vm. OLD BUSINESS
I. Review Draft of Memorandum of Understanding on CSAH 14
City Administrator Larson and Council discussed the County's response to the draft
MOU and Council agreed Members are not ready to sign at this time.
Mayor Capra indicated that she does not agree that the City should pay more due to
increased costs through the County park.
2. Dock/Bridges - Drainage Utility Easements
Bob Dolfay of 1937 Eagle Trail indicated they have a bridge extending over an easement
and asked Council to consider allowing them to keep it there as that is the only access to
the back of his property for maintenance.
City Attorney Hoeft provided an overview for Council on the liability issue and said he
feels the bridge is different as it does not provide access to the water but to go over and
provide access to the back piece of property so it is not as much of a concern as the docks
would be. He then said that the City's policy and, possibly, the Ordinance would need to
be changed to allow the dock to remain as it is currently the policy that no structures are
allowed in easements.
Mayor Capra asked that the building official work on this Ordinance.
City Attorney Hoeft requested that the property owner be required to obtain insurance
coverage naming the City as an additional insured.
Council Member Paar indicated that he did some research and does not think that docks
and bridges would be covered under a normal home owner's umbrella policy.
Council agreed to consider allowing bridges provided that there are standards established
and that insurance naming the City as an additional insured is provided.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated he would discourage allowing decorative bridges in
easements but allow functional bridges tlJat aid in maintenance. He then noted that the
Page 4 of 10
!
L
City of Centerville
COWlCiI Meeting Minutes
September 14, 2005
signage requirements recommended by the League would be similar with docks and
bridges.
Staff will look into insurance recommendations through the League and provide further
information to Council.
Erick Knight of 1747 Dupre Road addressed Council and said that his main issue is how
an easement works for the City. He then said that he has a declaration given by Land
Development that states what the easement is for. He then read it for Council.
Mr. Knight indicated his dock is within the easement and does not disrupt the flow of
water. He then said that his insurance company will name the City as an additional
insured but said that there is a bike path around the pond that the kids use to jump bikes
into the pond that would be of more concern than his dock.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated that the declaration provided is not the controlling legal
document as far as the easement is concerned.
Mr. Knight indicated the dock is a removable structure and is not affecting the City in
any way. City Attorney Hoeft indicated the City has the ability to control any structure
within the easement and that is what the Council has decided to do based on a
recommendation from its insurance camer.
Jim Salin, an attorney representing the residents at 1715 Dupre Road indicated they have
a dock on their land and he feels that they own a portion of the land based upon review of
the Surveyor's Certificate, which he provided for review.
Mr. Salin indicated his client has home owner's insurance at $300,000 per occurrence
and has contacted the insurer and have been ensured that the dock is covered.
Council Member Paar pointed out that it is in the easement, but they own the property.
Mr. Salin asked if the legal description for the easement is provided somewhere.
Mr. Salin questioned whether the easement does cover that dock based on the drawing
and questioned how broad the easement is.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated that the drainage and utility easements are expansive in
CenteTville due to drainage issues and if there is a question about whether a structure is
inside or outside of the easement he would be willing to review it.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated that the City has the right to control the structures within
the City's easement.
Mr. Salin said the structure is unobtrusive and it is a very small dock extending six feet
long and 10 feet wide that the residents use for limited and reasonable uses such as
i

feeding the ducks, sunning themselves and putting their feet in on a hot day but it is not
used for swimming.
Mr. Salin said that the City has concerns about liability and he is somewhat surprised at
the level of concern as he has found no Minnesota Court that has held a City liable for
injuries in a private pond.
Mr. Salin commented that they recognize that the City has an interest and right to
regulate but asked the City to do so in a rational way. He then said that they would like
to have further discussion on the matter and agree to a permit situation but do not think it
fair to executively order docks removed without a hearing process or Ordinance that
would cover this.
Susan Love of 1953 Eagle Trail said she does not have a dock in the pond at this time but
the pond is a majority of her back yard and she has three children who enjoy going down
to the pond and throwing a line in and walking on the rocks. She then said that, as a
parent, it is her job to know where her children are and be aware of the hazard of the
water. She further said that they carry a $1,000,000 umbrella policy on their house,
vehicles and yard and she feels that since they own the property and pay taxes they
should be able to use the pond and put out a dock.
Council Member Paar commented that these ponds were not ever made for the intent of
personal property enjoyment, they are to ease flooding issues.
Mayor Capra indicated that these are drainage ponds to handle run off water and the
ponds are used for settling ponds so that when it flows to the lake it keeps the lake
cleaner.
A resident commented that part of the problem is that the pond is over half of the lot and
they expect to be able to beautify the area around it and have a dock to enjoy it. He
further stated that he needs to be able to cut the tall grasses to control mosquitoes in the
area.
Council Member Paar said he understood the comments of residents but the reason these
ponds are there is to control flooding within neighborhoods not for docks to access the
water. He then said that he does not want docks in the ponds because he does not want to
be on the Council that has to deal with a death or injury because the docks were not
removed.
Jim Berger of 1748 asked whether or not the dock or bridge has a purpose limits or
reduces the liability.
Council Member Paar said that he feels it does and commented that the bridge spans a
ditch with a couple of inches of water in it to cross over to the rest of the property for
maintenance whereas a dock invites people out into the water.

