• • • COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 24, 1996 Chief Pecchia noted that since the City does not have a cat ordinance, the Police Department cannot advise the residents to call the Otter Lake Animal Hospital. The City would be charged every time the Animal Hospital responded to such complaints. It was decided that Council would adopt the FIRST READING of the Animal Ordinance now and then get more information and discuss the matter of a cat ordinance at the next work session. Council Member Kuether moved to adopt the FIRST READING of Ordinance No. 03 - 96 and dispense with the reading. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Accept Easement, Lino Air Park, Roger Kolstad - Ms. Wyland used the overhead projector to identify the property and explained that Mr. Kolstad is planning to extend Carl Street to serve five (5) previously platted lots in the Lino Air Park North subdivision. As part of the project, Mr. Kolstad has dedicated additional roadway and utility easements. The City Engineer has reviewed the submitted easements and found them to be in conformance with the approved plan. Staff is recommending that the City accept the easement documents as presented. Mr. Kolstad will not be paid for the easements since the easements are a requirement if Carl Street is to be extended. The extended street will be constructed to meet current street standards, be consistent with the existing street and have curb and gutter on the south side of the street. It was noted that the City is in litigation with Mr. Kolstad regarding a culvert placed in County Ditch #22 and the Rice Creek Watershed District has given Mr. Kolstad permission to extend Carl Street. Council Member Kuether moved to approve the easements as presented. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of MUSA Designation, Pheasant Hills Preserve, 7th Addition - This item was removed from the agenda at the time the agenda was approved. Consideration of Resolution No. 96 - 73, Livable Communities Action Plan - The City Council elected to participate in the Metropolitan Livable Communities program in November, 1995. In December, 1995, the City submitted a set of one-year goals as a part of that program. The City is now required to provide the Metropolitan Council with an Action Plan outlining how the City will attain the goals. Resolution No. 96 - 73, if adopted, adopts a Housing Action Plan which will be expanded within the framework of the overall Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommended adoption of this resolution to comply with the Livable Communities Act. PAGE 21
