REVIEW DRAFT PURCHASE AND REDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
The City Manager reviewed the draft sales and development
agreement between First Choice Homes, Inc. and the City of
Columbia Heights relating to the Sheffield target block. He
explained that Bruce Nedegaard, the developer, requested the
sewer access charges (SAC) and the parkland fees be waived.
The developer's proposal did not include these features.
Discussion continued relative to proposed sideyard setbacks,
the park dedication process in a replatted development versus
a newly-platted area and the four proposed floor plans.
In the original proposal submitted by this developer, an
architectural review board was mentioned. It was not included
in this draft agreement.
The City Manager stated the issue of an architectural review
board can be incorporated into the agreement if the Council
chooses. Also, more definitive descriptions of what is
actually going to be built can be given to the Council as
well.
There has been no bonding requirement for this proposal as
there is to be a lot by lot sale.
The concern regarding parkland was again discussed. Some
members of the Council felt there should be consideration
given for play areas for children. Also, staff was requested
to pursue the feasibility of having underground utilities as
being proposed by the developer.
Motion by Ruettimann, second by Peterson to direct staff to
incorporate amendments to the draft sales and development
agreement pertaining to sewer access charges (SAC), parkland
dedication, establishing a review board process and a filing
of floor plans with the City Council. Roll call: All ayes
