b. what does it look like at the end; <br /> c. what is the connectivity; <br /> d. area parks accessible. <br /> We need to develop a new mind set. <br /> In the rural area development along the lakes creates a surplus of tax revenue. There are <br /> narrow lots with narrow roads. The roads have gotten wider and changed the character of <br /> the neighborhood and have become more expensive to maintain. The need to commute <br /> has increased access. <br /> We need to change the road standards in the rural area, shift lot sizes and put in place <br /> codes stating the infrastructure is going to be maintained by the property owners, not the <br /> City. This could be included in the strategies. <br /> Redevelopment occurs with code changes—no big signs, no parking lots, no drive thru's. <br /> It's a neighborhood. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority could kick start each <br /> block, one at a time. That will drive the development along that block, creating a higher <br /> tax base. The code changes should be specific instead of general, such as requiring curb, <br /> gutter, sidewalks and possibly tree lined streets. Inserting two pictures of the different <br /> types of development would be helpful. <br /> Infrastructure Section— <br /> Mr. Marohn will submit a draft of the new section next month. <br /> Chairman Woog opened the Public Hearings. <br /> PUBLIC HEARINGS: <br /> APPLICANT: Jeff Garland, L&J Investments <br /> Applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit for a Dog Boarding/Daycare Business <br /> (Reconsideration) <br /> A motion was made by Scott Pederson, seconded by Tom Adams, to reconsider the <br /> Conditional Use Permit request for a Dog Boarding/Daycare Business.
