Eight (8) licensees tendered applications for the renewal process. In comparison to past years, the City Clerk's office took the initiative to simplify the application process. By condensing the information and making other adjustments on the application, 1-1/2 hours was eliminated from the processing time. The expected time to complete the past application process was approximately two (2) hours. Several liquor licensees noted the new liquor license renewal process was warranted and welcomed.

Unfortunately, without the 49 Club's information, the City Clerk's office is unable to determine the status of the establishment. Therefore, City Clerk's Office recommended the 49 Club be removed from Council's consideration until appropriate information is submitted from the establishment. The Administration Director expressed concern regarding the pending aspect of some of the establishments. He suggested this item wait until the next Council meeting. Staff advised the Police Department has been notified and they have no concerns regarding the establishments. Council Member Reinert inquired about the City notifying the 49 Club regarding their application. Staff advised they have contacted the applicants several times. All the applicants excluding the 49 4 • COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 22, 2000 Club have responded in a timely manner. The 49 Club is in the process of an ownership change that may have caused the delay. Mayor Bergeson advised there have been two (2) establishments that are allegedly in violation of liquor laws. He inquired about the allegations in regard to the applications. The City Attorney advised the allegations could be a basis for non -renewal of the liquor license. However, the approval is subject to review and the Council has the right to bring the application back and take action to deny or to penalize the establishments after a proper public hearing. Council Member O'Donnell inquired about the new fee schedule and if it will apply to these applications. Staff advised the new fees will effect the July 1, 2001 liquor renewal process.

Staff recommended approval of Resolution No. 2000 — 39 as presented. Council Member Reinert suggested the on -sale liquor license fee be increased incrementally at $500 per year so it is not an immediate increase to the liquor establishments. Mayor Bergeson advised the motion can be made to include an incremental fee or the fee schedule can be approved excluding the on -sale liquor license fee. COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 22, 2000 Council Member Reinert moved to approve Resolution No. 00 — 61, amending the on -sale liquor license fee to be incremental over a three -(3) year period at $500 per year. Council Member Dahl seconded the motion. Council Member Dahl asked for clarification regarding the first year's fee. Council Member Reinert stated he is proposing that the fee begin at $3,000 and increase $500 per year over a three (3) year period.

The roadway is currently unused and inaccessible from the east. The City has determined that the road right-of-way is not needed for public purposes, however, the City will need to retain a drainage and utility easement over the vacated right-of-way.

