Sewer Assessment on Outlot D. Further that the street assessment levied on Outlot D be the financial responsibility of the developer; and that there is no amendment to the cost of the bridge improvements and resulting Administrative Fee. (Motion passed 5-0.) D.Consultant Selection - Old Village Design Study Planner Dillerud reported the Old Village Special Projects Commission conducted interviews of three finalist firms for providing the City consulting services to complete a Neighborhood Design Study of the undeveloped portions of the Old Village. The Commission unanimously adopted a recommendation to engage the firm Thorbeck Architect/Land and Water Design Institute to undertake this project. The Commission also recommends that, given the extensive public participation intended and expected with this project, the City should also make arrangements for a "third party" facilitator. Dillerud stated the CDBG project budget for this element ($40,000) has a sufficient amount available to accommodate this recommendation. Council member DeLapp had forwarded to Planner Dillerud suggestions by Planning Commissioner Julie Bunn for setting up a public process with steps and timeline. M/S/P Dunn/Armstrong — to authorize and direct staff and the City Attorney to prepare a contract with the firm Thorbeck/Land and Water Design Institute for consulting services to prepare an Old Village Design Study for the City, reflecting the firm's proposal to the City, and at a Not -to -Exceed fee of $28,900 with said contract to be presented to the City Council for approval when completed. (Motion passed 4-1:Armstrong — the CDBG money was intended for affordable housing and not for the projects designated by staff.) The Council agreed with a "third party" facilitator, but Council member Siedow wanted to know how much before we spend the money. M/S/P DeLapp/Dunn — to direct staff to investigate for a "third party" facilitator. (Motion passed 5-0.) E.Pole Buildings Revisited On January 2, 2002, the Council directed staff to review the text of Section 505.10, regarding the circumstances/standards under which "pole buildings" are a permitted structure in the City. The section now allows pole buildings only in AG and RR zones. Mr. Kreiglemeier had presented circumstance where his parcel is zoned R-1, but he is surrounded on three sides by parcels zoned AG, many of which have metal accessory structures. The Council directed staff to draft amendatory language to Section 505.10 that addresses Mr. Kreiglemeier's issue. Planner Dillerud reported there are at least two other parcels with identical circumstances (R-1 zoning, with AG on 3 sides). If the circumstances are extended to RR zoned parcels, there are several additional parcels in the same situation. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 5, 2002
