City Councii Meeting Page 8 <br /> May 15, 1995 <br /> Councilmember Scheel indicated that she is aware of several communities that i <br /> have built shopping malls next to residential areas. She stated that this is not an <br /> unusual case. She further indicated that according to a covenant for the <br /> Brentwood area dated 1981, Outlot A was not proposed for residential <br /> development. <br /> Counciimember Farber spoke of the concern regarding the impact traffic would <br /> have in the Brentwood area if the property were rezoned for commercial use. <br /> Counciimember Farber indicated that he did not feel that area warranted <br /> commercial development. He indicated he was opposed to the request. <br /> Councilmember Holmgren spoke about the decision of the Council to not want <br /> commercial development to the west of the City due to the Business Park and <br /> further indicated that there is no sewer and water to the east of the City along <br /> Highway 10. He indicated this leaves only Highway 169 for commercial <br /> development at the present time. He stated he felt this issue should go back to <br /> the Planning Commission for review and further stated that he was not convinced <br /> that Outlot A should only be developed as residential property. <br /> Mayor Duitsman stated that he felt commercial development could go up to <br /> 197th Avenue. He indicated that he is concerned about protecting the residents <br /> in the area with some type of a buffer from the commercial development. He <br /> further indicated he did not feel that Outlot A was a residential piece of property. <br /> Councilmember Dietz voiced his support for Planning Commission members and <br /> their review of this proposal. He indicated that he felt the City would also be • <br /> receiving a request from developers on the east side of Highway 169 to extend <br /> commercial development up to 197th Avenue. He further stated that he felt <br /> Outlot A was conducive to commercial development, however, he indicated <br /> that he disagreed with the proposed concept for a big box retailer in that area. <br /> Councilmember Dietz stated that Elk Park Valu Center is surrounded by two major <br /> roads whereas this property is surrounded only by one major road and residential <br /> property. He stated that because of that, he would like to see the developer <br /> submit a revised, down-sized concept. He stated that commercial development <br /> will go north of 193rd Avenue in this area as the City has a commercial site next to <br /> Holt Avenue that it plans to sell in the future. Counciimember Dietz stated that <br /> there muss be some type of buffer between large commercial development and <br /> residential areas. <br /> The City Council discussed the size of commercial building that should be <br /> proposed for Outlot A. After much discussion. it was decided that there would be <br /> no need for the developer to return to the Planning Commission with new plans. <br /> However, the developer should submit revised plans to the City Council for <br /> review. <br /> COUNCILMEMBER SCHEEL MOVED TO CONTINUE ITEMS 8.5.
