MINUTES Planning Commission June 9, 1988 Boosalis Proposal (Cont.) The City Planner outlined the numerous meetings and workshop which were held with the Iona Lane residents and the fact that the plan before the Commission is a result of those meetings. Boosalis pointed out that the Planning Commission recommended a development plan be put together for the property to the east, to which the City Council agreed, and the plan before the Commission this evening is a result of many meetings and redrawings. Boosalis felt the City Council was comfortable with this plan. Boosalis reported that the parcel he is requesting be rezoned to R -1 is the only one of the 4 B -3 parcels on Council Road C which he controls. DeLonais asked the effect of the commercial development on the Townsley property. Boosalis showed a cross - section of the area showing the Townsley property and the proposed shopping center. Boosalis described the 50 foot setback proposed and the Council requirement for a fence at the 25 foot mark of the setback with requirement for planting of pine trees. Boosalis also reported that there would be a 3 to 4 foot high berm on the south side of the fence. Pine trees would be planted on top of the berm. Boosalis reported that the Iona Lane residents are happy with the residential development proposed. The City Planner agreed that Iona Lane was satisfied with the exception of Mr. Townsley who would prefer no development of the property. The Planner stated that the only way a reasonable single - family neighborhood will develop along the proposed new street is to have the property along the street single - family. However, the City Attorney is of the opinion that the issues need to be investigated before action is taken to rezone the B -3 properties not under the control of Boosalis. The Planner stated that he is encouraging the Commission to rezone the back portion of the B -3 lot Boosalis owns to R -1 since this will start to implement the residential plan that has been developed for the area. However, the Planner felt it more prudent to wait to act on the rezoning of the other 3 B -3 properties. Davison stated that he was not willing to say that the B -3 properties could not have access to the proposed road. The City Planner reported that the City has not determined how the road will be paid for, and it may be possible that there will be no need to assess for the road. If the B -3 properties are not assessed, the City can deny access, but this doesn't accomplish the City's goal because there will be B -3 property adjacent to a residential street. The Planner reported that the City wants R -1 property abutting the street and it is the City who is requiring the street. Page 8
