Planning Commission Minutes May 24, 1982 Page Two Mr. Mills indicated that the do\vntown only was very concerned about what was happen- ing. Mr. Mills indicated that the only study available to them was the study done by Mr. Zack Johnson, City Planner, in 1979. The do\vutown felt that they needed some input on this whole area from some professional views. Chairman Tracy indicated that the Planning Commission had already approved the square footage in dealing with the concept being presented by Mr. Santwire tonight. Gary Santwire indicated that there were two 8,000 square foot buildings planned orig- inally; now the two 8,000 square foot buildings would not be there. Mr. Santwire is only changing the distribution of the square footage within the approved commer- cial area of the PUD. Chairman Tracy asked Mr. Sant\rire what would happen to the other areas that were originally being considered for commercial use, now that it is all being packed to- gether on one area. Chairman Tracy further asked Mr. Santwire if he anticipated more gro\vth corrunercially \vithin. that area in the future. Mr. Sant~ire indicated that two of the sites in question were no longer o\vned by him. Mr. Santwire further indicated that possibly both sides might be built on or marketed for further commercial development. General discussion was carried on where Mr. Santwire indicated that if you count every- thing that is being proposed, and if you were to use the maximum allowable footage for lots 3 and 4, you would then come up with the same amount of footage within 100 square feet of what was originally proposed. Since the original site plan was approved, some of the lots became somewhat smaller in size because of the expansion of the drainage area.
