Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 15, 2008 Page 13 subject to the conditions detailed in Section 8 of the project report dated Septem- ber 15, 2008. Mr. Trudgeon advised that one correction to staffts report was the width of the roadway: proposed to be twenty-six feet (26') in width up to the curve (crosswalk at Mount Ridge Road right-of--way); and thirty-two feet (32') thereafter. Mr. Trudgeon also reviewed, for the record, several outstanding issues remaining for negotiation between the developer and City, as detailed in Section 9.2 of the staff report. Mr. Trudgeon addressed length of the road; connections and turn- around for public safety purposes and snowplowing; location of the turnaround on developer or City park property; and park dedication fees, with the developer in- dicating that they feel they've satisfied those requirements through construction of the road servicing the park. Councilmember Roe noted that there was not a copy of the ordinance, dated in June of 2007, when the City Council took action for underlying zoning to be re- zoned from B6 to R3as part of the Preliminary Plat and General Concept Review. Mr. Trudgeon advised that standard procedure was for the property to be rezoned until the Final Plan has been presented for approval; and opined that an ordinance should be adopted as part of tonight's action. Mr. Trudgeon also noted that as part of the City's Comprehensive Plan Update currently in process, future land use designation was for this parcel to be designation high density residential. Councilmember Pust opined that the turnaround should be on the developer's property and that they should pay park dedication fees as outlined in the staff re- port. Councilmember Ihlan sought clarification on impervious surface calculations on this proposal. Mr. Trudgeon advised that he didn't have those calculations available tonight, but would provide them later. Councilmember Ihlan reiterated her concerns addressed in the previous action item regarding this proposed project; and her preference for preservation of the low quality Oak woodland and wildlife habitat areas; and opined that the AUAR, page 20, committed the City to seeking parkland dedication fees and preserving those areas. Councilmember Ihlan spoke in support of requiring park land dedica- tion fees and removing the public road. Mayor Klausing noted his previous requests that Councilmembers raise such is- sues with staff before a meeting, rather than bringing them forward at the bench,
