Title
Consider Approval of First Amendment to the Development Agreement for Maple Brook Townhomes
Body
Action Requested:
The Northfield City Council approves First Amendment Development Agreement for Maple Brook Townhomes.
Summary Report:

This additional work on the trunk sewer is eligible for reimbursement from the City.
