Steering Committee Minutes Page 3 May 4, 1995 • Lloyd Barthel questioned how many areas are in Areas A and B. Steve Ach estimated a total of 140 acres in the two areas, but wetland would reduce the number of developable acres to approximately 80. He felt that industrial park users should pay for water and sewer and not the residents. He felt that in Area C should be residential and the remaining area along the highway could be industrial. He stated that it would be necessary to spot zone the area and also, to extend water and sewer to the property. He felt the same could be said for Areas D, E and F, unless the parcels were large enough to develop with some type of on-site water and sewer, as suggested by Bill Birrenkott. Steve Ach suggested a mix of residential and commercial in the southeast area of the City to help pay for extending services. Dave Anderson expressed his concern for residential development in this area. Discussion followed regarding the impact of industrial taxes on residential. Arne Engstrom suggested some type of industrial dedication fees charged to residential developers, such as the current park dedication fees, to provide for future industrial land and/or development. He felt that portions of the Cargill property should be zoned industrial next to the railroad tracks. Discussion followed regarding zoning the property for future use. He stated he was in favor of the Specht property being zoned industrial. Dave Anderson stated he was in favor Mary Eberley's idea for a riverside park. • Chair Minton concluded that Areas A and B are preferences for industrial park use and also to extend industrial along the railroad tracks down to Areas F and D. Hank Duitsman stated that he felt the traffic problem would become worse at Highway 169 and Main Street if industrial development were to occur in Areas A and B. Discussion followed regarding traffic issues and also extending water and sewer southeast along Highway 10. Greg Renner, of Renner Well Co., expressed his concern regarding the pig farm, the excess speed of trains in the Jarvis Area. He stated he was in favor of developing the industrial areas from the core city area out. He felt that area F should be industrial, not residential. He stated that if it is desired to have industrial property in the extreme southeast area of the City, the only way it could be done is with private systems, and it would be 20 to 30 years city water and sewer would be extended. Discussion followed regarding traffic congestion that would be associated with Areas A and B. BILL BIRRENKOTT MOVED TO RECOMMEND THAT AREAS A AND B BE REZONED FOR BUSINESS/INDUSTRIAL PARK USE.
