Steering Committee Minutes Page 3 <br /> April 20, 1995 <br /> Chair Minton stated that the City Council has indicated they would like the <br /> • <br /> Steering Committee to address the parking requirements in the downtown area <br /> and perhaps provide some relief to encourage development/redevelopment <br /> activity. <br /> Chair Minton opened the meeting for comments from the public at this time. <br /> Phil Johnson, 19440 Holt Street, stated that there were a number of residents in <br /> attendance from the Brentwood area that want to know what is being proposed <br /> for Dennis Anderson's property (Outlot A), how it fits with the current land use <br /> plan, and the role of the Steering Committee in addressing this issue. <br /> Steve Ach explained that Outlot A has been included in the areas to be <br /> considered for possible changes in land use to commercial. He stated that there <br /> are two properties on either side of Highway 169 which are currently zoned <br /> residential. The property on the west is zoned R l c (10,000 square foot lots) and is <br /> located within the current urban service district. The property on the east side of <br /> Highway 169 is currently zoned Rl e (20,000 square foot lots). The entire area has <br /> be discussed for an overall planned unit development, and preliminary plans <br /> have identified this area as a potential commercial area. The property has not <br /> been rezoned at this time. Steve explained that an application for Outlot A will <br /> be reviewed by the Planning Commission on Tuesday, April 25th, to rezone the <br /> property to PUD with an underlying commercial land use. The proposal includes a <br /> 120,000 square foot retail facility on the 17 acre parcel. <br /> Chair Minton noted that the Committee has received a copy of the covenants <br /> • <br /> for the Brentwood Addition and a letter from Councilmembers that served at the <br /> time Brentwood was platting, stating that the intent was that Outlot A be used for <br /> commercial development. Also, he stated that they have testimony from <br /> residents. <br /> Mr. Johnson's questioned whether there was record in the minutes if the <br /> Councilmembers' intent that Outlot A be commercial in the future. Chair Minton <br /> stated that the intention was not stated in the minutes. <br /> Arne Engstrom stated that he served on the Council at that time, and it was his <br /> recollection that Outlot A was pulled from the residential part of the plat, and <br /> reserved for commercial use in the future when city water and sewer became <br /> available. Hank Duitsman, who also served on the Council at that time, agreed <br /> with Arne Engstrom's comments. <br /> Mr. Johnson questioned whether the intentions were valid if they were not in the <br /> official minutes. Chair Minton stated that the minutes could be researched <br /> further. <br /> Discussion followed regarding the Brentwood covenants. Mark Lucas read from <br /> the covenants as follows: "no lot other that Outlot A shall be used except for <br /> residential purposes." <br /> A resident commented that it was deceiving to intend that something be <br /> • commercial and zone it residential until all the lots around it are bought up and <br />
