<br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma closed the public hearing at 8:30 pm. <br /> <br />Councilmember Heineman asked about procedure if the resolution to approve the preliminary plat <br />passed and then the ordinance failed. <br /> <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl replied the applicant would have to revise their plans to not show <br />the seven lots on the property and would not be able to do the one-quarter acre lots on that property. <br />It would be zoned for 2.5 acre lots. The Council would still be approving the plan, but the applicant <br />would have to edit the plan. She noted that Resolution #21-309 has the Comprehensive Plan <br />amendment as well as the EAW so Staff’s recommendation would be a contingent approval based <br />on the traffic study so the EAW could still move forward. Senior Planner McGuire Brigl outlined <br />the procedural action steps for the Council to vote on. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell asked for clarification on which roads would be included in the traffic <br />study. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby replied that it would be his recommendation that the study follow the scope <br />of the traffic study provided by the EAW. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich displayed a slide from the staff report listing the scope of services with <br />the tasks included in the study. He asked if the Council wanted to add anything to the list. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht asked Councilmember Howell if the list included the streets she had <br />referenced. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell confirmed that it did and more. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma referenced the price quote received and asked if that encompasses all of the streets <br />listed. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich confirmed this. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht asked if the Council was going to add a contingency to the resolution <br />instead of tabling it. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich replied that postponing action on the preliminary plat contingent on the <br />traffic study was still a possibility if the Council so chose. It would be a separate motion. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff suggested, from a procedural perspective, to put the traffic study first, <br />rezoning next, and then the plat contingent on the result of the traffic study, assuming the Council <br />will see it in January with any changes. He expressed concerns that if the Council didn’t add it as <br />a contingency, tabled action, and the traffic study doesn’t get done in time, that they would run <br />into a time barrier and it would just be approved. <br /> <br />City Council / November 9, 2021 <br />Page 14 of 26 <br /> <br />
