Planning Commission Minutes June 28, 1982 Page 1'010 Ms. Laura Manske, Barthel, discussed the new proposal they were presenting to- night. Ms. Manske indicated that they are reducing the size of the shopping center. Barthel did three things: 1) They removed another anchor tennant, leaving only two anchor tennants (a drug store and a grocery store). 2) They have removed the mall. They n01;v have 1;\That is called a "strip center". 3) They are also trying to negotiate with the lando\vuer to try to arrive at some kind of arrangement so Barthel can defer some of the cost of the center. Ms. Manske indicated that they have reduced the size of the center to 51,000 square feet. Ms. Manske discussed the purpose of the shopping center. This type of shop- ping center is called a neighborhood shopping center, the smallest kind of shopping center. Some types of stores anticipated in the center are gift, card, insurance, eyewear, shoe repair, etc... Ms. Manske also indicated that the site is placed on 42 acres with expansion possible. Ms. Manske indicated that the 51,000 square feet is based on the development costs but the Barthel people would like the Planning Com- mission to consider approving up to 55,000 square feet. Commissioner Pearce asked Ms. Manske what Barthel would consider for Phase 2 for the PUD. Ms. Manske indicated that possible mall expansion but that it would depend on market demand. The City Administrator asked Ms. Manske if Barthel was proposing 51,000 square feet or 55,000 square feet. Ms. Manske indicated to the City Administrator that 55,000 square feet is the amount Barthel would like to have the Planning Commission consider tonight. Chairman Tracy asked if the public had any questions for Barthel regarding their new proposal. Rob VanValkenbu~indicated that he understood that studies, done by Zack Johnson and Associates, allowed for 44 or 45,000 square feet of shopping center and he questioned the size of the center and the need for future development. Mr. VanValkenburg further indicated to Mr. Ken Barthel a question regarding the do\vntown development - If the do\vuto\Vll got some type of redevelopment going in the dO\Vllto\Vll area, would Barthel be willing to wait a year before progressing with the shopping center? Mr. Barthel indicated to Mr. VanValkenburg that that would not be possible because of options that have to be met. Discussion followed regarding the conditional use permit and the conditions on s~ch a permit. The City Administrator indicated to the Planning Commission that tonight they are looking at a new proposal and they should review this against the ordinance.
