Regular City Council Meeting <br />Monday, December 17, 2007 <br />Page 23 <br />approved tonight by the City Council, all -not some - of the conditions will be <br />met. <br />Councilmember Pust asked Mr. Livingston if he was currently in discussions with <br />Metropolitan Transit about a Park and Ride Facility. <br />Mr. Livingston responded that he was not in discussions for Park and Ride on this <br />site. <br />Additional discussion included current temporary, secondary, and future perma- <br />nent access onto Mount Ridge Road as required by the Fire and Police Depart- <br />ments. <br />Mr. Paschke advised that at this time, Mount Ridge Road has a maintained road <br />surface, while not actually a formal street; staff was requiring connection be made <br />on a temporary basis for emergency access. <br />Councilmember Pust, due to past miscommunications, sought clarification on Mr. <br />Livingston's understanding of staff's condition that access onto Mount Ridge <br />Road was installed on a temporary basis until a permanent road was built. <br />Mr. Livingston responded, while just receiving the letter last week, he understood <br />the need to adjust access points, which required elimination of the restaurant. Mr. <br />Livingston noted that elimination of the restaurant had been a huge burden to the <br />developer, but they were interested in the greater good of the Twin Lakes area; <br />and was trying to resolve how things would work out. Mr. Livingston advised <br />that, in consideration of conversations with the City's traffic department, and with <br />other developers on the location of Mount Ridge Road, he was open to resolving <br />the access issue, and was also in conversation with the neighbor to the north, on <br />potentially combining access points and achieving better solutions in the near fu- <br />ture. <br />Mr. Livingston concluded by advising that he was willing to look at what it was <br />going to take to get a hotel at that location, noted that to-date, they'd met staffls <br />goals, and his intent was to go through the final approval process to find resolu- <br />tion. <br />Further discussion included lack of environmental clean up on the site, based on <br />seller disclosures; southern elevations of the motel and their aesthetics, landscap- <br />ing and decorative features; and the applicant's lack of requests for infrastructure <br />subsidies, unless it became apparent that they could prove beneficial to all as a <br />collective solution, that may require further review. <br />Klausing moved, Ihlan seconded, approval of the request by Cent Ventures for a <br />Preliminary Plat, Rezoning and General Concept Planned Unit Development <br />
