The City would continue to hold a letter of credit in an amount equal to 25% of the <br />original cost.

This authorization was necessary to <br />protect pedestrians, who access Long Lake to fish. In accordance with county policy, they have <br />requested adoption of a resolution providing formal authority to Washington County. Adoption of the <br />Consent Agenda adopted Resolution 2004-85 authorizing Washington County to install no parking signs <br />on 130'h Street, north of Long Lake. <br />APPROVE LETTER OF SUPPORT TO COUNTY COMMISSIONER -ELECT GARY KRIESEL <br />FOR CITY ASSESSOR <br />On November 2, 2004, Stillwater City Council member Gary Kriesel was elected by Washington County <br />residents to replace his brother, Nile Kriesel, who is the Washington Commissioner for the Stillwater <br />area.

Shea requested approval of both a preliminary and final plat for four single-family detached <br />homes in "O'Shea's Irish Ridge". The subject property is located at the southwest quadrant of Irish <br />Avenue and 155th Street. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on November 18th and voted <br />unanimously to recommend approval of the preliminary plat. The final plat is in substantial <br />conformance with the preliminary plat. Council member Haas questioned buyer notification of the <br />proximity of the Wild Wings game farm. CD Director Bryan Bear stated that the "first-time buyer" <br />would be notified of the game farm, but there would be no way to ensure that future homeowners would <br />be informed. Haas also suggested that horse trails be installed sooner than later. Because the trails go <br />"nowhere" right now, and the "exception" parcel did not want an easement on his property, it was <br />determined to not pursue a trail at this time. <br />Haas made motion, Granger seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION 2004-86 APPROVING THE <br />PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR O'SHEA'S IRISH RIDGE. <br />VOTING AYE: Granger, Haas, Petryk, Puleo, Miron Motion Carried. <br />
