h Minutes of Regular Council Meeting, September 9, 1985 Page four length is adequate for their needs. Hicks asked the reason for a reduced road length from 500' to 390'. Answer was, in order to reach a financial agreement between both property owners. Hicks said his concern is "traffic flow". Christoffersen said the reduced road length will not affect the traffic flow; noted that an additional right-of-way will be needed from the Winieckis for the shortened road (shown in cross hatch on the revised preliminary plat.) Hicks asked if the Winieckis are willing to grant the City an easement for the turn-around. George Winiecki said they had not dealt with this matter; stated they are willing to work with the City, but can't say what we'll do right now. McGuire said he will grant the easement for the street right-of- way. Hicks noted that the additional park land dedication appears to reduce the cash dedication; said he is not willing to trade the cash for the area of park land . which provides limited recreational benefit. Zappia (attorney for McGuire) explained that this land does benefit the City; reported that in arriving at the agreement between the property owners, the developer has given up a great deal in agreeing to a 2/3 " 1/3 cost split for the road; asked Council's acceptance of the park dedication (land and cash) as proposed (1.6 acres + .54 acres x value of raw land). Hicks moved, seconded by Hansen, that Council approve the revised Preliminary Plat (8/30/85) with Parkshore Drive 390' in length, subject to the granting of the additional right-of-way easement by the property owner to the south, and subject to a park dedication by the developer of 1.6 acres of land plus cash equivalent of .54 acres. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) Proposed Improvement No. SS-W-P-ST-85-2, EdRewater Estates Mayor Woodburn opened the public hearing and Clerk-Administrator McNiesh verified publication of the Notice of Hearing in the New Bri~hton Bulletin on August 21 and 28, and that notices were mailed to affected property owners on August 28. George Winiecki addressed the motion made by Hicks relative to the Parkshore Drive cuI de sac easement dedication; asked if it could be changed to a "temporary" instead of a "permanent" cuI de sac; expressed concern that they may need this land when their land is developed. Christoffersen explained that a '''temporary'' is usually for a one or two year period, a defined -period of time; feels we need a "permanent" now; explained that it can be vacated at a later date. After a short conference between George and Jim Winiecki, George said they will give the easement for the additional right-of-way. Zappia said they now have a 100% petition for the proposed improvement (Edgewater Estates), which appears to negate the need for a public hearing. The public hearing was closed (10:40 p.m.). Hicks moved, seconded by Sather, that Council adopt Resolution No. 85-42, ORDERING CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENT NO. SS-W-P-ST-85-2 PURSUANT TO PETITION BY 100% OF OWNERS OF AFFECTED PROPERTY. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) Request for Proposals, LaSalle Partners, Northwoods Site Miller explained that request for proposals is the approximately 27 acres south of 1-694, north of Red Fox Road; reported we were working with Opus ... Corporation when FMC asked for consideration for their proposal. Miller explained that the request is directed to Opus and the City to put a package together, including financial inducements. Miller reported that Opus is willing to work with FMC to incorporate FMC in their development if possible, and if this is desired by the City. Miller reported that the Planning Com- mission was shown a preliminary sketch of the Opus proposal,not i~cluding FMC, which he believes would be less intense than if the project would include FMC. McNiesh reported that she asked the kind of enhancements they are looking for from Arden Hills; gathered from talking with them that' this could include tax increment financing for the project and anything else City would like to offer such as site preparation, deferment of assessments, or actually putting in the needed streets and utilities.
