REQUIRE A 150-FOOT BUFFER FROM THE CENTER LINE OF THE TRAIL AND ALLOW THE FINAL PLAT TO COME BACK WITH SOME MINOR MODIFICATIONS AND THAT THE 150- FOOT BUFFER INCLUDES NO GRADING AND NO REMOVAL OF TREES WITHIN THAT 150-FEET AND THE 150-FOOT BUFFER CAN END WITHIN THE YARDS OF THE RESIDENTIAL LOTS LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE GREAT NORTHERN TRAIL, BUT THE TREES WITHIN THEM MUST BE PROTECTED FROM GRADING AND REMOVAL. MOTION FAILED 2-3. Councilmembers Dietz, Kuester, and Tveite opposed. Councilmember Dietz questioned if the item could be put back on the agenda for the June 21 meeting so information can be put together and the Council will have time to think about the item. Mr. Beck suggested that a motion be made to table the item until the June 21 meeting. MOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER DIETZ AND SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER KUESTER TO TABLE THE MAY 17, 2004 MOTION APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF WOODLAND HILLS UNTIL THE JUNE 21, 2004 MEETING. MOTION CARRIED 5-0. Scott Breuer, S&A Family Investments, stated that he first came to the city a year ago to be proactive and begTM discussions and he has done everything staff and city have asked him to do and he doesn't understand what continuing this item will do. Mr. Breuer stated that his belief was that the buffer was 150-feet from the center trail line based on the drawing he was provided by staff. Mr. Breuer asked that the Council reconsider and make a motion to require the buffer 150-feet from the property line so that the development can proceed. The Council took a five minute break at 9:05 p.m. Boys and Girls Club Presentation Don Heinzman, Lana Huberty, and Duane Howard of the Boys and Girls Club were in attendance and made a presentation to the Council regarding the current status of the Boys and Girls Club and to request a city partnership in funding two positions within the Club as described in the information from the Boys and Girls Club included in the staff report. Council and staff discussion took place on the Boys and Girls Club request, including the authority the city has to fund these positions. MOVED BY MAYOR KLINZING AND SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER TVEITE TO FUND THE TWO POSITIONS AS REQUESTED WITHIN THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS PROGRAMMING THAT IS BEING FUNDED AND THAT THESE POSITIONS WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND WITH CITY RECREATION. Motion failed due to lack of Council vote.
