SETTING THE AGENDA Council Member Neal asked to have an item "Correctional Facilities Meeting" added to New Business, 9D. CONSENT AGENDA Council Member Kuether asked to have the August 22, 1994 Disbursements moved to the regular agenda under New Business, 9E. Council Member Neal moved to accept the consent agenda as amended. Council Member Bergeson seconded the,motion. Motion carried unanimously. ITEM Disbursements: Centennial Fire Department PAGE 1 DISPOSITION Approved COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 REGULAR AGENDA OPEN MIRE Al DeMotts, 6265 Holly Drive - Mr. DeMotts explained that he spoke with Mayor Reinert this morning regarding questions he would like to see in a City wide citizens survey. He presented a copy of the questions to the City Council. Mayor Reinert said that the City Council has accepted his proposal for 20/20 Vision, A Guide to Lino Lakes Future. He noted that a survey may be a part of this process and asked Mr. Tesch to give a copy of Mr. DeMotts presentation to the facilitator when this person is hired. Caroline Dahl, 1101 Holly Court - Ms. Dahl read from a prepared statement. She stated that the Council body is suppose to befor the people by the people. The Council was misguided at the August 8, 1994 City Council meeting. She said she though she was listening to Watergate except it was Linogate. The Mayor made a statement that the citizens run the show. The only show that was going on here was a three (3) ring circus. In the left ring, the developer. In the right ring, the staff and in the center our best, the City Council of Lino Lakes. The Council was disappointing and misguided. Ms. Dahl said that the Council was not listening to staff, the City Attorney and the residents and taxpayers. The only other participant was the developer. She asked the City Council in what direction is the City of Lino Lakes going and who are they listening to. Ms. Dahl said that someone told her that she and her neighbors were railroaded at the last Council meeting and she felt that was an accurate statement and it will not happen again. She said that tonight they were not in the "Lino zone", but are in the Council chambers. Ms. Dahl said that she has freedom of speech as an American and a citizen of Lino Lakes. She said that no longer will she be told that she is restricted to five (5) minutes or restricted to just four (4) people if more people want to talk under Open Mike. Ms. Dahl said she was told that she and her group could not be put on the agenda as they were suppose to be. She felt that all her group has as a means of communication is Open Mike. At the work session (August 3, 1994) her group tried to work with the Council but got very few answers. They were told by the Council that they did not have a report in front of them and said such things as, "we cannot answer that particular question" or "we will have to get back to you on this matter". Ms. Dahl said that is not what she would call listening to her group and giving them answers. She called it "stone walling", not answers. Ms. Dahl said she thinks something has been lost by the Lino PAGE 2 1 1 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 Lakes City Council. She called it "lack of direction". She said that giving the citizens of Lino Lakes an opportunity for input is a "must" and sincerely hoped that everyone at that meeting learned something. She asked the city Council to be open minded this evening. She said that she believed that if you do not tell the truth, it will haunt you for a long time. She said she felt that there were misstatements made that evening by the developer, Council and part of the staff. She said this will haunt everyone for a long time. Ms. Dahl said the only way to correct what happened that evening is to admit that a mistake was made and go back and redo the proceedings correctly. Ms. Dahl asked again, what direction is Lino Lakes going and who is Lino Lakes listening to. Chris Lyden, 6275 Holly Drive - Mr. Lyden said he would like to give credit to the Planning and Zoning Board and thanked them for the responsible and professional manner in which they examined the preliminary plat that came before them. He felt that they performed their duty with sincerity, objectivity and based their examination on its own merit without any preconceived ideas. Mr. Lyden explained that the developer brought a preliminary plat before them and it was denied twice. He felt that the Planning and Zoning Board spent a great deal of time reviewing this plat. Mr. Lyden thanked Mr. Brixius for his honesty when he admitted that he told the developer that if he would agree to rezoning the property from R -I to R -1X that he would have a "free hand with a PDO". Mr. Lyden said that Mr. Brixius has said that this may have been a mistake and he appreciated that Mr. Brixius is being open about this matter. Mr. Lyden said that the last meeting was confusing. He asked Council Member Neal if it was confusing to him when it came time to vote. Mayor Reinert told Mr. Lyden this was not the time for such questions and asked him to state his specific questions. Council Member Neal said he would like to answer and explained that he favored the development because the development will be contingent upon the developer who would agree to participate in the improvement of Holly Drive. If Holly Drive is not improved, the development will not be constructed. Mayor Reinert said that this is only one of the conditions of the approval of the preliminary plat. Mr. Lyden asked Council Member Neal if he was aware of who was asking for the PDO. Council Member Neal said that it is his opinion that a PDO is better for the neighborhood and a person from that neighborhood agreed with this opinion. Council Member Neal explained that a PDO would give the City more control over the development. Mr. Lyden said that he felt that without the PAGE 3 33 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 PDO the neighborhood would have had some control over the density and that is what their entire object was. He said that it is a fact that the developer is asking for a PDO. Mr. Lyden said that words like disappointment or frustration do not come close to describing what he felt at the August 8, 1994 Council meeting. He said shock and horrified come close to describing how he felt when he saw the decision making process. Mr. Lyden said he feels that he and his neighbors have been branded as irrational or malcontents and this cannot be further from the truth. He said he has always been prepared to accept the full realities of Trappers Crossing. This issue for him and his neighbors has been one of policy procedure, due process, validity and credibility. He noted the MUSA changes and the rezoning procedures. Mr. Lyden explained that he is a teacher and his wife is a nurse and his neighbors are all very good, hard working people. He said he considers the City Council his neighbors too, but was not proud of them on August 8, 1994. Again Mr. Lyden said his issue is due process. On August 8, 1994, Mr. Lyden asked that Trappers Crossings be taken off the agenda because the Planning and Zoning Board had not reviewed that particular plat. The response he received was that the plat was a composite. Later Mr. Lyden called Mr. Brixius for an explanation of the word "composite". Mr. Brixius was not available and he spoke to another person at his office who did not know about a "composite". Mr. Lyden then called two (2) other credible engineering firms and asked them if they have ever heard of a "composite". Mr. Lyden gave the names of the persons he contacted. Neither had ever heard of "composite" as a legal, professional term. One of the persons he contacted suggested that Mr. Lyden check to see if the term is in the code book. The term is not in the City Code. He asked why the term is not in the book. Mayor Reinert said that Mr. Brixius will respond to this during the consideration of the Trappers Crossing rezone request. Mr. Lyden posted a map of Trappers Crossing onithe easel and noted that there are 