Councilman Seibold stated ;he felt th!: existing conditions'
in this area were dangerous and that/an exception to the
recommendations of the Board of Zoning Adjustment would
create a greater danger at this poilit. He felt it would
be in the best interest of the petitioner to deny the re-

at some time in the future causing them to loose a portion
of their driveway.

The Council reviewed the six,tonditions attached to the
approval of the site plan wh h were to be met prior to
the issuance of A building ptrmit as ,,set forth in Planner
Overhiser's letter of August 22, 1972 to Mr. Bernardi. A

the petitioners intended to,comply with the first three
conditions by October 1, 11912 at which time they would
apply for a building perwAt/ with conditions 4 through 6 to
become part of the buildtinf permit and bond requirements
to be completed prior to issuance of a occiApancy permit.

Councilman Nei 1 s sjsated he could approve the design of the
23rd and 24th Avenue cul-de-sacs if the extension to Shady-
view ,Lane was built at the same time. He stated he could ,
not approve the development contract until this was assured.
Plianner Overhiser lindicated the outlot in., the `Snyder Addi-
tion is now tax dOlinquent land. It was suggested that the
developer be giver' the burden of obtaining the l and to build
the street, and if he does have difficulty, he could come
back to,the Villaile and we could use our powers of eminent
domain. CouncilmIn Hunt pointed out that that outlot was
left i,n the Snyder plat for only one purpose •- for a street
and suggested that the minutes be checked back when the plat
was approved.
MOTION was made by Councilman Hunt, seconded by Councilman ,'
Spaeth, directing the staff to research this matter further,
and bring it back tt the next Council meeting. Motion
carried. five ayes.
Counci lman Nei 15 brought up the matter of fees for sub FEE POLICY FOR SUB -
division variances and questioned how much burden the DIVISION VARIANCES
Village bears in legal expenses and staff time. The fee
for a subdivisijn variance or consolidation is $10, and
he stated he was concerned that the Village be reimbursed
properly where there are a number of lots involved.
Attorney Lefler stated he also felt some -changes should
be made and thi., in the case of more than a couple lots
a plat should Ise required and the petitioner should pay
the fee accordingly.
MOTION was made by Councilman Neils, seconded by Council-
man Nunt, directing the staff to look at ways by which the
Village can mcre adequately be reimbursed for its expenses
for subdivision variances and consolidation requests plus
possibly :omi iig up with a short form platting procedure
waiver that; m(9ht waive the public hearing requirements and
a few things like this but no: necessarily plat regulation
requirements. Motion carried, five ayes.
Councilman Seibold referred back to this item previously
considered and stated that as long as the development
contract; is teing revised he felt it was a good time to
inaugurate same of the recommendations made at the
August 2a, 11,72 meeting. He stated he felt the follow-
ing items should be incor orated in the Imperial Hills
development contract: (I any storage of black dirt dur-
ing any timr of development would not be adjacent to any
developed pi-perty, (2) any undeveloped lot adjacent to a
developed lov must be cut regularly to within 6 inches,
3) once 50X of a development is developed, the whole unit
must be maW wined at 6 inches, and (4) up until 507 de-
velopment, the grass should be cut once every three weeks

Councilman Spaeth quq'stioned how the Village would go
about the Oestructioq of thiG building. Attorney Lefler
indicated that in the- past the Fiire Departme6t has burn-
ed the building by special permit. Manager Willis stated
the cleanup would probably not go to bids because it
would be such a small amount. Councilman Hurt stated he
was opposed to allowing the Village to,burn Cohen private
citizens are not able to get such a permit.

The 'Council previously discu4sed a desire to'consider
certain omendlnents to the Village Subdivision Regulations
and toning OrgA nance. These have been dizcussed by the
Planning Commission and are now presented to the Council
for adoption. They would provide a means of trtrding to
clarify an ex1',,ting conflict within our Zonin41 inance
and Subdivision Regulations with respect to the manner
by which density is calculated fo,r park land. permitted
office uses in the I-1 District and parking and loading
within the setb;ck areas in the I-1 District.
Councilman Neill stated he did not feel the changes to
the Zoning Ordinance were necessary because in the unit
subdivision project section where the change is being
made it already sets forth the capability to shrink
16.500 square font lots down to 13.500 square foot lots
average sire and 11.000 square foot individual uze with-
out loss in the Number of lots with the balance going
into open space. 'that is a direct density credit in the
unit subdivision i)roject4 The Council agreed but felt
this amendment would clarify the point.

Manager -Willis reported that a meeting had been N,pId INTRO %WER BOARD
that day between the advisory board representativls of PROPOSEV COST
the six sewer districts and the Metropolitan Sewer Board ALLOCATION
to discuss the entire issue and reviewed the Dosltion Itw P
paper adopted by the Service Area No,, 1 CaTmittee.
Mayor Wilde Indicated thabecause we have inch a short
time to l eact, there are
i:wo approaches we ca'n taike: (1) work with the
SAC approach\or (2) leave it the way it is for1,4 ;year and work it out over
the next year, tie stated he felt the approach t\,ey are suggesting now is
ignoring all of the points we made in the first piece of not Laving a
strict SAC charge and that this a,prodc h would be viewed as being for the
sake of expediency all we are concerned about is that we are not paying
so much.
Councilman Hunt advised the Council that the Minnesota Housing Institute,
thA Home Builders association and Minnesota Housing Authority hsve all come
out against this SAC charge policy. He also stated he felt if ft -4c take the
firm position of not changing anything but let tre legislature give the
direction next year we could get an injunction against it because it is
against the original intent, Councilman Neils cautioned that ,n injunction
to stop it would have to bear the burden of proof of lack of equity over
the long haul. He felt this was questionable. The legislature set forth
specific guide lines by which this funding of reserve capacity and reserve
treatment capacity was to be accomplia.hed initially and gave the Metropoli-
tan Council and Sewer Board the power to come up with a plan such as this
SAC charge.
Attorney Lefler stated his analysis of the statutes indicate that ou•
position may be very weak, Subdivisions 3 and 4 of the statutes set out
the method by which the Sewer Poard shall make its charges, and pursuant
to that language the Sewer Board set up the plan that we have. Subdivision
8,, however-, says that if the Sewer Board finds that the application of the
principals under 3 and 4 are inequitable or unfair they may change. If
anybody takes the Metropolitan Council or Sewer Board to court, they have
the burden of proving that the decision to go the SAC charge route is
arbitrary and unreasonable.
Mayor Hilde pointed out that the intent of the legislature was that every
sewer district should be ;ble to retain the advantages and disadvantages
they had in the first place and that this argument should be used against
the Metropolitan Council.
Attorney Lefler stated that while he was not optomistic, at the same tloe
he felt confident that the Sewer Board is not too anxious to have it tested
either.
