COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 27, 2001 City Planner Smyser stated the Planning and Zoning Board did recommend denial. However, the applicant does have the right to bring the application to Council. Options were discussed with the developer and he chose to make some changes and present it to the City Council. Council Member Carlson stated the Planning and Zoning Board would have liked to work with the developer to solve some of their issues. Now there is a plat with only one change to it. She stated she is concerned about doing this in the future and overriding the Planning and Zoning Board. City Planner Smyser stated that is the chance the developer takes. The Planning and Zoning Board denied the application outright. The developer has the option to bring it to the Council. Council Member Carlson stated she understood that the developer was given the option to come back to the Planning and Zoning Board. The developer chose not to do that. Mayor Bergeson stated when this was reviewed by the Planning and Zonin d Board, one part did not conform to the ordinance. He asked if that has been corrected. City P n� ' yser advised that was corrected because one lot was changed.
