potential uses; however, they would have to list out every use they would not want to see in this area. Councilmember Stewart said that even though the space will be small, there would still be room for a restaurant. Councilmember Olson asked if the restrictive deed is something that could come from the City or the property owner. Economic Development Manager Sullivan said it would come from the City when they would deed the property to the property owner. He shared that they have looked at the City keeping this land; however, the thought process is that the bank will be putting in all of the infrastructure for access to the site and the City would not spend any money on the infrastructure. Councilmember Riley noted that having a restrictive deed would give the City some more control over what the retail space on the property would be; however, that is not his preference. Economic Development Manager Sullivan asked if the City would be able to retain the smaller lot that would be used for retail space. Planning Manager Larson said they would just have to find some kind of business that could fit within the space as there are no minimum lot sizes in the COR. Mr. Suchy stated they would prefer for the City to keep the smaller lot as they are not in the development businesses and would not want to worry about the smaller lot. Councilmember Buscher asked Mr. Suchy if there is any kind of establishment they would not want next to the bank. Mr. Suchy shared that any kind of restaurant would be ideal in this space and there are not any types of establishments he would not like to see. The consensus of the Council was to direct Staff to continue to work with CorTrust Bank to work through the land use application process and replatting the land for the City to retain the smaller parcel.
