Regular City Council Meeting Monday,August 26, 2019 Page 8 the road with financing and the ability to pull projects together and get things moving in a timely fashion. Councilmember Laliberte asked if there should be anything in the condition re- garding TIF payments. Mayor Roe thought that was part of the development agreement. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte, Groff, Etten, and Roe. Nays: None. Councilmember Etten asked in regard to the traffic study, this study looks at traf- fic on Fairview but never looks east to County Road C and Snelling, where twen- ty-five percent of the traffic for this is supposed to go. He wondered if staff learned anything from this. Ms. Gundlach indicated she spoke to other staff about this and the city is going to provide the traffic study that Reuter Walton prepared to the traffic engineer who is doing the traffic study for the Boaters Outlet site in order to factor in the twen- ty-five percent increase. The intersections can be evaluated on how the intersec- tion will work when combined with all the other potentials that may happen on that stretch on County Road C. Mr. Marc Culver, Public Works Director, reviewed some of the potential issues and concerns with the intersections in the area. Willmus moved, Laliberte seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 11630 entitled, "Resolution Approving the Proposed Fairview Avenue Addition Final Plat amending condition C to read `prior to issuance of any city permits for develop- ment of Lot 1, Block 1, Fairview Avenue Addition, a dedication of cash in lieu of park land shall be paid in the amount of$508,000' (PF19-016)." Council Discussion Councilmember Willmus explained he fully grasped and understood the conun- drum the Council is in and he also understands the need and desire to move for- ward and see if these areas develop and redevelop. There certainly is some risk involved. On some level this is something of an intangible and what the city is working with. He thought the wording that staff has come forward with, if this does not come to fruition, the city will step back from utilizing TIF dollars to help support the project and something that will have some teeth to it.
