He feels it should be used for <br /> 9 residential purposes . <br /> 10 <br /> 11 The City Manager advised that locations for holding ponds are <br /> 12 still needed and this area could be considered. He felt this <br /> 13 may be very costly for the City but one is needed in the area. <br /> 14 <br /> 15 Commissioner Werenicz again stated his concern with the <br /> 16 proposed berming in that he is not sure it will be effective <br /> 17 nor successful . The City Manager suggested that fencing could <br /> 18 be added to the berming although it would require maintenance. <br /> 19 <br /> 20 Chairperson Faust stated he does not view a berm as a barrier <br /> 21 but rather an abatement of sound and site lines . <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Motion by Murphy, second by Franzese that the Planning <br /> 24 Commission recommend to the City Council that under Concept D <br /> 25 the most appropriate land use of the two lots in question <br /> 26 would be single family residential development , R-1.. <br /> 27 <br /> 28 It was noted that BRW had recommended R=1 zoning after <br /> 29 consulting with the South End Task Force. This zoning met the <br /> 30 criteria outlined which were the "highest and best use" ; "most <br /> 31 appropriate use" ; "most probable use" ; and, "most profitable <br /> 32 use. " Members of the Planning Commission added three more <br /> 33 criteria.
