It is recommended that Items 4c,4d, and 4e be discussed under a single item inasmuch as they do tie together. Item No. 4a - Cable TV/Franchise Ordinance You have received copies of the proposed Franchise/Ordinance. Included in this Agenda Packet are some changes/corrections made as a result of the last meeting with the Teleprompter people and our Cable Attorney. These are to be substituted for those pages in the copy you received 4/6/82. As soon as all the cities adopt this ordinance (month of April) , work can begin on the system. A motion is needed to adopt the Franchise/Ordinance; including authorization for the Mayor and Clerk to execute the Franchise on behalf of the City. Item No. 4b - Rum River Crossing Commissioner Fields will be present to discuss the project with the Council and to cover the progress to-date. Several minor changes have been made and scheduling changed since this was discussed three years ago. Mr. Fields wishes to bring the City current on the status. Item No. 4c - Good Value Homes Special Use Permit Enclosed is the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation for approval of the request. Attorney Hawkins is preparing the Special Use Permit allowing for the construction of the homes other than the single family. This is required for the development of a PUD, in which the zoning is not changed, but the SUP allows for development in addition to single family. Item No. 4d - Good Value Homes/Northglen II Preliminary Plat Attached is the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation for approval of the Preliminary Plat. The copies of the map include the changes requested by the Commission. Also attached is the Park Board recommendation for parkland dedication. A resolution will be prepared for approval. Agenda Information April 20, 1982 Page 2 Item No. 4d - Good Value/Northglen II Preliminary Plat (continued) As part of the plat development, Good Value has presented a petition for the improvement of sewer, water, streets w/curb & gutter. Enclosed is a resolution directing TKDA to prepare the required Feasibility Report for those improvements. Item No. 4e - Good Value Homes Variance Attached is the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation for approval to allow a variance from the provisions of Ordinance No. 10, Section 9.01 which requires a developer to plat all contiguous property. Northglen II is only 23.5 acres of the total area owned by Good Value. The Resolution approving the Preliminary Plat includes this variance. Item No. 4f - Ken Slyzuk Variance Attached is the Planning and Zoning recommendation for approval of the variance request of Ken Slyzuk to construct an addition to a non- conforming structure. A resolution is prepared granting approval. If the Council has a problem with the natural colored cement block being in conflict with the ordinance, a solution might be to require the applicant to paint the block. Item No. 4g - Ordinance No. 8 - Basement Requirements Attached is the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation to leave the ordinance as it now exists, i.e., not require the installation of basements. If the Council wishes to pursue such a requirement, a directive should be given for the staff to prepare the necessary ordinance. Item No. 4h - Ordinance No. 8 - Setbacks This item was inadvertently missed on the April 6 Agenda. The Council may wish to discuss this item in conjunction with the April 22 Meeting on State Aid Highways/Assessment Policy. Item No. 4i - Ordinance No. 10 - Street Classifications See Item No. 4h. Item No. 5a - Public Works Employee The decision on this item has been delayed awaiting word from the State Department of Revenue on the amount of 1983 cut in Homestead Credit. They were contacted today, therefore, we do have the estimated amount now; it is $11,500.00. We do have a carry-over balance of approximately $70,000 from 1981, and as a result, could hire someone. We have also requested two (2) Summer Youth CETA people, however, have not heard anything to-date. Item No. 5b - Attendance/Planning Meeting A workshop covering the drafting of ordinances is being conducted on April 28 by the GTS. The workshop is for four hours with a fee of $20.00. The p&Z Chairman should attend, as well as a staff person. Agenda Information April 20, 1982 Page 3 rtem No. 5c - Proclamation/Be Kind to Animals Week A motion should be made indicating the City of Andover proclaims and supports the first week in Mayas the "Be Kind to Animals Week". Item No. 5d - Set Date/Review Enterprise Funds Budget At the April 6, 1982 Meeting, you received copies of the proposed Budget. Inasmuch as the discussion could get quite lengthy, a special meeting should probably be set. The next regular meeting contains several items from the P&Z as well as a number of other discussion matters, SO I would not think there would be time at that meeting. Item