Reports Councilman Marks reported a telephone call from Gordon Hedlund- in which he reiterated his objections to the Council' s refusal to • classify an Insty Print shop as a permi.tted commercial use in the City Ordinance where print shops are now classified only as a light .industrial use. The Councilman reported he had told Mr. Hedlund he felt ,all legal requirements including a hearing before the Planning Commission has been met regarding his proposal and since the Council had refused to follow the recommendations from the Commission regarding the matter, it would not be productive to pursue the matter further. Mr. Soth reported Mr. Hedlund' s attorney had contacted him regarding the matter -arid had been advised the PUD ordinance will have to be amended to allow the proposed use since the Council had clearly indicated it does not want the permitted ' service office classification expanded into retail or commercial. He said he had also suggested . in the interest of clarity it might be helpful for any further requests from Mr. Hedlund be written by his counsel. The Mayor expanded on the memorandum which had been provided Council members regarding the possible development of .low income housing being developed on the two problem sites . owned by the Johnson Florists and Gordon Hedlund, which might result in a .better housing mix for the City which may be a .requirement for financing of the proposed senior- housing on .Kenzie Terrace. Mr: Fornell said the deadline for applying for HUD funding is about the end of February. He also estimated if the senior housing project goes through, .the City could realize up to $80.,000 in tax revenues under a tax increment -financing program.
