent to Cleveland Avenue, recognizing the concern raised by Councilmember Willmus in dividing parcels, making him question whether Sub- area A is correct for those properties adjacent to the storm water pond and adja- cent to Langton Lake Park. Mr. Bilotta responded that Subarea A involved properties near the more sensitive issues (e.g. Langton Lake Park) and those areas of concern. While the decision was qualitative, Mr. Bilotta suggested taking those parcels on the far east and drawing a line; while other parcels have visibility to County Road C and/or Cleveland Avenue. Mr. Bilotta opined that this would avoid splitting parcels while still providing protection for the park. Mayor Roe expressed concern with narrowing Subarea A and it only becoming a strip adjacent to the park. Councilmember McGehee opined that the storm water pond was a nice amenity for future development in the area. Councilmember McGehee expressed her sup-