No. 7 - Approval of Minutes March 2, March 11, March 16, April 6, April 12 ~ o¿ ANDOVER REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - APRIL 20, 1982 MINUTES The Regular Bi-Monthly Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by Mayor Jerry Windschitl on April 20, 1982, 7:30 p.m., at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Anoka, Minnesota. Councilmen present: Jacobson, Lachinski, Orttel, Peach (arrived at 8 p.m.) Councilmen absent: None Also present: City Attorney, William G. Hawkins; City Engineer, James Schrantz; City Clerk, P. K. Lindquist; and others RESIDENT FORUr~ Steve Wood, 3723 l45th Avenue NW, Auditor's Subdivision 82 - since the street ìmprovements have been put in, their streets have not yet been cleaned. There was discussion at the original hearings of keeping the sanitary sewers clean and the lake quality clean by a regular maintenance program, and he wondered when and how often this would be done. Last fall Mark Schumacher of TKDA indicated the contractor is responsible for the first cleaning, and that was never done. Discussion noted the City contracts with the City of Anoka to sweep the City streets once a year, and it is done all at once. It should be done around the First of May. It is the con- tractor's liability for the restoration of the boulevards and cleaning it up. Mr. Schrantz was directed to investigate this item further. Mr. Wood - asked if the Council has any plans of creating public park space around Auditor's Sub. 82. Mayor Windschitl stated it will be discussed this evening in connection with the Good Value Northglen II plat. Mel Litke, 14358 Underclift - is president of the newly formed Andover Jaycees and stated they are looklng for a meeting place within the City limits. Bill LeFebvre, Park Board Chairman, is also a member of the Jaycees and has a key to the City Hall. They are desiring to set up a schedule to meet at the City Hall on Wednesdays, and they will work with the Clerk on this. Sandy McDonald, 14426 Vintage, Auditor's Subdivision 82 - has talked to several neighbors, and they are wondering why people with the same footages have received different assessments. Discussion noted that the calculations are a matter of public record, and she can come to the City Hall during business hours to review those records. It was also noted that one reason for a difference is that some people are still being assessed for the storm sewer project done in 1975. AGENDA APPROVAL MOTION by Jacobson, Sec8nded by Lachinski, the adoption of the Agenda as printed with the addition of 4j, Road Committee, Change of time; 5d, Enterprise Funds; and 4k, Mobile Homes. Motion carried on a 4-yes, l-absent (Peach) vote. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel.to suspend the rules. Motion carried on a 4-yes, l-absent (Peach) vote. CABLE TV/FRANCHISE ORDINANCE There was a brief discussion on the proposed ordinance, noting parts of Andover should be receiving cable TV services late this summer; that the document has been approved by the Quad-City Cable Commission, by the legal counsels for the Commission for each of the cities involved and for Te leprompter; that there is no other group of cities in the United States who have gotten a firm to guarantee their rates for a 15-year period; that Teleprompter has agreed to serve the initial service area within two years and/or any cluster of hÐmes of 40 homes per cable mile; and that all schools and public buildings are provided free hookup. Regular City Council Meeting Apri 1 20, 1982 - ~1inutes Page 2 (Cable TV / Franchise Ordinance, Continued) Mr. Wood - asked how the cable will be run. Councilman Jacobson stated it will be consistent with the utilities in place, both underground and above ground. If in future years above ground utilities are placed underground, the cable lines must also be placed underground. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, the adoption of the franchise to Teleprompter, Inc., for cable television for the City of Andover as presented in the documents initialed by Thomas Creighton of Dunkley and Bennett, which was handed to the City Council on 4-6-82 with incorporation of corrections øf the documents per letter of of Tom Creighton dated April 9, 1982, which indicates corrections on Pages 3, 7, 86, and the addition of Form G, Exhibit B, and page 84; and that we authorize the Mayor, Clerk, and legal counsel to enter into any documents necessary to implement this; and that copies of the executed documents be sent to Creighton, Teleprompter, Inc., and the State Cable Board. Motion carried on a 4-yes, l-absent (Peach) vote. RUM RIVER CROSSING County Commission Chairman Ed Fields and County Engineer Bud Redepenning were present. Commissioner Fields - stated the addition of Mr. Schrantz to the City staff has been very helpful to the County engineers, and they are grateful for the help