Mr. Roessler replied that they have already spent a fair amount of money without a result but <br />agreed that a concept could be put together. He stated that if the Council is willing to look at it, <br />they could discuss putting a concept together. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill confirmed that he has adequate input from the <br />Council. <br />Acting Mayor LeTourneau moved onto the discussion regarding the western portion of the <br />property, the Northfork Inc. parcel and the transition of that parcel to medium density. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated that it is great that the applicant is working with Capstone. He <br />noted that there was previous discussion on the desire for the City to pay for some of the utility <br />connection costs. He stated that he would not have a problem with changing the density but <br />would not support the City funding the utility portion and therefore that would be contingent <br />upon the applicant working out the details with Capstone. <br />Mr. Roessler replied that they would pay for Capstone to extend the utilities to the edge of their <br />parcel. <br />Councilmember Riley stated that another representative from the company was present in recent <br />months and called this parcel the last jewel of the City in terms of development. He asked how <br />that comment then transitions to making this parcel medium density and whether that would be <br />the best use of the "jewel". <br />Mr. Roessler stated that he believes that the comment was made in regard to the possibility of <br />this being the last MUSA development with a large amenity in the backyard. He stated that this <br />would provide another layer of transitioning from the Capstone project. <br />Councilmember Riley asked if the concept that the Council is looking at is the current proposal. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated that this was the last proposal and generally <br />would look similar. <br />Councilmember Riley stated that this would be medium density and asked what low density <br />would look like. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill estimated a 25 percent reduction in the number of <br />lots with wider and deeper lot sizes. He estimated 70-80 lots rather than 100 lots. <br />Councilmember Johns stated that is a lot of houses and she could not imagine that being the final <br />number. She stated that seems like more of a natural flow and therefore has less of an issue <br />converting this parcel to medium density. <br />Councilmember Riley commented that there are very large lots around this area and asked if this <br />area would be part of the HOA. He stated that neighbors in this area were totally against that. <br />City Council / August 28, 2018 <br />Page 19 of 23 <br />
