All change _ <br /> orders exceeding $10,000 would require Council approval. <br /> Kim stated that it must be noted in the motion for approval that this procedure is"going <br /> outside of policy". <br /> CONSIDERATION OF PLANNING ISSUES <br /> Site Plan Review,MnDOT Communications Tower-Mary Kay explained that <br /> MnDOT has requested a site plan review for a 260 feet communications tower to be <br /> located at 7525 4th Avenue within the Department of Corrections facility site. MnDOT <br /> does not need permission from the City of Lino Lakes to construct this tower because of <br /> State legislation. The tower will be used by the Minnesota Department of Transportation <br /> (MnDOT),the Anoka County Sheriff's office, and 911. A building permit will be <br /> required. Property owners within 1,000 feet have been notified. <br /> Mary Kay stated that towers not exceeding 200 feet in height are allowed in the City <br /> Code. Because there is nothing the City can do regarding this issue,the report is for <br /> informational purposes only. A representative from MnDOT will be present at the July <br /> 27, 1998, Council meeting to answer questions. <br /> Kim stated she wanted an assurance from MnDOT regarding safety issues. In addition, <br /> she asked that Anoka County Airport, the Sea Plan Base, and the Lino Air Park be <br /> informed of this meeting. David Pecchia noted that from a public safety standpoint, the <br /> tower is beneficial. <br /> Consideration of a Minor Subdivision,James Hill-Mary Kay explained that Mr. and <br /> Mrs. Hill are requesting a minor subdivision and variance for the property at 302 Elm <br /> Street. Mr. and Mrs. Hill object to dedicating a 14 foot right-of-way to the City without <br /> compensation. They have no objection to the Park Dedication fee. The current City <br /> policy is to not compensate property owners for dedicated road right-of-way when they <br /> request a subdivision. Mr. and Mrs. Hill have refused to deal with staff and want to <br /> negotiate directly with Council. <br /> It was the consensus of the Council that the current land dedication policy be followed. <br /> Kim directed staff to give Mr. and Mrs. Hill the option of waiting to subdivide until Elm <br /> Street is upgraded. The City will have to purchase the right-of-way at that time. Mary <br /> Kay was asked to advise Mrs. Hill of the guidelines for addressing the Council prior to <br /> the meeting. <br /> CITY ATTORNEY CONTRACT <br /> Bill stated that it is very reasonable to review contracts. He gave a brief overview of his <br /> legal history. He is currently the city attorney for the City of Andover and the City of <br /> 2 <br />