Variance for Carl Johnson, 310 Carl Street (3/5 Vote Required), Mary Kay Wyland — Staff advised this case involves a request for a Variance from the City's Zoning Ordinance, Section 3, Subd. 4.D. Accessory Buildings and Structures, 1. General Provision. c. No detached accessory structure shall be closer to the front lot line then the principal building or its attached garage. Mr. Carl Johnson is the owner of Lot 11, Block 1, Lino AirPark North, and has been since October of 1996. The property is Zoned Rural, and is approximately 1.4 acres in size. When Mr. Johnson purchased this lot, the City's Zoning Ordinance did not contain the provision outlined above and, in fact, allowed accessory buildings and structures anywhere on the lot provided required setbacks were COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 22, 2000 maintained. Special provisions allowed AirPark lots 3200 square foot hangers. The section of the ordinance referenced above was added to the Zoning Ordinance when it was amended in July of 1997. • Mr. Johnson is, therefore, asking for a Variance from this section of the ordinance to allow construction of a hanger in front of the principal building. A review of the file on the Lino AirPark North reveals the following: • The Lino AirPark was originally platted in 1976, at that time, Carl Street did not extend past Lot 9 due to a large ditch. • • The Developer, Roger Kolstad, requested information concerning extending Carl Street to serve lots 10 —14 in July of 1993 at which time a development agreement was drafted by the City Engineer, Darrel Schneider. • The final Development contract for Lino AirPark North, Lots 10 —14, was signed and financial guarantees posted in May/June of 199 • A Rice Creek Watershed District permit w , d ° • approved in August of 1996, this permit provided ponding and flo ver Lots 10 —14 with specified areas for septic systems, hangers an o The development plan indicated all hangers on the runway side ts. • The roadway and pon. - completed in September of 1996. • On October 1 1 Johnson requested a revision to the ponding and flowage easements t The RCWD and the City Council approved this revision. Th ; la of Survey presented at that time showed the proposed dwelling on e of the lot and the hanger on the Carl Street side of the lot. There . • ssion, at that tie, concerning the hanger location as the Zoning Ordinan • address the location of accessory structures outside of setback restrictio a; nor did it prohibit accessory structures in front of the principal building. • On October 14, 1996, the City Council also discussed ponding and grading issues on the AirPark property that were completed without permission, or easements, from the AirPark Association. The Council ordered that no further building permits be issued for the Lino Air Park North until resolution of the easement situation (building permits were issued for Lots 13 & 14 September and October of 1996, therefore, the moratorium applied only to Lots 10, 11, & 12. On October 23, 1996, the City Engineer (Dave Ahrens) sent a memo to the Building Official advising him that no permits were to be issued for the Lino AirPark North until further notice. On April 23, 1998, the City Engineer notified the Building Official„ that permits could now be issued for the remaining lots. Mr. Johnson has submitted a letter outlining his reasons for the variance request. To summarize, he believes the moratorium on construction of his lot was beyond his control. He further states that, in • COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 22, 2000 his opinion, the runway is the predominant feature of the property and he would like his home oriented to the south toward the runway with the hanger adjacent to Carl Street. Mr. Johnson has also submitted a letter signed by the owners of Lots 9, 12, 13, 14 and from the Vice -President and Secretary of the AirPark Association indicating no objection to the variance request. There are 19 developed lots within the AirPark. Three (3) have hangers in front of the dwelling, one (1) has an attached hanger, eight (8) have hangers on the side or behind the principal building, and seven (7) have no hanger. In considering all requests for variance or appeal and in taking subsequent action, the City shall make a finding of fact: 1. That the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls. 2. That the plight of the landowners is due to physical circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner. 3. That the hardship is not due to economi reasonable use for the property exists under t e o "ordinance. one and when a 4.

That the pr ordinance. 1 be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Staff advised the curr-. , om rdinance prohibits the construction of an accessory building in front of the principal s a development plan for the lots in Lino AirPark North initially indicated that the hang ca''y on would be toward the runway. The unique nature of the drainage easement on the lot does of constitute a hardship because the home and accessory building could be constructed to meet the requirements of the Ordinance by location the hanger to the rear of the lot. Staff, therefore, is recommending denial of the requested variance. Staff noted the Planning and Zoning Board reviewed this item at their May 10, 2000, meeting and concurred with the staff recommendation of denial on a 5-0 vote (Corson and Lane being absent). Council Member Carlson advised the property was purchased in 1996 at the same time a moratorium was put on building. She stated the applicant did have approval from the Rice Creek Watershed. District. She reviewed the background of the City ordinance and clarified that the ordinance was passed during the moratorium. 9 COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 22, 2000 Council Member O'Donnell inquired about the three -(3) homes that do have hangers in the front. Staff advised the three (3) properties that have hangers in the front are part of another development project. This area has no hangers in the front. Mr. Carl Johnson, applicant for the variance, came forward and stated the City did not cause the problem. In the City's effort to resolve the problem a moratorium was placed on building on the properties. At the same time the grading plan was accepted. Placement for the buildings is key to the runway and exposure to the home. He gave the background of his property and the events that led to the variance request. He noted the hanger facing the runway will block the entire front of the house. A hanger on the east side would functionally work but cost much more. He added the neighbors are not opposed to his request but have asked that he soften the look of the hanger. Mr. Glen Martig, 376 Carl Street, Vice -President of the Air Park Association, came forward and stated the association has reviewed Mr. Johnson's plans and approved the plan. There are no objections from the neighbors. He stated there are three (3) other hangers in front on Carl Street. He requested Mr. Johnson be grandfathered in and granted the variance. Mayor Bergeson asked if the hanger could be closer to the street if advised that if the hanger were attached to the house it would b is another property that has an attached hanger, so in a sense ed to the house.

