� i December 28, 1983 Planning Office Hours -2- 4) Nye - 920-928Q. Lynmore Nye is a research specialist with the Ebezhardt Realty Company. He has been assigned to investigate the potential for the Glacier Land Company's pr�perty (tormer Burlington Northern property) , which, of cours�, was the site of the old Hart Motor Freight Company Terminal. Glacier Land is now a subsidiary af Burlington Northern. They are actively att�mpting to market the land through Eberhardt. Lpnmore Nye's visit was an opportunity for us as a city to have them fully i.nfor�d as to the nature and intent of the tax increment program and its impact on surrounding land uses and values. 5) Dreh�r - Dick Dreher is the leasing agent for the proposed development north of i�osedale. He has met with the contiguous neighborhood areas at meetings conducted at the City Hal1 on November 29th and December lst. He reports that bath meetings went well, with emphasis upon detail solutions relating to landscape, lighting; and ��r the north area, conce rn about any traffic increase that might occur. 'I'his issue will be coming before the Planning Commission at their January meeting. As you will recall, Marv Wilkenson had previously proposed and plans were approved for a coanbined sports and retail structure on this site. The basic setbacks and conditions contiguous to the neighborhood to the east and the north have been incoz�porated in the current proposal which is a 3-story structure with a 2-level ramp. The intense use of this land as now proposed will be very helpful toward the implemation of the tax increment plan. �) Kehr - A1 Kehr, Bob Pope, and Tod Mahagen, architect with Bob Pope, were in to discuss a proposed planned uciit development for Kehr's property south of County Roa�� C, easterly of the Legion Club. The proposed development included 14 t��wnhouses with p rivate access drives which are intended to extend east�rly to Dale Street through other properties similarly situated in the futu.r.�. We suggested a change in the plan which would require droppi.ig cne unit, which also puts the density very close to that which would be required if the land were zoned R-2. It appears this proposal may be ar� efficient way of using the land without building a public street on the s,outh side af these p roperties which is contiguous to Central Park. That cc-ncept had been dropped se�eral years aqo. We stre:�sed the importance of neighborhood acceptabila.ty and compatibility with this project inasmuch as it will only work well if the concept can be extendecl easterly to Dale Street wherein three other landowners are involved on four separate parcels.
