City Council meeting of October 20, 2003 Page 3 APPROVE ENCROAC 1MENT AGREEMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A DECK (YELLE) Paul and Jennifer Yelle requested an encroachment agreement to locate a deck within a drainage and utility easement on their property located at 5450159' St. N. (Creekview Preserve). Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the encroachment agreement for the Yelle's. Sedona Homes, Inc requested the City accept the public improvements for the Pineview Meadows 2nd Addition subdivision, as well as a reduction in their letter of credit. City Engineer Dave Mitchell recommended that the requests be approved. Adoption of the Consent Agenda accepted the constructed public improvements for the Pineview Meadows 2nd Addition subdivision, contingent on final walk-thru approval, and reduction of the letter of credit to $97,600. APPROVE FINAL PLAT AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR DIAMOND POINT Emmerich Development requested approval of a development agreement and final plat for 10 single- family lots as part of the Diamond Point West development. These ten lots would allow the applicant to construct model homes this winter. The lots would receive access from an extension of Geneva Avenue North through the Rice Lake Meadows subdivision. Staff reviewed the final plat and construction plans and found them consistent with City standards. Haas made motion, Puleo seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION 2003-57 APPROVING FINAL PLAT AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR DIAMOND POINT WEST. VOTING AYE: Granger, Haas, Puleo, Miron Motion Carried. APPROVE LEASE AGREEMENT W/STONEBRIDGE WIRELESS TO LEASE SPACE ON TWO CITY WATER TOWERS At its October 6, 2003 meeting, Council listened to a presentation from Steve Gowdy from Stonebridge Wireless to introduce wireless internet service to the City of Hugo. After offering information, Steve answered a number of questions from Council, after which Council tabled action on the issue and directed staff to bring back additional information. Staff assembled a significant amount of information for Council consideration. After review of the materials, the only issue for consideration by Council is whether or not to lease space on the City's water towers. Denial of the request would not prohibit Stonebridge Wireless from establishing service in the City, as they could lease space on another structure or erect poles or towers in the City to support their antennas. There are a number of wireless internet providers throughout the Twin Cities, with only one of them currently operating in Hugo, and it is scheduled to terminate service in the very near future. The low number of internet providers is directly related to the small population of the City. The applicant is proposing to pay the City 5% of his gross revenue derived from the equipment located on the towers.
