MINi1TES <br />CITY COUNCIL/PLANNING <br />JANUARY 12, 1996 <br />Little Canada Road just west of the freeway. There are <br />currently homes in this area being used as businesses. <br />The Plan suggests the continued commeroial use of this <br />area through the redevelopment of the structures into <br />more suitable buildings. The Planner also indicated <br />that east of Jackson Street along Little Canada Road <br />the Plan shows mid-density residential. There has been <br />some neighborhood opposition to this in the past. The <br />Planning Commission felt this made sense because of the <br />high density residential to the east as well as the <br />size of the property. It could be redeveloped as a <br />townhome site. <br />Fahey asked if it would be better as high-density <br />residential. <br />Scalze felt mid-density residential would be a <br />compromise given the single-family development to the <br />west and the commercial zoning along Little Canada <br />Road. <br />Fahey felt the neighborhood would rather see a townhome <br />development than commercial in that area. <br />Knudsen pointed out that that would support the node <br />concept as well. <br />The Planner pointed out the mobilehome park along <br />Country Drive is zoned PUD as well as I-P. There are <br />also single-family homes on Demont back of Savage which <br />are shown as mid-density. <br />Fahey felt these areas should be left residential, but <br />shown on the land use map as mid-density. <br />Fahey pointed out the area of Viking Drive on the east <br />side of the freeway between Edgerton and Highway 36. <br />Scalze was concerned about targeting the areas along <br />the freeway with low income housing. <br />Fahey pointed out that the other side of the freeway is <br />low density housing. Fahey felt what was good for one <br />side was good for the other. <br />Morelan asked the rational for mid-density housing <br />between Demont and the freeway. <br />8 <br />
