CONSIDERAT1GA AND APPROVAL OF DISBURSEMENTS
December 31, 1986 - Mr. Marier questioned the payment to Apitz
Garage for draining and cleaning gas tanks. Mr. Volk explained

gas supply ran so low that it pumped sludge into the gas tanks.
Mr. Marier questioned the payment to Havco for a rotary adaptor.
Mr. Volk explained this expense was actually for parts for the
new shop hoist. All departments were billed part of this cost.

ments as presented. Mr. Reinert seconded the motion. Motion
carried unanimously.
OPEN MIKE
Mr. Rockey Goertz from the audience said he presently owns storage
units on Lilac Street. These units are of a pole -type structure.
There is now a moratorium on pole -type construction and he asked
if he would be allowed to build additional pole -type storage units
that will look like what he has there now.
Mayor Benson said the Planning and Zoning Board and the Council
are currently reviewing the building standards and Mr. Goertz
will have to wait until February before the Planning and Zoning
Board makes it's final decision.

CONSIDERATION OF QUOTES FOR PURCHASE OF NEW COPY MACHINE - DAN TESCH
Mr. Tesch has prepared an analysis of the copy machines he has
researched for possible purchase by this City. The current
ce
Xerox machine is over five years old and is are esignedotocprodu000
1500 to 2000 copies per month. Currently, we
to 8000 copies per month and the increase in the cost of the
maintenance contract has made it imperative that the City con-
siders purchasing an updated machine with features such as two -
sided copying, automatic document feeder and a sorter /collator.
The four copy machines researched are: Xerox, Cannon, Mita and
Sharp. It is his recommendation that the City purchase the
Cannon copier. The cost fits within the budget, has the best
maintenance agreement and has the ability to add other features.
Mr. Reinert asked if leasing a machine was considered. Mr.
Schumacher explained it was considered, but it is more expensive
than purchasing.
Mr. Bisel moved to approve the purchase of the Cannon copy machine
with the automatic features. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion.
Motion carried unanimously.
PRESENTATION BY GAS FRANCHISE CONSULTANT, NORM DIETRICH CONCERN-
ING OPERATION OF GAS f
Mr. Dietrich explained he was asked to look ito hidde ofno
Lino Lakes starting its own gas company by purchasing

Lakes portion of the Circle Pines gas company. company
opinion that with the current 184 customers, gas co co per year
would operate in the red, initially possibly 811,000.00 gas
until the number of customers reached 300 to 350. However,
norllt he pointiwhere the lgas rcompany ecould perateein customers
theblack.
reaached ed the point
Benson asked what problems would this City encounter. Mr.
Dietrich said most important would be the cash flow problem. Also
the City would have to hire a person who is very familiar with
the operation of a gas system. This person would have to do
everything except construction until the system became profitable.
Mayor Benson asked if Lino Lakes agrees to contract face? Pines for the next five years, what would this City Mr.
Dietrich said he was pleased that there was a clause in the
•chise that allowed Lino Lakes to purchase the system. How-
ever, it will be much more costly since it can no longer be
purchased at the depreciated value.
Mayor Benson asked Mr. Dietrich if Lino Lakes should odego intouthec
gas business. Mr. Dietrich said he was a big proponent
utilities, however, Lino Lakes would be competing with North
Central and it would require considerable more growth in the
system.

