OATH(S) OF OFFICE I '
Tom Le� and Kathy Pei� read their �ath(s) of Office.
APPEARANCES
Mr. Bill Bisek appeared before the Parks and Recreation Comxnittee to d.iscuss two (2)
items. The first was to help clarify any controversary or issues tha.t may have risen
related to moving the fencing at Laurie LaMotte Park to accomrnodate the softball
tournament during the Fete des Lacs Celebratian. Mr. Bisek explained his suggestion �f
reIocating the fencing was only for a temporary period of time, and that they could be
moved back after the tournament. He also wanted to clarify that the original intent for
the ball fields was not for the yauth, but for aditlts. After the fields were constructed, the
Litt1e League approached the Pazl�s and Recreation Committee. Mr, Bisek commented
that there could be double use of the fieids.
The second concern of Mr. Biseks was establishing concessions at Laurie LaMo�te Park.
He commented that it would be very beneficial for the Parks and Recreation Committee
to start selling some type of concessioras naw. Considering the fact that the Little
League, the Centennia� SQCCer Club, the Fete des Lacs Celebration and the Fete des Lacs
1
.
�
So$ball Tourn,ament �re al� held at LaMotte Park, it �ould generate a gxeat deal of
income for whatever argani�za.tion is willing to operate a concession stand. Whether this
organiz�tion is the Lions Clzib, Little League, Soccer Club, Parks arnl Recreation
Committee or liimsel� at wauld be a great source of income. He also explain�d that it
� would establish a reputation of offering concessions at the park. He suggested that
' whatever organization elects to offer aoncessions, couid do�ate some of the proceeds ta
' the Parks and Recreatfon Committee. Qnoe the actual conc�ssion shelter is built, it could
' be taken over the Parks and Recreation Committee, or whomever elects to iun t�ie
, concessions.
Ms. DeVine questioned of the Lions Club has come to any conclusians related to funding
for the concession shelter.
Mr. Bisek explained there are many avenues for generating funds fox the concessian
shelter. 'The Spring Lake Park Lions Cha�itable Gambling �s a very aggressive
organi�ation that is donating proceeds to Centervilie for these type of things. �ther ways,
such as: fundraisers, coupons, DNR Grant or possi�ly a loan from the City (paid back
with proaeeds �xom the concessions) are always a passibility. Additionally, the i�eels
Park will also play a€actor in the concession shelter.
11�r. Bisek questioned if the Committee had any ather cancerns or questians that he might
be able to help with. The Comniittee �:a�i no further questi�ns axad thanked �VIr. B�sek for
his time and for attending the me�ting.
CON�IDERATIOI�T OF MIl'�1UTES
Ma�2, 200 d Parks a.nci 12ecr$ation Meetin�Minutes
Motaen by Mr. Peters�n, seconded by 1dlr. Waitec to approve t4�e May 2, 2001 Parks
and Recreatian Committee M+eetin� 1Vlinutes wft� noted changes. All i�a favor.
Motion carried t�nanimou�ly.
UNFINISHED BUSYN�SS
Update on Rentai of Church Property
Mr. Waiter exglained that Ms. I�eVine, her husband Ray DeVine and 3im Mareh all met
�or lunch ane day to discuss the options o�r�nting property from the Church for a soc�er
I f�ld. After their discussion, it ��s apparent that it would be very costly to renovaxe the
fiel�. intv a soccer field, and would be difficult to get a long-tecanmm lease from the Chwch,
If the �hurch doesn't want to grant a long tertn Iease, the �om�nittee w�uldn't want to
invest a lot of money into a field #hat they may not have for long. After discussion, the
cansensus of the Committee was that approachin� the Churc�i is not a feasible option.
Quotes �n I�el�,cating Backsta,�s and F�ncing at Laurie LaMotte Fazk
Mr. Peterson e�lained he had not obtaiYied quates on relc�cating the backstops and
fencing at Laurie LaNlotte Park due to the fact that the �sotion haci been pulled pric�r to
2
� Council xeview. Council Liaison Braussard Vickers questioned why the motion had been
pulled prior to Council reviewin� it. Mr. Porter e�tplained that additional information had
' surfaced after the motion was mad.e. The Committee wantec� to va�ida.te tha.t inforrnation
before the Cou�acil acted on �t. The information tha.t ha.d surfaced was the expense to
construct a soccer field on the church groperty, renting the property from the Church and
what type of involvemenfi/agreement the City i�as with the Centennial Soccer Club. Mr.
Peters�n explained that the Soccer Club has not donated anything (manetarily or
voluntarily) to the City, and therefore, can't really sa.y much about the fields or the
condition of the fields. Mr. Peterson also commented tha.t to relocate the fencing and
�lien turn azound and relncate it back, would be very costly and time consuming. He
explained that his original motion was to try to make at least one of the fields (softball vs.
soccer) regutation size standards. Currently, neither the so$bail nar the soccer fields are
of regulation standards. He would like to see at least one of them brought within
regula.tion. Mr. Peterson a]so mentioned that if the softbal� fields wer�e made to be within
regulation standards, more tournaments could be offered, which in turn would ge�erate
more money. Additionally, tournaments would be a great source of income for the
concession s�elter and the concession shelter would � an added attraction for the
tournaments. As far as the soccer fields go, both could be made into "U10" (youth under
age 10) fields. He is positive two (2) U14 fields will fit into the same location. Mr. Lee
commented that if the Parks and R�creation Committee is looking ta invest a subs#antial
amount of money into this park this year, they should try to make it as useable as
possible. Mr. Walter expressed his cancern over loosing an adult soccer field. Ms. Peil
agreed with Iv1r. Peterson and Mr. Lee that the Committee should make the so#�ball field
regulation standard, usable hy adults, ta help generate iacome. To have two (2) U10
soccer fields would be the trest use of the area. The followiug motion was amended as
follows:
Motion by Mr. Peterson, seconded by 14�Ir, LeBlane to recommend to City Cmuncil to �
move the backstop on �eld #2, and the �utfietd fencing on field #3, at Laurie I
LaMotte Memorial Park, per USSSA standards an� reqairementa, with an atnount I
not to e�ceed �35U0.00. Al�o to estabtish another UAO soccer field per Soccer I
Association requirements. Porter, i7reVine, Peterson, Peil, I,ee — aye. Walter — nay. �
l0�totion carried.
Lions �oncession Stand
'T�e Parks and Recreation Cominittee elected to no longer refer to the conc�ssion shelter
as the "Lions" Concession Stand. Since the Lions Club will not be funding the shelter, it
should no longer be referred to as the "Lions Concession Stand". Ms. Lien suggested
ta.bling this item until the City leams if it is awazded the DNR Grant. If the City is not
awarded the grant, the concession shelter will not be happening this year at all.
Discussion ensued related to Mr. Bisek's proposal for a"temporary concession stand",
and the following motion was made:
�
� 3
- i
Motion by Ms. Pe�l, secouded by Mr. Port�r to reco�amend to City Council approval
of Mr. Basek's request altowing him to sel� concessions at Laurie LaMotte Park
(ezcluding the Fete des Lacs weekeDd} temporarily, through the yeax 2001. Mr.
Bisek wiil be responsible for pulliag �II �aecessary permits and absoa-bing all c�st�
incurred, including sales taz. All in favor. MotiQn carried unanimously.
The Parks and Recreation ComYnittee is not looking for a s�ecific portion of the profits
from Mr. Bisek, but ra.ther, a monetary donatiom would be greatly appreciated.
Ms. Lien will matify Mr. Bisek of the results of his request.
Building Plans for a Goncession Stand in No. St. Faui
IVIr. Peterson e�cplained he had received the blueprints from the City of No. St. Paul for a
concession stand at one of their gazks. He alsa received blueprints from the City of
Vadnais Heights for one of their parks.
At this time, the Parks and Recreation Committee elected to table this item until further
notice, until additianal informatian is abtained (DNR Grant).
Wl�eels Park
Mr. Peterson e�plained that Ie�Ir. Palzer had given him a list of "add-ons" for the electricai
at Laurie LaMotte Park (i.e.: scareboard, light poles, gro�nding of poles, etc.). The
amount of the add-ons is $8344 in addition to the original bid. Ai�er discussion the
following motion was made:
Mmtion by Mr. Feters�n, seconded by lYir. Walter to recammend to City Council
approval �f the add-on'�; to anclude fencing and grQUnd �vork arountd the electracal
boz, and tl�e relocation �nd �viring of the scorebaard at Laurie I,alVdotte Park. All
in favor MOt10�1 CAPd'A@(I IdDaIIIlT10115F�
Ms. Lien e�lai�ed she had ineluded a copy of an invitatian she had sent to all who had
attended the Infomaational Meeting held back in October of 2000, inviting them to the
upcoming Wheels Park 1VIeeting. She alsa included a copy of th� fl�er distributed at the
� local convenience stores for promotion of the same meeting. Ms. Lien mentioned she
had spoke with Tom Peterson (City Engine�r) regarc�..ing the status mf the concrete and
electrical at LaMotte Park. According to Mr. Peterson, the concrete should be complete
� by the end of June, and the electrical by the end of July. Technically, the VVheels Park
could be up and running by th� mid tc� end of July, but with the Fete des Lacs
C�lebration, the equipment cannot be in�stalled until after August 5`".
Ms. Lien mentioned Ellen Nigon �f the White Bear Press had co�tacted her. Ms. Nigon
was looking for infaaxnation regarding the Wlyeels Park (i.e.: dates, funding, staffmg,
fees, �tc.). She anticipates the artieie being published on June 6�` or 13�'.