Council Meeting Minutes
September 14, 2005
Jamie Berglin of 1715 Dupre said that if they maintain a nice mowed frontage to the pond
regardless of a dock it would still draw people to the pond and they would be trespassing.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated there is official immunity if there is no structure there
because it is not inviting a child there.
Ms. Berglin said her insurance company believes that the City has no insurable liability
as they own the land. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that the definition of easement could
easily be defined and noted that the Subdivision Ordinance does not allow structures in
an easement.
Council Member Lee agreed with Council Member Paar and said he does not think the
docks should be in the easements. He then said that he understands that residents want
their backyards to look nice but the ponds are for drainage not recreation. He further
commented that some communities require that the weeds grow up around them and that
they be fenced.
Mr. Knight indicated that the way the property is he would have to take the retaining wall
down but his basement will flood because that is the way Ground Development
developed that land.
Council took a five minute break.
Council reconvened at 7:50 p.m.
Council Member Terway said he thinks that Council initiated this action because of
concerns that they had for various reasons. He then said that Council has taken
comments from residents but the decision has been made and he does not want to change
that decision at this time. He further said that he would like to have Staff provide
documentation to Council and residents that backs up the decision to show residents how
Council arrived at this decision.
Council Member Lakso agreed.
Council Member Paar agreed.
Mayor Capra said she sees the value that residents gain from the docks and understands
that they are trying to create an amenity from something that is required to be there, but
she agrees with the rest of the Council that it is a liability for the City and she would like
Staff to provide documentation to residents and Council for consideration before final
determination on whether to enforce removal of the docks.
Motion bv Mavor Caora. seconded bv Council Member Lee to table this matter to
the next meetinl! to anow Staff time to nrovide documentation to Council and
residents. AD in favor. Motion carried unanimously.

3. Draft Purchase Agreement - 160 I LaMotte Drive
City Administrator Larson reviewed the specifics of the draft Purchase Agreement with
Council noting that a $10,000 earnest money check would be sent with the Purchase
Agreement.
Mayor Capra asked Staff to verify the appraisal amount and make sure the correct
amount is listed in the Purchase Agreement. Staff agreed to do so.
Council reviewed the terms of the Purchase Agreement and had no objections.
4. Discuss Development Agreement Issues - Pheasant Marsh 3rd Addition
City Administrator Larson informed Council that Phase I of this development had a
reserve strip ofland platted that was not caught by Staff. He then said that Phase III does
as well. He further commented that the City's Ordinance does not allow reserve strips.
City Attorney Hoeft explained that the reserve strip would allow the developer to recover
some of his costs because he can charge the property owner to the south for connection to
the road. He then explained that the approval for Phase III requires that the final plat be
recorded within 60 days so that approval is back on the table and the City will require
that the reserve strip be removed.
City Administrator Larson reviewed with Council some of the discussions and
negotiations he has been having with the developer asking if Council would be interested
in having Outlot E deeded to the City for open space for a reduction in the drainage fees
the developer is being charged.
Council discussed the matter with Staff and made it clear that they had no interest in
reducing park dedication fees for this developer.
Council agreed to 25% contingency, replatting to eliminate the reserve strip, accepting
Outlot E deeded to the City for a reduction in drainage fees, and to require a road
easement or street stub for future access to the south property.
5. Pay Request #10 Dresel Contracting $11.687.50 - 2004 Utility and Street
Improvement Proiect
Council and Staff discussed the punch list items and their completion including the
sodding around the rain garden. Mr. Peterson indicated that the project is completed and,
if Council wanted to sod around the garden, it would require grading and starting over as
you cannot sod over existing grass and weeds.
Mayor Capra indicated she is disappointed that this took so long to be completed and she
is not entirely satisfied with how it was completed.

