City Council Meeting Minutes February 7, 2017 Page 14 of 15 commercial He stated he is disappointed that the current proposal has reduced that commercial square footage. Councilmember Stolzmann stated she would like to add language to the plan to document the commitments made by Mr Markel. She too is disappointed in the reduction in commercial square footage. She stated it is really not a mixed use development as the two uses can be easily separated and are not combined within buildings vertically. Mayor Muckle stated he doesn't disagree with earlier comments; however, he is satisfied with the plan as presented. He is happy to see the project coming to completion and he appreciates the difficulties of this site. He supports it and he would like to see the commitments on the phasing codified somehow. Councilmembers Leh and Loo agreed with the Mayor. Councilmember Maloney stated he would like to see three things codified. 1) the commitment to building the commercial as proposed; 2) the commitment to the relocation of the business and 3) commitment to the phasing as proposed If those can be committed to he can support the proposal Attorney Light stated codifying these items may be difficult and language will need to be crafted. Mayor Muckle asked if the Council would be willing to vote on these tonight and authorize the mayor and Mayor Pro Tem to finalize the language Mayor Pro Tem Lipton suggested continuing it so final language can be crafted and agreed upon. Mayor Pro Tem Lipton moved to continue the item to February 21 so conditions of approval can be added to the ordinance and the phasing language added in the resolution. Seconded by Councilmember Loo.
