MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />NOVEMBER 8, 2001 <br />Roycraft pointed out the lost tax revenue to the City since Knox closed. <br />The Planner pointed out that taxes are still being paid on the property even <br />though it is vacant. <br />Duray agreed that the focus should not be on being too restrictive with the <br />use of the property, but should be on eliminating the outdoor storage use. <br />Barraclough pointed out that they do not make land anymore, and the <br />longer the Knox site sits, the more valuable it becomes. Barraclough <br />stated that he would rather wait for the right development to come along <br />than to jump at the first proposal. <br />Roycraft again suggested that the business community be contacted to <br />determine what is viable. Roycraft suggested senior housing on this site. <br />Wojcik noted that the property is not accessible to services. Roycraft <br />suggested that shuttles could take seniors to and from retail areas. <br />Keis did not feel the Knox area was a good recreational site (bowling alley <br />or theater use). Barraclough stated that long -term he does not see Levitz <br />or the outlet store surviving in this area. <br />Keis stated that he would like to see the area move up via aesthetics and <br />type of architecture used. <br />The Planner indicated that he would put together a report with some <br />definitive options for the Commission's review at its next meeting. <br />PLANNING Keis expressed disappointment in the Commission's lack of involvement <br />COMMISSION'S in the City's purchase of and redeveloping planning for The Venetian Inn <br />ROLE site. Keis felt that this was a major planning issue and that the Planning <br />Commission should be involved. Keis asked the Council for a <br />clarification of the role of the Commission. <br />ADJOURN <br />Wojcik recommended the meeting be adjourned. <br />Motion seconded by Duray. <br />Motion carried 5 — 0. <br />Page 27 <br />
