• • • COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 24, 1997 Council Member Bergeson addressed the City Attorney as to who needs to bring up a reconsideration of a prior motion. Mr. Hawkins replied that it could only be done by a prevailing member, so in this case either Council Member Bergeson or Neal. Council Member Kuether said she does not want to kill the project if there is a chance that design issues could be worked out to her satisfaction. She stated she would be willing to vote yes on the first reading as long as, according to Mr. Hawkins, she has the ability to vote no on the second reading if the changes do not meet her expectations. Mr. Hawkins verified the accuracy of this statement. Council Member Kuether moved to rescind the action of the Council to refer Ordinance No. 05 - 97 to staff for further consideration. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried with Council Member Lyden voting no. Council Member Kuether asked whether the County will approve the access to County Road 23. Mr. Ahrens said they have already responded to that issue. Although they would prefer to see the access off of 77th Street, they realize that it is not practical and will allow access off Lake Drive. The access would be aligned with the driveway across the street so there are no staggered intersections. Council Member Kuether asked if it would have a turning lane. Mr. Ahrens replied that he does not believe the volume of traffic would warrant one. Council Member Kuether moved to approve the FIRST READING of Ordinance No. 05 - 97 with the recommendations from the Planning and Zoning and that no lighting be allowed. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried with Council Member Lyden voting no. Council Member Kuether moved to table the interim use permit until the April 28, 1997. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of MUSA Land Exchange, I-35E/County Road #14 (Main Street), Gerald Rehbein (4/5th Vote) - Mr. Brixius explained that Gerald Rehbein, on behalf of R&R Leasing, has requested a MUSA amendment to remove an 18.08 acre parcel located to the northeast quadrant of County Road 14 (Main Street) and 24th Avenue, east of Interstate 35E, from the MUSA in exchange for placing a 22.12 acre parcel located to the southwest quadrant of Interstate 35E/County Road 14 interchange within the MUSA. He stated that both properties are owned by the applicant. The parcel to the southwest of the I-35E/County Road 14 interchange was within MUSA at one time. However, changes to the MUSA over time removed the parcel from the current MUSA boundaries. Mr. Brixius stated the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of the MUSA Land Exchange with the conditions outlined in the Staff Report dated March 6, 1997. Mr. Schumacher clarified this would be a permanent exchange, not temporary. Mr. Wessel confirmed this statement. PAGE 12