City would like to see built there. She then said that the realtor was considering a

work done on her driveway and needed to park in the street until it was done. He further
explained to Council that he does not waive parking tickets and told her that she would
need to speak to the Council on the matter.
Council discussed the matter and agreed that regulating and handling parking tickets is
not something the Council wants to get involved with as it is at the discretion of the
Police Department and the City Attorney.

the City Attorney's office. The purpose of the closed meeting was to hear a proposal for
settlement relating to the lawsuit with Royal Oaks Realty, Inc.
City Attorney Hoeft reported that the opposing party made a settlement offer of $50,000
payable on October 1, 2005. The attorney explained that the City received two favorable
rulings from a judge regarding the case. Most significant is the fact that attorney fees are
subject for consideration at trial as provided for in the developer agreement. The Council
was not impressed with the settlement offer, especially in light of the recent court
decisions.
The meeting was reopened to the public at 9:35 p.m.
A motion was made by Council member Lee that the Council reject the settlement offer
of Royal Oaks. Motion seconded by Council member Paar, all present voted in favor.
The motion was declared passed
The motion duly passed to adjourn the meeting at 9:40 p.m.
Dallas Larson, City Administrator

ofa five (5) foot side setback and a ten (10) foot rear setback, except in the M-I District where
the building code governs the setbacks. No structure may be placed in an easement, except by a
written pemrit ClJ1II"OWd by the COuncIl.
B. In case an accessory structure is attached to the main building, it shall be made structurally a
part of the main building and shall comply in all respects with the requirements of this Ordinance
applicable to the main building. An accessory building, unless attached to and made a part of the
main building, shall not be closer than six (6) feet to the main building, except as otherwise
provided in this section. The side walls ofan accessory building may not exceed ten (10) feet in
height. The total area of an attached accessory building (garage) shall be no greater than 1500
square feet per level. Swimming pools may exceed the size requirements for accessory
structures, but they can not exceed fifty (50) percent of the rear yard.
C. Commercial uses in the M-I District will follow the Commercial guidelines for percentage of
green space. For all other properties in the M-I District, the maximum accessory structure
allowed is 704 square feet and 440 square feet in the R-4 District, neither to exceed the size of the
principal structure if an attached garage does not exist. If an attached garage exists, the maximum
accessory structure allowed is two (2) percent of the lot size or a maximum of 200 square feet.
Section 2. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be effective immediately upon
its passage and publication according to law.

Bridge Guidelines
The following rules are for the erection of new private bridges in the City of Centerville.
All private bridges will conform to the following requirements.
All private bridges shall be considered a deck and require a zoning or building permit. A
bridge located in an easement will not be allowed unless it functions to provide the
property owner access to a part of his property not otherwise accessible and such access
is required for maintenance of the property. If the bridge is located within an easement,
the property owner shall sign an encroachment agreement with the City prior to the
erection of the bridge. No private bridge may span across any waterway without prior
approval from the City Council.
A condition of approval for a bridge in an easement is that the property owner shall
provide liability insurance in the amount of $1 million and naming the City Of

