COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 10, 2003 APPROVED •1 Community Development Director Grochala indicated it would be completely reasonable to expect 2 that there are different levels of service at each ramp. He stated they could address some issues 3 during development but could realistically have an interchange with different LOS at different legs. 4 5 Councilmember Carlson asked that they look at item f. on page 1002.4 and .5. She read the 6 paragraph, which states The traffic generated from a proposed subdivision shall not require City 7 street improvements that are inconsistent with the Lino Lakes Capital Improvement Plan. However, 8 the City may, at its discretion, consider developer -financed improvements to correct any street 9 deficiencies.' She stated item g. does not have such requirements, and she recommends passing 10 tonight without item g. and passing item g. as an amendment. She is concerned about leaving this 11 wording in there. 12 13 Mayor Bergeson indicated the issue is really the bridge, and the point is they cannot do anything 14 about that. He stated it seems working with the developers, they could require some things with the 15 development in regards to the approach to those areas, but the bridge itself is beyond the City's 16 jurisdiction. 17 18 Councilmember Carlson commented on Senator Mark Kennedy's attendance at the last joint meeting, 19 indicating there was some discussion that he would be bringing something forward federally to 20 address the bridge. 21 22 Community Development Director Grochala indicated the intent of the coalition is to get money for 23 that, but at the same time there is no guarantee. He stated the other problem was that even if the gik 24 money was available today, there would still be three years of construction. He indicated this was a 25 difficult situation, and Staff had addressed how it could work, and this was the best they could come 26 up with. 27 28 Councilmember Reinert stated that if the recommendation is to pull out item g. and add as an 29 amendment, he would offer to table the ordinance and discuss at the next work session. 30 31 Mayor Bergeson asked how the calendar looked, and how much time they had. 32 33 City Planner Smyser indicated the moratorium expires February 20. Growth management has been 34 approved, and will be filed in a few days. He indicated this ordinance will not be in place when the 35 moratorium expires, but would be before anything could come before the City Council. He stated 36 there was a risk to delaying two weeks, but the zoning ordinance would not be approved before then 37 either, but would be before any projects get to the City Council. He indicated they could probably 38 wait two weeks if that is what Council wants to do. 39 40 Mayor Bergeson indicated another option is to pass as it is written, and refine through an amendment. 41 42 Councilmember Carlson stated she agrees with Councilmember Reinert's suggestion to take it back to 43 a work session, or she would support passing it without item g. so it would go before the Boards for 44 additional perspective as an amendment. She stated that once the ordinance is passed, it is difficult to 45 change it. 46 • 47 Councilmember Reinert asked if there were any suggestions from Staff on how to deal with item g. 48 besides what it says now. 20
