Councilmcmbcr Zimmerman agreed and stated that the City Council is not ready to give a yeah <br />or nay. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen suggested single-family homes. <br /> <br />Mr. Black stated that they would keep working with the City. <br /> <br />#2: Proposed Housing Development: Mallard Ponds - Chris Bulow <br /> <br />Chris Bulow stated that the main issue with the proposed Mallard Ponds is the density. <br />Originally, the plan proposed a net of 250 units which is 15 units per acre. He inquired if this <br />maximum density is an issue for the City. He stated they would be willing to change the plan, <br />which would take the density from 250 units to 218. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson arrived (6:20 p.m.). <br /> <br />Mr. Norman stated that there have been conversations about apartments and higher densities. <br />Mr. Bulow is saying they would be going from 180 to about 160 units. <br /> <br />Mr. Bulow stated that the main change in the plan is in the apartments. The gross property area <br />is under 13 units per acre. <br /> <br />Councihnember Anderson commented that the City does not have public transportation available <br />and what affect this density would have. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that he would rather see a commercial strip in the area Mr. <br />Bulow is talking about. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that he feels that the general concept is that the density is too high. <br /> <br />Mr. Bulow inquired if all twinhomes instead of apartments would be acceptable. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen replied yes. Actually he would like to see some business there but <br />added that he would be more receptive to twinhomes than a 160-unit apartment building. <br /> <br />Mr. Bulow stated he would make the lower area an outlot and explore some commercial <br />possibilities. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec recessed the Council work session at 7:06 p.m. in order to reconvene the Board of <br />Review meeting. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec called the Council work session back to order at 7:55 p.m. <br /> <br />#3: Proposed Housing Development: Orin Thompson - Katnis Property <br /> <br />Bill Pritchard and John Aune of Orin Thompson were present to talk about the Katnis property. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session - April 24, 2000 <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
