MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 11, 1996 goals for that area. Knudsen pointed out that nothing the City is presently doing would require Mr. Struntz to do anything. The Planner stated that the proposal is to change the zoning from R -1 to PUD, and single - family development is allowed in both. Mr. Struntz could sell his home and if anyone inquired whether or not single - family was an allowed use in a PUD, the answer would be yes. The PUD zoning would not affect the allowed use of the property or the continued use of the property. Knudsen asked what Struntz's concern was. Knudsen pointed out that Struntz could continue to use his property as single - family and could sell it as such. Struntz felt that the value of the property was being decreased. Knudsen stated that the only change is should someone want to propose a new development on the Struntz property, the City Council would be able review the proposal to ensure it is consistent with the Development Guide. DeLonais pointed out that the PUD zoning provides some flexibility as well. Lee Guerin, reported that his family owns the northeast corner of Rice Street and Little Canada Road. Guerin asked if there was any time limit on the PUD zoning. The Planner replied that the PUD zone would become the permanent zoning of the property. There would be no time limit except if in the future a City Council wanted to rezone the property to something else. Guerin pointed out that the PUD would provide more control to the City. Guerin pointed out that the property is currently zoned B -3. Guerin asked if a development that met B -3 criteria was proposed for the property, if that would be considered by the City. Guerin stated that he wanted to know the City's plans for this corner. Guerin felt at this point it was almost impossible to propose any development for the corner which would please the City. 4 Page 14
