Economic Dev. Mgr/Assistant City Administrator Brama stated the remnant parcel is not <br /> something staff would promote to sell. He stated CBRE felt there is value but it is limited. <br /> Member Williams stated the multi-tenant retail along Sunwood Drive is more appealing than a <br /> single level daycare and she did not think it was consistent with what she would like to see as a <br /> retail use on the corner of that parcel. She felt a daycare was better suited further out along the <br /> edge of The COR and believed the plan in place was a denser use of this space. She would like to <br /> see a multipurpose building on that parcel. <br /> Chairperson Steffen thought they all agreed it is a great concept and felt it would do well. He also <br /> agreed it is not the best site for the daycare. <br /> Member Hardin stated he did not disagree and thought it would be nice to have a multi-story <br /> building there but there is a willing buyer and seller before them and he was in favor of moving <br /> forward with Alternate A. <br /> Member Burandt asked if not on this site where would they put a daycare because people living <br /> and working in the multi-level buildings will need daycare but he did agree that they did not need <br /> a City improved road on Yolite. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill noted the Planning Commission perspective was a <br /> daycare could be located next to the Medical Examiners' office. Another area from staff's <br /> perspective was the McDonald's site because roads are in and the pad is ready to be built on. <br /> Another site is south of Casey's but would need to be looked at more thoroughly. The first time <br /> this project came forward to them it was proposed to be located on the northeast corner of Bunker <br /> and Ramsey. The corner is guided as retail and a daycare facility could be a part of that as well. <br /> From a land use perspective those are some of the primary spots. <br /> Economic Dev. Mgr/Assistant City Administrator Brama stated if they moved forward with this <br /> site, the City would be in favor of Yolite Street because of the traffic load this user will create <br /> during peak times and the City wants to avoid the congestion on Sunwood Drive. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill asked if they could explore the private road concept <br /> that connects all the way through and secure an easement for public sidewalks so that way maybe <br /> the cost is reduced and their maintenance obligations are reduced. Also another public City street <br /> would be useful if Zeolite Street were to close down for maintenance, Yolite street could be used <br /> as the pass thru road. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed possible traffic issues on Sunwood Drive <br /> with the Board. <br /> Member Riley thought everything being discussed regarding Yolite Street could be negotiated with <br /> the applicant. <br /> Economic Development Authority/January 12, 2017 <br /> Page 4 of 8 <br />
