TONSON TIRE PILE Fire Chief Bob Pa]meL felt no pLogLess is being made in the Lemova] of the tiLes by Tonson, alleging mOLe tires aLe beIng brought In than aLe taken out. He stated theLe would be no way to get to the bui]dlng if theLe was a fiLe in theLe, suggesting the Council view the aLea. Mr. SchLantz thought things have changed since the Council last consideLed the matteL and was told pLogLess is being made. Counc i I asked fOL a written LepoLt from the staff fOL the June 7 meeting on what is taking place theLe. CONTINUED BOARD OF REVIEW John Leone, Anoka County AssessoL, explained agLeement has been Leached on a I I items except fOL ChaLlie Veiman. He explained the valuation placed on the Veiman pLopeLty by Ed ThuLston fOL the Lecheck is $70,800. The original value was $75,700, and the value placed by the second asseSSOL was $69,500. The land value is $11,700 on the lot plus an additional building site. This is the fiLst time the propeLty has been consideLed two lots. ChaLlle Velman - stated he dlsagLees with all thLee valuations. He stated the basement Is not finished and he didn't believe he could get anotheL lot and still meet the setback LequiLements. -- Special Ci ty Counci I Meetl ng Mal' 24, 1988 - MInutes Page 2 (Continued BoaLd of Review) TheLe was a lengthy discussion on how the valuations weLe arrived at and the causes fOL the laLge IncLease oveL last yeaL. M.. Leone stated theLe could be an additional lot to the south, the land incLeased $2.500, the effective age went fLom 1951 to 1956 which amounted to a 5 peLcent maLkup, the new gaLage added a va]ue of $2,160, the well was IncLeased in value to $1,000, the pOLch was $635, plus the overall adJustment incLease in the county of 5.5 percent on M.. Veiman's house. Counc i I was conceLned that the effective age adJustment and oveLall county increase effectively meant a 10 percent increase in valuation fLom one year to the next, but the housIng market did not incLease by that much. M.. Leone explaIned accoLdlng to the maLket sales, two-stOLl' houses aLe se]]ing fOL mOLe than what they have been valued fOL. M.. Veiman - stated his neighboL's house only incLeased $4,300, while hIs went up $18~000. It is a 50-yeaL-old house with fouL bedrooms, fee II ng theLe Is a very I iml ted maLket fOL that type of house. Councilman OLttel fel t M.. Velman's house Is veLY unique, asking if there aLe otheL houses like it and whetheL they weLe as adversely affected as thIs one was. He was also dlstuLbed with the change In the effective age, thinking items such as Loom layout, the effIciency and type of constLuctlon of homes of that age should be taken Into consideLation. He didn't think they weLe. By changing the effective age, it Is rea]ly changing the depreciation schedule, questioning if that can be changed once it is set. M.. Leone explained the depLeclatlon schedules aLe not set tables. M.. Veiman's house has alLeady been depLeciated 28 years. He didn't know if there weLe otheL homes In the same categoLY as ML. Velman's, stating he would research that fULtheL. Mayor Wlndschi tl suggested holding a meeting with the AssessoL's Office LegaLding the Council's conceLns on the across-the-board incLease and its adveLse affect on AndoveL Lesldents. Counc i I questioned its ability to Leduce the valuation mOLe than the assessor's ) owest amoun t , though they geneLally disagLeed with the aLbitLary IncLeases which effectively incLeased the valuation on thIs PLoperty by mOLe than 10 percent.

MotIon caLrled unanImously. The Continued BoaLd of Review closed at 8:10 p.m. WARD LAKE DRIVE Glen Cook, BRA, explained State Aid will not appLove the T-coLneL on Ward Lake DrIve as proposed, revIewIng the map of a cULved InteLsectlon that would be acceptable. Because of the amount of land and peat area that would have to be gone through, he dIdn't feel that was a feasible alternative to the CIty. Mr. SchLantz suggested the southeLn pOLtlon of the road not be done In thIs pLoJect and that the City go befoLe the State AId BoaLd aSking fOL a vaLIance to be able to constLuct the T-Intersectlon. Mr. Cook explained the State will allow the City to constLuct up to the intersection at this time if the City sends a letteL saying the CULve wIll be constLucted accoLdlng to MSA standards if the vaLlance Is not gLanted. MOTION by OLttel, Seconded by Apel, that we diLect Staff to pLepaLe a letteL to the State Aid RevIew BoaLd stating that should the appeal fOL the alignment of WaLd Lake DLive be denied, that the Council will agLee that if the road is constLucted, it wIll be constLucted to State Aid standards. DISCUSSION: MayoL Windschitl expLessed conceLn that the specs should have been completed and the proJect bid sooneL to avoid delays and late season constLuction. ML. Cook explained they would have had to get the variance for the InteLsectlon ahead of time, thinkIng they aLe stIlI within the pLoposed constructIon schedule. It was agLeed the bids should be moved to June 2 to change the constLuction of the southern pOLtion of WaLd Lake DLlve as a change order. CouncIlmen Orttel ADDED TO THE MOTION: to do the bidding on June 2 Instead of May 27. Second stands. MotIon caLrled unanimously. Special City Council Meeting Mal' 24, 1988 - MInutes Page 4 MAPLE GROVE RESOLUTION/WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLAN ML. SchLantz explained the Metropolitan Council has a new plan and a change in policy of not being InteLested in getting the InteLceptoL thLough Maple GLove to Plymouth. John Davidson of TKDA thought the change In policy would be a pLoblem only fOL those cities that wanted the inteLceptoL ahead of time. Also, once they staLt changing policy, theLe is always the WOLLY that otheL changes will be fOLthcoming. ML. Cook explained they will contLol the service aLea, explaining how the change wIll affect Maple GLove and other cities such as Plymouth, COLcoLan, and Medina. Mr. SchLantz thought a tLunk benefit on the interceptor line wI]] need to be paId by the cIties. MayoL Wlndschltl stated Andover had to pay for the Interceptor. Mr. SchLantz stated he didn't have time to study the situation and was not that familiar with all the affects of the plan. Because the Council felt it did not have enough InformatIon about the matter, no action was taken. RED OAKS 5TH ADDITION MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, that we table the Issue of Red Oaks 5th Addition until we hear from OUL AttoLney at the next Legular CouncIl meeting. Motion carried unanimously. TV RECORDINGS Council agreed to establish a libLaLY system of checking out the video tape of the Council meeting fOL Leview. MayoL Windschitl also noted the fLustration of the Lesidents In new developments because the cable company will not install cable TV while all the otheL utIlities aLe being installed. After the aLea is developed, the cable company comes In to install the lInes.

Because of the great demand for f i I I , CouncIl questIoned having to pal' to have the surchage removed, yet the contLactor Is able to keep the fill. It was felt that someone would want the diLt and would be wIlling to pal' for it OL to remove It at no cost. It was agLeed the Staff and EngIneers should fiLst tLY to sell the material or have It removed at no charge, opting fOL the change oLdeL as pLoposed as a last LesoLt.