Mr. Schrantz has given. Commissioner Fields also stated since their public hearing, he has received many calls and letters in support of the bridge crossing, reading a letter from an Andover resident representing the typical response of support he has received. At the moment County Engineer Paul Ruud is in Washington, D.C., in an attempt to obtain federal funds for the bridge construction. Commissioner Fields stated he is in favor of the bridge crossing, but his greatest concern is that of getting the funding necessary. Mayor Windschitl stated the City's concern has not been one of being negative to the bridge crossing, but the question of how the traffic would be handled once it was dumped into Andover. Mr. Redepenning - stated they have been working with the property owners in western Andover that would be affected by the street alignment, which would run easterly from Seventh Avenue beginning in the area of the new hockey arena in Anoka, curving southward and tying into Highway 116. They haven't gotten to the point of road design, but the reason for coming down to 116 is because County Road g south of Bunker Lake Boulevard was upgraded and designed to accommodate four lanes to carry the additional traffi c. The tier of homes just east of Seventh Avenue would front on l4lst to avoid the congestion like that created on Highway in 116 in Anoka. Commissioner Fields also noted there would be a buffer zone between the existing resldential property and the road. Mayor Windschitl asked the County's intent of acquiring the remainder of the right of way through that area to insure the construction of that connector road. Would the attempt be to fund that at the same time the bridge is funded? The difficulty is if an alignment is not chosen at this time, how does the City know what to protect as property in that area is developed? Mr. Redepenning stated the funding probably would be at the same time, but the key at this tlme is the river crossing. They are now in the process of coordinating the public hearing transcript and other materials from different agencies to obtain the overall picture of a preferred alignment, etc. That evaluation should be completed within the next two to four weeks. At this time they do have a proposed alignment in the area going through the Good Value property and the Chutich property. Mayor Windschitl stated that if the decision is made that the bridge crossing will be built, it is encumbent upon the County to also have an alignment through Andover so the easements can be preserved. Commissioner Fields agreed. Regular City Council Meeting April 20, 1982 - Minutes Page 3 (Rum River Crossing, Continued) Mr. Redepenning - stated from a staff point of view the road alignment to County Road 116 will go through whether a bridge is built or not, as he felt the demand will be there for it. He also felt the crossover is an absolute must if the bridge is constructed to disperse traffic. Commissioner Fields also stated he supported the crossover through that area, feeling it would be an excellent way to promote commercial development, etc., although there has been no commitment from the County Board on it. Steve Wood - asked what the purpose of the crossing is, where it goes to, and what volume of-traffic it would handle. Commissioner Fields stated there has definitely been a need for it and it has been a priority of the surrounding cities and the school board for years. As more people move in the northern area, the more demand there is. The bridge would eliminate the need to cross the railroad tracks by emergency vehicles, school buses, etc. There is also approximately 47 buses a day that come from the Ramsey area, go through the City of Anoka, and back up to the Anoka High School, which reults in a substantial amount of extra miles a week traveled. And the concern is also the time lost by emergency vehicles when held up by a passing train. (Councilman Peach arrived at this time, 8 p.m.) Commissioner Fields also stated if the County does not receive federal funding for the crossing, it would not be built at this time. However, the right of ways should be preserved, as he felt the crossing would be constructed some day. Mr. Redepenning also explained the process for the crossing was actually started· around 1972. In 1974 the County Board adopted the thoroughfare plan, which was prepared by an independent firm who also recommended the crossing as a part of the County's thoroughfare system. Mr. Wood - has next to no sympathy for the issue of buses traveling around the Rum River to get to the Anoka High School. On the map he 1 i ves 6 inches from the Anoka High School as opposed to three or four feet from the Blaine High School, and he is in the Blaine High School district. He also felt that the traffic could access Highway 10 via Seventh Avenue rather than carrying the traffic over to County Road g. Commissioner Fields