Approve Amendment to Development Contract for Countryside
Project No. 04-10 (Simple Majority Vote)
Following the City's approval of the property previously platted as Countryside,
the developer has requested a modification to the development contract.
Specifically, the change involves the name of the plat. The name of the plat is
being changed fi'om Countryside to Cimmaron. Carver County is requiring the
name change due to the existence of another plat named Countryside. Attached is
a revised development contract incorporating this change. The conditions of
approval remain as previously approved on June 14, 2004.
It is therefore recommended that thc City Council approve the revised
development contract dated July 26, 2004.
