July 25, 1977 with one exception. Discussion of the cost of a feasibility study - Mayor Bohjanen asked if this could be charged to the petitioners? Mr. Locher said, Yes, if there is 100% of the owners signatures. Mr. Gotwald said he had advised this petitmons be presented in this matter in order to get all the land owners together for an informal meeting. He is not suggesting the City order a complete study. He felt the City could act in the role of an administrator in this matter. Mr. Gotwald was asked for an approximate cost and he said about $50.00. Mr. McLean asked if the flow direction involved more costs and Mr. Gotwald felt there is a possibility of sewering these lots to the South. This would just be an informal hearing before the Council with all the present owners with no cost estimate for in- stallation. The Council felt this would be a question that would be asked and Mr. Got - Wald said he could give them a figure that other systems being constructed are using. The petitioners must obtain the missing signature and it will then only be necessary to send cards of notifications - publication is not necessary. Mr. McLean moved to direct the Engineer to make a preliminary feasibility study. Se- conded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously. The Clerk is to inform the pet- itioners that the remaining signature is necessary and to send notices to all owners setting the informal hearing for August 22, 1977 at 8:30 P.M. Mr. Karth so moved. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. The Public Hearing for Shenadoah 111 was called to order at 8:30 P.M. by Mayor Bohjanen. Mr. Locher read the legal publication setting forth the time and place and including the legal description of the lands to be platted. Mr. McLean presented the corrected map incorporating the suggested changes by the Planner and Engineer. There is no dedicated park lands in this plat therefore the City would accept money in leiu of land. Mr. Locher said he had made a change in the legal description and has forwarded to the County. Mr. Schneider asked if there should be some consideration of requiring the completion of Shenandoah 1 and 11 before expanding into the third plat? Mr. McLean said the Council has no means for controlling the amount of lands platted. The walkway to the West was discussed. This is to be used for drainage pruposes with an eye toward the possibility of a gate at this point if and when the Anoka County Open Space is fenced. Mr. Glenn Rehbein suggested that instead of assessing each plat so much per acre of land for money in leiu of land for parks, the Council consider a flat amount per lot. This would equialize the costs to the developers and the costs would be known immediately. Mr. Reljbein said in some communities, the charge is $50.00 per lot up to $150.00 per lot and this is paid on issuance of a building permit. This would be collected on all permits and would include the lands being built on that are not a part of a plat. There was some discussion on this matter with the general acceptance -by the Council. Mr. Schneider asked at what point this would become effective and was told at the time the Ordinance is amended. This can be done by Resolution. Mr. Zelinka moved to approve the preliminary plat of Shenandoah 111 subject to letters from Anoka County Highway Department, DNR and Rice Creek Watershed Board. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously.
