COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 14, 2002 Councilmember Dahl stated she would be willing to vote in favor of the amended ordinance if phasing requirements were included. Councilmember Carlson noted both developers in attendance this evening have agreed to the phasing of their developments. City Attorney Hawkins noted Mr. Coyle has asked that 25 acres of the Uhde development be exempted from the moratorium and that the rest would be subject to the new regulations. He stated he would prefer the ordinance be amended to allow plats of up to 25 acres submitted by the established deadline to be exempted from the moratorium and the rest of the applications be withdrawn. He stated if the Council were to simply require the remainder of the applications to comply with the new regulations he was not certain this would be legally enforceable. Mayor Bergeson expressed concern for requiring the developers to withdraw their applications and reapply with a different number of acres. He noted if the amen- ordinance was approved this evening, this would not allow this opportunity. City Attorney Hams indicated the developers could amend their plats without being required to submit new aplicat s. Community Development Director Grochala suggested the qvitiric b allow either the complete applications to move forward as submitted or not allow any p r $` s of the applications to move forward.

Community Development Director roves the ordinance as amended, he would recommend that the Councilmember Carlson noted the new Comprehensive Plan discusses phasing large developments and the plats that would be covered by the amended ordinance include a total of 288 units. She believed the Council and the developers were in agreement with the phasing of those developments and asked how this can be accomplished for this year. Mayor Bergeson suggested that the new exemption in the ordinance be amended to limit the number of units or acres that can be developed in one year under that exemption. Mr. Coyle stated the preliminary plat submitted last Wednesday included a five phase process, which would begin with the requested 25 acres. He suggested that Mr. Weiland make this same type of commitment as well. 19
