Licenses CITY TO NEGOTIATE WITH PROPOSED DEVELOPER OF PROPERTY AT 2061 W. LARPENTEUR REGARDING POSSIBLE PURCHASE OF CITY PROPER`Y Architect George Cundy and Robert Westlund, Jr., Westlund Construction, were in attendance requesting the City consider sale of a 25 foot strip of City land abutting 2061 W. Larpenteur. A developer is proposing construction of a three story office building on that property and would like additional land to allow for more landscaping. Following a discussion, Council indicated they were open to an offer on the land, and directed Wiessner to negotiate with the developer regarding a purchase price. ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE RELATING TO CHRISTMAS TREE SALES LOTS Council reviewed the proposed ordinance which would establish a separate category for Christmas tree lots with uniform regulations applying to all lots. Sam Jacobs, 1489 W. Hoyt, representing the Falcon Heights/Lauderdale Lions Club, stated they would not object to obtaining a license for their sales lot, but did feel it would be strange to require sign permits at $15.00 per sign when the funds come back into the community. He requested that Council consider exempting the club from the sign permit requirement. 5 f. MINUTES OCTOBER 12, 1988 PAGE 2 Joyce Gimmested, owner of B and J Midway Floral, felt it was unfair to allow the Lions to put signs near other retail businesses with tree sales lots, as it definitely reduced the sales at those lots last year. Following the discussion, Wallin moved adoption of Ordinance 0-88-15 which carried unanimously. ORDINANCE 0-88-15 AN ORDINANCE REMOVING CHRISTMAS TREE SALES LOTS FROM SECTION 5-6.01 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE AND ESTABLISHING SECTION 5-6.02 REGULATING CHRISTMAS TREE SALES LOTS STAFF TO RESEARCH OTHER COMMUNITIES REGARDING EXEMPTION OF NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS FOR DISCUSSION AT 11/9 MEETING Staff was directed to obtain information from other communities regarding exemption of non-profit organizations from sign permits. The matter will be discussed further at the November 9th meeting. REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPLACEMENT OF SOIL AND GRASS ON BOULEVARD AT 1728 TATUM Council discussed a reimbursement request from Edna Cowles, 1728 Tatum, for replacement of the boulevard sod in front of her residence. Wiessner explained the City did plan to replace approximately one-half of the sod in the spring of 1989; however, did not intend to remove and replace the existing soil as Mrs. Cowles has done. After a discussion, Chenoweth moved that Mrs. Cowles be reimbursed at a rate equal to 50~ of the typical cost of the per lot sod replacement on Tatum. The reimbursement will be made in the spring of 1989 after the cost has been determined. ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING FINAL PAYMENT FOR ST.

Motion carried unanimously. PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TIF APPLICATION AND APPLICATION FOR PUD GIVEN CONCEPTUAL APPROVAL Wiessner explained that Marcor Corporation has indicated a desire to submit a preliminary application for Planned Unit Development for the Southeast corner of Larpenteur/Snelling at the November Planning Commission, and staff has determined the City's present forms are inadequate. Council reviewed the proposed forms and recommended a $3,000 application fee and $7,000 letter of credit with the option to require more if costs exceed $10,000. A possible alternative would be for the developer to pay $10,000 up front. Council then granted conceptual approval of the documents and requested the final drafts be available for their review at a future meeting. ADJOURNMENT 1 The meeting was adjourned at 8:13 P.
