Chriatofferseu referred Council to Summary of Estimated Coat Apportioument for the LexingtoD Ave. aud 694 Draiua,e Improve- .ant; reportad that Alternate C is considered to be tha best selection because it approaches the same costs as Alteruate A for both cities and also provides protection for the State High- way system and provides better conditions for water quality.

Land Requirement for Potential Future Wster Tower Miller informed Council of recent interest in development of the parcel west of the water booster site on Red Fox Road; suggeated that, if the City foresees the need for additional land for an auxilliary water tower at the booster station site, it should be determined prior to the .pplicant's preparation of development plans. In diacussion, it was noted that the Comprehensive Development Plan alludes to the proposed 1.5 million gallon water tower. Christoffersen advised that the existing site is ISO' wide x 200' deep, which may be sufficient, depending on setback requirements; ~ suggested City may wish to add 20 to 40 feet to the south; reported that Johansen suggested it might be desirable to add 20' on the west for driveway; said a ISO' x ISO' sq. ft. parcel should be ade- quate for a hydro pillar or pedestal tower. Council ~eferred' the aattar to the Public Works Committee for reco_endation regarding potential land and tower need.. Miller was requested to provide flexibility in developaent pl.ns for this area. REPORT OF VILLAGE PLANNER ORLYN MILLER Case No. 80-12, Building Permit - W.W. Grainger Company, Revised Plsns Miller referred Council to Planning memo (12/31/80), Planning Coa- mission Minutes (1/7/81) and to revised plans for the proposed approximate 32,000 sq. ft. W.W. Grainger Compsny building on Round Lake Road West; indicated the changes to the original building pl... proposed, as shown on a transparency of the revised site plan. Miller reported that RCWD has approved the drainage plan for the original building; plan will be re-submitted for revised plan; RCWD has indicated that approval can be accomplished administra., tively. Miller reported that the Planning Commission recommends . Council approval of iasuance of a Building Permit for the W. W, Grainger Co. building as per revised plaDs (1-7-81) with the con- tingency that a revised landscape plan for the modified proposal be submitted for approval and establishment of performance bond. ~~ After discussion, Woodburn movedAthat Council concur with the Plan- ing Comaission's recommendations, with the following additional con- tingencies: 1) the seven Z parking stalls at the south of the building, iaaediately adjacent to the building, be deleted and replaced by landscaping, except in the area of the service door. 2) ',Tevis ed la~.Jd~~~pe_ plan t9, ine-lude signage and exterior lightingj "(Jti'~ ~ ~~- .. 3) resolution of park dedication requirements prior ~ to occupancy. Motion carried unanimously. Case No. 80-44, Special Use Permit for Land Reclamation - Shafer Contracting Company Miller referred Council to Planning memo (12-31-80), Planning Commission recommendations (Minutes of 1-7-81) and to transparency indicating proposed stockpilina siteLand its relationship to the approximate DNR classified wetlands. Miller explained that the application was taken for land reclaa- ation; the purpose of placing the 300' x 250' X 12' high atock- pile of crushed concrete on the site is to surcharge the soil, and then remove it as it is needed for construction projects. Miller -2- I , . . ". Kinutes of Regular Council Meeting January 12, 1981 explained that the .aterial is to be placed on the site in two to three weeks, to be hauled off after surcharge is effected, as needed over a two to three-year period; reported that the Planning Commisaion recommended approval with contingencie.; noted that there were two dissenting Planning Commission votes because of the industrial nature of the project and questionable benefit to the land. Killer noted that, as it .tands, the land benefits no one; surcharging could improve the land, and therefore benefit the City. Milton described surcharging ss an acceptable engineering process; noted that the stockpile area 1s well screened by tree.. In discussion, Kilton explained that the land haa been filled; engineering survey indicates that the stockpiling could be effec- tive in 6 months; difficult to know how long the process will take until tests are taken. Kilton noted that the western portion of the property is crossed by a high 11ne. So.e concern was expressed relative to displacement of the under- soil. Killer .reported that this matter was-discussed and is appar- ently not a RCWD concern. Kilton said he does not know the amount of fill on the property at this time; application is to place approx- imately 11,000 cu. yards of matsrial on the site; weight of material is about 3200 to 3400 pounds per cubic yard. Kr. Rudy (Shafer Contracting) explained that some of the 30,000 cu. yds. of .aterial originally intended to be placed on thi. site ha. been placed elsewhere; proposed resultant stockpile will, there- fore, probably be 7' to 8' in height. It wa. noted that the 7' height will take longer for .urcharge to be effective. Rudy sua- gested that, at the time ~aterial is brought in, it should be deter- mined where it should be located, on the site (within a certain area, but not neces.arily over the entire area - only where boriags indicate the need for surcharging). After discussion, Woodburn moved, seconded by HOllenhorst, that Council approve iasuance of a Special Use Per.it as reco..ended by the Planning Commission with the following changea: 1. Change the .aximum time limit from 30 months to 32 months from atarting date of March 1, 1981. 2. Amount of performance bond or Letter of Credit to be established by the contractor and submitted to the Council for approval. 3. Identifiable wetlands be cbaa.ed to "as defined by DNR". 4. Siae of stockpiling to not exceed 300' x 250' X 12' high. . Motion carried unanimously. OTHER BUSINESS Additional 1981 Comaittee members: ftayor ~rlCnton appOinted the following committee members: 1.
