City Council Meeting Minutes 12/06/04interesting to Bear the members' comments now compared to when they denied the variance in 2001.
Haffennan said going through the planning board is the proper procedure and he doesn't see any
reason to change the procedure for this proposal.
Wilson said the planning board recommended denial of the variance for Financial Drive and
recommended denial of the waiver for interior sidewalks. She said the planning board didn't require
a redesign of the subdivision, they simply indicated to the developer that full City infrastructure
would be required. Wilson said if the City agrees to partner on the upgrade of Financial Drive, then
thatissue would be resolved. She added that in her opinion the developer has addressed the issues
that needed to be addressed and in order not to overly delay the project, staff is recommending a
public hearing be held before the Council to expedite the review time.
Hafferman said the comments by the planning board are very helpful and the Council should rely on
their recommendation, especially if a denial is involved. He said if all of the planning board's
concerns have been met, then the procedure should be a lot simpler. Hafferman said he doesn't think
the procedure should be changed for anyone and what difference would one month make when
"we're talking about this thing corning before the planning board in 2001".
The motion carried upon roll call vote with Atkinson, Gabriel, Herron, Kenyon, Larson,
Olson, and Mayor Kennedy voting in favor, and Hafferman voting against.
