COUNCIL MINUTES July 23, 2007 APPROVED •89 (Item 6Aiii on this agenda) and has obtained site control for that realignment. The development would then 90 have two distinct phases but development of the property conveyed under this ordinance is designed to 91 stand on its own whether or not the realignment and additional redevelopment occur. Ms. Divine also 92 noted that language has been added to the development plan specifying what can be built. 93 94 Council Member Carlson moved that reading of the ordinance be dispensed with by unanimous consent. 95 Council Member O'Donnell seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously — Council Member Stoltz 96 absent. 97 98 When the council asked if ponding is included, Ms. Divine explained that would be determined based on 99 the feasibility study. 100 101 Council Member O'Donnell moved to approve second reading and passage of Ordinance No. 06-07, as 102 presented. Mayor Bergeson seconded the motion. 103 104 Council discussion of moving forward included an opinion that this would be a good development and 105 concern that the feasibility study should be done before the development is approved. Ms. Divine indicated 106 that the study would fall to the developer as an additional risk; Developer Dave Anderson added that their 107 goal is to run it as a parallel effort but a contingency on the plans would hamper their discussions with 108 potential locators. Other council comments included concern that economics are bad for the sale of the land 109 now and the lower price causes it to appear as if a business subsidy is involved. 110 111 Mr. Dave Anderson responded that Anderson Builders has taken on expenses to this point in a good faith 112 effort but moving construction of the development to 2008 would mean some type of new agreement. 113 114 Council Member Carlson offered a substitute motion that the matter be tabled to the next regular meeting. 115 Mayor Bergeson seconded the motion. The motion carried; Council Member Reinert recorded as voting 116 nay; Council Member Stoltz absent. 117 118 Sale of City Property — Consideration of Resolution No. 07-100, Approving a Preliminary 119 Development Agreement with Greg Anderson Development. 120 121 Council Member Reinert moved that the matter be tabled to the next regular meeting.
