APPROVED AS AMENDEtl FEBRUARY 20, 2007 9. PLANNING, LAND USE & ZONING A. Whistling Valley West Concept Plan & Conditional Use Permit (CUP) The Consultant Planner updated the Council on the Whistling Valley West Concept Plan and CUP on the four main questions asked at the January 16, 2007, Council meeting: Does the proposal adhere to the current Comprehensive Plan? What is the appropriate way to administer this development if the City is interested? Was the 3`d Addition planned as part of Phase I and 1I? What development layout would create OP that merits the required protection of a qualified third party easement holder, such as the Minnesota Land Trust? The Planning Commission has not yet reviewed the three new concept plans being shown at this meeting, but generally believed development of the parcel as an OP neighborhood is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and preferable for this parcel. Council discussed the three new conceptual designs presented and the number of lots and determined Concept 3 is most compatible with the existing phases of Whistling Valley and compatible with possible development to the north and west. They requested the developer to replace a large temporary turn around and replace it with a temporary hammerhead design, duplicating Whistling Valley Phase I design, and to donate an easement to the Land Trust for designated Open Space for this parcel. M/S/P DeLapp/Smith — to direct the Consulting Planner to prepare a resolution approving the Whistling Valley West Concept Plan 3B dated February 1, 2007 and received February 6, 2007 as presented, and Conditional Use Permit proposed by the developer who previously completed an adjacent OP development, consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. (Motion passed 5-0) B. Resolution No 2007-013• Amendment to CDBG Contract Between Washington County and the City The Assistant Planner reported that the City and Washington County have been working on the Cimarron Neighborhood Gas Service Inspection and Rehabilitation Project since October 2004. There is approximately $50,000 left to the grant, and a second amendment is being proposed for the Community Development Block Grant Subgrantee Agreement (CDBG) that extends the term of the existing agreement. M/S/P Johnson/Smith — to adopt Resolution No. 2007-013, approving Amendment 92 to Contract #3001 regarding CDBG funding and scheduling for the Cimarron Gas Service CDBG Project. (Motion passed 5-0) C. Resolution No 2007-014• Amendment to the September 15, 2005 Professional Services Agreement with Molly M. Krakowski The Assistant Planner has provided the Council with a proposed contract from Ms. Krakowski for Professional Services in 2007. The City has previously contracted with Consultant Molly K. Krakowski for income eligibility verifications during 2005 and 2006 regarding the CDBG project in the Cimarron neighborhood. Her work has been timely and complete and the City anticipates that would continue with her income verification services in 2007. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 6, 2007
