City Council meeting of January 19, 1999 Page 3 Stoltzman made motion, Barnes seconded, to appoint Chuck Haas as the Council's representative on the Parks Commission. All aye. Motion Carried. AUTOMOBILE RECYCLING APPLICATION (ARK) Mr. Daniel Stewart, 13795 60th Street, Oak Park Heights, MN., dba Automotive Recycling Kompany, applied for an Auto Dismantling License for 16813 Forest Boulevard; this is the site of the old Modern Auto and Northside Auto facilities. The Council considered a report from the City Administrator with recommended conditions for license approval. It was agreed that no license would be issued until the required escrow was deposited, and Mr. Stewart signed a Stipulation Agreement to settle an ongoing legal action regarding his operating without a license. Barnes made motion, Haas seconded, to table this matter pending Mr. Stewart depositing the required escrow and signing the Stipulation Agreement. All aye. Motion Carried. REQUEST FOR UM1W COST SHARING (BACKES COS.) At the Council meeting of December 7, 1998, the City Council received a request from the Backes Cos., developer of Creekview Preserve subdivision, for reimbursement of certain costs incurred in extending 12" watermain along the east side of TH61, and increasing the depth of sanitary sewer throughout their project to serve adjacent property. The Council considered the City's cost-sharing policy, and the Engineer's benefit analysis on this request. The City received a petition from property owners along TH61 objecting to any financial obligation as a result of extension of utilities for this subdivision. Council member Barnes felt she needed more time to research the history of this issue. Barnes made motion, Leroux seconded, to table this matter until the meeting of February 1, 1999. All aye. Motion Carried. DEER PARK ESTATES (CONDITIONS OF PRELIIVIINARY PLAT APPROVAL) On December 28, 1998, the City Council approved the preliminary plat for the Deer Park Estates subdivision, subject to an amended SUP. The Council reviewed draft Findings of Fact and Conditions of plat approval for the subdivision, as well as an amended SUP. The conditions of preliminary plat approval provided would act as a basis for development of the final plat for the project, as well as a Development Agreement. Councilman Haas revisited whether a commercial business can be allowed in a residential PUD, and if City Attorney, Greg Galler, would have a conflict of interest in representing the City as he has represented the applicant relative to this matter in the past. It was agreed that Stillwater City Attorney, Dave Magnuson, would provide legal representation for the City in this matter. Haas also stated that the applicant will need to escrow PUD fee of $5,000 in order for City to continue with the process.
