. City Council Minutes April 15, 1985 Page Three It was noted that Lot 7 originally was being held or planned for a K-Mart or big discount store. Mr. Griese noted that the area of four buildings in four lots could equal the same square footage as was originally considered in the developers agreement. It was noted that the City Council could place restrictions within a conditional use permit for the development of the proposed four uses. Councilmember Gunkel expressed her opposition to the concept as presented. Councilmember Williams saw no reason to oppose the proposal. Councilmember Engstrom noted that this was different than the original proposal, but maybe the subdivision was necessary and that Goodyear should be authorized by a conditional use permit. Councilmember Schuldt noted that auto repair is acceptable if the City Council retains control over its acceptability. Mayor Hinkle noted that the shopping center must be operated to be a success)and, therefore, the City should allow this proposed development to take place with controls. He did express concern about the proximity of the Guardian Angels complex. With the foregoing statements presented by Councilmembers, Mayor Hinkle advised Mr. Griese that he did now have a consensus of the Council attitude and, therefore, the matter was concluded. 7. George Dietz - Zone Change Request/Public Hearing Mr. Gary Santwirerepresenting Mr. Dietz made a presentation on the proposed PUD proposal east of Dodge Avenue, north of the McDonald restaurant. Mr. Santwire noted that the site consists of approximately 3~ acres, that sewer and water is available at the site. He also read a list of the possible uses allowed in a PUD. He noted that two structures would be located on the south half of the property and that a specially designed building would be proposed for the northeast corner. A retaining wall would be proposed on the north and east sides of the property to avoid tree removal and to buffer the development from the adjoining Elk Hills residents. He noted that the south buildings would intend to house personal services, such as book stores and other compatible uses. Upon questioning Mr. Gary Santwire advised that the northeast building would be between three and four thousand square feet, the southwest building a maximum of six thousand square feet and the southeast building between three thousand and five thousand square feet. At this point Mayor Hinkle noted that this was a public hearing and he opened the meeting for public comments. Mr. Milo Hennemann said there should be a buffer between Elk Hills and any building that might be built. Mr. Earl Hetrick who lives immediately north of the proposed development opposes the PUD and suggested that the land be left as it is. Mr. Jim Tralle Chairman of the Planning Commission questioned the statements made by Mr. Milo Hennemann and Mr. Hetrick. He noted that in his opinion, the present zoning of Rl is not appropriate for this area adjacent to Trunk Highway 169. He note that there needs to be a land use for this area that can be a type of compromise between commercial and residential.
