MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL/PLANNING COMMISSION <br />JANUARY 12, 1996 <br />family, not industrial. <br />Carson suggested additional industrial development may <br />be preferable to a bunch of apartments. <br />Scalze suggested owner-occupied twin homes may be a <br />solution. <br />Fahey suggested the City concentrate on areas where <br />there is a compelling need to change, like the Rice <br />Street area. <br />Scalze indicated this is a hot area since the trees on <br />the industrial property have been taken down. <br />The Planner pointed out that with raw land it is <br />possible to create a buffer between residential and <br />commercial development. <br />Fahey stated he did not support expanding the <br />industrial area into the residential. Fahey said he <br />would hate to give up owner-occupied residential units, <br />and suggested the area remain zoned R-1. If there is <br />need to revisit this issue at a later date and consider <br />a higher density housing, that can be done. <br />Morelan pointed out there is no buffer on that corner <br />now, and it looks like the industrial area is <br />expanding. Morelan stated to him this looked like a <br />qood industrial area. <br />Scalze pointed out there are poor soils in the area <br />which would make industrial development difficult. <br />The Planner indicated it appears there is no consensus <br />to change the area to industrial. Scalze and Fahey <br />agreed. <br />The Planner next reviewed the McCUmber property, which <br />is zoned Industrial, but is surrounding by Residential <br />development. The Planning Commission has indicated the <br />best long-term use of this area would be single-family. <br />It was anticipated that there would be objections from <br />the property owner on this issue. <br />Morelan asked about the properties between Centerville <br />Road and 35E. <br />11 <br />
