The four sites currently being considered are: o R.L. Johnson property o Fowler property and two properties south on lOth Avenue o Mashek/Jak Antiques/Martin's property o Rudy Luther block between 7th and 8th Avenue The Commission discussed the four proposed sites as well as various operational issues with staff. Staff then stated they would present the Commission's comments to the City Council at the December 15 meeting. ITEM: REVIEW SIGN OPTIONS FOR THE ENTRANCE SIGN ON THE CORNER OF 5TH AVENUE COUNTY ROAD 3 ^ Staff reviewed the four sign concepts with the Commission and asked for comments. Once a concept is chosen, the designer will create several signs in that style for selection. Commission members discussed the concepts and expressed an interest in having the sign tie into the downtown (clock tower) or the handicap housing project. The majority of the Commission members preferred the arch concept. ITEM: REVIEW MULTIPLE FAMILY ZONED SITES Staff reviewed three sites which are currently zoned multiple family; the Steiner property, north of St. Therese, and the Minneapolis Floral property. Staff stated that we need to look at the effect of multiple family housing on the City, i.e. taxes, crime, use of services, etc. Commission members discussed these three pieces of property. Suggestions included leaving the Minneapolis Floral property zoned R- 2 , but leaning towards a reduced number of units. This would need a legal opinion before any changes could be made. A suggestion for the property north of St. Therese currently zoned R-2 would be for lower density (town homes, patio homes) , and for the Steiner property, business park. �� Zoning and Planning Commission Minutes November 24 , 1992 ---� Page 3 The Zoning and Planning Commission will next meet as regularly scheduled on December 29, 1992 .
