Interim City Administrator Nelson indicated she is uncomfortable trying to come up with this sort of plan absent Public Works Director Olson. If it would not hurt the project she would suggest tabling this request to allow Mr. Olson to work out the type of escrow account that is being discussed. She asked how many units will be leased out with this project. Mr. Ness replied all of the units in the development would be sold. There will be a total of 45 units, with 15 three unit buildings. Associate Planner Daines stated regarding the sewer and water trunk fees, they have had this discussion with Public Works Director Olson in October. They discussed the options for charging trunk fees because the developer did not feel it was fair to charge trunk fees right away. They discussed the association being responsible to maintain an escrow with the City for those trunk fees. Mayor Gamec suggested this be included on the next agenda with the answers to these questions and an agreement that has been prepared. Councilmember Elvig asked if there is a timing issue with this request. City Attorney Goodrich responded in the negative. Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Strommen, to table a request for revisions to the Development Agreement for the final plat of North fork Office Condos. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Elvig, Strommen, Dehen, Jeffrey, Look, and Olson. Voting No: None. Case #6: Request for Final Plat and Final Site Plan Approval of GAD's Prairie; Case of Tri-Cor Development Associate Planner DaInes reviewed that in May of 2006, the City received an application from Gary and Aaron Stritesky to develop 7 detached townhomes on the property generally located south of146th Avenue on County Road 5. The City Council considered the preliminary plat and a zoning amendment to PUD for GAD's Prairie and unanimously approved both requests on a 6- o vote. Since May 2006, the Stritesky's have sold their interests in GAD's Prairie to Tri-Cor Development. After unsuccessfully seeking a revised preliminary plat proposal, Tri-Cor has submitted a final plat application that substantially conforms to the approved preliminary plat. Ms. DaInes stated the applicant is proposing 7 detached townhomes. The property is zoned R-2 medium density residential, which allows up to 7 units per acre. The overall density of the project is 4.1 units per acre. A revised grading and drainage plan has been submitted and is generally acceptable to staff. The final landscaping plan is also acceptable. Ms. Daines sated the units are a mix of single-level and two-level homes. Detailed building elevations have been submitted and are included in the Council's packet.
