RESIDENT FORUM
Jerrv Windschitl. 3640 152nd'Lane NW - requested time to appeal an
ordinance interpretation made by Staff regarding the location of a
house on a lot. It is an Issue of a 5-foot setback, and he doesn't
believe the Staff is interpreting the ordinance as written. The only
way to meet the Staff's recommendation Is to reduce the sIze of the
house. Counc i I asked the Attorney to review the issue wi th Mr.
Windschitl and agreed to place the item on the Agenda for further
discussion.
Duane ? . Andover Boulevard - heard of an alarming incident that
took p]ace last Saturday evening, ear]y Sunday morning In the vIcinity
of Prairie Road and 158th. A party got out of hand where a co]ored
gang came in. Someone was clubbed. someone was run over by a vehicle.
and guns were pulled. He said 911 was cal led three times before
someone responded. stating this Is extremely alarming. He felt
consideration shou1d be given to changing the Police Department in the
City if necessary. He also felt that people should be made aware of
such incidents, as he only heard about I t third hand. Counc i I was
not aware of the Incident but agreed to look Into It further,
especially to determine the response times and procedures taken.
AGENDA APPROVAL
It was agreed to add the fol lowIng Items: Item 4a, Ordinance

APPROVAL OF MINUTES
September 17. 1991 - Correct as wrItten.
MOTION by Perry, Seconded by Smith, the Minutes of September 17 as
written. Motion carrIed unanimously.
SPECIAL USE PERMIT/NORTH LEXINGTON LANDSCAPING
Chairperson Peek reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to
approve the Specla] Use PermIt to mIne soIl requested by North
Lexington Landscaping. Mr. Haas stated he has not yet inspected the
site, but I t Is expected that Pond 1 will be completed before
beginning in the area of this permit. He also explained the permit is
for a maximum of five years; however, the CI ty issues only a one-year
permi t and application must be made each year. Counc i I asked that the
Resolution be worded to reflect that.
MOTION by Jacobson. Seconded by Smith, a Resolution approving a
SpeciaJ Use Permit requested by North Lexington Landscaping to mine
soi I from the property described as that part of the Southwest 1/4 of
the Southwest 1/4 of Section 11-32-24 as required per Ordinance 8.
Section 4.24, wIth the folJowing changes:
It em 11, the length of the perml t wi II be In one-year increments for a
maximum of five years.
Add Item 12. the permi t is only good if the work on Pond No. 1 is in
complIance wIth what the applicant agreed to when he gained the permit
for It. (See Resolution R145-91) MotIon carried unanlmousJy.
SPECIAL USE PERMIT/ACCESSORY STRUCTURE/17615 ROANOKE STREET NW
Chairperson Peek reviewed the Commission's recommendation to approve a
Special Use Permit requested by John Ewert to construct an accessory
structure on adjacent property prior to the constructIon of a
principal structure. Because of the ScenIc Rum RIver OrdInance, Mr.
Ewert Is not able to construct the accessory structure on the lot of
his princIpal structure. The request is simlJiar to one approved
last month In whIch the owner was required to link the two parcels by
restrictive covenant. The property on whIch the accessory structure
is to be constructed Is approximately 16.5 acres. zoned R-2.
Mr. Carlberg reported the DNR has been contacted and has no probJem
wi th the request. The Counc I ] discussed the optIon of requiring the
two parcels to be combIned sInce they abut each other rather than to
link them by restrictive covenant. The appJIcant was not in
attendance at the meeting; however, Mr. Carlberg reported the
appJicant did not wish to combine the parcels for tax purposes. Mr.
Ewert does have the minimum acreage required for each lot.
'þ- .

