The coop site plan diagram shows the approximately location for the proposed chicken coop in the northwest corner of the rear yard of the Applicant's property. The Applicant is Adrienne Olson. 9 The Applicant's letter describes that the coop will be located in the backyard directly behind the 10 garage and provides an image showing the proposed location in relation to the Applicant's 11 house. The site plan indicates a setback of 35 feet from the rear property line and 22 feet from 12 the side property line. The Applicant has indicated the coop will not be visible from the vantage 13 point of her neighbor's property to the east and that "a large bush will block the view of the coop 14 for the neighbors on the west side ". The Applicant further explains that her neighbors to the 15 north will have a "very limited view" of the coop due to the visual obstruction. The Applicant 16 has spoken to her east and west neighbors and both neighbors are supportive of her interest. The 17 dimensions of the coop are roughly 4 ft. by 6 ft. by 4 ft. with the latter dimension being the coop 18 height. 19 20 Staff has reviewed the Applicant's materials and, based on the reasonable nature of the proposed 21 coop location and design as well as the statement of neighbor support, do recommend approval 22 of this request to keep three hens on the property in question. 23 24 Motion by Councilmember Stille, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to adopt Resolution 17- 25 050; a Resolution Approving a Request to Keep Chickens in an R -1 Zoning District at 3313 26 Wendhurst Avenue. 27 28 Motion carried 5 -0. 29 30 B. Street and Utility Reconstruction Plan. 31 32 City Engineer Todd Hubmer provided the existing and proposed schedules for the Street and 33 Utility Reconstruction Program for the City of St. Anthony Village. The Street Reconstruction 34 Program is reviewed annually to ensure the City is addressing the most critical components of 35 the City's infrastructure. Several criteria were taken into consideration when developing the 36 recommended schedule: 37 1. Flood relief effort. 38 2. Condition of the existing utilities beneath the street. 39 3. Conditions of the streets and anticipated maintenance needs. 40 4. Adjacent infrastructure replacement (construction phasing). 41 5. Funding and requests from project partners. 42 43 Mr. Hubmer noted in recent years the City has revised the schedule to address utility issues on 44 Chandler Drive, pedestrian and project partner availability on Stinson Boulevard, and pedestrian 45 and partner concerns on Silver Lake Road. 46 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes June 13, 2017 Page 3 I Councilmember Stille asked how this will be presented to the public.

Resolution 17 -051: a Resolution to Approve Ordering Feasibilit�Report for 2018 Street 9 and Utility Reconstruction Project 10 11 City Engineer Todd Hubmer presented a resolution for Council consideration for ordering the 12 preparation of a feasibility report for the 2018 Street and Utility Improvement Project. The 13 project proposes the following locations for street and utility reconstruction: 14 • MacAlaster Drive from 37th Avenue NE to railroad tracks. 15 • Foss road from 37th Avenue NE to Chandler Drive. 16 • Highcrest Road from 37th Avenue NE to cul -de -sac. 17 18 Mr. Hubmer noted the location of the proposed project for 2018 has been changed from the 19 Street and Utility CIP presented last year. During the annual spring road tour with the Public 20 Works Department it was noted the utility and pavement condition of the location being 21 proposed was very poor and required more immediate attention. In addition to the proposed 2018 22 project location, an adjustment to the timing of other future project locations is being 23 recommended. The revised Street and Utility CIP was provided for Council consideration. 24 25 In addition to the locations described, the feasibility report will also include the review and cost 26 analysis of the following improvements: 27 • Asphalt mill and overlay of Anthony Lane from county Road C to cul -de -sac. 28 • Central Park splash pad water reuse /irrigation retrofit. 29 30 Mr. Hubmer recommended that the mill and overlay of Anthony Lane be considered with the 31 2018 improvement project due to the time and resources that Public Works Staff has been 32 spending on repairing deteriorating pavement on Anthony Lane. Staff also recommends the 33 addition of the Central Park water reuse improvements to the 2018 improvement project. Mr. 34 Hubmer reviewed the project schedule. 35 36 Motion by Councilmember Brever, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to adopt Resolution 17- 37 051; a Resolution Approving Ordering Feasibility Report for 2018 Street and Utility 38 Reconstruction Project. 39 40 Motion carried 5 -0. 41 42 VII.
