Regular City Council Meeting Monday,May 4, 2015 Page 32 endeavor, even though the neighborhood had organized, been courteous and played by the rules, they continued to be discounted and things remained prede- termined from her perspective,just like Twin Lakes Parkway, as well as moving from HDR to CMU zoning even though the neighborhood asked by petition that it not occur. Ms. Erickson noted that she didn't have a 750' buffer between her property and adjacent property, but abutted on the business directly behind here, and would have preferred MDR in that area to protect her single-family parcel. Ms. Erickson stated her love for the neighborhood, and the desire of her and her neighbors not to see it urbanized, nor did they desire to become an Oakcrest that was cut off from the rest of the community. At a minimum, Ms. Erickson thanked the City Council for the process that al- lowed her to get to know her neighbors much better. However, Ms. Erickson not- ed that neighbors had yet to receive one response to the petitions submitted to the City Council; and reiterated her request that their neighborhood's desire to be heard. Brooke Tosi, 1766 Millwood Avenue Echoing what some are saying, Ms. Tosi opined that multi-family uses in Subarea A should remain as NP uses. Ms. Tosi thanked the City Council for the good dis- cussion about CU's and how that would allow the City to have input on the kind of development for a particular area, which she saw working in Subareas B and C. However, Ms. Tosi opined that Subarea A was different in that regard, and refer- enced the positive and/or neutral survey responses for duplexes in Subarea A (former Subarea 4) and could support P with CU near those residential areas. Mayor Roe emphasized that work on the Table of Uses and map lines remained preliminary and would be subject to further public input; and at a minimum a pub- lic hearing before the Planning Commission as required by state law and city code. Mayor Roe noted there would also be opportunities for additional feedback by other means, as usual, as discussions continued. Councilmember Laliberte stated that she remained clear about her perspective on the various conversations; and she reminded the public that she had asked for and was confident that the City Council would get to a discussion about HDR. Coun- cilmember Laliberte stated that, from her perspective, she felt there was still too many permitted uses even though other grandfathered uses were in place at this time. Also, Councilmember Laliberte noted the need to address opportunities to get more MDR in the City, as there were many current residents who may be ready to move from their single-family homes. Councilmember Laliberte advised that she may give further consideration as to whether to support multi-family resi- dential as a P use and encourage MDR next to single-family homes.
