CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION January 27, 2014 DRAFT 2 at the heart of the matter. The council discussed the involvement of state legislators and 45 how that could be helpful. 46 47 6A) Marshan Meadows Second Addition – City Planner Larsen reviewed the reques t 48 before the council to approve a variance from the Shoreland Overla y District, a 49 preliminary and final plat (already done once in the past but not recorded), and a 50 development agreement for a one property development. The lot is being parceled off by 51 the property owner. She indicated on a map the proposed location of a home on the new 52 lot, indicating that the variance is appropriate because it is necessary due to outdated 53 language in the city code. The Planning and Zoning Board does recommend approval of 54 the variance and plat (they do not consider the development agr eement). There is some 55 concern in the neighborhood about a five foot additional allowance on the lot but it is 56 appropriate under the city regulations. Council Member Rafferty indicated that he’d 57 prefer that the restrictions be the same as for other hom es in the area, however, he 58 understands staff’s explanation of that situation. 59 60 6B) 21 st Avenue Street and Utility Improvements – City Engineer Wedel showed the 61 project area on a map and indicated that the project has been under consideration for a 62 couple of years and will facilitate the Park and Ride planned for the area. With a pre -63 agreement for costs in place, no feasibility study is needed. A joint powers agreement 64 with the City of Centerville is also in place since the roadway splits the two cities. He 65 said that staff is ready to move forward on the project. When Council Member Stoesz 66 asked if trails will be included, Mr. Wedel said they will be included in the street right of 67 way. Action is also requested on the purchase of wetland mitigation cre dits as required 68 and a notice of intent to bond. 69 70 The meeting was adjourned at 6:25 p.m. 71 72 These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at the regular Council meeting held on 73 February 10, 2014 . 74 75 76 77 78 Julianne Bartell, City Clerk J eff Reinert , Mayor 79 80
