Adjournment -' CITY of ANDOVER REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - APRIL 21, 1987 MINUTES The Regular BI-Monthly Meeting of the Andover City Council was cal led to order by Acting Mayor Ken Orttel on Aprl I 21, 1987, 7:30, at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota. Councilmen present: EI ling, Knight, Lachinskl <arrived at 8:30 p.m.) Mayor Windschltl arrived at 8:50 p.m. Councilmen absent: None Also present: City Attorney, William G. Hawkins; TKDA Engineer, John Rodeberg; Clerk Administrator/Engineer, James Schrantz; and others RESIDENT FORUM A gentleman from 173rd approached the Council about blacktopping 173rd. He said a lot of money is being spent to maintain the gravel road. He understands I t Is due to have new gravel put on It now, and suggested that money be put toward the cost of blacktopping the road Instead. He also felt It would save money in maintenance if it were paved. Counc i ] noted the policy of doing road improvements at the request of a majority of the residents in the area, suggesting he may want to petition the neighbors.

Greg Dahl, be deleted, and that Items 7c, Schedule of Projects, 7d, Approve Comprehensive Plan/Refer for Hea.ing, 7e, CR 18 Wetlands EAW Bridge Alternatives, and 7f, Commercial Park Plat Review, be added to the Agenda. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, to approve the Agenda as amended. Motion car.led on a 3-Yes, 2-Absent <Lachinski, Windschitl) vote. LONG RANGE COMMUNITY EDUCATION PLAN/DeLUCA Melanie DeLuca, Community School Coordinator, reviewed the long range community education plans fo. Andover integrating the p.ograms for both Crooked Lake and the new school. The only change in the 1987-88 school year Is an Increase of $2,520 for a Key Communicator Aide. She explained for the following yea., 1988-89, they would be moving the hub of the operation to the new school because of the many additional facilities available; however, there will be programs at both schools. Regular City Council Meeting Apri] 21, 1987 - Minutes Page 2 (Long Range Community Education Plan, Continued) Ms. DeLuca also explained because of the additional facilities at the new schoo I , there is the potential to expand the community education prog~am and possibly include a latch key p~ogram, provide expanded athletic and building use, etc. It was Ms. DeLuca's opinion that the funding of the program would continue on the same ratio from the City, the school district, and by user fees. Counc i I genera11y agreed to the concept; but because i t is a budgeta~y item, prefe~red to take action on it when a fu I I Counc i I is present. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Elling, that we table this until we have a full Council, the first meeting in May. Mati on carr i ed on a 3-Yes, 2-Absent (Lachinski, Windschitl) vote. VACATION OF EASEMENT/NIGHTINGALE ESTATES 3RD ADDITION/PUBLIC HEARING MOTION by El1ing, Seconded by Knight, an Ordinance vacating an easement in Nightingale Estates Third Addition. Motion carried on a 3-Yes vote. The Attorney advised a 4/5 vote is needed to pass an ordinace vacating an easement. It was agreed to table this to later in the meeting when there Is a full Council. MOTION by EllIng, Seconded by Knight, to withdraw the previous moti on. Motion carried on a 3-Yes, 2-Absent (Lachlnski, Windschltl) vote. DECLARE ADEQUACY OF PETITION/STOP SIGNS/135TH & JONQUIL AREA Eleanor Dickson. 13464 Jonqu I I - stated she gave the petition to Councilman Lachinski. She explained the problem they have with people driving at high speeds along Jonquil. She cal led the sheriff, but they have been unable to solve the problem. She felt they should sit with radar at the end of Jonquil by 135th rather than along Bunke~ Lake Boulevard. The worst times of the day are about 6:30 to 6:45 and right after the high school gets out. Councilman EJ ling noted the problems of stop signs in other neighborhoods In that they really do not resolve the speeding probJem. Ms. Dickson - disagreed, thinking In this case the stop signs will slow the drivers down. She has reported incidents of speeding, having the license numbe~ and idenity of the person; but the Deputy told her there is nothing they can do. Many times it is not the people in the neighborhood, but kids coming into the area to visit friends. Regular City Council Meeting Apri 1 21, 1987 - Minutes Page 3 (Stop Signs - 135th & Jonqui 1 Area, Continued) DOUQ Stockamp. 13617 JonQu il - agreed with a stop sign. But there is the same problem on the service road along Bunker Lake Boulevard, and there are stop signs along there. He asked the speed I imi t in residential areas and whether that can be reduced. Counc I I noted the speed limit is 30 mph and can only be changed by the State; however, it is never dropped below 30 mph other than a school zone. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Elling, to refer this to the Sheriff's Department askIng them patrol with unmarked cars and radar and to comment on the possibility of stop signs in that area. Motion carried on a 3-Yes, 2-Absent (Lachinski, Windschitl) vote. One resident asked if a unanimous petition is meaningful to the Council. He thought stop signs would help because there is a curve beyond it so drivers couldn't get up a lot of speed after the stop sign. He also felt it would be better for the police to set up the radar at the cross street of 135th. Acting Mayor Orttel thought the petI tion is meaningful. This is a safety issue they must resolve. Stop signs have been tried in other areas, and it was found it does not stop the speeders and can even be more of a safety hazard if it is ignored. Discussion with the residents was on trying to resolve the problem in the neighborhood through the Key Communicator program or through Mediation Services, the new neighborhood mediation service provided by the county. APPROVE SAFETY MANUAL MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Elling, the adop tI on of the changes as presented in the Safety Manual. Motion carried on a 3-Yes, 2-Absent (Lachinski, Windschitl) vote. ACCEPT RESIGNATION/J. PIRKL/P&Z MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Elling, to accept the resignation of Joy Pirkl, sending her a letter of thanks for the work she has done, and advertising for a replacement. Motion carried on a 3-Yes, 2-Absent (Lachinski, Windschitl) vote. SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS Mr. Rodeberg reviewed an AprIl 21, 1987, memo on improvement project schedules. He explained they reaiistically think the 87-3C, Coon Creek Trunk, project will be completed by October 1. But the 87-2, Hills of Bunker Lake Phase I , project which needs the trunk line is expected to Regular City Council Meeting Apri I 21, 1987 - Minutes Page 4 (Schedule of Projects, Continued) be completed by September 1 He also thought the county project would be completed by September 1. So there would be a 30-day problem of having to pump the sewer for those two projects until the sewer trunk line is completed. Mr. Rodeberg was also optimistic the construction of the trunk line would go smoothly, stating he believes there are only two potential problems in acquiring the right of way for that project. No Counc II action was required. APPROVE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT/REFER FOR HEARING Mr. Rodeberg stated the Metropolitan Council staff has indicated they would allow preliminary approval of the area as submitted last time for sanitary sewer service. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Elling, that we send on to the Planning and Zoning Commission for public hearing, the requested changes In the sewer area as presented at the last meeting, the amendment to the Comprehensive Sewer and Transportation Plan. Motion carried on a 3-Yes, 2-Absent (Lachinski, Windschitl) vote. CR 18 WETLANDS EAW BRIDGE ALTERNATIVES Mr. Rodeberg asked the Council to agree on one of the four options for a bridge across the wetlands to submit along with the EAW for the real ignment of Crosstown Boulevard south of 139th. They are In the process of filling out the Environmental Assessment Worksheet and will be submitting everything to the DNR. Mr. Rodeberg explained the 10-foot wide, 6-foot high precast concrete cuJvert would be 78 feet long but Is the least expensive alternative. He stated the water wou1d only be about two feet deep through the bridge and there would be no water flow. This spring there is no water there at all, but the DNR wants to bridge over the wetlands area to so the passage of wildlife Is unencumbered. After discussion with the Council on the size of the bridge and the DNR requests, Mr. Rodeberg stated they will review the size of the culvert and see if it can be downsized. Counc II asked the engineers to try to Incorporate a 4-foot bicycle path along the roadway. (Councilman Lachinskl arrived at this time. 8:30 p.m.) MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Elling, that we accept Option A at a price of $48,500 as presented (one 10' x 6' precast concrete box culvert). Motion carried on a 4-Yes, I-Absent (Wlndschitl) vote. Regular City Council Meeting -- Regular CIty Council Meeting Apri I 21, 1987 - Minutes Page 5 TURNBERRY SKETCH PLAN Attorney HawkIns noted the applIcant has sued the City over the use of thIs property. He advIsed the CouncIl that until such time as there 15 a resolution of thIs matter by court decIsion or a wrItten