ANTHONY • COUNCIL AGFNDA May 13,1975 L. Call to Order 2. Roll Call 3. Council Minutes a. Special Meeting 4/29/75 b. Council Meeting 4/22/75 4. Council Board Reports a. Human Relations Minutes 4/15/75 5. Public Hearing a. Jack Maxwell request for variance. You will note that Mr. Maxwell's request is for a 2' variance from the 30' front yard setback requirement. However the ordinance deals with setback in two different ways. In 300.05 Subdivision 7, Item 1 a 30' setback is required for single family resident and in 300.81 Subdivision 6, Item 3 the ordinance talks about the setback as the average of houses on the block or a maximum of 50 ft. The average setback of the houses in the block Mr. Maxwell lives in is approximately 52 ft. The Planning Commission chose to consider the 30 ft. as applying in this case. ACTION: I would recommend that we allow Mr. Maxwell the variance. I feel we should encourage anyone we can to improve houses on Silver Lake Road or I feel we'll eventually began to see them become rundown etc. because of the heavy traffic on the street. We already have several that have been renting apartments, etc. on Silver Lake Road. Homes that have been up for sale on Silver Lake Road haven't sold nearly as well as ones in other locations in the city either. 6. Ordinances/Resolutions a. Resolution #75-029 A RESOLUTION REGARDING COOPERATIVE PURCHASING AGREE- MENT WITH STATE OF MINNESOTA. Attached you will find information regarding joining the state in purchasing certain items. ACTION: Recommend we adopt resolution so we can take advantage of states quantity purchases if to our advantage. The agreement or resolution won't require the city to purchase anything with the state but will allow us to if its to our advantage. 7. Old Business a. Salvation Army Agreement. I received the attached letter on 5/7/75• I have a meeting with Brig. Kish on 5/12/75 though and I hope we can convince him to change his mind. 8. New Business a. Award of bids-Aggregate, asphaltic oil, etc. • ACTION: Recommend we award bids as follows: Aggregates-Anderson Aggregates Asphalt-Dunkley Oil-W.H. Barber* *Although Koch is slightly lower for the oil we would have to go to Pine Bend to pick it up and this would more than offset the price difference so I recommend we award to Barber. -2- b. Discussion of ordinance requiring residents to remove drain tile from • sanitary sewer. Attached is a memo from Larry Hamer regarding the problem. ACTION: I would recommend we have our attorney prepare an ordinance to require residents to remove the the from the sanitary sewer system. c. Discussion of request to sell used autos at Flea Market. Attached please find a letter from Mr. David A Pyles regarding this matter. ACTION: The zoning ordinance is somewhat fuzzy on this subject. Car sales are mentioned in salesrooms only and I have advised Mr. Pyles that I wouldn't approve of outdoor sales of cars. I feel we would be creating a real can of worms if we allow this. Within a short period of time I'm certain we would have all kinds and types of merchandise being sold in the lot up there and we've had enough problems with the parking without allowing sales outside. 9. Communications/Petitions a. Letter from Student Council regarding Music Fest. I have discussed the request with Chief Brown and he and I both feel that there could be many problems unless the Student Council is prepared to hire policemen to provide security. I would also recommend that if the council grants approval that no advertising be allowed and that only St. Anthony students be invited. An earlier quitting time would also be adviseable because of noise, etc. b. State of Minnesota regarding dangerous intersection signs. I sent a letter to the highway department requesting signs as the Council requested. • Highway department employees came out and toured the area with me but still indicated they didn't feel the signs were necessary. The night they were out (April 24th) there was a 3 car and 1 motorcycle accident on the corner but luckily only 1 person was hurt. However, on May 8th there was another accident and a little girl received a broken leg and facial lacerations. ACTION: Council c. Letter from Suburban Nursing Service-Informational ACTION: File letter and determine who, if anyone, can attend meeting. d. Ramsey County League letter-Informational ACTION: Discussion regarding our position on tax bills reported to date. e. Letter AMM regarding annual meeting. ACTION: Everyone who plans to attend please indicate so and we'll send registration in. Everyone who can should try to attend the annual meeting. f. Letter from Hennepin County Public Works regarding CSA 94. Material attached. ACTION: Recommend we approve and then began procedures to assess the project. 10. Reports a. Jim Fornell regarding sewer bill adjustments. I believe Jim covers the problems very adequately in his report and I would concur with recommend- ations. ACTION: Recommend council authorize manager to adjust distorted sewer bills As -3- either by using 2nd quarter reading or on the basis of past consumption. b. Report regarding tennis courts. The first sheet is only intended to indicate lighting cost for last year. This year with a full season of operation we should get a better picture of costs and returns. c. Assessment Policy Attached is a revised assessment policy. I have come to the conclusion after working on it for a long period of time the most feasible way to go is with a strictly unit basis. I feel it removes any contention that different properties are treated differently, etc. One additional change we might want to consider though is not using the improvement district concept but merely adopting a plan we would have the engineer prepare that would entail improving one or more large areas of the city each year. ACTION: Council d. Discussion of rebuilding of 29th. Ice Comstock, City Engineer, will have additional information for the Council regarding the improvement of 29th. 10A. Reports by Mayor, Manager, Council a. Report from Donna Stauffer regarding Suburban Rate Authority. b.
