n~1INUTCs <br />CITY COG`NCIL <br />ArI2IL za, zooa <br />Fahey felt that the City had a valid basis for changing the B-W Zoning <br />District. He also noted that a lot of information has been submitted by the <br />applicant relative to the soil conditions of the property. From that information, <br />it appears the soils on the south end of the property are similar to those in Ryan <br />Industrial Park. Given these soil conditions, Fahey stated that he was not in <br />favor of rezoning the property in a way that places a false expectation on the <br />type of development that can occur ou the property. <br />Scalze pointed out that the southern end of the property may be a good <br />location for a storm water pond. She noted that the entire roof cannot be <br />covered with roofs and parking lot. <br />Gary Germanson, representing Carl Johnson, noted that the Knox building is <br />located on a finger of good soils. Germanson described in detail the soil <br />borings that have been done on the site as well as the elevations of the site. <br />Gennanson indicated that from this information it appears that there is organic <br />material to a depth of 60 to SO feet on the southern end of the property. Carl <br />Johnson also pointed out that the 1992 geological map shows the entire site as <br />containing organic material. <br />Fahey pointed out that from the concept plan submitted by Carl Johnson, he <br />would be open to higher valued development on the front of the site and the <br />location of the Drywall Supply business at the back. Fahey felt given the soil <br />conditions it was unrealistic to expect higher valued development on the entire <br />site. Fahey stated that he would favor an interim use agreement that would <br />allow Drywall Supply's use of the back of the property as proposed by Mr. <br />Johnson. <br />Carl Johnson pointed out that he is proposing a higher end development on the <br />front of the site and indicated that as owner of the property it was in his best <br />interests to maximize the use of this property. <br />Fahey indicated that he would like to see progress on the redevelopment of the <br />front of the property. He did not want to see Drywall Supply locate on the <br />bacl: of the site and no progress made on the redevelopment of the front. <br />Therefore, an interim use agreement tied to some sort of timetable for the <br />redevelopment on the front would be an option to consider. <br />Scalze pointed out that when the front of the site redevelops, parking area for <br />those buildings could be located at the bacl: on poorer soils. This would <br />maximize the use of the front property. <br />Montour questioned Che access to the back of the site that Nlr. Johnson shows <br />located between two buildings on the tronC. Johnson suggested that there was <br />12 <br />
