COUNCIL MINUTES June 27, 2016 DRAFT 4 Mr. Arnt added that he has spoken with Doug Fisher from Anoka County Engineering and he has no 126 issues with the road plans. Use of the site by PCI is connected to road repairs and convenience. He 127 noted one parcel involved that is rented. He used a map to indicate how trucks will move in and out 128 and where materials will be piled. He explained techniques they are using to keep their pile from 129 becoming too large. He would like to be able to allow trucks to go south on Otter Lake Road. He 130 pointed out that this is a shorter project since it’s just dealing with the MnPass lane. Also Mr. Arnt 131 said he prefer to provide a bond rather than the credit requested. Community Development Director 132 Grochala explained that there are certain requirements for public projects and it’s recommended what 133 should be provided other than a bond which is basically insurance and would require a claim if 134 instituted. 135 Planner Larsen reviewed the hours that plant operations would be allowed. 136 The council discussed the change in truck route requested. Mayor Reinert noted it shouldn’t be a 137 problem with the approval of the county in place and with such a short time span for the project (eight 138 days). Council Member Rafferty asked for staff comment since they are recommending a different 139 route (north on Otter Lake Road). City Engineer Hankee noted that there are already complaints 140 coming in with construction in the area; she understands the need to get this project done and 141 recommends that a balance be found. Community Development Director Grochala noted that there 142 will be construction traffic on that section of Otter Lake Road with or without this project. The 143 Planning and Zoning board directed staff to work with the applicant on a solution. Mr. Arnt said he 144 could work to keep his trucks off of that southern route to lessen the impact. Engineer Hankee 145 suggested that communication is a part of the plan. 146 Council Member Kusterman moved to approve Resolution No. 16-58 amended to allow the truck 147 routes both north and south, limited to one hundred per day. Council Member Manthey seconded the 148 motion. Motion carried on a voice vote. 149 Council Member Rafferty moved to approve Resolution No. 16-59 as presented. Council Member 150 Kusterman seconded the motion. Motion carried on a voice vote. 151 6E) Consider Resolution No. 16-61, Calling for Hearing on Tax Increment Financing Plan, 152 Clearwater Creek Business Park – Community Development Director Grochala explained that United 153 Properties is proposing a warehouse project (location described). As part of that project, 21st Avenue 154 would be extended. To assist with the development, the developer has submitted an application for tax 155 increment financing. The application is currently under review by staff and counsel. Part of the process 156 would be establishment of a district and plan and review by impacted jurisdictions, as well as a public 157 hearing. Staff is proposing that the council set that public hearing date. 158 Mayor Reinert noted that this is simply setting a hearing and more discussion is planned on this matter. 159 Council Member Kusterman moved to approve Resolution No. 16-61 as presented. Council Member 160 Rafferty seconded the motion. Motion carried on a voice vote. 161 162 UNFINISHED BUSINESS 163 164 There was no Unfinished Business. 165 166 167