(Special Use Permit/Accessory Structure/ 17615 Roanoke, Continued)
Mr. CarJberg stated there is a precedent of a simI1Iar request being
approved on a separate lot adjoining the lot with the principal
structure. CouncIlmember Smith thought Mr. Ewert would be able to
app]y for homestead credIt on the vacant parcel since It Is contIguous
to the lot with the prIncipaJ structure. After further discussion.
the Counc II felt that because the acreage Is suffIcient and there Is
some question about the buIldabIIIty of the vacant lot, that I t Is not
necessary to combine the parcels as long as there is a restrictIve
covenant JInking the use to the exIstIng prlncIpaJ structure on the
adjoining property untl I a principal structure Is built on the lot.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Smith. the ResoJutIon granting the
Special Use PermIt request of John Ewert to construct an accessory on
the property Jocated at 17615 Roanoke Street NW, wIth the change:
It em 1, the properties be linked by restrictive convenant, and that
convenant be approved by the City Attorney prior to fIling and prior
to the issuance of the buIlding permit. (See Resolution R146-91)
Motion carried unanImously.
SPECIAL USE PERMIT/17600 WARD LAKE DRIVE/HOME OCCUPATION
Chairperson Peek reviewed the SpecIal Use PermIt request application
of John Audette to operate a home occupation sharpening busIness in an
accessory structure at 17600 Ward Lake DrIve. The CommIssIon
recommended approval, feeling it qualIfies as a home occupatIon per
the ordinance. However. the accessory structure does not meet the
30-foot sideyard setback required by ordInance, and the CommissIon
felt a sideyard variance would be required. Mr. Audette has made
appJIcation for the varIance and paId the fees.
MOTION by Perry. Seconded by Jacobson. the ResolutIon granting the
Special Use Permit and variance request of John Audette to operate a
home occupation (sharpening service) In an accessory structure
encroaching into the required sIdeyard setback at 17600 Ward Lake
Drive NW, as presented with the foJ lowing change: Item Number 7 be
deleted as a redundant statement and the type of variance that is
beIng approved be incJuded. (See ResoJutIon R147-91) MotIon carried
unanimously.
LOT SPLIT/74 ANDOVER BOULEVARD
Chairperson Peek reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to
approve the lot spIlt request of Troy and Nancy Harris at 74 Andover
Boulevard subject to a one-year sunset clause and the transfer of an
additlonaJ road easement of 27 feet on Andover BouJevard to meet
county requirements of a 60-foot easement. Mayor Orttel noted that
Butternut is an unbuilt street wIth 33 feet of easement. and the
parcel being spilt will front on that street. This would be the
fourth parcel to front on it. specuJatlng the road probably wi I I not
be bu I I t un t i J there is more dense deveJopment.

(Lot Split/74 Andover Boulevard. NW)
MOTION by SmIth. Seconded by McKelvey, the ResolutIon granting the
Jot split request of Troy and Nancy HarrIs to create two parcels
pursuant to Ordinance No. 40 IncludIng the condItions descrIbed In the
Resolution and with reference to the section In the ordInance
regarding the one-year sunset clause. <See Resolution R148-91) Motion
carrIed unanlmous]y.
ORDINANCE INTERPRETATION/WINDSCHITL
Attorney HawkIns explained the issue is the sIdeyard setback from
South Coon Creek Drive on Lot 1 . Block 2, KensIngton Estates. It Is
proposed to be 29.83 feet. Ordinance 8PP states that the sideyard
setback must be 25 feet but has an asterisk Indicating that that
appJies un]ess existing or proposed structures would IndIcate a
different setback to maintain uniformity. The houses on Lots 9
through 12 all have a setback of 35 feet. whIch is the old standard.
The question is whether the setback on Lot 1 shou]d be 35 a]so.
Mr. Hawkins continued that the houses on Lots 9 through 12 front on
South Coon Creek Drive, but Lot 1 wouJd front on 145th Avenue.
Because It doesn't face the same directIon. he didn't feel the
ordinance indIcates It should be a 35-foot setback. Mr. Schrantz
exp]aIned the BuIlding Inspector Interpreted the ordInance as
requIring a 35-foot setback to maintain unIformity In that area. Mr.
Carlberg noted the table In the ordInance was not changed to match the
ordinance change In OrdInance 8PP. The tabl e IndIcates the sIdeyard
should be 35 feet. Mayor Orttel stated the table dIdn't get changed
when the ordInance was amended.
Jerrv Windschltl - reviewed the proposal and showed how the house
would be considerab]y behInd any visual line of sight.
In discussing the matter further. It was noted that the curve In the
road Is a factor. The consensus of the Counc II was that the
provIsIon in the ordInance Is to prohIbIt someone's house from
sticking out In front of the others. the uniformIty applying to the
sight I ine of the houses along the street. It was fe It the
interpretation of the ordinance is a 25-foot sldeyard setback unless a
sight problem wil I be created or it wi II be unattractive to the
neighborhood. With the bend in the road In this case. they didn't feel
there was a problem with the I ine of sight.
MOTION by McKelvey. Seconded by Jacobson. that the sight line of the
houses is the responsible code rather than the distance from the curb
] ine, and that the proposal on the corner of 145th Avenue NW and South
Coon Creek Drive does meet the ordinance. Mot! on carr i ed
unanImously.

