Plan July Page Commission M~tes 25, 1990 2 . exceed the minimum lot area required in the "GC" General Commercial District in which they are located. The City Council has stated, in its approval of site Plan Review #1157A for development of the Center, that any future development of the property may not take place until a separate Site Plan Review for such development is approved by the Council. It is not the City's or the developer's intent to further develop either lot, much of which is floodplain. Ms. Elwood explained that the Sewer District easements depicted on the resubdivision plat have changed since the original "Westover Subdivision" submittal in January, 1989. The Sewer District did not accept the easements as proposed in the original plat and all previous sewer easements have been vacated and recorded as shown on the current plat. Ms. Elwood had a development plan for the entire site should it help members review the proposal. Mr. Foxworth asked for clarification of the three lots which are to make up the Westover Center site. Ms. Elwood indicated Lot 1 on which the Aldi grocery store is now built, proposed Lot 2A on which the retail center is being constructed, and proposed Lot 2B which will most likely remain undeveloped. Mr. Safe asked why the Lot 2B would likely remain undeveloped. Ms. Elwood replied that most of Lot 2B is designated floodplain.

The Chairperson asked if City Planning Staff had any information on the progress of the City Council's proceedings. Ms. Elwood stated that the City Manager wished to inform the Commission that the Council had wanted to obtain a legal opinion as to whether designation of the building or the historical designation process would interfere with the City's interest in obtaining the building through eminent domain. Ms. Elwood stated that the City Manager apologized for not having resolved the issue to date, but believed the Plan Commission should move forward with its duty to consider the application by the terms prescribed in the ordinance. Ms. Elwood understood from the City Manager that the building owner had no opposition to the City obtaining the building by legal means; however, the issue of compensation would be reviewed judicially. Ms. Elwood also reviewed for members the Memorandum distributed in advance of the meeting which detailed the Commission's options in
