Mounds View City Council January 7, 2002 Special Meeting Page 10 • • C. Consideration of Resolution 5682, a Resolution Approving a Minor Subdivision of 730 Woodlawn Drive and 718 Edgewood Drive, Planning Case MI01-005 Community Development Director Ericson explained that this item is a request for a minor subdivision that would approve a property line change. He indicated that the applicant owns both pieces of property and would like to shift the back property line back to allow for more room on the duplex lot to allow for a future garage addition. Director Ericson indicated that the Planning Commission had reviewed the request and had recommended approval. He then read through the stipulations included with the Resolution and indicated that Staff is in support of the request. Council Member Quick asked why no park dedication fee was required. Director Ericson indicated that according to the City's Code, because no new lots are being created and no new dwelling units added, a park dedication fee is not required. Council Member Quick expressed concern that this is commercial property that is being expanded and has the potential for future development expansion and he feels there should be a park dedication fee required.

Resolution 5678, Appointing Official Newspaper, Acting Mayor, Treasurer and Official Depository for the Year 2002. • City Administrator Miller indicated that this Resolution takes care of housekeeping issues that are typically handled at the first Council meeting of the year. She also indicated that state statute and the City Charter require that a treasurer be appointed. Mayor Sonterre, Council Member Thomas and Council Member Quick indicated they would like to continue using the Focus as the official newspaper. Council Member Marty suggested using the Bulletin as the official newspaper because the rates are cheaper and he feels the coverage of City events is better with less advertising than the Focus.