28 lots on the northern portion of the plat and 87 on the southern portion of the map. He noted that apparently a "composite" is putting two (2) different preliminary plat together. Mr. Lyden said the he has checked and all 87 lots on the southern portion of the plat have changed since that particular preliminary plat was presented to the Planning and Zoning Board meeting. He said that the Planning and Zoning Board has never seen this revision and he felt that this is where he and his neighbors due process got "run over". Mr. Lyden said he wished he could say there was some mistake but believes that there was a conscious effort to undermine both the policy procedures and the due process of the citizens of Lino Lakes. He PAGE 4 1 1 1 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 felt that this can happen in any neighborhood in Lino Lakes. Mr. Lyden said he understands that some people feel that because he is not an engineer he should not have been talking about cul- de-sacs at the August 8, 1994 Council meeting. He said he would gladly give anyone who wants to review the facts that he presented at the last meeting due process. BUILDING DEPARTMENT REPORT, PETER KLUEGEL Consideration of the Building Department Quarterly Report - Mr. Kluegel explained that 313 building permits have been issued the first six (6) months of 1994 for a total construction valuation of $16,087,351.00. To date 165 permits have been issued for new homes. This represents a decrease of 52 new homes when compared to 1993. A permit with a valuation of $528,000.00 has been issued for the renovation of Building B to house additional inmates at the Minnesota Correctional Facility. Mr. Kluegel noted that he has been told that additional permits will be requested for other construction projects at that facility. A demolition permit was issued for the old Ross' Liquor Store at the corner of Lake Drive and Main Street. Mr. Kluegel noted that construction continues at a steady pace, but will not achieve the highs attained in 1993. The increase in interest rates and the decrease in the availability of new lots are major factors in slowing construction of new homes. Mr. Kluegel said he expected the total new home permits for 1994 to be just over two 200. He noted that Country Lakes Estates and Pheasant Hills Preserve, Fifth Addition have begun construction and there is a great deal of interest in these two (2) areas. Council Member Kuether moved to accept the quarterly report submitted by Mr. Kluegel. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion -carried unanimously. Consideration of Resolution No. 94 - 66 Adopting Revised Fee Schedule for Certain Building Department Permits - Mr. Kluegel noted that fees for plumbing permits, mechanical permits and fireplace permits have not been increased in this City for approximately 14 years. A survey of fees for several cities in the north suburban area, as well as other cities of the approximate size of Lino Lakes, indicates that the average plumbing permit fee is $60.00 or $6.00 per fixture. The average mechanical permit fee is approximately $52.00. Mr. Kluegel recommended that the Lino Lakes plumbing permit fee PAGE 5 i .. 41) COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 be raised to $7.00 per fixture or $70.00 for each new home, the mechanical permit fee be raised to $60.00 per home and fireplace fee be raised to $25.00. Council Member Kuether asked how many inspections are needed for a new fireplace. Mr. Kluegel said usually two (2). He noted that the state code does provide for a re -inspection fee. Council Member Bergeson said that he would suggest that the new fees be effective January 1, 1995 and that all building contractors should be notified in advance of the increase. Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 94 - 66 increasing the plumbing permit fee to $7.00 per fixture, the mechanical permit fee to $60.00 and the fireplace permit fee to $25.00 and the implementation date be January 1, 1995. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 94 - 66 can be found at the end of these minutes. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD REPORT, MARY KAY WYLAND Consideration of a Rezone for Behm's Century Farms and MUSA Considerations, FIRST READING, Ordinance No. 15 - 94 - Mr. Brixius explained that at the August 10, 1994 Planning and Zoning Board meeting, reconsideration of the Behm's rezoning and memorandum of August 5, 1994 were considered. A number of conditions were presented in this memorandum: 1. The MUSA expansion to include Behm's Century Farms be done as part of a comprehensive City-wide MUSA expansion, not as a MUSA land trade. 2. The future plat must comply with R-1 minimum lot areas, width and depth standards. 3. The developer is responsible for the full,cost of utility extension bringing municipal sewer and water to the site. 4. The plat design must provide sensitivity and protection of the Lino Airpark runway to avoid future land use complaints. 5. The developer pursue a variance for the Thomas Street cul- de-sac length. 6. The developer submit a phasing plan that will outline the staged development of the plat. 7. All grading, drainage, wetland litigation be reviewed and PAGE 6 1 1 1 1 1 1 4 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 approved by Rice Creek Watershed District. 8. Submission of development bylaws and deed covenants that outline airport protection, home sizes, etc. 9. Submission of detailed landscape and tree preservation plans that address screening at the periphery of the plat and reduces the visual impact of the subdivision from adjacent properties and the County road. 10. Compliance with Park Board recommendation with regard to area park needs. 11. Development contract that outlines the terms of the subdivision developments and includes financial securities that insure performance. Mr. Brixius explained that upon review and discussion of the above 11 items there was a recommendation to approve the rezoning request. The vote was split, three (3) to approve and three (3) to deny. Mr. Gelbmann was not present at this particular Planning and Zoning Board meeting. The rezoning request now is before the City Council for a decision. Mr. Brixius explained that Mr. Uhde wishes to make a presentation prior to the City Council action. Mr. Brixius noted that this is a logical growth area and with the expansion of MUSA would be an appropriate place for urban development. The area generally fits the guidelines of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan policies and the infill policies. Mayor Reinert asked Mr. Hawkins if a board or commission votes on a proposal and the vote is a tie vote, it is not considered passed. Mr. Hawkins said that this is correct. The matter comes to the City Council with no recommendation. Mayor Reinert asked what assurances would there be that a phasing plan would be adhered too. Mr. Brixius explained that a development contract will be prepared outlining the terms of the phasing plan. The language will either contain a specific date or the completion of a certain percentage of homes. There will have to be some allowance for the builder to prepare marketing plans for each phase. Mayor Reinert explained that this requirement will help the City in its plan for a level annual development to avoid the peaks and valleys of home building construction. He noted that this requirement will also relieve some concern in the neighborhood regarding building a large number of homes all at once creating a very significant change in the neighborhood. PAGE 7 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 Council Member Kuether referred to the memorandum of August 5, 1994, planning item No. 1. Mr. Brixius explained that past discussions indicated that a concern of the Planning and Zoning Board and the City Council was that MUSA would be taken from landowners and these landowners would relinquish their development opportunities. Mr. Gary Uhde, representing G. M. Development, developer of Behm's Century Farms and Mr. John Uban