UNFINISHED BUSINESS
8.a. Evaluation of City Administrator
In accordance with the terms of the employment contract with City Administrator Martin, the City
Council conducted a performance evaluation during a closed meeting held on December 6, 2022.
City Administrator Martin discussed the results of the evaluation. Councilmembers praised Mr.
Martin for his continued high performance and leadership.
NEW BUSINESS
9.a. Request by Real Estate Equities, for Preliminary and Final Plat approval to develop a
multifamily community and a Major Amendment to the Amber Fields Planned Unit
Development Agreement
Economic Development Coordinator Van Oss presented the request by Real Estate Equities for the
approval of Preliminary and Final Plats and a Major Amendment to the Amber Fields Planned Unit
Development Agreement to construct a 160-unit multifamily community on a parcel of land owned
by Maplewood Development within Amber Fields. The proposed addition requests deviations to the
off-street parking requirements; 1.8 stalls per unit.
The Planning Commission reviewed the request and recommended approval of the preliminary and
final plats for Amber Fields 8th Addition and a major amendment to the Amber Fields Planned Unit
Development Agreement, subject to conditions in the recommended actions with the Engineer’s
memorandum. Van Oss noted there was no public comment received during the public hearing on
November 22, 20222.
Councilmembers question the parking stall deviation and the applicant found 1.4 stalls per unit is
sufficient enough based on previous projects completed. Staff noted, our city code parking
requirements are on the higher end and the code is under review and may be updated to align with
the current demands.
The developer and architecht further discussed the project; the estimated timeframe to open could
be in early 2025, discussed the colors and elevation heights and noted the units will be affordable
housing.
