Ayes (5) Blesener~, Fahey, Scalze, Collova, LaValle. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. This r•esolution appear•s in Resolution Book No. 20, Pages 273 and 274. Countr•y Fahey r•epor•ted that at the last Council meeting the Council authorized Dr•ive the City Attor•ney to pr~epar•e an or•dinance placing a 6-month development Relocation morator•ium on the Countr~y Dr~ive area to give the Council and Economic Development Committee time to study the possibilities of r•ezoning the Agenda ar•ea to IP Distr•ict to attr~act higher• quality development and to study Item No. 6 the r•elocation of Countr•y Dr•ive to give proper•ties in the ar~ea better• fr•eeway visibility. Fahey noted that IP Distr•ict would pr•eclude steel buildings as is being proposed by John Lar•sen of Bwana Archer•y. Fahey commented that if there ar•e good soils in the Countr•y Dr•ive area that will suppor•t higher• quality buildings, it was his feeling that the area should be r~ezoned to IP Distr•ict similar• to what the Council did in the Centerville Road ar~ea. Fahey noted the poor~er soils in the ar•ea of Ryan Industr•ial Par•k which could not support heavy buildings. Jim Bur•ton, Best Auto, r~epor•ted that his proper•ty had poor• soils and pylings would have been necessar•y to suppor~t other• than a steel building. John Lar•sen disagr•eed with the Council that a steel building cannot be an attr•active building. Lar•sen pointed out that there are poor• soils in the ar•ea as well as a high water• table which would r•equir~e pylings for• a heavy building. Lar•sen asked what the Council expected to gain by r•ezoning the property. Larsen felt a r•ezoning would make the pr•oper•ty too expensive to develop. Blesener• r•eplied that the Council would like to deter•mine soil conditions in the ar•ea as par•t of the cr•iter•ia to be consider~ed in whether~ or• not to r•ezone the ar~ea. Fahey agr~eed that the Council may deter•mine that due to soil conditions steel buildings ar•e appr•opr•iate. Fahey r•eported that the City Engineer~ and City Planner will be dir~ected Page -4-
