City Council Regular Meeting —11/08/04 DRAFT Minutes - Page 33 8.b Consider Adopting a Resolution Amending the Timeframes within the Contract Between the City of Roseville and the Rottlund Companies in Light of the EAW Petition Maschka moved, Schroeder seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 10259 entitled, "A Resolution Authorizing Extension of Deadlines in the Contract for Exclusive Negotiations between the City of Roseville, Minnesota and the Rottlund Company, Inc., for the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area." Councilmember Ihlan questioned language in Section 3 of the resolution entitled, "Authorizations," as it related to extending the deadline after Rottlund had received concept plan approval. Councilmember Ihlan interpreted this language to provide an indefinite extension to the Contract for Exclusive Negotiations with Rottlund Homes. Councilmember Ihlan questioned: 1) Why extend at all? 2) How does this extension serve the best interest of the City? Mayor Klausing questioned what Councilmember Ihlan proposed. Councilmember Ihlan declined any proposal; referencing Page 5 of the Contract for Exclusive Negotiations, where the developer responsibilities were outlined, with provisions regarding termination if steps were not met; and opined that only the December 31, 2004 deadline should be extended, not the March 31, 2004 deadline, further opining that it was not in the City's best interest to extend the dates on a blanket basis. City Manager Beets reviewed the contract deadlines that were in place, related to Council direction and terms — with key dates of September 30, 2004; December 31, 2004; and march 31, 2004; opining that without extending the deadlines, it would make it difficult for the parties to Resolution 10259 Amending the Timeframes within the Contract Between the City of Roseville and the Rottlund Companies in Light of the EAW Petition
