The developer stated there is a proposed secondary entrance to Armstrong Boulevard that was added due to the City’s concerns about all the traffic accessing the area from one point. He added a right in/right out with median design is being proposed to provide secondary access. The developer stated, with regard to all 80-foot-wide lots, that issue can be reviewed. He added, however, that will cause a reduction in the size of single-family lots with no opportunity to make it up. He added their preference would be to stay with 65-foot-wide residential lots, because they accommodate the smaller family home that is proposed. Councilmember Riley stated he supports removal of the contingency for 28 acres in the Resolution. Motion by Councilmember Riley, seconded by Councilmember Heineman, to adopt Resolution #21-229, Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Re-Guide PID #20-32-25-44-0003 from High Density Residential (HDR) to Medium Density Residential (MDR) (Project No. 21-122), Case of Lennar; removing Contingency 1C from the Resolution but retaining Contingencies 1A, 1B and 1D. Further discussion: Councilmember Woestehoff stated he will not be supporting this Resolution as he would prefer to keep 28 acres of high density. He added he does not agree with the 3 lots that were chosen, especially the lot by Suite Living, which should stay commercial. He noted he hopes there are other suitable lots out there. Councilmember Woestehoff stated he supports continuing to search for 28 acres that would be more suitable, because the LCA funding that comes with it has been helpful in the past and would be nice to continue to have that option in the future. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Kuzma, Councilmembers Riley, Heineman, Howell, Musgrove, and Specht. Voting No: Woestehoff Senior Planner McGuire Brigl stated City Staff can continue to look for 27.5 acres to be re-guided as high density, to maintain eligibility in the LCA program. She added that is an option that is separate from this development. Councilmember Musgrove stated the City Council can direct City Staff to review that issue and provide additional details at a future meeting. 7.04: Revised Quote on Used Sweeper/Scrubber for the new Public Works Facility Public Works Superintendent Grant Riemer stated City Staff are seeking City Council authorization to purchase a used sweeper/scrubber for the new public works facility. He added the City Council directed City Staff to look at used equipment at a price not to exceed $43,000. He noted City Staff found several units under $43,000, but most were out of state and sold as is with no warranty. Public Works Superintendent Riemer stated he contacted a Tenant Sales representative, and they have a 2014 machine that is currently being refurbished and comes with a 9-month warranty and 90-days labor, for an asking price of $44,550, which is slightly higher than what was authorized City Council / August 24, 2021 Page 11 of 14
