MINUTES CITY COIINCIL SEPTEMBER 22, 1999 Morelan asked if there was a zoning that would allow the Buetow's to redevelop their site with the building they have mentioned. The City Planner suggested that the BW District might be appropriate pointing out that business contractor shops are allowed in BW. The Planner indicated that he is not familiar with all the uses on the McCumber property. However, the mini-warehouse and contractor shops would be allowed in BW. Fahey asked the outdoor storage provisions for the BW District. The Planner reported that they were the same as I-1, that is, would be allowed by Conditional Use Permit. Buetow again pointed out that if they develop a new building on their site, they would not require outdoor storage. LaValle pointed out that there would be an impact on the McCumber property because they have outdoor storage of trucks. McCumber pointed out that the trucks on his property are in and out daily and are not stored on a permanent basis. McCumber noted the comment that the City has spent a lot of money on the Comp Plan, and indicated that he has spent a lot of money on his buildin~ and the preparation of his site. McCumber reported that he does some fabrication for outdoor lighting in his shop, and noted that this is allowed in the I-1 District. McCumber pointed out that the Comp Plan could be changed to reflect the I-1 zoning of the property. LaValle stated that he was not in favor of rezoning this property to either R-1 or R-2. LaValle did not feel it would be economically feasible for these sites to redevelop as residential. He noted that the present use of the McCumber property has existed for the past 22 years, and suggested if a developer comes in with a redevelopment plan for the property, that would be the time to rezone. Pedersen stated that the issue first came up due to the condition of the Buetow property. The question is should the City allow the use of this property to be intensified via construction of a new buildin~, or should the zoning issue be addressed now. Pedersen did not feel the Buetow business should be allowed to continue operating as it is now. Pedersen felt the appearance of the property was poor. Morelan sug~ested that if the property is not rezoned there would be no protection to the City that the industrial use of the property would not be intensified. Morelan asked if the BW zoning would fit the current uses of the McCumber property. Scalze asked about RB zoning. 11