presented the plans for the proposed plat. Mr. Uhde said that he was please to be before the City Council. He noted that this process has been a long and arduous task. He explained that there has been a lot of discussion, input and negotiation and hopefully the plan that he will present tonight will get approval on the rezone request. Mr. Uhde noted some of the concerns about the proposal: - concern about the preliminary plat and how it was laid out. - density school capacity MUSA trade verses MUSA expansion sensitivity to adjacent properties a. density concerns b. rural image c. Airpark impact d. other developable lands drainage traffic impact - wetland impact Comprehensive Land Use Plan amendment and rezone findings Mr. Uhde explained that the work and time spent on this proposal far exceeded what is normally expected for approval of a rezone request. However, since these questions were raised, he felt it was necessary to do the research so that all the answers would be provided prior to action on the rezone request. Mr. Uban explained that he looked at the overall City to determine what the growth patterns have been. He presented a colored map and explained areas of growth and noted that Behm's Century Farms is located within the expansion area. Mr. Uban explained that all utilities needed to serve this plat will be extended by the developer and will be paid for by the developer. There will be additional capacity in the utility systems to allow for service to adjacent properties when the need arises and to the Correctional Facility for their expansion. Mr. Uban displayed a second map depicting the I35W/Lake Drive intersection and development areas with density noted on each 1 1 1 43 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 area. He explained that the overall density for the entire plat of Behm's Century Farms is 135 units or 1.8 units per acre. This is about one-half of what is allowed in a R-1 zone. The density in the northern and western portion of the plat has been reduced so it will work in well with existing density. Mr. Uban explained that the plat is located next to a variety of different uses and will support the commercial part of the community around the I35W/Lake Drive intersection. Mr. Uban discussed phasing of the plat and noted that the changes in the plat include reducing the number of lots, reducing the impact to wetlands and reduces the density. The Airpark safety zone will remain open and clear. The density on the western side of the plat was reduced. Road patterns and lot patterns were changed to further reduce impact to the wetlands. An overall phasing plan starts where the land is already zoned R-1 and where utilities are the closest. There will be six (6) phases. Each phase is planned for a designated year starting in 1995 and ending in the year 2002. There will be 20 or less lots developed per year. This will provide for an orderly pattern of development. Mr. Uhde explained this plan will not require a PDO and meets the requirement for a R-1 development and therefore will not require any variances to lot sizes or lot width. There were concerns regarding wetland impact and restoration. The original plan which was based on septic systems and wells would have required 6.4 acres of wetland fill. The original concept plan with sewered lots contained more than 200 lots. If a PDO had been requested on this proposal, 2.19 acres of fill would have been required along with about 1.5 acres of mitigation. The second concept reduced the amount of fill to just under two (2) acres and about 1.49 acres of wetland mitigation. The third concept plan showed 153 lots with 3.24 acres of wetland fill and three (3) acres of wetland mitigation. The final and fourth concept has 135 lots with ,1.9 acres of wetland fill. There will also be four (4) acres of wetland mitigation. There will be more flood storage than required. The excess will be between one and one-half and two (2) times the flood storage capacity. The drainage in the area will be enhanced because the water will be controlled and channeled. The Airpark impact concerns have been considered. Mr. Uhde noted that he has met with these residents several times and the meetings are ongoing. A clear zone at the west end of the runway has been created by eliminating six (6) lots. There will be disclosures noted from the beginning on the plats and on all collateral documents. Agents selling the lots will be instructed PAGE 9 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 and checked to see that they are disclosing to all potential buyers that the Airpark is there, that this is a rural area and people raise certain farm animals and will continue to do this. There will be restrictive covenants to make sure that future buyers will be aware of the Airpark does exist and this is a rural area. The Airpark and the City will receive copies of these signed disclosure documents. The prospective buyer will be required to sign the disclosure documents at the time they sign a purchase agreement and at the time they close on their home. Mr. Uhde explained that the Airpark residents are a part of the development process and will continue to be a part of the process until the development is complete and the last home is built. Mr. Uhde said that he believes that he has their support and will work to keep that support until the development is completed. Mr. Uhde said that all utility extensions will be paid for by the developer. The existing property owners will not be charged until they petition to connect to the utility. The development costs will be paid by the developer. Traffic was another concern • of the residents. Mr. John Powell, consulting engineer for the City met with the Anoka County Highway Engineer and determined that there would not be an impact on the current street structures other than to require some turn lanes. The cost of the turn lanes would also be paid by the developer. During peak hours, 150 additional cars would be coming onto two (2) streets and five (5) different intersections going in four (4) different directions. This will not significantly impact the current road system. Mr. Uhde referred to MUSA and said he prefers to do a trade, but since there is a concern on the part of the Planning and Zoning Board and the City Council will work with the City and the Metropolitan Council to obtain additional MUSA designation. Mr. Uhde also noted that the plat will generate approximately $16,000,000.00 of additional tax base. An annual tax of about $300,000.00 will be realized by the City. Par% fees in excess of $70,000.00 will be generated by the plat, as well as over $310,000.00 in permit fees. Other items of benefit include utilization of a precious commodity, developable land, extending sewer and water trunk lines at no cost to the City or the residents, enhance drainage, enhance wetlands, and provide housing and workers for the commercial and industrial development. The design will enhance and protect the rural character. Mr. Uhde said that he intends to use this as a selling feature. Mr. Uhde presented conclusions and plan amendment findings that were required by Mr. Brixius so that the rezoning request could PAGE 10 1 1 1 1 1 1 4 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 be acted upon: 1. The proposal conforms to that last two (2) Comprehensive Land Use Plans and the area is designated as Rural Expansion. 2. Existing land use is low density residential as is the proposed plat. 3. The proposed concept plan meets all of the current R-1 zone design and performance standards of lot area and size above the above the flood plain. The average lot size is over 24,000 square feet, with minimum lot size over 10,800 square feet. 4. The proposal may be accommodated by existing municipal services and not over burden city service capacity. The existing sewer and water main have adequate capacity and depth to serve this project. The developer will bear cost of utilities to the proposed plat. 5. The proposal does provide fiscal benefit to the City as outlined earlier. The 135 new homes will generate additional building permit fees, park dedication, property taxes and new residents. New residents are the life blood of a growing community. The extension of utility services will allow existing residents to connect when they choose. 