MINUTES • Planning Commission October 13, 1988 Country Drive The City Planner reported that last evening the City Council met with the property owners in the Country Drive area to discuss the proposal to lower Country Drive. The estimated cost of the project is $1,090,000. Previously, the Council had a cost estimate for upgrading of Country Drive by overlay and curb and gutter at $420,000: Therefore, it will cost approximately $600,000 additional to lower the road. DeLonais reported that the City's Economic Development Committee has ordered a marketing analysis of the property. DeLonais also reported that nothing will be done with Country Drive until there is a developer found for the property. If that developer wants to lower the road, then it may be done. However, a developer may be found who does not want the road lowered. The Planner reported that the Council feels that Tax Increment Financing may help pay the additional cost of lowering the road. If the road is not lowered, there would be more TIF money available for a development project. DeLonais reported that the City was informed that Tony Fasciana is opposed to the lowering of Country Drive. DeLonais also reported that Mayor Fahey and Councilwoman Scalze have indicated that they do not want to condemn any land as part of this project. Building The City Planner reported that he has been studying the effect of the 35% Coverage building coverage restriction contained in the IP District on existing Restriction development within the City. The Planner reported that he has determined that with parking requirements and landscaping requirements, most uses would only be allowed to build up to 30% to 35% lot coverage. However, since a warehousing use would require less parking, a 40 to 45% lot coverage would be allowed. The Planner reported that when he has a final copy of his report done, he will send the Planning Commission members a copy. Resignations Costa noted the City's receipt of resignations from Jon Pope and Tom Perlinger. Adjourn Davison recommended the meeting be adjourned. Motion seconded by Herkenhoff. Motion carried 5 - 0. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:17 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Kathy G1 zer Recording Secretary Page 10
