ALSO PRESENT: City Attorney Karney Clerk/ Administrator Pauley and City Planner Herman. Motion /Second: Hankner /Wuori to apparove the Septem- ber 26, 1988 minutes as presented. 41 15 ayes 0 nays Bill Frits, 8072 Long Lake Road, asked how long it would be until absentee ballots went out. Clerk /Administrator Pauley explained that is done at a County level. They have not been printed yet and he does not know their schedule. The City does, however, have the applications for absentee ballots. Mayor Linke closed the regular meeting and opened the first public hearing at 7:06 PM. City Planner Herman reviewed the request of the applicant to construct an oversized garage. She explained the Council had passed two ordinances this past summer to allow garages greater than 864 s.f. with a conditional use permit. She presented an overhead map, showing the location of the lot within the City, as well as the proposal for placement of the garage on the lot. City Planner Herman reviewed the conditions that would be part of the permit, as well as all subsequent permits for similar oversized garages. She added the Planning Commission has recommended approval. DATE APPROVED 10/24/88 Regular Meeting October 10, 1988 Mounds View City Hall 2401 Hwy. 10, Mounds view, MN 55112 2. Pledge of Allegiance 3. Roll Call 4. Approval of Minutes: September 26, 1988 Motion Carried 5. Residents Requests and Comments from the Floor 6. Public Hearing: Consideration of Conditional Use Permit for 8024 Woodlawn, Steve Leguil Mounds View City Council October 10, 1988 Regular Meeting Page Two Aft Peter Lazowi, 7971 Woodlawn, stated he has a one acre lip lot and would like to be able to build a larger garage without going through this process. He expressed frustration at not being able to park his car in his driveway to sell. He added he has no problem with this proposal. Mark Barenz, 7953 Woodlawn Drive, stated he is in favor of larger garages and would like to see the City consider allowing other out buildings to remain on large lots when an oversized garage is built. Mayor Linke explained one acre lots are not the norm in the City, and they must look at the City overall. He added that the 1,000 s.f. allowance has loosened restrictions overall. Mr. Barenz asked if the condition could be based on the size of the lot. Mayor Linke replied they have had several subdivisions this summer and there are problems no matter how this is approached. Councilmember Hankner stated Mr. Barenz has a valid point, and the City could think about that in the future. She asked how long ago the previous ordinance had gone into effect. Clerk /Administrator Pauley responded that it was some time in the mid 70's. Attorney Karey advised the present ordinance is similar to that in most other cities. Mayor Linke closed the public hearing and reopened the regular meeting at 7:15 PM. Mayor Linke closed the regular meeting and opened the 7. second public hearing at 7:15 PM. City Planner Herman reviewed the request of the applicant to construct an oversized garage and she presented an overhead showing the location of the property within the City, as well as the proposal for the garage. She added the conditional use permit would have the same conditions as listed for the previous permit request. Mayor Linke closed the public hearing and reopened the regular meeting at 7:17 PM. Public Hearing: Consideration of Conditional Use Permit for 8075 Sunnyside Road, Richard hanson Clerk /Administrator Pauley read the items on the 8. Approval of proposed consent agenda. Consent Agenda Mciunds View City Council October 10, 1988 Regular Meeting Page Three Kathy Ayaz, 7751 Bona Road, asked that Item A be removed for questions. Motion /Second: Quick /Wuori to approve the consent agenda, minus Item A, and waive the reading of the resolutions. 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried Ms. Ayaz stated she had not heard anything about any type of wetland alteration permit from the Planning Commission or Environmental Quality Review Board and questioned why she hadn't heard anything. She added she felt scheduling a public hearing was rushing things. City Planner Herman explained the proposal was presented to the Planning Commission at their October 5 meeting, at their agenda session following adjournment of the regular meeting. She noted that it was announced during the regular meeting that the presentation would be following, as well as it was listed on the agenda. She advised the Planning Commission is in the process of reviewing it and it is on their agenda for their October 19 meeting. Ms. Ayaz stated that would be five days prior to the public hearing, which she did not feel was adequate time to study the proposal. She also asked if it would be going to the Environmental Quality Review Board. Clerk /Administrator Pauley stated the City does not have a review board, but they do have an Environmental Quality Task Force, and issues are presented to them at the direction of the Council. Councilmember Hankner pointed out that having a public hearing is one way to gather early comments from the residents and bring any questions or issues forth. She added they would not have to take any action at that hearing and could continue it. Ms. Ayaz stated it would be hard to educate them- selves in five days. Clerk /Administrator Pauley explained the developer was present and Staff has requested them to make a presentation tonight of the entire project in