62189.2 <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Mark E. Bernhardson, City Administrato <br />DATS: June 21, 1989 <br />SUBJECT: Navarre Redevelopment <br />nxMai MEEim <br />JUN 28 1989 <br />CITY OF OftOHiO <br />ATTACHMENTS: A. Handouts From June 1, 1989 Meeting <br />ISSUE - Determine what direction that the Council desires to take <br />on this issue. <br />INTRODUCTION - At the meeting that was held regarding the Navarre <br />redevelopment a presentation was made as to problems and <br />possibilities together with discussing the range of alternatives <br />the City could undertake and a range of alternatives for <br />potential master planning or redevelopment. On behalf of the <br />staff I would like to apologize for the breakdown in <br />communications with the Planning Commission and others who were <br />not fully informed of the meeting time and place. <br />As you may be aware interested property owners were in attendance <br />at that meeting indicating some of their needs and desires <br />regarding the area. In addition City staff has been approached <br />by a private development firm who has an interest in posplble <br />redevelopment on the south side of County 15. <br />DISCUSSION - As noted there is a growing interest in this area, <br />not only from the City, but also from people currently in the <br />area and others from outside the area. <br />As discussed on the 1st the range of alternatives include: <br />A. Beautification - "Spruce up" the area in an effort to <br />promote the attractiveness of the area and therefore the <br />business. The level of involvement in helping implement <br />the Westonka Beautification Plan maybe an appropriate <br />avenue at this level of involvement. <br />B. Master Planning/Comprehensive Plan amendment - The <br />current comprehensive plan an3~ zonlng for the area <br />reflects what was in place at the time it was created. <br />As noted in the attachments this is a hedge podge of <br />zoning uses and that longterm there may be a more <br />desireable land utilization in the area. One of the <br />alternatives would be to undertake a master planning of <br />the area to designate what the City would like to see in <br />that area as land uses and as changes come along that <br />they would need to fit into that plan. <br />C. Participation and Redevelopment - A third alternative <br />would be to actuaTTy participate in redevelopment either <br />. *>
