Johnson stated that staff is requesting to pull all the items related to the Lunski addition
(C, D, E, and F).
Moved by Anderson, seconded by Cousineau, to approve the consent agenda as
amended. Motion passed unanimously.
VI. COMMENTS (7:05 p.m.)
A. Comments from Citizens on Items not on the Agenda
There were none.
B. Park Commission
No update.
C. Planning Commission
Finke reported that the Planning Commission met earlier this week to hold two public
hearings. He stated that the Commission considered a request from the Crosbys to
amend a Conditional Use Permit. He stated that the applicants purchased the property
directly to the east and are combining that with their property. He reported that the
Commission also considered an ordinance amendment regarding small wireless
facilities, which the Council will consider on December 5th. He noted that this action is a
result of changes in State law which allows telecommunication companies to utilize the
right-of-way and poles within the right-of-way to hang small wireless facilities. He stated
that the Commission also considered the draft Comprehensive Plan, discussing some of
the big picture items. He noted that the Commission did not recommend any changes.
He noted that the Commission recommended approval of all three items that they
considered.
V. CONSENT AGENDA (Continued) (7:07 p.m.)

District by Title and Summary
Johnson stated that staff has been working with the developer on an updated
Development Agreement.
Finke stated that this item would have normally been placed on the regular agenda but
was inadvertently placed on the consent, which is why staff requested to pull the item.
He stated that the Council granted Preliminary Plat approval in September, along with
Site Plan approval for both uses on the property. He stated that the Final Plat is before
the Council tonight, noting that the purpose of the Council's consideration is to review for
consistency with the preliminary approval and ensure that the conditions of approval
have been met. He stated that the plat is largely the same as what had been approved
in the preliminary review. He noted that most of the conditions carry forward as they
relate to operations as the development moves forward and have been formalized in the

A. 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update (7:19 p.m.)
Johnson reported that staff received an email from the Metropolitan Council today
regarding the draft Comprehensive Plan staging.
Finke reviewed the response from the Metropolitan Council staff regarding the staging of
the high -density development property in the southwest corner of the City. He stated
that the Met Council staff suggests that the item would not necessarily be called out as
an inconsistency but would be called out for question if it stays in the plan as currently
drafted. He stated that could be encouraging if the City wanted to continue with the
staging that has been discussed thus far throughout the process. He noted that the plan
could move forward as proposed and if questions arise, the City could agree to change
the staging of the high -density property at that time. He stated that he would suggest
leaving the staging as proposed for the time being.
Anderson asked for clarification.
Finke stated that he would suggest leaving the staging as has been proposed
throughout the process and now set forth in the draft plan, leaving the staging period for
that property to begin in 2018.
Martin stated that throughout the planning process, the Council and Steering Committee
have wanted to leave the staging for the high -density residential property to begin in
2018. She stated that it sounds like the Met Council staff is easing up a bit on its
position. She stated that City staff is suggesting leaving the staging at 2018, and if there
is resistance by the Met Council to that aspect of the draft plan that staging could be
changed to 2020 at that time.
Finke stated that the City will submit the draft Comprehensive Plan and there will most
likely be comments and adjustments made based on the comments of the Metropolitan
Council staff. He stated that preliminary comments should be received within the next
three weeks and adjustments can be made at that time. He noted that the item would
then move forward to a Met Council Committee meeting at which point City staff will be
able to further clarify the position of the City related to the staging. He noted that
following that process the City's draft plan would move on to the Metropolitan Council.
City Attorney Anderson stated that while the Council could give its consent, he would not
recommend adopting two separate resolutions.
Finke stated that the Council could adopt the resolution as presented and then make a
separate motion giving direction to staff to adjust the staging of the high density
residential property based on the reaction from the Met Council.
City Attorney Anderson agreed that would make the most sense to adopt the resolution
as presented and then make a separate motion with the direction.
Mitchell stated that this is something that is important to the City and therefore he wants
to try to get the staging approved for 2018.
Martin stated that she likes the idea of staff adding some additional language in the draft
plan that supports the position of the City in the 2018 staging.
