CLOSED COUNCIL MEETING DATE TIME STARTED TIME ENDED MEMBERS PRESENT MEMBERS ABSENT CITY OF LINO LAKES COUNCIL MINUTES j0 1996 7:00 P.M. 7:30 P.M. Bergeson, Kuether, Lyden, Neal, Landers None JUNE 10, 1996 Staff members present: City Attorney, Bill Hawkins; City Administrator, Randy Schumacher; City Engineer, David Ahrens and Clerk -Treasurer Marilyn Anderson. The purpose of the closed meeting was to discuss pending litigation in the matter of Hokanson Development Company and the reconstruction of 12th Avenue/Holly Drive, Mr. Hawkins explained that the Trapper's Crossing preliminary plat was approved by the City Council on August 8, 1994. The motion for approval included a condition that the developer take action necessary to complete a satisfactory plan for the reconstruction of 12th Avenue/Holly Drive from County Road J (Ash Street) to Birch Street with necessary implementation to satisfactorily carry the traffic from the Trapper's Crossing plat and adjoining areas and the condition that a landscape and fence plan be prepared by the developer to provide a barrier around the plat to discourage trespassing on the adjacent rural property and other requirements as approved by the Parks and Recreation Board be included in the developer's agreement. Mr. Hawkins updated the City Council on where the Trapper's Crossing development is at this time. He noted that the developer, Roger Hokanson, has signed a development agreement for Phase 1 which included a stipulation that the developer pay $250,000.00 toward the improvement of 12th Avenue/Holly Drive. Since the signing of the development agreement, a feasibility study of 12th Avenue/Holly Drive has been completed. The cost to improve this roadway is considerable larger than anticipated therefore, the City is requiring that the developer pay more than what was included in the development agreement as well as specifically outline the type of fencing and landscaping. There have been a number of negotiating meetings because the adjacent landowners are not satisfied with the type of fencing proposed by the developer. The City is also asking for a larger dollar commitment for the improvement of the roadway. A tentative agreement has been reached. Terms of this agreement include the same fencing that was installed at the Oaks of Lino subdivision, a commitment of $265,000.00 for the roadway improvement and the developer install a roadway from Birch Street to the entrance of Phase 1 of the Trapper's Crossing subdivision that meets all MSA standards with the exception of the road shoulders. The shoulders will be gravel and not paved with bituminous. PAGE 1
