City Council Minutes Page 5 <br /> November 17,2014 <br /> Mr. Rohlf disagreed with staffs comments about access being an issue for car lot <br /> sites. He stated visibility is an issue but that car lots are a destination stop. Mr. Rohlf <br /> stated he would like to verify that Lot 4,Block 1, of Mississippi Ridge Second <br /> Addition still remains in a Planned Unit Development (PUD) as a commercial lot. <br /> Mr. Barnhart stated the city is not proposing to rezone any lots that are currently <br /> zoned as a PUD. <br /> Mr. Rohlf further noted an item on a future Planning Commission agenda to add Lot <br /> 4,Block 1, to an official map as a road. He stated this process will make the lot <br /> unsellable to anyone and felt this would be considered inverse condemnation. He <br /> stated he would like to extend an offer to discuss this matter with Council before the <br /> Planning Commission meeting. <br /> The mayor and city attorney noted this item would come to the Council after it is <br /> reviewed by the Planning Commission. <br /> Mr. Rohlf suggested a negotiation for sale of the property to the city. <br /> Mr. Rohlf stated having high density residential along the Mississippi River doesn't <br /> seem like a good fit for the Wild and Scenic Designation due to the scenic <br /> designation rule about seeing roof tops from the river. <br /> Mayor Dietz closed the public hearing. <br /> Councilmember Motin stated he didn't see trucking companies incorporated as any <br /> of the uses. <br /> Mr. Barnhart stated new uses weren't added to the district. He noted current trucking <br /> companies are governed by their own PUD and if a company wanted to expand,they <br /> would need to come back to Council via the conditional use permit process. <br /> Councilmember Motin noted Morrell Trucking Company has indicated they may <br /> want to purchase property currently under city ownership. He stated trucking isn't <br /> included as a use in this district <br /> Attorney Beck stated the most likely process would be for them to rezone the land <br /> into a PUD from its subzone in the Twin Lakes District. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard expressed concern for the number of non-conforming <br /> businesses that would be created by this ordinance amendment. He noted business <br /> community concerns about rezoning this area. He stated there should be further <br /> discussion on the points where staff and the Planning Commission don't agree. <br /> P O w E R E U 9 1 <br /> 1`4 U <br />
