COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 14, 2000 Council Member Carlson asked if the same standards will apply through the north/east and south/east quadrants. Staff advised at this point the same standards will apply. Council Member Dahl stated the Town Center standards received from the Planning and Zoning Board and the copy she received in her Council packer are different. Staff indicated repeatedly at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting that the language can be revised. She asked if the City is allowed to change the mixed use or compact development plan or just the language. She asked how far the changes can go.

Council Member Dahl asked if that can be changed if the Council or staff feels it should. Staff has indicated the zoning can be changed. She asked if the City is restricted in changing the zoning. Staff advised the reason behind the Town Center is to change it to se. If the City decides not to do so, there is no Town Center and the area will be left Mayor Bergeson stated there are a lot of details to fill in r ti o th oncept plan. The motion does give a lot of flexibility to work on the details. The City Administrator asked if the Council has to residential, commercial and industrial use.

Nothing is being locked in e discussed in much further detail and formally adopted by Council Member Reinert s ges(ed the endorsement be continued to allow time for further review. The Planning and Zoning B d is not looking at it until September 2000. He stated the best practice is for the Council to pass something that doesn't need to be changes. Mayor Bergeson stated the changes that are being discussed are details in the Design Standards. The motion is only an endorsement of the concept of having design standards. He stated that he does not believe continuing will change anything because the details have not yet been discussed. Council Member O'Donnell inquired about any risk of the grant if an endorsement is delayed. The Economic Development Assistant stated the reason the standards were put on this agenda is because an agreement is needed from the Council as soon as possible. The final grant application is due September 11, 2000. The issue at stake is whether or not this Council endorses the idea and concepts of the Town Center. 12 COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 14, 2000 Council Member Carlson stated a lot of work has been put into the document by staff and the Planning and Zoning Board. She stated she has remaining issues that she would like to discuss at the next Council work session.

Council Member Carlson expressed the following concerns regarding the standards: 1. Putting standards on property the City does not own. The City has been negotiating with property owners for the past 2-1/2 years. She stated she would like to hear from the property owners again regarding their opinion of the standards. The area has prime commercial property and the application showed 18.3 acres of housing on that property. The grant money of $1.5 million sounds like a lot o one However, the City has put a lot of money into the project. She stated s w�A, det� is on financing and if the grant will be enough to leverage the project. e s ed;- does not want to go to the taxpayers. 3. Extending Apollo as an "L" and putt relating to traffic hours. on '�7`h Street needs more discussion 4. Having a service station foo • x o� A p.11o Drive.

Final Plat, Clearwater Cre 4th Addition (revised) (3/5 Vote Required), Jeff Smyser — Staff advised the City Council approved the final plat for Clearwater Creek 4th Addition on July 24, 2000. There is a revision to that final plat. The revision is necessary because of the grade elevations on one lot where an existing home sits.

This in turn requires moving the lot lines for five (5) other lots. This situation affects Lots 1-6, Block 3.
