<br />Councilmember Woestehoff added he wanted to clarify that since motion two was an ordinance, <br />the Council will see it again. He stated he will vote in favor of it today; however, he does not <br />necessarily enjoy these types of zoning swaps because they feel slightly disingenuous to the Met <br />Council, to a certain extent, that they are doing a land swap to meet their needs. He would prefer <br />to see a better solution from a zoning perspective as opposed to the R-1 to R-2 swap. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Acting Mayor Riley, Councilmembers Howell, Specht, and <br />Woestehoff. Voting No: None. <br />7.03: Consider Waiver of St. Katharine Drexel Land Use Review Fees (Project #21-103) <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen reviewed the request. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Riley said his understanding of this case that is a he-said, she-said situation. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen said there is some of that here. He commented that in a perfect world <br />they would have existing Staff and perfect memories. However, not all of the Staff that worked <br />on this case are still employed by the City, as this was over a year ago. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht asked if they were discussing the $398.62 in fees. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen said this is the amount that the City has identified. He said the City sent <br />them an invoice for $97.83, but they are disputing this invoice and more additional charges, adding <br />up to the $398.62. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht said this is obviously not a huge amount in terms of the budget; however, <br />there are the inconsistencies of the he-said, she-said. He added that due to the amount he would be <br />happy to maintain the good relationship with the church as they add a lot to the community and <br />waive the fees. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Riley asked to clarify the motion that it was for $398.62. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht confirmed. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Specht to waive the fees incurred against the project after City Council <br />approval in March 2021. <br /> <br />Motion failed for lack of a second. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell asked City Administrator Hagen if the restroom facilities was an addition <br />by the church. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen said it is his understanding that the original plans did not approve <br />restroom facilities and after the approval, they continued to turn in plans and had the desire to add <br />them. <br /> <br />City Council / August 8, 2022 <br />Page 6 of 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
