Watts: Yeah. Madam Mayor and Council Members, this is the final change order for
the demolition contract that we have with Ideal Demotion. If you will recall, there was
some damage done by the -- his personnel when we were excavating. The damage
was done to the wall heads. This was the dollar amount that our hydrologist gave us as
the -- as the amount fixed towards their damages specifically. Originally, Ideal and
Petra were going to discuss this and maybe split it. David agreed -- well, it's David from
Ideal Demolition agreed to take this on by himself and eat that amount. So, we drew up
this negative deductive change order for 10,993.50. Ideal has agreed to this and signed
this and submitted their final invoice for their retention.
De Weerd: Thank you, Keith. Any questions from Council? Do I have a motion?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we approve the deductive change order number six to Ideal
Demolition's -- for demolition of Meridian Creamery for the amount of $10,993.50 from
their contract.
Rountree: Second.
De Weerd: I have a motion and a second to approve Item T. Mr. Berg.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Borton, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Watts: Thank you.
Item 8: Request for Reconsideration for Denial of Rezone for 6th and
Broadway Property by Linda Loehr:
De Weerd: Thank you. Item 8 is a request for reconsideration. Mr. Nary, do you have
any comment on this?
Nary: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, you are all pretty well ears that art of
these reconsiderations now. You do have a letter in front of you. It app p
the -- part of the reason that no applicant was present at the time this originally was
taken up by the Council and denied was that the applicant was ill and didn't explain -- it
doesn't explain in the letter why no one else couldn't have been here, but it does
indicate that that was the reason that at least the applicant wasn't present at the time.
That was some consideration that the Council had.. If you wish to reconsider that, we
would need to set it for a new hearing and they would have to re-notice to do that. I

don't know if they have anything else to add. Obviously, we can't discuss those
specifics of the application itself, just the request for reconsideration.
Borton: Council, I would make a motion to grant the request for reconsideration,
understanding the extenuating circumstances and give the applicant an opportunity to
come forward at another hearing date to present it.
Bird.: Second.
Borton: It's been moved and seconded to approve the request for reconsideration. Any
discussion?
Rountree: Discussion, Mr. President.
Borton: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Just -- the absence of the applicant was -- was one of the minor reasons. i
think probably the biggest issue with the application was the design and the design
detail and the lack of appropriate design considerations for the facility for the building
that was being addressed.. So, just ar issues and certa my th se need totbe addressed
on the motion that -- there were othe
if it's going to be reheard.
Borton: Councilman Rountree, I agree. I know planning had comments in that regard
and the minutes from our discussion would be extremely valuable to the applicant to
review prior to bringing this back. Any additional discussion? All those in favor say aye.
Request approved.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item 9: Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law for Denial: RZ 07-015

Zaremba: Mr. President, I move that we vacate Item 9 until we have had the
reconsideration.

Borton: It's been moved and seconded to vacate Item No. 9. All those in favor say aye.
Thank you.

approval for 14 single-family building lots and 2 common lots on 5.08
acres in an R-4 zone for Quarterhorse Subdivision by M2 Land, LLC -
710 North Black Cat Road:
Borton: Item No. 10, FP 07-034, request for final plat approval.
Bird: Mr. President?
Borton: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move we approve FP 07-034 -- oh.
Borton: Go ahead., Bill.
Bird: Oh, we got a letter here. I'm sorry. We are getting ahead of ourselves.
Rountree: That's all right. We are in a hurry.
Borton: Bill, the floor is yours.
Parsons: It's a late evening.. Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is a request
for final plat approval of 14 single family building lots and two common lots on five acres
in an R-4 zone. Staff has received a letter from the applicant agreeing to the conditions
of approval. I also wanted to point out that site specific condition number four needs to
be stricken from the staff report due to it not being relevant to that project. That
concludes what I have. If you have any questions I will be happy to answer them.
Borton: Thank you, Bill. Council, any questions?
Rountree: No questions.
Bird: Mr. President?
Borton: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we approve FP 07-034 and to strike site specific condition number
four from the record. That's it.
Rountree: Second.
