City Council meeting of December 1, 2003 Page 2 CONSENT AGENDA Haas made motion, Petryk seconded, to approve the following Consent Agenda: Approval of Claims Approve Encroachment Agreement for Sawie Nebo,15725 Fenway Ave, for Deck and Retaining Wall Approve Variance from Wetland for New Home at 15550 Jeffrey Avenue (Craig Anderson) Approve Submittal of Grant Application to OSHA for Public Works Safety Equipment Approve Public Recognition of 2002 Water Fluoridation Quality Award from MN Dept of Health Approve Capitol City Mutual Aid Agreement for HFD All aye. Motion Carried. APPROVAL OF CLAIMS Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the claims roster for December 1, 2003 as presented. ENROACHMENT AGREEMENT FOR SAWIE NEBO FOR DECK & RETAINING WALL Sawie Nebo, 15725 Fenway Avenue North, requested an encroachment agreement to locate a deck and retaining wall within a drainage and utility easement. The property is located in the Creekview Preserve development. Senior Engineering Tech Scott Anderson inspected the property and found the proposed deck and retaining wall would not negatively impact the adjacent ponding area. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the encroachment agreement for Sawie Nebo to be signed by the Mayor and Sawie Nebo. APPROVE VARIANCE FROM UNNAMED LAKE FOR NEW HOME (CRAIG ANDERSON) Craig and Kris Anderson requested a variance to permit a home to be located 151 feet from the Ordinary High Water from an unnamed lake on property located at 15550 Jeffrey Avenue North, Lot 1 Block 1, Anderson Hills. State law requires the City to adopt a setback of at least 150 feet from unsewered lots adjacent to a natural environment lake; however, the City ordinance requires a 200 -foot setback. As such, the City ordinance is more restrictive than state law. This increased setback requirement has caused a hardship by limiting the area in which to construct the home. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the variance for Craig Anderson at 15550 Jeffrey Avenue North. APPROVE SUBMITTAL OF GRANT APPLICATION TO OSHA FOR PUBLIC WORKS SAFETY EQUIPMENT Safe Assure Consultants, the City's safety consultant, informed the City of a matching OSHA grant available for purchasing safety equipment. The grant is a 50/50 matching grant opportunity and would be an excellent opportunity to utilize taxpayer dollars to purchase much needed safety equipment to perform daily public works maintenance. Adoption of the Consent Agenda authorized staff to work with Safe Assure Consultants to apply for the grant on behalf of the City of Hugo.
