The overall project will include road and utility improvements. The total cost for the <br />improvements is estimated to be $1.6 million. <br />There were general questions from Council regarding the developer agreement. <br />MOTION: Council Member Bloyer moved TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2015-33, APPROVING THE <br />DEVELOPERS AGREEMENT FOR HUNTERS CROSSING 2ND ADDITION. Mayor Pearson seconded the <br />motion. MOTION PASSED 5-0. <br />ITEM 7: VILLAGE PRESERVE FINAL PLAT; RESOLUTION NO. 2015-34. <br />Community Development Director Klatt presented the Village Preserve Final Plat, which has been submitted by <br />Gonyea. This is the first phase of a 91 unit residential subdivision, which is slightly lower than the preliminary plat. <br />Phase 1 is comprised of 25.64 acres and 46 single family lots. All lots would be accessed from Lake Elmo Avenue. <br />Mr. Klatt also outlined the 11 conditions of approval as recommended by staff. <br />Council Member Lundgren asked about the developer agreement and why it is not also being brought to council at <br />this time. Community Development Director Klatt stated that there are still some issues being worked out. At this <br />time, staff is comfortable moving the plat forward without the developer agreement. Having the developer <br />agreement executed is one of the 11 conditions of approval before the plat can be recorded. <br />Council Member Fliflet asked if we have 42nd Street elsewhere in the city. It was indicated that there is another 42nd <br />Street in the city. There was discussion about what to rename a numbered street. <br />MOTION: Council Member Lundgren moved TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2015-34, APPROVING THE <br />FINAL PLAT FOR THE FIRST PHASE OF THE VILLAGE PRESERVE RESIDENTIAL <br />SUBDIVISION WITH 11 CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL AND CHANGING THE NAME OF 42ND <br />STREET.
