City Council meeting of August 7, 2006 Page 6 approval of 11 lots. This item was tabled by the Council at the developer's request, and was reconsidered by the Council at its July 5, 2006 meeting. CD Director Bryan Bear provided four options for Council consideration, one of which was to accept the applicant's request for an additional 90 -day review period extension. Council member Puleo suggested a fifth option, which was to approve the preliminary plat as originally requested with 12 lots. Other Council members wanted more discussion with the developer and also cited possible changes to the Rural Preservation ordinance, which is being reviewed by the Planning Commission. Since that meeting, the developer submitted a letter requesting approval of the plat at the July 17, 2006 Council meeting. Council agreed that staff should be allowed time to contact the Minnesota Land Trust to determine their specific involvement in the development. This issue was tabled at the Council's July 17, 2006 meeting in order to allow City staff to work with the developer to clarify issues regarding preservation of the open space and work with the Minnesota Land Trust. City Planner Kendra Lindahl provided a PowerPoint recap of the project and options available to Council.
