recommendations, and proposed plat.
Mayor Crawford asked why Planning Commissioner Kennedy did not vote on the item at
the April 5, 2016 meeting. Mr. Andrew stated Commissioner Kennedy felt the
improvement on Schilling Road was more important than the improvement of Ohio Street.
Commissioner Blanchard asked if this agenda item would approve the plat. Mr. Andrew
stated the plat was approved by the Planning Commission and the acceptance of the
offered dedications must be approved by the Governing Body.
Jason Gage, City Manager, asked for clarification on the installation of sidewalks within the
development and how wide the sidewalks would be on Ohio Street. Mr. Andrew stated the
construction of the public sidewalks would be deferred until building permits would be
filed for the development of the homes and the sidewalks on Ohio Street would be 5 feet
wide.

Street. Mr. Andrew stated the improvements on other sections of Ohio Street were paid for
by the citizens at -large.

pedestrian easements would have. Mr. Andrew stated the Mayor would sign the plat for
any acceptance of the offered easements.
Moved by Commissioner Ryan, seconded by Commissioner Hardy, to authorize the Mayor to sign
the plat and accept the offered utility, drainage and pedestrian easement dedications and street
right-of-way dedications and to sign the plat as a property owner of the replat area. Aye: (3). Nay:

what the land price was, how it was purchased, what alternative financing was considered
for the development, and when the closing on the land would occur.
Commissioner Blanchard also asked which type of financial security had been filed in the
past and how long a letter of credit would be on file. Michael Schrage, Deputy City
Manager, stated that developers have elected to file a letter of credit in the past and the
letter of credit would be held on file for five (5) years. Mr. Stack stated the letter of credit
could be released earlier if at least 35% of the developable lots were issued certificates of
occupancy.
Jason Gage, City Manager, stated market analysis reports typically were not performed.
Stan Byquist, 2601 South Ohio, stated he was not prepared to answer the questions and if it
was deemed necessary to answer the questions, he would do so off the cuff. Commissioner
Blanchard stated if Mr. Byquist did not decide to answer the questions, he would consider
that when voting on the item. Mr. Byquist stated he preferred to not answer the questions.
Mr. Byquist continued to provide information on the types of housing within the
development and the pricing of the homes within the development.

building permit report. Mr. Byquist stated he had not fully reviewed the permit report but
continued to provide his thoughts on housing development.

Urban Service Area map were annexed to date. Dean Andrew, Director of Planning, stated
none except for the Stone Lake Addition.
Moved by Commissioner Ryan to authorize staff to prepare a special assessment engineering
feasibility report for Phase I of the Ryan Addition. Motion died due to lack of second.
Commissioner Ryan asked if the item could be postponed or reconsidered in the future. Greg
Bengtson, City Attorney, stated the item was placed on the agenda and failed for a lack of a
motion.
Commissioner Ryan asked if a motion could be made to place the item on an agenda when
Commissioner Davis could be in attendance. Mr. Bengtson stated yes.

item on a future agenda for two (2) weeks out. Aye: (2). Nay: (2) Blanchard and Hardy. Motion

and he continued to provide his thoughts on the current budget and spending on street
improvements and repairs.

of interest bylaws and asked when staff could get a resolution done. Jason Gage, City
Manager, stated he was not sure it would help with the housing discussions but staff
would be able to focus in on the matter to bring it before the Commission soon.
A conversation continued to ensue between the Commission and Mr. Gage regarding the
request.
