MINUTES City Council December 10, 1980 Mrs. Scalze stated that the City tried to amend its ordinance to be fair in park charges, but the State law has changed what the City can do. Mr. Burrows felt that St. Jude's will not resist a park charge. Fahey suggested that a total park charge should be negotiated and the City could divide it to be payable at each development phase. Councilman Pladeau stated that the City Attorney can work out these details. Councilwoman Scalze pointed out that the Planner felt the ponding areas on the St. Jude's property should not be changed. Fahey asked the Attorney if the Council could grant final approval with so many things unresolved. The Attorney stated that final approval could be granted contingent upon the approval of the PUD Agreement. Fahey stated that the PUD Agreement should include the park charge. Mrs. Scalze suggested that the PUD Agreement include the dedication of Jackson Street. The Engineer pointed out to the Council that in the past many developments had private roads which were to remain private, however the City ended up accepting them as City roads. Mr. Burrows felt that this would not happen in the case of St. Jude's. Mayor Hanson stated that it would be up to any future Council to decide if they wanted to accept this as a public road. Fahey stated that the Council should go on record saying that they do not want this as a public street. The Engineer stated that he is satisfied that the drainage plan is adequate. Carley informed the Council that there is a huge ponding area on the property. Fahey questioned if the City should have an easement for the ponding area. Mr. Burrows again stated that St. Jude's would rather not give easements. Fahey stated that he would be satisfied with something in the PUD agreement to cover this. Councilman DeBace commented that if final approval is granted contingent upon the PUD Agreement, and St. Jude's does not agree to the PUD Agreement, there will be a hold-up on the project. The Attorney stated that he could put together the framework for the PUD agreement and the Council could fill in the details, such as the park charge. Mr. Nadeau introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION N0. 80-12-461 - GRANTING FINAL APPROVAL OF THE PHASE I PROJECT TO ST. JUDE'S MEDICAL CONTINGENT UPON THE EXECUTION OF A PUD AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF LITTLE CANADA AND ST. JUDE'S MEDICAL WITHIN 60 DAYS Page -4-