POTENTIAL LIABILITIES IN AND AROUND PONDS
by Rich Korm~, LMCIT Research Assistant
The issues considered here are whether a municipality may
be liable for the drowning of an infant or an adult on private
or public property on the theory of either allowing a nuisance
to exist or for negligently maintaining a pond. Included is a
discussion of the attractive nuisance theory, even though it
applies only to property owners because of policy analysis.
FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS
Generally, courts have refused to impose liability upon
municipalities for death to children from ponds under the
attractive nuisance theory. Harper v. Topeka, 92 Kan. 11, 139
P. 1018 (1914): Raeside v. Citv of Sioux City, 209 Iowa 975, 229
N.W. 216 (1930); Fiel v. City of Racine, 203 Wis. 149,233 N.w.
611 (1930); Ochampauah v. City of Seattle, 91 Wash.2d 514, 588
P.2d 1351 (1979). Ochampauah found that the "most significant
factor to be considered when it must be decided whether
liability will be imposed upon the possessor for a condition
existing upon the land is the likelihood or probability of harm
to others." ~ at 1356. This court concluded that natural
bodies of water, or similar artificial waters, do not present a
likelihood or probability of such harm and noted that these
natural waterways comprise one of the state's most cherished
amenities.
Under the attractive nuisance doct~ine, a p~ope~ty owner
must use reasonable care to protect child trespassers where the
owner reasonably anticipated the child's presence. This
anticipation must be based on actual or implied knowledge of a
feature's attractiveness to children. Hardv v. Missouri Pac.
R.R. Co., 266 F. 860 (1920). The refusal to apply the
attractive nuisance doctrine is based largely on the prevalence
of ponos and the difficulty which a duty to fence would impose.
As one court has noted, "Hundreds of bodies of water, both large
and small, dot the entire state. These do take their toll on
human life, especially of children, but it has not yet been
deemed to be the duty of the owner to fence or barricade the
ponds so as to exclude the public." Fiel, 203 Wis. at _,233
N.W. at 613. However, a court has noted that all bodies of
water are attractive to children. Raeside, 209 Iowa at ___, 229
N.W. at 217. In Minnesota, the burden would be unreasonable
because of the large number of ponds and lakes. It has been
held that "a pond cannot be rendered inaccessible to boys by any
ordinary means. Certainly no ordinary fence around the lot upon
which a pond is situated would answer the purpose: therefore, to
make it safe, the pond must be either filled or drained." Omaha
v. Bowman, 52 Neb. 293, _, 72 N.W. 316, 318 (1914). In
1

5512811295

addition, the liability of a municipality to the owner of the
premise for causing the overflow of water ... does not make them
liable to third persons for the drowning of a child in a pond.
Ig., 52 Neb. at ___, 72 N.W. at 317.
The attractive nuisance doctrine has generally been
regarded as part of the law of negligence. Conditions on
privately owned land do not usually impose any responsibility
upon the municipality on the theory of attractive nuisance.
McQuillan's Municioal Coroorations, S53.59 (f); See also Rhodes
v. City of Kansas City, 167 Kan. 719, 208 P.2d 275 (1949); Woolf
v. City of Dallas, 311 S.W.2d 78 (Tex. Civ. App. 1958).
MINNESOTA LAW
The attractive nuisance doctrine is not followed in
Minnesota. Negligence must be shown because an attractive
nuisance indicates no special departure or exception from the
ordinary run of negligence cases. Hockinq v. Duluth. Mesabi &
Iron Ranqe Rv., 263 Minn. 483, 489, 117 N.W.2d 304, ___ (1962).
One element Of negligence is the existence of a duty to the
plaintiff. Actionable negligence does not exist unless there
has been a failure to discharge a legal duty to the one injured.
Id. However, it has been held that there is no duty to fence or
supervise a natural watercourse. Kellv v. City of New York, 25
N.Y.2d 950, 252 N.E.2d 636, 305 N.Y.S.2d 159 (1969). The
plaintiff must also show that there is a special duty to the
deceased or injured, and not just a duty to the general public.
See Cracraft v. City of St. Louis Park, 278 N.W.2d 201 (Minn.
1979). However, it is settled in this state that: a municipality
owes a duty of care toward children using the streets for
recreation and play. Harninq v. City of Duluth, 224 Minn. 299,
303, 28 N.W.2d 659, ___ (1947).
One court has found, however, no liability for the death of
a child who fell into an unfenced drainage ditch, stating that
the important factors are the presence of a hidden danger (e.g.
a deep hole in a Shallow pool), knowledge of the condit:ion by
the municipality and the practicality of remedying the danger.
Peacock v. Dexter, 544 S.W.2d 80 (Mo. Ct. App. 1976).
In Slinker v. Wallner, 258 Minn. 243, 103 N.W.2d 377
(1960), a landowner was held liable for the wrongful death of a
trespassing child under a nuisance theory. The court based its
decision on the requirements that there must be a foreseeable
riSk of injury and an unreasonable danger. These are similar to
the requirements that the city must have notice of the dangerous
condition and an opportunity to cure before it can be found
negligent. Fuller v. Citv of Mankato, 248 Minn. 342, 60 N.W.2d
9 (1956).
Other courts have found that the danger of water in a pond
2

