MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 9, 1999 He pointed out that if the property is rezoned, he would not be able to construct a new building. Mrs. McCumber indicated that if the property is rezoned, semi- trailers will be brought in for storage. Buetow agreed that he would bring in work trailers and store them on the site. The indication was that the trailers would be moved as often as need be to comply with the ordinance. Keis indicated that he would prefer to see the site zoned R -1 given that most of the area is zoned R -1. Mrs. McCumber indicated that their property would be worthless with R -1 zoning given the need to fill the site. Mr. McCumber pointed out that no one will want to pay $250,000 for a single - family lot located on a freeway corner. Knudsen pointed out that the Comp Plan provides the future vision for the area. Knudsen felt that if someone wanted to purchase the site and tear down the existing buildings, then he would prefer to see residential development. Knudsen stated that if the property were vacant, the City would not allow commercial development in the middle of a residential area. Buetow indicated that he is proposing a stucco building that would fit into the residential neighborhood. He would add appropriate landscaping to make the site attractive. Knudsen again pointed out that, in general, the City would not want to put an I -1 pocket within a residential area. The McCumbers indicated that it would take $750,000 to buy out and prepare this property for the residential development of three lots. Montour recommended that the zoning of the I -1 properties at the corner of Edgerton Street and County Road D remain as is at this point in time as there is no need to consider the rezoning of these properties at this time. Motion seconded by Barraclough. Motion carried 3 — 2. Knudsen and Keis voted against. Page 45
