<br />City Council Meeting <br />May 15,1995 <br /> <br />Page 8 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Council member Scheel indicated that she is aware of several communities that <br />have built shopping malls next to residential areas. She stated that this is not an <br />unusual case. She further indicated that according to a covenant for the <br />Brentwood area dated 1981 , Outlot A was not proposed for residential <br />development. <br /> <br />Councilmember Farber spoke of the concern regarding the impact traffic would <br />have in the Brentwood area if the property were rezoned for commercial use. <br />Councilmember Farber indicated that he did not feel that area warranted <br />commercial development. He indicated he was opposed to the request. <br /> <br />Council member Holmgren spoke about the decision of the Council to not want <br />commercial development to the west of the City due to the Business Park and <br />further indicated that there is no sewer and water to the east of the City along <br />Highway 10. He indicated this leaves only Highway 169 for commercial <br />'development at the present time. He stated he felt this issue should go back to <br />the Planning Commission for review and further stated that he was not convinced <br />. that Outlot A should only be developed as residential property. <br /> <br />Mayor Duitsman stated that he felt commercial development could go up to <br />197th Avenue. He indicated that he is concerned about protecting the residents <br />in the area with some type of a buffer from the commercial development. He <br />further indicated he did not feel that Outlot A was a residential piece of property. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Councilmember Dietz voiced his support for Planning Commission members and <br />their review of this proposal. He indicated that he felt the City would also be <br />receiving a request from developers on the east side of Highway 169 to extend <br />commercial development up to 197th Avenue. He further stated that he felt <br />Outlot A was conducive to commercial development, however. he indicated <br />that he disagreed with the proposed concept for a big box retailer in that area. <br />Council member Dietz stated that Elk Park Valu Center is surrounded by two major <br />roads whereas this property is surrounded only by one major road and residential <br />property. He stated that because of that, he would like to see the developer <br />submit a revised, down-sized concept. He stated that commercial development <br />will go north of 193rd A venue in this area as the City has a commercial site next to <br />Holt Avenue that it plans to sell in the future. Council member Dietz stated that <br />there must be some type of buffer between large commercial development and <br />residential areas. <br /> <br />The City Council discussed the size of commercial building that should be <br />proposed for Outlot A. After much discussion, it was decided that there would be <br />no need for the developer to return to the Planning Commission with new plans. <br />However, the developer should submit revised plans to the City Council for <br />review. <br /> <br />COUNCILMEMBER SCHEEL MOVED TO CONTINUE ITEMS 8.5.
