MINUTES City Council April 27, 1988 Boosalis Scalze felt that the pr•oper•ty along Rice Str~eet should only be r•ezoned CUP B-3 to a depth of 129 feet which would allow R-1 zoning to remain behind (Cont.) the Townsley pr•operty. Boosalis noted that the shopping center will be about 2 to 3 feet lower than the cur•r•ent elevation of the proper•ty. This along with the scr•eening and fencing pr~oposed would minimize the impact of the shopping center• on Iona Lane. Blesener• agr•eed that something should be done to pr~otect the Townsley pr~operty. Blesener• also stated that he would not vote for~ an upzoning of the R-1 pr•operty to the east, but would not be opposed to development along Rice Str~eet pr•ior~ to development of the easter•n portion of the pr~oper•ty. Blesener• stated that he feels D-3 is a pr•oper~ use of the Rice Str•eet proper•ty. Blesener• also agr~eed that access for• the pr•oper~ty to the east should come fr•om County Road C. Fahey felt that in r~etur~n to r•ezoning R-1 pr~oper~ty along Rice Str•eet to B-3, the City should get a fu11Y platted and developed r•esidential subdivision of the pr~oper~ty to the east. Boosalis stated that he had no pr~oblem with developing the proper•ty to the east as R-1, however•, noted that some assistance will be necessary to get single-family to wor~k in this ar•ea. [~oosalis asked the Council's feeling for• pr•oviding this assistance. Scalze felt it in the best inter•est of the City to see the entir•e par•cel developed, but noted that Boosalis will need owner~ship of a couple of more lots on County Road C. Collova pointed out that the pur~pose of Tax Incr•ement Financinq is to pr•ovide assistance to a pr~oject that could not go for•war•d without such assistance. Blesener~ stated that he would be in favor~ of TIF to get the easter•n por•tion of the pr•oper•ty developed as R-1. Collova and LaValle agreed.- LaValle asked if the nor•ther•n end of the pr~oposed str~ip center• could be br•ick to enhance the view from the Townsley proper~ty. Boosalis r~eplied that anything is possible and this could be par•t of TIF assistance, however~, pointed out that the ar~ea will be fenced and scr~eened. Blesener asked if the setback on the north could be incr~eased or~ the bui 1 di ng shor•tened up to pr•ovi de mor•e than 40 feet separ•ation fr•om the Townsley pr•oper~ty. Blesener• pointed out the 100 foot buffer• zone r•equir•ed of the apartments on the nor•th of Iona Lane. 6oosalis pointed out that the apar•tments ar•e 3-stor•ies in height while his center would be only 1 stor~y.
