<br />March 14,2001 <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br /> <br />not attorneys, who thought that information received from the City could be comfortably <br />relied upon. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra commented she had met with the Blakes and understands their <br />concerns with regard to varying from the approved plan. She stated she understands the <br />importance of the line of sight with lake front property. She stated she feels City <br />employees did what they felt was appropriate at the time, and that it is unfortunate that <br />the information the Blakes relied upon was incorrect. She then offered her apologies to <br />them for the way the situation was handled. <br /> <br />Council Member Travis suggested the City should do some research as he believes in <br />most communities there is a minimum and a maximum setback requirement. <br /> <br />Mrs. Blake stated she does not want restitution but wants a consistent plan that will be <br />followed for all residents. She then stated she felt they were treated unfairly and she <br />hopes there is a way to correct the problem from this point forward. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson apologized for the way the Blakes were treated. She stated it is <br />important to her that all residents are treated fairly and she thinks Staff does that. She <br />stated it is unfortunate that the information Staff relied upon when advising the Blakes <br />was incorrect. She agreed with Council Member Travis that the City needs to look at <br />amending the ordinance with minimum and maximum setback requirements. <br /> <br />Mrs. Blake thanked Council for its time. <br /> <br />VII. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />VIII. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />1. Eagle Pass Sketch Plan <br /> <br />Mike Quigley representing Gor-em Development addressed Council and showed the <br />sketch plan for Eagle Pass. He explained Council Member Broussard Vickers had asked <br />at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting that something be done to screen the <br />road that went through the back yards of the existing homes. He pointed out how the <br />street was redesigned to screen it from the backyards with different types of plantings. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg asked several clarifying questions of the Developer. He then asked Mr. <br />March if there was a designated time for developing the Outlot. Mr. March explained the <br />outlots were left large enough to be built on in the future but there was nothing specific in <br />the first plan. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson noted the buildings on Lots 11-18 looked smaller than the other <br />homes. The Developer explained they are smaller as they are single detached townhomes <br />rather than twin homes. <br /> <br />Council Member Travis asked when the Developer would be starting construction. <br />Page 5 of15 <br />
