MINUTES City Council Apr•il 27, 1988 Boosalis Townsley asked if the shopping center~ could be angled so that only a CUP por•tion of it encr•oaches on the R-1 pr•oper~ty. However•, Townsley (Cont.) noted that the Iona Lane neighbor•hood is not in favor~ of par•king behind the shopping center•. Collova felt angling the building would for•ce additional par•king in the back. Bill Souchy, County Road C r~esident, r~epor~ted that Boosalis had indicated to them that they wer~e consider~ing apar•tment development on the easter•n por~tion of their pr•oper•ty. Fahey noted that the Council has made it clear~ that it is not in favor• of upzoning this property. The City has no remaining vacant land that i s zoned for• apar~tments. Scalze pointed out that the shopping center~ could be downsized and par~king r~equir•ements met and be able to be developed within a 129 foot depth fr•om Rice Str•eet. Boosalis suggested that he explor~e var•ious options with the City Planner. Fahey agr•eed that this was a good idea and pointed out that the Council is not clear• on the size buffer• fr~om the nor~th that would be acceptable, but noted that the size should be wider• than the 40 feet proposed. Fahey al so noted that ther•e have been no contr~ar•y comments on the par~t of the Council with r•egar•d to use of Tax Incr~ement Financing. Don Pier•ce, Iona Lane resident, pointed out that Boosalis indicated to the Planning Commission that they wer•e willing to sit on the pr~oper~ty to the east and not devel op i t r~i ght away. However•, they wer•e i nter~ested in developing it with something other than R-1. Blesener• pointed out that this is a subject of negotiation. In or~der for• the Council to r•ezone the front por•tion of pr•oper~ty along Rice Str•eet from R-1 to Q-3, the City will requir•e the pr•oper~ty to the east to be developed as R-1. Boosalis stated that R-1 is feasible with the assistance of TIF. Fahey suggested that Boosalis meet with Tim Townsley to address his concer•ns. Townsley asked when the lighting on the building would be changed. Boosalis replied that the lights have been or•der•ed. Townsley r•epor~ted that the tr~ash on the site has been cleaned up. Nowever•, this pr•oblem was brought up in November•, and Boosalis claims he was never• infor•med of this complaint. Council felt the matter~ should be tabled until the May 25th Council Page -10-
