I. LAUREL HILL PLAN UPDATE
Mr. Sloat reviewed the information that had been forwarded to the council.
Answering questions from Mr. Obie, Mr. Sloat said there were 750 acres in the
plan area. Population projections indicated a maximum of 7,500 dwelling units
with 23,000 people in the area. Ms. Decker said most of the area was subject
to the South Hills Study. A realistic population projection would be 3,000
4 dwelling units with 6,000 people. Mr. Sloat said the commercial/residential
development node was designed to serve the tourists from 1-5 as well as the
residents of the laurel Hill area. Real estate brokers had indicated 15 to 20
acres were needed for a well designed, comprehensive commercial development.
e Mr. Hamel noted the existing commercial development served tourists.
Replying to a question from Mr. Gleason, Mr. Obie said the neighborhood com-
mercial development at 40th Avenue and Donald Street was five acres. Mr. Sloat
said the Beltline and Barger Avenue commercial development was nine acres.
The commercial/residential development node in the laurel Hill area would have
21 acres of commercial development, five acres of medium-density residential
development, and two or three acres of professional office development which
would serve as a buffer.
Responding to comments from Mr. Keller, Mr. Sloat said the commercial/resi-
dential development would be north of the existing commercial development.
The property owners south of the existing commercial development did not want
the commercial/residential node designated for their property. Ms. Miller
pointed out the new development would not be visible from 1-5. Mr. Sloat said
the property owners did not want commercial development in the laurel Hill
Valley.
Referring to item 8 on page 3 of the memo dated July 19, 1982, to the Mayor and
City Councilors from the Planning Department, Ms. Miller said the policy lost
some clarity when it was rewritten. She wondered what property was meant by
IIthese lots. II She suggested the policy be rewritten so that it was more clear.
The work session was adjourned about 1:25.
