City Council Highlights - June 10 Presentation The regular City Council meeting opened with a presentation of the 2024 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report by the City's auditing firm, LB Carlson. The firm issued an unmodified or clean opinion on the City's 2024 financial statements. Consent Agenda Following the presentation, the City Council unanimously passed 16 items from the Consent Agenda. Public Hearings Two Public Hearings were on the docket. The first was to Adopt Resolution #25-130, Vacating Right -of -Way Easements in Trott Brook Crossing. 173rd Avenue NW is a rural, unpaved road that provides access to the Trott Brook Crossing subdivision, North Brook Meadows (preliminary plat approved in 2022) and one private residence located at 7031 173rd Avenue NW. The approved Trott Brook Crossing plat includes a realignment of 173rd Avenue, to be dedicated with the upcoming 3rd Addition. This realignment will remove direct frontage for the private residence. The homeowner, who is also the seller of the Trott Brook Crossing land, has coordinated with the developer to establish a temporary driveway until permanent access can be provided through the future development of North Brook Meadows. The City Council approved the resolution. The second Public Hearing was to Approve On -Sale Liquor License, including Sunday and 2:00 a.m. sales, for SM Enterprises, doing business as Riversbend Sports Bar & Grill. Due to a change in the license applicant, a new liquor license was required for operations at Riversbend. This change will not affect the establishment's day-to-day operations. The City Council approved the new liquor license. Council Business Council Business included three cases. The first case was to Adopt Resolution #25-107, Approving a Preliminary and Final Plat for Bunker Lake Crossing at the northeast corner of Sunwood Drive and Armstrong Boulevard. The proposed Preliminary Plat includes three buildable lots along Armstrong Boulevard and one outlot designated for an existing wetland. Lot 1, the northernmost, is planned for Taco Bell; Lot 2, the middle lot, is reserved for a future tenant yet to be determined; and Lot 3, the southernmost, is intended for Chipotle, pending final approvals. The Final Plat has been reviewed by City staff and found to be consistent with the Preliminary Plat. The City Council approved the resolution. The second case was to Adopt Resolution #25-109, Approving a Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan for Taco Bell at 14751 Armstrong Boulevard NW. A Land Use Application has been submitted for the development of a 1.32-acre lot.