LEAGUE OF MN en I ES
6512811296
p.e5
49
is or should be obvious to a child, and therefore is not an
unreasonable risk to trespassing children. Carqill. Inc. v.
Zimmer, 374 F.2d 924 (8th Cir. 1967). This court analyzed
several Minnesota cases concluding that where liability was
imposed, the defendant ha.d knowledge of foreseeable harm because
of the attraction of children to the area. rg. at 930; See
Heitman v. City of Lake City, 225 Minn. 117, 30 N.W.2d 18 (~947)
(A child drowned when he fell off a wall and into a harbor built
and maintained by the city. Liability was imposed because
children frequently used the wall and the city had not fenced it
off. In addition, an occasional warning by the harbor master
did not constitute the exercise of a sufficient degree of care) ;
Davies v. Land O'Lakes Racing Assoc; 244 Minn. 248, 69 N.W.2d
642 (1955) (An accident occurred where children were known to
play. The court, concluded that where one knowingly maintains
something that mayor is certain to attract children or may
present a concealed danger in an area where children are more or
less likely to trespass, the legal effect may justify a finding
of actionable negligence) .
NUISANCE
A municipality is not liable for the failure to abate a
nuisance which it did not create, except after notice and a
request to abate is received. McQuillan's Municioal
Corporations, ~53.59 (a). Generally, the failure to enact or
enforce ordinances for the prevention or abatement of a public
nuisance on private property will not render a municipality
liable. Id. at ~53.59 (c); See Arnold Y. City of St. Louis, 152
Mo. 173, 53 S.W. 900 (1899) (No liability for a municipality
where the pond is on private property because the municipality
had no control over private property and was under no duty to
abate the nuisance) .
In Minnesota, it has been held that a municipality, in an
action for a child's death by drowning, was not chargeable with
negligence as a matter of law for piling rubbiSh on a path
within city streets. Stadherr v. City of Bauk Center, 180 Minn.
496, 231 N.W, 210 (1930). This was the result even though the
municipality owned the property where the accident occurred.
Private nuisances only produce damages to one or a few
persons. 58 Am. Jur. 2d Nuisances S9 (1964). Prevention or
abatement of a private nuisance is the responsibility of the
injured party and not the municipality. Bill v. StokelY-Van
camp. Tnc., 260 Minn. 315, 109 N.W.2d 749 (1961).
Public nuisances affect a considerable number of persons.
Minn. Stat. S609. 74 (198B). This statute defines a public
nuisance as follows, "Whoever by his act or failure to perform
a legal duty intentionally does arty of the following is guilty
of maintaining a pUblic nuisance: (1) Maintains or permits a
3

50
condition which unreasonably annoys, ~nJures or endangers the
safety, health, morals, comfort or repose of any considerable
number of members of the public." Id. In general, sewage and
drainage conditions which menace public health are nuisances per
se and are subject to summary abatement. McQuillan's Munici1;>al
Coroorations, ~24. 257. Stagnant water, particularly where
insects breed, is without a doubt a public nuisance. lQ. at
!i24.2650.
Courts have used the nuisance theory in drowning accident
cases which have occurred on land owned by a county. Caywood v.
Board of County Comm'rs of Sedawick County, 200 Kan. 134, 434
F.2d 780 (1967). Here, the court listed the following things as
nuisances, sewage plants discharging raw sewage, a public dump
which contained a stagnant pool and a defective surface water
drain. Then the court stated that swimming pools in city parks,
an artificial drainage channel and a sandpit excavation full of
water are not public nuisances. Id. at 786-87.
STANDARDS QF CARE
Minnesota courts have followed the various standards of
care found in the Restatement (Second) of Torts with regard to
the above situations. Each situation has a different standard
of care based on the age of the plaintiff and the locacion of
the waterway. The general rule for liability of possessors of
land to trespassers is Restatement (Second) of Torts ~333. See
HUQ'hes V. Ouarve & Anderson Co., 338 N.W.2d 422, 424 (Minn.
1983) (Restatement (Second) of Torts ~!i333, 335 are the
standards of care for adult trespassers). The rule states a
possessor Of land is not liable to trespassers for a physical
harm caused by his failure to exercise reasonable care
(a) to put the land in a condition reasonably safe for
their reception, or
(b) to carry on his activities so as not to endanger them.
If the waterway is a drainage ditCh or some other type of
artificial condition which is highly dangerous to constant
trespassers, the standard of care is Restatement (Second) of
Torts ~335. See Lawler v. Soo line R.R. Co., 424 N.W.2d 313,
316 (Minn. Ct. App. 1988); Watters v. Buckbee Mears Co., 354
N.W.2d 848, 850 (Minn. Ct. App. 1984) (Both cases utilize
Restatement (Second) of Torts S335 in analyzing each claim).
The rule states a possessor of land who knows, or from facts
within his knowledge should know, that trespassers constantly
intrude upon a limited area of land, is subject to liability for
bodily harm caused by an artificial condition on the.land, if
(a) the condition
(i) is one which the possessor has created or
maintained and
4

