-3- Councilman Enrooth was assured by the City Manager that 1985 City contribution to the Suburban Cable Commission budget would be reimbursed to all member cities from • either an advance on franchise fees or from the $150,000 indemnification from Group W, if the amendment agreement with Group W would not be signed. The Coucil- man was told the Commission had decided to seek this contribution because the signing of the agreement had been delayed when one of the city members, Mounds View, had encountered a problem with their city charter to adopt the agreement. However, Mr. Soth indicated he understood that problem had been resolved and no further delays in signing the agreement were anticipated. Councilmembers Marks and Ranallo arrived at 7:37 P.M. during this discussion. Motion by Councilman Makowske and seconded by Councilman Enrooth to approve payment of $9,294 as the City's 1985 contribution to the Suburban Cable Commission budget. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Ranallo to approve payment of $9,554.40 to GM Truck & Bus Group for the purchase of the one ton truck, bid through the Hennepin County Purchasing group. Motion carried unanimously. Ron Hansen reported the March 19th Planning Commission minutes and the recommendations to the Council reflected therein. The Commission spokesman reiterated that the intent of the proposed amendment of the • City Ordinance as it related to accessory buildings had been to prohibit eaves from encroaching beyond approved setbacks between houses and garages. Mr. Childs indicated the bay windows which had -aroused . so much controversy last summer would not be effected by the proposed amendment, since it would not address setbacks between principal structures. Councilman Mar..ks recalled that when the Zoning Ordinances had been rewritten in 1976 there had been a great deal of discussion about accessory buildings and portions of those buildings encroaching property lines, but the City Manager at that time had indicated he perceived the problem had been effectively addressed in the final ordinance draft. Councilman Makowske's proposal for a third finding in addition to the Commission's for Ordinance 1985-002 was accepted, along with the following changes in the ordinance itself proposed by the City Attorney to assure the Council 's intentions related- to the encroachments had been clearly specified: ORDINANCE 1985-002 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 1 , ITEMS 2 AND 4 OF SUBDIVISION 2 OF APPENDIX I OF THE 1973 CODE OF ORDINANCES The City Council of the City of St. Anthony hereby ordains: Section 1 , Items 2 and 4 of the Subdivision 2 of Appendix I of the 1973 Code of Ordinances are hereby amended to read as follows: • Subdivision 2.
