He asked <br />if this does fail if there is enough feedback to provide the developer with on how to solve the <br />concerns of the Council. <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan shared he has heard from the Council that if the bank <br />was not on the comer and was on the backside of the lot that it would be more favorable. He stated <br />that other than this the only acceptable solution seems to be to find another site. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff stated that having the bank on the backside of the site creates a better <br />investment opportunity for them to sell the building on the front half. He noted that this also allows <br />for potentially better traffic flow which were some of the concerns raised around this project. He <br />added that he would be open to hearing what the developer comes back to the Council with. He <br />shared his personal perspective that this seems uncomfortable in its current design. <br />Planning Manager Larson noted that the applicants' civil engineer and architects are online. <br />Motion failed. Voting Yes: Mayor Kuzma, Councilmembers Riley and Olson. Voting No: <br />Councilmembers Howell, Musgrove, Specht, and Woestehoff. <br />Mark Puetz, Puetz Design & Build, shared that the developer has been very opposed to moving <br />the bank any farther back on Sunwood. He stated that the developer hopes to have access off of <br />Sunwood. He added that asking the developer to move the bank would create uncertainty on <br />whether the developer would like to move forward. <br />City Council / July 11, 2023 <br />Page 13 of 19 <br />