Mayor Benson asked about cash flow. Mr. Hawkins explained the
City could bond for acquisition and start up of the system. Mr.
Marier explained this would be expensive because a border house
would csfo athetpubrchasesofuatsttated amountaofs would
gas regardless of
contract
whether or not it was used.
Mr. Bisel asked what condition the present system is in. Mr.
Dietrich said that would be hard to determine and the lines are
twenty five years old.
Mayor Benson thanked Mr. Dietrich for appearing before the Council.
Mr. Schumacher noted that the Circle Pines Council will meet
tomorrow night and will review the proposed franchise.
CONSIDERATION OF ANIMAL CONTROL CONTRACT PROPOSALS FOR 1987
Mr. Schumacher explained two proposals have been received; one
from Lake Animal Care, Inc. and one from Knollton Kennels. The
basic difference between the two proposals is that Lake Animal
Care will provide the service for $369.00 per month and Knollton
Kennels costs are on a fee for service rendered basis.
Mr. Marier moved to table this item until staff has checked with
other cities serviced by Knollton Kennels. Mr. Reinert seconded
the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING - DEER PASS TRAIL IMPROVEMENT
Mayor Benson opened the public hearing at 8:06 P.M. Mr. Stahlberg
gave the history of the construction of Deer Pass Trail. He
noted if the streets were upgraded to the required specifications,
an additional two inches of blacktop would be required and the
entire surface would be widened an additional two feet.
Mr. Wayne Ellison asked why would Deer Pass Trail be upgraded
when Rolling Hills Drive needs it so much more. There is just
a limited amount of traffic on Deer Pass Trail and there will
never be a whole lot more.
Mrs. Labuda asked Mr. Stahlberg if he had looked at the Road.
He said yes. Mrs. Labuda explained that Deer Pass Trail is in
better condition than Reiling Road which was constructed two
years ago.
Mr. Ray Mattson said he feels as Mrs. Labuda and Mrs. Ellison do.
Deer Pass Trail is a super highway and Rolling Hills Drive is a
trail in comparison. He asked if the project is inevitable? If
087

this is the case, lets get on with it. He explained this matter
was brought up when he built in 1977 and the cost then would be
$10,000.00. Now the cost would be $17,000.00.
Mr. Charles Prokop explained he had brought this situation to the
attention of the Council. He felt that if the Comprehensive Plan
is amended there could be additional building in this area. He
wishes to protect his original investment in Deer Pass Trail. He
presented a proposal to the Council. This proposal would complete
Deer Pass Trail in 1990.
Mr. Labuda said he does not see why the road should be improved at
all. He said he owns the majority of the lots and does not plan
to sell them.
Mr. Volk explained Deer Pass Trail has been added to the seal coat
program. He does not see a major problem with this street so long
as it stays in the seal coat program.
Mr. Reinert asked to determine if the agreement the past Council
made with Mr. Prokop is binding on this Council regarding assess-
ments.
Mr. Hedberg asked if the current owners of the lots could reimburse
Mr. Prokop and leave the street as it is. Mr. Hawkins said this
was feasible.
Mr. Reinert said the street could be improved and assessed and Mr.
Labuda could recoup his costs by selling the lots. Mr. Labuda
said he does not plan to sell these lots but some day give them to
his children.
Mrs. Labuda asked the Council to delay a decision on this matter
until the neighbors can get together with Mr. Prokop and review
his proposal.
Mr. Marier moved to close the public hearing at 8:42 P.M. and to
have the owners of this property on Deer Pass Trail to get together
with Mr. Prokop and submit their recommendation in writing to the
Council and have the City Administrator and Attorney involved if
an agreement is reached. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion
carried unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING - EJM PIPE SERVICES - EXTERIOR STORAGE SCREENING
Mayor Benson opened the public hearing at 8:43 P.M. Mr. Kluegel ex-
plained that the Planning and Zoning Board had reviewed this request
for a Conditional Use Permit to store steel pipe at 7807 Lake Drive.
Mr. Montgomery of EJM Services explained this pipe is used in his
business. The City Planner had recommended that the fence around
the storage area include redwood slats for additional screening.
Mr. Kluegel felt that in time the slats would become unsightly.
1

