Council Member Flaherty indicated that he feels 10% park dedication fee is fair but he is really concerned that this property will be cleared and the City will be waiting for it to develop. He then said he will not support this. Director Ericson indicated Staff will work with the Developer to negotiate phased grading of the site to eliminate the clear cutting of the site. City Administrator Ulrich suggested that a condition could be suggested that a phasing be required for the clearing of the property. MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Stigney. To Add a Requirement for the Developer to Submit a Phasing Plan for Clearing the Vegetation from the Property. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. Mayor Marty indicated that New Brighton is developing hundreds of condos right now so this area of the City is saturated with them. He then said that those condos have a lake view. He further said that he feels that this takes a marketable property and takes out the middle section limiting any redevelopment potential for the area. Ayes - 3 Nays - 2(Flaherty/Many) Motion carried. C.
