He 6 stated that the City has met with the Bank. Thuesen noted he had concerns on how the morato- 7 rium issue was presented. He noted his surprise about this issue being discussed at the meeting 8 and he would have appreciated additional time to prepare for the issue. 9 Hodson noted that he felt comfortable going forward with the moratorium and he would agree to 10 go forward with the ordinance. He had spoken with Staff and felt that he had the information 11 needed to make a decision. 12 Horst said that the moratorium would give the City some room to allow a specified process to 13 happen instead of the property being sold off in increments. The moratorium, he felt, would pro- 14 tect the City and would allow the experts.to do some planning and provide the City with some •15 feasibility. 16 Thuesen noted his understanding of Horst's comments; however,he felt that the re-visit of the 17 moratorium issue suddenly arose and he would have preferred some time for preparation. 18 Horst explained that he felt the moratorium would allow the planning process to take place. 19 Sparks noted that the Planning Commission had suggested a moratorium on the property. 20 Mornson noted for the Council that the moratorium issue had been discussed quite a bit, but 21 since the Hillcrest proposal was denied,he had several developers call him regarding the Apache 22 Plaza site and the Salvation Army site. Mornson was concerned that an application would be 23 received soon for one of those properties, and a moratorium would assist the City in planning. 24 The moratorium,he explained,would not keep the property from being sold. 25 Motion by Hodson to approve Ordinance 2000=010, and to waive reading nos. 1 and 2, an Ordi- 26 nance Relating to a Moratorium on Changes.in the Use of Properties Known as St. Anthony Vil- 27 lage Northwest Describing the 250 Acre Site Bounded by 27th Avenue NE on the South,the City 28 Corporate Limits on the North, Silver Lake Road on the East, and the Corporate Limits on the 29 West and Encompasses Properties Known as the Apache Plaza and the Salvation Army Camp. 30 Motion carried unanimously. •
