• will change anything because the details have not yet been discussed. Council Member O'Donnell inquired about any risk of the grant if an endorsement is delayed. The Economic Development Assistant stated the reason the standards were put on this agenda is because an agreement is needed from the Council as soon as possible. The final grant application is due September 11, 2000. The issue at stake is whether or not this Council endorses the idea and concepts of the Town Center. Council Member Carlson stated a lot of work has been put into the document by staff and the Planning and Zoning Board. She stated she has remaining issues that she would like to discuss at the next Council work session. Council Member Reinert moved to continue Town Center Development Standards Endorsement to the August 28, 2000, Council meeting. Council Member Dahl seconded the motion. Council Member Carlson expressed the following concerns regarding the standards: 1. Putting standards on property the City does not own. The City has been negotiating with property owners for the past 2 -1 years. She stated she would like to hear from the property owners again regarding their opinion of the standards. The area has prime commercial property and the application showed 18.3 acres of housing on that property. 2. The grant money of $1.5 million sounds like a lot of money. However, the City has put a lot of money into the project. She stated she wants details on financing and if the grant will be enough to leverage the project. She stated she does not want to go to the taxpayers. 3. Extending Apollo as an "L" and putting traffic on 77th Street needs more discussion relating to traffic hours. 4. Having a service station food store on Apollo Drive. There is a service station food store already in the City that has been here and invested a lot of money. The established business would be put at a disadvantage. Mayor Bergeson stated that all of Council Member Carlson's concerns need to be considered but are not part of this motion. The City almost always has proposed zoning for property it does not own. Motion carried with Mayor Bergeson voting no. Final Plat, Clearwater Creek 4th Addition (revised) (3/5 Vote Required), Jeff Smyser - Staff advised the City Council approved the final plat for Clearwater Creek 4th Addition on July 24, 2000. There is a revision to that final plat. The revision is necessary because of the grade elevations on one lot where an existing home sits. With the creation of new lots, the driveway location must change for this existing house. This change in driveway location necessitates a change to the lot line. This in turn requires moving the lot lines for five (5) other lots. This situation affects Lots 1 -6, Block 3. Staff referred to a drawing showing those lots on the July 24, 2000, plat, the revised August 8, 2000, plat, and a comparison of the two (2).
