Chair Klausing asked ivhat options would occur for the land in the future. Mr. Miller recommended tabling the issue until property owners meet to resolve issues. Truck traffic is minimal. Can trucking remain and be compatible? Sean Regan said he liked the City's effort to plan for the future. The scenario 4 Fruehoff and Masa buildings (both of which Mr. Regan owns) are candidates for redevelopment. Traffic issues will be addressed in the AUAR. The staff recommendation scenario of multi-tech, high tech/flex, is in demand, but is the low value option. Mr. Regan asked for a retail scenario to be studied as well as the staff suggestions. How could a further discussion opportunity be created? The property owners may want to be heard. There are numerous financial issues that should be evaluated — especially the impact on property owners. Patricia Johnson, 2986 Mildred Drive, noted that Twin Lakes is an evolving process, not a wholesale change. An example of good planning was the results at Centre Pointe, after many years of no activity. She urged the Commission to more forward, creative taY base. Member Mulder noted that the City is not seizing land but planning for the future use of the land. He said the plan provides direction, but he does not want big-box retail. The staff recommendations are good, except there may be a need for boutique stores, deli and coffee shops. Chair Klausing noted that planning, moving in a direction, can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Delay by 30 or 60 days may not help. There are opportunities for input as the study process proceeds. Members Rhody and Olson felt that tabling the item would not help the process. Motion: Member Klausing moved, second by Member Rhody, to adopt Resolution No. 3232 (Revising the Text and Land Use Map Designations of the E�sting Plan adopted in 1994, as amended, by incorporating the Twin Lakes Business Park Master Plan Renewal Strategy of 2000 with the staff land use scenario of December 13, 2000 and recommended further study of retail options within the southeast section of the business park, subject to an AUAR. Ayes: 5 Nays: o Motion carried.
