He reviewed the plans and recommended Mounds View City Council August 14, 1989 Regular Meeting Page Three -------------------------------------------------------------------------- • the concept plan be handled separately. He also reviewed the easements and stated he did not see a problem with them, and also stated questions would most likely come up concerning the concept plan later. Councilmember Paone questioned if the property was designated single family. Ms. Hren replied yes, it is R-1. Mayor Hankner noted the Council had -discussed this last week. There were no questions or comments from the floor, so Mayor Hankner closed the public hearing and reopened the regular meeting at 7:16 PM. Mayor Hankner explained the Council has been given the opportunity to receive $75,000 from the Mounds View. Lions Club for a picnic shelter at Silver View Park, and she called on Lion Jerry Linke to review the proposed plans. Mr. Linke explained he was representing the planning committee of the Mounds View Lions, and he reviewed the steps the committee has taken so far. Costs on the proposed shelter came in higher than anticipated so they sat down and made cuts to reduce the cost. He added they have had discussions with the Council and Park and Rec Commission concerning providing utilities and the cost of them. He stated that he will be going back to the full Lions Club later this week with input from the Council. Mr. Linke reviewed the proposed construction of the building, which will be 34' x 69'. He estimated that the plans, as revised, should come in at the $75,000 bid price. and if the bids come in over that, they'll have to sit down again and do more cutting. He also noted the Council and Park and Rec Commission will decide on the policy and use of the building. Councilmember Quick expressed concern with the loca- tion of the outside security lighting, and antici- pated problems with maintenance. He also reviewed the layout of the proposed shelter and questioned if it could be layed out differently, in case changes were needed in the future, specifically in the rest- rooms. Mayor Hankner noted one side of the bathrooms would • not be visible to the police driving by at night, and expressed concern with vandalism, noting that they are experiencing more in each of the parks. 9. Review and Discussion of Silver View Park Picnic Shelter Plans Mounds View City Council August 14, 1989 Regular Meeting Page Four -------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Mr. Linke explained why the layout is proposed as is, and the different options they have looked at. Alter- nate layouts of the restrooms were discussed, but Mr. Linke noted that they could not be cut in size much due to the space requirement for making them handicapped accessible. Mayor Hankner pointed out that items the Council needs to consider include replacement of items, on-going maintenance and on-going utility costs. The planned restroom fixtures are porcelain, as they are less costly than. stainless steel, but are more susceptible to damage and vandalism. Mr. Linke explained money is not available at this time for picnic tables, but the Lions hope they may have the funds to provide the tables in the near future, and he reviewed the various options they have considered. He added he does not feel the utilities will be more than what the City is paying at Lambert Park. Mayor Hankner stated the Council is working with the budget for 1990 and she hopes they might find the funding for the tables. • Mr. Linke stated he hopes to bring the plan back to the Council in two weeks. They presently have about one month left for planning and bids, before con- struction must begin. Mayor Hankner stated the item would be placed on the agenda for next week, in the event Mr. Linke is ready to meet with the Council then, and it could be tabled if he is not ready, and in the meantime, Staff can look at the issue of on-going utility and maintenance costs. Motion/Second: Hankner/Wuori that Staff be directed to gather cost information relative to on-going maintenance, replacement and on-going utility costs for the Silver view Park picnic shelter. 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried Mayor Hankner stated she had received a letter about the path extension around Silver View Pond, and the City may have a problem as the proposed path area is very close to one of the homes. She stated she would have Staff copy the letter for the Council. • Mounds View City Council August 14, 1989 Regular .Meeting Page Five -------------------------------------------------------------------------- . County Commissioner Duane McCarty asked for direction from the Council relative to the resolution they had passed previously regarding County Road J reconstruc- tion, concerning eminent domain, and whether the Council really wants to give up that authority to the County, or if they would prefer to leave it within the local' domain. He noted not all commissioners live in or close to the City of Mounds View. He stated that if it is a cost containment issue. the County may be able to help somewhat. Mayor Hankner stated it is covered in the July 24 Council minutes, and noted it is a County. project, and it is the Council's feeling that if acquisition is needed, it is the responsibility of the County. She noted Anoka County does it for their communities and the cities of Blaine and Spring Lake Park do not have to acquire the property necessary for the County Road J reconstruction. Mr. McCarty noted this would be giving authority to the County and he pointed out .the residents would have access to only one County board member. Councilmember Quick noted the County board is elected by the residents of the County, and all board members • are representatives of all the people. He stated he has no problems with giving up the authority to the County. Councilmember Wuori noted not all suburbs have the same election structure as Mounds View, which is the same situation as precincts or the County board repre- senting several communities. Mayor Hankner noted this is a County project and should be done jointly by the two counties, and she added the City should be represented by more than just one commissioner. It was the concensus of the Council to leave the resolution the way it reads. Mr. McCarty reported that Long Lake Road construction north of County. Road H is included in the capital improvement plan for 1991, but he cannot guarantee that won't change within the next session.