The Committee discussed the upcoming Wheels Park 1Vleeting, and how they would like
to conduct the meeting. Af�er discusszon, the Committee directed. Ms. I.ien to do the
following before the meeting:
l. Obtain pictur�s offthe Internet of equipment offered by both vendors, to hang
and distnbute at the meeting.
2. Create a voting ballot for the youth to vote on their choice of vendor, and what
pxeces of eqtupment they would like to see.
3. Create some type of "Code of Conduct" that the youth will need to sign,
specifying responsbility, respect, maintenance, ownership, timefratnes, and
the fact that the park and/or admittance into tlie park can be taken away if
abused.
Mr. Lee questioned if helmets a.nd pads would be required. Mr. Peterson explained the
requirements of a Tier I Skate Pazk, and the fact that prc�per signage i� a key component
in requiring helmets and pads, or not. We would need to have a sign that reads `�t.ide at
Your Own Risk". Mr. Peterson has been in conta.ct with the League of Mirulesota Cities
and when we are at the point of constructing signs, he has a conta.ct to help with the �
proper verbia.ge. !
I
Ths Committee briefly discussed the possibility of a Grand Upening. I
I
McBride Park Timbers and Brush Abuttin,..g Pond j
Mr. Walter ex�lained he had visited McBride Pazk and had come tv the eonclusion that
not all of the timbers will need to tse replaced. Approximateiy 17 will need repla�ement. I
Mr. Peterson had pounaed down the nails that wer� popping out, but it is a temporary fix.
They wilt pop out again. Mr. VUalter e�lanaed that because there isn't any type of �
support on the outside of the timb�rs, they are leaning outward due to the amount of
pressure fram the sand inside. If dirt were buiit up around the outside of the timbers it �
would keep them from leaning. Mr. LeBlanc commented that maybe the Committee '
should consider a more perma�ent so�ution. If the Cominittee just replaces the timbers,
the same thing will happ�n again in a few yeazs, and the Committ�e well be Iooking at the
sa�ne problem all over. Mr. Walter felt a more equita.ble solution would be to spend
approximately $3,400 now to repiace the 17 timbers vs, spending a substantial amount
more to re-do the entire play azea with fibar and conerete. He didn't feel comfortable
investing a lot of money into an already estab}ished park, for a border that already exists.
There are some areas in the City that don't have an.ything. Even if it means this is just a
temporary fiac that buys the Committee five or six years.
Mr. Peterson mentioned there are two (2) benches at McBride Park that aze wobbly and
� worn. He would l�e to replace them with two (2) benches that are currently in storage at
Public Works. The Committee agreed with the replacement.

I V
l0�iotaon by Mr. Walter, seconded by Mr. L�e to recommend to City Counci!
repiacement of the 17 b�d timbers with new timbers, at Tracie McB�ide Park.
Additionally to purcl�a�e enough black dirt to build up a berm around the play-
structnre, at an estimated cost of 53500, with the assist�nee of the Public Works
department. All ia favor, Matiou e�,rried ananamously.
NIs. D�Vine mentioned the condition of the brush around #he pomd is poor, and she would
like to see i# removed. After discussion, the �ommittee c�rected Mr. Peterson to speak
�vi#h Mr. Palzer to find out the prvs/cons of removing the brush, Mr, Peterson will phone
poll each member with Mr. Palzer's recommendations. The Committee is looking tc�
have it completed before July 10�' far the Pond Study (LVarga activity).
Bud�et Rec�uest for 2002
The Committee elected to have another "Tour o£the Parks" aneeting to determine the
needs of each park l�fore making recommendaxions for the 2�02 Budg�t. The taur will
take plac� on Nl�nday, June 1 l, 2001 at 6:�Q p.m. beginning at Eagle Park.
NEW BUSINES�
Reschedule Julv Meetin�
Due to the July 4`� Holiday, the C�mmittee elected to hold the July Parks and IZecr�ation
Mee�ing on Tuesday, July 10, 20q1.
Letter from Ia�ce Hayd�n (6965 Du�re Itd.) Regarding Satelli�e at Ea�le Park
Ms. Lien e�lained thax after the satellite had been relocated for a se�ond tinne at Eagle
Par�, she rec�ived another letter requesting again that it be moved. Mr. Porter
commented that he and 1VIr. LeBlanc had visited the park prior to the meeting. Th�y
viewed the satellite from the Hayden's property and came to the conclusion that the
�Iaydens can only see the very top of t}�e s�.tellite. Once the trees are in full bloom, they
won't be able to see it at all. The Comr�ui�ee discussed the Satellite S#andards and came
to the �onclusion that the satellite will $emain vvhere it is currently ltrcated. Mr, LeBlanc
w�ll draft a letter and forward to Ms. Lien to proof, put on letterhead and forward tc� the
Hayden's.

Re: Ag-Lime at LalVlotte Park i
It has been brought to my attention tha.t with the relocation of the fencing and �
backstops at LaMotte Park, that additiona.l ag-lime will be needed. Mr. Peterson I
ha.s called the Little L�ague and another source a couple of times and left
messages, but hasn't received a call back yet. He is hoping the Litt1e League will
donate ag-lime, as they have in the past. He will continue to try reach them. If �ot,
this will be an additional ex}�ense for the Parks and Recreation Committee that
ha.sn't been pla.nned for. This needs to be c�mpleted by the end of 3u1y for the
Tournament I
Mr. ]Petersor� will not be able to attend the meeting on 3uly 10�', but will update me I
prior to the meeting so I can update you at the meetirig. I
Thank you!

Re: Whe�ls Park
A. Follow-up on Wheels Pazk Meeting
B. Voting Tabulations
C. Proposed Expenses �,
D. Rules and Regulations / Signage �
E. Advisory Board �
F. Grand Opening '
G. Article in Quad �,
There were 32 people signed in for the Wheels Park Meeting. Included in your packet is I
the voting form with the final tabu�ztions - most popular being circled. The fun box was
the most popular piece with 18 votes. I was requested to submit the propvsed
e�cpenditures for the wheels pazk and the current expenses to date, to City Council.
Attached, please find the Parks and Recreations Proposed Ezpenditures for the Year
2001, and an updated Park Fuud balance sheet. You will notice interest for the yeaz
2000 on the balance sheet. We aze stiil researching the $7k overage from the year 2000,
and whether it needs to be expended from 2001 Park Dedication Fees, or from the
General Fund. Per direction by Mr. March, the $7k overage was removed. You will
notice the total cost for the Laurie LaMotte Park Improvements is $181,189 - which does
not include shipping/handling for the wheel park equipment. A breakdown of the
proposed wheel pazk equipment is as follows:
S ateWave SunRa_pm Solutions
Fun Box $ 6,840 Breaker $2,195
Mini Half Pipe $11,240 Spine $2,695
Spine (12') $ b,270 Quarter Pipe (12') 3 495
, Quarter Pipe 5 260 $8,385
$30,600
�
i
I $30,60Q
� + 8 385
' Sub Total $38,985
' Tax (7%) + 2,729
Total $41,714 (Pius Shipping / Handlin;g)
I went with the top four (4) choices from SkateWave, and the top three (3) choices from
SunRamp Solutions. I included a"Spine" from bvth vendors, because I felt the one from
SunRamp might be used more by the bicycles, at the same time, the one from SkateWave
would be used more by the skates and skate-boards. These were the tap seven choices.
Also included is a draft "Ruies and Regulations." Please take a moment ta consider any
additions or items you would like removed (especially the ones pertaining to the
Advisary Boazd). We will need to discuss the possibility of establishing an Advisory
Board and the responsibilities of the same. It is my understanding that the Advisory
Board should only be observing what is going on at the park, and calling the appropriate
parties when necessary. We don't want to put the Advisory Board members in any kind
ofuncomfortable position (i.e.: friends, enemies, siblings, etc.). We have had six (6)
kids stap by City Hall to sign up for the Advisory Board (see attached list).
Mr. Peterson has been working with someone from the League af Minnesota Cities and '
Berkley Risk Administrators regazding proper signage. I have mcluded a fax from Tom �
Gross, which outlines recommendations to be placed on the sign. I will have more �
inforrnation at the meeting from Mr. Peterson. We will need to get on this ASAP for the '
Grand Opening. �
i
What date do we want to set the Grand Opening for, and wl�t exactly do we want to do �
for the opening. Calendar included.
Last, included is a copy of the azticle that ran in the Quad last week. Some of the
information is a little o� but far the most part it's a pretty good story.
Thank you!

Re: Satellite at Eagle Park I
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hayden:
Doug Porter and I met with you at your home near Eagle Park to discuss the placement of
the satellite, prior to the Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting on June 6, 2001. The
Committee discussed several options. Moving the satellite to the location you had
suggested causes problems with servicing. There are possibilities of planting a tree, but
concerns have risen regarding the parent's ability to see their children while they are
using the satellite. Atso, the size of the tree needed to block the entire top of the satellite i
would have to`be considerably large and may not be easily transplanted. It may not
survive the transplant, or at the very least will require time to recover. By the time the I
tree would recover and start to flourish, the other trees between the satellite and your
home should be big enough to totally block the view. Its current location seems to be the
most suitable.
You asked a couple of questions regarding an adjacent wetland. Again, you should direct
those questions to the Rice Creek Watershed District at: 651-766-4191.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
iAJt�.�i't� ����G ���

VIII. OLD BUSINESS
1. Downtown Revitalization Timeline
Mr. March stated that the item was placed on the agenda to establish a timeline for the
project. Mr. March desired that Council arrange a meeting with property owners to
inform them of the City's proposed changes and to forwards letters to them regarding
same.
- Mr. Peterson stated he had sketched a timeline and if the City desired to commence
constxuction this year, Council would need to schedule meetings to review the scope of
the project, costs, and determine whether to bond for the project. Mr. Peterson stated that
Council would need to approve plans at their June 13 meeting in order to commence the
bid and construction process by August.
Mr. March stated that it may be possible to bond for both the 21 Avenue project and this
project.
Mayor Swedberg directed Staff to forward a letter to residents concerning the downtown
revitalization project.
Motion bv Council Member Broussard Vickers, second by Council Member Ca�ra
to schedule a work session on June 12, 2001, at 6:30 p.m. to discuss the downtown

