Jim Landwehr asked Planning Commission if PRD was to use with other choices (AlorBl).
Fred Reber asked if Cloverdale fell under this new zoning if approved.
Steve Dehler asked why we can only build 2~ story buildings in st. Joseph. It was
explained due to the size of st. Joseph fire equipment.
Marlene Klett questioned the fact of not having any set density in the PRD. John
Miller stated that Planning Commission could put in any numbers that would please
them.
Steve Dehler asked if any area could be set up with both Al or Bl and PRD, and give
developer choice. Also should PRD have a minimum size plot, such as 10 acres.
John Miller stated that if the Planning Commission sets a number for a minimum, then
what happens if a developer comes in with 9.9 acres. John also stated if Planning
Commission feels the need to put minimum size or minimum density, that it should
be put in the ordinance.
Steve Dehler stated that if problems come up with the PRD that it will be with the
bigger developer, not the small one.
Motion to adjourn by Marlene Klett seconded by Mrs. Kelly. Meeting adjourned 9:15 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Jim Wensel
