He has attempted to get permits for a driveway but has been denied a permit to Otter Lake Road by the DNR and has been unsuccessful in completing an agreement to use the easement dedicated for street and drainage purposes. Mr. Palmen explained that he had been working with the former City Planner and most recently with the City Engineer. He described his property and the easement which cuts his property into two (2) portions. Mr. Palmen referred to a house that was constructed to the east of his property (Darla Lowell) which uses the easement for a driveway access. He also noted that a land division has occurred and another house is now under construction using the same access. He told the City Council that he would like to use this same easement as access to his property. If this is not possible he asked that the City assist him in working with the DNR so that he can get access from Otter Lake Road. Mr. Palmen told the City Council that he felt that a double standard was being used in his case since other persons were allowed to use the street easement without upgrading the easement to a particular standard. Mayor Reinert told Mr. Palmen that he would direct staff to research the matter regarding the Darla Lowell property to determine if what is occurring at this time is in compliance with stipulations placed on that property. He also asked the staff to research Mr. Palmen's alternatives to establish an access to his property for the purpose of building one (1) home. ENGINEER'S REPORT Mr. Schneider did not have a report. PLANNING AND ZONING REPORT SECOND READING, Ordinance No. 93 - 08, Planned Unit Development (PUD) Base Zoning Designation - Mr. Schneider explained that this ordinance was developed because a resident on 4th Avenue wanted to use a portion of his residential property for commercial PAGE 2 1 1 1 COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 14, 1993 purposes. The PUD would function as a development procedure whereby a mixing of buildings and/or uses can occur which cannot otherwise be addressed by the base zoning district, or whereby internal site design standards deviates from the Ordinance may be allowed to improve site design and operation. The City's Planned District Overlay (PDO) zoning designation functions solely as an overlay district and can only be implemented when the proposed use is a permitted use or a conditional use as identified in the base zoning Council Member Bergeson asked if the PUD zoning district would replace the PDO zoning district. He said he is not comfortable about this if it is to replace the PDO zoning district because the City Council had been urged to eliminate PUD zoning within the last year or so. Council Member Bergeson asked if this PUD zoning ordinance was similar to the PUD ordinance previously in place. He asked that a side by side comparison be made. Council Member Bergeson moved to table the second reading of Ordinance No. 93 - 08 until June 28, 1993 and to bring the matter to the June 23, 1993 Council Work Session. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. ATTORNEY'S REPORT Consideration of Accepting Warranty Deeds for Apollo Drive; Donald and Marlys M. Cisewski, Thomas C. and Charlene Berglund, Peter P. and Nancy L. Wolfbauer, Robert Edward and Penny Linda Ring - Mr. Hawkins explained that settlements have been negotiated for portions of the new Apollo Drive roadway. There are ongoing negotiations with the remaining landowners and the eminent domain process is continuing for those who will not accept the proposed settlements. Mr. Hawkins asked that the City Council accept the warrantee deeds for the above listed landowners. He also noted that the next Disbursement Listing will contain the negotiated cost for these parcels and the City Council will be asked to approve those expenditures. Council Member Kuether moved to accept the warranty deeds for Donald and Marlys M. Cisewski, Thomas C. and Charlene Berglund, Peter P. and Nancy L. Wolfbauer, Robert Edward and Penny Linda King. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 26 - 93 ACCEPTING DONATION FROM THE CIRCLE -LER VFW POST 6583 Mr. Schumacher explained that the City Council has adopted a policy requiring all donations be approved by the City Council. PAGE 3 201 202 COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 14, 1993 The VFW has proposed to donate $8,000.00 for the purchase of two (2) mobile data terminals to the Police Department. The City approved one (1) terminal in its 1993 Budget and Anoka County is providing a second terminal at no cost to the City. If approved the VFW donation would give the City a total of four (4) terminals. Mr. Schumacher suggested that in the future, during the budget process, the City Council draft a list of items that were cut from the budget but are important for the operation of a particular department. An organization wishing to donate to the City could review the list and select an item or two that it wishes to donate. Council Member Kuether noted that there may be a problem if an organization has already selected an item to donate. The City Council should honor that request. Mayor Reinert said the organization donating to the City may look favorably at a list. In addition, the list could help spread donations more evenly and eliminate the need for individual soliciting by staff. Mr. Schumacher said that by providing a list of items deleted from the budget may help procure items that are actually needed. Council Member Kuether moved to approve Resolution No. 26 - 93 and accept the donation from the VFW with appreciation. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
