MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, October 23, 2006 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ (5. #05-3080 INTERSPACE WEST, 2060 WAYZATA BOULEVARD WEST, Continued) Anders stated it is his understanding that the condition for stormwater would go along with the preliminary plat. Murphy stated approximately one year ago the Council granted final and preliminary plat, which gave the applicants 12 months to submit the required documents. Murphy stated the Council has been apprised by Staff regarding the conversations that have been had with the applicants over the past year, and in this particular case, it has been made very clear what the stakes are and that there should be no confusion on anyone’s part of what needed to be done. Murphy stated he personally feels a year to get these items settled was ample time and that the timeline has been made perfectly clear to the applicants. Murphy stated he is not in any position but to deny the final plat. Sansevere inquired whether the Council has any basis to retroactively extend the deadline. Brokl stated the Council could extend the deadline, noting that the applicants did submit the application to the City to extend the application. Brokl stated the Council does not need to approve the extension. Sansevere stated personally he would be willing to extend the deadline to the next Council meeting to give the applicants a little more time to submit the required permits. Sansevere moved to extend the deadline from October 10, 2006 to November 13, 2006. Brokl stated if the applicants submit the final documents, the Council would essentially be approving the final plat at this time. Motion died for lack of a second. McMillan inquired whether the applicants would need to submit a totally new application if the preliminary plat and final plat have expired. Brokl stated their final plat approval expired six months ago and their preliminary plat expired as of October 10th unless they met certain conditions. Brokl stated the applicants attempted to file the appropriate documents for final plat approval. Brokl stated extension of the deadline would allow the applicants to submit the required documents. Murphy stated the combination of the preliminary and final plat was a unique situation and a good faith effort on the part of the City. Murphy noted final plat approval expired six months ago. Fenning inquired whether it would be possible to pay the extension fees and application fees and in return the Council would grant them an extension to November 13th. Sansevere commented it is not a money issue. Mayor Peterson stated it appears from the failed motion that the majority of the Council is not in favor of an extension. Gina Carlson inquired whether the Council is in favor of the project, noting that they do intend to resubmit their application. ______________________________________________________________________________ PAGE 9 of 12 Item #02 - CC Agenda 11-13-06 Approval of Counil Minutes 10-23-06[Page 9 of 12]
