COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 14, 1995 Mayor Reinert suggested that the proposed Conflict of Interest ordinance be adopted as presented and that in the interest of saving staff time and tax dollars, a Notification ordinance be drafted that would require that all property owners within 600 feet of a property requesting a status change be notified by normal mail and the notification will include an affidavit of mailing including the names and addresses of the persons who were mailed the notification. Mr. Landers went out to the hall to confer with other petitioners. Consideration of Letter from Attorney Regarding the Construction of a Townhouse Unit in Wenzel Farms - Mr. Hawkins explained that a townhouse under construction was located only 11 feet from the street right-of-way. The builder did apply for a variance but later sent a letter to the City revoking the variance request and stating that they did have a right to complete the townhouse in the place where it was started. The letter cited other court cases to support the claim. Mr. Hawkins noted that the preliminary plat indicates that the location of all the buildings for this subdivision and indicates that this unit is located the required distance from the right-of-way. The building permit was issued and the building placement error was found when the footing were prepared. Mr. Hawkins said it is his opinion that the error was committed by the builder, Gold Star Builders. All setback requirements have to be met. Mr. Hawkins said based on his review of the matter, the building must be moved to comply with the City Code. Mr. Hawkins will respond to the letter written to the City. NEW BUSINESS Consideration of Minutes, Closed Council Meeting, June 12, 1995 - Council Member Elliott moved to approve the minutes as presented. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried with Council Member Kuether abstaining. Consideration of Gambling License for the Dead Broke Saddle Club - Mrs. Anderson explained that the Dead Broke Saddle Club applied for a gambling license earlier this year. However, they did not meet the eligibility requirements at that time and the gambling license was denied. This organization now meets the eligibility requirement; more that 15 members of the Saddle Club live in Lino Lakes and have been members for more than six (6) months. They have already submitted their application to the State and expect to begin their gambling operation at the 49 Club on September 1, 1995 if the City Council approves the gambling license. Council Member Elliott moved to approve the gambling license for the Dead Broke Saddle Club for operation at the 49 Club. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
