Minutes for the City Council Meeting October 18, 2010 Page 4 of 7 Approve Pay Request No. 4 from Gencon Construction for Construction of Park Shelter at Hanifl Fields City staff received Pay Request No. 4 from Gencon Construction for work completed to date on the construction of the Hanifl Fields Athletic Park shelter. Public Works Director Scott Anderson and Senior Engineering Technician Steve Duff have reviewed the pay request and found it to be satisfactory for work completed to date on the project. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved Pay Request No. 4 from Gencon Construction for work completed to date on the construction the Hanifl Fields Athletic Park Shelter in the amount of $76,061.75. Approve Interim Use Permit for Offsite Directional Sign for Prairie Village The applicant is requesting approval of an off-site directional sign for the residential neighborhood development known as "Prairie Village". The sign is currently placed at the northeast corner of 158th Street and Elmcrest Avenue. The property is owned by Dorothy Nesser and is 40 acres in size. The applicant would like to direct prospective buyers to the development with the placement of the sign. The sign is approximately 10 feet from the right-of-way of Elmcrest Avenue and 20 feet from the right-of-way of 158th Street. This results in the sign being 37 feet from the edge of Elmcrest Avenue and 34 feet from the curb of 158th Street. The sign ordinance allows temporary off-site directional signs to direct traffic to residential developments with approval of an interim use permit. At its October 14, 2010, meeting the Planning Commission considered this request and recommended approval. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved RESOLUTION 2010-52 APPROVING AN INTERIM USE PERMIT FOR A TEMPORARY OFF-SITE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT DIECTIONAL SIGN TO BE LOCATED ON PROPERTY AT 15815 ELMCREST AVENUE NORTH. Approve Resolution for Revisions to Assessment Policy Regarding Senior Deferment The City Council adopted its current Assessment Policy with Resolution 2008-09 on March 17, 2008. City staff has received an application for a Senior Citizen deferral, and discovered a discrepancy within the current Assessment Policy related to eligibility. The policy states that anyone 65 years of age or older can apply for a assessment deferral, whether or not they turn 65 before or during the assessment period. For example, a person that turns 65 at year 5 of a ten- year assessment is eligible for a deferral of the remainder of the assessment. The application instructions, however, state that a person has to apply for a deferral within 30 days of the adoption of the assessment which is in conflict with the eligibility criteria. Staff recommended a modification to the application instructions to remove the 30 -day restriction. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved RESOLUTION NO. 2010-53 ADOPTING SPECIAL ASSESSMENT POLICIES Approve Application for Senior Deferral for Road Assessment On October 7, 2010, the Finance Department received and Application for Deferment of Special Assessments signed by Larry Funk of 14900 Foxhill Avenue. He is requesting that the assessment for the Hugo Elementary Street Reconstruction Project be deferred as per the terms of the approved resolution. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the Application for Deferment of Special Assessment for Larry Funk.