detail. Sandy Krouah, 7827 Bona Road, asked if it had been sent to the Environmental Quality Task Force. Mayor Linke replied it had not. Aft Councilmember Hankner explained the Task Force has only IMF met on two occasions so far, both of which were organi- zational meetings. She added they will be meeting this Tuesday evening, but they are not geared up at this point to do a substantive review. She further explained the City Council and Planning Commission will be reviewing it together. She also pointed out that if the process is too spread out, by the time the public hearing is reached, they are just hearing about issues that should have surfaced earlier. Mounds View City Council October 10, 1988 Regular Meeting Page Four Jim Sandidge, 7817 Bona Road, reviewed what he thought was the process of events, which he did not believe the City was following this time. City Planner Herman again explained the proposal had been presented to the Planning Commission on October 5 and was listed on their agenda. Mr. Sandidge stated he was concerned another wetland issue is being jumped into very quickly and there seems to be an awful rush on this. He added they are not getting information on it. Councilmember Hankner noted that no matter how much time is allowed, the Council is still accused of not giving the public enough information or time. Ms. Ayaz stated she felt the agenda for tonight was very confusing as she did not see the correlation between setting the public hearing and receiving the EAW. Ms. Krough stated she thought the Environmental Quality Task Force was set up to give expertise to the Council. She stated they should have this information way in advance to study. She also asked if a resident could request something for the Task Force to do. She also noted Barr Engineeri..i had been paid to do a study of the wetland ord?__nce, in which they suggested the City categorize tL wetlands, and she urged the Task Force do that and make it a top priority. Councilmember Hankner explained there are a set number of days in which a request must be dealt with, and not everyone on the Task Force has the expertise to deal with this. They are working, though, to bring them up to that level. v... City Planner Herman clarified the time limit is 120 days from the time application is made with the City. Councilmember Hankner explained this is a way to deal with the questions now, and they need them at the beginning, not at the hearing. Mounds View City Council October 10, 1988 Regular Meeting Page Five Mayor Linke also stated they need to get the informa- tion and questions up front, and once everything is presented, the wheels can start going on what the questions are. He added this process will help everyone. Mr. Sandidge stated the residents need time to get the information and review it, and it was only due to an error on the part of Staff in issuing the public notice that they had additional time with the last wetlands proposal. He stated he has been moni- toring the Planning Commission and City Council agendas and meetings. Mayor Linke noted the residents could not get any earlier notice than what they are getting now. Councilmember Quick stated they have consistently stalled public hearings to allow the constituents to come forth and make their complaints, and they could do so again. Ms. Ayaz asked for reassurance that if any questions or problems come up, that no action would be taken at the public hearing. Councilmember Hankner replied that was reasonable to expect that. Councilmember Blanchard stated she has questions also and does not plan on making a decision at the public hearing. It will be used as an opportunity to get input from the developer, residents and Council. Councilmember Hankner asked what control the Council has over the EAW. Clerk /Administrator Pauley replied the Council has total control as long as they are in compliance with governing rules. Motion /Second: Quick /Wuori to set a public hearing for 7:05 PM on October 24, 1988 for a wetland altera- tion permit, for Wetland I -24. 5 ayes 0 rays Motion Carried Motion /Second: Hankner /Blanchard to approve Reso- lution No. 2391, approving a conditional use permit request for Steve Leguil to construct an oversized garage at 8024 Woodlawn Drive, Planning Case No. 234 -88, and waive the reading. 5 ayes 9_ rnnc;deration of Resolution No. 2391 0 nays Motion Carried Mounds View City Council October 10, 1988 Regular Meeting Motion /Second: Hankner /Quick to approve Resolution 10. Consideration of No. 2392, approving a conditional use permit request Resclution for Richard Hanson to construct an oversized garage No. 2392 at 8075 Sunnyside Road, Planning Case No. 249 -88, and waive the reading. 5 ayes 0 nays City Planner Herman reported the Environmental Assessment Worksheet was received by the City last Friday. She added the developer, potential owner and consultant were in attendance to make a presen- tation tonight. Philip Seipp, President of Sysco /Continental Minne- sota, explained their company is in the business of food service distribution, and he reviewed their operation. Products are received in during the day, loaded onto the docks at night and shipped out the next day. They have outgrown their present facility and anticipate the proposal of 240,000 s.f. would handle their needs for the next five years. The plan will be designed for expansion for future needs. Mr. Seipp stated it is very important to them that VFW the residents see this as a desirable and appropriate use of land, and it be a harmonious relationship. They expect to employ 300 people by the time they move into the new facility, with eventual growth to 500. Mr. Seipp stated they would be very willing to have a public informational meeting before the public hearing, to meet with the public and hear and address their questions and concerns. Scott Kinkade, of Ryan Construction Company, gave a brief overview of the design. 