Regular City Council Meeting Monday,July 22, 2013 Page 18 to fit with existing neighborhoods and homes. Mr. McElroy sited an example of Edina, MN with a similar problem and in the news recently. Mr. McElroy further opined that he anticipated that the homes would be "great and beautiful," would overwhelm their neighborhood in the middle of it. Mayor Roe expressed appreciation to the neighborhood for their involvement in and keeping their voice heard throughout the process; and for the work they had done to address their concerns. Councilmember McGehee noted several items brought up during public comment that needed further review by the City Council. Overall, Councilmember McGe- hee expressed her support of the current drainage proposal; and suggested that drainage issues going forward, since the City seemed to have a lot of them. Councilmember McGehee opined that the open house had been helpful; and en- couraged the City Council to continue facilitate open houses and dialogue be- tween developers and neighborhoods to make sure it continued. McGehee moved, Etten seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 11081 (Attachment G) entitled, "A Resolution Approving the Final Plat and Public Improvement Contract of Josephine Heights (PF13-005);" for the large, un-addressed vacant residential parcel on Millwood Avenue between Victoria and Chatsworth Streets; amended to correct street references and removing reference to the homeowners association as noted. Councilmember Willmus expressed appreciation to the developer for holding the open house and discussing their proposal with the neighborhood; as well as his appreciation for the landscape plan and plantings proposed on the new lots rather than encroaching on existing properties. Councilmember Willmus thanked the neighbors for their active role, resulting in changes to developments going for- ward and formalizing a process for open houses on smaller developments such as this. Councilmember Willmus agreed that public comment on scale of homes on infill lots may need further review in the future. Councilmember Laliberte thanked everyone in the process; noting that while it had started out rough and staff had neglected to review the site in person before moving forward with the process, the end result was positive. While expressing appreciation that the process had improved as it moved forward and thanked eve- ryone for their additional efforts specific to this development, Councilmember Laliberte opined that anytime neighbors brig their concerns forward, staff needed to be as equally aware of and concerned in addressing those concerns. Councilmember Etten thanked the neighbors for their work, time and effort; and acknowledged the change and positive movements made; with everyone learning and improving the process moving forward.
