MINUTES City Council Jan. 25, 1989 Mondor & Blesener stated that it is his position that there is a better use for~ M R M the corner of Centervill e Road and Little Canada Road than the proposal Properties presented by Conoco for a gas station and convenience store. Blesener (Cont.) stated that he would be har~d-pressed to support this type of development in that location. Scalze asked what kind of control the City would have in such a situation. Blesener• pointed out that a Conditional Use Permit would be necessary. Scalze pointed out that a gas station and convenience store are permitted uses in B-3 and the City would have to have good reasons to deny such a request. Scalze asked if a PUD zoning would give the Council more r•ights to deny such a pr•oposal. The City Planner stated that the City may be able to make the case that a gas station was not appropr~iate based on a policy statement that would be par•t of the Comprehensive Plan. Fahey pointed out that the pr•oposal is to rezone to PUD B-3 and felt the City might be hard-pressed to deny the Conoco pr•oposal. The City Planner• pointed out that the PUD would give the City more contr~ol over• per~formance standards. Scalze pointed out that Mr. McNamara is anticipating selling the proper•ty to Conoco. Blesener pointed out that the rezoning was initiated by the City since it was felt the PUD designation would give the City more control. Fahey suggested that the City should work with McNamar•a on the development of this corner, pointing out that perhaps a development study is necessar•y. Blesener• stated that he felt ther~e were better uses for the proper•ty than those proposed by Conoco and stated that he did not think he would suppor•t the Conoco proposal. Fahey stated that his position would depend on the lay-out and entry onto Center•ville Road. Fahey stated that if the access onto Centerville Road wor~ks, he may not have the same concerns he had when the original Conoco pr•oposal was submitted. Fahey also indicated that the use of TIF might be appr•opr•iate on this site and again suggested that mar•ket studies of the pr~oper•ty may be justi fi abl e. Mrs. Scalze introduced the following r•esolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION N0. 89-1-31 - CONTINUING THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE REZOPdING OF THE MONDOR AND M& M PROPERTIES FROM B-3 TO PUD B-3 PENDING A RECOMMENDATION FROP1 THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON THIS MATTER Page -10-
