Worksession 5.1 Propose Policy Extending Approved But Not Acted Upon Preliminary Plats and Conditional Use Permits Mr. Barnhart presented the staff report. Mayor Klinzing questioned if the applicants would be notified up front that the intent of the extension is for the applicant to be able to complete the work that was promised during the preliminary plat, approval. Ms. Johnson stated that the intent is that the city would be the only party allowed to initiate changes from the original plat. Mr. Barnhart explained that that any changes either those proposed by the applicant or encouraged by the City would include a formal-review by the City Council. For example, if the applicant requested an extension and the City's requirements changed, the city would have the right to notify the applicant that their project no longer meets the City's requirements and the project would need to be modified, and the City could elect to grant the extension or not, based on the applicant's willingness to work. Councilmember Motin questioned why the city only allows one year for preliminary plats. Mr. Barnhart indicated that one year seems to be reasonable but that could be increased if the Council desires. Councilmember Motin suggested a minimum two years before a preliminary plat expires. He felt comfortable with the timeframe suggested by staff for the conditional use permits and the variances. Mr. Barnhart indicated that staff will draft an ordinance amendment allowing two years for preliminary plat expiration with the other deadlines remaining the same. The Council concurred. 5.2. Ice Arena Financing Ms. Johnson presented the staff report. Councilmember Farber indicated that the cost estimates seem to increase every time the arena expansion is discussed. He questioned if the locker rooms are included in this estimate. Mr. Maertz explained that the locker rooms have been included at the request of the school district. He noted that the locker room addition would not move forward without a financial • commitment from the school district.
