Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,July 10, 2023 <br /> Page 10 <br /> Etten moved, Schroeder seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 12003 entitled, <br /> "Resolution Approving the Proposed Danny Boy Estates Preliminary Plat (PF23- <br /> 02)." <br /> Council Discussion <br /> Councilmember Etten explained this property was rezoned several years ago with <br /> the intention of encouraging this type of development, a very needed form of <br /> medium density housing so he thought this was a great proposal. He appreciated <br /> that what could have been two more lots has been left for the water retention pond. <br /> He thought this was also an excellent step down, noting there is high density next <br /> to it, between that and the single-family homes, and a bingo hall on the south side <br /> and a parking lot. He stated this is a really good use of this space and a highly in <br /> demand housing source for the City.

She did not think there <br /> would be a noticeable difference in the number of cars coming and going either <br /> with how busy the park is. <br /> Councilmember Groff explained this is the type of housing that is in demand and a <br /> good addition to this area. <br /> Mayor Roe added there continues to be a concern in the neighborhood about access <br /> in and out of the neighborhood ever since the State closed down the more robust <br /> access at Snelling. He thought the City should continue to look at the access on the <br /> Fairview side and how that looks going forward. <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: Etten, Schroeder, Groff, and Roe. <br /> Nays: None <br /> c. Review and Discuss Pending Future Agenda Items <br /> City Manager Patrick Trudgeon briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the <br /> Request for Council Action and related attachments dated July 10, 2023. <br /> Mayor Roe noted the first item is regarding inspection of single-family rentals that <br /> Councilmember Etten brought up previously. He asked Councilmember Etten for <br /> an update. <br /> Councilmember Etten explained he had some discussions with staff about this and, <br /> for him,he would pull this off the list for consideration at this time because of how <br /> much additional staff time it would take. He noted it could potentially add a couple <br />