GRADING PLAN FOR AREA SOUTH OF WDE SITE
Mayor Orttel reported there Is a 106 Order to clean up the WDE site
whIch Includes some very strict tIme contr01s. The unreso1ved Issues
are those the CIty had agreed to In the City Attorney's letter wrItten
in June. They are asking that the grading plan for fill on the
property just south of the WDE site be approved. The plan 1eaves the
wooded area to the west unexcavated as a buffer from the residential
houses and Is basically the same plan approved earlier th I s year. A
clean-up work plan Is requIred by October 14 and an amended plan done
by the fIrst of the year. It Is hoped the work wIll begIn by Spring.
1992. The Mayor also reported that other tests are stilI needed, but
the though t is also that It may be possIble to pump the groundwater
dir-ectly into the sanitary sewer system without treatment.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by SmIth. that we direct Staff and have
the Mayor sIgn the letter of Intent to the EPA outlIning the City's
general approval wi th the gradIng pJan as presented. identifying the
gradIng plan tor Alternate B. The City would be willing to act on the
mining permit which meets the crIteria of this outline as soon as the
owner of the property applies for said permit. MotIon carried
unanimously.
LETTERS TO EPA/WDE SITE
Mayor Orttel asked for approval to submi t a letter to Fred Bartman,
EPA. that the CIty Council approves the submittIng of an amendment to
the City's Comprehensive Plan to provide sanitary sewer capacity for-
the WDE site IIpumpoutll of effluent In the amount of 60 to 100 gallons
per minute, continuous pumping 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.
He has met wIth the Metropolitan CouncIl and MetropolItan Waste
Control, and It was agreed this would be a very sImplified
Comprehensive Plan amendment because no housing Is Involved. Mayor
Orttel also reported that the Metropolitan Waste ControJ Commission
has stated they wIll shut off any of these pumpouts If It becomes a
problem of capacity for housing, because the system was not desIgned
for any of the pumpouts goIng on now.
The Mayor also reported the payment for the use of the sanitary sewer
system. notIng the change In the MWCC's policy. They wIll now be
charging a fee for groundwater pumpouts Instead of a SAC charge. The
fee Is 30 cents per 1,000 ga1lons. In addition to that. MWCC charges
the City the fu II char-ge that a homeowner would charge. which Is
$1.09/1,000 gallons. So the total cost to the WDE Gr-oup is
considerably more than what was origInally thought. The Group wi I J
need to balance the costs of equIpment to meet the FederaJ discharge
laws to put the pure water Into Coon Creek versus paying the costs of
using the sewer system.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Smith. approva1 to send the letter
as proposed to Fred Bartman, U.S, EPA. MotIon carried unanimously.

CHARTER COMMISSION
The Counc i I discussed the possibIlIty of submItting the name of a
Councilmember to serve on the CommIssion. There are three terms which
expIre on November 3. 1991. and all three members have expressed a
desire to be reappoInted to the CommIssion.
Jerry Windschitl. Chairperson of the Charter CommissIon - reported
the Commission met frequently in the begInnIng but are now meeting
once or twIce a year. The CommissIon researched the issue of a
Charter for the CIty and unanimously agreed that the present system
of government is functIonIng adequately and that there Is no need for
a change. The CommIssIon revIewed Items of sIgnifIcance as they are
brough t up. The other i tern they looked at was establishing a primary
for local eJections. A motIon was made that the City Council use its
power to set up a prImary to elIminate that large number of peopJe
running for only two positIons.
Staff was asked to determine whether the Counc I J has the authorIty to
estabJ ish a JocaJ primary. The Counc I 1 aJso agreed to recommend the
reappointment of the CommIssIoners but to have a lIason from the
Counc I J attend theIr meetIngs.

