Planning Commission Minutes October 5, 1983 -3- Wiski suggested if the future nursing wing were removed from the proposal, this 5-6 acres of land could be used for the passive park. wiski indicated the configuration of the site is difficult because of bad access from County Road D and Arthur. He indicated all parking should be off D, rather than building a new parking lot west of the school building. wiski suggested the conversion of the school building is appropriate, but the development should be limited to that which can be supported by access and parking to the north. wiski also suggested it is encumbent on the City to provide access from the west before the development of the public park for active use. Dressler indicated the Commission has not received sufficient information from the applicant to allow an informed decision. She suggested the Commission needs time to study the specific passive park proposal of the applicant. Berry indicated she has concerns about activity generated by the elderly care facility. She would like more information on traffic generation and parking needs before she makes a decision on the application. Johnson indicated the applicant has not provided sufficient information to enable a decision to be made. She felt she could not vote on a proposal received just before the meeting. Rukavina indicated he felt significant progress had been made. However, there are elements of the proposal which have not been dealt with. The applicant needs to address parking, traffic, and land use issues in detail. Rukavina indicated it would be a disservice to take action on the applica- tion without further examination of the proposal. wiski suggested the City should provide the applicant with some direction to aid them in providing sufficient information on their proposal.