51
(ii) is, to his knowledge, likely to cause death or
serious bodily harm to such trespassers and
(iii) is of such a nature that he has reason to
believe that such trespassers will not discover
it, and
(b) the possessor has failed to exercise reasonable care
to warn such trespassers of the condition and the risk
involved.
If the waterway is an artificial condition highly dangerous
to known trespassers, the standard of care is Restatement
(Second) of Torts ~337. The rule states a possessor of land who
maintains on the land an artificial condition which involves a
risk of death or serious bodily harm to persons coming in
contact with it, is subject to liability for bodily harm caused
to trespassers by his failure to exercise reasonable care to
warn them of the condition if
(a) the possessor knows or has reason to know of their
presence in dangerous proximity to the condition, and
(b) the condition is of such a nature that he has reason
to believe that the trespasser will not discover it or
realize the risk involved.
If the waterway is an artificial condition which is highly
dangerous to trespassing children, the standard of care is
Restatement (Second) of Torts &339. See Minnesota Law Section
of this letter; Kukowski v. William Miller Scrap Iron & Metal
Co., 353 N.W.2d 638, 641-42 (Minn. Ct. App. 1984) (Quoted and
used Restatement (Second) of Torts ~339) _ The rule states a
possessor of land is subject to liability for physical harm to
children trespassing thereon caused by an artificial condition
upon the land if
(a) The place where the condition exists is one upon which
the possessor knows or has reason to know that
children are likely to trespass, and
(b) the condition is one of which the possessor knows or
has reason to know and which he realizes or should
realize will involve an unreasonable risk of death or
serious bodily harm to such children, and
(c) the children because of their youth do not discover
the condition or realize the risk involved in
intermeddling with it or in coming within the area
made dangerous by it, and
(d) the utility to the possessor of maintaining the
condition and the burden of eliminating the danger are
slight as compared with the risk to children involved,
and
(e) the possessor fails to exercise reasonable care to
eliminate the danger or otherwise protect the
children.

The rema~n~ng question to be addressed is determining who
is an adult and who is a child under the restatement standards.
In Huahes, 338 N.W.2d 422. 424-25. the court examines this issue
in depth. There is no set age at which a plaintiff should be
denied 5339 instruction. Comment c to 5339 states that 5339 has
been applied in a few instances to 16 and 17 year old children.
The comment also says that as the age' of the child increases.
conditions become fewer for which there can be recovery under
this rule, until at some indeterminate point, probably beyond
the age of 16. there are no longer any such conditions. In the
end. this determination has to be made after reviewing the facts
and circumstances of each case.
In conclusion. a municipality has a duty to fence man-made
ponds if it can be reasonably foreseen that individuals.
especially children, will be by such ponds. An example would be
if a sewer retention pond is constructed next to a day-care
center. However, with regard to natural ponds, it is uncertain
whether or not fencing could be required. Even the Restatement
(Second) of Torts has expressed no opinion as regards this
issue. Therefore, use the same reasonableness standard as used
in the above man-made pond situation.

addresses private docks attached to city property which is notthe case at hand: Finally,
the League's material included in your packet of materials for your September 14
meeting does reference sample ordinances which allow for private docks to remain in
place (pages 39-41in yourpacketofmateriais).. . .
.:~
, Ordinance #4 does not mention docks. It does state that no structure may be placed in an
easement (Division 65). However, the definition of a "structure" as provided in Section .
015-020 excludes certain items, such as "enclosed play structures under fifty(50) square
feet, fences and patios." Whether or not, a dock would fall within the excluded items is
ambiguous at best.

