MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 10, 1991 Pedersen asked if the property could be designated open space, but used as single - family. Pedersen was concerned that anyone purchasing a property in the future be made aware of the long -term use the City establishes for that area. RECESS MINUTES The Planner reported that the property could be designated as open space on the land use plan, however, prospective buyers will typically ask the zoning of a property, and not what the Comprehensive Land Use Plan says. The Planner asked for time to research the various options, however, noted that if the intent is for the area to remain single- family, the PUD zoning would be the best way to handle it. If the intent is for a long -term use as open space, the Planner needed to research this further. Drabik asked about the County's plans for the road. The City Planner reported that if the County needs additional right -of -way from the south, the County will have to buy the properties, and the property owners would be compensated at fair market value. Pedersen again stated that he would like the long -term use as open space. Herkenhoff stated that he had concern for the property owners. Garske stated that he had no problem with the residents remaining in their homes, but would not support any new construction. Garske stated that he had no objection to the rebuilding of existing homes in the area if they qualify under the City's existing codes. After further discussion, it was the consensus of the Commission that the long -range use of the area should be open space. The Commission requested that the City Planner come back with alternatives for achieving that goal. At this point in the meeting, 8:20 P.M., the Commission took a short recess. The meeting reconvened at 8:25 P.M. There being no corrections to the September 12th minutes, they stood approved as read. Page 10
