Councilmember Kurak stated that she visions a quaint area with shops below and offices and <br />residential above. She would not be against some housing, but does not want to see a lot of <br />housing. In addition she would like the area to include a professional building. <br /> <br />Mr. Bakken inquired if the Council had any opposition to office space, or limited residential. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Council was no. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak noted that she would prefer that nothing be over four stories. <br /> <br />Consensus was that no buildings should be over four stories. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman recommended identifying the 50-acre Town Center site as mixed use <br />and then identify the remaining acreage as a reserved area for future development. <br /> <br />Mr. Bakken stated if they agree with what was proposed by staff, then it would allow the <br />property to develop as the market demands. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that he could agree with what was proposed as long as the <br />area does not have residential as a permitted use. <br /> <br />Principal Planner Trudgeon explained that the underlying zoning would be in effect until the City <br />decides what to do with the land. The area would be called a Timed Development District. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak inquired as to what would happen if someone wants to develop a portion <br />of the land. <br /> <br />Principal Planner Trudgeon replied that it would be up to the Council as to how they would want <br />to handle the development. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that he would agree with a Timed Development District. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman stated that he would also agree with the Timed Development <br />District. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson stated that she thought it was something they could work with as long <br />as it would allow for the Town Center to expand in the future. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that he does not want to stop the business park from <br />developing if the Town Center is not expanding. He inquired if the Timed Development District <br />would only permit the Town Center to expand. <br /> <br />City Council/November 26, 2001 <br /> Page 8 of 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
