City Council Regular Meeting - 01110/05 Minutes - Page 26 found no prohibition in the law, that it was more of a policy decision, not a legal problem, for the Council's review and consideration. Further discussion ensued regarding first and second readings of zoning ordinances and amendments; and permit application requirements. Councilmember Kough presented a letter to be included as part of the record and in the minutes, dated January 5, 2005, addressed to individual City Councilmembers and the City Attorney, offering objections to tonight's proposed requests for action related to this issue, and signed by Ms. Ihlan and Councilmember Tom Kough. [12.1 Master Site Plan Amendment] Maschka moved, Schroeder seconded, and later amended approval of the proposed amendment to the Twin Lakes Master Site Plan, as prepared by Rottlund Homes for the October 14, 2004 Planning Commission and October 25, 2004 Council meetings, and revised at the January 10, 2005 regular Council meeting to move the location of the proposed Twin Lakes Parkway further south 15 feet with elimination of parking on the north side of the parkway; subject to approvals and permits from the Rice Creek Watershed Organization and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MnDNR). Councilmember Ihlan spoke in opposition to the motion, reiterating her comments and concerns from previous meetings and correspondence related to her perception of a 4/5 requirement for amendment of the Comprehensive Plan and the "Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area Project; Roseville Comprehensive Plan, approved by the City of Roseville City Council on June 26, 2001." Councilmember Kough questioned fellow Councilmembers as to their acceptance of any campaign contributions from the developer. Mayor Klausing responded negatively, and took exception to the questions.
