III I III Council Meeting Minutes June 23, 1987 Brandt stated one of the concerns is the amount of green space lost by doing a zero-lot-line development and noted, to increase density, she would favor a proposal of clustered dwellings. Blomquist agreed and encouraged Hedlund to come back with a propo- sal for either a cluster development or eight single family homes on the site. 4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Sinda explained the proposed resolution for posting certain city streets is a follow-up with council's action on June 9, 1987. Sinda noted subsequently we received correspondence from the School District, as provided to council this evening, regarding their response. Sinda summarized basically the School District has rejected some conditions in the contract and they believe the city does not have jurisdiction over this Special Use Permit and could start con- struction; and, because a meeting has been scheduled between their attorney and our attorney this Thursday to discuss the matter fur- ther, council may wish to defer action on the posting of the signs. LeFevere indicated School Districtls attorney felt it would be very helpful to him and would be a sign of good faith if this pro- posed resolution were adopted. LeFevere stated he is inclined to think it may be a good idea to adopt the resolution which could be reconsidered at a future date; believes the School District is receiving bids on this project through Friday and understands the Districtls attorney.s position is that they will award the bid, particularly if it appears from the discussion on Thursday that compliance can be reached. Benke asked if the attorney is the same one who was of the opinion that the District did not have to receive a Special Use Permit; LeFevere stated it was the same attorney. LeFevere was not sure he understood the School Board's position on this but it seems they do not concede the city has the authority to require a condi- tional use permit, but they are willing to sign an agreement pro- viding the terms are acceptable. Benke stated, based on the tone of the motions adopted by the School Board, he was not quite sure what their perspective is; perhaps they do not have any confidence in their program; suggest- ed the majority of the council discussion was that if the permit system works, it would be illogical to require additional spaces to be constructed. Benke stated now it seems they would rather go to court to tell us we donlt have anything to say about what hap- pens in our city, which is a further justification for the Plan- ning Commissionls and the council 's original perspective.
