. PLANNING COMMISSION Page 3 July 15, 1998 Brasaemle expressed concern in regards to the tax implications that the people, whose property is now zoned residential, would be faced with if their zoning was changed to business use. The property tax would be based on a higher valued commercial use rather than a lower valued residential use. Miller suggested safeguarding the current residential tax base along the Highway 10 corridor. This would allow the City to rezone the property for its eventual sale and development as business or commercial. Peterson suggested establishing a 285 feet plus-or-minus zone on either side of Highway 10 as the commercial corridor. The corridor would extend from the east end of Highway 10 to the west end of Highway 10, he added. Miller expressed concern in regards to commercial developments south of County Road 112, especially with the resistance that is being shown to the theater development. A lengthy discussion ensued in which the Planning Commission Members drew in their proposed 285 foot setback on the north and south side of Highway 10, going the full 110 east/west length of the highway, using the current Comprehensive Land Use Map for the basis of their designation proposals. Brasaemle suggested that the last piece of residential property next to the Everest triangular shaped property needed to be included in the Highway 10 corridor commercial designation. He also recommended that Town's Edge Terrace be designated Industrial, Light Industrial/Warehouse, or Mixed-Use PUD. Peterson suggested designating the Town's Edge Terrace property as HC/IND PUD. The rest of the Commission agreed with the designation of HC/IND PUD for the Town's Edge Terrace property. B. Planning Commission Vacancy and Terms (Verbal Report) Jopke told the Commission that City staff had received, and subsequently lost, a list of potential Commission candidates that would be added to the list that had already been discussed. In light of this fact, the selection of a candidate would have to be tabled in order to give City staff the time it needs to locate the missing list and add these names to the list of candidates being considered by the City to fill the vacancy on the planning Commission. Obert suggested that all applicants that are considered for the vacancy should be interviewed by the Planning Commission, including Liaison Koopmeiners, prior to selection by the Mayor and approval of the selection by City Council. The Commission unanimously agreed with Obert's suggestion.
