OLD
BUSINESS:
Mr. Steinfels stated at the last meeting Mr.
Kraus stated in the motion that if we did not have everything together for this
meeting we would automatically be tabled until the November 6th
meeting. He stated with the financing,
last time we told you there were 4 banks and now the 4th one has
pulled out. What we have done is
modified the phasing and the plat from 42 lots in phase one to 20 lots. What this does is reduces the amount we need
for the bonding. This helps because we
may now not need the 4th bank.
He stated if this happens, then we will proceed and close with the land
seller yet this month. Once we close we
have the financing in place and are ready to move forward.
Mr. Dennis Schulze stated this is a leap of
faith of the developer by closing on this land before the final plat is
approved. If for some reason they close
and the final plat doesn’t get approved then they are stuck with agricultural
land. We haven’t seen any signs that it
won’t go through but just wanted to make you aware of the situation.
Mr. Bergwall stated if you are changing the
phasing, we would need to have a drawing showing the new phasing and what the
timing might be for the various phases.
Mr. Steinfels stated CEC already provided these drawings to the administration. Mr. Bergwall stated Mrs. Penhorwood stated in
the e-mail she sent us that the drawings have not been delivered.
Mr. Cunningham stated the developer needs to
check with Mrs. Penhorwood and make sure she has the drawings so they can get
to us before the November meeting. He
stated this item is automatically tabled until the November 6th
meeting.
NEW
BUSINESS:
Mr. Cunningham stated on the agenda are items
which Mr. Kraus was researching, however he is out of
town.
DISCUSSION
ITEMS:
Mr. Cunningham stated Mr. Yoder made a comment
regarding researching outdoor display areas and Mrs. Penhorwood has provided
some information for us.
Mr. Cunningham stated there is also a map in
front of us which shows a future medical office site off of
Mr. Bergwall stated we probably would not have
picked this zoning if we knew there were going to be homes there from the
beginning. However, when you look at
what is going to happen along SR 31 with the church behind these homes and a
future medical office across the street, someday that property may best be a
strip of offices.
Mr. Soller stated this falls within the Woods
of Mill Valley section which is R-2 now.
The difficulty with this entrance is there is a boulevard divider. The questions the homeowners had for the
medical offices was where is the entrance going to be because you can’t come
south off SR 31 onto Mill Wood Blvd. and turn left because of the divider.
Mr. Seymour stated if we chose to rezone it, he
stated maybe neighborhood commercial would be the appropriate zoning.
Mr. Cunningham stated this is something for the
commission to look into further.
Mr. Bergwall stated when the new McDonald’s opened, he happened to be there and talked to the owner of
the property. He stated the property
made the comment that they noticed a problem with traffic flow out there
because all they could do off of SR 31 is a right in. There is no out onto SR 31.
Mr. Cunningham asked Mrs. Penhorwood to check
and see if the first lot on the north side of