Council Meeting Minutes
Ma or Swedber reviewed the oal do nt
y s cume and re uested in ut.
g g q P
Motion bv Council Member Capra, seconded by CounciI Member Nelson to
approve the goals document as presented.
Council Member Nelson requested that the document be grammaratically corrected prior
to forwarding to committees and commissions for their review.
Council Member Travis stated that he felt some of the goals were lofty, but stated that all
the items in the document were good items for the City.
Council Member Broussard Vickers stated that she had an issue with the sentence that
implied that the City would build a multi-purpose facility.
Consensus was to remove the sentence referenced by Council Member Broussard
Vickers.
Mr. Brian Walters, 1855 Quebec, stated that his issues with the document stemmed from
the tone of the document which implied that Council would inform I
commissions/committees as to what they would do rather than let the Committees '�,
formulate ideas based on public input and present them to Council. Mr. Walters was
comfortable with the document subsequent to Council's modification.
Mayar Swedberg thanked Council Members for going through the process to approve the I
goals document.
Council Member Nelson explained to Mr. Walters that she feels it is Council's job to
keep commissions/committees focused so issues and efforts are not duplicated.
Ms. Brenner, 7206 Clear Ridge, thanked Mayor Swedberg for all of his work on the goals
document and stated that she felt it was a valuable tool.
IX. NEW BUSINESS
l. Eagle Pass Town Home Association Petition
Mr. Hoeft stated he had reviewed the petition and there were no specific procedural
obligations on the part of the City for potentially accepting responsibility for Ojibway
Drive. Mr. Hoeft stated that the primary concern of residents is maintaining the street,
however, Council needs to consider the substandard width and unknown base of the
street.
Council Member Capra questioned the town home associations joint responsibilities.
Council Member Broussard Vickers explained that the �otential members of the third
town home association, that would be formed with the 2 Phase, would be driving across
the other town home association' road. Council Member Broussard Vickers stated that
Page 3 of 12
May 23, 2001
Council Meeting Minutes
following Council Member Capra's suggestion, the developer would need to completely
modify his plans.
Mr. March stated that he suggested to Mr. Quigley to attempt to resolve the issue
regarding maintaining Ojibway Drive prior to coming before Council. Mr. March
suggested tabling this matter in an attempt to allow ample time for the meeting to occur.
Council Member Broussard Vickers stated that most of the residents were unaware or did
not understand the issues surrounding being responsible for a private street. Council
Member Broussard Vickers stated that while these issues are civil issues, she feels if the
City were to take responsibility for the road it would go a long way toward smoothing the
way for the rest of the development.
Mr. March stated that other communities have private streets and in his opinion, the City
did not make a mistake with the original development and the private street. In Mr.
March's opinion there would not be an issue if residents were members of one (1)
association rather than two (2) or three (3).
Mayor 5wedberg questioned whether Voyager Court was also a private road. Mr. March
concurred.
Council Member Nelson stated that she felt if the City assumed Ojibway Drive, it would
- be setting a precedence.
Council Member Capra stated that she had concerns with the width of the road.
Mr. Hoeft stated that appears that the town home associations are trying to take the easy
way out and request that the City assume responsibility for Ojibway Drive rather than
coming to a mutual agreement between themselves. Mr. Hoeft stated that he does not
mean to say that the request is inappropriate, but sees the matter as the City inheriting a
potential problem. Mr. Hoeft recommended that the City look at what is in the best
interest of the City as a whole, rather than the town home associations.
Council Member Capra questioned whether the City had taken over any private roads in
the past. Mr. March stated that the City had not.
Motion � Mayor Swedberg, seconded by Council Member Capra to table this
matter for further information. All in favor. Motion carried unanimouslv.
2. 21 Avenue Update
Mr. March stated that he had scheduled a meeting with representatives from the City of
Lino Lakes to discuss the feasibility report for this project. Mr. March stated that one (1)
of the issues discussed is the fact that the City never signed the Joint Powers Agreement.
Mr. March stated that the Joint Powers Agreement will be revised to take into
consideration the City's standards for roadways and presented to Council for review.

Council Meeting Minutes
�
i Council Mernber Capra questioned whether the road would be extended south to Cedar
Street. Mr. March stated that they would only go as far as the exception property, as the
Cities would need to condemn the house, as it is non-conforming. Mr. March stated that
this is not a desire.
3, Commercial Building�Design Concepts (Downtown Revitalization — Shea
Architects)
Mr. March stated he is requesting approval to expend $2,000 for plans to present to
potential, commercial developers who have an interest in developing in Centerville.
Council Member Capra stated that she had recently spoke with a resident who lives in the
Willow Glen town homes who stated that the architectural design of the County Bank
was very pleasing. Council Member Capra stated that she then asked the resident her
opinion regarding the design concepts for the City. The resident indicated that she was in
favor of more commercial developments modeled after the bank's design.
Mr. March stated that if would be nice to be a step ahead of developers and provide them
with a design concept when that approached the City. I
Council Member Nelson questioned the funding for the plans. Mr. March stated that the
funds would be expended from the General Fund.
Council Member Travis stated that the developer would own the property and nothing I
ensures that the developer adheres to the plan that the City would provide them.
Council Member Broussard Vickers stated she was not comfortable paying $2,600 for a
plan that the developer does not have to adhere to. Council Member Broussard Vickers I
also stated that the City does not ordinances in place to force the developer to use the I
plan. Council Member Broussard Vickers suggested, if Council desires to provide some
guidance, referring developers to County Bank and indicating that the development !
should be modeled after the bank. Council Member Broussard Vickers also stated that
she was not in favor of this for the same reason she did not desire to pay a consultant to
provide three (3) sign plans for the City.
Motion by Council Member Nelson, seconded by Council Member Capra to
authorize Shea Architects to draft a plan for business development within the Citv
in an amount not to exceed $2,600.
Mr. March commented that if there is a plan in place, the City does not have to have an
ordinance to enforce the plan. Mr. March also stated that the developer would need City
approval to proceed with the project. Mr. March stated that in his opinion, $2,600 was
minimal to assist the City in providing aesthetically pleasing business construction.
Council Member Capra stated she liked that fact Shea Architects also works with
developers. Council Member Capra stated that the City of Vadnais Heights has a similar
procedure in place.

4. Ad Hoc Communications U�date
Ms. Theresa Brenner, Ad Hoc Communications Chair, stated that the survey had been
distributed in the spring newsletter. Ms. Brenner stated that the due date to return the
surveys would be June 1, 2001.
Ms. Brenner stated that the Committee had discussions with the North Metro
Telecommunications Commission representatives and intended upon following up on
ideas discussed.
Ms. Brenner stated that the Committee was in need of a way to tabulate and use the
information gathered from the surveys. She then asked Council for $100 to pay a
consultant to design a computer program that would make it easy to input the data from
the surveys and to put that information into different types of reports.
Council Member Nelson questioned whether the program could be utilized far additional
` surveys in the ftiture. Council Member Capra stated she thought that the program would
be set up for this specific survey and that the program would be beneficial.
Motion bv Council Member Nelson, seconded b_y Council Member Broussard
Vickers to aQurove an amount not to exceed $100 for a com�uter program to
tabulate the results of the recent surve�mpleted bv the Ad Hoc Committee. All in
favor. Motion carried unanimously.
Ms. Brenner requested that Council consider submitting a press release to the Quad
Community Press during the time the newsletter is not being published.
Mayor Swedberg directed Mr. March to provide the Week in Review to the Quad
Community Press for publishing during such time as the newsletter is on hold.
5. Pheasant Marsh Feasibility Study
Terry Hannah, Ground Development, was present and offered to answer questions
concerning the feasibility study.
Mr. March stated that the feasibility study had been received yesterday and Staff
forwarded same to Council Members' homes in the morning. Mr. March stated that no
action was needed at this point.
Mr. Peterson stated that Council needed to review the project and noted that Council
needed to set a public hearing on the feasibility study in order to keep on the established
, timeline. Mr. Peterson then reviewed the plan.

' Council Meeting Minutes
Council Member Capra questioned whether the trail would be constructed during Phase I.
Mr. Peterson indicated that due to the grading that would neec3 to be done in the area of
' the trail during Phase II the trail will not be constructed until grading is completed. He
then noted there is a triangle piece of trail that will be constructed during Phase I as it
would not be accessible after homes are built.
Council Member Capra questioned whether the City could mark a crosswalk on a County
road. Mr. Peterson indicated the City would need to ascertain County requirements.
Council Member Nelson questioned whether either the Parks and Recreation Committee
or the Planning and Zoning Commission had reviewed the plan. Mr. March explained
that the City has not committed to going forward with the project as there has been no
final plat approval, no finalized Developer's Agreement, and the MUSA swap has not
been completed.
Mr. Hannah stated that the MUSA consultant planned to have the documentation
completed by June 13, 2001. He then indicated that he planned to forward the
Developer's Agreement to Mr. Hoeft for review within a week to 10 days and that the
City should have it for review sometime during the month of June. Mr. Hannah further
explained that the final plat should be available sometime;nid-June to July 1, 2001.
Council Member Capra questioned whether the public hearing could be held without the
MUSA swap approval.
Mr. Hannah explained that the City needed to hold the public hearing and then submit the I '
MUSA swap plan to the Metropolitan Council who should be able to provide an answer
within two (2) to three (3) weeks.
Mayor Swedberg asked that Mr. Hannah have documents ready ahead of the hearing for
Council review. Mr. Hannah stated he would have documents to Council ten (10) days
prior to Council consideration.
Mr. March noted that Council has a copy of the 429 process and noted that the feasibility
report is the beginning step.
Mayor Swedberg questioned whether Phase III would address access issues for the two
(2) properties to the north. Mr. Hannah explained that there would be a connection street
named Partridge Place allowing access to Pheasant Lane.
Mayor Swedberg questioned whether the developer needed to build Partridge Place or
whether the cul-de-sac could stay.
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that the police and fire departments
requested that the street be designed that way for access, as it is a feeder street.
Page 7 of 12
� May 23, 2001
Council Meeting Minutes
Mr. Hannah stated that, as designed, it does not look like it would be difficult to take out
the street but stated he questioned whether it is practical to change the street this far into
the process.
Mr. Hoeft indicated there would be no problem with proposing that the area remain a cul-
de-sac when the final plat is presented.
Council Member Capra recommended that Mr. Hannah check with the police and fire
deparhnents to determine whether they would have an issue with the street remaining a
cul-de-sac.
Mr. March stated that as there is no turn around on Pheasant Lane, the cul-de-sac would
need to be modified.
Mr. Brian Walters, 1855 Quebec, stated the Parks and Recreation Committee are unsure
of the location developer intended on placing the traiL
Mr. Hannah stated that the two (2) requirements presented to him were that the trail
connects to the Hunter's Crossing trail and continue to the northeast corner and run
through the upland area.
Motion bv Council Member Broussard Vickers, second by Council Member Travis
to set a public hearin on the presented feasibilit stu ��for 3une 13, 2001. All in
favor.. Motion carried unanimouslv.
Council Member Broussard Vickers questioned the easement acquisition costs and
assessment amounts were determined. Mr. Peterson indicated they were estimated
amounts.
Council Member Broussard Vickers stated that there would be a resident who was
unhappy with the assessments and easement request as he was under the impression that
the property would not be developed.
Mr. Peterson explained that whenever sewer and water are extended, the assessment
amount is based on the number of feet of frontage.
Council Member Broussard Vickers questioned the relationship of these assessments for
this improvement project and how they are related to the project to the north. Council
Member Broussard Vickers stated that most of the cost was bore by the developer.
Council Member Broussard Vickers also stated that the assessments for residents seemed
high in this case. Mr. Peterson stated that Ground Development would pay for 93% of
the overall costs to run the services.
Council Member Broussard Vickers questioned what percentage, in relation to where
there are residents, the developer is paying. Mr. Peterson indicated the developer is
paying 50% of the costs where there are residents. He then explained that the difference
could be because there were not clear-cut frontages for the assessments to the north.
Page 8 of 12
. May 23, 2001
Council Meeting Minutes
Council Member Broussard Vickers pointed out that the developer owns almost half of
the land and the other developer owned very little of the land. Mr. March stated the
percentage the developer would be paying is 44% or $51,000 out of total $115,000. Mr.
Peterson stated that the assessment axnounts could be adjusted.
Council Member Broussard Vickers stated she felt the developer would need to pay 50%
of the cost and 50% of the other side as the developer owns the property.
' Mr. March indicated that the assessments would be discussed and considered at a public
hearing.
Mayor Swedberg questioned whether the two (2) exception properties to the north would
be assessed for water service. Mr. Hannah stated that he had agreed to pay to stub the
water service to the lot line for both lots. Mr. Hannah asked Mr. Peterson to indicate on
the plan that the service for those two (2) lots would be the same as the City prepares for
the lots to be sold in the development.
Council Member Broussard Vickers questioned whether there were any major issues tha�
Council should be aware of. Mr. Peterson stated that Council would need to discuss the ��
Lundblad, Schoeberlein, and Wilharber properties. �,
6. Lifetime Achievement Awards l i

