1 1 109 COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 14, 1987 standards. Mr. Bohjanen asked if the entire document would be open for discussion after this vote. Mayor Benson said yes. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Schumacher asked if this is considered the first reading of the ordinance to increase standards and designate executive housing districts. Mr. Hawkins said no. This should be in ordinance form and proper advertising and notifications must be completed as required in the City Charter. If the Council wishes to amend the City Code this must be in ordinance form and must have two readings in front of the Council and passed by a four - fifths vote of the Council. Mr. Marier noted that the Planner now has the authority to draw up the ordinance and have it before the Council for the next regular meeting. Mayor Benson suggested the following timing: January 13, 1988, P & Z Board review; January 25, 1988, public hearing and first reading before the Council and February 8, 1988, the second reading before the Council. The ordinance will then be published on February 16, 1988 and become effective on March 17, 1988. Mr. Bisel moved to have the ordinance prepared by Mr. Miller for P & Z review on January 13, 1988 and to set a public hearing for January 25, 1988 at 7:30 P.M. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Second Reading. Ordinance No. 21 - 87 - Mr. Marier moved to approve the second reading of Ordinance No. 21 - 87 and asked the Clerk to read the Ordinance. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Mrs. Anderson read the Ordinance. Motion carried unanimously. This Ordinance is printed in the November 23, 1987 Council minutes. First Reading, Park Dedication Ordinance Amendment, No. 22 - 87 - Mr. Miller explained that the Park Board asked him to check with other communities regarding land and cash donations from developers. He used the overhead projector to show requirements in other communities. He'noted that Centerville was the only metro community that had a lower donation requirement than Lino Lakes. The Park Board is recommending that the Council adopt Ordinance No. 22 - 87 increasing the park dedication and adding language that would require payment of the cash donation prior to signatures on a proposed plat. The reason for this requirement is so there would be money to work on that particular park before the new users move into the area. The Park Board had recommended no change for industrial and business districts requirements since they were comparable to other metro municipalities. Mayor Benson suggested locating ballfields in zones other than residential zones since they do attract large groups of people and can cause considerable noise. PAGE 3
