ADOPTED MINUTES
1. CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order at 6:03 p.m.
Present: Mayor Jillian Hendrickson and Council members Olson, Sorensen, and Vetsch
Absent: Council member Wagner
Others Present: City Administrator/Engineer-PWD Adam Nafstad, Finance Director Tina
Lannes, City Clerk Kimberly Olson, City Planner Alan Brixius, and Ralph Munsterteiger
2. VISION GOALS AND PRIORITIES
Brixius stated the goal of the workshop is to focus on the next steps for ongoing projects and
provide suggestions for newly identified issue areas.
Brixius stated staff recently received a proposal for the Leuer Munsterteiger site for two multi-
family buildings and 23 single-family residences; however, the current zoning does not allow for
that use. Vetsch stated he would like to see senior housing or commercial use in that location
rather than single-family. Sorensen stated he was hesitant for multi -family housing for that site
and would also like to see senior housing.
Munsterteiger stated that he doesn't see the land being developed unless the zoning is changed.
He stated that it was originally zoned residential. Brixius stated the property is now zoned B-2
and has been for over ten years.
Hendrickson inquired how many apartment units would be in the two multi -family buildings.
Munsterteiger replied it would be approximately 100 units. Vetsch stated there is a market for
senior housing and there are many seniors on waiting lists for senior units.
Munsterteiger inquired what Council felt should be developed on the lot and felt his hands are
tied with the current zoning. Brixius stated he will meet with Munsterteiger with options for the
property.
Brixius reviewed the 2012 Visioning Goals. He reviewed the projects on the ten-year list along
with some staff recommendations:
