PUBLIC HEARING – Minor subdivision to combine two lots into one lot of record. PINs: 293023420028 & 293023420029 Consideration of a minor subdivision to consolidate two lots, one of which is under the ownership of the Donatelle’s. Half of the proposed building would be within the lot. Combined site would be 8.2 acres. At the southern portion of the site there are treatment facility buildings. The lot line does actually cross over the building. This is an industrial district which will require 15 feet from the side yard setback and 40 from the front. It does meet the 40 foot front yard setback but encroaches not only the setback but on the southern lot line of the proposed parcel that would become part of Donatelle Plastics. There would need to be an easement crafted not only to address this issue but also the storm sewer. The Planning Commission and City Council will need to consider that this building is considered a temporary building, probably to be retired and deconstructed anywhere from 2 – 5 years from now. The larger building on the south is more or less permanent. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. Moved and seconded to 5 Ayes, 0 Nays, Motion Carried.

The existing apartment site would be split off from the new development. The development team has asked for a TIF feasibility analysis. David Black has been working with the City’s consultants on this issue. This particular parcel was rezoned from R-3A to R-3B in the summer of 2001. There was some concern about additional apartment development in the city over the last few years and there was a moratorium in the year 2000 that extended for a year placed on multi-family development. During that time staff looked at the issue and felt that there was quite a bit of affordable rental opportunities but not a lot of higher end rental opportunities in the city and not enough entry level or affordable ownership opportunities in the city. With that in mind the city drafted and the council approved design standards for multi-family housing to encourage this type of development. The city also rezoned
