<br />Community Development Director Trudgeon explained there is a large lot in the area that serves <br />as a drainage area. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig asked whether there are concerns about fire safety with this cul-de-sac. <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kapler explained he has spoken against cluster developments, but the big difference in <br />this situation is that it is a municipal water area, whereas in the cluster areas they would need to <br />haul water in and out, which is a huge concern. The situation is not ideal, but it is acceptable <br />with the troubled location and access. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Strommen, seconded by Councilmember Olson, to approve the <br />preliminary plat for Amber Ridge 2nd Addition contingent upon the following: <br />a) City Council and Metropolitan Council approval of the Comprehensive Plan <br />Amendment and rezoning <br />b) Compliance with City Staff Review Letter dated June 29, 2006, revised August 3, <br />2006. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