�
Council Member Capra stated that the Committee had met to review two (2) nominees ��
and had decided to recommend awarding the Lifetime Achievement Award to both, Mr. i

Council Meeting Minutes
Council Member Broussard Vickers questioned whether Council would be requested to
, approve the candidate to fill the vacancy on the Planning and Zoning Commission at this
' meeting.
Mr. March indicated that Mr. Wilharber was at the last meeting and expressed interest but '
had not submitted a letter.
' Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that, in discussions after the last Planning
and Zoning meeting, it was determined that the Planning and Zoning Committee wanted
to make the recommendation witl�out a written submission from Mr. Wilharber.
Council Member Capra stated she would rather wait until Council received a
recommendation from the Committee.

Zonin��Committee �ending ap�roval of the Planning and Zoning Committee. All in

Commission minutes concerning a standard landscaping plan within the City.
Mr. March stated that a statement regarding same had been made by a town home
resident unhappy with the landscaping in their development. The resident requested a
standard landscaping plan for the City.
Council Member Nelson stated that the last EDC meeting had lacked a quorum and she
felt that in the future, it would be appropriate for members that are unable to attend,
contact City Hall.
Council Member Broussard Vickers stated that the Parks and Recreation Committee had
received requests to have the satellites relocated in some of the parks. The Public Works
� Department has completed same.
' Mayor Swedberg explained that residents were concerned for inappropriate activity
occurring in/around the satellites. Mayor Swedberg stated that residents were advised to
contact Centennial Lakes Police Department when they witness suspicious activity.
Council Member Nelson questioned whether the Lions would have ample funds to
,
construct a concession building at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park this summer.
Mr. March stated that he did not antici ate that the concession building would be
p
constructed this year as the City is waiting to find out if it receives grant funding and the
Lions do not have fiinds for materials at this time.
' Council Member Capra stated that on Page 3 of the Parks and Recreation Committee
minutes it noted that the Committee was going to speak to the church about using more of
Page 10 of 12
. May 23, 2001
Council Meeting Minutes
its property. Council Member Capra stated that she felt that an issue such as that should
come to Council and Council should make the contact with the church.
Council Member Broussard Vickers clarified that the Committee has two (2) members
that are members of the church and as this is a request to use the land for soccer fields,
the Committee felt that it was appropriate to have same contact the church.
Council Member Capra stated she felt the issue should have come before Council.
Council Member Broussard Vickers stated that the Committee saw the issue as strictly a
Parks and Recreation issue that they took measures to handle.
Council Member Nelson questioned the comments on Page 5 of the Parks and Recreation
Committee minutes that indicated a resident had wanted to rent the softball fields but
would not be allowed to.
Council Mernber Broussard Vickers explained he is a coach who wanted to reserve the
softball fields at certain times. She further explained that he is part of the Centennial
Little League and there is already a structure they are supposed to use and go through.
The Parks and Recreation Committee decided not to circumvent the system. She also �
noted that the fields were already booked. '�

one (1) at a time as interest grows.
Mr. March reported that the City would need to reserve a room for the holiday party if the
City desired to hold the event at Majestic Oaks again this year. He then asked if the

Motion by Mavor Swedberg, seconded bv Council Member Capra to open the
public hearing. All in favor. Motion carried unanimousl�
Mayor Swedberg opened the public hearing at 7:42 p.m.
Mr. Peterson gave a brief overview of the proposed development and indicated that there
would be seventy-seven (77) residential lots constructed in three phases. He then
indicated that the improvements for sewer and water would run along the east side of
Centerville Road.
Mr. Peterson noted the draft report for assessments was meant to generate discussion and
the assessments were based on front footage. He then noted there are three (3) properties
to be assessed.
Mr. Peterson indicated that the two (2) exception properties to the north would not be
assessed as Ground Development had agreed to stub the water lines to the property line.
Terry Hannah, Ground Development, indicated he was not sure if there needed to be an
assessment or not as the agreement with the two (2) property owners was to bring water
to the curb in front of their houses. Mr. Peterson indicated there would not be a need for
an assessment for those two (2) properties. �
Council Member Nelson indicated that the previous assessment for Mr. Wilharber totaled
$45,653 and was reduced to $22,826, which is half of the original assessment. She then
noted that the Dide assessment was approximately $1,638, more than half.
Mr. Peterson indicated there was a charge to run the pipe from the center to the edge of
the road.
Mr. Peterson explained the formula he used to arrive at the assessments for the Dide
residence and noted that typically both sides of the street would be assessed but indicated
there is no one to assess for the other side in this situation. He then indicated the
remainder of the assessment falls to Mr. Wilharber and Ground Development with the
majority going to Ground Development. He further noted that Mr. Vanderbeek could not
be assessed again and noted he had added that cost to Ground Development.
Mayor Swedberg indicated that no matter which formula is used, the estimate to the City
is $37,000 and noted there are really four (4) entities paying for the improvements, the
City, Ground Development, Wilharber and Dide.
Mr. Peterson indicated that Mr. Vanderbeek was assessed more than any of the three (3)
options on his property last year because that is the way the numbers worked out for that
assessment.

Council Member Nelson questioned whether the costs were the same for Hunter's
Crossing. Mr. Peterson indicated that the Hunter's Crossing assessments were slightly
less as, in this development, the improvements need to be run farther than for Hunter's
Crossing.
Mr. March indicated that trunk costs are accounted for in the sewer and water fund.
Council Member Nelson questioned whether Council needed to select an assessment
schedule or if it would be completed at the public hearing meeting.
Mayor Swedberg indicated that the Comprehensive Plan does not show Dupre Road
connecting to Centerville Road and questioned whether the Comprehensive Plan needed
to be modified.
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated the Comprehensive Plan was a general
guide as far as actual streets go and indicated the main issue governed by the
Comprehensive Plan is land usage.
Mr. March indicated that the consultant had modified the form to indicate that the entire
development entered into MUSA rather than the City needing to amend the Plan at a later
date. He further noted that the consultant had indicated that the Metropolitan Council has
modified its policy on development and is encouraging cities to develop as rapidly as
they desire.
Mayar Swedberg questioned whether there would be a sidewalk along Dupre Road as it
is a collector street with faster traffic.
Mr. Hannah stated he did not have the plan with him, but stated he believed there was a
sidewalk indicated on the plan as is required.
Council Member Travis indicated that there is a sidewalk on the north side of Dupre
Road.
Mayor Swedberg questioned pond cleaning and whether access would be available. Mr.
Peterson indicated the City would be responsible for cleaning out the pond and said it
would need to be done once every ten (10) to twenty (20) years.
Mayor Swedberg asked if there was a plan in place for a turn lane on Centerville Road.
Mr. Hannah indicated that he would need to comply with Anoka County highway
requirements. He then indicated he thought there might be a need for a turn lane. Mr.
Peterson indicated he did not think there would be a need for a turn lane.
Mr. Vanderbeek, 6892 Centerville Road, told Council that driveway access would need
' to be maintained at his residence during construction as his wife operates a daycare
business out of their home. Mr. Hoeft indicated the developer is required to maintain
ingress and egress for them.

