Approval of the site plan is not an implied approval of signage. Any signs require a sign permit and must comply with the sign ordinance. 2. No additional exterior lighting shall be installed. 3. Proper building permits must be obtained prior to any construction and 1% of the construction costs must be put in escrow to insure completion of the project. Council Member Reinert seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 00 — 64, Adopt Assessment Roll, Twilight Acres ls` and 2nd Additions (3/5 Vote Required), John Powell — Staff reviewed a summary of recent action ding this matter noting the public hearing has been continued several times to gather addition, info tion Resident Poll #2 was sent out to 32 residents in the neighbor od. io ` n responses have been received (Council Members have received copies of each spy i e). used on the responses, the residents are generally opposed to the amount of the as ess ents, the project. An "acceptable" assessment amount would be limited to the increaser f their property that is consistent with • State Statute. However, based on the appraisal r by t City, these assessments are insufficient to cover the expected costs for the p ject a urrently proposed. City staff has evaluated an alternative d at would provide sanitary sewer service only and would minimize removal and restora . erv�ro dway. The estimated cost for this alternative would be much lower; but the bene p,to `ach operty would also be lower than that provided by installing both sanitary sewer a at- ain. However, the difference between the estimated benefit and costs would be smaller t ,.ssho all with the original project. City staff recommends pursuing the use of Co wunity D e opment Block Grant (CDBG) funds to cover the shortfall. In order to conclude the pro' - ss elated to the original project, staff recommended the City Council not adopt the proposed asses ent roll. However, to demonstrate the City's commitment to respond to the resident's needs, staff is requesting the resolution also include directing City staff to do the following: initiate a new project, focus only on sanitary sewer service, and pursue CDBG funding for the expected assessment shortfall. Resolution No. 00 — 64 includes these items. Council Member Reinert clarified that by adopting Resolution No. 00 — 64, the Council is not adopting the assessment roll. Mayor Bergeson advised a yea vote for the resolution is not adopting the assessment roll. The City will continue to work on revisions of the project. • Council Member Dahl moved to close the public hearing at 7:27 p.m. Council Member O'Donnell seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
