MINUTES City Council April 26, 1989 Boosalis pointed out that the fence would be continued to provide screening for the residential area. Boosalis also stated that there would be some screening on the backs of the residential lots. Fahey pointed out that there are more residential lots proposed under this proposal than the original. Fahey pointed out that originally 13 lots were proposed and that number has now been increased to 16. Scalze also pointed out that originally there was a strip of green area that included landscaping between the residential area and retail area. The Planner pointed out that some additional lots have been added since a cul -de -sac is now being proposed rather than a through street. The Planner stated that he would prefer to see some landscaping along the fence. The Planner pointed out that the fence also acts as a noise barrier which land- scaping would not provide. Fahey asked if a liquor establishment would be sought for the retail center, although Fahey commented that no liquor license has been applied for. Boosalis replied that he would have to sell the residential lots, therefore, would have to provide screening to make the lots marketable. Scalze asked if a park charge has been determined for this development. The City Clerk replied that the park charge has not been calculated. The Clerk then asked when the street would be developed. Boosalis replied that that remains to be seen, pointing out that there are financial shortfalls in the project. Boosalis pointed out that Tax Increment Financing had been discussed for this project for the commercial area in order to assist the residential area. Scalze stated that the City takes the position that the commercial and residential portions of the development must go in at the same time. Boosalis replied that he is prepared to do this, depending on what can be worked out financially. Fahey stated that other than TIF assistance, he was not prepared to have additional City funds in the project. Blesener stated that if the project is acceptable, Boosalis and the City Planner will have to run through the TIF numbers to see if the project will work. Boosalis commented that he is unsure that the project will work even with TIF assistance. Fahey commented that the Council will have to wait for a report from the City Planner. Fahey also pointed out that the City has the option to assess the properties along County Road C which would be benefited by the street since the back half of those lots could then be divided.
