Planner Miller reviewed his memorandum of 3/23/87; regarding use of the site on Lake Josephine which was obtained by the Little Brothers/Friends of the Elderly through the will of John P. Bradford. . Miller was contacted by John Hoffman, attorney for the Little Brothers organization, who explained the specifications of the will and asked for an interpretation of how the proposed uses comply with the zoning requirements of the R-l District. After consultation with the Zoning Administrator, Miller determined that none of the definitions of the zoning ordinance fit the proposed "retreat center" classification precisely. The Planner consulted Attorney Lynden and concluded that the "institutional housing" definition could be considered applicable: noting that would require obtaining a Special Use Permit for the site. Another alternative Miller proposed was the addition of a specific definition for "retreat center" to the zoning ordinance; noting this would require a public hearing to amend the ordinance. Miller further stated the property could be rezoned, however, this would reduce the City's control. The Planner advised that the zoning ordinance provides for Council determination when questions arise regarding whether a proposed use falls within a permitted or special use category; he recommended that the proposed retreat center be interpreted as a specially permitted use in the R-l District under the institutional housing use category. John Hoffman and Mary Quirk, representing the Little Brothers organization were present. Mary Quirk outlined the proposed use of the site for underprivileged and elderly persons. . After discussion, Council concurred that the proposed use of the site be interpreted as a specially permitted use in the R-l District, under the institutional housing use category and that the Little Brothers organization be directed to make application for a Special Use Permit for the retreat center after their plans are formulated. . .

Barry Peters of SEH identified the 56 additional plantings; 28 Flowering Crab trees, 6 Maple trees, 1 Black Hills Spruce and 20 Dogwood shrubs.

Constructing a bermed drainage swale, behind the curb, and extend from the swa1e from the low point to the property line then east along the north property line to Valentine Park. 3. Construct a small berm in front of 3946 Glenview to reduce the potential for water jumping curb and draining across the Caniff's property. The estimated cost of the recommended system, including engineering, legal and administrative costs is $23,000.00. Council discussed various methods of funding for the project or if the project could be included as part of the Edgewater Estates development. The Engineer stated he would contact the developer for the Edgewater project to determine if Glenview Avenue could be done in conjunction with Edgewater and to receive a cost estimate. The Public Works Supervisor advised he would review the 1987 budget to determine if funds are available for the project.

Hicks noted the parking lot is not full during the day; questioned why students do not use the lot.

Mayor Woodburn advised that Council has placed the matter of parking during football season on their fall agenda.

Richard Tangen, 1800 Janet Court, stated that he is a five-year resident in the area; this is the first year there has been a problem. Tangen was unsure if a two hour limit would solve the problem and suggested either parking by permit or no parking between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. would be better.

She stated that a 2-hour parking limit would help correct the parking situation. . Mike Murlowski, 1803 Janet Court, agreed with the 2-hour parking limit concept. Hicks stated that this would be a positive step; if the situation is not corrected Council and residents can discuss alternate solutions. Peck stated that students may be able to move the vehicles during the day to reduce the chance of receiving a parking violation. Moved by Sather, seconded by Hicks, that Council approve the posting of two-hour parking, between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., signs on Janet Court, Fairview Avenue, Rolling Hills Road and Gramsie Avenue.

Raddatz explained that $13,500 was budgeted in 1987; the cost estimate for the new vehicle, including box, hoist and snow plow, is approximately $19,000, therefore, the old truck will be traded in to cover the cost differential. Sather asked if the truck bid would be independent of the box, hoist and snow . plow bid. Raddatz advised it would; he is using the bid specifications from two years ago. Sather moved, seconded by Peck, that Council authorize the advertisement for bids for the purchase of a one ton truck for the Parks Department, and advertisement for bid for the purchase of a box, hoist and snow plow.

Raddatz explained he had consulted with SEH regarding correcting the problem and had a contractor demonstrate the process of leveling the curb sections by mudjacking. A survey shows approximately 1,000 feet of curb needs repair, in the Karth Lake area, and less extensive amounts in other areas. He proposed that 300-400 feet of curb be done each year until the problem is corrected. Raddatz estimated the cost of mudjacking at $3.75 per foot of curb and gutter; since this was not budgeted for in 1987 and very little sand or salt was used this year, he suggested using the amount budgeted for sand/salt to cover the cost of mudjacking this year. He noted that one resident has lost a muffler due to the sunken curb; he questioned the liability of the City if subsequent losses of this nature are reported. Hansen moved, seconded by Sather, that Council approve the expenditure not to exceed $1,600.00 in 1987, Public Works General Fund 101-43100-224, for mudjacking curbs in 1987, and that funds be budgeted for 300 to 400 feet of curb each year until the problem has been corrected.
