Chairman pro tem, Richard Sticka, called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m.
R -3 & R-4 Zoning - Mulhern Ct.
Mr. Nanninga discussed the progress of this project. He said the petitioners are putting
together plans and want to come in with reduced density. They are not willing to go 100%
senior. There was discussion of a two year sun set clause. He asked if this could wait one
more month. Mr. Spang suggested adding "those currently zoned R -3 and R-4 will maintain
their present density for two years from the passage of this ". Dan Kramer will be asked to add
this to the ordinance and bring it to the Committee of the Whole.
FOX MILL LANDING REQUEST
Darren Sloniger said his financing is related to the four unit loft only. Phase I is the loft and
then will move to the proposed 8 -plex after the four loft units are sold. They are doing 75% of
the Phase I site work related to the loft development. He requested a final building permit that
reflects only to be able to build the four unit loft and the site work related to that. He wants to
put up a letter of credit for that part only. (75% of the total Phase I letter of credit). When they
start the 8 -plex, they will put up a letter of credit for the additional 25% then. He is asking to
break this up into two pieces.
He thought that only public improvements were included in the letter of credit (110 %) and he
assumed that if it were to be dedicated to the city that is what that was. Mr. Wyrott told him the
private drive behind the building would also have to be included in the letter of credit. Mr.
Sloniger requested that this not be reflected in the letter of credit and that be a condition to the
final certificate of occupancy. He would be giving a letter of credit on the sewer, water, lights,
sidewalks, curbs and gutters. He would be removing the things related to the 8 -plex such as
the sewer/water and the paving of the driveway. The driveway would still be built in Phase I,
but not paved. Mr. Sloniger said the deal with the Byrds was finalized June, 1996 and the city
has the PUD. Fox Mill Landing, LLC owns the property.
There was discussion to clarify the request and the potential consequences. The various
aspects of the letter of credit and proposed building sequence was discussed. Mr. Prochaska
and Mr. Spang suggested that this project be split into three phases. The procedure of doing
this revision was discussed. Mr. Kramer will be asked if the phases can be split keeping the
integrity of the ordinance and the city will reserve the right to look at the phases again.
Economic Development Committee 7/15/9'
The City Council would have to approve this re- phasing. This will go to the Committee of the
Whole.
ANTI- MONOTONY STANDARDS
Chris Lannert will be giving Mr. Nanninga information with updated population projections. This
was tabled until then.

Mr. Nanninga asked for the members to make comments on their copies of the Comprehensive
Plan and to give them to him for review and revision.

the ordinances.
