least through September. There was a brief discussion on possible benefits. The mayor will provide the <br />council with copies of job descriptions he’s obtained from the League of Minnesota Cities and this will <br />be discussed at the council’s September workshop. <br />Phase II environmental study, redevelopment grant, feasibility study. Heidi Peper from SEH explained <br />the process and timelines involved with the Phase II environmental study and applying for a grant to <br />help defray the costs of the study. She then talked about a redevelopment grant that could help cover <br />some of the costs for supplying city water to the Hoffman’s Corner redevelopment area. She next <br />explained the need for a feasibility study as a requirement for the special assessment process. There are <br />timeframes to complete each of these tasks as well as deadlines for grant applications. SEH will come to <br />the September council meeting with a proposal for the feasibility study, which is in addition to the $64K <br />for the Phase II environmental study. <br />Presentations from the public – David Gardner approached the council to illustrate a discrepancy with <br />the current comprehensive plan and land use map as they relate to his 2009 purchase of land commonly <br />known as the “Murphy property,” which he has set aside as a trust and a conservation easement. As <br />such, this land cannot be developed and this needs to be reflected in the comprehensive plan and land <br />use map. Upon a motion by Artig-Swomley and seconded by Bosak, the council voted 5-0 to revise, at a <br />time when it’s convenient to do so, language in the comprehensive plan and land use map <br />acknowledging Gardner’s land known as the “Murphy property” will not be developed. This parcel will <br />be removed from the area defined as the Gateway District. <br />Joel Holstad, representing a title insurance company who’s working on behalf of Mike Brass and Tom <br />Hansen, approached the council to ask for what types of development they would prefer to see in the <br />vacant parcel west of Daniels’ Farm Road. The council explained that the area was known as the <br />Neighborhood Edge part of the Gateway District and required that development be limited to residential <br />uses. <br />Presentations from the council – None. <br />Adjourn <br />There being no further business upon motion by Artig-Swomley and seconded by Bosak, Mayor Uzpen <br />adjourned the meeting at 8:37PM.
