COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 22, 2003 APPROVED 474 Councilmember Reinert stated that using Councilmember Carlson's analogy, he has higher standards 41)475 for his guests. He stated they are rezoning in this motion, not voting on the plat, but with this 476 substandard development with its substandard garages and substandard fascia and substandard 477 setbacks, and with not having studies on the traffic and additional developments in Stoneybrook and 478 others, he believes 152 units is a bad move. He indicated they will end up with temporary street 479 lights and a makeshift situation, and he is completely against the project. He believes it is a big 480 mistake. 481 482 Councilmember Carlson noted the Planning and Zoning Board and the Environmental Board both 483 passed the project, and she has not heard any talk about subsidized housing or affordable housing, so 484 while everyone has their own standards, she does not think the project will be shabby. 485 486 Councilmember Dahl indicated she has struggled with this also, and feels both Councilmember 487 Carlson and Councilmember Reinert have good arguments, so she is still struggling now. She 488 appreciates the fact that whether her fellow Council members are in the minority or not they stand up 489 for what they believe in. 490 491 Councilmember Reinert expressed that the developers have not really cared about the density 492 discussions; they are here to put up as many cheap houses as they can and move on. 493 494 Councilmember Dahl stated she appreciates that the developer called her and asked her opinion, and 495 she will give them credit for that. She indicated even if there were only two City Councilmembers to 496 give suggestions on the plat, she believes they have tried to work with the City and are doing this ift497 project according to the Comprehensive Plan. W498 499 Councilmember Carlson voted yea. Councilmember O'Donnell voted yea. Councilmember Dahl 500 voted nay. Councilmember Reinert voted nay. Mayor Bergeson voted yea. 501 502 Motion carried unanimously. 503 504 iii. Consideration of Resolution No. 03-142, Preliminary Plat/PUD Development Plan 505 506 City Planner Smyser reviewed the Staff report, indicating condition #4 should read as in the amended 507 memo, not the language in the resolution. He noted an additional change should be made to the 508 phasing plan, with 50 units under phase three rather than 51 units. He stated as to the units on Ware 509 Road, the developer would prefer the three -unit structures, but would be willing to go with twin 510 homes if the Council prefers. 511 512 Councilmember Carlson moved to adopt Resolution No. 03-142 approving a preliminary plat / 513 planned unit development plan for Miller's Crossroads with the following conditions: 514 515 1. Developer must construct or participate in the improvements to Ware Road, Birch Street, and 516 Hodgson Road, as appropriate, including traffic signals at Birch and Hodgson intersection. 517 Specific costs and participation shall be determined prior to City Council review of a final 518 plat. 519 2. It must be verified that the proposed right-of-way dedications are adequate to accommodate 520 the ultimate SCAH 49 roadway improvements prior to City Council approval. 11
