Page 3 e Joint Meeting Minutes March 28. 1988 In discussion of Mr. Fredrickson's letter. the group acknowledged that the one housing unit per ten acres was not a unanimous recommendation. but a majority recommendation. Issues regarding this zone include: proximity to other subdivided property; establishing a starting time in the future for the creation of such a zone; avoiding premature extension of municipal services; and providing a mix of housing opportunities in the community. The group took a ten minute break at this time. Bob Wuornos discussed the components of the existing commercial districts and the plan for extension of commercial activities. Discussion took place on the type of development that was appropriate. along East Main Street and along the area of Gates Avenue between Freport Avenue and Main Street. The existing zone calls for residential development with some multi-family residential. and the proposed plan calls for commercial activity. There was no consensus reached to adjust the proposal. Another area of discussion was the commercial activity on north Highway 169 near the Deerfield 3rd northern intersection. The group concurred that this area is best suited for commercial activity and that the area in question should develop as a planned unit development according to the proposed land use map for 1988. e Highway 10 commercial activities. expansion of the Central Business District to the west. and future neighborhood convenient shops throughout the community were discussed.
