Mounds View City Council September 26, 2005 Regular Meeting Page 11 language and found no issues with the subdivision. The Public Works Department suggested the 1 lot line of Tract C and D be lined up with the property to the south but the survey monuments 2 have already been set and the mylars for the registered land survey produced so Staff 3 recommends the City accept it as submitted. He advised that Mr. Olson has consented to 4 easements and park dedication is not applicable since no new lots are being created. Director 5 Ericson explained that a public hearing was not required but Staff did notify adjacent property 6 owners and no comments were received. Staff and the Planning Commission recommend 7 approval and Mr. Olson is in the audience to answer questions, if any. 8 9 Mayor Marty asked about the restriction recommended for Tract D and how enforceable it would 10 be since it would qualify as an independent lot. Director Ericson stated that is correct and is why 11 it is important to include that restriction since it does not front on a full right-of-way. He stated 12 his understanding that deed restrictions are difficult to get rid of and at some point, if Knollwood 13 Drive is improved and goes through, then the property owner at that time can request the City to 14 remove that deed restriction. Until that time, the restriction assures that the property cannot be 15 built upon except for typical accessory uses. 16 17 Mr. Olson stated he has nothing to add and asked the Council to approve the request. 18 19 MOTION/SECOND: Thomas/Stigney. To waive the reading and adopt Resolution 6636, a 20 Resolution Approving a Minor Subdivision of 7851 Spring Lake Road. 21 22 Ayes-5 Nays-0 Motion carried. 23 24 E. Resolution 6601 Awarding a Construction Contract for the Emergency 25 Vehicle Preemption (EVP) Installation Project 26 27 Public Works Director Lee stated the City received and opened six bids on September 20, 2005 28 for the construction contract for the Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) Installation Project. 29 The low bid was from Eagan Companies, Inc. at $59,500. The engineer’s estimate was $60,000. 30 He reviewed that Staff did receive quotes about a month ago but they were rejected since the 31 dollar amount was in excess of $50,000 and the City Attorney recommended competitive bids be 32 received. Public Works Director Lee recommended the Council adopt the resolution awarding a 33 construction contract to Eagan Companies, Inc. and entering into a maintenance contract with 34 Ramey County for the EVP systems. 35 36 Councilmember Flaherty commented on the language of the County’s contract that indicates all 37 the costs are to the City of Mounds View and that the City is always liable. He noted he found 38 no dollar figure reflected. Public Works Director Lee explained that the devices would be 39 owned, operated, and maintained by the City which is why the Ramsey County contract reflects 40 that the City is responsible for the cost and liability. 41 42 Councilmember Flaherty asked if the Ramsey County vehicles would be tied into this system. 43 Public Works Director Lee answered in the affirmative. 44 45
