VOTING AYE: Olson, Potts, Vail, Atkinson VOTING NAY: Peltier Motion Carried. The above rezoning was approved based on the following facts: 1. The request in question is consistent with the comprehensive plan. 2. The request in question is consistent with other zoning districts in the area. The type of land use proposed is appropriate for the site in question. 4. There was no documented evidence submitted demonstrating that the proposal would be detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of the community. PETITION FOR ROAD I MPF�:OVEMENT ( JOE STANEi-:: The city received a letter from Mr. Lloyd Grooms requesting that the city take steps to establish a roadway location and install a road to serve property owned by Mr. Joe Stanek:. In earlier correspondence with Mr. Stanek::, the city informed him of the steps necessary to proceed with petitioning for roadway improvements. When reviewing the letter, the staff noted that it is not signed by Mr. Stanek::, the petition is not in the proper form, and does not appear to comply with Minnesota Statute Chapter 429 regarding this type of request. The city has had a long-standing policy that requests for road improvements on non -collector streets be done consistent with Chapter 429, and that the improvements be paid for by the petitioner or benefiting property owners. The\staff would suggest that Mr. Stanek:: be sent copies of the appropriate petition, forms, and that the procedures be followed as per city policy. Mayor Atkinson directed city staff to submit a letter to Mr. Grooms, along with a proper petition for improvement, stating that all items listed in his letter would be addressed in conjunction with the petition. The matter of the fence could be handled separately from the request for road improvement if the Council so chooses. MISCELLANEOUS The city received a letter from James Moberg, legal counsel. for Gene and Lisa Sampson, regarding a claim on the city for relocation/closing costs. City attorney, Charles Johnson, was directed to respond to Mr. Moberg's letter and discuss this matter with Dave Magnuson.