6. Traffic generated by the plat is within the capacity of the streets serving the plat according to the County Highway Traffic Engineer. The Anoka County Highway Traffic Engineer has indicated that there are no plans to upgrade Lilac Street or Sunset Avenue within the next 10 to 15 years. The plat will generate 150 peak hour trips upon full development. The County may require turn lanes and if so the developer will construct them at his own cost. Mr. Uhde said he feels that he has met all of the requirements outlined by the City staff that are necessary for a rezone approval. Council Member Bergeson referred to the planned extension of Thomas Street and another new street and noted that they do go relatively close to existing houses. He asked if the right-of- way for these two (2) streets has been planned for a long time. Mr. Uhde explained that these two (2) streets were platted with the original plat in about 1976. Mayor Reinert asked how many surface water acres will be platted? PAGE 11 46 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 Mr. Uhde said that there is a significant amount of storm water holding areas. Mr. Uhde said he has committed to more storm water holding capacity than is needed. He noted that there is a drainage concern in the area and feels that it is better to over engineer the capacity so that it will benefit the entire area. Mayor Reinert referred to mitigation of wetlands and asked if it is correct that there will be an additional four (4) acres of wetland mitigation? Mr. Uhde said yes, there will be a little over one (1) acre of wetland fill and four (4) acres of wetland mitigation which is well above what is required. He also noted that Rice Creek Watershed District has reviewed his previous plat concept and were supportive and he is confident that the Board would like the current plat more than the first one they saw. Council Member Bergeson asked if part of the proposed plat is zoned R-1 currently. Mr. Uhde said yes, noting it is the southern half of the Carl Behm farm. Mr. Brixius explained that the developer is requesting the balance of Behm's Century Farms be rezoned to R-1 and for the entire plat to be included in the comprehensive plan amendment which would bring this area into the MUSA for development. Council Member Elliott moved to approve the FIRST READING of Ordinance No. 15 - 94 rezoning Behm's Century Farms and the request to be included in the comprehensive plan amendment subject to the 11 conditions outlined in Mr. Brixius staff memorandum dated August 5, 1994. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of Minor Subdivision for Ida Houle, 7834 - 20th Avenue - Mrs. Houle is requesting a minor subdivision to allow a one (1) acre parcel of property to be split from the balance of her 60 acre parcel. Mrs. Houle will remain in the existing farm house and sell the balance of the parcel to a buyer who intends to build a single family home and farm the 60 acres. The property is zoned Rural and is located on the east side of 20th Avenue and south of 80th Street. The new buyer would be restricted to 10 acre lot minimums should he/she decide to further subdivide the site. Staff has reviewed the request and recommend approval with the condition that a park dedication fee be collected when a home is constructed on the balance of the site. The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the request and recommended approval with the conditions outlined by staff. PAGE 12 4% COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 Council Member Kuether asked if the property was located in the MUSA area. Ms. Wyland said no. Council Member Kuether asked if a ghost plat would be required when an application for a building permit for the -new house was requested. Ms. Wyland explained that the City Code did require that a ghost plat be submitted with the building permit. Council Member Kuether moved to approve the minor subdivision for Ida Houle. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit for Westlund, Bodeka, Hoppe, Forsham Lake Drive for Reduction of Berm - Three (3) property owners on the north side of Forsham Lake Drive are requesting that the berm along their rear property line be reduced. Initially the berm was installed as part of the Shores of Marshan development and contains some buried debris from the former Forjay operation. Disclosure of this buried debris was provided to the property owners at the time of purchase. The request is to reduce the size of the berm by approximately two (2) feet which will enhance the useability of the applicants rear yards. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential and a public hearing was conducted at the August 10, 1994 Planning and Zoning Board meeting after property notification and publication. Engineering consultant John Powell has reviewed the request as it relates to the overall grading of the plat and the specific properties to be regraded. The three (3) lots immediately west of the subject lots are currently owned by the developer of the Shores of Marshan. He has been contacted regarding any interest in participating in the moving of the berm but indicated no interest at this time. The staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit subject to the following conditions: 1. Grading activity must leave sufficient topsoil cover over the buried debris to support turf establishment. 2. Grading activity is to be contained to that area lying south of the north property lines of the affected lots and matching the existing grade two (2) feet from the property line as indicated on the drawing. 3. Existing drainage routes must be maintained. Sufficient berming must remain such that drainage from the church site is not directed to the south and into the backyards of these lots. PAGE 13 46 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 4. Erosion control, consisting of silt fencing, hay bales, etc. will be required until turf is established. 5. Regrading must be gradually blended into the undisturbed berms lying east and west of the proposed regrading area. 6. Existing trees be replaced on the berm. The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed this request and recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit with the conditions outlined by the staff. Council Member Kuether asked who would make sure that the existing drainage is maintained. Ms. Wyland said that the City Engineer would oversee the project. Council Member Elliott moved to approve the Conditional Use Permit subject to the six (6) conditions outlined by staff. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit for Al Robinson, 401 Main Street - Mr. Robinson has requested a Conditional Use Permit to deposit approximately 50,000 cubic yards of "topsoil" 20 to 25 feet in depth to be used as coverage for a five (5) acre area. The material will be stored temporarily (up to three (3) years) and used as top soil for the existing landscaping business both for resale and re -use on the existing sod fields. The material will be coming from the Main Street reconstruction project. The applicant intends to provide hay bales and silt fence as necessary and seed/mulch the slopes. The property is zoned Rural and according to the Zoning Ordinance, reclamation shall be permitted by conditional use permit in all districts. Depositing a total of more than 50 cubic yards of material per acre, either by hauling in or regrading the area, shall constitute land reclamation. Notification has been made in the official newspaper and property owners within 350 feet of the site have been notified by mail. The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing on the request August 10, 1994. At this meeting, the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit with the following conditions: 1. A wetland delineation of the site be prepared. 