ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 27, 2016 8 <br /> <br />Interim City Administrator and Director of Finance and Administrative Services Iverson <br />suggested the City Attorney be contacted to see what other options were available to the City to <br />encourage homeowners to pay their utility bills. <br /> <br />The motion carried (5-0). <br /> <br />9. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. Approve Night Work Construction Activity Waiver – Lexington <br />Avenue/County Road F <br /> <br />Acting Public Works Director Anderson stated the concrete paving that is being placed on <br />Lexington Avenue requires sawing of joints to take place within a short period of time as the <br />concrete begins to cure. Typically, the joints need to be sawed within a 6- to 12-hour window and <br />that occurs the night following the paving operations. City ordinance does not allow work to take <br />place between the hours of 9:00 PM and 7:00 AM. City ordinance does allow for a waiver to the <br />Ordinance to allow night time operations. <br /> <br />Acting Public Works Director Anderson explained C.S. McCrossan, the Lexington Avenue/ <br />County Road F contractor, has applied for a waiver to perform night time work following their <br />concrete paving operations. Concrete paving operations will fall into two primary times, the first <br />being the southbound lanes of Lexington Avenue which is planned to begin the week of June 20 <br />and take roughly 10 days. The second paving operation would be the northbound lanes which are <br />expected to take 10 days and occur sometime in late July or early August. County Road F is paved <br />with bituminous pavement and the sawing operations would be limited to Lexington Avenue. <br /> <br />Acting Public Works Director Anderson stated staff prepared a notice and mailed it to all <br />Arden Hills properties within 500 feet of the construction limits. The only residential property <br />within this area is the apartments on County Road F which are a substantial distance from the <br />location of the actual work on Lexington Avenue. As of the preparation of this memo, City staff <br />has received no comments from the properties notified. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember McClung seconded a <br />motion to Approve the Night Time Construction Activity Waiver for the <br />Lexington Avenue/County Road F project for overnight concrete sawing. <br />The motion carried (5-0). <br /> <br /> B. Planning Case 16-015 – 1494 Keithson Drive - Variance <br /> <br />City Planner Streff stated the property at 1494 Keithson Drive was developed by Pulte Homes as <br />part of the Fox Ridge subdivision approved by the City in 2011. The lot area measures 32,736 <br />square feet; however, a wetland area covers a large portion of the lot and limits the area that can <br />be developed. As part of the subdivision approval, Pulte was required to dedicate a drainage and <br />utility easement that covers the wetland and a five-foot buffer along the wetland’s edge. The City <br />Code restricts the placement of any structures within a drainage and utility easement. The property <br />also includes a public walking path that traverses the lot on the south side of the existing house <br />connecting Keithson Drive to the City trail that runs between the Fox Ridge subdivision and the
