Councilmember Riley confirmed the consensus of the group to support the developer choosing <br /> the site across the street, as that is the first choice for that developer at this time. <br /> EDA Member asked if people would support this type of development in the location if it were <br /> not gated. He asked if people would want to bike through a townhome/apartment complex area. <br /> Planning Commissioner Van Scoy stated that he would support the idea if the property were not <br /> gated. He stated that this proposal would potentially include single-level living for the unit on <br /> the bottom, there would just be someone younger living on top of that unit. He stated that he <br /> would want to ensure agreement with the Parks Commission. <br /> Councilmember Riley asked if there are plans for a trail in this location. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill noted that the current Comprehensive Plan does <br /> have a general alignment through that site but is flexible as to where in that quadrant the trail <br /> would go. He stated that if the site does not want to be divided, that trail would go along <br /> Bunker. <br /> Councilmember Riley stated that if the decision has been made to include a greenway corridor <br /> through the site, that may impact the flexibility and marketing of the site and therefore would <br /> support flexibility in that alignment. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill noted that there would be some developments which <br /> would work with a greenway corridor through the middle of the site. <br /> EDA Member Steffen stated that he agrees that the preference should be made for the northwest <br /> parcel. He stated that he would be hesitant to decline an offer for an additional 250 rooftops in <br /> favor of a bike trail. He stated that he would be cautious to play hopscotch between high and <br /> low value developments throughout The COR. <br /> Asst. City Administrator/Economic Development Manager Brama stated that it appears that there <br /> will be an issue if a greenway cannot be accommodated. He stated that it appears that the gate <br /> may or may not become an issue. He stated that the user could possibly flex to accommodate a <br /> greenway connection in another area of the site to provide flexibility. <br /> Planning Commissioner Anderson stated that in the initial discussions, the Commission was not <br /> firm on the location of the trail through the site, there was simply a desire to have a trail. He <br /> stated that the location of the trail is flexible, but it is important to have the trail in there <br /> somewhere. <br /> Planning Commissioner Surma noted that the developer prefers the site across the street and the <br /> City should support that. <br /> Councilmember Shryock stated that she is not thrilled with the walls but noted that the walls <br /> could be broken up with landscaping. <br /> City Council Work Session/May 23, 2018 <br /> Page 10 of 14 <br />
