Pearson stated that the area would be mixed use, with a neighborhood shopping center.
Annette Hinrichs questioned Pearson on exactly what wouldbe in the center.
Pearson stated there would be retail shops, a restaurant; and something on a spa
type. Pearson stated that the retail shops would be more of a specialty type
retail shop.
Pearson stated that this is a prime corner, and would add greatly to the city.
The Commission stated that they have no problem with the concept, but the annexation
would create an enclave.
Pearson stated that it would be at least 2 years before the center was off and running,
and by then there would probably not be an enclave.
Don Sharp stated the Commission was concerned with the enclave it would create, not
the merits of commercial development
Rick Orton stated that this would leave a very large enclave, and the City just finished
forced annexations to clean up enclaves and open spaces in the City, at City expense.

Annette Hinrichs stated she felt the concept was good,. but it would create an enclave.
Pearson is concerned with someone else having-_the same idea, and he would lose
his chance.
Rick Orton suggested that the Commission table Pearson's request in leiu of a
resoultion on the enclave situation. Orton stated he understands it is Pearson's
idea, and he should have first chance atit.

surrounding land come in for annexation.

enclaves in the city, and they do not want to create another enclave.
