Economic Development Manager Sullivan added that getting the wetland sites ready for <br />development could help expedite the speed in which development can move forward. He stated <br />that the order of priorities seems fitting to move things along. He asked if the Council would like <br />to see multiple plans from multiple developers in work sessions. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if the developers were interested in Lot A, C, or the area between <br />the two. <br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan explained that the line share of Lot A is for some sort <br />of single family housing. He stated that between A and C is in limbo as there was an apartment <br />complex looking at this site but they decided that they were interested in a larger site. He said that <br />having the developers come to a work session would help give the Council direction on the route <br />they would like to go. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht asked if there was still a pause for the apartments. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen shared that the City is currently sending this message when developers <br />call. <br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan added that they are not trying to solicit apartment <br />buildings on these parcels. He reiterated the message that they have been giving to developers <br />interested in the site. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff said it would be great to see the developers come forward to a work <br />session to help with the discussion. He shared that the Planning Commission has been discussing <br />rezoning, and the discussion has included this area. <br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan shared that there is enough information that they can <br />share information with the developers so that they know what to expect to help make their decision. <br />He mentioned that instead of having developers come to a work session and share their ideas to <br />have the developers submit plans to the Staff and they can discuss with Council at a meeting. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen explained that the whole process to begin construction will take a long <br />time and the 2023 construction window has likely already passed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated that she is interested in hearing from the developers to see their <br />plans. <br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan said that Lot A and C would need a lot of discussion <br />especially if changing zoning is involved. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked how big Lot B is. He asked if it would be possible to mitigate <br />the wetlands by putting the waterfront on Lot A and fill Lot B. <br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan said this cannot be done as mitigating on site is no <br />longer allowed. <br />City Council Work Session / February 28, 2023 <br />Page 11 of 13 <br /> <br />
