<br /> MINUTIJS <br /> CITY COUNCIL <br /> MARCH 24, 2010 <br /> found in Minnesota, which is 12,000 years. Montour felt that if that were <br /> the case there would have been a lot of other people involved in evaluating <br /> this area. <br /> 'fhe City Attorney indicated that if the property is not exempt from an <br /> EAW, then ordering an EAW is at the discretion of the City Council. hi <br /> that case the issue is whether or not the Council is convinced based on the <br /> evidence presented. He noted that given a petition signed by 25 <br /> individuals has not been presented, it was his position that the EAW issue <br /> is just not before the Council. The City Attorney recommended that the <br /> Council proceed with action on the Final Plat. <br /> Montour again stated that the consensus is that the EAW is a moot point, <br /> and indicated the Council would move forward with action on the Final <br /> Plat. He thanked Mr. Himmelbach for his comments. Himmelbach asked <br /> the Council to move foitivard with the Final plat including the condition <br /> that an EAW be ordered. <br /> The City Planner reviewed the Gervais Woods final plat indicated that <br /> staff is recommending approval subject to compliance with his <br /> recommendations as well as those of the City Engineer and the Parks & <br /> Recreation Commission.
