Minutes of Regular Council Meeting, July 8, 1985 Page two Recommendation, City Code Chapter 18, Peddlers Lynden referred Council to his letter of 7/3/85 re Peddling -- Roseville (Green River) Approach vs. Arden Hills (Modified Green River/Licensing) Approach. Lynden explained the two options the City can take; noted that Chapter 18 can be left as it is, or changed to clarify who the licensees are, or Council can adopt the "Green River" approach, prohibiting practices which many municipalities consider to be a nuisance to its citizens. McNiesh reported that the office receives periodic requests for permits; office is aware of instances where people solicit without obtaining permits; reported that we have citizens who object to soliciting. In discussion, Hansen said she would favor the most stringent ordinance prohibiting soliciting door-to-door; would not, however, want it to . prohibit children from selling cookies, etc. to earn money for scouts, schools, church, etc. Council concurred, and authorized Lynden to draft an ordinance using the "Green River" approach for Council consideration. Federal Law re Compensatory Time Woodburn reported that Federal law prohibits employees from accumulating "comp. time"; must be paid overtime for hours worked in excess of a 40-hour week. McNiesh said checks are being prepared to pay employees for accumulated camp. time. Council concurred to refer the matter to Lynden to determine City's and employees' options, if any, under the law. Status Report - Parkshore Drive. EdRewater Estates Thomas Zappia, attorney representing Gerald McGuire, reported that they met with the Winieckis relative to the Parkshore Drive right-of-way; as of tonight have not been successful in resolving the matter. Zappia advised that a letter will be forthcoming from McGuire, agreeing to pay the costs of the Feasibility Report, if the project is abandoned; McGuire wants the City to proceed with preparation of the Feasibility Report. Zappia explained that neither McGuire nor the Winieckis need the 500-foot- long cul-de-sac street to serve their needs; costs for both property owners would be reduced if the street is reduced i~ length; McGuire can construct a private driveway to serve the apartment units, at a much lesser cost than the cost of a City street. Zappia noted that there is a certain benefit to the City for public access to the park, which is the reason the road was extended to the park. Zappia reported that they proposed a 65%/35% split (McGuire 65%, Winieckis 35%); noted that the proposed split was based on acreage (21 acres/8 acres) and potential density at R-3, or 4.5 units/acre (87 units/32 units). George Winiecki said he feels something can be worked out with Mr. wants a little more time; is confident the matter can be resolved. said he talked with Orlyn Miller relative to a shortened road; was Miller that he would memo the Council. McGuire; Winiecki told by Hicks noted that the proposed reduction in road length seems to be enough of a deviation from the approved plan to require that a new plan be presented 4It for approval. Zappia explained that they had proposed to incorporate changes or modifications to the Preliminary Plat, as required by Council, in the Final Plat, when presented for approval. Hicks said he'd want to see a diagram of the development before authorizing a feasibility study; feels the road length must be known, in order to calculate materials costs and also to determine how a shortened road would affect the drainage. Sather asked how a shortened road will affect the access to the park. Zappia explained that McGuire would dedicate the land necessary to accom- modate a road for access to the park.
