Motion declared carried Twinco Loren Kohnen explained that Twinco an automotive supply company, had made application to construct a building on Willow Dr., north of the W.G. Anderson Co. He stated that the Plann- inj Commission had recommended approval of the project, with a number of conditions, and the City Council needed to discuss a number of items. +� Jack Jerrard, engineer for Twinco, asked if the number of employees had to be limited to 75. Loren Kohnen explained that the septic system is designed for that number of employees. Mr. Gerrard stated that they were planning to use low water fixtures so possibly more employ- ees could be employed. Robert Mitchell stated that he did not want someone blaming the city in the future, if the number of employees overextended the septic system. He asked for the definition of a waiver of plat Ron Batty stated that state statute allows for a one time subdivision without going through platting. Thomas Anderson stated that the Planning Commission thought Twinco was subdividing without city approval. Loren Kohnen stated that the building is being approved for the entire acreage. Glenn Cook stated that paving of Willow Dr. should be done to the Northeast corner of their site. Robert Mitch,,11 stated that platting approval would include paving of Willow Dr. and the road to the west from Willow Dr. Loren Kohnen stated that a trunk water charge of approximately $33,000, excluding payment for wetlands, should be apid to the city at the time the building permit is issued. Dan Ribnick of Twinco, stated that they do not object to paying the $33,000 but asked if they could pay for the acreage they will be using for their building, at this time, and the remainder at the time those properties are developed. Robert Mitchell stated that ordinarily this would have been assessed when the project was constructed and the problem is the city having to pay for the water line if all of the lots are not sold. Glenn Cook explained that bond payments for the water project are being paid out of taxes paid in -the tax increment districts so there is not a deficit fund balance. Robert Mitchell asked when the storm sewer would be constructed. Glenn Cook reported that it would be done when the property is platted. Loren Kohnen stated that a security deposit for $214,080 is needed for site improvements. Dan Ribnick stated that would need to discuss that aspect with their ban1:. Robert Mitchell explained that normally the city secures financial security when buildings are built to guarantee that all site work will be completed. A Letter of Credit can be reduced as work progresses. Dan Ribnick asked council to consider tho possibility that they need only pave to their driveway and when the remainder of the property to the north is developed: that portion would be paved. Stephen Schmit asked how much it would cost to complete the road. Glenn Cook stated that the road v could be 600 ft. long, versus 100 ft. if they only built it to their driveway and the cost would be approximately $70,000 for street and water links. Robert Mitchell asked if they would want special assessments on their property. Glenn Cook stated that it would be_easier to get the work completed next spring rather than doing it this fall, that would move the special assessments ahead one year. Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Theis to authorize preparation of a resolution granting conceptual approval to Twinco to subdivide a 39 acre parcel into two parcels, one of them large enough to accomodate their proposed building and grounds, including showing Willow Dr. and the road to the west on the plat; granting a Conditional Use Permit for construc- tion of the Twinco building according to twenty-six Planning Commission items and items contained in Loren Kohnen's memo and letter prepared by Glenn Cook with the design cap- acity of the septic system to be specified; road construction project assessed against the entire thirty nine acres with road completed at time first lot in subdivision is sold and applicants waive their rights to appeal the assessments.

WOODLAKE LANDFILL Stephen Schmit reported that he had visited the Woodlake Landfill ash disposal site that had been closed and expressed concern about the poor work that was done which appeared to be allowing rain water to run through the soil into the garbage below. Ron Batty stated that they had done a quick closure after Hennepin County no longer wanted the site for ash disposal and Woodlake was supposed to bring back a more complete plan. Loren Kohnen stated that the Planning Commission had asked them about the problem and Wenck Associates stated that they needed more information from them. Stephen Schmit stated that Wenck should have been reporting the problem to the city.
