Planning Commission MinL ~s Page 5 3) The increased traffic would result in an upgrading of Roselawn to a major through street. 4) The size of the proposed supermarket is much too large for the area. 5) The rezoning would eliminate the buffer area now zoned B-1. Mr. Honchell indicated the County has plans to upgrade Roselawn, but that the street will probably retain its residential character. Moeller indicated that only one-third of the land needs to be rezoned to allow the store on the site. Johnson indicated that she felt the scale of the development was too large for this area. Dressler indicated she felt there was not sufficient justification to change the comprehensive plan. DeBenedet indicated the R-1 parcel will never be used for residential, and that he would prefer one unified development on the site, as opposed to three separate developments. Berry indicated that two-thirds of the land is already properly zoned, so that she was inclined to support the application. Matson indicated the proposal presents a dilemma because of the neighborhood concerns. He indicated the corner is already a commercial corner, and that the B-2 and B-3 parcels could already support a commercial development. He indicated that Knowlan's has a history on Lexington and that there were no problems with the store on County Road Bo He suggested the next proposal may be less desirable than Knowlan's proposal. Moeller indicated he is not comfortable with the scale of the project, but he supports the efficient land use of the proposal. Wiski indicated he would like to see the fragments of the properties be developed, but is concerned with retaining the B-1 transition zone. He also wants to protect the possible street through the deep lots to the south. He is also concerned with the scale of the project.
