I I I I I I I I I· I I Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that the developer of Cedar Hills is requesting final plat approval bf the second addition, which is in conformance with the approved preliminary plat and ~phasing plan from 1990. This second phase of Cedar Hills consists of an addition~ 33' lots. All the lots meet the minimum width and area requirements, the improvenlents are proposed to be installed as a private development project. City Engineer ~Iankowski reviewed the street layout. In accordance with the approved preliminary plat, all lots would have access onto Tungsten Way N.W. However, the City had reeei,~ed an application for Sunfish Square, a subdivision of single family, multi-family and bus,ess lots on the 40-acre parcel adjacent to the southwesterly 500 feet of Cedar Hills. In .lieu of these development plans for that property, it is Staff's recommendation that the sOUtherly portion of Tungsten Way be redesigned with a through street extension to the west into the Sauter property. Mr. Jankowski explained the benefits of this street reconfigutation. Mr. Tom Gallagher of Astleford felt he was doing everything he could to abide by the contract, with the City but this street reconfiguration and the proposed rezoning of the property represented a change in the contract and he felt he was being negatively impacted by someoiae else (development of Sunfish Square). Mr. Jankowski explained that the rezoning would be made to coincide with Mr. Gallaghefs zoning. Mr. Gallagher did not totally agree with the street reconfiguration and felt that these changes Would delay his development. He also felt that the changes were going to cost him more money and asked that the City consider cost-share or have the other developer put that amount in escrow. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding a possible cost share, etc., and whether or not the changes re, commended by Staff were fair. Consensus of the Council was that City Staff should continue to work with Mr. Gallagher regarding the street connection. Council scheduled a special meeting for Wednesday, June 2, 1993 to discuss this ease further. Case //6: Report from the Personnel Committee There was no Personnel Committee meeting held earlier.