The Planning and Zoning Board had recommended approval with several
conditions.
There was no one in the audience to speak on this matter.
Mr. Marier moved to close the public hearing at 8:48 P.M. Mr. Bi-
sel seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Benson asked Mr. Kluegel how he felt about this request. Mr.
Kluegel explained that he is working with Mr. Montgomery to get the
area screened according to code. Mr. Montgomery will be requesting
a permit in the future for an office addition and blacktop parking.
Mr. Reinert moved to approve the Conditional use Permit for EJM
Services subject to the stipulations outlined by the Planning and
Zoning Board. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING - PRELIMINARY PLAT AND REZONE - GARY UHDE, SOUTH
RESHANAU SHORES - FIRST READING, ORDINANCE NUMBER 01 -87
Mayor Benson opened the public hearing at 8:53 P.M. He asked that
all persons speaking to this issue give their name and address and
not address a subject already covered.
Mr. Kluegel explained this request involves an eighty acre parcel
located on the south side of Birch Street, west of the radio tower
and running south to meet the north boundary of the Colonial Woods
Plat. The Planning and Zoning Board has recommended approval sub-
ject to the approval of the amended Comprehensive Land Use Plan by
the Metropolitan Council. The plat is to be completed in two pha-
ses. The first phase will have ninety -nine home sites. Permits
will be required from the Department of Natural Resources, Anoka
County, CORP'S, U.S. Fish and Wild Life, Rice Creek Watershed
District (RCWD) and has also been reviewed by the Park Board.
Mr. Will Neumeister, Planner for Mr. Uhde explained this is planned
to be a three year project and will consist of upper bracket priced
homes. Mr. Stahlberg using the overhead projector explained the
location of the ponds, the piping between the ponds and the direc-
tion of the storm water flow to the ditch that runs north under
Birch Street to Reshanau Lake.
Ron Conway - 6280 Red Maple Lane commented that the preliminary plat
does not show easements. Mr. Stahlberg said there will be recorded
easements on the final plat. Mr. Stahlberg also noted that this
plat will not change the pattern of waterflow in the area.
John Benson - 6347 Red Maple Lane presented a letter to the Council
outlining contingencies that the concerned citizens residing in Co-
lonial Woods have outlined. Mr. Benson read the contigencies. It
is his concern that some of the storm water from Phase II would flow
088

south from that plat into Colonial Woods. Another concern is for
the condition of the street, Red Maple Lane and the density of
traffic. A third concern is the access from the new plat to Red
Maple Lane, Fox Road. The residents do not want the traffic and
wondered if construction equipment will be using Red Maple Lane.
Mr. Newmeister said the construction people will use Birch Street.
Mr. Benson asked the Council to examine the plat with Phase II in
mind to insure the ponding areas and parks do not conflict with
future development in Phase II and with Colonial Woods. The resi-
dents of Colonial Woods also want a buffer zone for public safety,
road use, water flow and home values. He added that the Council
could require a bond from the developer in the event there is any
harm done by the developer as well as restrictive covenants so
that the builder could not build lower value homes. It is the
primary concern of the concerned citizens that the development is
done in an orderly fashion in particular as it relates to Phase II.
Mr. Stahlberg said the southern part of the proposed plat is the
highest point of the plat and the natural drainage is to the north.
Mr. Benson said he is just asking the Council to approve the plat
according to the outlined contigencies, he wants the citizens to
be protected.
Mr. Stahlberg noted that the access to Red Maple Lane is already
on the Colonial Woods plat and the aerial map on the wall shows
that the development will be around the low areas. There will be
more ponding surface than what is currently there. He also noted
that the one of the problems last spring with the holding pond in
the Colonial Woods plat is that it did not have an outlet. There-
fore it overflowed into the adjoining yards.
Miles Pojar - 6255 Red Maple Lane noted he had damage last spring
from flooding. The proposed new development will dam water and it
will back up to his yard. He asked the Council to protect him.
He noted the soils in his area are bad and asked that his area be
ditched to the holding ponds. The soils are so bad they cannot
drain away quickly. Mr. Uhde said a swale can be constructed.
Mr. Pojar asked that this swale be constructed when Phase I is con-
structed. Mr. Uhde said all water in the plat will be funneled
toward Reshanau Lake. Mr. Pojar said now it is difficult to de-
termine where water comes from. He asked that the Council pro-
tect him. Mr. Pojar asked when Phase I is developed will the de-
veloper provide water flow from the entire project. Mr. Newmeis-
ter said yes, they will develop both horizontal and vertical water
flow. Mr. Stahlberg said that the same drainage pattern that is
there now will be utilized and runoff cannot occur at a faster rate
than what is occurring now.
Bob Nelson - 6733 East Shadow Lake Road expressed concern for the
type of runoff into Reshanau Lake and how long it will take for the
ponds to lower. He asked if he measured the gallons in the ditch
1

