MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 27, 2003 Dayspring will be able to comply with the requirements of the Watershed. However, Dayspring has not yet submitted final plans so that the Watershed can fully verify compliance. Blesener asked if the plans that the Watershed has been reviewing are different from what the Council has before it. The City Administrator answered affirmatively. Dayspring has submitted revised plans to the Watershed. This occurred after the City had settlement discussions with Dayspring. These new plans have not been received by the City. Fahey noted the developer has indicated a willingness to waive the City's 60-day review period, but questioned what the point would be in tabling action on the proposed Final Plat. Fahey fizrther noted the number of adjacent property owners who are present at this evening's hearing and who have been present at numerous previous meetings. Fahey expressed concern with the developer's 4:38 p.m. request today to table action once again. Fahey noted City staff's recommendations for denial of the Final Plat due to a significant number of deficiencies with the Final Plat as well as the significant differences in the Final Plat from the approved Preliminary Plat. One of these differences is the addition of substantial retaining walls within the plat as well as a guardrail along the proposed residential street. Fahey indicated that the grade changes that have occurred from what was approved as part of the Preliminary Plat result in a substantial amount of fill needed for this site. Fahey felt that the changes shown in the proposed Final Plat were just too significant from the approved Preliminary Plat. Fahey indicated that he is sorry that the developer did not bring his support staff with him this evening, but that was not the City's concern. Anderson's motion died for lack of a second, with Anderson also indicating that he withdrew his motion. The City Attorney noted that in response to the City Administrator's August 131' letter to Dayspring, Dayspring responded on August 20, 2003 indicated that they are moving forward with their plat as proposed, submitted, and amended. In that letter Dayspring also indicated their feeling that they had met the necessary planning and engineering conditions for approval and look forward to an approval at the next Council meeting (August 27, 2003). Blesener asked if the Final Plat is denied this evening, if there was a time limit before it could be resubmitted. The City Attorney replied that there is no time limit for submitting a new plan for consideration. Anderson noted, however, that the developer would start over at the beginning of the
