presented to the City to be used toward replacement of the City

CITY TO PARTICIPATE IN FUNDING OF EMERGENCY VEHICLE PRE-EMPTION
SYSTEM AT LARPTENTEUR/HAMLINE INTERSECTION
Council briefly discussed participation in the proposed traffic
signal revision and Emergency Vehicle Pre-emption System
installation at Larpenteur and Hamline, after which Ciernia
moved authorization of an expenditure of $3,988.78 from the
Street Department Capital Outlay Account. Motion carried
unanimously. Council also concurred that pre-emption equipment
should be installed in the squad car.
UPDATE ON HAMLINE AVENUE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT (LARPENTEUR TO
COUNTY RD B) - INFORMATIONAL MEETING FOR RESIDENTS SCHEDULED FOR
4/12/89
Madigan reviewed the Maier Stewart letter dated Feburary 21,
1989 and requested that Council determine whether or not Falcon
Heights is interested in a sidewalk/pathway on the west side of
Hamline from Roselawn to Larpenteur (Roseville is contemplating
such a pathway). Council was of the opinion that it would be
useful as a link to Como Park, Ramsey County Library, and local
shopping centers, however, they would need to see the projected
cost of such an installation prior to making any decision. They
also felt that the residents should be given an update, and
scheduled an informational meeting for 7:30 P. M. on April 12,
1989.
BULLSEYE PLAZA PARKING ITEM WITHDRAWN FROM AGENDA
Item F(6), Bullseye Shopping Center Parking Variance Request,
was withdrawn from the agenda due to the fact that the Planning
Commission did not have complete information and could not make
a recommendation. The Commission will address the matter at a
Special Meeting on March 20th.

allowing the Commission to expend funds for planning assistance
on the following items: 1) development of a Procedures Manual
which will provide more complete information for zoning requests
and simplify the procedure for both the applicant and staff, 2)
preparation of a proposed amendment to the residential
subdivision portion of the code which will bring it into
conformance with statuatory requirements, and 3) proposed
changes in set-back requirements for residential districts to
reduce the necessity for the large number of variances as
required in the past. The Planning Commission will conduct a
public hearing on the proposed code amendments on April 3, 1989
at 7:35 P. M. and will make recommendations to Council following
the hearing.
