City Attorney Goodrich stated from what he understood, part would be low density and part would be medium density. The medium density part would need to be rezoned to accommodate medium density. He stated there were certain standards with a maximum of seven percent net density but within that there are certain guidelines of what a property can be. Mayor Gamec asked if they have the right to say how much is high/low density. City Attorney Goodrich stated the ultimate density would depend on the site with using the Ordinance as the guideline but the site may require less density than is permitted by the City Code. Councilmember Zimmerman stated they needed to act on the request Mr. Kurak gave them. He stated his opinion was a request should be compatible with surrounding homes and compliment what was ah:eady there. Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman, seconded by Councilmember Hendriksen, to adopt Resolution #02~06-151A denying an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and to add, "Whereas, no concept plan for the proposed amendment was presented with the written application." Further discussion: City Attorney Goodrich asked if Councilmember Zimmerman would object to that being called a resolution adopting findings of fact and denying an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. Councihnember Zimmerman accepted the friendly amendment (Findings of Fact #0620). Further discussion: City Attorney Goodrich stated he wanted to note that Councilmember Hendriksen, at the last meeting added, "Whereas no concept plan for the proposed amendment was presented with the written application. Councilmember Hendriksen stated he believed this was correct and asked if City Attorney Goodrich was comfortable with the format. City Attorney Goodrich stated he was. Mayor Gamec stated he would vote against this because this needed to be brought to a head or it would keep coming back time after time. He stated he would rather have the current Council deal with this than to have a new Council have to deal with this. Mayor Gamec stated it was time the Council did their job and show what they want to happen with the land. Councilmember Hendriksen stated he sincerely believed the Council felt they were doing their job and he resented Mayor Gamec stating he was doing his job and the other Councilmembers were not doing their jobs. Mayor Gamec stated he was sorry but he felt they needed to make a decision. Councilmember Anderson stated she was disappointed and thought they would have an extension request because she thought things were going well. She stated they still need a plan to go with the Comprehensive Plan amendment and she expected that this would come up with a plan. Councilmember Anderson stated they do not have anything that is specific and this parcel would give the opportunity to mix densities and prove that it can be done well; however, she cannot approve something without a plan and they were at the 60 days of the City Council/June 25, 2002 Page 9 of 34