2. Correspondence from the Rice Creek Watershed District indicating whether or not a permit is required from them. PAGE 14 1 1 1 4 9 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 3. A grading and drainage plan be submitted outlining areas to be covered and amount of materials to be distributed. 4. Proper erosion control of site and stockpile as determined by the City Engineer. 5. Seeding and mulching as recommended by the City Engineer immediately following final grading. 6. MPCA permit be obtained if necessary (on a site smaller than five (5) acres in size, no permit is required). 7. A bond or letter of credit in an amount determined by the City Engineer. 8. Material to be stockpiled shall be removed by October 31, 1997. 9. Letter indicating hours of operation (hauling and grading). The City has received a letter from the Rice Creek Watershed District indicating that a permit will not be required for the stockpiling of spoils in the area indicated on the sketch plan. However, spreading of the spoils will require additional review. A grading plan containing wetland delineation has also been submitted and appears acceptable. Council Member Bergeson noted that another application for land reclamation had been submitted. Ms. Wyland explained that request had been withdrawn. Council Member Bergeson moved to approve the request for a Conditional Use Permit contingent upon the nine (9) conditions recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board and outlined above. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. SECOND READING, Ordinance No. 14 - 94 Rezoning Trapper's Crossing to Planned Development Overlay (PDO) - Mr. Brixius explained that at the August 8, 1994 City Council meeting, the City Council moved to approve the FIRST READING of Ordinance No. 14 - 94 rezoning Trapper's Crossing and approved the preliminary plat. Mr. Brixius said he wanted to respond to several items mentioned at Open Mike this evening to make the City Council aware of the process that this plat has gone through to this point and maybe dispel a number of concerns that may exist. The plat consists of a plat that was submitted March 13, 1994 with 127 lots and a PDO request over the R -1X zoning. Some lots were as narrow as 80 PAGE 15 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 feet in width, there was a street stubbed to the Walseth property. The staff review and Planning and Zoning Board review in April indicated that this plat was unacceptable. Staff recommended elimination of a number of lots to reduce the density and bring the PDO up to a standard which consists of interior lot widths of 85 feet, and meeting R -1X area standards. Where wetlands were being imposed some flexibility on lot size would be acceptable providing the lots had at least a R-1 standard of 10,800 square feet. The standard for a corner lot is 105 feet in width. Mr. Brixius said he did suggest to the developer that he request a PDO however, the suggestion was not open blank check to pursue flexibility. Performance standards established included lot widths of at least 85 feet based on what is necessary to accommodate a R -1X house. In response to staff suggestions, a preliminary plat dated May 5, 1994 was submitted to staff which included some alterations in the wetlands delineations. In additions some changes occurred in the northern portion of the plat (north of Holly Drive). The access into the Walseth property was eliminated due to an expressed concern of Ms. Walseth. The lots were increased in size and there were considerations of some different street configurations but major changes were not made. Generally the street design follows the same configuration as shown on the March submission, only the lot sizes and lot configurations have changed slightly to reduce density and meet the performance standards set by staff. The Planning and Zoning Board considered the PDO request and preliminary plat in April and May and recommended against the PDO and requested that a R -1X plat be submitted. In May a R -1X concept was submitted showing 104 lots and again the Planning and Zoning Board said that they did not want to consider a PDO zoning. At the August, 1994 Planning and Zoning Board meeting, the applicant submitted a drawing for the City Council to review. The intention of the applicant was to submit a plan that was recommended by staff after the May, 1994 Planning and Zoning Board meeting. The plan (submission) was received on August 1, 1994 and shows that the northern portion (north of Holly Drive) is identical to what was submitted in the May, 1994 Planning and Zoning Board meeting. Everything south of Holly Drive is identical to what was submitted to the Planning and Zoning Board at the March, 1994 Planning and Zoning Board meeting. The Planning and Zoning Board has seen this design at previous meetings. At no time was the plat submitted at the April, 1994 Planning and Zoning satisfactory. PAGE 16 1 1 1 1 1 5I COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 In preparing for the August 8, 1994 City Council meeting, staff indicated to the developer just what was necessary to meet staff requirements including the elimination of a number of lots. There was no recommendation to change the street configuration, only to decrease the number of lots to increase the lot areas in certain blocks and lot widths to meet City standards. Since the last City Council meeting additional revisions have been made to the preliminary plat. Mr. Brixius outlined each revision and noted each lot that would fall below the R -1X standard but would meet the R-1 standard. He noted the lots that fall below the R -1X area standards and are not impacted by wetlands will be required to meet R -1X area standards. Mr. Brixius noted that of the 115 lots proposed, approximately 32 are requesting some type of flexibility with regard to either lot width or lot area. The applicant has submitted a R -1X concept plan showing 104 lots but is requesting that the City Council consider a PDO concept plan showing 115 lots. At the last Council meeting, the Council voted to approve the PDO concept contingent upon a number of conditions including a landscape plan for the perimeter of the subdivision in an attempt to,respond to neighborhood concerns of trespassing as well as a number of other features. Council Member Bergeson asked what the number of lots were in the original PDO request. Mr. Brixius said 127. Council Member Elliott noted that when Behm's Century Farms was discussed earlier this evening, Mr. Uhde explained how disclosures were to be handled to insure the rural nature of the surrounding properties. Mrs. Walseth has expressed concern that her new neighbors would object to her hobby farm. Council Member Elliott asked if it would be appropriate to require the same disclosure procedures for this subdivision. Mr. Brixius said that this would be an appropriate inclusion as part of the PDO. This insures that the new lots will be marketed in a fashion that the new residents will be aware of what is located next to them and that there will be adjoining properties that will continue to function as a rural use. Council Member Neal asked if a schedule of the phasing of lots could be included in the PDO. Mr. Brixius said that it is planned to develop the subdivision in three (3) phases and he has told the developer that a phasing plan will be required. Council Member Bergeson noted that the 127 PDO plat proposal went before the Planning and Zoning Board in April, however the 115 PDO arrangement did not go before the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. Brixius explained that the 115 PDO represents the May PAGE 17 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 submission and the applicants attempt to respond to the staff recommendation. In both cases the Planning and Zoning Board recommended denial of the PDO and requested that the developer submit a R -1X preliminary plat. Mayor Reinert asked about Lot 11, Block 3 and Lot 7, Block 4 which fall below 