HAMEL AREA BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE Robert Mitchell stated that he and Ann Thies had met with the Hamel business representatives and had discussed sewer capacity for the area and what they might do to address the issue, themselves. 6. PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Hamel Well # 4 Glenn Cook reviewed the report regarding the possibility of constructing another well in in the Hamel area. He stated that the EPA has become less restrictive with regards to radium levels in drinking water and it would now be possible to begin the application process through the DNR for a well in the Mt Simon -Hinckley aquifer, which could be com- pleted in 1993. Robert Mitchell asked if another well was needed. Glenn Cook stated that there should be another well even if there is no additional devel- opment. Gary Acromite asked if another well would provide additional capacity. Glenn Cook stated that a new well would take care of the additional development included in the comprehensive plan. He recommended that Items 1 and 2 of the report be done at this time. Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Thies to authorize construction of a Mt. Simon well, pump- ing facility and connecting water main for the Hamel area with the appropriate permit application and water conservation plan submitted to the DNR. Motion declared carried Pioneer Tr., Improvement Jim Dillman reported that the traffic counter had ceased to function and that they could only estimate the number of cars using Pioneer Tr. to be less than 300 per day. Gary Acromite asked if improving Pioneer Tr. was something that councilmembers were interested in doing. Philip Zietlow stated that other roads, such as Medina Rd., have much more traffic, with Pioneer Tr. use a bare minimum. Glenn Cook reported that he had spoken with Juergen Holzer regarding the easement and had offered him $10,000, which Mr. Holzer did not agree with, and he had asked for $13,500. Robert Mitchell stated that because of the Awes horse stable the road should be paved and he would not look favorably on a commercial project at that location, without a paved road. Philip Zietlow asked how much work is involved in keeping up the road as a gravel road. Jim Dillman stated that it is more costly to maintain than Medina Rd. Philip Zietlow asked if completing this road would free up enough funds to maintain a number of other city roads. Robert Mitchell stated that there were a number of small roads that could be done. Jim Dillman stated that the city will get complaints as the traffic on Pioneer Tr. increases. Gary Acromite stated that the council could talk to Juergen Holzer when he comes to the city for his Conditional Use Permit. Robert Mitchell explained that the permit had been approved and that the petition and waiver agreement for the road improvement is part of the permit. He stated that he would be willing to increase payment for the easement to $11,000. Jim Johnson, Planning Commission representative, asked what would happen to the piece of land on the east side of the esement and he asked if the road projects had been prioritized. Philip Zietlow stated that this road was at the top of the list because it was to be paid for by the property owners. Jim Johnson asked who would benefit from the city spending $50,000 for this road. Robert Mitchell stated that the council had talked about the road project at the time the Awes project came before the city and at that time the Holzer application had not been made. He stated that, at that time, they had not discussed how the westerly portion of the road would be assessed. Glenn Cook stated that grading is not assessed in a residential area, so initally the city would have paid $50,000, but when the Awes project came up it would all have been assessed. Donna Roehl explained that residents on Hamel Rd, and Pinto Dr. were not assessed when those roads were improved to 9 ton capacity and that Loram had paid for improving Arrow- head Rd. with undeveloped property to the west not being assessed. Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Thies to offer $11,000 to Juergen Holzer for the Pioneer Tr. road esement with he and owner, Leonard Schlosser to decide how to divide the assess- ment charges. Motion carried Voting No-Zietlow 7. PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT Hennepin County Fair Loren Kohnen explained that the Hennepin County Fair Board duct the 1992 county fair on the Elwell property, but that determined that it was not a permitted us in a residential Andy Rozeboom, Fair Board member, stated that they believe as public recreational, not as a commercial operation. Ron Batty stated that the only question is whether or not the fair is a permitted use either by right or by Conditional Use Permit. Andy Rozeboom stated that the Planning Commission would not let them make a presentation and yet they were charged $250 to make application. Loren Kohnen stated that everyone is charged an application fee of $250 and that the only discussion by the Planning Commission centered on interpreting the ordinance. Robert Mitchell stated that this is an unusual use, a commercial type of use, where many people are expected to be present, not just a park. Gary Acromite stated that he had a problem with cars parking on an area where septic systems may be constructed. Philip Zietlow stated that he was o pposed if soils were going to be ruined for septic systems. Andy Rozeboom stated that he had asked if they could make an application for the fair on a commercial property and had been told that it may also be an unapproved use. Robert Mitchell stated that a fair may not be allowed anywhere in the ordinance. James Milow stated that there would be no permanent buildings and no blacktop. had made application to con - the Planning Commission had zone. that it should be considered Robert Mitchell stated that once a permit is issued they may want to come back to the city for more and more. He suggested that they talk to Hennepin County about having the fair in a proper zone. Andy Rozeboom stated that the fair was trying to survive and the county does not own the property in a commercial zone. Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Thies to authorize preparation of a resolution denying use of the Elwell property for County fair purposes as use is not compatible with uses allowed in the residential zone, according to recommendations made by the Planning Commission. Motion declared carried Andy Rozeboom thanked the council for listening to their proposal, something the Planning Commission did not do.
