Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,July 17, 2017 <br /> Page 21 <br /> In their review of the site, Councilmembers Willmus and Etten noted that the site <br /> was surrounded by and adjacent to existing single-family residential, and was a <br /> one acre parcel. <br /> Without objection, Mayor Roe indicated that the council directed staff to consider <br /> re-designation of this site as part of the comprehensive plan process for LDR. <br /> Site 148 (Greenhouse Village) <br /> With this site having an existing single-family home, Mayor Roe noted that the <br /> family was still living on site but that the site had been guided to become part of <br /> the rest of the project, but grandfathered in as a non-conforming single family use <br /> at that time as part of the PUD. <br /> Without objection, Mayor Roe indicated that the council directed staff to leave <br /> this site as currently designated. <br /> Site 78 (Vacant Reiling property at County Road C and Dale Street) <br /> Mayor Roe suggested converting this site from HDR to MDR given its proximity <br /> to the intersection. <br /> Public Comment <br /> Matt Pavek, Golden Valley Land Company (working with the Reiling Fami- <br /> ly) <br /> To make the City Council aware, Mr. Pavek advised that they were currently <br /> working with a senior housing developer with senior housing intended for this <br /> site. With low traffic impacts at this intersection, Mr. Pavek opined that it was a <br /> good fit for a senior housing project. <br /> Councilmember Willmus stated his appreciation for that information. However, <br /> Councilmember Willmus stated that with the need for MDR-type projects or de- <br /> velopments in the community, he would look to change this zoning to guide it <br /> MDR. <br /> Councilmember McGehee agreed to consideration of MDR as a frequent request <br /> from the community in providing that type of product; and in consideration of a <br /> better fit for MDR versus HDR given the city's investment in the boardwalk and <br /> Nature Center. <br /> Councilmember Etten agreed that he was concerned with impacts to the Nature <br /> Center with HDR designation and therefore supported MDR designation. <br /> Councilmember Willmus spoke in support of MDR as a better fit with the project <br /> to the immediate east. <br /> Without objection, Mayor Roe indicated that the council directed staff to include <br /> re-designation of this site to MDR as part of the comprehensive plan process. <br />