She asked if this is the only :__ a in the City that has this type of problem. Staff advised another area could be Surfside Sea Plane. Council Member Dahl advised Mr. Johnson has done everything he can and is supportive of his request. Council Member Reinert stated this area is unique to the City and is an amenity to the City. The ordinance is Citywide but this is a unique situation. Council Member Carlson stated the Planning and Zoning Board denied the request on a 5-0 vote. She stated the Council did receive additional information from Mr. Johnson that was not discussed at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting. She stated she was skeptical but Mr. Johnson has shown every intent to uphold the ordinance. The neighbors are not opposed and the AirPark Association has also approved. She stated she is in support of the request. 10 • • • COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 22, 2000 Council Member O'Donnell moved to amend the motion to include the structure on the Carl Street side will be softened with landscaping and possibly false shutters or windows. Council Member Carlson agreed to the amendment. Motion carried unanimously. Shirley Kay Project Extension (3/5 Vote Required), Jeff Smyser — Staff advised Shirley Kay's restaurant is located on Lake Drive near Hodgson Road. On October 11, 1999, the City Council approved a site and building plan and variances to allow a building addition to the rear of the building. Section 2, Subd. 5.E.2. of the Zoning Ordinance states: Activities authorized by site and building plan approval shall be initiated within six (6) months. If such activity is not completed within eighteen (18) months, the sit approval shall no longer be in effect, and application and approval of site and plans shall be required.

TJP Construction is er several revisions to the plans. The conditions ranted, the ordinance requires a new application Council Member Dahl inquired about allowing them a longer extension. Staff advised there is nothing to prevent the Council from granting a longer extension. Mayor Bergeson inquired about the reason for the delay. Staff advised the applicant needs more time to obtain financing for the project. The applicant is also looking at selling some of the parcel, which also may have caused a delay. Council Member Carlson inquired about the piece of property the applicant wants to sell and if it is part of the parking. Staff advised the piece of property in question is quite a distance from the parking area. The project will be built as approved by the City. 11 COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 22, 2000 Council Member Dahl moved to approve an extension of 90 days. This extends the project start day • to July 10, 2000, and the project completion date to July 10, 20001. Council Member Reinert seconded the motion. Mayor Bergeson advised he is in favor of the extension. The project is a nice improvement for the business and the City. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 00 — 62, Receive Bids, Apollo Drive Phase IV (3/5 Vote Required), John Powell — Staff advised sealed bids were received and publicly opened at 9:00 a.m. on Friday, May 19, 2000. The low bid in the amount of $183,117.50 was received from Dave Perkins Contracting, Inc. The bid is approximately 22% below the Engineer's Estimate. Staff referred to a copy of the complete bid tabulation. The funding for this work is provided by assessments to the benefiting properties.

Council Member O'Donnell seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 00 — 67, Initiating Process to Adopt Tower Moratorium (3/5 Vote Required), Jeff Smyser — Staff advised federal law requires that cities must not pass regulations that prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless services. As the City is on the "front lines" of urban growth in the metropolitan region, it is probable that the City will be receiving more tower applications in the foreseeable future. Staff believes it is a good idea to plan ahead rather than just react to numerous individual applications for new towers. Toward that end, staff is recommending that the City initiate a moratorium on new tower construction until a towers location study is completed. This study will inventory existing • facilities in the area with the goal of determining where new facilities likely will be needed. To the 12 COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 22, 2000 extent that the City can do this, it can plan for those locations and minimize the number of towers. With the cooperation of surrounding communities in the planning study, the City can minimize the number of new towers in all the communities and still provide for full PCS service in compliance with federal law. The City Attorney advised that once the City Council initiates the process by directing staff to prepare a moratorium ordinance, the City can forestall approvals of applications for new towers until the study is completed. A moratorium on new tower applications will be treated as an amendment to the zoning ordinance. The pubic hearing would occur at the June 14, 2000, Planning and Zoning Board meeting, as show in the following schedule: City Council meeting: initiate, process for adopting 90 day Moratorium by directing staff to prepare ordinance and Setting pubic hearing date May 22, 2000 Public hearing at Planning & Zoning Board 14, 2000 First Reading of ordinance at City Council meeting ,,► ` une 26, 2000 Second Reading of ordinance at City Cou ti July 10, 2000 Ordinance published in newspaper July 17, 2000 Ordinance effective (30 da.