the folJowIng names to the DIstrict Court Judge for reappoIntment as

LOWER RUM RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION INSURANCE
Mayor Orttel gave the background information relating to insurance for
the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization. He felt the errors
or omission coverage should be available. but he wondered if the
members of the OrganizatIon have that coverage under the City's
insurance as City employees because part of their duties involve their
being a CIty empioyee. That question has not been answered, and he
suggested that be looked Into further. Total protection for the
Organization members would amount to about $700 per City,
After further dIscussion. the Mayor asked for a motIon to support the
proposal from the Lower Rum RIver Water Management OrganIzation for
Insurance.
MOTION by Perry. Seconded by SmIth. to so move. MotIon carried
unanimousJy.
HIRE PUBLIC WORKS EMPLOYEE
MOTION by Perry. Seconded by McKe]vey. the hIring of Chris O]son as

salary of $8.76 per hour with an Increase to be determined after
successfully completIng a six-month probationary perIod. Motion
carried unanImous]y,
ACCEPT STREETS/GENTHON PONDS
Mr. Schrantz reported Staff is recommending the Letter of Credit to
the developer for Genthon Ponds AddItion be reduced to $10,177.
However. there Is a problem with the quality of the streets. noting
the test failures in asphalt thickness. density tests and oil content.
He was very concerned with the streets not meeting the CIty's two-inch
minimum thickness requirement, not knowing how that happened because
the CIty did have an inspector on the job.
a_ .

Minutes - October 1 , 1991

<Accept Streets/Genthon Ponds. Continued)
Mr. Schrantz recommended a solution of requiring a maIntenance bond
from the contractor for two years at 100 percent and a cost sharing
wi th the City 50/50 for the thIrd year. It Is felt that If the road
would break uP. It would be In the first two to three years when the
housIng constructIon Is takIng place. HIs concern Is not wantIng thIs
thickness to become the CIty's new standard.
Uldis ? Buck Blacktop. contractor for the developer - stated the
. bondIng company knows the total value of the Job and wll I give them a
maintenance bond for the tota I amount. He also explained the process
of paving streets pointing out the efforts made so the road wi I I be as
smooth as possible and to meet the specifications. Because the intent
of the paver Is to provide a smooth road. the operator would not
change the thickness of the asphalt In the middle of the job. When
the job was beIng done, the Ci ty Inspector was comfortable with what
was being done. The City's density Is 97 percent, whIch Is hIgher than
the State requirement of 95 percent. Because of the I ight design of
the road. 5 ton. he stated that Increasing the density with greater
compaction would have destroyed the road. He also stated that
normally they are not subject to double jeopardy. If I t Is Inspected
at the time the job Is done, I t Is considered accepted.
Kirk Corson. Hokanson Development. deveJoper of the proiect - stated
he was on site the day the paving was done and talked to the CIty
Inspector. The job was three-fourths done and. the Inspector saId
everything was goIng fine, that the requIrements were beIng met. It
wasn't untIl two weeks after that poInt that he found out there was a
problem. He contended If he was told there was a problem when the job
was beIng done. they would have corrected It Immediately.
The Counc II was concerned that there was a 75 percent failure rate on
the thickness and density tests. and a 10 percent failure on the 011
content. After considerable dIscussIon. the Counc i I dIrected that an
independent fIrm be asked to eIther test the road again or make an
interpretation of the existing data and make a recommendation as to
whether or not the road Is acceptable.
Mr. Corson didn't fee] i t Is his responslbllty to pay for an
independent testing of the thIckness when they relied on the CIty
inspector: however. he wouId be wIlling to pay for the Interpretation
of the density and oiJ tests. The Counc I I agreed to have the
independent firm te I I the City If there were errors made and by whom:
and if there Is some degree of error on the part of the City, the City
will pay that portion of the consultant's fee. It was agreed that
Mr. Corson and the Staff wi I I come to an agreement as to what
independent firm should be selected.

was approached only last week. He was concerned that the water will

He is not willing to have a water problem created.
Jerrv WindschItl - stated he owns the ditch south of the proj ect.
which Is a private dItch. It is In a bad state of repair; and unless
