Commissioner Johnson noted the City's intent to do a Highway #10 corridor study and <br />questioned if the City should include some language in the Comprehensive Plan that references <br />this furore study and the possibility that land uses may change. <br /> <br />Mr. Scheib noted that the transportation element references the need for a Highway #i 0 corridor <br />study and that the study has several objectives. <br /> <br />The consensus was to indicate on the future land use map that the Highway #10 corridor will be <br />the subject of a corridor study. Chairperson Anderson summarized that the City will facilitate a <br />study but the language shouldn't imply that the City will do it or fund it. <br /> <br />Couneilmember Hendriks~n was present and stated his rec, ollection from a previous workshop <br />was that densities were to be lowered and bonuses offerea to get up to the densities currently <br />indicated in the draft plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Scheib and Ms. Sherman recalled that the consensus from the last workshop was to change <br />the density in the rural/urban district only. Chairman Anderson polled the Commissioners and <br />Wivoda and Dempsey were satisfied with the densities as proposed, Johnson and Kociscak were <br />interested in discussing further the possibility of guaranteeing a minimum density and providing <br />an incentive for density bonuses. Commissioner Dempsey initiated a lengthy discussion of <br />regarding lot sizes, PUD's, and zoning ordinances. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Anderson and seconded by Commissioner Johnson to direct Mr. Scheib <br />to change the density table to stated "Maximum Density With Bonuses Applied". <br /> <br />Motion carded. Voting Yes: Chairperson Anderson, Commissioners Dempsey, Johnson, <br />Kociscak, and Wivoda. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Jensen and Nixt. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nixt arrived at 7:32 p.m. <br /> <br />Mr. John Peterson of Oakwood Land Development expressed an opinion that limiting rural <br />residential building permits to 20 per year will raise lot prices and lower land values for property <br />owners. This statement was reaffirmed by local landowner, Craig Morris. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that he though rural development was going to be staged by <br />geographic boundaries, much like urban growth. <br /> <br />Chairperson Anderson responded that the rational for staging growth in the urban area is <br />extension of services; that same rational doesn't exist in the rural area because the are no services <br />to extend. <br /> <br />The Commission requested more information on how a system of l{miting the number of <br />building permits issued would work and some other alternatives for managing growth in the rural <br />area. <br /> <br /> Planning Commission/February 16, 1999 <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