signed settlement agreement regarding the dIsposItIon of the iawsult that consideration of this sketch plan is premature. He recommended the Item be tabled untIl either a court decision or signed settlement agreement has taken place. Bruce Hav - stated there are no negotiations under way. He stated he trIed to negotiate but the Counc II wIll not talk to hIm. So he thought he'd bring In his proposal so the public could hear it. The Counc i I can deny it and let the publIc hear what Is beIng saId. He stated the CouncIl has the abIlity to grant varIances in certaIn zonings, and that Is what he is aSking for. Acting Mayor Orttel stated there were CouncIl dIscussIons and communications sent to Mr. Hay through the attorneys. MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by EllIng, that we table the item unti I such tIme as there is an agreement wIth the developer or until there is a court decision relatIng to the matter. Motion carrIed on a 4-Yes, I-Absent (WlndschItl) vote. Dave Mason. 4050 147th Lane - understands this particular area Is presently zoned for mobile homes. ActIng Mayor Orttel stated there is a specIal use permit to that affect. Mr. Mason - said his property borders four or five of the proposed Jots in the sketch plan. He understands there Is the lawsuit pending and that Mr. Hay has a court order statIng when sewer Is avai lable he can develop that into a moblJe home park. He also understands Mr. Hay made a request to the CIty to drop the lawsuit in regard to hIs beIng able to go ahead wIth this development. Mr. Mason feJt hIs property value wi II decrease Immensely If a mobile home park is allowed to go In there. If Mr. Hay has a special perml t to buIld the mobIle home park by court order, and by the Council putting a delay on him, if he can buIlt the mobI1e home park plus go ahead wIth, he Is told, the $5 mi I I Ion lawsuit, where does that put the homeowners in that area? Acting Mayor Orttel stated the Council is not aware of anythIng that has been sIgned that Mr. Hay Is willIng to drop the lawsuit If he were allowed to develop under thIs method. Mr. Mason - understands Mr. Hay has made those proposals but the Counc II Is not listening to him. As a homeowner and resIdent that would be dIrectly affected by decreased property values i f a mob I I e home park were developed there, he asked that the Counc I J lIsten to Mr. Hay at thIs point so the City won't receive a $5 million ]awsuit In addItIon to the mobIle home park. No further CouncIl actIon was taken. Regular City Council Meeting April 21, 1987 - Minutes Page 6 VACATION OF EASEMENT/NIGHTINGALE ESTATES 3RD ADDITION/PUBLIC HEARING MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Knight, introducing the ordinance vacating an easement in Nightingale Estates Third Addition as presented. Motion carried on a 4-Yes, I-Absent <Windschitl) vote. VACATION OF EASEMENT/PARTRIDGE STREET/THE OAKS/PUBLIC HEARING MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Elling, an ordinance vacating an easement for road purposes at the south end of Partridge in the Oaks in Section 27-32-24 as presented but to retain the easement for utility purposes. Motion carried unanimously. HILLS OF BUNKER LAKE FINAL PLAT/PHASE I The Counci 1 discussed the staff recommendations on the plat with the developers Jerry Green, Ron Smith, and Tony Emmerich. 1) The Final Plat is in conformance with the preliminary plat. Counc i I agreed. 2. Park Dedication: Mr. Green explained their Intent that the streets and parkland would be dedicated within each phase as they are developed. The park to the northwest is not in Phase I , and they hoped to complete the work and dedicate It at the time that area is developed, not at this time. <Mayor Windschltl arrived at this time. 8:50 p.m.) Mr. Green noted a portion of the nature park Is included in Phase 1. The final plat of this phase includes 149 lots and there is 16.8 acres of the nature park being dedicated at this time. They have an overal I agreement with the Park Board to pay $11,500 in park dedication fees plus the parks and nature area plus grade and seed the westerly park. In addition, they have since agreed to give land for municipal water. Mr. Green asked that the park dedication be done In stages as the plat develops, not all at this time. During the discussions it was determined that about 80 acres are included in the phase, and the nature park area included would satIsfy the legal requirements even if only 50 percent credit were given for that lowland. Counc i 1 also asked that one-third of the park dedication fee be paid with this plat, which amounts to $4,000. The object would be to keep up on the park dedication on a proportional basis to the overa1l plat In combination land and fee dedication, recognizing In some phases there could be little or no land dedication. Mr. Green then agreed, wanting assurances that those fees would be used to improve the westerly park. Counc i 1 agreed. .. Regular City CounciJ Meeting Apri I 21. 