now, will it be the same after development? Mr. Stahlberg said yes,
this is a requirement of RCWD.
Mr. Nelson said the lake cannot take anymore damage from fertilizers
and sewage. The lake area residents treat the lake for weeds at
their own expense now. He asked, can you assure me that the runoff
will be the same quality as it is now? Mr. Newmeister said RCWD
will require controlled flow and the installation of a skimming de-
vice and control of erosion and sediment. Mr. Nelson said his con-
cerns regarding water quality in the lake would be alleviated if a
water quality test were performed after the construction is com-
pleted. He did not want additional development to add to the con-
cerns of the residents already there.
Glenn Bowen - 6873 Black Duck Drive asked what type of filtration
system will be used on the wier? Mr. Newmeister said this informa-
tion will be supplied later but will conform to the requirements of
the RCWD. Mr. Bowen was concerned that runoff to the lake may con-
tain soap, street oil etc. He wanted to be sure that the runoff
is controlled so that the quality of the water entering the lake is
at least as good as it is now.
Gary Bailey - 6940 West Shadow Lake Drive was concerned because the
runoff from this plat could increase the lake level. He said the
Council could balance this by getting water out of the City. Mr.
Stahlberg explained the runoff into the lake will stay the same as
it is. now. It will be controlled so no peaks will be created. Mr.
Bailey said he was concerned because the plat may route water north
where normally it would flow south. Mr. Stahlberg explained that
the southern portion of the plat is the highest point so the water
normally flows north. He also noted the City is preparing to adopt
a master storm water drainage plan that will address all of the
storm water problems.
089
Ron Conway - asked if the Council was going to complete the storm
water manage master plan before they adopted this plat. Ur. Stahl -
berg explained there is much to do before the plan is prepared and
will take some time. Mr. Conway asked how snow thaw would be con-
trolled. Mr. Stahlberg explained that the snow would melt, run in
the street to a catch basin which would be piped into a holding
pond and then be handled the same as storm water. The catch basins
must be kept thawed by the Public Works Department.
Tom Drow - 6317 Red Maple Lane said his back yard never dries up and
told the Council that the area needs to get rid of the existing
standing water. He was concerned about what will happen to the drain-
age in the northeast corner of Colonial Woods plat. Mr. Newmeister
said a swale will be constructed to take the drainage northward. Mr.
Drow said he wanted some sort of insurance plan because the best in-
tentions do not always happen.

Mr. Volk addressed the breakup of Red Maple Lane. He noted there
are soft spots on the southern portion. His department is trying
to place another wear course over the existing blacktop to spread
the weight. He may need to excavate some areas and bring in clean
fill.
Mr. Marier moved to continue the meeting. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the
motion. Motion carried unanimously.
The Council took a ten minute recess at 10:12 P.M.
Mrs. Monica Slatten - 6823 Red Maple Lane referred to the pond on
the southern portion of Mr. Uhde's plat and asked if he would be
changing the natural area there. She noted that the area designated
for park or plat area is now marsh. She asked if Mr. Uhde was going
to excavate Phase II of his plat when he excavates Phase I. Mr.
Newmeister explained that Phase I will be done completely and some
in Phase II. Mr. Uhde explained there was many agencies he must
get approvals from before he starts any excavation. Mrs. Slatten
asked Mr. Uhde if he would consider increasing the size of his lots.
Mr. Uhde explained it is a matter of costs. As it is platted now
he will only get about two lots per acre because of the large amount
of ponding that is required.
Mr. Pojar commented to Mr. Uhde that as an amenity he decrease den -
ssity in the southern part of the plat.
Mary Leander - 6823 Red Maple Lane explained Mr. Uhde has platted
four and one half lots abutting her property. She asked that he
reduce the number of lots and asked if Fox Road is a necessity. Mr.
Uhde explained that Fox Road is already platted in her addition and
it would be a requirement of the City for him to plat the connecting
street.
Mary Kay Benson - 6347 Red Maple Lane said she did not want Fox Road
coming into their circle drive. Mr. Volk explained he feels it is
important that Fox Drive be completed for a second entry into the
area for emergency vehicles. It would also provide the Red Maple
Lane residents access to Mr. Uhde's park development and could be
the route when utilities are extended into the area. Mr. Benson
felt the road was not necessary for park access and the residents
should be allowed to decide if the road was warranted.
Steve Collova - 6323 Red Maple Lane asked if it would be better to
build a road to the west parallel with 62nd Street. Mr. Volk ex-
plained that 62nd Street has state aid designation and will probably
be upgraded to state aid specifications. Mr. Benson commented that
the condition of 62nd Street is going downhill.

