(Amended Special Use Permit/Grace Lutheran Church. ContInued)
Jav Blake. VIce Chair. BulldlnQ CommIttee. Grace Lutheran Church -
stated the church Is faced with the possIbIlity of having to connect
to municipal water as well as meeting all other requirements. The
Church has alreadY budgeted the costs of the sprInklIng system. but
the cost to connect to munIcIpal water Is estImated to be $25,000 to
$30.000 based on the water area and connectIon charges. That places a
straIn on theIr budget. To avoId that additional cost, the Church Is j
suggestIng they utIlIze theIr exIstIng well as well as construct a
resevolr system on sIte. A parIshIoner has agreed to donate the
constructIon of that resevolr. OptIons are beIng explored wIth Dave
Almgren, BuIldIng OffIcIal. They are tryIng to brIng the entire
buIldIng up to CIty code. IncludIng the curbing. parkIng lot. and
landscapIng. Mr. Blake also stated they receIved no calls from
neIghboring resIdents regarding theIr proposal.
The Counc II felt that the water connectIon Is not a part of the
Amended SpecIal Use PermIt request. and that the Church should
contInue workIng with the CIty Staff to resolve the matter.
Dale GelllnQ. 3432 136th Lane - stated he dId not get a notIce on
the request. The only letter he receIved was about a development In
SectIon 12 on the northeast corner. He does not like the proposed
road comIng through between Bunker Lake Boulevard and 136th. The
resIdents do not want the addItIonal traffIc through theIr
neIghborhood. He would lIke that Item dIscussed agaIn.
Mayor Orttel stated that Item was discussed, though no decIsIons have
been made. There Is an access problem to the Church whIch stIlI needs .,
to be resolved; however, the road connectIon Is not a part of thIs
request.
Attorney Burke then stated that because the property owners wIthIn 350 "
feet of the sIte were sent publIc hearing notIces and It was publIshed .
per the legal requIrements, It was recognIzed that a publIc hearIng
was beIng held. The mistake on the hearIng date beIng September 24.
1991, Is an obvIous one. The remaInder of the notIce Is clear that It
Is for an addItion onto Grace Lutheran Church. Because the resIdents
were made aware of the Issue and there were no comments made. Attorney
Burke felt due process was served. The Council may choose to hold
another hearIng. but he dIdn't feel It Is requIred. Counc II chose
not to rehold the hearing.
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by SmIth. the Resolution granting the
Amended SpecIal Use PermIt request of Grace Lutheran Church to allow
for the constructIon of an addlton to the church at 13655 Round Lake
Boulevard, as presented. (See ResolutIon R021-92) MotIon carrIed
unanImously.

APPROVE HOLMBERG ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT
M~. Haas reviewed the p~oposed p~ellmlna~y plat of Holmberg AddItion
located off Ward Lake D~lve In the vicinity of 170th. The development
consists of seven sIngle family ~ural residential lots. The Planning
Commlslon Is ~ecommendlng approval with the two va~lances noted.
The Park CommIssIon Is ~ecommendlng cash In lieu of land fo~ park
dedicatIon. The~e was no publIc Input at the hea~lng.
Discussion was on the fill requI~ed fo~ Lot 1. Mr. Haas explaIned the
develope~'s engineer feels there Is enough dIrt on the p~operty to
fl I I that area. Mayor OrtteI stated It looke lIke It Ie not fIllIng In
a swamp to place a house, but It Is fIllIng for protectIon agaInst the
flood In the wet area and to meet the 39,000 square-foot ~equI~ement.
MOTION by Perry, Seconded by SmIth, the Resolution approvIng the
p~elImlnary plat of Holmberg AddItion ae beIng developed by Wayne
Holmbe~g located In SectIon 12, Township 32, Range 24, Anoka County as
presented. (See ResolutIon R022-92) MotIon car~led unanImouslY.
MINOR AMENDMENT TO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN/ASHFORD DEVELOPMENT
M~. Carlberg explaIned Jer~y WIndechltl, Ashford Development, Is
requesting the City prepare a MInor Amendment to the Comp~ehensIve
Plan to Include 31 acres In Weyb~Idge Into the MUSA. Because the
CIty's ComprehensIve Plan Is etlll not wIthin the 90-day review perIod
by the MetropolItan Council, the developer feels he wIll be able to
begIn const~uctlon soone~ than by waitIng for the entIre plan to be
app~oved. He thought a Mlno~ Amendment of thIs sIze would be a
60-day review process. The developer has agreed to pay all expensee.
CouncIlmembe~ Per~y stated she felt the InItIal 13 lots ~equested Is a
mlno~ amendment, but 31 acres Ie not. If thIs Ie done for Mr.
WIndschltl, she expected many othe~ develope~s to be makIng the same
request. She also dIdn't feel It Is good plannIng to be submittIng
these MInor Amendmente fo~ expedIence, which may be ~ecelvIng less
sc~utlnY, whIle the main plan Is under consIde~atIon.
Mayor O~ttel stated the problem Isn't Just one of expedience versus
the no~aml revIew p~ocess. The City used the Met CouncIl fIgures when
doing Its T~ansportatIon Chapte~, whIch It was ~equI~ed to do; and now
they are saying It Is wrong, wantIng ue to ~edo the Chapte~. Because
of the delays, the City may lose a const~uctIon season. He expressed
frust~atlon at the actions and mlsJustlce of the Met~opolltan Council
Staff. The Met Counc I I can also hold up the p~ocees any time wIthIn
the 90-day revIew process, so It could be some tIme before the CIty
has an app~oved Plan. Because of that, he didn't know why the City
shouldn't allow the develope~s to eubmIt the Minor Amendments.

