Motion carried 5 -O.
3)RESOLUTION:Consideration of Preliminary Plat for Lyon Acres Motion by Council
Member Gruber,seconded by Council Member Peard,to approve the resolution.Larry Lyon,
606 Boone Drive and owner of the property in question,addressed the Council.He stated
that,upon review of certain documentation,it was discovered that Boone Drive had never
been conveyed to the City.Mr.Lyon asked that the minutes show that he would provide the I
6
City with a quick claim deed for his portion of Boone Drive,shown as Lot A on the plat,
provided the City allow for ingress/egress from Boone Drive along the northern border of the
plat until such time as Boone Drive is widened.Council Member Gruber amended his motion
to approve the resolution,with Lot A dedicated to the City and ingress/egress from Lot A
allowed until the time at which Boone Drive is widened;Council Member Peard amended his
second.Roll Call on amended motion:Ayes:Gruber,Peard,Stanton,Bailey,Mertz.Nays:

5)RESOLUTION:Consideration of approving the request of Hubbell Realty Company to
have the dedicated parkland and conservation green space excluded from the calculations of
the University Avenue Connection Fee District Motion by Council Member Gruber,seconded
by Council Member Mertz,to approve the resolution.Dan Dutcher of Hubbell Realty
addressed the Council,stating that his company had not been aware until recently that the
parkland area of Glynn Village would be assessed the connection fee.Hubbell Realty agrees
to pay the connection fee for the open space portion of the plat,but asks the City to waive the
fee for the parkland portion.Joe Pietruszynski of Hubbell Realty next addressed the Council,
comparing the Glynn Village conservation development concept with some of Hubbell's other
more typical metro area developments.He stated that the connection fee for the parkland
portion of Glynn Village would equal $35,000,and that Hubbell should not be penalized for
implementing a conservation development.John Gibson explained that the connection fee
district was established in 1999,prior to the concept of conservation developments.He also
stated that the City should be consistent in its enforcement of connection fees,which are
based on gross acreage,not the type of development;as such,City staff believes that the fees
should not be waived for the parkland area of Glynn Village.Council Member Stanton said
she believed the fee was appropriate for this development at this time,but that perhaps in the
future the City could revisit its connection fee district policy to take conservation
developments into consideration.Council Member Bailey stated that the PD for Glynn
Village had allowed for greater density of housing,and asked Mr.Pietruszynski if he thought
it fair to pass the cost of the connection fees to residents instead of having Hubbell pay the
cost.Mr.Pietruszynski answered that he did think it was fair for residents to pay,as the
parkland was a public amenity for the community,not just those residing in Glynn Village.
He also argued that the development did not have greater density of housing.There was some
discussion as to a possible revision of the connection fee district policies;Mik Briedis replied
that the City could potentially develop a formula that would approximate 95%developed area
and 5%parkland,He stated that ultimately the City should try to recoup infrastructure costs
from the developer,not the resident.Mr.Dutcher asked the Council to reconsider the
ordinance,as it should be based on usage,not merely acreage.Roll Call:Ayes:None.Nays:
Gruber,Mertz,Bailey,Stanton,Peard.Motion defeated 0 -5.
6)RESOLUTION:Consideration of Final Plat for Glynn Village Plat 1 (Revised)John
Gibson asked that consideration of the resolution be postponed until certain outstanding issues
could be resolved between the City and Hubbell Realty.No action taken on this item.

7)RESOLUTION:Consideration of approving the search for a consultant to assist the
City in hiring a new city administrator Motion by Council Member Mertz,seconded by
Council Member Stanton,to approve the resolution.Mayor Oberman argued that the timeline
to choose the consultant should be shortened.John Gibson explained that,as directed by the
City Council that the deadline for submittals was to be January 27,2006,the timeline
allowed for interviews to take place the week of February 13,with a decision made by
Council by March 3.Council Members Bailey,Peard and Stanton all stated their approval of

should be expedited.Roll Call:Ayes:Stanton,Peard,Bailey,Gruber.Nays:Mertz.Motion

administrator;Mr.Gibson suggested the compensation be effective until July 1,2006,at
which time the matter could be revisited if needed.Council Member Stanton amended her
motion to approve the resolution with a termination date for additional compensation of July
