Council Meeting Minutes Page 4 <br />May 14, 1991 <br />Council Business, continued Council Business <br />Dick Groves, Cambridge Group, said tl~e disadvantage in not zoning a JUO Property <br />parcel is that it becomes a mystery and buyers are apprehensive to Rezoning <br />purchase adjoining parcels. Possible. tenants in a B-1 district may include Report 91-113 <br />an office building for dental, medical or professional offices. The smaller Resolution 91-53 <br />office buildings have become a healthy segment of the market and is the <br />(east offensive to abutting sites. <br />Rebelein-said Council does not have an obligation to a landowner to <br />rezone a property to increase its value. She feels the adjacent property <br />owners may prefer to take an active interest in the parcel's rezoning. She <br />suggested a resolution of intent which would pertain to..,a'specific proposal <br />which requires the B-1 rezoning. <br />Benke suggested holding the first reading of the ordinance amendment, <br />but detaining the second reading until a proposal has been completed. Mr. <br />Groves will discuss concepts with staff before the second reading. <br />Scott Johnson, Arcon, is developing the parcel's residential portion and <br />does not have an economic interest in Outlot C, however, he has some <br />concerns. He prefers to be upfront and knowledgeable with prospective <br />homebuyers, and the unknowns involved in a future rezoning could make <br />a prospective buyer uncomfortable. He has researched several <br />alternatives for Outlot C and feels potential buyers would be less resistent <br />to the B-1 zoning, than to multi-family residential. <br />Mr. Groves said his clients, JUO Company, endorse the B-1 rezoning and <br />a timely decision is appreciated so that marketing of the parcel could <br />begin. JUO is not requesting the rezoning to increase the parcel's value, <br />but feels that the parcel to stay as is would require an interested buyer to <br />overcome one more step in order to develop the parcel. <br />Mattila said according to the B-1 restrictions a building can be no more <br />than a two story building. <br />Williams has lived near the parcel for 21 years and prefers to see it <br />developed tastefully. He feels B-1 is the best zoning for the parcel. <br />Motion by Williams, seconded by Larson, to WAIVE THE READING AND <br />HOLD THE FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE NEW <br />BRIGHTON ZONING ORDINANCE BY REZONING CERTAIN PROPERTY <br />WITHIN THE CITY OF NEW BRIGHTON FROM R-1, SINGLE FAMILY <br />RESIDENTIAL TO B-1, LIMITED BUSINESS. <br />4 Ayes - 1 Nayes (Rebelein), Motion Carried. <br />The second reading wi!! be held May 28, 1991. <br />Mr. Groves said JUO's intention is to develop the area tastefully <br />
