MINUTES CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 26, 2007 Himmelbach felt that the City was involved given the City approved Mr. Richie's building plans. Allan asked that the developer do whatever he can reasonably do to clean up this area when working on the plat. Keis again stated that he was uncomfortable with the density of the development. Blesener agreed, but pointed out that the Preliminary Plat as proposed meets the City's code requirements. Blesener stated that he personally would like to see approximately two fewer lots.
