CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br /> APPROVED <br /> 133 better than the previous proposal, he is okay with dedicating retail space, and although he <br /> 134 doesn't favor the three stories he understands the realities of development. <br /> 135 Councilmember Ruhland concurred. <br /> 136 <br /> 137 Mayor Rafferty said he sees a dramatic improvement from what was brought forward <br /> 138 previously. Points important to him are being hit. <br /> 139 <br /> 140 Mr. Marco noted that tax increment financing is a subject that he'd also appreciate <br /> 141 discussing. Mayor Rafferty responded that he doesn't have enough information to <br /> 142 discuss that at this time; he understands he will be hearing more about elements such as <br /> 143 needed cleanup. Director Grochala noted that the residential property acquisition costs <br /> 144 compared with the value of the same land for this development may be a pressure point. <br /> 145 Mr. Marco said they could put together a list of eligible costs for counsel and council <br /> 146 consideration. The estimated development cost of this project is estimated at over$30 <br /> 147 million. <br /> 148 <br /> 149 The developer asked for some clarification on process moving forward. The council <br /> 150 suggested that moving in a standard fashion, including the advisory board process, is <br /> 151 envisioned. <br /> 152 4. Villas on Vicky—City Planner Larsen reviewed a PowerPoint presentation that <br /> 153 included information on the following: <br /> 154 - Previous council discussion on a concept plan(details included in staff report, <br /> 155 including PUD flexibility); <br /> 156 - PUD Concept Plan Map—reviewed; <br /> 157 - Staff Comments—not negative on villa product; PUD needs to be give/take and what's <br /> 158 the public value; open space discussion. <br /> 159 <br /> 160 Ms. Larsen noted that the developer is looking for more direction and commentary from <br /> 161 the council. She recalled that the council was going to look at other products done by this <br /> 162 developer. <br /> 163 <br /> 164 The developer showed a new paper plan proposing 13 units with one exit onto the new <br /> 165 Vicky. Lots are 65 feet wide at the setbacks; it includes a 28 foot wide private road. <br /> 166 <br /> 167 Planner Larsen noted that staff has not seen or reviewed the new proposal but from what <br /> 168 she understands, it would not meet the City's density requirements (requiring 4—6 per <br /> 169 acres). <br /> 170 <br /> 171 Mayor Rafferty asked the developer if there could be more information on meeting <br /> 172 density requirements. The developer then showed a paper plan with 20 units. <br /> 173 <br /> 174 Councilmember Lyden spoke in favor of the lesser units;he doesn't want to get hung up <br /> 175 on the number but would like to focus on creating a nice neighborhood. <br /> 176 <br /> 4 <br />
