MINUTES OF JANUARY 5, 1988 Moved by Scherer, seconded by schmit to approve minutes of January 5, 1988, as presented. Motion declared carried 3. TAMARACK DR. IMPROVEMENT Thomas Anderson stated that if the project is to go ahead the city should stand firm on the assessments and follow proper procedure with assessment appeals. He reported that Glenn Cook had said that the city is as close as its going to get with funding the project with city funds and assessments. He stated that members would need to make a decision as to whether or not city funds should be used to pay for 25% of the paving north of Medina Rd. Stephen Schmit stated that Council should not negotiate with individuals who are appealing their assessments. Robert Mitchell stated that Council could authorize that 25% of the paving costs for the northerly portion could be paid by the city if Council agrees that Navajo Rd. will be constructed to the east, thus making Tamarack Dr. a thru road. He stated that if an arbitrator were to be used to hear appeals an appraiser would need to be hired and an arbitrators decision would not be binding on the property owners. Anne Theis stated that residents had been told that the project would not be done if the the funds were not available and it appears that the project will be short of dollars. Glenn Cook stated that there has been a 4% increase in construction costs in the past four years; also if the road adjacent to the Maki property is realigned that cost would add an extra $10,000 to the project. Stephen Schmit asked if residents will petition against Navajo Rd. being extended to the east. Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Scherer to consider Tamarack Dr., north of Medina Rd., part of a thru road system. Motion declared carried Stephen Schmit stated that upgrading of either Navajo Rd. or Blackfoot Tr. should trigger Tamarack Dr. as being a thru road. GlennCook stated that $10,000 of the contingency fund should be designated for application of oil, so as to save road gravel. Robert Mitchell stated that the city will need to use both 1988 and 1989 capital improvement funds for this project. Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Scherer to adopt Resolution ications for the Tamarack Dr. improvement. Stephen schmit stated that he would vote for the motion if not made with anyone appealing their assessment. Anne Theis stated that she did not believe there were sufficient funds available to complete the project. Motion carried Voting No -Theis 88-2, ordering plans and specif- individual noegotiations are Council discussed the road alignment of Tamarack Dr. adjacent to the Jim Maki property. Thomas Anderson stated it will cost more than $10,000 to move the road to the west so it might be just as well if Council voted not to move it and Mr. Maki continued his assessment appeal. Robert Mitchell asked if the road could be constructed where it is now located and if not practical, a trail should not be constructed. Jim Maki asked if Council would consider adopting a resolution agreeing to reroute Tamarack dr. to its proper alignment, in front of his property. Glenn Cook stated that a survey could be done so that Council could make a proper decision. Moved by Scherer, seconded by Mitchell to request that staff present facts as to the location of Tamarack Dr., adjacent to the Maki property, so that Council can make an appropriate decision as to whether or not Tamarack dr. should be relocated. Motion declared carried Voting No -Theis 4.

PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT Woodlake Landfill Glenn Cook explained that Woodlake Landfill had requested permission to place 5 ft. of fill material on the completed area of the landfill. Rollin Smith explained that it would be beneficial to the existing old landfill because it would decrease the amount of precipitation entering the ground and that they would have an area in which to place their excess material from the excavated area to the north. Stephen Schmit asked if Rollin Smith had indicated earlier that it would not be advisable to place material on top of the finished area. Rollin Smith explained that in 1985 they had asked if 5 ft. of additional material could be placed on the old area and the city had not allowed that it be done, then in 1986 the city had given permission to them to stockpile near "Unnamed Creek. Stephen Schmit asked if the elevations of teh landfill had not been established. Rollin Smith explained that refuse had not been deposited in the area for 18 Months and the fill has already settled one foot. Glenn Cook explained that JoEllen Hurr had agreed to their request if Woodlake were not allowed to remove the material at a later date. Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Theis to authorize the City Attorney to prepare an app- ropriate resolution allowing 5 ft. of fill to be placed on the completed area of Woodlake Landfill. Motion. declared carried Mark Franklin, Radio Towers, Conditional Use Permit Ron Batty explained that he had received very little information from the applicant regarding rights of amateur radio operators. He stated that he had reviewed one case from the State of Washington in which the court had said that the city had not used proper reasons for denying a Conditional Use Permit for a tower. He explained that the Mark Franklin application should be reviewed as any other application but with regards to FCC regulations. Bob Bonner, representing Mark Franklin, stated that he had a letter from the FCC re- gardomg a situation in New Jersey and that the conditions placed by the Medina Planning Commission that were enforceable, they would comply with, such as relocating some of the towers and burying ground wires. Robert Mitchell asked if the problem with the Kleins equipment had been resolved. Mr. Bonner stated that the letter from the FCC indicates that some things are out of the cities jurisdiction. Sandy Klein stated that even though some attempt had been made to correct their problems some had still not been solved. Ken Klein stated that Mark Franklin should adjust his equipment rather than trying to fix the neighbors equipment. Robert Mitchell asked that Council and the attorney be given copies of the FCC letter. Moved by Mitchell, seconded by schmit to table the matter until February 2, 1988, pending review by the attorney and attempt by Mark Franklin to correct the Klein's problem. Motion declared carried Bruce Neumann List Robert Mitchell suggested that a group consisting of staff and Council review the report compiled from the Bruce Neumann list of concerns and make suggestions for Council action. Thomas Anderson asked if Anne Theis and Robert Mitchell would be part of the group. Robert Mitchell asked if the report could be delayed until the March 15th meeting. Ash Disposal Council agreed that prepared letter should be sent to Hennepin County regarding the cities refusal to allow ash to be hauled to Woodlake Landfill from the counties burn plant. * Barbara Hare, Subdivision Denial Resolution Moved by Scherer, seconded by Theis to adopt Resolution 88-3, Denying Subdivision approval for Barbara Hare_ on Hunter Dr. Motion declared carried Abstaining -Mitchell * Sam and Mary Claassen, Subdivision Moved by Scherer, seconded by Theis to adopt Resolution 88-4, Preliminary Approval of the Sam Claassen Subdivision on Pinto Dr. and Co.

She stated that two additional phones were needed, one in the office for the Building Inspector and one in the Police department. Installing the "Spirit" system would cost less for 1988 than adding the two phones to the existing Com-Key system, although the cost for future years will be somewhat higher. She stated that the equipment will be owned by the city after 5 years which is different from the present system of renting. Anne Thies asked if the system would be usable if offices were put in the basement. Donna Roehl stated that the system will accomodate sixteen telephones, anywhere on the premises.