12,000 square feet as does Lot 5, Block 5 and Lot 13, Block 5. He asked which lot had to be re -adjusted. Mr. Brixius said Lot 3, Block 3. The only area where staff is recommending flexibility are areas impacted by wetlands and lot width. Mayor Reinert said he would also like to see a plan for phasing the development of the lots. This should help to level development and get rid of the peaks and valleys in home building. Mr. Kirk Corson representing Hokanson Development responded to the concern about phasing the project. He explained that because the lots are going to be more expensive, he anticipated that the lots will not sell fast. Mr. Corson said that it would be in the best interest to Hokanson Development to build the development in phases possibly even four (4) phases. He noted that the area north of Holly Drive will be the first phase and the area south of Holly Drive will be divided into at least two (2) and possibly three (3) phases. Mayor Reinert asked Mr. Corson if it would be possible to prepare a phased development plan similar to Mr. Uhde's plan. This can be made a part of the developer's agreement. Mr. Corson said that would be no problem. Council Member Elliott moved to adopt the SECOND READING of Ordinance No. 14 - 94, Rezoning Trapper's Crossing to a PDO. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Council Member Bergeson noted that the Planning and Zoning Board never reviewed the plat with 115 lots. He noted that the plat started with 127 lots and this number was reduced by staff asking for changes which resulted in 115 lots. Normally in a case such as this, the revised plat would have gone back to the Planning and Zoning Board for a review of the revised plat. However, because of the time constraint in the law, the revised plat did not go back to the Planning and Zoning Board. Because of the time constraints, the City Council had been asked to consider the revised plat without a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Board. The City Council must now make a decision on the revised plat based on staff input only and the City Council can only do the best based on what is before them. Council Member Bergeson noted that earlier the City Council was criticized for moving forward with the revised plat, however, there was no choice because the law required action by the City Council at that time. The City PAGE 18 • 1 1 1 1 1 1 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 Council had to decide what was the best way to handle the matter. Council Member Bergeson said he feels that 115 lots is not an unreasonable amount of lots. There is not going to be any noticeable difference in traffic or anything else whether there are 104 or 115 lots. He also said that by the time the final plat comes before the City Council, it may contain less than 115 lots. Council Member Bergeson explained that the August 8, 1994 vote by the Council was done in a hurry but everyone was aware what they were voting for but did not do a lot of explaining about how and why they voted the way they did. Mayor Reinert explained that he voted against the PDO at the August 8, 1994 meeting after he had indicated that he was in favor of the PDO. He felt the time constraint was an issue and had requested the developer to waive the time constraints. However, this did not happen. Mayor Reinert saidthe second reason he voted against the PDO was because the R -1X is the underlaying part of the PDO and there were some substandard lots and they needed to be reviewed. He said that now he is satisfied• that this concern has been addressed. This is only a preliminary plat that will be adjusted as necessary. Mayor Reinert explained that he has been very concerned about a leveling off effect of the number of new homes that are built on an annual basis. If this developer brings in the phasing plan, it gives the City a better opportunity to look at the number of homes that will impact the City in a given year. If that is adhered to, there will be a leveling effect in home construction and the community will benefit. Mayor Reinert said that the submission this evening addresses his concerns and he saw no reason to vote against it. Mr. Brixius noted that a motion and a second to the motion is on the floor and asked that the motion be amended to included the conditions of approval noted at the August 8, 1994 Council meeting and also include disclosure requirements, the phasing plan and the lot adjustments discussed this evening. Council Member Elliott and Council Member Kuether accepted the amendment. Council Member Neal asked if the reconstruction of Holly Drive is still a part of the approval. Mr. Brixius said yes, it is outlined in the August 8, 1994 conditions of approval. Council Member Bergeson noted that sometimes the term "substandard" creeps into the discussion and maybe that is not the correct term. In the PDO there are 73 lots that meet or exceed the R -1X standard and 32 lots which exceed the R-1 standard so technically some are substandard R -1X lots but most exceed the R-1 standard and in some cases by a significant amount. These are still good sized lots. PAGE 19 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously. Ordinance No. 14 - 94 can be found at the end of these minutes. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT, DARRELL SCHNEIDER Consideration of Resolution No. 94 - 57 Approving Bids for the Hodgson Road Watermain Improvement Project, John Powell - Mr. Powell explained that at the July 25, 1994 Council meeting, the Council adopted a resolution approving plans and specifications for the Hodgson Road Watermain Improvement and ordered bids to be received this morning at 10:00 A.M. The specifications state that bids would be considered at this meeting. At this time there is no specific recommendation. Mr. Powell requested that the City Council receive the bids. Council Member Elliott moved to accept thebids for the Hodgson Road Watermain Improvement. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of Resolution No. 94 - 67 Authorizing Preparation of a Feasibility Report, Ross Extension on Ware Road - Mr. Schneider explained that a petition requesting water and sanitary sewer service has been submitted to the City by Mr. Al Ross, 6356 Ware Road. Mr. Ross has an immediate need for water service due to a failing well and is also requesting that sewer service be extended to serve his property. Both sanitary sewer and water service have been extended to within 100 feet of Mr. Ross' property as part of a previous improvement project. To determine the most efficient way to serve the Ross property, and those areas immediately around it, a feasibility report should be prepared. Mr. Powell has already done some work on preparing costs and looked at some alternatives for providing water service to Mr. Ross. Mr. Schneider gave a brief background on utility service on Ware Road. In 1991 a feasibility report was ordered for the entire area beginning at Hawthorn Road south to about 62nd Street. A petition for the feasibility report was signed by 80% of the residents in that area. However, when the costs were made available at the public hearing, the project lost its support. Since then there has been support for small sewer and water extension projects in the area. Mr. Schneider explained that at this time the minimum project he would recommend is connecting the eight (8) inch watermain stubs on Hawthorn Road and on one of the lots in Pine Ridge along with PAGE 20 1 1 1 1 1 1 C t COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 an extension of a sewer line so that there is sewer service in front of the lots all the way to Hawthorn Road. The estimated cost of this improvement on a very preliminary basis is $50,000.00. Mr. Ross would bear about $10,000.00 in costs. Sewer service would be made available to the property owners on the west side of Ware Road. This raises the concern that if any of the lots on the west side of Ware Road were to be sold, many financial institutions would ask if sewer and water utilities are available. The