Morcon requests a land use amendment and rezoning for Outiot A of Brentwood and Lots 3 and 4, Block 3 Ridgewood East 3 Addition in order to a~ow commercial development. Ms. McPherson described the surrotmding land uses and reviewed the history of previous requests by the property owner for land use change and rezoning of the property in 1994 and 1995. She explained that the 1997 Strategic Plan approved by the City Cottncil identified Outlot A as a potential in&tstrial site, but rezoning of the property was not pursued. Ms. McPherson stated that during the current review process to update the City's Comprehensive Plan, a number of residents at Public Meeting #3 expressed the opinion that Oudot A would be appropriate for some type of commercial development. St'off recommends approval of the land use amendment and rezoning based on the fact that conditions have changed to warrant a change in the land use and there are no other commercial opportumties along the Highway 169 corridor of substantial size to adequately compete with adjacent surrounding communities' commercial sites. Chair Pederson opened the public hearing. R0n Peterson, 11625 197th Avenue, stated that the residents of Brentwood would like the area to remain as a single-family residential neighborhood. He stated that, in going through the Brentwood plat file at City, Hall, a report by a previous planner, Gary Schmitz, indicated that there are few details available regarding the future use of Oudot A. He stated that he feels the initial intent of Oudot A was residential. Nh'. Peterson cited information from the restrictive covenants for the Brenrwood subdivision and stated that he feels all the covenants also apply to Oudot A. Gary Kleis, 19815 Irving Avenue, stated that he has lived within the covenants and feels that the developer of Oudot A also needs to comply with them. Mike Demarre, 19484 Hok Street, stated that he did not feel more commercial property- is needed in ELk River, since there are commercial buildings that are vacant. Dan Schwark, 19785 Irving Avenue, expressed concern with the traffic situation at the 197th and Highway 169 intersection.
