Councilmember Ciernia abstained. Motion carried. Council agreed to add the appointment of a Larpenteur/Spelling Redevelopment Committee to the agenda. Mayor Eggert presented a request from Warren E. Elert, owner of the apart- ment building at 1510 W. Larpenteur, that Council reconsider payment of $78.00 for sewer clean out. Mr. Elert reviewed his problem with the sewer back-up and requested that the City reimburse him for $78.00, the amount charged by the sewer cleaning firm, as he felt the problem was in the City line. Mayor Eggert explained Council's stand on these items since it is difficult to assign responsibility for improper items placed in the sewer. Only if the City line has broken the or other damage which would cause back up, does the City consider payment of any charges. WARREN ELERT SEWER BACK-UP 1510 W. LARPENTEUR Lowell Lundy, 1853 Moore, was in attendance and requested that Council LOWELL LUNDY consider blacktopping a five foot strip in the walkway easement abutting 1853 moore his property, as he felt it would prevent the walkway from becoming unattractive after use. He indicated that Good Value is willing to install chain link fence along the walkway. Engineer Schunicht stated that the cost of the PARK WALK-WAY project would be between $500 and $1,000 and could be included in the 1984 sealcoating bid. Following a discussion regarding the possibility of vacating 2-1/2 feet of the easement to each of the two abutting neighbors, and who should pay for the blacktopping, Councilmember Ciernia moved, seconded by Mayor Eggert, that the City Attorney determine whether or not to vacate the walkway or some method of restricting the easement, and that the Clerk Administrator negotiate with Good Value and the residents in regard to the installation and payment for the blacktopping and fencing. Motion carried unanimously. MINUTES SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 12, 1984 PAGE 2 ~~ Mayor Eggert explained to those in .attendance that Milton Cohen is interested DEVELOPMENT in removing the existing retail structure on the southeast corner of Larp- COMMITTEE FOR enteur and Snelling, and replacing it with a new structure, and for that reason SE CORNER OF it is necessary that a redevelopment committee be established to draw up guide-LARPENTEUR/ lines for the area. He reviewed the method followed by the development SNELLING TO committee for the northeast corner and recommended that the new committee BE ESTABLISHEI read the report prepared by that group (Grittner Report). A sign-up sheet was then circulated so that interested persons could volunteer to serve on the new committee. Robert Collins, Attorney for Bullseye Golf, gave a brief history of the procedures leading up to this time and presented the proposed site plan for the Bullseye Building which provides for 23,000 square feet of retail space, 3,000 square feet of office space in the basement, 12,000 square feet of basement storage, and 115 parking places. He explained that if the liquor store is purchased, that area will be used for employee parking. only in order to reduce traffic in the residential neighborhood. He also stated that their appraiser valued the liquor store at $125,000. Mr. Collins presented two requests: (1) that Council approve the concept of the site plan as recommended by the Planning Commission, and (2) that Council authorize condemnation. He explained that with approval of the site plan the architect will go ahead with more specific drawings and that they are negotiating for purchase of the filling station but wanted condemnation begun in the event negotiations fail. Planning Commission Member David Black stated that the Planning Commission was in favor of the general concept but felt there should be further negotiations before it would be appropriate to deal with condemnation. Attorney Van de North felt it was premature to consider condemnation and that the development agreement should be in place prior to condemnation. Fiscal Consultant Chenoweth reminded Council that condemnation could be very expensive as relocation would be involved. Mr. Collins indicated that he did not have complete faith that negotiations would be successful and for that reason was requesting condemnation. Following a discussion regarding parking spaces, Mr. Pope, the architect for Bullseye Golf, explained the method by which he arrived at the number of parking spaces. Mayor Eggert reviewed the list of volunteers for the redevelopment committee, and explained that when there are two members from one family, only one vote will be allowed. Mayor Eggert then moved, seconded by Councilmember Chestovich, the appointment of the following persons to the Redevelopment Committee: Joan Hallen, 1511 W. Idaho, Trent Walden, 1497 W. Idaho, Mark Parks, 1531 W. Idaho, James H. Korf, 1713 N. Snelling, Douglas Lehnen, 1550 W. Larpenteur, Henry Kristal, 1664 University, Greg Stende, 1550 W. Larpenteur, David Black, 1887 Arona, Greg Weyandt, 1364 California, Karen Northrup, 1942 Summer, and Don Grittner, 1718 Arona. Upon a vote being taken, the following voted in favor thereof: Mayor Eggert, Council- members Ciernia, Baldwin and Chestovich, and the following voted against the same: Councilmember Hard, due to the fact that he felt the guidelines established for the committee had not been followed since there are more members of the business community than had been proposed. Motion carried. BULLSEYE GOLF SITE PLAN PRESENTED REDEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE APPOINTED MINUTES SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 12, 1984 PAGE 3 Fiscal Consultant Cehnoweth described proposed Development District No. 2 and explained that a large district may be established and several financing districts established within that development district. He recommended. establishment of a district encompassing all four corners of Larpenteux and Snelling to be sure all possible future projects will be included.

RESOLUTION 84-18 A RESOLUTION RECEIVING REPORT OF PLANNING COMMISSION ON PROPOSAL TO FORM A DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AND ADOPT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AND CALLING FOR CONSULTATION WITH OTHER AFFECTED JURISDICTIONS AND PUBLIC HEARING Mayor Eggert then moved that Council approve the preliminary site plan proposed by Mr. Hunt, Mr. Collins, and Mr. Pope, as embodied in the drawing. Councilmember Ciernia offered an amendment that would not imply the sale of the liquor store or condeming the gas station. Attorney Van de North felt the point was well taken as the plan is a preliminary one and Council is not committing to any variances or other approvals that j-t DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT N0. 2 RESOLUTION BULLSEYE PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN APPROVED might be necessary with respect to the final plan or a building permit. Following a discussion on-the wording of the motion, Mayor Eggert withdrew his original motion and moved that the preliminary site plan be approved with the understanding that sale of the liquor store and acquisition of the gas station remain under consideration. Motion was seconded by Council- member Hard and upon a vote being taken carried unanimously. Mr. Collins again stated he did not have much confidelce in Bullseye's BULLSEYE ability to negotiate with the owners of the gas station, that he would TO NEGOTIATE like the City to participate in the negotiations and asked that Council WITH GAS take action authorizing that participation. He added that a meeting could STATION be scheduled for Tuesda}r, June 19th, following a meeting scheduled to discuss the development agreement. Councilmember Baldwin stated he felt no one who is to potentially to vote on the condemnation should take part in negotiations. Mayor Eggert explained Attorney Gasteazoro had originally suggested City participation as she felt a financially impartial third party would be of benefit. Councilmember Baldwin indicated he would like to see the City take a role, but not any of the five Councilmembers. Mr. Collins sta ed he preferred a member of the Council serve as mediator to which Councilmember Baldwin replied that he did not feel it was proper for a Councilmember to act as a mediator and an arbitrator.

At the present time, there is one sign at each end of the street and they cannot enforce "No Parking" in the middle area of the street.
