Dennis Anderson Request for RezoninQ from R 1 c (SinQle Family Residentiall to PUD <br />(Planned Unit Develooment <br /> <br />Staff report by Steve Ach. Dennis Anderson has requested a comprehensive land <br />use plan amendment to change the existing land use from Medium Density <br />Residential to Highway Business. The property is described as Outlot A, Brentwood <br />Subdivision, located at the southwest corner of 197th and Highway 169, <br />approximately 17 acres in size. Also, Mr. Anderson has requested to rezone the <br />property from its current designation of R 1 c (Single Family Residential) to <br />PUD(Planned Unit Development). <br /> <br />Steve Ach provided background information regarding Outlot A. He also <br />described the concept plan submitted by Mr. Anderson which proposes a <br />119,000 square foot retail facility and a smaller convenience/gas station use at <br />the corner of 197th Avenue. Steve reviewed questions for the Planning <br />Commission to consider in reviewing the applications which related to the impact <br />on the surrounding residential community. He also reviewed issues to consider <br />related to the extension of commercial development in the community, <br />transportation issues, and inventory of existing commercial property. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Steve Ach provided comments on the site plan, streets/storm drainage/utilities, <br />signage and proposed uses for the PUD. He reviewed positive and negative <br />points regarding the proposed commercial use. Steve reviewed three options for <br />the Planning Commission's recommendation on this issue. <br /> <br />Dennis Anderson, developer, stated he felt the site would be logical extension of <br />the commercial zoning along Highway 169. He explained that a commercial <br />development would benefit the community's tax base, as opposed to 40 single <br />family homes in that same location. Mr. Anderson stated he felt he had been <br />honest in dealing with buyers in the Brentwood Addition. <br /> <br />Chair Kuester opened the public hearing. <br /> <br />Dale Miller, 11795 196th Avenue NW, stated when he bought his lot from Dennis <br />Anderson, he was told the outlot would be townhomes and park area. He also <br />submitted a letter from Jim and Janet Berg, 19760 Lowell Street, stated they were <br />told a similar thing. <br /> <br />Ron Peterson, 11625 197th Avenue NW, stated he was the owner of the single <br />family home immediately north of the subject site. He expressed his concern that <br />if it was the intent for Outlot A to be used as a commercial site, why it was not <br />rezoned at that time rather than allowing expensive homes to built around the <br />site and rezoning the property after Brentwood is developed. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Wayne Traaseth, 11707 194th Avenue NW, requested that the Planning <br />Commission address the traffic situation on 197th and Highway 169, and also on <br />Holt Avenue. He also requested that the yield sign on Irving be changed to a <br />stop sign before a tragic accident occurs. Mr. Traaseth questioned how many <br />times the developer can come back with a rezoning request. City Attorney Peter <br />
