SUBDIVISION The City Planner indicated that he will be presenting some additional ORDINANCE Subdivision Ordinance amendments to the Planning Commission for their consideration relative to the processing of new plats. POTENTIAL The Council reviewed a listing of potential uses of the City's Noel Drive USES Or property that was prepared by City staff. It was noted that the NOEL DRIVE feasibility of the uses included on the listing has not been evaluated. PROPERTY In reviewing the listing, the Council did not identify any uses with a strong potential. Blesener noted that the use of overflow parking for the City Center could still be an option if the Watershed develops the property through a shared parking arrangement. Blesener asked about the outdoor storage of pick-up trucks under the Public Zoning District. The City Administrator indicated that outdoor storage of vehicles is a permitted accessory use. Blesener indicated that if the Watershed develops the property, he did not want to see trucks sitting outside after hours and on the weekends. Fahey noted that at this point the City is waiting to hear if the Watershed Board is interested in the property. Fahey suggested that, if so, the City Planner should then evaluate the Watershed's development concept for this site. The Administrator reported that Cliff Aichinger asked about the price for the property. The Administrator suggested the price be based on a market value appraisal of the site. Fahey noted that the development of the property by a governmental agency would result in no tax revenue from the development. The property is currently zoned Public, therefore, does not generate tax revenue at it currently sits. 2004 The City Administrator reviewed the results of the Twin Lake area survey IMPROVEMENTS recently sent to property owners in the area relative to road and watermain improvements.
