Charlie Pangier - Water Bill Charlie Pangier said that his water bill was due and that he wanted to pay it however, because of the water system that he had installed to take care of his water problems, he said he felt that the city owed him money. He also questioned paying his recycling bill. He was billed at his current address for recycling but not at the house that he had moved out of, and he was billed for water and sewer on both. Robert Mitchell said that he should do what he felt he should do. He said that there was a minimum charge for sewer and water. 12. PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT Cherry Hill Farm Fourth Addition Loren Kohnen showed on the proposed plat where the city engineer, Glenn Cook, recommended that lots 5 and 6 of Block 1 and lots 11 and 12 of Block 1 easements that are now 5 feet for drainage and utility be increased to 7 1/2 feet, and that either between lots 2 and 3 or 2 and 1 of Bloc:x 2 that is for a drainage and utility easement of 15 feet and also be designated for a trail. Robert Mitchell asked if there was any problem with the changes. Ron Batty said that they should keep the proper setbacks from the easements and that they cannot build on the easements. Hans Hagen said that he was concerned about the setback from the trail. He said he was also concerned about getting the plat recorded. Robert Mitchell said that the motion before them was to recommend drafting the resolution for final approval, which would be done at the March 5 meeting for signature, and that is how it has been done. Moved by Scherer, se onded by Thies to recommend the drafting of a resolution for final approval of Cherry Hill Farm Fourth Addition with the following conditions: 1. That the easements between Lots 5 and 6, and Lots 11 and 12 Block 1 be made wider from 5 feet to 7 1/2 feet; 2. Leave lots 2 and 3 Block 2 at 7 1/2 feet, and either designate these lots or widen Lots 1 and 2 Block 2 to 7 1/2 feet and designate these lots as a trail easement in addition to drainage and utility easement; 3. The bond amount and specs for sewer and water to be determined by Glenn COOK 4. Development contract to be drafted by Ron Batty; 5. Keep the 20 foot setbacks between the buildings, 5 feet on one and 15 feet on the other; 6. Easements are not to be built on. Motion declared carried. Laurel Awes Conditional Use Permit Robert Mitchell said that he had talked to Ron Batty and Richard Schieffer, Laurel Awes' attorney about this problem. He said that she didn't want a diagonal easement across the property but wants to get the water problem handled; perhaps an easement along the east property line between hers and the Gubbins' property. He also said that he would like to limit the number of horses. Loren Kohnen said either the number of horses total, or the number of horses per acre. Robert Mitchell said that he would like to see the minimum lot size for this type of operation be 12 acres, as the Awes' property is a little over that amount, or perhaps 1/2 acre per horse. Skyrock Farm, owned by Bill Nunn, however, has only 10 acres, but is grandfathered in with that acreage amount. Ron Batty said that the Planning Commission could have a public hearing regarding the PUD ordinance change on the Awes' property on March 12. He said that a PUD is an overlay zone. Robert Mitchell said that it is frustrating to enforce conditional use permits, as some items are "soft", and the PUD helps to alleviate this. Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Scherer to ask the Planning Commission to hold a public hearing to rezone the Laurel Awes' property to PUD at their March 12 meeting. Motion declared carried. Wilfred Scherer brought up where they were talking about this drainage problem at the January 15 meeting, that Laurel Awes said that she would contribute $2500 toward the project, when Glenn Cook said that the amount for this project would have to be 150% of the cost that would have to be the bond amount, and that he would like the minutes corrected to reflect this amount. Moved by Scherer, seconded by Mitchell to amend the January 15 council minutes to amend the figure for this drainage project. Motion declarea carried. 13. BFI CLOSURE PLAN Robert Mitchell read Phil Zietlow's letter regarding the BFI closure plan. Loren Kohnen said that he had met with John Currey and Greg Chock of BFI on February 6 regarding the closure plan and that he would be meeting with them again on February 26 along with Wenck and Associates. Robert Mitchell said that while the closure plan is important to the city,that what they plan to do after closure, especially the land use plan is also important. Also the revenue flow between now and 1996 should be put into the budget so that once the cash stops coming in from the landfill taxes won't have to be raised to make up the difference. Ann Thies said also the ongoing monitoring should be addressed. 14. ELM CREEK INTERCEPTOR Robert Mitchell read again from Phil Zietlow's letter about his attendance at the Metropolitan Waste control Commission's meeting regarding the Elm Creek interceptor, where they discussed the period of time between 1990 and 2050, with therearliest time for considering the City of Medina being between 2000 and 2010. He— aid that he would stay in touch so that they know's Medina's needs, especially Or the businesses along Highway 55 right now. 2-8 15. LETTER FROM BONNIE SHALLBETTER Robert Mitchell said that he had talked with Bonnie Shallbetter, 3375 Hunter Drive about her concerns on the high speea traffic on Hunter Drive between Hamel Road and Medina Road. He asked that her letter be kept with the road surveys. 16. PLANNING AND ZONING BILLINGS Robert Mitchell asked about the applications for conditional use permits, etc. what the fee is. Loren Kohnen said the application fee is $250 but the applicant signs a form that they agree to pay the additional amount due if it exceeds the original application amount. Robert Mitchell said that perhaps a larger sum should be charged if the item appears that it will exceed the $250. He said that they should be billed more frequently, and perhaps not be given final documents if a bill remains unpaid. 17.