1987 - Minutes Page 7 (Hil Is of Bunker Lake Final Plat, Phase I , Continued) 3) Unfinished site grading. Mr. Schrantz noted the estimate from Lynn Caswe II that the rough grading on the first phase is about 77 percent complete within the street right of ways. Mr. Green stated they need to determine the dollar amount remaining based on their grading contract. They will escrow 1.5 of that amount wi th the expectation that when it is certified the grading Is completed, the escrow will be refunded back to them. He also noted the excavation of the pond, which Is a part of that grading contract, is completed. Counc i I agreed Mr. Schrantz would make the determination of the do I I ar amount of the escrow for the unfinished site grading. Unfi lied lots. According to the April 21, 1987, letter from Lynn Caswell, 28 lots in Phase I wi 11 require more materlal than can be generated from the basement excavation. He estimated the cost of filling those unfilled lots to be $14,000 4) Title opinion. Attorney Hawkins stated the title is satisfactory. 5) DeveJopment agreement. Attorney Hawkins stated he just needs some final figures for the agreement. He stated he has received the form of the Letter of Credit to be provided by the developers, feeling it is satisfactory. The Letter of Credit is automatically renewable. If the City certifies that money is due to the City, the bank cannot deny payment based on any defense that the person supplying the Letter of Credit may raise regarding the contract. Attorney Hawkins explained the developers will provide a certificate for $40,000 that Is assignable, and the difference would be a Letter of Credit, or they wi 11 provide a Letter of Credit for the full 15 percent. 6) Security for legal, engineering and signs. The developers agreed to provide the $3,000 still needed for this Item. 7) Soi Is. Mr. Haas stated the solIs report came In today, but he has not yet had a chance to evaJuate It. Mr. Schrantz asked how It will be communicated to potentlaJ buyers that these lots are not buildable, or buildable with some modifications required first. Attorney Hawkins stated the development contract has a provision which will be recorded against the plat that those lots are presently substandard and unsuitable for buiJding. The City has no oblIgation to Issue bui Idlng permits on those Jots until they are made buildable. Also, if those lots are not made buildable by September 1, no assessments will be levied against those lots. And the developers do not have the right to appeal the addltlonaJ amount that wouJd be levied among all the other lots. '" Regular City Council Meeting Apri J 21, 1987 - Minutes Page 8 (Hills of Bunker Lake Final PI at, Phase I , Continued) Discussion then returned to the Letter of Credit the developers wish to provide the City rather than a cash escrow required in the City's Development Financing Policy. There was some concern on the part of the Counc i I of changing the policy and being certain a Letter of Credit affords the City the same protection as a cash escrow. Attorney Hawkins advised the deveJopers do have the right to cancel the Letter of Credit; but if they do, the City has the right to draw the fu I I amount of the funds if a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided within 30 days. Also, the bank will inform the City the Letter of Credit Is coming due 30 days prior to expiration. Mr. Schrantz was concerned about the administrative problems that could occur wIth a polley change to allow Letters of Credit from developers with varying expiration dates. After some discussion, it was agreed the bank should be requested to inform the City of the expiration dates by registered mail. Discussion was then on Page 7, Section 7 of the DeveJopment Agreement regarding the payment of charges in the event the sewers are not hooked up to the trunk J ine right away. According to the project schedules, the trunk I ine wi II be available 30 days after the internal lines of the plat are completed. Mr. Green guessed they would have 20 homes by October 1 , plus the county buiJding. He wondered how big the reservoir wi J I be at the end of the pipe. Mr. Schrantz didn't think there would be any kind of holding tank at the end of the pipe. Mayor Windschitl stated the county has some temporary facilities that could be utilitized. He felt the problem would be if more than 20 homes were occupied prior to the connection to the trunk J