City Council Meeting Minutes September 21, 2021 Page 6 of 11 Councilmember Fahey stated this proposal surpasses our requirements in many ways. She supports the plan and conditions as proposed tonight. She agreed it is not perfect but is very good and she supports it. Mayor Stolzmann stated she does not feel this proposal is above what is required by the code. She noted the request to build above 2.5M square feet surpasses what is currently allowed on the site, and she feels the open space dedication may meet the minimum dedication but the code allows the Council to require more to protect view sheds and wildlife corridors and she feels the 93 acres is not a sufficient dedication. She feels the proposed density on the site is not in line with the rural character. Mayor Stolzmann stated she would support Councilmember Leh's request to reduce the density on the site. She added she feels the traffic impacts will be much greater than shown in the traffic study and she feels the intersection of Campus Drive and 96t" street is going to back up significantly at peak hours. She stated she has some reservations that the industrial design guidelines will be used for buildings adjacent the street. VOTE on the substitute motion. Motion failed 5-2 with Councilmember Leh and Mayor Stolzmann voting yes. Councilmember Leh offered a friendly amendment to change Condition #2 allow a maximum of 2,950,101 square feet of development on the site. Councilmember Lipton did not accept the friendly amendment.
