35 <br /> <br /> Mr. Butler believed that it was appropriate to remember that <br />when the shopping center was first proposed, negotiated and <br />approved the City was much further back in the view of the <br />development of the City than at this time. Council visualized <br />certain things and did not visualize other things. Council also <br />anticipated the need for a lot of things but obviously did not <br />anticipate everything. From the City's point of view the need of <br />the Taubman Company to expand the shopping center presented an <br />opportunity for the City to realize some additional benefits that <br />had not been previously covered. Mr. Butler felt that staff did a <br />good job of providing some of the needs that were not provided to <br />Council before and in meeting the request of the shopping center. <br />There was a realization that not as much sewer capacity was needed <br />for the shopping center as originally believed. Mr. Butler <br />indicated that the development and sewer agreements represent a <br />good deal for both the City and the business community and he was <br />very much in favor of them. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver said that he did not have a problem with the sewer <br />agreement, but did have some problems with the development <br />agreement. He was not concerned with the length of time or a few <br />of the conditions in the development agreement. The conditions he <br />was concerned about were those that limit the City's exaction of <br />additional fees in the future and the ability to cap the cost of <br />the road improvements. He did not have a problem with saying that <br />there is a responsibility for certain intersections and the <br />improvements of those intersections, but he did not know what the <br />potential cost or the ultimate improvement necessary would be and <br />did not believe it was prudent for the city to cap the fees. <br /> <br /> Mayor Mercer stated that when he first came on the Council, <br />one of the first big decisions made was the shopping center. He <br />said that it was a true pleasure working with Mr. Eynck and Mr. <br />Naggar over the years. He believed that they had always been <br />straight forward with the City and negotiated in the most honest <br />manner. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mr. Butler, and seconded by Ms. Scribner, that <br />Resolution No. 92-183 be adopted, based on a review of an initial <br />environmental study done for this project and on a finding that no <br />significant environmental impact would occur as outlined in the <br />City's guidelines and on further finding that a negative <br />declaration is appropriate in connection with Stoneridge Regional <br />Shopping Center Development Agreement. <br /> <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers Butler, Mohr, Scribner, Tarver and Mayor <br /> Mercer <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br />9/15/92 9 <br /> <br /> <br />
