5 Mr. Kowalik commented he would rather not have the asterisk in place. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development Gozola explained it would be to the property owners benefit to have this asterisk or option for the property in place. He indicated the property would not be marked in any way that would raise any red flags, but rather would simply have a notation on the Comprehensive Plan that the site could be rezoned to multi-family per the property owners request. He commented further on how it would benefit the City to not force the property owner but denote the City was willing to work with the property owner. Motion by Commissioner McQuillan, seconded by Commissioner Melquist, to recommend the City Council approve Ordinance 872, including the asterisk for the property at 1001 and 1021 County Road E. Approved 6-0. VII. Business Items 1) PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT: An application from Murlowski Properties, Inc. to replat the four properties at 2200 Old Highway 9 into two parcels, and to clean up legal descriptions between this property and adjacent lands. No new lots will be created as a result of this platting process. PIDs: 17-30-41-0013, 17-30-23-42-0004, 17-30-23-43-0005, and 17-30-23-42- 0006. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development Gozola reported Murlowski Properties Inc. are seeking to clean up the legal descriptions between their properties and su rrounding properties to position the property for future development or sale. Through this plat, the existing four parcels will be combined into two. Boundaries for the resulting parcels will mimic existing parcel lines. The only visible changes will largely be to the legal descriptions of the land in this area. Staff provided further comment on the request and recommended approval of the Preliminary and Final Plat, based on the findings of fact and subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall work with the City Attorney to finalize an acceptable roadway access easement across the entire northern boundary of Lot 1, Block 1; easement to be dedicated as part of the plat or as a separate instrument per Attorney direction. 2. An easement shall be dedicated over the storm water pipe extending northward from Rush Lake as directed by the City Engineer. Mr. Biedenfeld asked if the property owner had any comments or questions. Anthony Murlowski, applicant, indicated he would be building a road on Lot 2 on the south end of the property along the railroad tracks for secondary access to the site. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development Gozola reported staff would work with the applicant on this matter. He explained these decisions would be made when Lot 2 develops at some point in the future.