felt that Seventh Avenue is already carrying almost capacity traffic right now. Mayor Windschitl stated his concern is that a road to No. 116 be built which is separated from the residential districts and not end up with the problems created on No. 116 in Anoka. He also asked that the City's concerns be expressed to the County Board as to getting a commitment for the alignment through Andover. GOOD VALUE HOMES' - SPECIAL USE PERMIT (PUD)/NORTHGLEN II PRELIMINARY PLAT/VARIANCE Planning and Zoning Commission Chairperson d'Arcy Bosell reviewed the Commission's recommendation to approve the Special Use Permit for a planned unit development requested by Good Value Homes. The Commission reviewed the proposal as it relates to the property to the north and to the south, and the developer also met with the property owner to the south to determine compatible road systems, uses, etc. Mayor Windschitl stated he did not have the type of house and the floor plan, which should be included in the special use permit resolution. Chairman Bosell stated the Commission did have copies of the floor plans and provided the Mayor with à copy. Attorney Hawkins stated the resolution incorporates plans, and all such plans, including floor plans, can be attached to the resolution and become part of it. Regular City Council Meeting April 20, 1982 - Minutes Page 4 (Good Value Homes, Continued) Chairman Bosell then reviewed the Commission's recommendation to approve the preliminary plat of Northglen II. Council concern was on the location and elevations of the park property. John Peterson of Good Value Homes explained in their discussion with the Park Board it was agreed that all park property would. be above the 870-foot elevation. He also had a drawing showing the location of the park, but noted the exact location is not known because of the uncertainty of the right of way needed by the County through their property. John Uben from Howard Dalberg stated they assisted Good Value Homes in designing the development, and he explained the layout of the almost 80-acre parcel. A major portion of the site is flood plain and the alignment for the new Highway 116 cuts through the property, leaving less than 40 acres of buildable property. Because it is proposed to be platted in stages, the parkland is located in another portion outside the first stage being platted. He explained the road layout, the plat as it relates to the property to the south, the location of the various types of housing, and the open spaces. Setbacks and birming will be done from the new Highway 116 to meet the noise standards, the entire development is linked by a trail system and open spaces interior to both develop- ments, and the park 1s';1òcated in the northwestern portion of the plat but east of the proposed Highway 116. They will not be constructing the pond, but the area in the northern portion of the plat will be used for storm drainage, though it will remain basically a grassy area. Some of the parkland is already above 870 feet,and there is a stockpile of dirt in the area which is proposed to fill the remaining park area to above 870 feet. Mr. Peterson - stated they have worked with the Park Board and the Attorney to get a legal description in that general area. The Mayor stated at such time as the final plat is filed, the exact legal description must be known. Mr. Hawkins also noted that the City must be provided access to that park at this time since the land in the first phase does not include the proposed parkland. That easement could be vacated as the remainder of the land is developed, but the City must have access to it now. Mr. Uben - stated they are dedicating 9 acres at this time, which is the amount for the entire area and much more than what is needed for the first phase. And in working with Mr. Hand, it may be possible for his park dedication fees to be used for that park improvement. Good Value Homes will provide all the easements necessary to satisfy the City. If the new road would not be developed in the next five or six years, they would ask the City to allow them to develop that property, and they could have a temporary access to the street in Anoka. They don't yet know what they will do with the severed land to the west of the proposed Highway 116, as many problems are created if that area is severed. Steve Wood - stated from a user standpoint, even considering the final package, the publlC access to the park is off a 55 mph highway. For people living to the north and east of that, the access is not particularly good or obvious. And it is not good for children on bicycles who can come from Auditor's Sub. 82 or the homes across Round Lake Boulevard. Mr. Uben stated unless the County builds a bike trail, they would not want children blklng in from other neighborhoods. Good Value has provided their own trail system that is separated inside the birms for the people