Mr. Vanderbeek indicated that he had granted the City an easement when the Hunter's
Crossing development came in and was still owed several trees. He then indicated that he
is having some flooding problems with the ditch where the developer put down sod rather
than leaving it low. Mr. Peterson indicated that the issues with Mr. Vanderbeek's
property would be resolved during the construction of this new development.
Mr. Vanderbeek indicated he could not believe that two (2) pieces of property the same
size could be assessed two (2) different amounts one (1) year apart for the same
improvements.
Mr. Peterson indicated there was more than one (1) option for assessments on the new
development and noted that there are different costs associated with each new
development which led to the difference in assessments.
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that different projects have different costs,
but noted that they are paying the same percentage of the improvements even though it is ,
a different number.
i
Mr. Vanderbeek felt that Council needed to standardize the assessments for residents' I
improvements. j
Mayor Swedberg questioned whether the assessment methods have been consistent in the I
past. - I
Mr. Hoeft indicated that the City may or may not have an assessment policy in place. If I
an assessment policy is in place, the policy would describe how improvements are I
typically assessed. Mr. Hoeft stated that the City needs to complete two (2) items. The j
first is to establish that the method of assessing the amounts was an acceptable method
and the second is to determine whether the assessment to the property is less than ar I
equal to the benefit to that property. He further noted that, if the benefit were equal to or i
less than the benefit to the properiy, the assessment would stand.
Council Member Capra questioned whether the final numbers for Hunter's Crossing were
higher. Mr. Hoeft indicated that they were but also noted the figures from the middle
column on the report were the same percentages as used in Hunter's Crossing.
Mr. Hoeft indicated that it is not uncommon to have higher assessments as the costs of
the project can change.
Mr. Hoeft indicated the City does not need to use the same method as was used for
Hunter's Crossing but indicated that Council may feel it needs to be consistent and do so.
Mayor Swedberg asked if the method used is the common method. Mr. Hoeft indicated
that the Hunter's Crossing development and this development are very similar and noted
Page 4 of 25
City Council Meeting Minutes
' June 13, ZDO1
that there may not be other developments that are comparable so the assessment methods
used in other developments may not be the best guide for how to assess this development.
Mr. Vanderbeek questioned the elevation of the property behind his property. He then
asked if the ditch would stay open behind him. Mr. Peterson concurred and stated that it
will drain the entire Phase I portion of the project.
Mr. Vanderbeek indicated the pond in back of his property acts as a stopgap for runoff in
the spring holding water until it runs out into the ditch. Mr. Vanderbeek stated that if the
elevation of the property behind him changes the water would flow onto his property
rather than into the pond and out to the ditch.
Mr. Hannah indicated he would talk to the engineers; however, the area Mr. Vanderbeek
was referring to, would remain untouched, open space and should continue to hold water
as it currently does.
Mr. Vanderbeek indicated a previous plan for the property had contained a pond and this
plan does not. Mr. Vanderbeek stated concern that because there was no pond on this
plan.
Council Member Broussard Vickers questioned whether the ditch had ever been cleaned
out. Mr. Vanderbeek indicated it had not been cleaned out in the fifteen (15) years he I
had owned the property.
Mr. March stated that he thought the ditch was cleaned several years ago. �I
Mayor Swedberg requested that Mr. March forward a letter to the Rice Creek Watershed
District requesting them to consider cleaning the ditch. ,
Mr. Vanderbeek indicated he had given the Metropolitan Council an easement on his
property to run sewer and they closed the ditch with the work they completed.
Mayor Swedberg stated that the Metropolitan Council had not completed repairing the
yards that were torn up during construction and noted there is erosion as a result. Mr.
March indicated the Metropolitan Council was not completed with the project.
Mr. Vanderbeek indicated the Metropolitan Council had three (3) months remaining to
finish the project.
Mr. Hannah indicated that the delineated wetland area has to be protected during
construction with silt fencing. Mr. Hannah stated that the Watershed District would
monitor construction to make sure the wetland area is properly protected.
Mayor Swedberg summarized Mr. Vanderbeek's issues to be that he is owed several
trees, flooding in front of his property, his wife's daycare business needs access during
Page 5 of 25

construction and the manhole cover is underwater. Mayor Swedberg stated that Mr.
Vanderbeek had indicated a concern for drainage behind his property.
Mr. Wilharber indicated there were some properties along Centerville Road that were
unable to be assessed due to side-yard frontage, which increased the costs for others.
Mr. Wilharber indicated that the developer cannot put more water on your properiy than
is already there. He then indicated that there were ponds behind his property and that he
was concerned that the ponds would become larger. Mr. Hannah has indicated no
additional water would be put on his property.
Mr. Wilharber indicated that the ditch behind Mr. Vanderbeek's house is not a County
ditch but was created by farmers who worked together to create a series of ditches to
drain their properties out to Centerville Lake. He then indicated that the only County
ditch in the area is Ditch #47.
Mr. Wilharber indicated that the ditch Mr. Vanderbeek has an issue with also drains his j
property on the west. He then noted he had talked to Mr. Hannah about his concern for
drainage.
Mr. Wilharber indicated he received sticker shock when he received the first estimated '
assessment amount. Mr. Wilharber stated that a portion of his property is not in MUSA
until 2006 and the remaining portion in 2011. He further noted it is pretty tough to ,
swallow the assessment amount, as the property will not be in MUSA for quite some
time.
Mr. March indicated that the Metropolitan Council had indicated they would approve
putting the entire City in MUSA.
Mr. Wilharber stated that Mr. Peterson stated that typically both sides of the street are
assessed. Mr. Wilharber questioned why a portion of Hunter's Crossing is not being
assessed to run the improvements down to the new development. He further noted he
thinks the City should look at doing so.
Mr. Wilharber stated that, if the development goes through, he would like sewer run
under the road to him allowing a future hook up. He also stated that this would be in the
best interest of the City, as they would not disturb the outlet for the new development to
run sewer to his property in the future.
Mr. Wilharber stated that he would like to pay for the costs to run the sewer under the
road to the point where a roadway would be put in when his property develops in the
future.
Mr. Hannah, stated that he had been receiving a multitude of information and noted he
has had trouble contacting some of the players on his side of the deal to discuss the
Page 6 of 25
City Council Meeting Minutes
June 13, 2001
information. Mr. Hannah also stated that he would like two 2 weeks to consider the
�)
assessment amounts and additional information.
Mr. Hoeft indicated that Council did not need to determine the assessment method at this
meeting and could wait for the public hearing.
Mayor Swedberg questioned whether there was a maximum dollar amount for
I assessments that would make the deVeloper decide not to proceed.
Mr. Hannah indicated he could not speak to the number as the money would come out of
the principal owner's pocket, not his. Mr. Hannah stated he needed time to review the
matter with all the players.
Mr. Hannah indicated he would like two (2) weeks to review the matter and would like
� the public hearing held in two (2) weeks.
Mr. Hoeft noted that, at the assessment hearing after receiving public input, Council
might decide to spread the assessments differently.
Mayor Swedberg indicated he would like Council to try to find a consistent method for
calculating assessments.
Council Member Broussard Vickers stated that, in prior years, there have not been ''
projects that went long stretches that affected other property owners until the Hunter's
Crossing project and this one. The City has not had a need to address issues similar to
this in the past.
Council Member Broussard Vickers noted the City is trying to accomplish the best
procedure for the most people and stated she feels the City did a good job with the
assessments for the Hunter's Crossing development.
Mr. March noted the City does have an assessment policy and he reviewed it hoping it
contained black and white language as to how to do the assessment. He then noted that
the document leaves a large amount of discretion for Council to determine the assessment
method, provided the assessment does not exceed the realized benefit to the property.
Mr. Hoeft indicated that it might be possible to defer assessment for the Wilharber
property, as they are not able to use the improvements at this time.
Mr. Hoeft indicated that under State Statute, the City is allowed to charge interest at any
rate it desires, provided it does not violate the usury laws. Mr. Hoeft also stated that if the
City desired, it did not have to charge interest on the deferred assessments.
Mr. Wilharber indicated that he realizes there would be a benefit to his property;
however, paying almost half of the assessment and not being able to realize the benefit
until several years down the road seems unfair.

Council Member Travis noted that Mr. Wilharber's property could develop in a manner
similar to Hunter's Crossing where there are several sideyards fronting on Centerville
Road. He then indicated that those with sideyards would not be able to be assessed for
improvements running along Centerville Road.
Mr. Wilharber indicated there could also be a wetland fronting Centerville Road.
Council Member Nelson indicated that this development seemed a Iot like Hunter's
Crossing.
Motion by Council Member Nelson, seconded by Council Member Broussard
Vickers to close the �ublic hearing. All in favor. Motion carried unanimousl�
Mayor Swedberg closed the public hearing at 8:55 p.m.
Council recessed at 8:55 p.m.

IV. APPEARANCES/AWARDS
1. Mr. & Mrs. Michael Baron, 7121 Centerville Road
Ms. Baron stated that she and her husband were not pleased with the method in which
Mr. March chose to handle their situation. She indicated she and her husband were
excluded from the inspection .and did not have input in same. Ms. Baron questioned why ,
they were not told of the inspection, which led to the citation.
Ms. Baron indicated that she and her husband feel they had a right to be present at the
time of the inspection and noted that, had they been there, they could have started all of
the vehicles and explained where all the different articles in the yard would be used. Ms.
Baron then handea out to Council a list of more than 40 homes also in violation of
Ordinance #4.
Council Member Nelson questioned whether Ms. Baron wished to make a complaint
against the residences listed, as the ordinance is enforced by complaint. Ms. Baron
indicated she and her husband were at the meeting to obtain information as to why they
were not informed of the inspection. Ms. Baron stated that she had received copies of
documents out of their folder at City Hall and found an e-mail dated June of 1999, which
referenced to her husband's health. Ms. Baron questioned why the City was discussing
her husband's health and indicated she was very disturbed by the e-mail and feels their
privacy has been invaded.

Ms. Baron indicated she and her husband had received an extension on January 9, 2001
due to weather. She then suggested that there might be a conflict of interest involved in
the way the issue is being handled.
Ms. Baron indicated they have new neighbors who have gotten involved in the petition
�, with the ongoing harassers. She noted she and her husband have sought legal advice and
� were told to seek restraining orders against two (2) of the neighbors. She then asked for
' clarification as to why the City was discussing her husband's health and what it had to do
with this matter.
Mr. Hoeft indicated that since a citation had been issued Council needed to be cautious
when discussing the matter. He then indicated that, if the Barons wish to propose some
type of resolution, he would document that and forward it to Council for input.
Ms. Baron indicated that the lawyer they discussed the matter with indicated the City is
looking for compliance with the citation. She then noted the citation is vague and asked
what about her property was specifically not in compliance.
Mr. Hoeft indicated he would make a note of the request and noted that when the Barons
make their court appearance they should request the same information at that time. He
then noted that, if the information is in the court file, he would give it to them and if it is
not, he would get the information from Mr. March. i
Ms. Baron questioned why there were e-mails concerning her husband's health. Mr. l i i
Hoeft indicated he was not aware of the e-mails and could not comment.
Council Member Nelson indicated that she would need to review her notes but stated, to
the best of her recollection, she had received a call from a neighbor with a complaint that
she forwarded by e-mail to City Staff for review.
Mr. Hoeft indicated that Mr. March had provided him with a copy of a document that had
given the Barons a two (2) week extension to bring the property into compliance and
noted that the extension was granted based on the fact that Mr. Baron had injured his
back at work. �
Mayor Swedberg indicated that the proper venue for this discussion was now District I �
Court.
Mr. Hoeft indicated that any information that the Barons wished to provide is welcomed,
but stated it should also be provided in the proper forum and noted that is at the District
Court proceeding.
Ms. Baron indicated her intention was to attexnpt to resolve this matter the easy way. She
then indicated that her husband may have hurt his back and, if that is the case, then she
apologizes.

