' • Council and Planning Commission Work Session, Dec. 19, 1974 -2 � that the entire area should be zoned to residential except �the south west corner of CR 15 and Blaine Ave. which should e left as B-1 including the Telephone Co. and A-1 Rental as originally proposed by the planning commission. It was � stressed that the entire Navarre area should never have been . developed for any commercial uses because of extreme traffic congestion in the area and because of the close proximity � of the commercial uses to the lake itself. It was noted that intense development of property in this area with the � resulting hard cover creates storm water run-off problems in that the pollutants on the ground that are generated by � these uses run directly into the lake instead of having an opportunity to be filtrated and purified by any marsh or � other natural purfication systems. • ' . i�ie members present then discussed the proposed rezoning of • the Tonka property and the Navarre Drive-In property to LR-1C-l. It was felt that all factors that had t�een previously discussed at the Planning Corrnnission meetings and the City Council meet- � ings were still valid and �varranted these rezonings. � 'I1ie discussion then shifted to the proposed rezoning ?�tAXtNELL BAY AI2L-'A of property in the �•9axwe1l Bay area that is presently � zoned B-2 and that would be rezoned to LR-1C-1. Playor �earles and the other members present reviewed some of the � factors they felt were relevant in the decision to rezone �that property. • l . There Tvas a need to protect the adjacent residential property to the E ast from the blighting influence of the present B-2 ma.rina operations. � '. It was necessary to protect the residential properties across the street from the area to be rezoned from the ��lighting influences of any expanded B-2 marina operation. • 3. It was noted that the two other marinas on A7axwe1l Bay border on marinas and are not contiguous to a major � residential area as is the North Shore Tlarina and as would i any marina be that was developed in the B-2 property that. is presently being used for residential purposes. 4. It was noted tha.t the other two marinas on A-laxwell Bay, �vhich would not be rezoned, were located on a narrow penin- sula type forr.lation and therefore, their presence does not � have the same blighting effect on the neighborhood as the North Shore �larina does or as any new operation on � a t�ie vacant B-2 area would have on the residential areas . because these B-2 areas to be rezoned are not on such a narro�v per.insula. � � � s ♦
