Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Anderson to put the language in V18 from V15 (the exceptions to this role sentence) right after municipal sewer and water. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Haas Steffen, Anderson, Hendriksen and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Ms. Sherman noted a request to discuss land use at 153rd and T.H. #47 and plans for the Katnis property. When the plan was presented to the Planning Commission, it showed 153''d and//47 under the proposed land use plan and the southwest comer showed as high density residential. They made a change to mixed use. The map was modified. That change was made at the February meeting. Also the Planning Commission, at the last meeting, added language under the P.U.D. section. It was recommended in the final plat that P.U.D. section add language that will allow commercial with high density residential. The request came from the Katnis property. They do not want to lose the ability for mixed development. The intent was that if they received a plan with some commercial development, that may be okay with the neighborhood - they felt it could be dealt with under the P.U.D. Leo Anderson, Chair of the Planning Commission was present and was invited to sit at the table with Council. Councilmember Hendriksen stated that if we change that to mixed use, aren't we opening ourselves up for difficulty in denying something that's a permitted use. Mayor Gamec inquired what type of activity is the Planning Commission looking at. Mr. Anderson replied convenience store, gas station, etc. That might be a little more than what the Planning Commission had in mind. It went along the lines of something intended for the immediate area. Councilmember Hendriksen asked about mixed use. Ms. Sherman stated there are two issues. The first issue is mixed use at 153rd and #47. The Katnis piece is still designated high density. The Commission recommended language added so that there be a discussion - one at a time. Councilmember Haas Steffen stated that one of the things the Commissioner of Transportation asked of us was would we consider redesigning commercial/industrial on T.H. #47. This puts a great deal of strain in that area. The comer of 153/#47 is mixed uses and housing is already in there. It's a large amount of red and that's places to shop. It will generate a lot of in and out traffic. Ms. Sherman stated that this lays out the general land use. The next step is development of a zoning ordinance that will go along with this plan. Mixed use in one area will have different use designation in a different area. The zoning would regulate that. Special City Council/March 30, 1999 Page 4 of 15