Council Member Capra asked Mr. March to make sure that Ms. Baron has all the
information from her folder. Mr. March agreed to do so.
Ms. Baron indicated she had intended to ask for a second inspection. -
Council Member Capra asked if residents are usually present for inspections.
Mr. March noted that, in reviewing the Barons' file, he discovered the City has sent out
11 notices in regards to ordinance violations over the last 13 years. He noted there were
more prior to his arrival the City. He then noted that Mr. Palzer and an officer viewed the
property from the street because Mr. Palzer had called twice to scheduie the inspection
and was unable to reach the Barons. He further noted that when the of�cer viewed the
property, it was at his discretion whether or not to issue the citation and he felt the
citation should be issued.
Ms. Baron questioned the City's intent regarding the 40 (forty) residences on the list she
had provided.
Mr. Hoeft stated that, if Ms. Baron desires to make complaints against the 40 (forty)
residences, then the information would be forwarded on to Mr. Palzer or an officer to
view the properties. '�
I
Ms. Baron indicated she is concerned that she and her husband are not being treated the ��
same way as any other citizen in the community. She then noted that, if it is not okay for �
them, it is not okay for the other properties. I
I
i
Mayor Swedberg questioned the period of time the Barons would have to resolve the �
matter prior to going to court. i
i
Mr. Hoeft explained that there is an ample amount of time between the issuance of a �,
citation and the start of a jury trial. '
Council Member Capra questioned the possibility of resolving the matter prior to going
to court. She then questioned who would determine what resolution would be required.
Mr. Hoeft indicated that, if at this point in time the Barons have a proposal for bringing
the property into compliance, they should propose it to his office either before their first
appearance, at the appearance, or after the appearance. He then noted he wouid forward
the proposal to Mr. March for Council consideration and, if the proposal is adequate, the
action would be suspended.
Mr. Hoeft indicated that he would not receive any information on the file until the first
�� appearance. He then noted it might be possible to obtain information from Mr. March if

Council Member Capra indicated that, on a personal note, she knows how stressful these
situations can be and stated she hoped resolution could be obtained.
Ms. Baron asked when she could get information from Mr. March. Mr. March indicated

pointed out areas where improvements could be made with the City's record keeping. '
. Council Member Capra asked how the size of Centerville falls based on the sizes of the
other.cities he audits. Mr. McDonald indicated Centerville fell right in the middle for the
size of cities he audits.
Mayor Swedberg indicated the xnanagement letter provided by Mr. McDonald was
helpful and well written and thanked him far it. i
�
Council Member Nelson asked whether the discrepancies related to year-end adjustments I ',
were due to not doing monthly bank reconciliation's. '

Mr. McDonald indicated he could schedule a meeting to discuss reporting formats and
what Council would like to see.

VIII. OLD BUSINESS ��
1. Downtown Revitalization
Mayor Swedberg indicated that there was a meeting last night to discuss the downtown
revitalization project.
Mr. March indicated that the purpose of the meeting was to gather input in regards to the
project. He then indicated that there were thirteen (13) property owners in attendance;
eight (8) of ten (10) with property on Centerville Road were not in favor of having water
service.
Council Member Capra questioned whether the City has a process for verifying the
signatures on a petition that is received. Mr. March indicated that the process is that the
clerk is required to measure and certify that 35% of the property owners for the scope of
the project have signed the petition. He then indicated that the clerk had indicated that
Staff had checked and 35% of the properiy owners had signed the petition.
Council Member Broussard Vickers questioned whether the requirement was 35% of the
number of lineal feet of the project. Mr. March indicated that the requirement is 35% af
Page 12 of 25
City Council Meeting Minutes
7une 13, Z001
the total project which is 1,000 feet of lineal water main which means there needed to be
property owners totaling 350 feet that signed the petition.
Mr. Bill Bisek, 7098 Centerville Road, indicated he was at the meeting last night and left
fairly discouraged with some of the remarks and the actions of some of the neighbors in
the area. He then indicated that based on previous research, there has been interest in
downtown revitalization.
Mr. Bisek indicated that he feels in order to revitalize the downtown area; the City needs
to bring water services to the downtown area. He then noted that the discussion turned
ugly and disrespectful to Council and the Mayor and there was very little discussion
concerning water.
Mr. Bisek indicated that even though his neighbors felt that the assessment is a major part
of the issue, they are also uneasy about the development of the downtown area and they
are using same to try and nix the project.
Mr. Bisek indicated he could understand not wanting to pay for something that you do
not need but noted that at some point water will be needed and then it will cost more to �,
run water downtown. He also noted that six (6) property owners in his area out of the ',
nine (9) had expressed an interest in receiving improvements. He further noted the City ',
would benefit, as a whole, if downtown were redeveloped and improved. '�
Councii Member Nelson asked if Mr. Bisek had spoke with his neighbors prior to the I
hearing or if he was surprised by the negative feelings rose at the meeting. Mr. Bisek �i
indicated he was not surprised that his neighbars rejected the idea but noted he was �i
surprised by the behavior that was e�ibited. �',
Mr. Bisek indicated that the downtown is a Mixed Use district and noted that the business '�
owners communicate with one another and attempt to maintain good relations with the '
residents in the downtown area.
Council Member Nelson asked if Mr. Bisek was waiting for water before doing some
updating at Kelly's. Mr. Bisek indicated he had been waiting for five (5) years and said it
is frustrating from his standpoint, as Kelly's has no curb appeal. He then indicated that
he would like to have a parking lot that does not flood every spring, but said it does not
make sense to pave the parking lot only to have to repave it when water does come to
downtawn.
Council Member Capra indicated that she felt a lot was lost at the meeting based on the
feeling of residents that the City is planning on developing the Public Works site and is
not telling residents what is "really going on".
I Mr. Bisek indicated that twenty (20) years ago would have been the logical time to bring
water to the downtown area when they did sewer. Council Member Broussard Vickers
indicated the City did not have the money to run water at the time it did sewer downtown.
Page 13 of 25
City Council Meeting Minutes
June 13, 2001
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that the residents in attendance felt they
were entitled to their opinion even though not all of the opinions were based on fact. She
then noted that one (1) of the things she constantly reminds herself is that as a Council
Member, she needs to do what's best for the City as a whole and that being influenced by
a few people is not the best way to do that.
Council Member Broussard Vickers asked Mr. Peterson if the City needs to loop
downtown into the water system to make the water system in town better, safer, more
reliable or more predictable. She questioned the ramifications of bnining water to the
downtown area, timing and current infrastructure. She further noted that if the City
determines the need to install water service to the downtown area as it is important to the
City as a whole; perhaps the City needs to pick up a larger piece of the cost.
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she is not willing to abandon the idea at
this point, but feels further research should be done. She then noted she would like the
City Engineer to provide input and a report with definitive information prior to further
consideration.
Council Mernber Capra stated she would like to look into whether building an additional '
water tower and looping the downtown area would be important with the new water ',
tower system. She then asked Mr. Wilharber if he knew how the church intended to I
proceed with its expansion. Mr. Wilharber indicated he is on the committee that is j
reviewing the expansion and noted the church is looking at installing bathrooms on the ���
east side. ',
I
Council Member Capra noted that if the church does add bathrooms on the end, it would �',
be a great benefit for them ta have City water. She then noted that the church's decision ��,
might be a large factar in how the project proceeds. I
Mayor Swedberg stated that he supports the Minnesota Design Team but noted that he I
had heard that residents do not want water downtown. He then suggested the City
Engineer determine whether it is possible to provide water to the one (1) block of
downtown that is interested in water without affecting other people.
Mr. Peterson indicated City water could be brought to the Kelly's block but noted it may
be possible to bring water to the Kelly's block by extending water south on Centerville
Road.
Mr. Bisek indicated that there were three (3) residents on his block not interested in water
services.
Mayor Swedberg noted the proposal, as presented, did not meet what residents would Iike
to see. He then noted if the City were going to achieve downtown revitalization, the
proposal would need to be reviewed and changed.

June 13, 2001
Council Member Capra asked if it was more costly to do a small-scale water project than
a larger one.
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated there has been situations where those
affected by the improvements were not happy, but noted Council needed to keep in mind
the larger scope involved. She then noted that this is one (1) block not the entire City.
Mr. March indicated that if there were to be a water main break at the intersection by the
Rivard building, the sixteen (16) apartments; one other building; the elementary school
and forty (40) homes would be without water. He then noted it is not a good idea to have
such a long dead-end stretch of water main. He further noted that if the water main were
looped to isolate a break between two (2) main valves it would be beneficial to numerous
people.
Mr. Bisek indicated that due to the hostility at the meeting, there were at least two (2)
homeowners who were uncomfortable speaking up and did not have an opportunity to be
heard.
Mr. Wilharber indicated that there were some aspects of the plan that he did not like, but
noted some of the other items for the revitalization of downtown he approved of. He then
suggested bringing water down Centerville Road from Westview to hook up the one (1)
block of downtown. He also noted that the City had purchased properiy to be
redeveloped and noted it would need to be serviced by City water and indicated he would
be fine with funding the water expansion with the general fund.
Councii Member Nelson indicated she was not at the meeting but had heard there were
residents in attendance who were not in favor of the project and stated she felt the project
should be researched. She also indicated that she agreed with Council Member
Broussard Vickers in that the City may need to pick up a larger portion of the cost to
bring water to the downtown area, but stated that residents should be assessed as they do
receive a benefit.
Mr. Peterson indicated that the figures presented at the meeting assumed the City would
pay twenty-five percent (25%) of the costs to bring water to the downtown area. He then
indicated that the City percentage could be increased.
Council Member Travis indicated he felt the downtown revitalization project is a good
idea, as it would benefit the entire City. He then stated that there was a large amount of
vocal opposition and the point made was that some of the residents just plain did not want
it. He further indicated if it were possible to defer assessments until the resident hooks
up or something on that order, more residents might be in favor of the project.
Mayor Swedberg indicated he got the sense that many af the residents do not want
development in the downtown area. Mr. March clarified that the City is not talking about
any development other than the Public Works site.

