Sketch Plan Review for Residential Lot Split or Day Care Center LOCATION On Cedar Avenue Frontage Road, North of 138th St. W. SKETCH PLAN PETITIONER: Mary Wilker REVIEW - WILKER PROPERTY Ms. McMonigal presented the staff report for this item. Mr. Wilker was pre- sent and stated that he was seeking ideas from the Planning Commission regard- ing his options for this property. The Planning Commission stated that it would not be favorable to daycare (business) use in a residential area like this. It appeared that his best options were to look at layouts for a duplex lot on the lot or to attempt to sell the property to the owners of the lots surrounding his property when the lots have been sold. No action was taken on this item. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES June 17, 1987 Page 3 Comprehensive Land Use Plan versus Zoning was discussed as an extra item. Consul- tant John Voss said the conflict is a point of discussion in many communities. In commercial and industrial areas, it is okay to go ahead and rezone if the City is fairly certain that will be the permanent use. In residential areas, it is un- known what the future will bring. The market changes so quickly that the, city probably wants to retain flexibility in those areas. 8. Ms. McMonigal briefly reviewed the demographic information from the June 10th Comprehensive Plan meeting. The next meeting for the Comprehensive Plan will be July 8th. That meeting will be an "issue identification" session. 9. Adj ourn MOTION: of Carlson, seconded by Kleckner, to adjourn the meeting at 10:00 p.m. VOTE: Yes - 4, No - 0. APPROVE SECRETARY
