non-retail commercial. The property is owned by members of the Johnson family.
Eslick said he would prefer that it not be commercial since it is surrounded by
residential. If it is to be commercial would need to be low level office to be
compatible and it would require substantial buffering. He suggested that it
would be desirable to consolidate it with the adjoining 8.5 acres to permit a
more substantial residential development and avoid individual entrances. Other
Panel members concurred with Eslick’s suggestions. Noethlich invited Ms.
Montague to return to the Panel when she has more details, including a list of
proposed uses.
