~~-V MINUTES SP's CIAL CITY COUPJCIL r~ETII~?G NO`JEMBER !, 1982 PAGE ~ After a lengthy discussion on an amendment to Ordinance 64, the number of parking spaces necessary for row construction of multiple dwelling units with no on-street parking, and when the Planning Commission will have the remainder of the zoning ordinance rewritten (approximately 1 year), Council- member Eggert moved, seconded by Councilmember Ciernia, that the Council place a hold on the approval of any further variances of this nature until the Council can amend the existing ordinance, and to direct the City Attorney to draft an amendment to the existing ordinance stating that for multiple dwelling units two parking spaces be required in those areas where there is on-street parking and two and one-half parking spaces be required if there is no on-street parking, and that one half of those parking spaces be enclosed. Council discussed the plans submitted by Grace Lai, for a proposed con- struction of a six unit apartment building on Lot 14, Blocklof Labalestra Park. Council felt there was not adequate parking available, there would be problems with snow remnval and inadequate access for emergency vehicles. Councilmember Ciernia stated he felt, that in all fairness to the Planning Commission, since the Ordinances are their guidelines, and Council feels something is inadequate, it is Council's responsibility to make an adjustment. Upon a vote being taken, the motion carried unanimously« Councilmember Chestovich inquired as to whether or not any action had been taken in regard to the Tatum drainage ditch situation. Engineer Lemberg explained that a study had been done sometime ago and that the problem with the ditch is a matter of maintenance to alleviate standingv~e.ter and silting. He stated it would be possible to install a temporary bitumirous flume if the four property owners adjacent are in agreement and would grant ar.e asement to install and maintain the flume. He stated that the problem is a temporary one as the water is generated on the Hawkins~Hermes property which would be handled by storm sewer when the property is developed. Council directed the Clerk Administrator to contact the four property owners involved and see if they are interested in meeting with the Engineer to discuss the matter. Councilmember Chestovich asked whether or not the Clerk Administrator had contacted rubbish haulers for fee information as requested at the July 6, 1982 rrieeting. Clerk Administrator Barnes replied that some, but not all, haulers contacted had replied and that, perhaps, those who did not reply may be uneasy about the possibility of exclusive franchise operations. Following a discussion, the Clerk Administrator was directed to contact the ~,4innesota Waste Hauler's Association and request that a speaker from that group attend a future Council Meeting. Councilmember Chestovich asked what balance is still due on the construction of the row Community Building and if some payment is being withheld pending satisfactory completion. Engineer Lemberg explained that there is still a large payment due, plus 5~ being held back on the entire project, and that Council may, at their discretion, withhold the liquidated damages 0100.00 per day)~?ize to the fact that the building was not completed by September 1, the date stipulated in the contract.