City Council Meeting Minutes
June 13, 2001
Council Member Capra indicated that a small portion of the people in attendance could
not be convinced that there was not a prearranged plan that the City is not telling
residents about.
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated the City has 3,000 residents and noted that
there were 25 people at the meeting. She then indicated that Council represents ali 3,000
residents not just the 25 that were in attendance and noted that Council has faced this
issue time and again with every development. She further noted that with every issue
Council faced with, there would always be some opposition.
Mr. March indicated that when Council holds meetings concerning controversial issues,
the City could request to have Iaw enforcement present to maintain order. He then noted
that people behind him were making comments that they were uncomfortable due to the
hostility.
Council Member Capra noted she felt the Mayor should have been behind the dais in ,
order to utilize the gavel and maintain order. ��
i
Mayor Swedberg indicated that more research was needed in order to find a way to come
together and be reasonable.
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated it might not be possible to reach a
consensus.
2. 21 S ` Avenue (Joint Powers A�reement & Feasibility Study�
Mr. March indicated the City of Lino Lakes had forwarded a revised Joint Powers
Agreement and Feasibility Report, which had been approved by its Council on Monc3ay �,
evening. He then noted that the agreement is contingent upon Centerville's approval. ',
Mr. Hoeft reviewed areas of the document that he felt should be modified in order to I ',
better protect the City's interests.
Mayor Swedberg indicated he felt the road was designed incorrectly as Dupre Road is
wider than they have made 21 Avenue and it zs intended to be a major intersection. He
then indicated that this is one (1) of the reasons he had said he would like to see a traffic
management study prior to proceeding.
Council Member Capra questioned who would be conducting the inspections. Mr. Hoeft
indicated that according to the document the primary inspections would be conducted by
the City of Lino Lakes and that Centerville has the right to comment but has no real
remedy.
Council Member Capra suggested containing language that would give Centerville the
right to approve the design. Mr. Hoeft indicated he would need to discuss the matter with
City of Lino Lakes.
Page 16 of 25
City Council Meeting Minutes
June 13, 2001
Mayor Swedberg questioned what would happen if costs are incurred and the City of
Lino Lakes decided to pull out of the project. Mr. Hoeft indicated that if either City pulls
out of the project, each Ciry is still responsible for fifty percent (50%) of the costs
incurred to the point of the contract being awarded.
Mayor Swedberg indicated he would like to know the full costs up front. Mr. Hoeft
indicated it might not be possible to know the full costs, as there may be change orders
along the way that could either increase or decrease the amount. He then indicated that
the City of Lino Lakes is looking for progress payments on a monthly basis but have not
indicated how that would be implemented.
Council Member Travis questioned whether Mr. Palzer had an issue with the snow
plowing language. Mr. March indicated he did not believe sa
Mayor Swedberg indicated he felt a traffic management study was needed, as he is
concerned that the Dairy Queen is a natural magnet for kids.
Mr. Peterson indicated he felt there should be a sidewalk for pedestrian safety.
Mayor Swedberg stated he feels Centerville needs to be more involved in the upfront
planning and collaboration.
Mr. Aeterson indicated that in reviewing the costs for the project, if there are three (3)
properties that could be assessed and then noted that the total assessment for each of the
properties would be $37,600 per parcel, based solely on the costs for the project.
Council Member Broussard Vickers asked whether the three property owners have
indicated whether or not they want the road. Mr. March indicated that two (2) of the
three (3) property owners have indicated they wanted the road but were unaware of the
assessment amount at the time.
Mr. Peterson indicated, assuming the City would pay a larger portion of the costs, that a
$10,000 or $15,000 assessment would seem fair.
Mayor Swedberg indicated that he did not feel that Centerville had been involved in the
up front designing for the roadway and noted he feels the partnership is a little one sided.
Mr. March asked what Mayor Swedberg thought the design needed. Mayor Swedberg
indicated he did not think the road was wide enough and that it needed a sidewalk. Mr.
March added that the road could also use a right turn lane onto Main Street.
Council Member Capra asked how wide the proposed roadway would be. Mr. Peterson
indicated it is proposed to be close to the width it is right now.
Page 17 of 25
City Council Meeting Minutes
June I3, 2001
Mr. March noted that, if the project goes forward, it would take significant City funds, as
it would not be possible to assess the larger dollar amounts �rst indicated. He then
indicated that the City may need to assume two thirds (2/3) of the costs to go forward.
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she did not think this street benefited the
whole City. She then questioned whether there were other roads that were built that did
', not assess all of the costs to the property owners. Mr. March indicated it has been done
when the City reconstructs streets. He then indicated that the City is allowed to assess
only those properties that benefit. He further noted that there might be a disproportionate
benefit to the nine (9) lots on the east side of the road that could justify paying more than
fifty percent (50%).
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated the project was being driven by the City of
Lino Lakes and not Centerville. She then indicated that there are very few people on the
Centerville side of the street to assess and noted the street is not going to be a commuter
street.
Council Member Capra questioned whether the City of Lino Lakes intends to extend the
road down to Cedar Street as she could see a benefit for the lots in the industrial park.
Council Member Travis indicated that extending the road to Cedar Street would be the
developer's responsibility. ,
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she was uncomfortable approving the
agreement until Council looks at the budget for next year and noted that Lino Lake's '�
timeline was much faster than Centerville's. ��
Mr. March indicated he could broach the subject of the assessments with the property
owners.
Council Member Capra indicated a desire to be a good neighbor to the City of Lino Lakes
and work with them on the figures. She then stated she did not feel the project should be
abandoned but should be researched to determine the benefit to the City.
Mr. Hoeft noted Council may wish to hire an appraiser to give an opinion on the benefit
to the Centerville businesses so the City would have some idea as to what the assessment
could be which could be used in negotiations with the City of Lino Lakes.
Mayor Swedberg questioned whether the appraiser needed to be made aware that the City
might require turn lanes as it could affect the proposal. Mr. Peterson indicated the
appraiser could take into account what might be in the future. Mr. Hoeft indicated that
the appraiser could, based on the plans he was provided, indicate what he felt the benefit
to the Centerville businesses would be.
Motion by Council Member Capra, seconded by Council Member Broussard
Vickers to direct Mr. March to contact an appraiser to determine what the benefit
Page 18 of 25
City Council Meeting Minutes
June 13, 2001
of the improved roadwax would be to the Centerville businesses on 21 Avenue All
in favor. 1Vlotion carried unanimonslv.
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that Staff should go ahead and continue its
talks with the City of Lino Lakes and let them know that Centerville is reviewing the
figures.
Motion by Council Member Ca�ra, seconded by Coancil Member Nelson to table
approval of the 21 Avenue Joint Powers Agreement until more research is
provided to Council. All in favor. Motion carried unanimouslv.
IX. NEW BUSINESS
l. Wilharber Lot S�Iit
Mr. Hoeft explained that he had received a request from Mr. Tom Wilharber for the
approval of a lot split. He then explained that the situation came about because a deed
prepared by an Attorney to transfer title of the land from Mr. Wilharber's mother to a
trust inadvertently and by mistake, excepted out some properiy in the legal description in
the wrong area of the property. He noted the exception was supposed to except out the
land where Mr. Wilharber's residence is located but instead excepted out a different piece ',
of the land. ',
Mr: Hoeft explained that after the deed was executed, Mr. Wilharber's mother passed I
away so it is impossible to correct same with a new deed. He then noted that Mr. ��
Wilharber and his siblings are looking at selling the property and in order for a Quit '�
Claim Deed to be recorded with the County, the County has asked far Council approval ��,
of the lot split that occurred due to a part of the property being excepted out of the deed. ',
Mr. Hoeft indicated that an attorney in his office would be correcting the mistake and
properly identifying the property; but in order to do so, the incorrect deed first needs to
be recorded.
Mr. Wilharber told Council that in 1996 the trust was established to circumvent any
issues when his mother passed away. He noted that the attorney did not record the deed
and at the time he attempted to do so, he learned of the issue. He then noted that, if
Council did not approve the lot split, the matter would need to go through probate, which
would consume a large amount of time. Mr. Wilharber told Council he is not looking at a
lot split as he and his siblings intend to sell the entire piece of ground.
Motion by Mayor Swedberg, seconded bx Council Member Nelson to aQurove the
lot split as presented. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously.
Council Member Broussard Vickers was not present for the vote.

*Feasibility Study and Resolution 01-011
Motion by Council Member Broussard Vickers, seconded by Council Member
Travis to a�prove Resol_ution 01-011, a Resolution receiving the feasibility report
and scheduling the public hearing for June 27, 2001. All in favor. Motion carried
unanimouslv.
*Comprehensive Plan Amendments
Council Member Capra indicated that the form to be submitted indicates that this is not a
MUSA expansion. She then asked what that meant.
Mr. March indicated that when he spoke to the consultant, he recommended putting the
entire parcel into MUSA rather than completed additional amendments in the future. He
then indicated that developnnent of the parcel could be controlled with the developer's
agreement, but expressed concern for a different developer stepping in and wanting to
develop the entire property all at once should Ground Development not proceed with its
plans. ',
Mr. Hoeft indicated Council needed to determine whether it is concerned with having the ',
entire parcel come into MUSA at one time to be developed or if Council desires to '
control the development of the parcel by not allowing it all to come into MUSA. He then '
indicated that the Metropolitan Council has indicated that, due to a shortage of land, cities �
would be allowed to develop as rapidly as they desire. �
i
Council Member Broussard Vickers expressed concern for control of the development if ��
the City allowed the entire parcel into MUSA at one time. �
Mr. Hoeft indicated that economics would drive development, as the developer would �,
only be able to develop as fast as he is able to sell lots. He then noted that the City could
control development by requiring controlled timing of the phases with a development
agreement recorded against the property so that anyone who comes in would have to
follow the timeline set up by Council. He further indicated the same could be done for
other parcels within the City.
Council Member Broussard Vickers questioned how moving the entire parcel into MLJSA
would affect the development. Mr. Hoeft indicated that the City does not have to allow
the developer do anything. He noted all the approvals do not change, as the only thing
affected is whether the Metropolitan Council controls development or if the City does.
Council Member Capra indicated that in the past the issue of development has been
governed by the Metropolitan Council and was a restrictian the City could use to control
development. Mr. Hoeft indicated the City still has the same control, except now the City
cannot point to the Metropolitan Council as the ones who are limiting development.
Page 20 of 25
City Council Meeting Minutes
June 13, 2001
Mr. March indicated the document could be modif ed and sent back to the consultant if
Council desired.
Mayor Swedberg noted he could not believe that the Metropolitan Council was throwing
out the process they had used for many years. Mr. Hoeft indicated that the
Comprehensive Plan does not change; it is merely a timing issue as the Comprehensive
Plan indicates that the property would be developed at some point.
Council Member Nelson indicated she would like to do a MUSA swap rather than bring
the entire parcel into MLJSA.
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that the school is supposed to open in 2002
to handle the proposed development.
Council Member Capra indicated that due to some complications, the school might not
open until the fall of 2003.
Mr. Hoeft indicated that Council might desire to amend the document to what was
previously agreed to in order to keep the Pheasant Marsh project on track. He then ,
indicated that Council needed to determine whether it desires to bring the entire parcel ,
into MUSA and regulate development or request the MUSA swap. ,
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that development within the City is a I
bigger discussion for a different meeting. She then indicated that the primary concern I
was for the school and noted that if the school would be open in 2003 it did not make ��
sense to make the land sit until 2006. ��
Motion by Council Member Broussard Vickers, seconded by Council Member ��
Nelson to direct Staff to have the document revised to reflect the MUSA swap as
originallv agreed to. All in favor. Motion carried unanimousl� ',
Council Member Capra commented that the development would affect the school.
Mayor Swedberg indicated he did not think the development would affect the school
district due to the phasing required by Council.
Council Member Capra indicated that, with the delay for the opening of the new school,
the school would be affected by the development. Mr. Hoeft clarified that one side of the
development would be developed rather than the other and noted this should not affect
the school district.

