Council Deliberation:
Councilor Woodard expressed concern for the amount of fill dirt that will be used to cover the flood plain.
He asked where the fill dirt was coming from.Mr.Pagenstecher said he did not know that as that information
is not an application requirement. Councilor Woodard requested notification of the type of fill and where it is
coming from be made a requirement.
Councilor Henderson stated he shared Councilor Woodard's sentiment with how much fill dirt is proposed to
be used for the wetlands.Mr.Pagenstecher said essentially the whole site is being filled in attempt to level it
to the Oak Street level.
Council President Snider said it is fair to say the council is struggling with the wetland criteria decisions and
what is going into that wetland space is germane to the decision.

Mayor Cook said as it stands there may be some councilors that do not support the current application.He
asked if there were provisions that could be added to the conditions making the application amenable to
getting approved.
Councilor Woodard said he preferred sensitive wetlands not be reduced. It would be prudent to make sure
the development fits the space and does not have a huge impact on the sensitive wetlands. It is preferred to
see a development with higher buildings in order to stay out of the wetlands.
Council President Snider commented he did not desire to move forward with the ordinance if the conditions
are not different.
Councilor Henderson shared concern if mitigating the wetlands was realistic and there being a compromise
on the walkability of the community.
Mayor Cook said he was troubled with the use of fill of any kind on the wetlands and foresees it causing
problems elsewhere.There are other alternatives and maybe they are not favored,but it may have to go that
way.
Council President Snider asked if the ordinance does not get approved what the disposition of the resolution
would be. City Attorney Ramis answered if council does not pass the ordinance then the plan would not be
the same so they could not act on any of the others.Mr.Ramis suggested making a tentative move directing
staff to come back with findings that reflect the basis of the council's decision to deny the ordinance.
Councilor Snider motioned to direct staff to draft findings for the ordinance reflecting the basis of denying
the application and postpone this matter to April 14,2015.Seconded by Councilor Woodard.Motion passed
by unanimous vote of the council.
