<br />Acting Mayor Elvig observed the Council appears to be in agreement that this product would be an <br />amenity to the neighborhood, but that the massing is an issue. Architecture, staggering and color <br />textures should be used to decrease the visual massing and a cookie cutter type appearance. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich advised there are time constraints on the application. He asked if the <br />applicant is willing to extend the timeline. <br /> <br />Mr. Murphy responded in the affirmative. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Trudgeon indicated this is a PUD so there will be final plat <br />review. The 60 days officially expires February 9, 2007, and there is another Council meeting prior <br />to that where this could be reviewed. In the past the Council has talked about a lot of changes, and <br />from staff s perspective in the cycle of getting comments and talking to Mr. Murphy there has been <br />some changes, but they keep having the same conversation that the changes are not quite enough. <br />He requested the Council to be as clear as they can regarding the changes they are requesting. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Elvig stated he does not see much change from the first time he saw this plan. There <br />is vinyl wall board, and there is now vinyl shingles. He does not see any staggering in front, which <br />he clearly articulated before. He does not see that the Council's recommendations have been <br />addressed. If the Council is going to review this again there should be significant changes and an <br />effort put forth for a visual decreasing of the mass. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Olson, seconded by Councilmember Look, to table the following cases: <br />Case No.5: Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment; Case ofDPM Investments, Inc. <br />Case No.6: Request to Rezone Property from B-2 Business to Planned Unit Development <br />(PUD); Case ofDPM Investments, Inc. <br />Case No.7: Request for Preliminary Plat and Preliminary Site Plan Review of Ebony <br />Woods; Case ofDPM Investments, Inc. <br /> <br />Further discussion: Councilmember Jeffrey asked if the changes will be presented at a Council <br />work session. Community Development Director Trudgeon replied a work session would provide <br />the Council with the ability for give and take without being forced with a decision. Following the <br />work session it could move to a Council meeting for approval. Councilmember Jeffrey suggested <br />Mr. Murphy bring an architect to the work session discussion. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Acting Mayor Elvig, Councilmembers Olson, Look, Dehen, Jeffrey, <br />and Strommen. Voting No: None. Abstain: Mayor Gamec. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Elvig requested Mr. Murphy to provide staff with the time extension as discussed. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec returned to the Council dais at 8:12 p.m. <br /> <br />Case #6: <br /> <br />Request to Rezone Property from B-2 Business to Planned Unit Development <br />(PUD); Case of DPM Investments, Inc. <br /> <br />Acted on under Case No.5. <br /> <br />City Council / January 9, 2007 <br />Page 17 of24 <br />