ine. He recalled the calculations were done for 40 homes, and it was determined it would take about three tankers a day to pump the system at about $100 per Joad. Counc i J then agreed the developers should pay the costs of the temporary pumping, but the City would be responsible to do the pumping. It was also suggested the developers escrow for the pumping prior to the issuance of the occupancy permit, with the amount computed on the expected usage per house per day. It was also agreed the Counc i I would review the situation again after 20 occupancy permits are Issued for the plat. Attorney Hawkins stated the development contract can include the J anguage that the City would have the right to cut off the number of occupancy permits in the event i t gets to the point where the pumping is no ionger feasible. Regular City Council Meeti ng April 21, 1987 - MInutes Page 9 (Hills of Bunker Lake Final Plat, Phase I, Continued) MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Lachlnski, that the Counc II direct Jim Schrantz to be the contact person for the City of Andover regarding the EAW for the Hills of Bunker Lake and instruct him to assist in the completion of the EAW for submission. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Orttel, that we change the Local Development Financing Policy to allow for a Letter of Credit as addl tional security in lieu of cash, with the specific requirements that the bank Issuing the Letter of Credit be required to. Inform the City 30 days In advance with registered letter to the City Administrator and registered letter to the City treasurer 30 days In advance of the term of expiration or cancellation of the Letter of Credl t ¡ and with the standard of the Letter of Credit to be attached to the policy. VOTE ON MOTION: YES-EI I lng, Lachinskl, Orttel; NO-Knight; PRESENT- Wlndschltl. Motion carried MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Lachlnski, a ResoJution approving the final plat of the HI1Js of Bunker Lake, Phase I, wi th the following conditions: 1) that the plat be revised to show a drainage easement over all of Outlot A plus drainage easements from Outlot A to the park; 2) that the land as shown as dedicated on the plat be accepted for parkland; in addition, $4,000 In addi tlonal park fees also be collected for Phase I ; 3) that the uncompleted site grading for Phase I have Its cost estimated and an escrow made for 150 percent of that amount; 4) that an escrow be made for $21,000 for Jot fill ing¡ 5) that a cash escrow deposit In the amount of $3,000 be made for engineering, street signs, and legaJ costs InvoJved with the plat; 6) due to the Inconsistency In completion dates for the Internal system and the trunk sewer system, that the Council authorize up to 20 occupancy permits for homes in the plat without the Internal system being connected to the trunk, and any occupancy permits over 20 would have to be reviewed by the Council; and the cost of any pumping necessary to maintain those homes until the trunk is connected to be borne by the developers, with the actual pumping to be contracted and completed by the City. (See Resolution R048-87) Motion carried unanimousJy. BOND SALE/ANDOVER LIMITED PARTNERS Attorney Hawkins reviewed the debt service schedule and proposed purchase agreement regarding the Tax Increment Financing Bond sale for the shopping center. Under the terms of the Development Agreement, the City agreed to sel I up to $1,125,000 of General Obligation Tax Increment Bonds for Improvements for the developer after they have expended 80 percent of the IRB monies received In 1982. Due to the Regular City Council Meeting Apri I 21, 1987 - Minutes Page 10 (Bond Sale/Andover Limited Partners, Continued) volitiJityof the market, Miller & Schroeder is unable to ma~ket the fuJ I amount of the bond. But they are wiJling to commit to purchasing $1,065,000 of the bond, and the debt se~vice schedule is set up on that basis. They will price the bonds tomorrow, Apri I 22, feeJing they may be able to reduce the amount of interest cost on the bond and therefore increase the amount of avallab]e proceeds. Attorney HawkIns explained the reduced amount of proceeds means there wIll be less money for the costs of the project. The deve]oper will only be ~eceiving $757,000 versus the $810,000 that were orIgInally contemplated. The CI ty wIll stIll get Its money for Issuance costs. street lights, etc. Also, because of the Interest rate increase, the proceeds are less. Mr. Hawkins stated the developers have agreed to the changes. ThIs is a negotiated sale, and he has revIewed the Interest rates and found them to be competitIve wIth recent sales. