Steering Committee Minutes Page 5 May 25, 1995 0 CITY-OWNED LOT ON THE WEST SIDE OF HIGHWAY 169. MARY EBERLEY SECONDED THE MOTION. Marty Glines stated that Jerry Hagen, owner of Sax Foods, would be opposed to this recommendation, since it would prevent him from expanding his store to the north. Mr. Glines stated that the Specht property to the north has a large open area behind the residence. He felt that it should be designated for commercial now before any residential development occurs. Mary Eberley expressed her concern regarding the removal of any more trees along Highway 169. Steve Ach explained that although it appears Mr. Hagen's business could be expanded to the south, there is a platted lot that could be developed and beyond that there is a pond. Discussion followed regarding the 1-1/4 acre parcel owned by the City which is located on Holt Avenue. THE MOTION CARRIED 11-2. CHRIS KREGER AND MARLY GLINES OPPOSED. Marly Glines stated that he opposed the motion because of the fact that Mr. Hagen cannot expand his business to the south because the lot is owned by someone else and is proposed for a sit-down restaurant. Furthermore, Mr. Hagen's building was designed to expand towards the north. The property to • the north is mainly open field with the exception of Everett Specht's residence. Earl Hohlen Property CHRIS KREGER MOVED THAT THE STEERING COMMITTEE RECOMMEND THE EARL HOHLEN PROPERTIES CURRENTLY ZONED R1C, PUD AND C3 BE CHANGED TO A LAND USE OF HB (HIGHWAY BUSINESS) AND REZONE AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME TO BE DEVELOPED AS A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT.