<MInor Amendment to ComprehensIve Plan/Ashford Development, ContInued)
Mr. DavIdson estImated the TransportatIon Chapter wIll be ready to
delIver to the MetropolItan Council wIthIn two weeks. Mr. Carlberg
was of the understandIng from talking to Met CouncIl Staff that the
90-day revIew period would begIn once that Chapter Is receIved.
Counc 1 I expressed concern over the rise In housIng starts this year
and the untImely manner In whIch the Met Council Is dealIng wIth the
City's ComprehensIve Plan. If the Met CouncIl doesn't feel the
expedited process Is proper, they should realize It Is because of
theIr handlIng of the maIn Comp Plan for the CIty. After further
dIscussIon, It was agreed a letter should be sent to the Met CouncIl
and Its ChaIr that the CIty wIll not submit MInor Amendments to the
Plan If they wIll hold to the 90-day revIew perIod. The MInor Amend-
ment requested by Mr. WIndschltl will not be started at thIs tIme, but
the Council wIshed to know the status of the Plan at the next meetIng.
HILLS OF BUNKER LAKE WEST PARK POND DREDGING
Mr. Haas stated the Park Board Is Interested In Tony Emmerich's
proposal to dredge an area In Hills of Bunker Lake West park pond.
Tonv EmmerIch - stated the pond will be deepened and widened. It
has to be done whIle the ground Is frozen, wIthIn the next month.
There wIll be the typical slope on the banks. Some of the soIl
removed will be used for landscapIng around the pond; some wIll be
used as dressIng on lots.
Counc I I expressed some concern over the lIabIlIty of a deeper pond,
though I t Is sImIlar to the many other ponds eIther on City property
or for storm draInage. Mr. DavIdson stated the deepenIng and wIdening
of the pond was part of the orIgInal gradIng plan for the HIlls of
Bunker Lake. It wasn't done at that tIme because the Park Board
protested. The pond wIll serve as a protection to the IOO-year flood,
plus It provIdes a skatIng facIlIty In the park. It wIll not dlmlsh
the sIze of the orIgInal park nor reduce the amount of usable park.
MOTION by Perry, Seconded by Jacobson, that the CIty Council approve
the request by Tony EmmerIch, developer of the HIlls of Bunker Lake,
to complete the dredgIng of an area as designated on the orIginal
gradIng plan In the HIlls of Bunker Lake West park; that as this
process contInues, CIty Staff do on-goIng Inspectons to Insure
compliance wIth the gradIng plans; and that the CIty Attorney prepare
a development agreement whIch Includes a stipulation that the work be
completed wIthIn a four-month perIod. Motion carrIed unanimously.

TRUNK SEWER EXTENSIONS
Mr. Davidson outlIned th~ee alternatives to p~ovlde sewe~ capacIty fo~
the 2 1/2-ac~e lot development area no~th of Andove~ Bouleva~d and
east of the Burlington Rall~oad t~acks (Ba~nes RoIling Oaks and
smith's RoIling Oaks). Alte~nate A, taking the main t~unk th~ough the
low a~eas, Is the least expensive.
The Counc II noted that In the past the ~esldents of that a~ea have
stated they wIsh to ~emaln ~u~al and we~e ve~y opposed to the concept
of sanlta~y sewe~. Also, the subdivision of 2 1/2-ac~e lots Is
diffIcult and costly.
Because of the position of the ~esIdents p~evIousIy, CouncIl chose not
to hold an Info~matlonaI meeting at this time. Mr. Davidson stated
the t~unk will be built to the ~all~oad t~acks In the Weyb~ldge plat
at Its maximum depth, which Is about 17 feet deep at that point. At
the time the p~ope~ty east of the t~acks develops, the Item can be
~evlewed agaIn. The piece of t~unk to the t~acks wIll cost about
$38,000, whIch wIll be the City's sha~e In the Weyb~ldge project.
UTILITIES EXPANSION/NIGHTENGALE
M~. Davidson asked If the Council wished to meet with the ~esldents
along Nightengale ~ega~dlng the potential se~vlce of sanlta~y sewe~.

