The developer verbally agreed to a 120 -day extension for the City to consider this project. Barnes made motion, Stoltzman seconded, to deny the PUD of Oneka Lake View South, and to allow the developer to resubmit the plan directly to the Council as a request for a Special Use Permit. All aye. Motion Carried. FRANCEWS MEADOWS The Council received a request from Scott Montgomery and Paul Kelliher, developers of the proposed Francine's Meadows subdivision, to allow them to phase the project as a mechanism to allow them to clear title problems on one property, and still proceed with a portion of the development. In 1999, the developers intend to plat the northern'cul-de-sac within the development immediately, but wait to plat the southerly cul-de-sac connecting to 140th Street as the second phase and title issues to the property have been cleared. They would also provide the City an easement, approved by the City Engineer, for a drainage stormwater retention facility to serve both developments. Stoltzman made motion, Haas seconded, to allow the final plat of the Francine's Meadows subdivision into two phases. All aye. Motion Carried.
