MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 27, 1985 PAGE 4 Mayor Eggert moved, seconded by Councilmember Ciernia, that the City Engineer be authorized to negotiate with Ramsey County, the University of Minnesota, and City of Lauderdale, for storm sewer extension. Motion carried unanimously. 3~ EINGINEER TO MEET WITH U OF MN, COUNTY & LAUDERDALE RE STORM SEWER Clerk Administrator Barnes informed that the cost of installation of a mail drop in the lobby will be $410.00 excluding the box. Council MAIL DROP discussed whether or not such a mail drop is necessary and then directed FOR CITY HALL the Clerk Administrator to obtain the price of a box. DISCUSSED Clerk Administrator Barnes explained that the small tractor is in need of repair at a cost of $575 to $725 and recommended the repairs be done rather than purchasing a new larger tractor as requested by the Public Works Foreman. The matter was deferred and the Clerk Administrator was directed to obtain the price of replacement of a like tractor and the life expectancy of the equipment. Mayor Eggert requested that Council consider whether or not City Council meetings should be televised for Cable TV. The consensus of opinion was that the filming should be done if a qualified volunteer can be found to do the filming. Mayor Eggert will check into the matter. Councilmember Chenoweth presented his report dated March 28, 1985 relating to the possible extension of the storm sewer to Lindig and Tatum Streets. He felt that since there is a developer interested in the lot at the end of the Lindig col-de-sac, and there have been other requests to construction homes in the "no build" area, it might be an appropriate time to provide storm drainage to the lots in the area. He then pointed out the advantages and disadvantages. Richard Winkel, 1825 Fairview, stated he had discussed the proposed extension with some neighbors and they were opposed to it as they like the large lavers and gardens and would not want to subdivide to allow construction of homes. Mayor Eggert explained that at this time the financing vehicle is in place (tax increment financing) which would not be available at a later date. Engineer Schunicht stated that the plans were done previously and costs determined and he will check and see how the original payment plan was structured. Mayor Eggert felt it important (and Council concurred) that the owners of the affected lots be invited to an informal meeting to discuss the matter, and will draft such a letter to that effect. The persons who would like to develop Ray Brown's lots north of the Lindig cul-de-sac asked if a decision could be speeded up as they have a time limit. It was explained that those homes could be constructed without the storm sewer so long as they follow the design prescribed by the City Engineer. .After a discussion, Mayor Eggert moved, seconded by Councilmember Baldwin, that the request to subdivide the Brown lot be referred to the Planning Commission, that a public hearing on the subdivision be scheduled for April 24, 1985 at 7:45 P.M., and that the Clerk Administrator be authorized to publish the same. Motion carried unanimously. TRACTOR REPAIR DEFERRED COUNCIL MEETINGS MAY BE FILMED FOR CABLE TV PUBLIC HEARING ON SUBDIVISION OF RAY BROWN LOT TO BE HELD 4/24/85
