I I I Council Meeting Minutes June 10, 1986 Council Business, continued Sinda stated his understanding is that staff is asking for pre- liminary approval for plat and that Locke and/or Krueger would work with Beisswenger to put together a Development Agreement which would probably require some tax increment assistance from the city for its work. Sinda added that, before the plan would be finalized, the agreement would be presented to council. Sinda stated that, although he had not talked with Walburn about tax increment financing for any of the other lots, it does not pre- clude them from coming in the future requesting that. For the kind of quality the council is looking for, Sinda felt a request may be made that the asphalt plant be removed. Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Schmidt, to WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS OF FACT AND RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF PL-146. Harold Peterson, representing the applicant, stated they agreed with all conditions with the exception of No.9 regarding the ponding system, stating the ponding system as shown on the plat has been approved by Rice Creek Watershed District; he feels this is the best method of controlling the runoff; Planning Commission asked them not to have ponds within the five yard front setback and to leave the green area; they have tried to do that but stated the pond will simply be a detention center. Benke stated the Planning Commission carefully considered a front yard detention area, and stated there have been exceptions to the general desire to not have ponding in front yards. Krueger stated she does not have a significant concern for a de- tention center in a front yard setback, and believes development on that property can provide adequate landscaping to make it an attractive development. Both Gunderman and Schmidt agreed to DELETE CONDITION #9 FROM THE CONDITIONS. 4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried as amended Locke stated Jim Senden, Senden Associates, is present to review a concept plan for the Second Street N.W. redevelopment area; briefly reviewed staff report; and recommends concurrence with the overall concept and have staff begin working on other actions. Schmidt asked for clarification that staff's recomendation is to give conceptual approval to the plat as it is proposed; Locke so confirmed and added that the intent is to set up an informational meeting for the property owners before the Planning Commission meeting.
