Council Meeting Minutes
October 24,2018
Attorney Glaser stated that all action needed to work in concert with each other, discussed the
existing home on the plat, outlots, common land (three (3) areas — two (2) open space and a
monument site), two (2) docks with two (2) slips each for upland home access and individual
docks for those that abut the Lakeshore. He reported that lot sizes have changes to achieve higher
density. He stated that regulations are in place that will not allow water accessory structures and
it is anticipated that this will have a more uniform appearance from the lake. Attorney Glaser
reported that the existing house would not be governed by the Conditional Use Permit so it does
not fall under the regulations of the CUP.
Administrator Statz stated that the Planning & Zoning Commission has reviewed all documents
and spent a great deal of time reviewing and providing input regarding this development.
Council Liaison Koski stated that the Commission worked diligently on this project with
contentious areas being a private versus public roadway, docks on site and thanked them for their
expertise.
Lengthy discussion ensued regarding floodplain areas, raingardens, depressed area near the lake,
no public access to lake, driveway connections to LaVaLLe Drive properties with property owners
completing a joint project to abandon the existing LaVaLLe Drive and extend their driveways for
connection to the new LaVaLLe Drive. Administrator Statz stated that 7252 Main Street (Zimney)
desired to retain his existing driveway access to the private LaVaLLe Drive and Main Street.
Additional discussion ensued regarding curb and gutter along Main Street for the vacated
existing LaVaLLe Drive along with installation of sewer stubs for LaVaLLe Drive residents rather
than obtaining sewer services from the rear of their properties along the lake as a secondary
option. Administrator Statz stated that the residents along LaVaLLe Drive will have stubs
installed for water also. Mr. Eric Marshall has secured easements for his proposed future
development.
Administrator Statz stated that the existing DeFoe property is part of the plat, but not part of the
CUP for a PUD. Discussion ensued regarding costs, escrows, erosion controls, shoreline
preservation, landscape plans with the center of lots being crowned and drainage to property
lines with raingardens near the Lakeshore providing the ability for water to be filtered prior to
draining to the lake. Administrator Statz stated that concerns for Lakeshore erosion and water
quality remain high for this development.
Attorney Glaser stated that several typographical corrections have been made to the proposed
Developer's Agreement along with smaller substantive changes.
Council Member King requested whether any modifications have been made since the last time
Council reviewed the plans and Administrator Statz stated that the 30' buffer has been modified
as the builder felt that it would be extremely difficult to obtain a $750,000 price point for homes
without lake view or lake shore so the new proposal is to sod in the buffer area and crowning for
rain to drain toward a raingarden or depression before entering the lake for filtration.
Administrator Statz stated that all runoff will have an opportunity to be filtered prior to reaching
the lake.

Council Meeting Minutes
October 24,2018
Mr. Frank Zimney, 7252 LaValle Drive addressed Council stating that most items of concern
have been addressed either this evening or prior to this evening from the July 11, 2018 meeting.
He stated that an east bound turn lane has not been addressed appropriately for safety and felt
that additional discussion should be had with Anoka County. He stated that he forwarded letters
to Administrator Statz regarding the concerns he has for his driveway and connection to the new
LaValle Drive. Mr. Zimney stated that he would like to straighten his driveway and he desired
to know where the property lines for Outlot A would be so that he could attempt to have a non
"s" driveway. He also stated that the plat shows LAVALLE DRIVE in all caps and it should be
a combination of lower and upper case on the plat,post office, etc.
Discussion ensued regarding Anoka County not requiring the installation of a turn lane but the
alignment of Peltier Lake Drive with the new LaValle Drive. Mayor Paar stated that the
roadway could become problematic in the future with the large growth that will be experienced
along 20th Avenue
Mr. Rich DeFoe stated that Mr. Zimney needed to determine whether he was going to connect
his existing driveway as others are along LaValle Drive soon to accommodate the construction
schedule.
b. Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development
Attorney Glaser stated that the CUP for a PUD controls the construction of the project, includes
timeframes for items of completion and Mr. & Mrs. DeFoe will be transferring all holdings into a
Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) which would come before Council at a later date.
C. Developer's Agreement
Attorney Glaser stated that the Developer's Agreement is a safety mechanism for the City and
puts in place enforcement actions if items are not constructed to specification, which adds
enforcement and remediation powers for the City in the event that the developer leaves the
project incomplete, the economy fails, etc. and allows for a letter of credit which the City can
draw on in the event something is incomplete.
Attorney Glaser stated that the three (3) items for consideration this evening will allow
Administrator Statz authority to guide the project to the next phases of final plat, final
landscaping, as-builts, and adjustments to plans prior to final plat along with site oversight.
Attorney Glaser stated that the Developer's Agreement also contained language regarding costs
for private improvements, warranty periods and ownership of the private improvements. He also
stated that it discusses park dedication fees, storm water area charges, building permit fees.
Attorney Glaser stated that the private improvements will cost $600,000 and with the added
150% be $900,000 for the amount of the letter of credit. Mr. DeFoe will be requesting
reductions in this letter of credit from time to time when construction is completed, a home is
sold, etc.
Discussion was had regarding the Home Owners Association documents and Attorney Glaser
explained that they would govern common areas, maintenance of those areas, allowing City

access to these areas, allows for the City to operate and receive payment for services if the Home
Owners Association becomes insolvent. Discussion took place regarding Met. Council SAC
credits for 10 units with the removal of the business and that building permits would not be
charged the SAC fee for the first 10. Council Member Love had a concern regarding street
sweeping during construction and the ability for the City to take care of this issue if the
developer fails to.
Additional discussion took place regarding the Zimney driveway issue. Administrator Statz
stated that the current plans obligated the construction the way it was shown, however, Mr.
Zimney would have approximately a week and a half to decide about the relocation to the new
LaValle Drive. Mr. Zimney stated that he will be out of town and would like to take care of this
issue but the property line to Outlot A is difficult to visualize. Administrator Statz volunteered
to meet with Mr. Zimney the following day to determine the lot line. Discussion ensued
regarding cost of curb and asphalt removal along with trail reconstruction. Administrator Statz
stated that the cost of these items would be approximately $5,000. Mr. Rich DeFoe stated that he
does not have to provide anything to anyone as the entire development is on his own land.
As Mr. Zimney was unprepared to make a decision as to the connection to the new LaValle
Drive or continuing to utilize the old LaValle Drive and his existing driveway, Attorney Glaser
stated that Council should motion a dollar amount not to exceed for removal of the existing
driveway and set a deadline date for Mr. Zimney. It was determined that the deadline date would
be October 28, 2018, with Mr. Zimney's answer to be delivered to City Hall in writing. It was
also determined that sewer and water stubs should be installed for the existing homes on LaValle
drive at the same time and Mr. DeFoe's contractor is on site installing municipal improvements
for the project.
Ms. Kathi LaValle, 7242 LaValle Drive, clarified that they had agreed to move their driveway
and remove the gravel roadway and offered to complete up to the Zimney property but were
unable to take care of the trail or the curb. She did not believe it was their responsibility and that
they did not have the ability to do so.
