CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION October 5, 2015 <br />APPROVED <br />90 <br />91 Council Member Kusterman asked if there will be any disruption to traffic during <br />92 construction and Mr. Witter said that staff is looking at a staging plan now and while it <br />93 can be tricky, he expects just minor road closure. <br />94 <br />95 4. Stormwater and Erosion and Sediment Control Code Update — Community <br />96 Development Director Grochala explained that staff has prepared an update to the city <br />97 code. The update is mostly for reorganization of information but there is some updating <br />98 also to coordinator with watershed standards and changes. The city is generally more <br />99 restrictive than the watershed. The changes are summarized within his staff report. <br />100 <br />101 Council Member Roeser noted a current situation where the rules have impacted a <br />102 snowmobile route (Bill's Superette area) and he wonders if there is a chance that could be <br />103 undone. Mr. Grochala explained that it would most likely be quite difficult and <br />104 expensive. <br />105 <br />106 The council concurred to consider the ordinance updating the code at the next regular <br />107 council meeting. <br />108 <br />109 5.

The driveway for that property <br />124 will be five feet higher than the trail, making trail passage impossible. <br />125 <br />126 Community Development Director Grochala noted that the property in question is located <br />127 on a county highway so Anoka County would be issuing the driveway permit. Staff can <br />128 help the association follow up with the county on the situation. <br />129 <br />130 The council directed staff to report back at the next work session. <br />131 <br />132 Council Member Roeser also noted the 35W pedestrian bridge (on Main Street) and the <br />133 issue of allowing snowmobiles passage on that bridge.