Mayor and Members of City Council
September 24, 2005
The Bergelands purchased their property in May 2004 and constructed their dock in July
2004. The Bergelands were unaware of any code or ordinance violation at the time they
constructed their dock. The dock itself is a small affair, measuring approximately 6 feet
long and three feet wide as it extends into their pond. Until the Bergelands received a
letter from the City dated August 22,2005, requesting the removal of the dock, they were
unaware of any problem or concern that the City might have.
In a letter addressed to Dallas Larson, City Administrator, dated August30, 2005, the
Bergelands, joined by other dock owners, indicated their willingness to have the City
. covered under an umbrella policy as part of their private homeowner's policy. The cost
ofthe aclditional coverage would be incurred by the homeowner. This proposal is
-identical to one recommended by the League of Minnesota Cities in their materials
included in your packet of materials for your September 14 meeting.
. -
The Bergelands very much wish to retain their dock. They constructed their dock in good. .
. faith, believing it to be part of the quiet enjoyment oJ their property. They would view
the removal" of their dock to be a misuse of your easement and.a takfug of their property. .
I hope you can resolve this matter Without requiring the Bergelands to remove their clock.'
. There are other less drastic options open to you. You could requite that the Bergelartd~' .
'tUJ.d ofuerssimilarly situated name the city as an "additional insured" on the insurance.
'. policy relating to the dock. You could allow the Bergelands to retain their dock with the.
writtertunderstanding that the dock would be removed upon the sale of their property. .'
Such all approach would leave open the amending of your Ordinance Number 4 to-
_ reference docks and remove the present ambiguity.

Very truly yours,

Re: County Road 14 Project
Dear Commissioner Sivarajah
The City Council asked that I invite you to their meeting to discuss the County Road 14
reconstruction project. As you know, the City has expressed numerous concerns over the
design of the CSAH 14 reconstruction. These concerns include, access for businesses,
excess right-of-way disposal, pedestrian crosswalks and a number of other problems.
These have not yet been adequately addressed.
The Council would like to have an informal discussion with you to express their concerns
and convey their position on the outstanding issues. This letter will confirm that you will
be able to attend the meeting of September 28, 2005, at 6:30 p.m. Thank you.
Yours truly,