from that development to get to the park. Mr. Peterson stated the Park Board wanted a large park, and their alternatives were to put lt in the middle of the subdivision, to put it where they are proposing, or to dedicate cash in lieu of land and allow the City to purchase land in the area to develop a park. Mayor Windschitl felt that because of the high density factor, a park is necessary in the development. Regular City Council Meeting April 20, 1982 - Minutes Page 5 (Good Value Homes, Continued) When discussing the density, Mr. Uben stated in looking at the gross density, they total three units per acre. The idea of a planned unit development is to consolidate the density and leave significant amounts of open space. Bill LeFebvre, Park Board Chairman, stated the park in a development is not necessarily to serve the entire City. This park is designed to serve the Northglen II area, the Hand property to the south, and the existing property along l39th south to Bunker Lake Bouelvard. Also, if the property to the north is developed in the future, the park could be expanded. In looking at Auditor's Sub. 82, the Park Board is looking into several ideas to serve that area with parkland. Discussion again noted that Mr. Hand and Good Value Homes worked together to coordinate the two developments, and that it was agreed that Good Value Homes would donate the land for its development. At such time as Mr. Hand develops his property, he would dedicate either improvements or cash in lieu of parkland, and that cash could be used to upgrade the parkland in Northglen II. Mr. Schrantz suggested the City have the drawing of the two areas for the City's records. Discussion was on the nine acres of park dedication at this time, with Mr. Uben explaining the development is a PUD and it should be understood the nine acres is for the entire PUD, not just for the first phase. There was some discussion as to the mechanics of dedicating the entire nine acres at this time in light of future changes of Councilmembers, changes in ordinances, etc. Attorney Hawkins stated the 9-acre park dedication at this time is for the entire 80 acres, and it is an agreement between the City and the developer. Any ordinance changes in the future would then not affect that agreement. There was also the question of encumbering future councils with a concept agreement with a developer. Mr. Uben stated usually for PUDs - the City would approve the concept and the first phase of the development, which then becomes a binding contract between the developer and the City. By dedicating the land up front, he didn't think the developer is loosing anything. Though if there would be some changes in the ordinance, they might have to increase the amount of park dedication. Councilman 'Jacobson noted that because the City's Comprehensive Plan has not yet been approved by the Metropolitan Council, the request to extend sanitary sewer into the development can be denied. He was also concerned with the private street in the development, noting problems he has heard about such streets in other communities. Mr. Uben explained the reasons for designating Northglen Parkway as a private street. If the City would be willing to accept other than the normal street configuration, they would have no problem with designating it a public street. After further discussion, it was generally agreed by the Council that Northglen Parkway should be a public dedicated road and to give the developer the flexibility in the street design rather than accept a private street. Other points brought out were part of the six-plex in the First Addition is shown as below 870, but the Building Inspector would have the responsibility of seeing that the buildings have adequate footings. Mr. Uben also noted that usually in a PUD the lot is under common ownership and easements for a trail system is not shown, because in essence the common use of the entire lot is the trail system. They could dedicate an easement along the portion common to the Hand property. Attorney Hawkins again noted that all plans agreed to should be dated and attached to the Resolution. Duane Olson - stated the preliminary grading plan that has been submitted is purely preliminary. All the peat will be removed and structural areas prepared and certified prior to the commencement of construction on the development. The grading will be done up front along with the filling on the park property, and the City Engineer will be receiving the final documents on it. The elevations shown are the sewer elevations. Regular City Council Meeting April 20, 1982 - Minutes Page 6 (Good Value Homes, Continued) Also, they will be affecting a dirt balance on the project. Councilman Orttel was concerned that it appears the street and structural elevations are shown as being higher than existing elevations. He also felt it detracts from the appearance to construct a