COUNCIL MINUTES June 27, 2016 APPROVED 126 Mr. Arnt added that he has spoken with Doug Fisher from Anoka County Engineering and he has no 127 issues with the road plans. Use of the site by PCI is connected to road repairs and convenience. He 128 noted one parcel involved that is rented. He used a map to indicate how trucks will move in and out 129 and where materials will be piled. He explained techniques they are using to keep their pile from 130 becoming too large. He would like to be able to allow trucks to go south on Otter Lake Road. He 131 pointed out that this is a shorter project since it's just dealing with the MnPass lane. Also Mr. Arnt 132 said he prefer to provide a bond rather than the credit requested. Community Development Director 133 Grochala explained that there are certain requirements for public projects and it's recommended what 134 should be provided other than a bond which is basically insurance and would require a claim if 135 instituted. 136 Planner Larsen reviewed the hours that plant operations would be allowed. 137 The council discussed the change in truck route requested. Mayor Reinert noted it shouldn't be a 138 problem with the approval of the county in place and with such a short time span for the project (eight 139 days). Council Member Rafferty asked for staff comment since they are recommending a different 140 route (north on Otter Lake Road). City Engineer Hankee noted that there are already complaints 141 coming in with construction in the area; she understands the need to get this project done and 142 recommends that a balance be found. Community Development Director Grochala noted that there 143 will be construction traffic on that section of Otter Lake Road with or without this project. The 144 Planning and Zoning board directed staff to work with the applicant on a solution. Mr. Arnt said he 145 could work to keep his trucks off of that southern route to lessen the impact. Engineer Hankee 146 suggested that communication is a part of the plan. 147 Council Member Kusterman moved to approve Resolution No. 16-58 amended to allow the truck 148 routes both north and south, limited to one hundred per day. Council Member Manthey seconded the 149 motion. Motion carried on a voice vote. 150 Council Member Rafferty moved to approve Resolution No. 16-59 as presented. Council Member 151 Kusterman seconded the motion. Motion carried on a voice vote. 152 6E) Consider Resolution No. 16-61, Calling for Hearing on Tax Increment Financing Plan, 153 Clearwater it Business Park —Community Development Director Grochala explained that United 154 Properties is proposing a warehouse project (location described). As part of that project, 21" Avenue 155 would be extended. To assist with the development, the developer has submitted an application for tax 156 increment financing. The application is currently under review by staff and counsel. Part of the process 157 would be establishment of a district and plan and review by impacted jurisdictions, as well as a public 158 hearing. Staff is proposing that the council set that public hearing date. 159 Mayor Reinert noted that this is simply setting a hearing and more discussion is planned on this matter. 160 Council Member Kusterman moved to approve Resolution No. 16-61 as presented. Council Member 161 Rafferty seconded the motion. Motion carried on a voice vote. 162 163 UNFINISHED BUSINESS 164 165 There was no Unfinished Business. 166 167
