Approve Minutes of October 26, 2009 Regular Meeting <br />Johnson moved, Ihlan seconded, approval of the minutes of the October 26, 2009 <br />Regular Meeting as amended. <br />Corrections• <br />• Page 13, Lines 1- 3 (Klausing) <br />Strike the entire paragraph <br />• Page 21 Lines 7 -16 (Klausing) <br />Revise language as follows: <br />Mayor Klausing spoke in support of the motion, based on his experience at the <br />Planning Commission level, as well as that on the City Council; opining that <br />this action was supportive of the neighborhood as a whole, both residential <br />and commercial property owners. ~^•~^r Tr'^•,°;~,. ~^'°a *~,^* +i.° .. ~°--~„ <br />~ ° <br />° ° ° ° ° ° ° <br />[Mayor Klausing noted that single family <br />homes fronting busy streets, particularly when adjacent to commercial <br />properties, may be less desirable for residential use; and that the result is <br />that such residential properties often are not well-maintained and can nega- <br />tively affect surrounding neighborhoods. Mayor Klausing further noted <br />that on the other hand, such locations are very desirable as commercial <br />properties and rezoning to commercial allows for new construction that can <br />actually benefit surrounding neighborhoods.) Mayor Klausing opined that <br />B-3 zoning designation seemed more consistent with that area; and further <br />opined that redevelopment of commercial businesses in that area would prove <br />to be an asset to the community, as well as the neighborhood, as long as the <br />City properly addressed traffic issues and concerns. <br />Roll Call <br />Ayes: Roe; Johnson; Ihlan; and Klausing. <br />Nays: None. <br />7.