answer to that question would be yes and the financial institutions may require the property being sold to connect. At this time the residents on the west side of Ware Road may not be aware that such a project is being considered. The cost of the feasibility report would be $1,000.00. The report can be completed in about two (2) weeks. It would not be complete but would provide enough information to discuss the improvement at a public hearing. Council Member Neal asked when the services would be available. Mr. Schneider said that it is possible to get the work completed yet this fall but would require a very tight schedule. He asked for the City Council to consider not providing utility service on a lot by lot basis. He asked that there be a more comprehensive approach to providing utility services at a minimum of a quarter of mile. Council Member Neal asked if Mr. Schneider was considering providing water and sewer service at one time. Mr. Schneider said yes although the services would be placed in separate trenches, the area would be disturbed only once. Council Member Kuether asked if the City Council can legally order the feasibility report? Mr. Schneider explained that according to the City Charter only 25% of the affected property owners need to sign a petition for a feasibility report. The City Council can request a feasibility report with at least a four-fifths vote. Mr. Hawkins explained that 51% of the landowners can petition to stop an improvement project but the City Council can initiate a project. Council Member Kuether asked if the landowners on the west side of Ware Road would be made aware of the proposed improvement project. Mr. Schneider said he was not sure if this was required however he suggested that they be included in the feasibility report and notified of the public hearing. Mr. Schneider explained that the feasibility report that will come before the City Council will be rather "sketchy". It will draw information from the report prepared in 1991. This will PAGE 21 56 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 make the report less expensive and if for some reason this proposed improvement does not get completed, all of this information will be available in the future. Council Member Bergeson asked if the $1,000.00 cost for preparation of the feasibility report will be charged back to the people requesting the services. Mr. Schneider explained that there is no provision for doing this. Council Member Kuether explained that more than a $1,000.00 was spent in 1991 for that report and then 80% of the residents petitioned out of the project including Mr. Ross. Council Member Neal asked when the project will be started. Mr. Schneider explained that the report will be brought to the September 12, 1994 City Council meeting and if the project makes sense, the City Council can order plans and specifications and set the public hearing at the same time so that bids could be available at the public hearing. Council Member Neal said he felt that since the water service is so close, it will take a long time to get anything accomplished. Mr. Schneider explained that to just connect Mr. Ross' house requires extending the line about 150 feet. However, there are many other things to be considered during the construction. Council Member Bergeson asked if it would be possible to set the public hearing at this time and then if it is not needed cancel it at that time. Mr. Hawkins said a date can be set now if Mr. Schneider is willing to tell the City Council now that the project is feasible. Council Member Elliott moved to approve Resolution No. 94 - 67 Ordering the Preparation of a Feasibility Report for the Ware Road Utility Improvements. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried with Council Member Kuether voting no. Resolution No. 94 - 67 can be found at the end of these minutes. Council Member Bergeson asked if Mr. Schneider was comfortable with this time table. Mr. Schneider said the process will take some time and if we have an early winter, construction may have to wait until spring. Council Member Bergeson said he would suggest setting the public hearing tonight. Mr. Hawkins said that this is frequently done, however, the report must be present at the public hearing. Mr. Schneider reported to the City Council that the project is feasible and the feasibility report will be brought to the City Council at the September 12, 1994 meeting. He suggested setting the public hearing tonight. Council Member Bergeson suggested that a public hearing be set at the end of this Council meeting. PAGE 22 1 1 1 1 1 5r COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 CONSIDERATION OF HIRING A SOLID WASTE COORDINATOR, DON VOLK Mr. Volk asked for Council consideration to hire a Solid Waste Coordinator. He explained that the position was held by Fran Kurk until her resignation. Advertisements were placed in the three (3) local newspaper and also advertised verbally at the Anoka County Solid Waste Advisory Committee meetings. Applicants were accepted, review and three (3) candidates were interviewed. Jackie Constant is the candidate that is best qualified for the position. Ms. Constant has been employed in the waste abatement field for the past six (6) years. Her present employer is one of the two (2) largest metro area private waste abatement companies. Ms. Constant is a resident of Lino Lakes. Mr. Volk said he felt that Ms. Constant is the major reason that the City of Lexington agreed to enter into a contract with Lino Lakes for Solid Waste Coordinator services. The position is a permanent part-time position of about 30 hours per week. Up to 15 of these hours will be spent in the City of Lexington. Mr. Volk recommend that the City Council hire Jackie Constant as the Solid Waste Coordinator. Mayor Reinert asked Mr. Volk to invite Ms. Constant to a Council meeting and introduce her. Council Member Bergeson moved to hire Jackie Constant as the Lino Lakes Solid Waste Coordinator. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF APPROVING RESOLUTIONS DECLARING COSTS TO BE ASSESSED AND ORDERING PREPARATION OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENTS Eight (8) improvement projects in the City have progressed to the point where assessment rolls can be prepared. 'Costs for each improvement have been calculated by the consulting engineer and resolutions have been prepared ordering preparation of the assessment rolls.

Motion carried unanimously. Council Member Elliott noted that the public hearing for the above improvement projects was set for September 26, 1994, 6:45 P.M. OLD BUSINESS There was no Old Business. NEW BUSINESS Consideration of an Application for a Block Party, Lonesome Pine Trail - Mrs. Anderson explained that the application for this PAGE 25 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 block party is proposing to block a portion of a through street. The blocking of through streets was discussed at the August 17, 1994 Council work session and the City Engineer was directed to get information from the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) regarding liability in the event that someone was injured on the street during the block party. Mr. Schneider explained that a letter has been received from the loss control attorney at LMCIT stating that it is clear that a City can close a portion of a street for recreational purposes. The letter also states that there is potential liability for the City anytime such an event occurs. The City has to exercise reasonable care to protect both the people who are using the closed off street and the people using the street which leads to the closed off portion. It is important that the City provide adequate barricades to insure the safety of everyone. The letter further states that the City should provide adequate instructions for placing the barricades and monitor the people so that it is done properly. The City may consider having an employee or a Police Reserve member on the scene. If the site of the party is a through street, the City should