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by EllIng, that the Counc i I authorize the sale of not less than $1,065,000 and up to $1,125.000, General Obligation Taxable Tax Increment Bonds to Miller & Sch~oeder FInancIal, Inc. (See ResolutIon R049-87) Motion car~led unanlmousJy. Attorney Hawkins also revIewed the changes to the varIous documents pertainIng to the contract with the developers as a ~esult of of the lowered bond amount, date changes, and change In the name of the developers since Boisclalre Is no longer involved wIth the p~oject. MOTION by Lachinskl, Seconded by KnIght, authorizIng the Mayor and Clerk to sIgn the amendments to the Andover PartnershIp Agreement as specified by the Attorney: 1) First Amendment to the Development Agreement; 2) Tax Increment FinancIng Proceeds Agreement; 3) Collateral Assignment of the Development Contract; 4) Collateral AssIgnment of the Proceeds Agreement; and 5) Amendment to the orlginaJ Industrial Revenue Bond Loan Agreement. MotIon carrIed unanimous]y. COMMERCIAL PARK - PLAT REVIEW Counc i I revIewed the proposed p]at of the Indust~ial area which basically included the Sonterre property the CIty is In the process of acquiring. There was some concern about contructing a meridian along the maIn road, questionIng whether the asthetlcs offset the additIonal maintenance that would be required. It was also felt the lots to the no~th along Bunker Lake Bouleva~d are very valuable lots, askIng that they be studied further. Mr. Rodeberg was directed to get some solI borings on 1 t to determIne I f at least a portion of them can be fIlled In and be made usable. A suggestIon was to make them larger Jots wIth the one accessIng onto VerdIn.

(Mayor Windschitl stepped down to the audience. Acting Mayor Ken Orttel chaired this portion of the meeting.) RECEIVE FEASIBILITY/ORDER PUBLIC HEARING/SHADY KNOLL/IP87-7 Mr. Rodeberg reviewed some of the problems In assessing the Shady Knoll Petition. Mr. Schrantz stated to date the City still has a petition with a majority In favor, though Mr. Lizakowski has verbally mentioned a petition where the majority are opposed if his property Is included. After looking at the various petition presented by Mr. Llzakowskl, it was determined at this point there were 8 no, 9 yes votes for sewer and water, with the numbers varying for the di fferent types of street construction. It was noted the cost of the street is Increased because there is only sideyard benefit along Thursh Drive; plus those along South Coon Creek Drive, an MSA street, are not assessed. Mr. Lizakowski - stated his house faces and driveway exits onto South Coon Creek Drive, asking If he would be assessed for the improvement of Uplander. After some discussion on the assessment policy, Counc 11 determined Mr. Llzakowski's lot should not be assessed for the street Improvement because he faces South Coon Creek Drive. But because that lot can be subdivided. It was also determined It would receive two units for the sewer and water assessments. Counc 11 also asked that the units against the park be looked at again to determine whether three or four units would be more adequate for that amount of property. MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Knight, a Resolution receiving feasibility report and calling public hearing on improvements of watermaln, sanitary sewer, streets, Project No. 87-7 in the Shady Knoll Area. (See Resolution R51-87) Motion carried on a 4-Yes, I-Abstain (Wlndschitl) vote. -. Regular City Council Meeting Aprl I 21, 1987 - MInutes Page 12 RECEIVE FEASIBILITY/ORDER HEARING/KENSINGTON ESTATES PHASE I/IP87-8 Mr. Wlndschi t I explained in trying to build the piece of Thrush off South Coon Creek Drive, it Is costing him another $25,000 because of the loop in the watermain that Is benefitting everyone but is being charged entirely to him. He reviewed the design of the approved plat and then an alternative which would eliminate the need for a part of Thrush and would also eliminate the two lots that face County Road 18. He stated he would be willing to redraw that section of the plat if the Counc i 1 so chooses. Mr. Rodeberg agreed the change would save money for those in Shady Knol I because a portion of Thrush would not be constructed. After discussing the proposal, Counc I I generally agreed with the revised proposa I ; but asked for copies of the comments from the county regarding the lots proposed to have direct access off County Road 18. MOTION by Lachlnskl, Seconded by Knight, that we approve a revised sketch plan for the potential amendment to the Kensington Estates Preliminary Plat and direct the developer to submit to the Counc I 1 the revised preliminary plat for approval of the amendment, and request a copy of the Jetter from the county.
