Commissioner Woestehoff asked if this project had a local developer. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill explained the developer was from the East Bethel <br />area. <br />Motion by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Woestehoff, to recommend that <br />City Council deny Resolution 18-209 granting Preliminary Plat for Shade Tree Cottages. <br />Further discussion <br />Commissioner Gengler questioned why the recommendation for denial was being pursued. <br />Commissioner Anderson stated he believed the City could do more with this property and he was <br />of the opinion the roadway could be wider. In addition, he did not see the public benefit through <br />this development. <br />Commissioner Woestehoff was in agreement and stated he was very uncomfortable with the <br />proposed lot sizes. <br />Commissioner Gengler stated she would like to hear form the developer prior to denying the <br />request. <br />Commissioner Onyambu agreed stating he would like to hear from the developer as well. <br />Commissioner Anderson stated he understood this was a difficult parcel to develop. However, <br />he supported the slate being cleaned with the developer starting over from the beginning on this <br />development. He reported he would like to see this property rezoned from PUD to R-1. <br />Commissioner Woestehoff indicated he believed it spoke volumes that the developer was not <br />before the Commission to address the comments and concerns that were raised at this meeting. <br />Motion Failed.
