COUNCIL MINUTES May 13, 2013 APPROVED 136 137 City Planner Larsen explained that the project is a residential subdivision project that originally came 138 to the city in 2006 proposed by Integra Homes. With the economic downturn, the project was not 139 developed as planned but has not been picked up by a different developer, Schwieters Investments of 140 Lino Lakes, LLC. This is a conservation development with 31 lots and six outlots. Resolution No. 141 13 -56 would amend the 2006 resolution that approved the preliminary PUD to change the language 142 regarding maintenance of rain gardens since it has been determined that the small rain gardens 143 wouldn't work well. Mayor Reinert confirmed that the rain garden agreement included a fund set up 144 to cover maintenance costs; what is the status of that fund? Ms. Larsen explained that there was no 145 money in the fund at this point. Mayor Reinert noted the location of the development (off Holly 146 Drive) and lauded the addition of this conservation development. The mayor did ask about the impact 147 of a future development that could cause new residents to drive through this area; he'd like to see that 148 dealt with up front. Staff indicated that a sign would be installed about any new development. 149 150 Council Member Roeser moved to approve Resolution No. 13 -56 as presented. Council Member 151 O'Donnell seconded the motion. Motion carried on a unanimous voice vote. 152 153 City Planner Larsen then explained that Resolution No. 13 -57 relates to the final plan/final plat for the 154 development. She indicated the plans on an overhead projection. She pointed out the amenities 155 (trails, conservation areas). There will eventually be a full conservation management plan associated 156 with the development. The Planning and Zoning Board recommends approval of the resolution which 157 includes many of the expectations and requirements attached to the approval. Council Member X158 Roeser asked if the city has received any comments from neighbors to the development. Community 159 Development Director Grochala responded that the preliminary approval in 2006 included lots of 160 discussion with the neighborhood. The main issue was about grading and hauling so that will receive 161 staff attention. 162 163 Council Member Roeser moved to approve Resolution No. 13 -57 as presented. Council Member 164 O'Donnell seconded the motion. Motion carried on a unanimous voice vote. 165 166 6C) Main Street Shoppes 167 168 i.
