proceeding to the City Council.
2. The Final Plat and Development Contract must be approved by the City Council.

completed by the applicant. Moore responded some of the engineering issues are not
totally complete. There were a number of revisions and won't be sent on to the City
Council until they are complete. Moore did not see any problems. She also noted this is
only for the PUD.
Comments from the Public:
Kermit Mahlum from Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church said he would be available
for questions. There were no other issues. Danette Moore did another super job
presenting the report. She answetred all the questions.
Ringstad questioned the time line for the projects. Mahlum responded phase one will
start as soon as they are able. The excavating has already started on the new McKenna
Road. They anticipate moving into the second phase of senior housing immediately
following the first. Not certain for time based on licensing on the skilled nursing center.
The State of Minnesota issues the licenses. Estimating a three to four year buildout.
Billington asked for safety information on the site egress and ingress with County Road
42 and McKenna Road. Mahlum explained that process is in the makings with Scott
County and the City. Mahlum gave a brief overview ofthe proposed intersections.
Billington questioned the non-profit organization - Mahlum explained the nonprofit
entities and partnerships. The Shepherd's Path Board of Directors will be the overseers
of the campus and manage the common areas as well.
Lemke questioned who the customers would be for the retail in the Town Center.
Mahlum responded it would a sort of convenience store for the residents to buy daily
necessities instead of going to a grocery store or maybe the people stopping in after
church services.
