Councilmember O'Donnell seconded the motion. Councilmember Dahl stated the City has a 60 -day rule and asked if that time limit is on the rezoning and/or the site and building review CUPs. City Attorney Hawkins stated his opinion that it is on the rezoning request. Community Development Director Grochala stated the site and building review is part of the rezoning action. Councilmember Carlson stated her concerns tonight related to landscaping and she has been assured that will be addressed by staff. Community Development Director Grochala stated that is correct. Councilmember Carlson explained that the issue of rezoning is part of the City's Comprehensive Plan that was also approved by the Metropolitan Council. The Council's consideration of the rezoning request is part of that law and has been worked on by some since 1997. She stated the Council started its review in 1999 and did not change that until Rockne Goertz asked to change some of the multi- family to single-family which placed single-family directly across the road from commercial. She noted that issue will be addressed by the landscaping. Councilmember Carlson noted that the Council is following the Comprehensive Plan. Councilmember Carlson stated Condition #5 will address the issue of resolving the traffic issue. She stated she thinks the Council has the assurance that it will be paid for without City funds but the maximum would be $75,000 which would be temporary until collected from Bruggeman. She stated she is comfortable this will be done. Councilmember Carlson stated her mind was undecided at the beginning of the meeting but she will support the motion after the discussion, answers, and agreements that have been set forth. Councilmember Dahl asked if the Council needs to amend the ordinance that there would be no cost to the City. City Attorney Hawkins stated his opinion that should not be in the ordinance and while there has been conversations that there may be some cost, it is understood that will not be the case. Councilmember Reinert stated a roadblock may be approval by Anoka County and asked if this or the next consideration should be contingent upon approval by Anoka County. Mayor Bergeson stated that is not a concern for him because the design being worked from is the one • received from Anoka County. He stated this is much different than other discussions about Birch 25
