Case #3: Request for Final Plat Review of Knoll Properties; Case of Anderson Dahlen, Inc. Management Intern Gladhill stated that the next step for this property is replatting to accommodate the proposed expansion. He reviewed the final plat and noted that there will be no new access points for this property, but that Lot 2 will have access, in the future, from 143rd Avenue. He stated that staff is recommending deferring the development charges on Lot 2, Block 1, until a development proposal is brought forward for that parcel. He stated that the Planning Commission reviewed this on June 5, 2008 and recommended approval. He stated that the applicant has requested that they have reduced fees for Stormwater, Sanitary Sewer Trunk and Water Trunk because they are not bringing in sewer and water lines. He stated that these fees are typically charged by acres. Mayor Gamec asked if there were any other businesses that have expanded similar to this one and whether fees had been discounted. Management Intern Gladhill stated that he was not aware of any that required a mmor subdivision. Councilmember Dehen stated that whatever the Council decides to do, he would like to be consistent. Councilmember Elvig stated that he agrees with Councilmember Dehen,but cannot think of another situation that is similar to this. He stated that he would not be opposed to a reduced fee, since there will be no extra services provided. Mayor Gamec stated that he would like staff to review this more closely because this will set a precedent. He suggested that it also be reviewed by the EDA, but noted that he doesn't think a decision on that issue should be made tonight. He stated that perhaps, if the EDA recommends it, the applicant could be reimbursed some fees at a later time. Councilmember Jeffrey stated that if this would have been one lot, they would have paid the entire fee, so he does not see this as charging them double, but the appropriate amount based on the acreage. Councilmember Elvig agreed that bringing a case to the EDA to discuss this issue seems fair. Mayor Gamec noted that there are no guarantees that any of the fees will be reimbursed, but the City can take a look at this is closer detail. Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Olson, to adopt Resolution #08- 06-113 granting final plat approval to Knoll Properties Addition, contingent upon compliance with the City Staff Review Letter dated June 20,2008.
