MINUTES CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 26, 2007 The City Adminish•ator indicated that written findings of fact should be drafted as the basis of denial of the Preliminary Plat. Allan noted that the area is environmentally sensitive, should be carefully developed with less density. Allan stated that she was not happy with the length of the cul-de- sac, but agreed that a stub road to the east was necessary. Montour agreed that the density was too high, and was concerned about what Maplewood would do with the three lots proposed in their city. Montour felt the lot sizes proposed were out-of-character for the area. Keis agreed with the concerns about density and lot size, and added his concern for tree preservation. He noted that cul-de-sac length is somewhat depending on what Maplewood does with the three lots proposed in their city. Blesener noted that his motion proposed that if Maplewood did not approve the three lots proposed in that City, that the cul-de-sac would have to be shortened to the point where the stub road is proposed to the east. The City Attorney recommended that further action be fabled until the next meeting so that staff can put together written findings of fact on which to base a denial.