209,000 s.f. would be warehouse space, with 35,000 s.f. of office space. The layout on the property has been planned to minimize the impact on the wetland and be appealing in appearance. Mr. Kinkade reviewed the lighting, signage, driveway layout and material plans. He stated their goal for occupancy is November 1989, which is driven by a number of concerns, with one of those being the need to begin grading before a hard freeze. Dick Koppy, of Westwood Professional Services, Inc., reviewed the storm drainage plans and preliminary landscaping plans. He explained 90 percent of all the water from the site will drain directly into the pond they are proposing in the upland area, not the existing wetland area. Mr. Koppy reviewed the alternatives for providing water services to the site, as well as the plans for sanitary sewer and site lighting. Page Six Motion Carried 11. Receive Environ- mental Assessment Worksheet for Sysco /Continental Minnesota and Authorize Submit- tal to Minnesota Environmental Quality Review Board Mounds View City Council October 10, 1988 Regular Meeting Page Seven Mr. Koppy reviewed the wetland considerations, explain- ing there are four different agencies that will be reviewing this to insure regulations are met. Those agencies would be the Rice Creek Watershed District, Army Corps of Engineers, DNR and City of Mounds View. A .7 acre encroachment would be made, but the addition of the pond in the upland area would create 2.8 acres of new wetland. Mr. Koppy showed where the encroachment would occur, explaining that due to both future road expansion plans and the location of a Williams pipeline on the pro- perty, they were restricted in placement on the property. They have met with the Ramsey County Highway Department and are planning the access to the property based on their recommendations, which would result in the roadway being on the wetland area for the .7 acre. They are also working with the Corps of Engineers, who has placed stakes on the property. The encroachment would be in both Type 2 and 7 wetlands, and he reviewed their mitigation proposal which would create another 3 acres of new wetland, which would bring the total up to over 5 acres of new wetland. Mr. Koppy reviewed the list of other permits required from the Minnesota Deparatment of Health, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Metro Waste Control Commission, Ramsey County, MnDOT and the City of Mounds View. He explained they intend to apply with each and every one of the different agencies and follow their specific permitting process. He added they will also be requesting a PUD for the site. Clerk /Administrator Pauley reviewed the plans for County Road J within the City of Mounds View. He also explained Barr had received the report last week and has begun reviewing it. Staff will be meeting with them sometime this week, or as soon as possible, and they will be including both Attorney Meyers and Attorney Karney in the discussions. He added he would let the Council know when the meeting was scheduled. Mr. Koppy stated they would be submitting their re- quests to the various agencies after the preliminary plat has been approved. He also responded to questions from the EAW which had been submitted_ it was agreed by the Council that addendums and maps would be attached regarding the undeveloped park land adjacent to the proposed development. There was discussion on the soil borings which are being done presently. Their findings are consistent my with what information is already available. Kay Weisman, 7807 Bona Road, asked what capacity the building will he used at. Mr. Seipp explained the first building should meet their growth needs for five Mounds View City Council October 10, 1988 Regular Meeting Page Eight years, at which time they would then expand to accomodate future growth. Ms. Weisman inquired how old the pipeline is that is in place. Mayor Linke replied it is from 1957, and the City is going to Court on it on January 1. Clerk /Administrator Pauley added that indications from Williams are that they feel the pipeline is acceptable and if they are required to replace it, it would be left in the same location, just maybe lower. Ms. Weisman asked what the comparison was with the Type 2 and 7 wetlands between the Corps of Engineers and City's boundaries. Mr. Koppe explained they are different, and both bodies do approach it differently. He stated they are attempting to keep out of the City's boundary with the exception of the .7 acre. Ms. Weisman asked what the advantage of a PUD would be versus the alternatives. Mayor Linke explained the advantages, stating that since they are working with both the pipeline and the wetlands, this would allow them some flexibility. Clerk /Administrator Pauley reported the Mounds View Business Park and Kraus Anderson development of manor homes and commercial area long Highway 10 are all PUD's, and he reviewed the PUD process and the benefits it provides to both the City and