. s -4- plan for the City and the second to look at the existing ordinances • pertaining to planning issues to see if some of the outdated concepts and language could be rewritten. Mr. Soth advised it would be much easier to recodify some of the Commission suggestions than rewriting the whole City Ordinance. He said he has been attempting to recodify the ordinances as they come up. He then alerted the Council to the fact that somehow during the hectic last hours of the legislative sessions some stringent restrictions on granting variances and conditional uses , which he perceives could impose heavy administrative expenses on municipalities , were slipped through. He suggested it might be advisable to have the League of Cities and A.M.M. study the legislation for possible repeal. Council- man Ranallo will bring the matter up with the League and the Mayor agreed to bring it to the attention of the A.M.M. Board of Directors at their next meeting. The following was passed as an indication of the Council ' s support of repeal of the legislation. Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Enrooth to request the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities and the League of Minnesota Municipalities to work towards the repeal of the new legislation which would set stringent restrictions on granting variances and conditional use permits . Motion carried unanimously . Because the date selected by Hennepin County for the Board of Review is not a Council date , Mr. Hamer was instructed to try to reschedule that hearing for' May 10 , 1983 . In reference to the proposed agreement with the Salvation Army Camp , whereby a feasibility study for the requested drainage of a problem area on the Salvation Army grounds would be made as discussed in the agenda packet, Mr. Hamer suggested an arrangement might be made with the engineers to delay the presentation of their charges for the study until after the study- had been presented to the other government bodies who would be involved in the drainage . The Public Works Director confirmed that St. Anthony has no runoff and that most is from New Brighton and the Salvation Army would have to bear all the costs for the study if the two counties and three cities who are involved failed to join in the joint powers agreement. Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Enrooth to adopt the resolution which would authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement with the Salvation Army for a feasibility cost study for correcting a drainage problem on Salvation Army property.
