City Council Regular Meeting Minutes <br /> August 23, 2005 <br /> Page 10 <br /> I Mayor Faust said that the reason there is a Developer's Agreement is because it is adversarial by <br /> 2 nature. He stated that we have not wasted time; they have. He said he is not willing to settle. <br /> 3 He added that it is a 6,000 square foot parcel by the Developer's Agreement and not 4,500 <br /> 4 square feet. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Councilmember Stille said we could put the project back out there. The market may dictate that <br /> 7 a restaurant does not belong on that site. He said he would like to see what the market says. <br /> 8 <br /> 9 Councilmember Horst said the fact that no one else wants to put a restaurant on that site doesn't <br /> 10 mean a restaurant doesn't belong there. It means to him that no one wants a 4,500 square foot <br /> 11 parcel. He said we have gone far down the road with this group; let them finish their work. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Motion by Councihnember Horst, seconded by Councilmember Gray, to adopt Resolution 05- <br /> 14 069, re: Amendment to the Development Agreement between City of St. Anthony and Amcon, <br /> 15 LLC. with payment of$50,000 to the City upon issuance of a permit. <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Councilmember Thuesen requested clarification of the issue in front of them. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Mr. Tucci explained the $50,000 payment is upon execution of the amendment. He said they <br /> 20 would have approximately six weeks to file for a building permit and then eight months from the <br /> 21 approval of the permit to get the building done. If this is approved tonight, he said they are ready <br /> 22 to start the plans tomorrow. <br /> 23 <br /> 24 Councilmember Horst asked if he was publicly stating that should this Developer's Agreement <br /> 25 be amended, he will lease this and it will work out. Mr. Peterson confirmed it will work out. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Mr. Mornson suggested specific dates be included in the Developer's Agreement. He reminded <br /> 28 the Council and the applicants that they must apply for a liquor license. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Councilmember Horst suggested removing the "whereas"point on the Resolution regarding the <br /> 31 pull tab operations. This point is in the Developer's Agreement. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 Councilmember Stille raised the issue of the sixth"whereas"point regarding the issuance of <br /> 34 issuance of a building permit. Mr. Gilligan stated the building must have a certificate of <br /> 35 occupancy by June 1, 2006 and the Resolution should be changed to reflect this. <br /> 36 <br /> 37 Ayes—3, Nays—2 (Stille and Mayor Faust).
