CITY COUNCIL MEETING JULY 22, 1996 4. A total of four (4) entrances onto Highway 49 (Hodgson Road) shall serve this development subject to MnDOT approval. The office access shall be eliminated. 5. Proper permits shall be obtained from the Rice Creek Watershed District. 6. The Howard's shall provide the City with a set of rules and regulations governing the rental, operation and maintenance of the park including trash handling and location. 7. All conditions outlined in the settlement agreement dated February 25, 1992 shall be made a part of this permit. The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed this proposal at their July 10, 1996 regular meeting and recommended approval. Council Member Kuether asked if the Public Works Superintendent had reviewed the street plan for snow removal concerns. Mr. Ahrens explained that all of the streets in the Baldwin Lake Court are private streets. The City Public Works Department will not plow snow or maintain the streets. Council Member Bergeson reminded staff that an ordinance has been passed that required all residential garages to be attached to the home. Ms. Wyland explained that this particular ordinance does not pertain to R-6 development. The site plan submitted to the City Council meets all criteria of the R-6 Subdivision. Council Member Kuether asked what happens to the garage when a tenant decides to move and take their mobile unit with them. Mrs. Howard said that sometimes the owner takes the garage as well. Most of the time, both the home and the garage remain on the lot. Mayor Landers noted that the cul-de-sac is longer than is allowed in the City Code. Mr. Ahrens said yes, however, the cul-de-sac is in accordance with the court settlement. Mayor Landers asked if the homes that are brought in are purchased by an owner or the Howard's. Mrs. Howard said that people purchase their homes and bring them into the park. Mr. Schumacher asked how utilities will serve this development. Ms. Wyland explained that the settlement agreement requires that easements in the private street be given to the City to allow maintenance of the utility services. She further explained that the development agreement will outline how utilities will be constructed. The Howard's have not decided if they will install the utilities or if the City will install the utilities and assess the Howard's for the costs. PAGE 8