the developer. Ms. Weisman challenged the City to stay firm with one set of boundaries for the wetlands and suggested having the Environmental Quality Task Force address that. She also stated a lot of information needs to be absorbed and she is concerned with the pressure with the time element. She added the developer should have acted quicker. Mr. Seipp replied he could understand her concerns. He explained, however, that they began their process of looking for land to develop three years ago and had approval from their Board of Directors one year ago, but the company was then put up for sale and all pro- jects were put on hold for seven months. He added that has created a major problem for them with the time element. He also reiterated it would be their intent to hold whatever meetings are necessary to answer any questions and address any concerns. Mounds View City Council October 10, 1988 Regular Meeting Page Nine d m Mr. Foppy explained they will be getting permits from IOW both the Corps of Engineers and the City for the wetlands and will be meeting the conditions of both groups. He further explained that once the EAW is received by the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board, that will set up the time table, and it would be at least 30 days before it would come back to the City for any action or decision. Motion /Second: Hankner /Blanchard to receive the Environmental Assessment Worksheet with the addition of noting the park land adjacent to the site, and authorize submittal to the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board for review and comment. 5 ayes 0 nays City Planner Herman explained she anticipates receiving information from Barr Engineering on Friday, so she would r. commend any informational meeting be held after that date. Motion /Second: Linke /Wuori that if the Planning Commission is willing and able, there will be a joint meeting of the City Council and Planning Commission on October 19 at 6:30 PM, to be an informational meeting on this project. 5 ayes 0 nays Clerk /Administrator. Pauley advised Staff would publicize the meeting to the best of their ability. It will be cable cast, and word of mouth would be very helpful also. He also assured Ms. Ayaz that a packet of all available information wuuld be personally delivered to her home first thing in the morning, so that she could begin her review. Clerk /Administrator Pauley reported the Council had previously authorized Staff to begin negotiations with the owner of 8100 Groveland Road for the purchase of his property. He stated the City's appraiser has placed the value at $38,000 for the entire parcel, but ML. Hurley, atcorney for the owner, Julian Johnson, has counter offered at $45,000, which is not negoLiable. He stated funds would be available from the Silver Lake Woods account. Attorney Karney advised the costs of condemna- tion could be quite high and he would not recommend that alternative. He added the costs Motion Cararied Motion Carried 12. Consideration of Purchase of 8100 Groveland Road for Future Street Right -of -Way could well exceed the $7,000.00 difference between the City's appraisal and Mr. Johnson's price. Mounds View City Council October 10, 1988 Regular Meeting Page Ten Mr. Frits stated he had spoken against the project when it came up some months ago, and he does not feel the city of Mounds View should be in the real estate business. He added this road may or may not occur in the future, and where the money comes from now is inconsequential as it comes from the pocket of the taxpayers one way or the other. He added he objects strongly and feels a shotgun is being held to the City's head. He suggested going ahead and letting Mr. Johnson develop the property. Roy Droel, 8080 Groveland Road, stated he does not like the idea of an easement, as they will be buying too much land. He stated there are other layouts that would work better. He also stated the City does not take care of easements they have now. Councilmember Blanchard read a letter given her by Mr. Droel, stating his position, and requested that it be attached to the minutes. Don Gross, 8060 Groveland Road, asked who would pay for the assessment when the road is put in, if it ever is. Mayor Linke replied the benefited properties would pay. Mr. Gross pointed out that for those who do not want to sell off their property, they would still have to come up with the money somehow. Mayor Linke stated the Council has taken the stance that they will not go ahead on the road unless 100 percent of the property owners are in favor of it. Mr. Gross questioned why the City would even buy it then, as he and Roy Droel would never agree to it, and they would not have their 100 percent. He suggested giving Mr. Johnson the permit to build rather than p?y the price he has stated. Ms. Weisman stated she would rather see the City go through condemnation proceedings than give Mr. Johnson more than fair market value. She added she would rather give the money to an attorney to prove him wrong. Attorney Karney stated he did not believe an appraisal was done by Mr. Johnson. If the City were to proceed mir with condemnation, the City would be required to place the $38,000 with the Court up front, and the Court could possibly approve the $45,000 figure, and he reviewed the process to be followed. Mr. Hurley explained they did not have an appraisal done, due to the cost, and he explained how they arrived at the $45,000 figure, taking the $38,000 value of the front lot, and adding $7,000 for the rear. He added the process has been on -going for so long and he and his client would like it to be resolved now. He also showed on the map the other parcel Mr. Johnson owns. Mounds View City Council October 10, 1988 Regular Meeting Page Eleven Motion /Second: Blanchard /Hankner to deny the pur- chase of 8100 Groveland Road for the price of $45,000, which is $7,000 over the appraised value. 