Commissioner Nosan questioned if the City had considered open up market rate apartments in <br />the node. <br />Development Services Manager Gladhill stated in 2003 -2004 the City's Master Plan identified <br />additional housing in this area while reducing the size of the retail space. He explained the City <br />would benefit greatly by gathering feedback from the residents near the node, as to what their <br />needs are. <br />Commissioner Brauer stated commercial /retail uses has not worked in this area for quite some <br />time. However, if additional housing units were added by the golf course, this may alter the <br />retail needs. He recommended an Open House be framed broadly to assist in gathering <br />interesting ideas from the public. <br />Development Services Manager Gladhill stated it was his hope to keep the Open House a simple <br />process. <br />Commissioner Brauer stated the area would not become developed until the City brought sewer <br />and water services. <br />Development Services Manager Gladhill commented the water lines were near this location but <br />sewer lines were approximately 1 -2 miles away. <br />Commissioner Field cautioned the City from putting in these sewer lines due to the vast expense <br />that would be taken on. He stated the sewer and water lines would still not guarantee retail or <br />commercial success in the node. <br />Chairperson Levine was in favor of the City holding an Open House to gather feedback from the <br />public as to their wants and needs for this area. <br />Motion by Commissioner Bauer, seconded by Commissioner Nosan, to table action on the policy <br />and direct Staff to coordinate an Open House /Collaboration after the September Planning <br />Commission meeting to gather input on the area and the creation of a project webpage and online <br />public input forum. <br />Motion Carried.