building on ground level and fill in dirt around the building. Discussion also noted that a temporary turnaround requires a l20-foot easement, but only 60 feet is shown on the preliminary plat. Also, the City normally requires some security that the parkland will be filed or that the plat not be finalized unti 1 it is done. Mr. Olson felt the park could be filled during the first phase. riscussion was on the ownership of the green area in the northern area of the plat. Mr. Uben felt that it would be tied to one set of buildin9S. Mr. Hawkins advised the City would have a drainage easement across that land which would give the City the right to maintain it for drainage purposes. Anything outside that would be maintained by the Homeowner's Association. It was generally felt that other than the drainage easement, the property should remain privately owned. Mr. Olson also stated they have talked with the property Owner to the north relative to her concerns of excess drainage onto her property. He stated the development is of 23 acres in the first phase, with a total of close to 40 acres to be developed; and the runoff from the development of the first phase is about 2.35 acre feet, which amounts to only inches. There is presently an effective dike all the way across the north property line which now retains the water on Good Value Home's side of the development. There will only be a small percentage of runoff on the developed part, and it is in a watershed that has always been contributory to this. This development would not put any water on the property to the north with the exception of possibly extreme flooding that would overflow that existing dike. Mr. Schrantz agreed with Mr. Olson. Council agreed to postpone action until Tuesday, April 27, and that the following concerns be complied with prior to that time: the question of the private street shown on the preliminary plat; the access to the park; the temporary turnaround on the end of l40th Avenue; the cut and fill work and the topography of the park; and tying· the floor plans to the special use permit. Mr. Peterson requested permission to build a quad-home as their model home, which is technically four building permits. The Council generally had no problem with approving a building permit for a quad-home to be used as a model home in the development, as the idea is to allow the construction of one structure. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Lachinski, that we move the Good Value Special Use Permlt, of Northglen Second Addition Preliminary Plat and the Good Value Homes Variance for contiguous property to a meeting of the Council on Tuesday, the 27th of April at 7:30, and set for the same date the meeting of the full Council and Road Committee. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Peach, a Resolution accepting petition and order feaslbility report for the improvement of sanitary sewer, public water, bituminous streets with curb and gutter, and .storm sewer for the proposed Northglen II Addition, the City of Andover, as presented by staff. (See Resolution R16-82) ~10tion carried unanimous ly. KEN SLYZUK VARIANCE Chairman Bosell reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve a variance request of Ken Slyzuk to construct an addition to a non-conforming structure. Regular City Council Meeting April 20, 1982 - Minutes Page 7 (Ken Slyzuk Variance, Continued) MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Peach, approving the variance request by Kenneth Slyzuk of 14124 Crosstown Boulevard NW for the property described as 15211 Nightengale Street, pursuant to Ordinance 8, Section 6.02¡ the variance is for varying from the minimum setback requirements so that he can add onto the existing warehouse at that location for the reasons cited by the Planning and Zoning Commission, and also that the Council concurs with the recommendation that the plain cement block be used instead of painted rather than require the strict letter of the ordinance. (See Resolution R17-82) Motion carried unanimously. Recess at 9:35; reconvene at 9:46 p.m. ORDINANCE NO.8, SECTION 6.02 (BASEMENT REQUIREMENT) Planning Commission recommendation was to make no change to the ordinance. Commissioner Don Spotts explained all the communities he contacted do not have an ordinance requiring basements or half-basements under new housing. And in several communities both multi-family dwellings and single residential units are being constructed, all of which are at grade level. Requiring basements could be restrictive to senior citizens because it would increase the cost of housing and because of having to go up and down stairs. And it could be restrictive to first-time home buyers because of the increased cost. The Commission also found the safest place to go in severe weather is the smallest, most compact room in the house and that other areas of the country where severe weather occurs generally do not have basements under residential units. Council discussion noted arguments for requiring basements were basically for severe weather protection and storage space. Arguments for allowing slab-on-grade housing were that footings are required for all residential units in the State, that the state of the art in construction today is without basements, that the solar heating concept is to have a slab floor, plus the question of the City's right to legislate such policy. