Community Development Director Joe Hogeboom reported Thomas Brama, owner of the property located at 4400 Stinson Blvd. NE. has requested approval of a Preliminary Plat that creates six single - family residential lots. City Council Minutes September 12, 2016 Page 3 of 11 This proposal is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, which guides this area for "low density residential" development. The proposal is laid out in a way that demonstrates good planning and site engineering design principals through working to preserve the topography as well as mature, quality trees. The Planning Commission voted 3 -2 to recommend denial for this request. Several people spoke at the Planning Commission Meeting about potential issues that they felt could arise from this development, including; potential excess parking on the street, loss of woodland, and potential effects on site lines to existing homes to Silver Lake. Staff feels that there is adequate parking provided in garage space and on driveway space to serve residents and their guests. Further, the property owner is working to preserve trees. Mr. Brama's initial request was for a total of seven homes, after taking into consideration comments from the Planning Commission meeting, he has modified his plans to include six total lots. Councilmember Murzyn, Jr. questioned if the Planning Commission will be reviewing the updated plans. Director Hogeboom indicated the council could recommend P & Z review, but it is not necessary, and it was noted that could delay the project quite a bit. Mayor Peterson indicated that he has spoken to a few of the P & Z commissioners, and thinks they would be receptive to the revised plans with the reduced lots. City Attorney Jim Hoeft clarified the amended proposal with six lots meets the City's zoning requirements, and there is no reason to send it back to the Planning Commission. Thomas Brama — 4400 Stinson Blvd NE indicated that as a result of discussion at the recent Planning Commission meeting, he has revised his plans to include a total of six lots, each with 40" driveways. Mr. Brama gave an overview of the proposed six lots, indicating that he and his engineers are working closely with the Rice Creek Watershed District, the City Engineer and the Fire Department. Malcom Watson -1717 49th Ave NE asked if the shared driveway will be a private road. Councilmember Murzyn, Jr. asked who would be responsible for sewer and water. Mr. Brama indicated the road is private and he will be discussing sewer and water with the City Engineer. Mr. Hoeft clarified that the City does not maintain private easements. Councilmember Murzyn, Jr. commented that they may have issues of bad water complaints if the watermain dead ends. Mr. Brama indicated he will discuss this with the City Engineer. Mr. Hoeft indicated the City Engineer and the Fire Department will be reviewing plans. Connie Shackle -4044 5th St NE commented that Stinson Blvd is a narrow street, and would discourage additional development. Ms. Shackle suggested the applicant bring his revised plans to the Planning Commission for consideration, prior to the council considering the item. Reverend Jin Kim, Church of All Nations -4301 Benjamin Street stated he opposes the proposed development, and questioned why the Council is considering the item, while the Planning & Zoning Commissions' recommendation was to deny the request. City Attorney Hoeft explained the Planning & Zoning is a recommending body, and they do not give direction to the Council. Reverend Kim explained that the church understood that a home may be built on one of the sites, but did not expect multiple homes. Kim stated he feels the proposed development is too large for the area, and would not fit well into the existing neighborhood. Mr. Kim strongly encouraged the council to deny the request, and limit development to one or two houses. Soon Pac Kim, Church of All Nations -4301 Benjamin Street stated she has concerns with the proposed sub- division in the neighborhood, commenting that the increased traffic could compromise their serene space. City Council Minutes September 12, 2016 Page 4 of 11 Laura Newby -4525 Chatham Rd NE expressed concern with altering the current environment, stating that two houses would be appropriate. Andrew Smith -2100 43rd Ave NE explained he was a real estate developer in Florida, and cautioned the Council against over developing the area. John Nelson, Church of All Nations -4301 Benjamin Street stated he appreciates the current environmental space, as do many of the church members. Nelson indicated the proposed development will significantly change the area, and agreed two homes would be appropriate. Nahree Ki, Church of All Nations -4301 Benjamin Street stated she is strongly opposed to the proposed development, as it will disrupt the current natural oases. Dana Caraway -4343 Benjamin St NE stated she has recently moved into the area, and is very disappointed that the proposed development may be approved. Ms. Caraway requested development be limited to two