Approved 8/3/2016 <br />2 <br />Perdita Holtz: The intent of this was for a cohesive development project overall site plan. 55 <br /> 56 <br />Paul Guthrie: I understand that, but I think that’s one of my worries through the whole paper. All of this is the initial 57 <br />thing. What’s going to happen ten years from now? Because the natural order of things in development is that you 58 <br />devolve, and then you re-develop, and then you re-develop if you can’t get land outside to do it all over again. And 59 <br />I’m wondering if somehow there could be a clause that the lawyers would accept that at a certain point you have to 60 <br />basically reinterpret this whole original area that was zoned that way and developed in that definition. 61 <br /> 62 <br />Craig Benedict: When we do a site plan, for let’s say a ten acre site, but they’re only using six acres, but yet that 63 <br />original site was a ten acre site and somebody wants to develop something we call that a site plan modification. So 64 <br />that we’re still including what happened in phase 1 so maybe something along those lines. 65 <br /> 66 <br />Tony Blake: I’m trying to stay with the overall purpose and background, which is to streamline things. To make it 67 <br />easier to develop and I know a lot of times you guys come up with a conceptual plan for something but the developer 68 <br />wants to move things around and that’s when the real discussions happen. But, if the thing is based on square 69 <br />footage it seems like that’s a cumbersome method of doing it and if you wanted to streamline the process you would 70 <br />make it based on square acres or land or something. 71 <br /> 72 <br />Craig Benedict: We’ve considered the square footage versus acreage and some projects could use up a lot more 73 <br />acreage by not keeping it to square footage so we don’t want a lot of our economic development zones to have too 74 <br />much residential so the square footage is a value. So for now we’re going square footage and we’ll evaluate this as it 75 <br />comes through. 76 <br /> 77 <br />Tony Blake: Would food trucks be permitted? 78 <br /> 79 <br />Craig Benedict: Yes. 80 <br />******81 <br /> <br /> <br /> 69
