Mayor Klausing opined that the AUAR was implemented through development of the area, and as proj ects came forward, mitigation strategies were enacted at that time, not during the platting process. Mr. Trudgeon concurred with Mayor Klausing's observations; opining that all right-of-way is impacted, and that the AUAR identified the area as low quality with undesirable trees; and further noting that there would also be replanting of trees and landscaping for mitigation purposes. Councilmember Ihlan, referencing page 20 of the AUAR, reviewed comments regarding moderate wildlife value, specifically in the northern portion of the proposed development area and the need to preserve wildlife. Councilmember Ihlan opined that there was nothing in the AUAR regarding a road in that location, and that the area not be re-platted until there was a determination in how to make it work. Councilmember Roe sought clarification from staff that the original Preliminary Plat had been approved in June of 2007; and that the AUAR Update had been completed in the fall of 2007, and did include the proposed right-of-way. Mr. Trudgeon concurred with Councilmember Roe's review. Roll Call Ayes: Roe; Willmus; Pust; and Klausing. Nays: Ihlan. Motion carried. Consider Request by United Properties (in cooperation with the property owners) for a Final Development, Rezoning, and Final Development Planned Unit Development and Agreement for 3010 Cleveland Avenue N(PF07-006) Community Development Director Patrick Trudgeon reviewed staff's analysis of the request for approval of the FINAL PLAT (Applewood Pointe of Langton Lake) by United Properties for redevelopment of 3010 Cleveland Avenue N with a 95-unit age-restricted cooperative housing development; creating one lot for a senior cooperative and an outlot 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 Section 8 of the project report dated September 15, 2008. Mr. Trudgeon advised that one correction to staff's 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 turnaround for public safety purposes and snowplowing; location of the turnaround on developer or City park property; and park dedication fees, with the developer indicating 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 rezoned 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