Ron Swenson- 6310 Red Maple Lane said he has checked with such
state agencies as DNR, CORP and EPA and in each case a permit is
required. At what point in time will a EAW be filed? Mr. New -
meister said a EAW is not required because there will be less than
ninety nine homes. Mr. Swenson said this is not the information
he was given. Mr. Newmeister said all agencies have been contacted
and Mr. Uhde is working through their requirements for permits. Mr.
Swenson noted the sewer extension into Mr. Uhde's plat will need to
get approval and the City is required by law to submit plans and
specifications to PCA for their approval. Mr. Stahlberg explained
that the City has laid out the sewer extension and permits will be
obtained from PCA.
Ed Loscheider - 6710 Partridge Place noted that the ponds north of
him run into Reshanau Lake. If flow from the new plat also goes
to Reshan Lake lontthe affect the

explained the e homes

Mr. Pojar asked if the City has any control of the water from out-
side flowing into Lino Lakes. Mr. Stahlberg said no, the lakes in

Ron Leander - 6823 Red Maple Lane commented that the residents in the
Red Maple Lane know that Mr. Uhde's development is going to happen.
He asked how many projects are proposed and then changes made, can
there be some give and take in this situation. Lets solve some of
the water problems in this area. He said he realized that one acre
lots are not feasible. He asked that a buffer be incorporated into
Mr. Uhde's plan and leave the present road easement there for just
a bike path. He felt utilities could be also placed in the easement.
He did not feel there was a problem with emergency services,
said was not a valid concern. He is concerned about sixty kids used
to living in the country and not used to cars driving through. He
asked for mitigation regarding Fox Road. Mayor Benson said the Coun-
cil is just addressing Phase I at this time. When Phase II is plat-
ted then these concerns will be addressed.
A gentleman who lives on Black Duck Drive asked if the City has
final approval of this plat and if the City will maintain control of
the water runoff. Mr. Stahlberg explained that the City must
conform to RCWD requirements and must control the rate of runoff and

require skimming devices. Whatever is done must meet RCWD approval.
A gentleman commented that their requirements are not adequate. Mr.
Stahlberg said Mr. Uhde must submit his plans to them for their ap-
proval. The City does have authority to require more rigid standards
than RCWD. Mr. Marier said the City would make sure the lake and
property owners are protected.
Mr. Swenson said the matter of an EAW has not been resolved. He
felt an EAW was necessary and said the residents could petition for
an EAW.
Mr. Conway said he was not opposed to the development but wanted to
see fewer homes. He asked that the park be placed at the southern
edge of the plat to provide a buffer. He asked that Fox Road not
be excavated but used as a bike path. Mayor Benson said the Council
may not want to change the park location. It is in this location
because the Park Board had requested it be located there so that when
the lands to the west develop the park can be enlarged. Again he
said the Council is just considering Phase I of the plat. Mrs.
Slatten commented that the park location does also affect Phase II.
Mayor Benson said he is not sure this Council would want a park on
the southern boundary of Mr. Uhde's plat because it would not serve
all the residents.
Douglas Koppy - 6698 East Shadow Lake Drive noted that last spring
there was talk of building a dam near West Shadow Lake Drive. He
asked what has been done on this project? Mr. Stahlberg explained
that he was directed to prepare a feasibility study regarding the
road. The study was completed and a public hearing was held. The
residents did not want the project and to date the Council has not
made any further decisions on the matter. RCWD has studied the
overall situation and will not allow any controls to be built on
Reshanau Lake.
A resident asked when Mr. Uhde plans to start. Mayor Benson said it
will not be until after Metro Council has approved the Comprehensive
Lane Use Plan update, this Council must pass a rezone and Mr. Uhde
must get permits from all other agencies listed tonight. April
would be the earliest.
Mr. Leander questioned the park dedication; does Phase I have to
contain 10% dedicated parks and Phase II 10% dedicated parks or
can this Council look at the entire plat? Mayor Benson said the
Park Board looked at the entire development and the surrounding
area. He said the residents could address the Park Board about their
park concerns. Mr. Leander said that their request could fall on
deaf ears and we elected you (the Council) and we are asking that
you take the step and ask them to look at other alternatives.
Mayor Benson said the total Council will make this decision.