provide an alternate route for through traffic during the block party. This route should be well marked and this may be a particular issue of the through street is part if an emergency vehicle route. The letter continues by stating that there may also be potential liability if there are any defects in the surface of the street. It is important to inspect the street before granting the permit. If there are any defects, the City should make repairs, place a warning device at the defect or ask the party requesting the permit agree to take on the liability. Although block parties are a good way for bringing a community together. However, anytime the right-of-way is used for that purpose, there may be potential liability for the City. The letter writer suggests investigating any such request to limit the City's liability. Enclosed with the letter were documents that other cities have used to limit the liability during block parties. Mr. Schneider said that the basic suggestion of the LMCIT is that the City be more formal in providing barricades. It will be difficult to place barricades after normal business hours. Therefore, an employee would be called in on an overtime basis to set up the barricades and there would be a cost for doing this. In addition, the forms included with the LMCIT letter require that someone sign off on the liability. Mayor Reinert explained that in the past the City required such a signature. However, PAGE 26 1 1 1 1 1 1 61 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 nobody would accept the liability and the City changed its policy. He felt that something as suggested must be established including the cost. Council Member Kuether noted that there are some model homes in the area and they will affected if the street is closed. Mrs. Anderson explained that there was one model home but the street in front of that home would not be closed. Mr. Schneider recommended that a minimum charge of $100.00 be set and have a City employee set up the barricades. The key element is that there is supervision and the City is responsible for setting up the barricades. Council Member Kuether suggested that a Police Officer check to see that the barricades are properly installed. Mayor Reinert said that it is obvious that the City needs a policy on this matter. The City does not want to discourage block parties since it is a good method for new neighbors to get acquainted with one another. Mayor Reinert asked that the applicant for this block party be contacted and these concerns be conveyed to them. The City is not in a position to pass on costs at this time. Mr. Hawkins suggested that if the policy is to be changed, it should be done at this meeting. Mr. Schneider recommended that there be a sign off on liability. Mr. Hawkins said that will be a problem because no one person would want to accept liability for the entire party and this would discourage people from having block parties. Council Member Kuether suggested that all persons attending the block party sign the waiver. Mr. Schneider explained that by refusing to sign the form, they are refusing to accept any liability. Council Member Bergeson agreed that the policy should be changed and maybe a fee should be charged. However, this applicant applied under current policy and felt that the -City Council should approve this application as they have all other requests this summer. He then suggested that this matter be put on a future agenda. Council Member Bergeson moved to approve the block party with the requirement that proper barricades be installed. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Council Member Bergeson moved to instruct staff to bring recommendations on changing the block party requirements including possibly a fee to the next Council work session. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. PAGE 27 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 Council Member Elliott noted that the period for block parties is coming to a close and with all the other matters that staff must deal with such as budgeting and the Vision 20/20 program, suggested that consideration of changing the block party requirements be delayed until staff has more time in the winter. Council Member Bergeson amended his motion to bring the matter back to City Council no later than March 1, 1995. Council Member Neal agreed with this amendment. Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously. Consideration of a Beer License, Cabaret License and Special Event Application for the Circle/Lex Lions Club for Sandbur Days - Mrs. Anderson noted that Sandbur Days will be held the weekend of September 10th and llth at Sunrise Park. This annual event requires several licenses and/or permits. The beer license application is complete and a certificate of insurance naming the City as additional insured has been received. The cabaret license is also complete. The -applicant has been working with the Police Department, Fire Department and Parks Department to coordinate this event. A food license is required by Anoka County and will be issued and posted. A map showing the layout of the event has also been received. During this same weekend Waldoch's Sports will be conducting their annual snow mobile race on grass, Gethsemane Methodist Church will be holding their annual booya and the Men's Club at St. Joseph Catholic Church will be conducting their annual auction. Police Chief Pecchia states that there will be additional Police Officers working that weekend. Council Member Neal moved to approve the beer license, cabaret license and the special events permit. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. RESCHEDULE Ways and Means Committee Meeting, August 31, 1994, 5:00 P.M. - This is for informational purposes only. Correctional Facility Report - Council Member Neal explained that he recently attended a Correctional Facility meeting regarding expansion of facilities within the state. Previously, it was thought that the State Hospital at Cambridge, Minnesota would be converted to prison use. It has now been decided to build a new facility at that location. The facility will be about the size as the facility in St. Cloud. Consideration of Disbursements, August 22, 1994 - Council Member PAGE 28 1 1 1 1 1 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 Kuether referred to page seven (7) of the Disbursements and asked if the new furniture recently purchased by the Police Department is in their budget. Mr. Tesch explained that the furniture consisted of some new chairs. He will check to see if this purchase was budgeted. Council Member Kuether noted that a new windshield was purchased for a squad car. She asked if this was covered by insurance. Mr. Tesch explained that the amount shown on the Disbursements is the deductible and it was for replacement of the CSO vehicle windshield. He will determine the exact amount of deductible for window replacement. Council Member Kuether noted a disbursement to St. Joseph Equipment for rental of equipment. Mr. Schneider explained that the City rents a -large backhoe during the overlay construction period. It is used to remove poor base soils and put in new soils. Council Member Elliott moved to approve the Disbursements as presented. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Set Public Hearing for Ware Road Improvement, Resolution No. 94 - 68 - Council Member Elliott moved to adopt Resolution No. 94 - 68 Setting the Public Hearing for the Ware Road Improvement for September 26, 1994, 7:00 P.M. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Bald Eagle Lake Ice Fishing Resolution - Council Member Kuether noted that the meeting regarding the issues caused by ice fishing on Bald Eagle Lake is later this week. Since she has not received any comments or suggestions from the City Council or the public, she suggested that she go along with setting a public hearing on the matter. This appeared to be the consensus of the City Council. Council Member Elliott moved to adjourn at 8:58 P.M. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
