- CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION November 1, 2010 APPROVED 180 7. Century Farms North 5th Addition PUD amendment-Planner Smyser recalled 181 that the Century Farms North development was planned with and includes several types of 182 housing. The homes that haven't been built there under the original plans are some detached 183 townhomes(included in an association). The developer would like to convert those lots into 184 single family(no association). Mr. Smyser reviewed the re-plating proposal. There would 185 be no increase in the number of dwelling units. There are some technical/legal issues that 186 would have to be worked out and, if that can occur, staff and the Planning and Zoning Board 187 do not have a problem with the change; council's opinion is sought. 188 189 Gary Uhde, developer,responded to the council's questions. The basic design and density 190 would remain the same. He sees this as the way to go with the economy. 191 192 The council recognized the difficulty of selling townhomes in the current market. The 193 council generally concurs that it is a good idea to move on the request if it is 194 technically/legally possible. Staff will also make sure the owner's association involved is 195 aware of the proposal. 196 197 Review Regular Agenda—The council reviewed the process anticipated for the dangerous 198 dog hearing. The council requested that staff check with the League of Minnesota Cities(the 199 city's insurance carrier) on liability. 200 201 Other- Council Member Roeser urged other council members to sign up to receive their 202 Public Safety Department newsletter on line. 203 204 The meeting was adjourned at 10:00 p.m. 205 206 These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at the regular Council meeting held on 207 November 22, 2010. 208 209 210 21 • A 212 I •.1 = Bartell, City erk Jeff ' i - Mayor 213 5
