VOTING AYE: Granger, Haas, Petryk, Puleo, Miron Motion Carried. APPROVE EXTENSION OF WATERS EDGE TEMPORARY SALES TRAILER UNTIL OCTOBER 30, 2005 Pulte Homes has had a sales trailer on the Wagner's Greenhouse property since August 13, 2004. According to the approving resolution for Water's Edge, the sales trailer had to be removed within nine months, meaning that the trailer should be removed from the site on or before May 13, 2005. At that time, the expectation was that Pulte would relocate the office into their model homes or clubhouse. Pulte requested an extension until October 30, 2005 in order to allow time for the clubhouse and model homes to be completed. Approval is subject to an extension of a right-of-way permit from Washington County, which is expected due to the delay in the construction of the CSAH 8/14 project. Haas made motion, Granger seconded, to approve the extension of the temporary sales trailer until October 30, 2005, subject to discussion with Washington County about striping for turn lanes adjacent to the trailer's entrance. All aye. Motion Carried. PROPOSED LEGISLATION FOR 10 -YEAR EQUIPMENT CERTIFICATES At its February 7, 2005 meeting, Council discussed whether to propose new legislation for 10 -year equipment certificates, from the current state statute of five years. Council stated that they were not interested in a change in legislation at this time and voted unanimously to table the issue. Since that meeting, State Representative Ray Vandeveer scheduled a hearing with the Metro Governance Committee and a new bill for 10 -year equipment certificates was heard, at which Fire Chief Jim Compton testified. The new bill passed and was referred to the committee. Jim prepared a background letter with a timeline of events relating to this issue, and was present at the meeting to discuss them with Council. After discussion, it was the consensus of the Council to maintain a neutral position.
