FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -3- May 14, 2003 Consideration of the SE Corner Planned Unit Development (PUD) (continued) Council member Lamb asked about soil conditions at the site. Administrator Worthington said that soil borings will be done. The purpose of the pond will be hold water and then drain, via pipe, to Curtiss Field. It will be a dry pond most of the time, more of a landscaping pond. In response to a question from Council member Lindstrom about republication of the zoning map, Administrator Worthington said that republication is expensive and there may be some additional changes on the zoning map within the next year that will require that it be redrawn. The City can now print its own zoning maps in-house and the information is also available electronically. Council member Lindstrom asked what the B3 District is. Administrator Worthington said it is mixed use but does not include housing. Classification of the SE Corner as a Planned Unit Development (PUD) will permit housing. Lindstrom moved approval of the SE Corner as a Planned Unit Development (PUD) and adoption of Ordinance #03-04 amending Chapter 9 of the City Code to permit the rezoning of the SE Corner to a Planned Unit Development (PUD). The motion was unanimously approved. Resolution of Support for Sherman and Associates to Seek Funding from the State of Minnesota Tax Base Revitalization Account Administrator Worthington explained that Sherman and Associates is applying to Ramsey County for funds to offset costs related to asbestos abatement and soil contamination on the SE Corner. This funding is available from the Department of Trade and Economic Development, and the project is eligible to make application because the City is a participant in the Livable Communities Act Housing Incentives Program through the Metropolitan Council. There is potential petroleum soil contamination in the area around Dino's. In response to a question from Council member Lindstrom, Administrator Worthington said the City is the pass through, much like it is with the Metropolitan Council grants. RESOLUTION 2003-07 Kuettel moved adoption of Resolution 2003-07 authorizing Sherman and Associates, on behalf of the City of Falcon Heights, to apply to the Metropolitan Council for funds from • the tax base revitalization account, and to such agreements as are necessary to implement the project on behalf of the applicant. The motion was unanimously approved. 3
