Senior Planner Zweber explained the standards in both the City ordinance and State rules and discussed where the trail would be located around Horseshoe Lake. Council member DeBettignies expressed concern with the comments made by the NNG representative at the Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Zweber stated that the City will work with NNG regarding the trails and the developer will work with NNG regarding the roads. The City will need permits from NNG prior to any infrastructure installation on the site can begin. I Applicant, Jeremy Duehr, with Arcadis, on behalf of Pulte Group, approached the Council and stated that Pulte agreed with all conditions except two" the loss of Lot 10, Block 5 due to the proposed park land dedication, and the fees. Mr. Dueh-r stated Pulte would prefer to dedicate two acre's of trail corridor through the greenway area instea&of losing a buildable lot. Mayor Droste allowed public comment. Jackie Young, 12895 Bengal Avenue, stated the area is veiy unique and developing 180 homes across from a rural area would be changing the area density too much. She stated her concern with the increased traffic and her opinion that the area designated for a park is too small. She, stated that if 130th Street is developed into a major road connecting to Bacardi, too much traffic will be in the area affecting several daycares. Mr. Brotzler addressed Ms. Young's comment regarding 130th Street saying that the comp plan and more specifically, the transportation plan, does include.an extension of 130th but due to its currently undeveloped nature,`construction will likely not occur until the property to the south is developed. In addition, Mr. Brotzler spoke to the issue of increased traffic on Bonaire and what was projected when the AUAR was completed. He confirmed that Akron Avenue will (become a major corridor in the future continuing to the north through Rosemount into Inver Grove Heights alleviating the increase of traffic to Highway 3. Discussion took place about the park land being dedicated and the removal of Lot 10. Parks and Recreation Director Schultz gave a comparison of the park dedicated land in the ROSEMOUNT CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING PROCEEDINGS AUGUST 1, 2011 Evermoor development and then showed diagrams of the park development staff is reviewing in the Marshes development. He stated Lot 10 is needed twmake the park a decent size. It was discussed that Pulte Group is requesting a fee reduction and Mr. Brotzlerf explained to the Council what staff is proposing to allow for reductions of the trunk area fees. Mr. Duehr approached again to speak on the fees stating that in comparison with the Evermoor development, this development has half the. density yet each resident would still be paying the same amount of fees. He stated that Pulte Group is requesting a further reduction` in the fees to account for the amount of undeveloped land within the subdivision. Mary McDaris from Pulte Group approached the Council and requested the Council to consider a further reduction in the trunk fees due to the percentage of uridevelopable land on the site. He requested the fees be calculated on a net acreage formula which would be a reduction of approximately 50 %. Mr. McDaris further stated that the fees are a large financial r'piece of the project and important in their ability to move forward with the project. The Council discussed, the fees and proposed reduction and could not approve a further reduction from what was already proposed. It was noted that if the fees were reduced for this property, other developments would have to pay more, or the general'public, to make up the difference. Mr. McDaris, requested, the Council table the item to allow Pulte more time to discuss the impacts of not being granted the fee reduction. He stated time is of the essence and he would like the item tabled to the next Council meeting. Ms. Lindquist stated that a request in writing would be required in order to extend the 120 day requirement. Mr. McDaris concurred. Motion by DeBettignies.
