Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the staff report and recommendation from the EDA to execute the Purchase Agreement with Meadow Creek Builders, Inc., which provides flexibility on the final determination of the site layout. Mayor LeTourneau noted that the Council would have the option to go into closed session if desired. Councilmember Riley asked if there has been negotiation on the purchase price or whether this was the offer price. Community Development Director Gladhill explained the negotiation process that occurred between the developer and the Economic Development Manager. He stated that there was also verification that this is a fair market price that falls within the City's deal range. Motion by Councilmember Riley, seconded by Councilmember Kuzma, to approve the Purchase Agreement for Lot 25, Block 1, Harvest Estates. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor LeTourneau, Councilmembers Riley, Kuzma, Johns, Musgrove, and Shryock. Voting No: None. 7.03: Consider Adoption of Resolution #18-265 Approving Alternatives AKM Farms (Paxmar) for Revision to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the staff report and requested direction from the City Council as to what alternatives should be included in the final version of the Comprehensive Plan Update. He began with the discussion on the eastern portion of the parcel. Councilmember Johns stated that when the Council last talked about this, she stated that she could support this if there was a buffer to the east but was concerned with the density to the north because of the low density. She stated that she would prefer the L shape to go north and east rather than east and south. Allen Roessler, Paxmar, stated that he was asked to bring back a draft plan for further review. He confirmed flipping the higher density to the south could be an option to pursue, as the south is adjacent to industrial properties. He stated that they attempted to meet the concerns of the residents to the east to provide a buffer and meet the low -density buffer requirement on that side. He stated that there have been some concerns with traffic and they are also concerned about traffic, but have to defer to the City and County as those elements are out of their control. Councilmember Johns asked if there would be a possibility to flip the lower density from the south to the north. Mr. Roessler stated that he thinks that would be acceptable if desired by the Council. He stated that the reason those lots were placed to the south were to avoid the business of Alpine but did not believe that locating those homes near Alpine would affect the home values much.
