Councilmember Johns asked if the public works and fire departments were asked for input on Snowy Owl and whether that would be an issue since Andover uses bird names. She also asked if the street names would carry over in other areas of the City. Community Development Director Gladhill noted that the Public Works Committee had provided input throughout this process and Chief Katers has also been involved. He stated that there would not be a conflict with the use of these names as they do not exist in the other communities. He stated that the street names could be carried over throughout the City but noted that there is not a lot of developable area in this area of the grid that would use the same names. Councilmember LeTourneau stated that the Council did agree with these name changes in concept in previous discussion. Motion by Councilmember LeTourneau, seconded by Councilmember Johns, to introduce Ordinance #17-18 amending street names in the Riverstone subdivision. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Strommen, Councilmembers LeTourneau, Johns, Kuzma, Riley, and Shryock. Voting No: None. 7.08: Consider Actions Related to Pearson Place (Project No. 16-31); Case of Development Consulting Services, LLC a) Adopt Ordinance#17-10 Approving Zoning Amendment b) Adopt Resolution #17-10-269 Granting Approval of Final Plat and Development Agreement for Pearson Place City Planner Anderson reviewed the staff report and recommendation to approve the Final Plat and Zoning Amendment for Pearson Place, contingent upon compliance with the Staff Review Letter. He stated that the bulk standards of the R-1 district and the new Mississippi River Critical Corridor Area (MRCCA) district standards are generally met with this proposal with the exception of the use of private utilities rather than municipal sewer and water. He explained that the use of private utilities matches the existing development pattern on Bowers Drive and includes both primary and alternate locations for septic system on each lot. He stated that since this is a transition time between the existing MRCCA rules and the new MRCCA rules, staff would support the use of a PUD to address the difference in standards with the inclusion of the outlot that will serve as a buffer for the existing homes along Bowers Drive against potential development in the future. He noted that the Planning Commission also supports these actions. John Dobbs, the applicant, stated that he agrees with all the comments made by City Planner Anderson. He stated that Capstone will most likely be the builder for the homes, which he is excited about. Councilmember LeTourneau stated that he is a neighbor on the Bower's Drive cul-de-sac and the consensus is to support the project as this would be an adequate use of the property.
