Pursuant to due call and notice thereof; the City Council of the City of Centerville held their regular meeting on June 8, 1988. Mayor L'Allier called the meeting to order at 7:10 p.m. Present: Fritchie, Wilharber, Burgstahler. Absent: Neumann. Motion by Burgstahler, second by Wilharber to accept the minutes of the May 25, 1988 meeting, motion carried unanimously. APPEARANCES Wayne LeBlanc, 1677 Peltier Lake Drive appeared before the Council to introduce the Peltier Lake Association. LeBlanc advised that the need for two separate Lake Associations is because Centerville Lake and Peltier Lake are so different. The two Associations will cooperate with each other. Gary Groehn, Auditor from Abdo, Abdo, and Eich appeared before the Council to go over the 1987 Financial Report. He advised that the General Fund, Park Fund, Fire Equipment Fund, and Sewer Fund have all increased from 1986. Groehn also advised that the current General Fund balance is $64,129, but that he recommends a fund balance of $80,000 for a city Centerville's size. He also noted that this fund balance should grow as the City grows. OLD BUSINESS Walter and Lu Prachar, Box 78A Little Pine Route, Aitkin, Minnesota were present to request to split the 170' X 170' base site around the Cellular I tower from a larger parcel. This would enable the 170' X 170' site to be a separate parcel. Clerk noted that a public hearing has been held for a variance to Ordinance #8, Article 2, Section 21-05, but that the split would also require variances to Ordinance #4, Sections 33.01 and 33.03, and TABLE B, MINIMUM LOT SIZE, RURAL RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT. Mr. Prachar noted several items: -Would like the split at 170' X 170' to maintain the character of the land. A change in the character of the site would result in a change in the lease to Cellular I. -The tower is structured to fall upon itself, however, no engineer can put this is writing. -The City could take care of its concerns about the tower falling by not allowing future buildings around the site. Also present was Max Thompson of Cellular I. Thompson noted: -The tower is designed for 75 mile per hour winds. -There is no way the tower will fall. If it were to fall it would be difficult to assess where it would fall. The tower could be assessed to determine where the weakest member is. -Cellular I does not want the additional land, as they do not want to pay additional rent or annual contributions.