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried Mayor Linke stated he was in favor of the purchase but not the non negotiation process. Councilmember Wuori pointed out the Council had given Staff authorization to negotiate, so that would not have held up Mr. Johnson. Mr. Hurley stated Mr. Johnson would be willing to negotiate $1,000 but no more than that. Motion: Linke to table this to allow Staff time to deal with Mr. Johnson on this issue. The motion failed for lack of a second. Motion Failed Councilmember Hankner stated it would be two weeks before the next meeting if Mr. Johnson would like to negotiate, otherwise the building permit can be issued. Motion /Second: Hankner /Blanchard to have Staff grant the building permit for 8100 Groveland Road. 4 ayes 1 nay Motion Carried Mayor Linke voted against the motion. Councilmember Blanchard stated her reasons for denying the purchase of the property were because there are other alternatives, the Council should not be in the speculative real estate business, tying up $45,000 of the taxpayers money is wrong, and she has a gut reac- tion against coersion. Her comments were made later in the meeting and requested to be included with the agenda item. Clerk /Admintrator Pauley asked if a subdivision would be required before the building permit could be issued. City Planner Herman replied it is a buildable lot with no subdivision required. Mounds View City Council October 10, 1988 Regular Meeting Page Twelve Finance Director Brager reviewed proposed Resolution No. 2393. He explained the public hearing had been held on September 12. Motion /Second: Quick /Hankner to approve Resolution No. 2393, adopting the 1989 general city operating budget, and waive the reading. 5 ayes 0 nays Mayor Linke thanked Staff and the rest of the Council for the work that was done on the budget. Finance Director Brager reviewed proposed Resolu- tions No. 2394,2395 and 2396. Motion /Second: Hankner /Quick to approve Resolution No. 2394, certifying the 1989 general fund and forestry property tax levies, and waive the reading. 5 ayes 0 nays Motion /Second: Wuori /Blanchard to approve Reso- lution No. 2396, authorizing issuance of equipment debt certificate, prescribing the form and details thereof, levying taxes for the payment thereof, and waive the reading. 5 ayes 0 nays Motion /Second: Quick /Wuori to approve Resolution No. 2395, certifying the 1989 bonds and interest tax levy, and waive the reading. 5 ayes 0 nays Clerk /Administrator Pauley explained Public Works Director Minetor and Public Works Foreman Ulrich were in Colorado at snow plowing school, so em- ployees of the Public Works department were present to report their findings and equipment recommenda- t on. Tim Pittman, Gary Kardel, Steve Dazenski and Larry Deuchene each reported on their preference of the Caterpillar equipment over the other brands and the reasons why they preferred it. Tom Gresher, a salesman with John Deere, stated that when the specs were written he Anderstood his machine was acceptable and if his bid was low, it would be accepted. He stated his bid was low yet they were not planning on going with it, and he questioned how 13. Consideration of Resolution No. 2393 Motion Carried 14.

Consideration of Bids for Purchase of a Front End Loader and Snow Plow Equipment Mounds View City Council October 10, 1988 Regular Meeting Page Thirteen a judgement could be made on a 15 -20 minute trial. Councilmember Hankner explained this was a total cost bidding process, and the buy -back between the two bids was not the same, which in the long run could be less costly. She added the Council is working on looking to the future to make sure today's purchase meet tomorrow's needs. Mr. Gresher asked if the Council would award the bid if only one bid was received. Councilmember Hankner replied they would send it out again if only one bid was received. Mr. Gresher stated he would have bid if he had known his low bid would be turned down. Mayor Linke explained they are not talking that much difference, and look at the cost, as well as what the users feel. He added he feels a judgement can be made on a piece of equipment in 15 minutes. Motion /Second: Hankner /Wuori to authorize the purchase of a front end loader and snow plow equipment and award the bid to Ziegler Inc. for 0 a Caterpillar 936F, in the amount of $99,086.00. 5 ayes 0 nays Clerk /Administrator Pauley reviewed the bids re- ceived for the dump truck and snow equipment and the recommendations of Staff. Motion/Second: Quick /Blanchard to approve the bid of Lakeland Ford for the dump truck in the amount of $40,493.59 and the bid of Midland Equipment for the snow equipment in the amount of $18,055.00. 5 ayes 0 nays Clerk /Administrator Pauiey reviewed Ordinance No. 449.

Councilmember Blanchard explained her reasons for voting against the purchase of 8100 Groveland Road, which are listed earlier in the minutes. Councilmember Hankner had no report. Mayor Linke had no report.
