JAN 14 1986 BOOK 3 P,;E 239 commercial on the other side, would make it feasible to build $70,000 homes. Director Keating explained that this is the property next to the trailer park on which the Board has twice considered revok- ing the site plan approval. Mr. Garbers has a very unusual situation, and staff tried to work with him on it but could not recommend approval of his plan. Planner Shearer noted that Mr. Garbers' property is in an MXD area. He then reviewed the surrounding area, noting that there is strip commercial on Oslo Road on the north side. West of Mr. Garbers is Tippin's Nursery, which is commercial and will stay commercial; then after Mr. Garbers' property is the trailer park and immediately east of Marie Simmons' property is the Oslo Road/27th Avenue node. There are three properties which would separate that Commercial and MXD from the node, and what staff is proposing, in order to avoid strip commercial, is that the Garbers and Simmons properties both be rezoned RM -3 multiple. Planner Shearer reported that the owners of the trailer park which is in between Mr. Garbers and Marie Simmons have just recently indicated they would be willing to have their zoning changed however their neighbors are treated. Administrator Wright inquired if this means they would abandon the trailer park, and Planner Shearer advised they can't see spending the money if their site plan might be revoked. Commissioner Bird asked since these parcels are sandwiched in between the commercial node and another commercial use, why we wouldn't go with a higher density than RM -3. Planner Shearer stated that staff would like to go with 6 units per acre. The problem is that Marie Simmons' property is LD -1, which is only 3 units per acre, and the other two prop- erties are in an MXD which has a maximum of 3 units per acre. He believed what staff needs to look at is changing the Land Use designation for those three properties. 14
