Committeemember Davis asked Mr. Wojtila if he had spoken with Volcano Restaurant or not. Mr. Wojtila responded that he did not realize it was an issue until the previous week. He called the restaurant on Friday, January 20th, 2017 and left a message for the owner. He did not receive a call back. Councilmember Scott asked, Why this spot versus everything and anything up and down Lincoln Way? There are plenty of spots to be repurposed; many spots within a commercial status, as far as zoning, versus a place that is residential right now. Did anybody from Community Investment help you look for a site? Mr. Wojtila responded, My role is not in site selection, but I can tell you that Dollar General, based on their market research, advised us where they would like to be located. As a developer for them, they will give us a location and then we will do the property research. This one was a site that was situated between a Light Industrial zone and a General Commercial zone, even though it sounds residential. The properties along the corridor belong predominantly to the Commercial zoning classification. Councilmember Scott asked, Is there any way that you would have that answered by 7:00 p.m. tonight? Mr. Wojtila responded, Sure. Committeemember Gavin Ferlic made a motion to send Substitute Bill No. 77-16 to the full Council with no recommendation. Committeemember John Voorde seconded the motion,which carried by four(4) ayes. Bill No. 78-16—Waggoner Dairy Farm Rezoning at Adams & Mayflower Road Angela Smith, Area Plan Commission, with offices on the 11th Floor of the County-City Building, served as the presenter of this bill. Ms. Smith stated that the petitioner is seeking to rezone a one-hundred and nineteen(119) acre tract on the east side of the bypass. It touches Adams Road on the south and carries over and touches Mayflower Road on the west. The site is currently zoned PUD, Planned Unit Development. However,the PUD has expired, in terms of the preliminary approval. Ms. Smith stated, At the time that this was rezoned in 2005, we had an expiration. In 2010,their extensions expired. In 2013,the City made an amendment in the ordinance to no longer allow PUD's to expire, but they kind of fell into that gap, so they stay zoned PUD unless the property owner,the City Council, or the Area Plan Commission rezones them, or unless the developer were to go back through the process themselves. Ms. Smith presented images of the property and its surroundings to the Committee and public. She stated, The total area of the site to be rezoned is one-hundred and nineteen(119) acres. They are currently showing two (2) development lots, with Lot A on the southern portion containing a 315,000 square foot industrial facility with its associate parking and loading docks. There are plans for future expansion to the north, if this should carry forward. Ms. Smith presented to the Committee and public a close-up image of the proposed site that the petitioners were looking to 8
