MINUTES Planning Commission April 14, 1988 Boosalis lowered 2 or 3 feet. Boosalis also pointed out that there would be no Development access to the back of the shopping center from the northern edge of (Cont.) the center. Boosalis reported that their plans are to some day develop the back portion of the property residentially. They have two property owners on County Road C interested in selling their property. However, there are no plans for the development of this area at this time and Boosalis reported that they were prepared to sit on the property until they were able to acquire additional property on County Road C. DeLonais asked if there would be a road developed on the north side of the proposed shopping center to access the back property. Booslis replied that there would be no access to the back property from Rice Street, and the only access to this area would come from County Road C. Boosalis stated that it does not make sense to have residential development access directly to Rice Street. The City Planner reported that this could be controlled by PUD Agreement. Any amendment to the PUD Agreement would require public hearings. Davison stated that he was not in favor of the upzoning of any property. Davison felt a mistake was made when access to this area was not provided through the Schrier development. Davison did not feel that if the property on Rice Street was rezoned B -3 that the property to the east would ever develop as R -1. Herkenhoff asked how much frontage on Rice Street Boosalis would have in total. Boosalis replied that the two shopping centers would have 600 feet of frontage. Tim Townsley, resident of Iona Lane, pointed out that a portion of this property is zoned R -1 and the insurance office to the north is zoned R -1 as well. Costa asked if Boosalis has purchased the property. Boosalis replied that the property is under purchase agreement and the purchase is contingent upon a number of factors, one of which is the rezoning. Davison again stated that if the frontage on Rice is rezoned to B -3, the R -1 property to the east will never develop as R -1. Herkenhoff felt the property could be developed as R -1 with access from County Road C. Herkenhoff pointed out that the people in the area want to see this property developed as R -1. Davison pointed out that B -3 parcels on County Road C would have to be purchased to provide access to the R -1 property. It will cost a lot of money to purchase this property. Page 5
