APPROVE AMENDED SPECIAL USE PERMIT (ASUP 01-01)/14327 7th A VE./RELIANT ENERGY l\Ul"NEGASCO John Heer, Reliant Energy Minnegasco - noted that they have operated a peak shaving facility at this site for the last 30 years and they would like to upgrade it by adding 3 new propane storage tanks, new buildings and the removal of the existing building, additional gas & fIre detection equipment and remote monitoring equipment The landscaping will also be improved. On extremely cold days the pipelines are being run at capacity and this facility is then turned on to serve their customers. Because the facility is only needed a few times each year it is more cost effective to upgrade this facility than to build a big facility. Reliant Energy Minnegasco has 10 of these facilities in the state. The largest is in Burnsville, there is one in Mankato, one in Coon Rapids and one in Alexandria. Regular City Council Meeting February 6, 2001 - Minutes Page 3 Council questioned where the new tanks will be placed. Mr. Heer explained that they will be on the western portion of the property. The tanks were not proposed to be painted as the proposal is that they will be mounded and very little of them will be able to be seen. There will also be landscaping around them. Once the project is [mished it will look like grassland, additional landscaping will be done along 7th A venue and along the houses. Northern Natural Gas has agreed to work with them to reduce the noise. He also noted that the items stored on the property at this time will be removed. Dave Carlberg explained that this will go through a commercial site plan process at which time the road going into the property will be reviewed by the Fire Chief, and the grading and landscape plans will also be reviewed. There will also be a watershed review process with a permit being obtained from the Lower Rum River Management Organization. Rosella Sonstebv. 4151 - 14151 A venue NW - reiterated her comments made at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting regarding this item, noting that she would not oppose the project ifher property were still zoned commercial. Ms. Sonsteby objected to the fact that there is 600 - 700 feet between the storage facility and Dehn's Addition and they will have a berm and trees so they don't have to look at the tanks and that there will be nothing between her property and the facility. Motion by Jacobson, seconded by Knight to move the resolution with the following changes and additions: Item #4 - The temporary parking of semi trailers and other similar vehicles, storage of equipment and material on site shall cease immediately. And when we use the word immediately we mean within a reasonable period of time, not years. Item #7 - The agreement on the trail as recommended by the Park and Recreation Commission in their letter dated February 2, 2001, which they have agreed to. Item #8- Subject to the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization approval of the plan for water and drainage. Item #9 - Subject to the approval of a commercial site plan for plantings and screening of the facility. (Resolution 019-01) Motion carried on a 3-yes (Jacobson, Knight, Gamache), 2-absent (Orttel Trude) vote. DISCUSS WATER AND SEWER BILLING SERVICE SURVEY Councilmember Jacobson stated that he has a conflict of interest so he will not be participating in the discussion. Mr. Dickinson reviewed the survey results which indicate that 35% of the customers would like to see Customer Choice Billing. He asked if that is enough ofa percentage to Regular City Council Meeting February 6, 2001 - Minutes Page 4 pursue this further. The cost could be up to as much as 50 cents; however, with 35% it would be 20-25 cents. It was agreed to table this to the next meeting when more councilmembers will be present. Motion by Knight, seconded by Gamache to table the discussion on the water and sewer billing service survey to the February 20th meeting. Motion carried on a 2-yes (Knight, Gamache), I-abstain (Jacobson), 2-absent (Orttel, Trude) vote. ORDER CONOEMNATION/OI-2ÆVELAND PROPERTY/BALLFIELD FACILITY Mr. Carlberg explained that this involves development of three ballfields at the new high school and Council needs to order the condemnation so the property will be ready to be seeded by August. City Attorney Hawkins noted that we normally can get these done in 90 days. With a right of entry we don't need to do a quick taking. Councilmember Knight stated that it will be much more economical if we can piggyback this onto the high school contract. Motion by Knight, seconded by Jacobson to move the resolution. (Resolution R020-01). Motion carried on a 3-yes (Knight, Jacobson, Gamache), 2-absent (Orttel, Trude) vote. ORDER PLANS AND SPECS/OI-2/BALLFIELD FACILITY (WEST OF HIGH SCHOOL) Motion by Jacobson, seconded by Knight to approve the resolution. (Resolution 021-0 I). Motion carried on a 3-yes (Jacobson, Knight, Gamache), 2-absent (Orttel, Trude) vote. APPROVE REVISED RESOLUTION ADJUSTING PUBLIC HEARING OA TE/00-29/LAKEVIEW TERRACE AND ADJOINING AREAS Motion by Jacobson, seconded by Knight to move the resolution changing the public hearing to April 3, 2001. (Resolution 022-01). Motion carried on a 3-yes (Jacobson, Knight, Gamache), 2-absent (Orttel, Trude) vote.

There would be a cost savings of about 510,000. Motion by Jacobson, seconded by Knight that staff check with the cities being served by this individual to see if there are any complaints with the holding capacity or facility and bring a contract back to the next meeting. Motion carried. Mr. Carlberg stated that there will be a meeting on February 20th in Blaine for all cities in Anoka County that were using the North Metro Humane Society and we will have representation at that meeting. APPOINT JOINT LAW ENFORCEMENT COUNCIL MEMBER Mayor Gamache noted that he and Don Jacobson attended two meetings on this, one with the Sheriff and one with the Joint Law Enforcement Council. Sheriff Podany has asked Andover and Ham Lake to appoint a representative to attend these meetings. Motion by Jacobson, seconded by Knight to appoint Mayor Gamache to the Joint Law Enforcement Council. Motion carried on a 3-yes (Jacobson, Knight, Gamache), 2-absent (Orttel, Trude) vote.
