June 14, 1982 WCCO SPECIAL USE PERMIT Mrs. Elsenpeter reported that she had researched the radiation question thoroughly III and according to Mr. Gust of the Minnesota Health Department there is no research to substantiate a health hazard. There are no provisions for monitoring this type of operation. 1 Mr. Sheppard of WCCO appeared before the Council noting that Mrs. Elsenpeter had been requested to obtain this information and the firm has held up construction for two weeks for this report. Mr. Sheppard reported that an old road bed had been discovered and he asked what would be the procedure to move the driveway to the alternate site. Mr. Hawkins said that since the site plan had been approved, he felt that this should go through the Planning and Zoning again. Mr. Sheppard said he had consulted with Rice Creek Watershed Board and they preferred the alternate location. The maps were consulted with Mr. Sheppard pointing out the location of the alternate site. There was discussion on this point with the general consensus of the Council being this matter should be presented to the Planning and Zoning Board for an amended Special Use Permit. ENGINEER's REPORT Mr. Davidson reported on the bid openings that were held on Thursday, June 10, 1982. There were only two bidders and Mr. Davidson noted this was a disappointment. The bid for the repair of LaMotte Drive was approximately $8,000.00 over the estimated cost. Mr. Davidson reported after some discussion on this matter, his recommendation would be to eliminate LaMotte Road, award the bid for priority No. 1 - 3 thru 7 - in the amount of $25,257.00. The additional money that could be available, start with 8,9,10 priorities and do as much as the funds will allow, this would not allow any work to be done on LaMotte Drive this year other than some patching, then work this into next year's budget. The basic recommendation would be award to Ashbach Construction the amended bid of $25,257.00. Mr. Reinert moved to approve the Engineer's recommendation and adopt Resolution #82 -11. Mayor Benson recapped the work that is to be done according to the priority list prepared by Mr. Volk and attached to the Resolution as follows: Streets 1 - 3 thru 7; award the seal - coating bid to Schifsky & Sons in the amount of $15,650.00; including the completed work already done and approve City Crews to work on streets 8 thru 11 as the funds are available. Mr. Davidson recommended that the streets 8 thru 11 not be considered at this time - just do the contract work first. Mr. Reinert accepted this recommendation. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Elsenpeter. Motion carried unanimously. NORTHWESTERN BELL BURIED CABLE REQUEST III Mr. Davidson noted that there were two different setbacks noted on these permit applications. He had contacted Northwestern Bell and both are at seven (7) foot setback. Mr. Davidson suggested that the City adopt some standards as to the setbacks for the installation of utility line.