Mr. Bohjanen moved to close the public hearing at 11:00 P.M. Mr.
Reinert seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Stahlberg said regardless of whether or not this plat becomes a
reality the residents in Colonial Woods have some drainage problems.
Somewhere along the line the City is going to have to develop a
water management plan for this area. Mayor Benson said this would
be part of the City wide surface water management plan.
Mr. Schumacher explained that any action taken by the Council on
the rezone request or preliminary plat approval request must be
contigent upon Metro Councils approval of the Comprehensive Plan
amendments.
Mr. Bisel moved to approve the rezone for Mr. Uhde as outlined in
his application #86 -42 with the stipulation as stated in the letter
signed kzy Mr. Uhde regarding the Compehensive Plan approval. Mr.
Bohjanen seconded the motion.
Mr. Marier asked if the lower pond will be piped from the southeast
corner to the holding pond. Mr. Uhde said the southwest corner
for sure and maybe the southeast corner.
Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Bisel moved to approve the preliminary plat as presented with
the improvements as stated by the developer in the southeast and
southwest corners to include the recommendations of the City Engi-
neer regarding the construction of skimming devices and approval of
an excavation.pernii._t for Phase II and the first reading of Ordinance
#01 -87. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. "Mr. Reinert objected to
Phase I and Phase II being considered in one motion especially when
it was already stated that .the Council would not deal with Phase II
until Mr. Uhde requested preliminary plat approval for that phase.
He felt this matter was being handled wrong ".
Mr. Newmeister asked the Council if they would consider a request
for an excavation permit on Phase II during construction of Phase
I since some material will be needed from Phase II. Mrs. Slatten
said we were just told that Phase II was not going to be discussed
and now you are totally turning the situation around. Mr. Leander
said he is going to excavate at two corners and some at the pond,
if he starts doing other things how are we going to control this?
Mayor Benson noted the citizens asked to have the corners exca-
vated, not the developer. Mrs. Slatten said this is a question
of honesty. Mr. Bisel commented that the people in the Colonial
Woods area are concerned about surface water and the Council is
taking a look at water management and getting a handle on your
situation by requesting Mr. Uhde to do some further excavation.
He said he wished this was done when Colonial Woods was platted.
Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously.

explained the present pump had been pulled and serviced two years
ago and is in good condition.
Mr. Miers asked what type of wier system will be used at the holding
pond. Mr. Stahlberg said probably the same as used in the Uhde sub-
division. Mayor Benson said the Council will probably direct the
City Engineer to require the wier system to be much more rigid than
present standards.
Mr. Schumacher asked Mr. Stahlberg if he were satisfied with the
soil borings and grading plan. Mr. Stahlberg said he has questions
and needs a final grading plan but this will be resolved.
Elwin LaMotte - 6497 - 12th Avenue explained he has a barbed wire
hot fence on the eastern border of this plat. He suggested the
developer should install chain link fence to protect the residents.

Mr. Marier moved to approve the preliminary plat contingent upon
the engineers recommendations, contingent upon receipt of the final
grading plans and design of the wier.
Mr. Hawkins told the Council that they cannot require the developer
to install a chain link fence unless they consider the situation to
be a matter of urgent public safety.
Mr. Reinert told the developer that just spreading manure will be
a concern. This farmer will continue his operation. Mr. Dufrense
from the audience felt it was the duty of the developer to explain
this situation to potential buyers.
Regarding the chain link fence, Mr. Miers said he would share the
cost. Mr. Reinert said he was concerned about the hot fence. Mr.
Ficocello said he wished he knew of this concern when he met with
Mr. Miers previously. Mr. Schumacher said the old fence law could
be enforced and that procedure followed. Costs then would be shared.
Mr. Marier withdrew his motion.
Mr. Bisel moved to accept the preliminary plat to include the street
change on the western border and access to the south and the design
of the wier is to be comparable to the Uhde plat and resolve the
questions on soil borings and grading plan and boundary fencing to
be addressed before the final plat by the parties involved and

PUBLIC HEARING - ORDINANCE NUMBER 17 -86, AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE - #2,
CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT - FIRST READING
Mr. Schumacher explained this Ordinance combines the three ordinances
presented at the last Council Meeting. This Ordinance establishes
the Central Business District and addresses parking areas near street
right -of -ways and compact parking.
Mr. Reinert asked why pass this ordinance just for the Ross' Liquor
Site Corner situation? He felt a variance would take care of the
matter. Mr. Schumacher said a variance would set a precidence and
the Planning and Zoning Board said this situation did not meet the
criteria outlined in the City Code.
Mr. Bohjanen moved to approve the first reading of Ordinance #17 -86
and dispense with the reading. Mr. Marier seconded the motion. Mo-
tion carried unanimously.