9. Parks and Recreation Committee Recommendations ',
Councii Member Nelson questioned whether the requested items would be coming out of ',
the Parks and Recreation budget. I
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that Council should have been aware from
previous meetings, that Parks and Recreation would be coming to Council for money as
Council spent the entire Parks and Recreation budget on the electrical for Laurie LaMotte
Memorial Park. She then indicated that the City needed to make the fields useable and
conform to tournament requirements. She further explained that making the softball �eld
regulation size cuts down the size for the soccer field and, as it is too small for a
regulation adult size soccer field, they are recommending the changes be made to make it
a youth field.
Council Member Nelson pointed out that three (3) of the requested approvals from Parks
and Recreation totaled $15,300 and noted she is not in favor of appzoval of that kind of
money.
Page 22 of 25
, City Council Meeting Minutes
June 13, 2001
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that she understood that Council was
aware that by using Parks and Recreation funds for the electrical at Laurie LaMotte
Memorial Park, the Parks and Recreation Committee would need to request additional
funds from Council. She then indicated that the improvements need to be made this year
for the Fete Des Lacs Festival or the softball tournament would need to be cancelled.
Council Member Nelson stated she thought Parks and Recreation would be asking for
money in another year not this year.
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated the items would have been included as part
of the original work order but were accidentally omitted.
Council Member Nelson stated that Parks and Recreation did not have the money in the
budget for the projects. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that Council used
the Parks and Recreation budget far the electrical at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park.
Council Member Capra stated she thought Council only used park dedication fees for the
electrical, Council Member Broussard Vickers commented that if Council only took the
park dedication fees, then there would be money in the Parks and Recreation budget.
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated the matter could not be tabled since the
City would need to cancel the Fete des Lacs softball tournament if the improvements are
not made.
Mayor Swedberg asked if moving the fences was permanent. Council Member
Broussard Vickers indicated that it was.
Mr. March questioned where Parks and Recreation got the estimates for moving the
backstop. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated they used an estimate from
when they previously had a backstop moved.
Council Member Nelson asked Mr. March if there was any money in the Parks and
Recreation budget. Mr. March indicated that he was not prepared to provide information
on the Parks and Recreation budget at this meeting.
Motion by Council Member Travis, seconded by Council Member Broussard
Vickers to ap�rove the Parks and Recreation Committee recommendation, Number
1. Ayes — 4, Mayor Swedberg, Council Members Capra, Travis and Broussard
Vickers, Navs —1 (Nelson). Motion carried.
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that Item 3 was needed, as fencing was
required around the electrical area.
Council Member Nelson indicated she did not know how Council could approve of this
expenditure if Council did not understand where the funds would be expended.

Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated there needed to be fencing around a pole

II. PUBLIC HEARING(S)
1. Ordinance #4 Amendments
Page 1 of 6
June 5, 2001
Planning and Zoning Workshop Meeting Minntes
Chairperson Hanson opened the public hearing at 6:34 p.m.
Mr. March reviewed the Ordinance #4 amendments and indicated that the Commission
may desire to set a maximum size for accessory structures in the M-1 district. Mr. March
stated that the Commission would need to hold a public hearing concerning mini-storage
before making the recommendation to Council.
Commissioner Brainard asked Mr. March if he could survey the surrounding
communities to determine the maximum size accessory structure in a M-1 district.
Commissioner Kilian indicated he did not think the accessory structure should exceed the
square footage of the principal structure.
Mr. Wilharber stated he would like to see the information from surrounding communities
and add a height restriction.
Commissioner Kilian stated that the Commission had previously set a height restriction.
Council Liaison Broussard Vickers suggested allowing accessory structures for !
residential use in a M-1 district to be fifty percent (50%) of the rear yard.
Commissioner Kilian stated that he felt the Commission should indicate the structure
could be 50% of the rear yard, but not to exceed the size of the principal structure. I
Commissioner DeVine indicated that the Iots in downtown were split into 100-foot lots
and some residents own mare than one (1) lot. Commission DeVine stated one (1) I
resident would need to come before the Commission to rejoin the lots, which seems I
unfair.
Council Liaison Broussard Vickers stated that the property owner has the option to sell II
the lots separately if they were divided and may not desire to rejoin them.
Council Liaison Broussard Vickers stated that the Ordinance stated there must be a
principal structure on the lot in order to build an accessory structure.
Commissioner DeVine indicated he was concerned about how the suggested change
would affect a property owner with more than one (1) lot, as they may be able to build a
large building.
Council Liaison Broussard Vickers stated that the requirement for the accessory structure
not exceed the square footage of the principal structure, should limit the size of the
accessory structures because she is unaware of any large principal structures in the
downtown area.
Commissioner DeVine indicated he felt the matter needed to be researched and further
I discussed.

III. APPEARANCES
1. Mr. Tezry Sager (Mini-Stora�
Mr. Edward Sadelack stated that he had partnered with Copeland Industries to help with
the building if it is approved. He then reviewed the revised plan for his mini-storage
facility.
Commissioner Brainard stated that Mr. Sadelack would need a Special Use Permit, which
would require a public hearing. �
Commissioner Wilharber questioned the location of the lift station. Mr. March pointed ',
out on the map the location of same. ,
i
Commissioner Wilharber questioned the type of fencing that would be used on the east ,
side of the property, as the second building would not be built right away. Mr. Sadelack
stated that he intended to fence the area and would provide fencing required; however, he
would prefer to install inexpensive fencing due to the removal of same in preparation of
Phase II.
Commissioner Wilharber questioned whether Rice Creek Watershed District had granted
permission to fill the entire four (4) acres with buildings without requiring a pond. Mr.
Sadelack indicated that, since Mr. Rehbein would be creating a pond, Rice Creek had
indicated that no pond would be required on the four (4} acre site.
Commissioner Brainard asked what kind of fencing would be used to the east prior to the
completion of Phase II. Mr. Sadelack indicated he was hoping to use the least expensive
fencing required, as it would be removed when Phase IT is constructed.
Commissioner DeVine indicated he did not see the need to require masonry block and
fencing in the area of Phase II due to the fact it faces unimproved, industrial land.
Mr. Sadelack questioned whether the City would allow outside storage for RV parking in
the location of Phase II prior to it being built. The Commission indicated that the City
was not interested in outside storage.
Page 3 of 6
June 5, 2001
' Planning and Zoning Workshop Meeting Minutes
Mr. March stated there would be a need to hold a public hearing for the issuance of the
Special Use Permit.
Chairperson Hanson suggested Mr. Sadelack be prepared to address lighting issues prior
to appearing at the public hearing. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated that Mr.
Sadelack needed to use environmentally friendly lighting.
Commissioner Wilharber questioned the hours of operation for the facility.
Commissioner DeVine indicated tnat the Special Use Permit would address the hours of
operation.
Commissioner Wilharber stated concern about the type of fencing on the east and noted
that the land is vacant now, but would be developed in the future. Commissioner
Wilharber stated that i� Phase II were never built, the City would want the same type of
masonry block and fencing on the eastern perimeter. �
Mr. Sadelack stated he would prefer to use inexpensive fencing and be required to put the I
masonry and fencing in after a certain time frame if Phase II is not built.
Commissioner Wilharber requested an estimated value of the facility. Mr. Sadelack
_ indicated the facility, not including the land, had an estimated value of $1.5 million.
Commissioner Wilharber stated that this type of use would not bring employrnent
opportunities to the City. He then noted it may provide a benefit for residents; however,
he did not feel it would benefit the City as much as bringing a business that provide
employment opportunities to the industrial park. I
Mr. Sadelack indicated that even though his business would not provide employment I
opportunities, it would be providing tax base for the City. �
Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated that, in light of the new Ordinance changes
and the limitations on outside storage, the City has created a need for this type of service.
Commissioner Brainard questioned the rent for one (1) unit. Mr. Sadelack stated that a10
x 20, climate controlled unit would rent for approximately $225 a month
Mr. March stated it would be interesting to know the percentage of small businesses
using storage units. Mr. Sadelack indicated his statistics indicate that approximately
thirty (30%) of those using storage units are small business owners and stated that the

that he felt that this was one (1) of the areas where communications is lacking due to the
fact that each Committee/Commission is doing their own thing. Ms. Arnson explained
the reasoning behind her addressing this issue was because NMTC is also laoking for
events to cover for news stories. Chair Brenner stated that NMTC should be contacted
first and coordinate scheduling of taping of the event(s). The program could be played on
Channei 15 and a duplicate tape could be provided to the Ciry for playback on Channel
16. Mr. Klang stated that Centennial High School offers numerous incentives for
students far involvement in video production outside of the day-to-day school curriculurn

web site. Chair Brenner questioned a searchable feature. Ms. Wilcox stated that the site

stated that if the arrangement of ordinances is easy to understand and navigate, there
should be no need for a searchable database. Ms. Jesi Arola stated that the original web
site was created by Media Junction three (3) years ago and is in need of a facelift. Ms.