homes. Mike Carter -3970 McKinley St NE stated he would like to see council approve two houses. Carter indicated that 20' is narrow for a fire truck, as well as snow removal and snow storage. Hikari Nakane -4525 Benjamin Street explained there is a significant slope in the area, and expressed concern with possible erosion if the root system is disturbed. Ms. Nakane requested environmental impact reports be considered. Roger Shasky -3719 Johnson St suggested the City attempt to purchase the property from the developer and improve the park. Shasky expressed concern with the proposed development fitting into the community. Mr. Shasky also commented that Silver Lake is need of improvements. Connie Shackle -4044 5th St NE commented that she didn't feel the request follows the comprehensive plan completely. Malcom Watson -1717 49th Ave NE suggested there may be a better way to lay the site out, noting the proposed houses are large for the lot size. Mayor Peterson expressed disappointment that the City didn't acquire the property, and stated it was difficult to change the course at this point; noting the developers proposal fits into the city's guidelines. Councilmember Schmitt reported the Rice Creek Watershed District is very aware of the issues associated with the project, and will have specific requirements for Mr. Brama's project. Councilmember Schmitt stated she has seen recent home sales in excess of $300,000 near the area, as well as $500,000 in the surrounding vicinity. Schmitt commented that the builder has brought forth a valid request, and the City should support the project. Councilmember Williams explained he was torn, and he understood the concerns of the neighbors. Councilmember Nawrocki stated he could support three homes along Stinson, but not the additional two on the back side. Councilmember Murzyn, Jr. wished the developer well, stating he thinks the proposed homes are overpriced for the area. City Council Minutes September 12, 2016 Page 5 of 11 City Attorney Jim Hoeft stated if the seven lot option were voted on, the council could deny that based on development standards, or they could grant approval. If the six lot option is considered, there would be no legal basis to deny the request to allow the developer to subdivide the property. Motion by Councilmember Schmitt, seconded Councilmember Murzyn, Jr. to waive the reading of Resolution 2016 -75, with the amendment to change to six lots verses seven, there being ample copies available to the public. 3 Ayes, 2 Nays; Motion failed. Cit Attorney Hoeft explained a waiving of the reading requires a 415 vote, Mayor Peterson read Resolution 2016 -75 in its entirety. Ayes: Peterson, Williams, Schmitt. Nays: Nawrocki and Murzyn, Jr. Councilmember Williams questioned if he could abstain. City Attorney Hoeft stated that without a conflict of interest statement, he cannot abstain. Motion by Councilmember Schmitt, seconded by Mayor Peterson to adopt Resolution 2016 -75, as amended to approve the Preliminary Plat to Section 9.115 of City Code, for the property located at 4400 Stinson Boulevard NE. subject to certain conditions of approval. 3 Ayes, 2 Nays; Motion Carried. Ayes: Peterson, Williams, Schmitt. Nays: Nawrocki and Murzyn, Jr. Mayor Peterson commented that this will be a nice addition to the community.

Resolution 2016 -67 adopting a proposed budget for the year 2017, setting the proposed city levy, approving the HRA levy, approving a tax rate increase, and establishing a budget hearing date for property taxes payable in 2017. Motion by Councilmember Schmitt, seconded by Councilmember Murzyn, Jr. to waive the reading of Resolution 2016 -67, there being ample copies available to the public. All Ayes, Motion Carried Councilmember Nawrocki suggested the additional $340,000 from area wide fiscal disparities subsidy be used to reduce the overall anticipated levy. Finance Director Joe Kloiber explained the $340,000 increase is to the gross levy. There is a reduction of $60,000 in the local share of property taxes for 2017. Kloiber noted that in 2016 there was a substantial cut of approximately $450,000, in 2017 $400,000 of that is expected to be restored. The 2016 budget was cut to reflect the unexpected decrease in fiscal disparities with the expectation to restore in 2017. Kloiber explained tonight's action is the first step in a three month budget process, tonight's proposed levy will be certified to the County in order for them to prepare notices for the truth in taxation hearing in December. Kloiber cautioned against reducing the levy at this preliminary point, and suggested waiting until the public has an opportunity for input. Councilmember Nawrocki noted the utility rate increase has almost doubled from 2016. Nawrocki suggested amending the resolution to reduce the proposed levy by $340,000, and made a motion to amend the resolution. The motion failed for lack of a second. City Manager Walt Fehst commented that the net result is that the amount of money received will offset the increase in expenditures by approximately $60,000.
