MSP (Neisen /Johnson) To approve a deferred assessment totaling $2,044.50 for Charles Charrier, 8295 Red Oak Drive, subject to signing a deferred assessment agreement. The deferment is in connection with Project 1971 -1A and was granted because Mr. Charrier now has double frontage, part on Red Oak Drive and part on Sunnyside Road, Clerk- Administrator Zylla read a petition signed by nine families of the Pinewood Area stating that they believe the corner of Quincy and County Road I was a dangerous intersection and they felt that a stop light or a 4 -way stop sign is necessary to make the intersection reasonabl}t safe. Clerk- Administrator Zylla was to contact the Ramsey County Safety Engineer and request a review of the intersection in question. No action was taken on a petition from James Lund to extend Edgewood Drive south from Hillview Road approximately 380 feet, since the Council did not believe it was necessary to extend Edgewood Drive through from Hillview Road to County Road I and to do so would mean that Mr. Lund did not represent 35% of the property owners. In addition, any street construction of a short distance may jeopardize our MSA funding since Edgewood Drive is a proposed MSA street. It was decided that if Mr. Lund could meet our construction requirements, Mr. Lund could construct the street on his own.

He stated that it appeared to be a private matter since no Village easements and no Village drainage pipe is involved. The problem results in that a private developer constructed the line and now it is plugged allowing no drainage into our surface water drainage system on Hillvie w. Councilman Neisen also announced that the street sweeping after sealcoating is presently being done. Councilman Johnson's Report Councilman Johnson was informed by Mr. Meyers that Mr. Lloyd Moen has been served a summons as a result of damage caused to our sewer main on the 8300 block of Red Oak Drive. Cost of repair was almost $3,000. Councilman Johnson inquired as to why our zoning ordinance required garages to be placed in the rear yard only. Since no one was sure of the answer the matter was referred to the Planning Commission for possible study and amendment. Councilman Johnson read the Planning Commission minutes for September 21st. Councilman Johnson also requested that the New Brighton Bulletin retract the statement that the auditing firm of George Johnson was hired to audit the books. He stated that it should have been the George Hanson Company. Attorney Meyers' Report Mr. Meyers reporting on the combination of the treasurer and clerk position, stated that in his opinion it could be done simply by Village ordinance. There was no action taken by the Council. Attorney Meyers also reported on Chapter 842 of the Municipal Planning Code. He stated that it appeared that Villages where subdivisions of under thirty acres were involved had the option of taking cash or land for park purposes. In subdivisions of over thirty acres, the option was up to the subdivider. He stated that it appeared only residential property could be figured in the calculation. Also to his knowledge there haw been no court cases yet on the issue. Mr. Meyers stated that he has received an appraisal for the Silver Lake Road proposed park property but that it would be wise to do nothing with the figure except to include it in the bond estimate until the park bond referendum question has been decided. He stated that he has started a study of the municipal court system versus the J.P. system and that he would have a further report at the next meeting. Attorney Meyers said he did not receive a copy of the Attorney Generals Opinion on the Community One joint powers agreement but that he does understand that it has been declared legal. 4 Councilman Neisen inquired as to whether a permit has been granted to John Moga to place a mobile home on his property. He was informed that at this time no application has been made. The Council decided to treat Mr. Moga as they would any other applicant upon a formal request. A motion to approve the preliminary plat of East Oaks Second Addition was with- drawn pending discussion of whether the Council should require either a cash or a land dedication as a result of Chapter 842 discussed previously in the meeting.
