<br />Mr. March gave some background concerning the private roads in the townhome <br />development. He indicated that Council was presented with information that the roads <br />would be narrower and, therefore, less expensive for the property owners to maintain <br />through the Townhome Association. At the time, Council agreed that the argument made <br />sense and felt that the City should not dictate when maintenance is done on the <br />townhome streets. He noted that the City could probably get a much better cost for <br />repairs and maintenance of the streets. He then noted that the City would consider a <br />petition for making the streets public. <br /> <br />Mr. Ingison questioned how to start a petition. Mr. March explained he was not sure of <br />the exact process but stated he would check with the City Attorney and report back to the <br />President of the Townhome Association. <br /> <br />Mr. Ingison questioned if there would be enough time to petition the City before the <br />developer received his approval. Mr. March explained the City is under statutory time <br />requirements to provide a response to the developer. If the issues are not resolved, the <br />City could request an extension of time to answer or deny the preliminary plat <br />application. <br /> <br />Mr. Ingison questioned if he could go to City Hall tomorrow to commence the process. <br />Mr. March acknowledged that he could come to City Hall tomorrow and commence the <br />process. <br /> <br />Mr. Juhl stated that residents do not have many problems with Gor-Em but have many <br />with Swift Construction. <br /> <br />Mr. Albrecht questioned if Mr. Quigley would go back and see if there were some other <br />way to design the development. He suggested giving up one house, coming in off of a <br />different street, and dead-ending Ojibway Drive. Mr. Quigley stated he would go back <br />and review the plan. He then noted there will be no unresolved issues as he would review <br />the engineering comments and address the issues. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner DeVine, seconded by Commissioner Kilian to close the <br />public hearing. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br /> <br />Chairperson Hanson closed the public hearing at 7:33 p.m. <br /> <br /> 2. Comprehensive Plan & MUSA Swap Updates – Pheasant Marsh <br /> <br />Chairperson Hanson opened the public hearing at 7:34 p.m. <br /> <br />Mr. Terry Hannah, Ground Development, updated the Commission on the status of the <br />MUSA swap request. <br /> <br />Page 6 of 12 <br /> <br />