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Peach, that we accept the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission on Ordinance 8, Section 6.02, on basements and require no additional change to the ordinance. Motion carried unanimously. ORDINANCE 8 AND 10 - SETBACKS ALONG THOROUGHFARES AND STREET CLASSIFICATIONS MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Lachinski, items having to do with setbacks along thoroughfares and street classifications in Ordinances 8 and 10 be scheduled for the Road Committee and City Council meeting on April 27. Motion carried unanimously. MOBILE HOME ORDINANCE MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Lachinski, that we discuss mobile and manufactured houslng and the new State law requirements at the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting. Motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC WORKS IV EMPLOYEE The Clerk explained there is approximately $70,000 surplus that is not figured in the 1982 budget. As of today, it is also estimated the City will be cut $11,500 in Homestead Credit from the State. Council discussion was on whether the employee would be permanent or temporary and on an hourly wage. The concern of the Council was whether or not the City would be able to fund the salary of another permanent full-time employee in future years. It was Regular City Council Meeting April 20, 1982 - Minutes Page 8 (Public Works IV Employee, Continued) suggested the position be made permanent part-time with the understanding that a decision would be made at the end of the year whether the position could be funded for another year. MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Peach, that we authorize the City Engineer to hire a permanent part-time employee at a salary not to exceed $5.50 an hour. Motion carried unanimous ly. ATTENDANCE/PLANNING MEETING MOTION by Peach, Seconded by Orttel, that those members of the Planning and Zoning Commlssion, and the City Clerk, and City Engineer be authorized $20 apiece to attend the workshop for the drafting of ordinances. Motion carried unanimously. PROCLAMATION/ANIMAL WEEK MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Jacobson, that we adopt a formal resolution to "Be Kind to Animal Week". Motion carried unanimously. ENTERPRISE FUND MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, that we consider the enterprise funding at th~rst regularly scheduled City Council meeting in the month of May. Motion carried unanimously. COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN (Reference the April 2, 1982, letter from John T. Hoeft, Metropolitan Council Staff, to Bill Hawkins relative to the City's Comprehensive Development Plan). Mayor Windschitl stated the only problem is in paragraph numbered 1, second line, which should say "inside" the urban service district. Mr. Schrantz was directed to draft the agreement with that correction. PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION Chairman LeFebvre reviewed the projects they are considering for this year, which include the clean-up of the boat landing, Pine Hills, and the City Hall site. Discussion was on the sketch plan presented to the Council of the City Hall site. Chairman LeFebvre stated the posts in the existing hockey rink are rotting, and the Rum River Hockey Association and the Jaycees have volunteered to do work on it. After further discussion it was suggested that an area be provided for general recreation skating, that a road and additional parking be provided south of the soccer field behind Public Works, and that some small areas be set aside for one or two tot lots. Mr. Schrantz was directed to draw the plan to scale including those changes suggested. Council suggested one or two soccer fields be built this year. It was also suggested monies be used this year to complete the boat landing park such as adding picnic tables, picnic shelters, grills, some activities for children, etc. Mr. Schrantz stated, he he is doing plans for Pine Hills, and estimated it could cost as much as $7,000 for lime, peat to build up the outfield, fencing, etc. Council generally agreed some soccer and ball fields should be completed this year and that Mr. Schrantz provide the sketches and price estimates to complete the Boat Landing park, Pine Hills, and the City Hall site so the Council can prioritize and authorize the projects.