Guidelines for Priority Funding
for Housing Performance
January 2003
~ Met~ei~!::~ni~?t~;!~
Affordability and Diversification
o to 8 points
I. Municipalities are ranked according to the percent of their owner-occupied
housing (homesteads) with an assessed valuation equal to or lower than an
amount affordable to households at 80 percent of area median income, and
their total number of mobile homes.
.. n-O-to-8points-~2-. M\lIlicipalitiesare rank-ea aeeeffiing-te-tfte-pcrecnt of-theirtotal-housing
stock that is comprised of rental units affordable to households of low- and
moderate-income (50 percent of area median income or less). This
includes all federally subsidized rental units - public housing, Section 8
housing, units subsidized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, units
developed with the use of low-income housing tax credits, units developed
with the assistance of MHF A, the LCA Fund or the assistance of a local
fiscal tool or housing finance initiative.
o to 8 points 3. Municipalities are ranked according to the percent of their housing stock
that is comprised of units that are not single family detached units
developed in the typical detached housing site plan approach. These units
may include twinhomes, quads, apartments, townhomes, condominiums,
detached townhomes, mobile homes, and units developed with a zero-lot
line.
o to 10 points 4. Municipalities are ranked according to the percent of net units added to
their housing stock that are affordable - both ownership and rental since
the Council began monitoring in 1996. These "new" units may include
units that haye been "preserved" as affordable for a definitive period of
~e because of public or private re-investmentto retain their affordability.
("Net units" means that affordable habitable units, not including units on
land with a property tax classification of 4C, removed as the result of a city
initiative will be subtracted [rom the total new affordable units.)
o to 3 points 5. Housing for special needs
Municipalities are awarded up to three points for the following types of
special housing within their jurisdiction:
· Housing for which federal, state, county or local funds or those of a
non-profit organization have been used to purchase and operate residential
units or provide licensed housing that is not for the purposes of
incarceration, but as a transitional placement of adult offenders or
adjudicated delinquents
. A publicly subsidized or non-profit group home licensed by the
Department of Health or Department of Human Services which provides
temporary or permanent housing for the physically handicapped, mentally
ill, developmentally disabled or chemically dependent
6
. A shelter which is publicly subsidized and/or operated by a non-profit
group to provide temporary housing for homeless persons and families,
battered women or those not otherwise able to secure private housing
· Housing for individuals and families who are homeless, but with a
transitional stay of six to 24 months, and the assistance of advocates, can
work towards housing stability and self-sufficiency to obtain permanent
housing.
Each instance of such housing is worth 1 point.
. Local Initiatives-to FacHitate Affordable -W6rkfllree-HousingDev~topment or Preservation
o to 15 points
6. Fiscal Tools and Initiatives
The municipality has in place adopted local policy in its comprehensive
plan or local housing plan that allows and encourages the use of a local
fiscal tool or initiative and has used such a local fiscal tool to assist
affordable workforce or life-cycle housing development or preservation.
Examples of such fiscal tools include but are not limited to the following:
. Tax increment financing
. Housing revenue bonds
. General obligation bonds
. A local property tax levy
. Local tax abatement
. Local fee waivers or reductions
. Credit enhancements
. Taxable revenue bonds
. Land wriJe-down or sale
· Collaboration and participation with a community land trust or other
non-profit organization to preserve long-term affordability
....
The use offederal or state dollars is only applicable if such dollars may be
used for activities other than the development or preservation of affordable
and life-cycle housing but the municipality has chosen by policy to use
them for affordable housing development or preservation. (i.e., CDBG
dollars used for housing development or preservation)
Each local fiscal tool or initiative is worth 3 points.
o to 15 points 7. Initiatives regarding local regulation and development requirements
The municipality has in the previous two calendar years allowed the
reduction, adjustment or elimination of a local official control, or
development or local code requirement as a cost avoidance or reduction
measure in order to facilitate the development or preservation of affordable
workforce or life-cycle housing, OR has in place in its policies and official
controls a commitment to make such reductions, adjustments or
eliminations ofrequirements when they are requested by a developer in
order to facilitate the development or preservation of affordable or life-
7
cycle housing, or since 1996, has taken the initiative to revise its land use
regulation and official controls to such a degree that these revisions can be
shown to be permitting greater density and more frequent opportunity for
reduced development costs than existed before 1996.
Examples of these initiatives in the use of official controls include but are
not limited to the following:
. The use of a density bonus system, inclusionary housing requirements
or some other innovative zoning approach
.. The use of variances, rezoning, special use or conditional permits or
similar variations from the standards set forth in the community's zoning
- ----ordinancdonhe-llurpose offadtitating a s]YecttIc-affordabte-hmrstng -
development.
. A local initiative undertaken to revise local design requirements for
public improvement that may reduce the cost of public services to
residential properties.
. Modifications in public services standards or requirements that might
include streets, curbs, gutter, sewer and water hookups, street lighting and
other required public improvements in order to reduce development costs
to increase affordability in a new residential development.
. A reduction of such standards as the required street right-of-way, or
surfacing width or depth design for residential street, or the size of sewer or
water service lines to new housing.
Each local initiative is worth 3 points. No more than 6 points may be
applicable to anyone affordable or life-cycle housing development or
preservation activity aided by these local regulative measures.
o to 15 points 8. Initiatives regarding housing preservation and rehabilitation
The municipality has in place and has in the previous two calendar year~".-
used and promoted locally-initiated or administered (city or county)
housing preservation, home improvement and/or rehabilitation programs,
or other tools available to its residents to keep their housing stock in sound
condition.
Examples of these initiatives include but are not limited to the following:
. A housing maintenance code and enforcement program for rental
housing
. A housing maintenance code and enforcement program for owner-
occupied housing
. A housing rehabilitation loan or grant program for rental housing
. A housing rehabilitation loan or grant program for owner-occupied
housing
. A home improvement loan or grant program
. A home improvement resource center
. A local tool-sharing center or program
Each local initiative is worth 3 points.

9. Density of residential development
The average net density of new (or re-use) sewered housing for which a
building permit was issued in the municipality in the two previous calendar
years multiplied by the total number of such units in those two years are
compared among all communities. Sewered communities are ranked
highest to lowest, unsewered communities are ranked lowest to highest.
Points will only be given to sewered communities with an overall density
of three units per acre or greater and only to unsewered communities for
which the 1998 local comprehensive plan update has been put into effect.
Sewered Communities
a. The average net density for attached housing units, i.e., units per acre
multiplied by the number of such units permitted in the last two calendar
years.
b. The average net density for detached housing units (including detached
townhomes and manufactured homes), i.e., units per acre multiplied by the
number of such units permitted in the last two calendar years.
Unsewered Communities
The average net density of residential development multiplied by the
number of all units permitted in the last two calendar years
10. In the previous two calendar years, the municipality has acquired land to
be held specifically for the development of affordable or senior housing
(exclusively 55+), or has approved (permits may be drawn at any time) the
development or local financial participation in a proposed development of
new affordable or senior (exclusively 55+) housing, or the involvement of
the municipality in the preservation and reinvestment in such housing-
ownership or rental - which has not as yet been undertaken for reasons
beyond the municipality's control.
Points will be awarded according to the number of units involved in the
proposal as follows;
2 points -less than 20 units or land acquisition for future housing
4 points - 20 to 39 units
6 points - 40 or more units
