Planning Commission Meeting Minutes April 13, 1994 Member Rengel stated the Planning Commission's task is to look at the overall city and find sites for redevelopment given the association with the adjacent land uses and with the Comprehensive Plan policies. He expressed concern with the Britz and Booth property opposition to the site. He noted that, if only the Kehr project were eventually approved, it would look incongruent. Member Harms stated she did not agree with the Comprehensive Plan changes as proposed. Members Thomas and Sandstrom asked for clarification regarding the previous approval on March 9, 1994, as recommended by the Planning Commission to the City Council. Dennis Welsch and John Shardlow clarified the motion of March 9, 1994. John Shardlow stated that the traffic on County Road C and on Dale Street would continue to grow in the future. He compared this project to a possible single-family development of 10 to 12 lots and the impact that it might create. Member Sandstrom stated that he was opposed to the project because it would create an island project and expressed concern about the Booth property . Member Thomas stated that Booth could only sell the property for medium density development with certain conditions including access from adjoining property. There is a duplex which will remain for the foreseeable future adjacent to his site. A general discussion among the Commission members ensued regarding the future uses of the Booth, Britz, and Borgstrom properties. MOTION: Member Wall moved to recommend amending the Comprehensive Plan east of the AI Kehr project (on the Borgstrom, Britz, Booth, and Salverda properties) from low density residential to medium density residential from AI Kehr's project to Dale Street. The motion failed for lack of a second. 8
