Quintus Greene, Director of Development, advised that there is an issue with Quantum Park dealing with
the legal description. Staff is not comfortable with the description because it includes all of Quantum
Park. Staff is attempting to generate a legal description specifically for Gateway and High Ridge.
V-C.3. Proposed Resolution No. RO:I.- Re: Sausalito Place Agreement
Mr. Bressner explained that in this subdivision, the builder failed before completing the project and thero
are a number of lots remaining. The City has worked out an arrangement to take temporary title to a
parcel that contains a duplex. This parcel will be held as surety to complete the subdivision
improvements. The City, new developer and homeowners' association worked out a three-way

acted as the arbitrator among the builder, developer and homeowners' association. There is no net gain
for the City other than completion of the subdivision.

va ria nce (TAB££O ON.IANUARY2)
IVlr, Bressner advised that staff worked with the developer who agreed to amend the site plan to bring
the parking back up to 1.3 spaces per unit. Mr. Bressner spoke with the owners of a vacant parcel and
they indicated their interest in making it available as part of the overall package. If it could be purchased
at a reasonable price, the City would buy it for use as open space/recreational area. Tt could also be
used for overflow parking in the event they have parking problems.
Commissioner Fisher remarked about the illegal activities that are currently going on in the parking lot.
He questioned whether using this lot for other purposes would move the illegal business to another
location. Mr. Bressner explained that the problem would have to be handled through zoning and police.
Mr. Bressner advised that the acquisition of this property is not necessary for this project to move
forward. He suggested that the Commission consider adopting a Resolution to approve the parking
variation to bring it up to 1.3 parking spaces per unit. This would allow staff to complete the site plan
review and the applicant would then be able to submit a grant application. Mr. Hawkins will work on
community meetings to provide outreach. The developer is not adding units. This is a reconstruction of
the existing property to upgrade it.

Commissioner Black reminded the Commissioners of previous discussion regarding a one-year trial
period for the speaker's card system. He would like to add a discussion to the agenda regarding
eliminating the need for a speaker's card for legal items such as Public Hearings and Ordinances on
Second Reading.
Vice Mayor Weiland inquired about Robert Katz' plans. Mr. Green advised that he is still planning on
moving forward. There were outstanding issues with parking, but that situation has been resolved.
Mr. Sugerman added that Mr. Katz is in for permits. There needs to be discussion about fees in lieu
of parking.
· Commissioner Black would like the Commission to develop a methodology for prioritizing how the City
will address stormwater.
Mr. Bressner suggested adding a Future Agenda Item related to Stormwater Management to develop a
priority system for funding improvements addressing the appropriateness of the swales versus
stormwater catchment systems. This item will be addressed at the February 6th City Commission
meeting. Mr. Bressner felt that it would be necessary to define the severity of flooding and provide
direction to staff as to what constitutes a high level of concern or action by the City. Some communities
have adopted a policy statement based on priorities. Staff will put together a draft policy for the
February 6th meeting.
Mr. Hawkins pointed out that the County is getting ready to do a study to redo flood areas in the County.
He inquired how this would affect the City. Mr. Sugerman explained that FEMA is modifying the flood
plain maps and giving every jurisdiction the opportunity to object or comment on where they are setting
the new thresholds. A firm is helping us prepare our comments regarding the new flood levels. Our
comments are due January 21st,
Mr. Sugerman explained that we have a Pavement Management System that has points assigned to
particular streets based on a variety of conditions. Staff could probably come up with something similar

for stormwater if the Commission wants to establish priorities regarding where the stormwater dollars
would be spent.
MaYor Broening agreed that definitions and priorities should be established.
Commissioner Ferguson recalled that on .lanuary 17th, the City was supposed to extend the permits
for the residences in the marina. He inquired whether the $750,000 in incentives would expire at
that time.
Mr; Sugerman explained that the incentives are tied to different dates. _lanuary 17th is not one of those
dates. The first date that they will begin to lose incentive money is either .]une 15t or June 30th. The
permit they have will allow them to do the necessary construction to meet the threshold date to get the
incentive money.
There being no further business to come before the Commission, the meeting properly adjourned at 5:40
