OPEN MIKE There was no one to appear under this portion of the agenda/ UPDATE ON REGIONAL PARK 1 Mr. McLean made the opening remarks on the development of his park and introduced Mrs. Margaret Langfeld, Anoka County Commissioner, and Mr. David Torkildson, Anoka County Parks Director. Mr. Torkildson presented the plans for the construction of the back 9 holes on the golf course, noting that the first two fairways will be re- located as will the Club House. There was discussion on the access to the golf course being off Lake Drive through Aqua Lane. Mr. Torkildson pointed out there will be trails for horse back riding but no riding stables. Residents will have to bring in their own horses for riding. Mr. Torkildson pointed out that several of the fairways will be North of the creek and there will be walking birdges installed. The timing of the construction schedule was discussed with Mr. Torkildson noting the back nine holes hould be open for play around July, 1985. Mr. Schumacher asked about the necessary permits for construction and Mr. Torkildson said the architect will take care of that phase. There will still be access to the golf course on the West side of the 212 Council Meeting April 23, 1984 lake through Sandpiper Drive. This will be upgraded to accomadate the traffic. Other aspects of the development of thos park was discussed with Mr. Torkildson noting that the construction is approximately two years behind schedule due to the cutbacks at the State level. Mrs. Langfeld reported that the Economic Development Committee work is in process and she hoted that the most improtant issue before the Board of Commissioners at this time is the Solid Waste Disposal problem. Mayor BEnson asked about the updating of County Road J and Mr.Volk had attended a meeting last week and his understanding was nay primprovement on that road would be in conjunction with work planned by MnDOT and would need to wait for that program to be started. Mrs. Langfeld said that Anoka County and Ramsey County were applying for Federal Funds for the upgrading of that street. Mrs. Langfeld and Mr. Torkildson were thanked for their time and information. PLANNING AND ZONING REPORT - Pete Kluegel Public Hearing - Zoning Ordinance Amendment - Opened at 7:44 P.M. Mr.Kluegel noted this recommendation had been forwarded from the Planning and Zoning Board and recommends the elimination of all Radio/ TElevision, etc, Towers from the Rural area by Conditional Use Permits. Mr.Kluegel noted the reasons for this recommendation was 1) there is no revenue realized from these structures; 2) no job potential; 3) sacrifice of land that could be more mitensely developed; 4) conflict with FAA regulations. Local pilots ahve encountered navigation problems with this type of structure. Mayor Benson asked if there had been any contact with the Seaplane base or Aboka County Airport on this matter? Mr. Kluegel said there is documentation on the navigational problems. Mayor Besnon asked if this would eliminate all towers in the rural area and Mr. Kluegel said the Ordiannce prohibits any towers over 45 feet. Towers over 45 feet would require a conditional use permit. This pro- posal would only eliminate towers above 45 feet in the rural area, they would still be allowed in an industrial area with a conditional use permit. Mayor Benson asked if any one would like to speak on this recommendation and Mrs. Juliet Lindgren presented a petition in opposition to the ordinance amendment. Mrs. Lundgren has some questions the people had asked, 1) does this affect CB Towers? Trucker's relay? If this ordinance amendment eliminates all transmission towers, does this eliminate this tyep of tower? It was pointed out that nay tower 45 feet and under does not need a permit for installation. 213 Council Meeting April 23, 1984 Mr. Schumacher asked for clarification of this issue - does this amendment say that any tower over 45 feet would be eliminated. The residents could not make application for a conditional use permit for a tower over 45 feet. Mr. Kluegel said this is correct. The only zoning classification that would allow towers over 45 feet is a LI District. This type of tower is not allowed in an ER or R area even by permit according to the Z oning Ordinance. It was pointed out there had been some negative input from the Anoka County Airport as well as the Seaplane base and the Lino Air Park. Mr. REinert asked if this would only apply to future towers and of to the ones existing at this time and Mr. Kluegel said existing towers would be grandfathered in. Mayor Benson asked if there was any documentation as to an acceptable height that would not interfer with air traffic? Chief Myhre said 200 feet, 2 miles beyond the end of the runway. Mayor Benson asked about the HBO dishes on top of homes - wheres does the fottage start? at the ground? top of the structure? Mayor Benson felt that this amendment needs more study before a decision can be made. He felt that perhaps someone from the P &Z could be present to discuss their thoughts behind this proposed amendment. I Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to continue this hearing to May 14, 1984 at 7:30 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING - WEBER PLAT Mayor Benson opened the Public Hearing at 8:06 P.M. Mr. Kluegel noted this is a monor subdivision and an application for a variance to the City's requirements to hook into City Sewer. Planning and Zoning had recommended approval of the preliminary plat and to deny the variance. Mr. Weber, in splitting off the three lots, he is creating a lot of less than five acres and, if sewer is available, lots of this size must connect to Citysewer within one year. Mr. Schumacher suggested that Mr. Davidson present the feasibility report on this project. Mr. Davidson reported the project is feasible and listed the several ways in which this project can proceed. The projected construction cost is $8,190.00. If done as a City project and assessed, the estimated costs would be $11,000.00. This would be for the three parcels and providing a connection for Mr. Weber's home. Mr. Weber would then be responsible for the installation to that connection. Mr. Weber was asked if he had any preference as to how this should be done and Mr. Weber said he did not want to conenct to the sewer. He felt he had and adequate system. He said if the sewer must be connected to his home, he would appeal for some time. Mr. Kluegel said the Ordinance allows one year from the time the sewer is available. 214 Council Meeting April 23, 1984 Mr. Davidson said this service would be approximately equal to the assessment to the other lots, $3000.00. This would make the total estimated cost of the project approximately $15,000.00. This would be if this is an assessable project. Mr. Davidson said the estimated cost for construction only is $8190.00. A gentleman who lives at the end of Tomahawk Trail at the end of the existing sewer line asked if there was any chance that he would be assessed for any portion of this cost and was told, No. He also asked about the drainage from these lots to his, property and Mr. Davidson said the drainage would be collected on a pond on Mr. Weber's property. There are provisions for the 100 year runoff that would utilize the drainage of the Shenandoah II plat. Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to close the hearing at 8:25 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Motion carried unanimously. 1 Mr. Reinert moved to approve the Planning and Zoning Board's recommendation and approve the preliminary plat. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried with Mayor Benson abstaining. Mr. Reinert moved to deby the variance request to allow Mr. Weber not to connect to the sewer. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. This denial is based on the following reasons; 1) inconsistent with Comprehensinve Plan, 2) no hardship relating to the land, ect. included in the Planning and Zoning Board's recommendations. Motion carried with Mayor Benson abstaining. A five minutes recess was called at this point in the meeting. The meeting reconvened. Mr. Weber asked that this project be made a public project rather than a provate project. The City Charter requires a 60 day waiting period before the plans and specifications can be order for this project. 1 Mr. Marier moved to accept the feasibility report and set a public hearing for May 14,1984 at 8:00 P.M. approving Resolution #84 -16.
