• There was. discussion about the City's possible financial contribution to the construction <br />of this road. - <br />Motion by Councilmember Olson, seconded by Chair Elvig; to recommend to the City <br />Council that the -.City inform GAD's Prairie that contingent upon City Council approval, <br />the City will supply the necessary land for the road, which will- be a cul-de-sac and that <br />there will be mitigation for light bleeding from parallel roads.. <br />Further Discussion: .Councilmember Dehen suggested that the. City contact the two <br />property owners to see how much this will cost before moving forward. Chair Elvig <br />stated-that he agrees that the Committee will need to know costs, legal opinions, etc. <br />before this is brought to the City Council, however, he would like to move this forward to <br />see what the developer .will do. Councilmember Olson stated that the Committee may <br />not want to make a motion then because that commits the City to the land costs. <br />Councilmember Olson accepted a friendly amendment, seconded by Chair Elvig, that the <br />City costs are not to exceed $100,000 for purchase of property, that this is contingent <br />upon City Council approval, that the road will be built to City standards. and not be a <br />private road, that berming or other buffering will be done to mitigate for lights. <br />Further Discussion: Councilmember Dehen stated that he is really struggling with the <br />• idea of using $100,000 of public money to put in this-road. He stated that he would like <br />to see costs not exceed $50,000. Public Works Director Olson suggested that the City <br />could offer to cover land costs, but the developer would pay all condemnation costs. <br />Councilmember Olson accepted a second friendly amendment, seconded by Chair Elvig, <br />to amend her motion to state that the City contribution to the cost of purchasing land will <br />not exceed $60,000 and that anything beyond that, including legal fees, will be covered <br />by the developer. <br />Amended motion carried.
