Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 15, 2008 Page 18 Mayor Klausing opined that the turnaround made more sense on public property; did not support extra roadway width; and noted that the roadway had been im- posed on the developer at the City's desire to access a public park. Councilmember Willmus sought clarification from Councilmember Roe whether he would reconsider his position if the cul-de-sac were constructed on City prop- erty at the cost of the developer. Councilmember Roe indicated that he would do so. Mayor Klausing opened the meeting for public comment on this matter, with no one appearing to speak. Pust moved, Willmus seconded, approval of the FINAL PLAT (Applewood Pointe of Langton Lake) by United Properties for redevelopment of 3010 Cleve- land Avenue N with a 95-unit age-restricted cooperative housing development; creating two (2) lots for a senior cooperative, and including no outlots for future development, and public road right-of--way dedication for Langton Lake Drive, including all necessary public easements, subject to the conditions detailed in Sec- tion 8 of the project report dated September 15, 2008; and providing sufficient right-of-way to construct the cul-de-sac on the developer's property on Lot 1. Discussion ensued regarding staff report, Section 7.7 and dedicated easements; timing of the right-of--way period at one year; and Mr. Schwartz's concerns, from a Public Works' standpoint, that if there was going to be no connection to the ex- isting parking lot, why the City would want to take on the expense of this addi- tional roadway, and asked that the City Council consider that before dedicating public right-of--way. As the maker of the motion, Councilmember Pust withdrew the motion; opining that the developer should construct the roadway as a private driveway. Pust moved, Ihlan seconded, approval of the FINAL PLAT (Applewood Pointe of Langton Lake) by United Properties for redevelopment of 3010 Cleveland Ave- nue Nwith a 95-unit age-restricted cooperative housing development; creating two (2) lots for a senior cooperative, and no dedication of public roadway, and including any easements that staff deems required for drainage and/or utility easements; for future development, subject to the conditions detailed in Section 8 of the project report dated September 15, 2008. Discussion included staff's concerns with implications to the developer with this motion (i.e., private road changing setbacks and location of the building); focus on the park, rather than connections to it; and the need for a turnaround.
