In responding to a question from Mr. Haws, Mr. Saul said the closest commercial development was approximately two miles (West 11th and City View). Mr. Haws wondered if 400,000 square feet could be located in the - proposed center. Mr. Saul said not with the parking requirements. Mr. Haws then wondered how this would affect the property along the southeast corner of Barger and Beltline. Mr. Saul said that property is zoned C-2 Neighborhood Commercial, so the range of uses is much more limited. He said the possibility of a grocery store or supermarket in this community center could delay such a project on the property at Barger and Beltline. However, he noted that was purely speculative. Mr. Haws stated he opposed the project as he did not want any more shopping centers in that area. Vote was taken on the motion which carried with all Councilors present voting aye except Mr. Haws voting no. Lacking unanimous consent, the council bill will be held to June 26 for second reading. A short recess was taken. Mr. Haws and Mr. Williams left the meeting. A short recess was taken to obtain quorum, with Mr. Obie returning to the meeting. c. Concurrent Annexations/Rezonings 1. Annexation and Rezoning from County AGT to City R-l property - located south of Willakenzie Road, east of Bogart Street (Grove) (A/Z 78-2) Unanimously denied by Planning Commission April 11, 1978. Manager said Council would direct its attention at this time to the annexation of the property, not the rezoning. Mr. Saul said the annexation request involved 19.92 acres located south of Willakenzie Road. The Planning Commission recommended denial primarily because certain services (sanitary and storm sewers) would have to be extended through 1100 feet of unincorporated property from the north. Also, the property involved represented only a portion of total ownership and represented certain development problems. The annexation would also result in an illogical city boundary. The Planning Commission did take note of the fact that the area is clearly within the area of the urban service boundary and annexation would be appropriate if other factors could be resolved. He noted this was within an island area of Willakenzie, and the Planning Commission was reviewing those areas with a report to be submitted to Council at its June 28 meeting. No ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared by Councilors. Staff notes were entered as part of the record. e 6/12/78--9 ~21