within the next month to meet with potentially affected residents.

wlthd~awn due to an e~~o~ and that wlthd~awal was accepted by the
Council; and that the bid of B~own & C~ls, Inc., did not acknowledge
~ecelpt of the addendum to the bids and addended p~oposal fo~ms we~e

(App.ove Fi.e Depa.tment Election Results, Continued)
Councilmembe. Jacobson stated the tapes of the Safety Committee
meeting a.e ve.y Inaudible and felt it wI I I not be wo.thwhlle to have
them t.ansc.ibed. Mayor O.ttel p.efe.red that M~. Smith .emain as
ChIef. although he stated he unde.stands the decIsIon to resIgn.
DIscussion was on the p~ocedu.e fo. havIng anothe. election. CaptaIn .
.'¡
Jim Ple.son unde.stood if the cu..ent Assistant Chief Is voted as

would accept nominations and vote for that positIon that same evenIng.

Assistant ChIef, Dale Mashuga and Sec.eta.y, David Szypllnskl. Motl on
ca..led unanimously.
Mayo. O.ttel stated when the Fi.e Depa.tment was fo.med, they we.e
IntentIonally excluded f.om being a depa.tment unde. the City
Admlnlst.ato.. It has become the biggest depa.tment in the CIty and
Is stl I I ope.ating outside the day-to-day admlnlst.ation of the City
Staff . He suggested placIng them unde~ the dl.ection of the CIty
Administ.ator, thinking it would help with administering those items
which City Staff requl.es; plus the.e would be a mo.e clea.ly defined
method fo~ .esolvlng dIsputes. Most othe. cities a.e set up in that
manne.. The Intent is not to get Involved with the fl.e fighting
aspects, but to cla.ify procedu.es and to handle administ.ative Items
th.ough the Adminlst.ato.'s offIce. Council ag.eed to walt for the
.epo.t of the Committee before discussing It fu.ther.
Mayo. O.tte I raised the Issue of any disclplina.y actIon against the
person who b.ought the Info.mation to the Public Safety Committee. He
thought any actIon would be p.ematu.e and unJustified, at I east until

Depa.tment has issued an o.der to that individual to go to counselIng

any actIon be held up fo. the next few weeks. Councllmembe~ Jacobson
was not awa.e of the o.de., but he too unde.stood that the
dlsag~eement between the two Individuals was to be medIated.
Regular CIty CouncIl MeetIng

Page 8
(Approve FIre Department ElectIon Results, ContInued)
Bob DIllon. Former Flreflahter - read a prepared statement to the
Counc I I relatIng hIs past experIence wIth the Department and CouncIl
because polIcy was not beIng voted on per Robert's Rules of Order.
The results of that actIon wIll be noted when a comparIson Is done on
the ISO reports from 1985 and the next one. Mr. DIllon alleged now
there are inuendos or "sour grapes" by a defeated candidate In an
attempt to override the vote of the Department. He felt it is
unconsciousable for the Council to participate In this witch hunt,
feeling they should show their support In the the ability of the
Department to make Its own decisions. He went on to state hIs opInIon
regarding the use of Robert's Rules of Order to resolve the Issues.
Councllmember McKelvey responded that he has not receIved Minutes of
the Department and wIll not vote on the offIcers until he sees the
MInutes of what happened at the meetIng. Mayor Orttel felt that
placIng the Department under the directIon of the CIty Administrator
would alleviate many of those types of problems.
Discussion returned to the Issue of the disciplinary action. Captain
JIm Pierson stated the offIcers found he vIolated the personnel
standards and unanimously voted to issue the order. It had nothing to
do with approaching the PublIc Safety CommIttee. They found some of
the statements made to be unJustifIed. He asked If the Council Is
takIng away the ActIng ChIef's authorIty to do that. CaptaIn PIerson
stated the IndIvIdual told hIm he thought the order was one-sIded and
unjustIfIed but that he would be wIllIng to go to mediatIon.
Councllmember McKelvey also stated he was told the IndIvIdual would be
wIllIng to go to medIatIon. The Issue 15 the order to go to counselIng
hImself . that It would remaIn In hIs fIle; and a response needed to be
made by today. McKelvey stated In hIs InvestIgatIon. one or two
statements were found to be false, some were minor. some are stilI
beIng checked; however. most were found to be true. He would lIke the
order rescinded and both partIes Involved to go to medIatIon. Mayor
Orttel agreed that no action should be taken, at least untIl some of
the issues have been resolved.
CaptaIn PIerson stated he wIll make that known to the ActIng ChIef.
Counc II also agreed to hear the report of the PublIc Safety CommIttee
at the next meeting and discuss the possblllty of placing the
Department under the JurisdictIon of the City AdmInistrator.
