?i . } PLANNING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 27, 1990 PAGE 4 opposed to any rezoning, they want the area to remain residential, and would like to see what definite plans that the developer has. Mr. Thomas pointed out that the City would like to maintain some control.over this property and does not want to have the courts determine how the area is to be developed as previously happened on the Developer Diversified property; pointing out that this developer would have a strong case to rezone through the courts. He suggested that maybe the adjacent homes would not maintain value as homes, maybe they would retain value in another use. Assistant Law Director Dubelko pointed out that in the case of a split zoned lot, it is not alway necessary to rezone to one of the two present zonings, it would b.e within the city's autliority to rezone to a totally different use; however, this is not his s.uggestion, merely a clarification. In reference to the neighbors request to see definite plans, Mr. Mize, Biskind.Develop- ment Company, explained that they are working with several build-to-suit. office tenants, and could not say definitely what the buildings would be, quite possibly a four story office building. Neighbors are definitely opposed to such a high building. Mr. Bierman questioned how the neighbors would feel about the off ramp which could possibly take two residential . lots and leave one or two lot's between the ramp and the, highway. Mr. Lamneck pointed out the ramp is not definite and should not be considered with this rezoning. Mro Thomas advised the residents that these issues-would be discussed.at the March 13th Planning Commission meeting, that there would be a committee meeting at 7:00 p.m. which they may attend, but since this would be a study meeting, they would not be invited to speak. Mr. Lamneck advised that this developer also owned property on the east side of Columbia Road next door to him. J. Thomas moved to table this proposal until the March 13th meeting at.whieh time we can discuss thefindings of our meeting with Mr. Hill regarding this area in more detail allowing public discussion and comments from the audience and the developer, seconded.by R. Bowen, and unanimously approved. The neighbors were advised that the maps presen:ted this evening would be available in the Engineering Department and-that they could also 'study the Zoning Code there which would explain the possible uses of the Mixed Use District.
