Commissioner Brauer was unclear what the existing road would look like if the access point were to remain open. Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the alignment of the roadway with Nowthen Boulevard. Commissioner Brauer was in favor of approving Phase I and II of the development with the stipulation that the access point to Nowthen Boulevard remain open. Commissioner Bauer noted he could amend his motion to approve the Preliminary Plat for Phase nd I and II requiring that the Final Plat have 152 Lane maintain the connection to Nowthen Boulevard. Friendly Amendment Commissioner Bauer amended his motion to approve the Preliminary Plat for Phase I and II of nd Harvest Estates requiring the Final Plat have 152 Lane maintain the connection to Nowthen Boulevard. Friendly Amendment Commissioner Brauer suggested that this amendment also include the following language: That the City maintain existing access to Highway 5 until further study can be made of the traffic consequences with Nowthen Boulevard at which time a decision will be made about the closure of the road. Commissioner VanScoy questioned how and when a determination would be made. He stated he could support the proposed modification. Community Development Director Gladhill explained that a determination would be made prior to approving the Final Plat of Phase II. Commissioner Bauer and Commissioner VanScoy supported this friendly amendment. Community Development Director Gladhill stated the proposed amendments were consistent with Randy Hedlund, Hedlund Engineering, wanted to see the preliminary plat approved for all 44 lots. He explained that the current alignment would allow for a connection to Nowthen Boulevard. Assistant City Administrator/Economic Development Manager Brama indicated there could be a gap in time between the demolition of the fire station and work on Phase II. Community Development Director Gladhill believed that this issue could be resolved at a staff level.
