Mr. Koegler noted that the description would have to be attached to the plan - or inserted. He stated he would like to see the minutes fi'om that presentation. no comment on changes Councilmember Hendriksen commented on the third paragraph - density bonuses - and wondered why we are not using the Met Council definition. He suggested striking everything from the paragraph following.., rent of $684 per month. Mr. Koegler stated he would reword that. Councilmember Hendriksen suggested that the next paragraph should start with "As part of the PUD process, density credit may be given... The phrase "would receive density credit" should be changed to "may be given density credit". The rest of the paragraph should read as follows: A maximum density of 5 units per net acre (for example) would then yield 200 units. The developer may be allowed to reduce lot sizes or mix housing styles in order to preserve some or all of the remaining 10 acres in the Greenway as permanent open space. This open space would not be left as unmanaged open space (or an outlot) but required to be preserved as permanent open space through park dedication or some land preservation tool such as a land trust or permanent conservation easement acceptable to the City Council. Last paragraph - Councilmember Hendriksen suggested crossing off "Mixed R-1 Low Density. Councilmember Anderson pointed out that Future was misspelled. It was noted that the zoning map would be looked at - and what's added should be what's in Iow density to medium and high density. Mr. Koegler noted numbers 1, 2 and 3. No comment on the change in #1, #2 is newly added - no comment. Councilmember Hendriksen inquired if #3 is even needed - and suggested it be stricken. Mr. Koegler stated that he will go back through the plan and anywhere density bonuses occurs, he will review it to see if it belongs there. This brought the plan up to Page V-21 - and those were previous changes. Mr. Koegler stated that he would make the suggested changes and get the document back to Mr. Norman. He understood that this is a little closer to what Council wants. Mr. Norman stated he would look at minutes from the joint meeting with Met Council to find out the description talked about for page V~14.
