PETITIONS. REQUESTS B COM14UNICATIONS
The Council was presented with four requests for lot consoli-
dations. The Manager explained these were not legal consoli-
dations but would combine property for tax purposes only.
There was discussion regarding the Council's original intent
in granting these consolidations, and the Mayor polled the Coun-
cil whether they felt we should continue with these practices in
view of the fact that it has now been learned that combining lots
into one legal description would require the process of replat-
ting. It was the cons+_nsus of the Council that they would have
no objection in the chses where the new combined parcel is not
larger than one building lot but that the consolidation process
should not provide assessment sanctuaries. It was agreed that
making a legal consolidation of the lots would be preferable
but that the costs involved might be prohibitive.
MOTION was made by Councilman Neils, seconded by Councilman

Thi6 staff indicated they were not in a position to recommend., WILLIAMS WOODS r FINAL PLAT,
approval of the Development Contract because of s problems ,DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT AND
in the park dedication area. W. H. Williams explain ,he felt SETBACK VARIAs10ES
the 10% park dedication was excessive considering the addition- Item 5-B
al drainage easement he is required to give the Village and the
fact that half the land is under Pinetree Pond, The Manager
explained the process by which the market value of land is deter-
mined - in this instance $15,000 - and that the park dedication
ordinance does not address itself to granting credits for flood
plain storage. The Council agreed the $15,000 figure was accurate
but that the 105 dedication requirement is not equitable in the
cases of small parcels of land such as this. Councilr4n Neils
pointed out the intent of the ordinance was to apply to larger
parcels of land prior to platting and that once the platting has
occurred it raises the marketability of the land and increases
its value.
MOTION was made by Mayor Hilde, seconded by Councilman Spaeth, to
defer action on the Final Plat and Development Coatract of Williams
Woods and directed the staff, on the basis of the foregoing dis-
cussion, to develop an amendment to our policy resolution on park
dedication whereby small parcels of land are valued in the same
manner as similar types of land within a larger piece of land.
MOTION was made by Councilman Neils to amend the motion to include
the setting of a ceiling that park dedication not exceed $250 per
dwelling unit in an Rw1 or R-2 area. Motion failed for lack of
second.
Motion carried, five ayes.
The petition of Wayne R. Jopp requested the creation of three
parcels from existing Lots 1 and 2, Block 2, Med-O-Lake Acres
2nd -Addition and the vacated portion of Union Terrace lane ori
the north side of 32nd Avenue, Attorney Bert Nygaard appeared
representing Mr. Jopp. The staff explained the manner in which
the two existing lots were assessed in 1970 and proposed that
parcel #3 be considered as an additional lot to be created and
assessed for water and sewer lateral chArges on its 107.8 foot
fronts9e. After discussion regarding these assessments, the
Council concluded the assessment should be based on the trial
frontage of the three lots on 32nd Avenue and ti, %. the or i gi, al
assessment rate should be used with interest --ptali=Ed frum

The staff Y*12ommended that the foregoing Resolution not be filed,
with the County until conditions contained in a proposed second
resolution were met, Councilman Seibold questioned whether park
dedication was in order for this new building lot. The Manager
explained this new lot was created in large measure from the va-
cated street -right of way and that he did not feel park dedication
should be required,

MOTION was made by Councilman Neils, seconded by Councilman
Seibold.`to amend condition #3 to take into account an addi-
tional assgssment such that the net result would be an assess-
ment for the total frontage on 32nd Avenue North with interest
capitalized from the date of the assessment roll,, (Amend, 4-1643)
Motion to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 73-136 as amended carried on a
Roll Call vote, three ayes, with Councilmen Hunt and Spaeth
voting nay,
The petitioner requested the division of Lot 1. Lake Park Acres
Addition, into two parcels of 20.163 square feet and 19,808
square feet respectively, It was the staff's recommendation
that the division be denied because of the fact that sanitary
sewer is not available, Mark Burns appeared representing the
petitioner and explained they wish to divide the southern lot
off to be sold as a building lot but that they have no intention
of selling the northern lot at this time, He stated they were
under the impression that utilities could be made available to
this southern lot. There followed discussion whether or not
the development policy would apply in this instance in view of
the fact that the petitioner is requesting that a building lot
be broken off from another parcel. There was also discussion
regarding whether or not park dedication should be required and
if additional street right of way was necessary,
MOTION was made by Councilman Neils, seconded by Councilman,Hunt,
to defer action on the request of Orpha Kranz pending re%;ommenda-
tions from the Manager on street right of way, exact location of
sewer and water service with respect to this southern parcel and
consideration of park dedication requirements. Motion carried,
five ayes,
The petitioner petitioned for the division of Lots 11 and 12,
Block 4. Greentree Forest Second Addition to create 3 parcels.
It was the staff's recommendation that the matter be deferred
until the park dedication policy referred to in Item 5-8
previously is resolved,

REPORTS BY OFFICERS, BOARDS b COMMITTEES
The Manager explained that the Village towing contract has expir-
ed and has been continued on an informal basis because of some
concern expressed regarding the application of the ordinance.
Councilman Hunt stated the majority of the complaints he had re•J
celved involved people not being able to call their own towing
contractor, .The Council felt motorists should be able to do so
if their vehicle is not hindering traffic. Councilman Spaeth
also pointed out the problem of people being unable to reach
their homes because of lack of snow plowing and having no alter-
native but to park on the street. The Manager explained that
the police cannot use the County radio to have calls placed to
independent towing companies but that in many instances they will
drive a motorist to a phone, There are instances, however, when
there is an accident involved or they have received another call
wh_n this is not possible, It was the general opinion of the
Council that the ordinance does not need changing but that it 1s
a judgment factor on the part of the officers involved to aid
motorists whenever possible when a vehicle is not posing a safety
hazard,
MOTION was made by Mayor Hilde, seconded by Councilman Spaeth,
i1recting the Manager to indicate to the Police Department that
It is the desire of the Council to practice as much courtesy as
iossible in these cases and offer as much practical assistance
as the situation will allow to persons needing a tow particularly
if %he citizen wishes to get to a telephone to call his own ser-
vice. Motion carried, four ayes, with Mayor Hilde voting nay,
indicating lie felt the Police Department was at present doing a
good ,job in this area,

Hans Hagen of Ban Con, Inc. appeared before the Council explaining
they have a purchase agreement on 120 acres on the south side of Pike
Lake, He requested the Council consider negotiating with. Maple Grove
to extend sewer service from another development of theirs on the
north side of the lake to serve ,this proposed development area and
also the Pike Lake Addition. He stated this extension would provide
capacity for 10 to :5 years,
Mayor Hilde questioned the Council if they were in favor of encour-
aging a good deal of development this far from the nucleus of the
Village and undertake the improvements that would be necessary,
Councilman Hunt pointed out that the proposed Ran Con development
would require only a few blocks of trunk line and that the developer
would install their own utilities thereby causing no bonded indebted-
ness to the Village. Councilman, Neils stated he did not feel the
Village should encourage development in this area if capacity is not
available to the north as it would allow a very significant leapfrog
over undeveloped areas,

Mayor Hilde raised the question of whether this additional flow
will cause difficulties with the intercepter betweenLift
Station A and Lift Station 1 in view'of the freeze on Federal
funding for this type project. It was concluded that this addi-
tional flow will create a heavier burden on this line but that
since the approval has already beef given for this extension. (Amend, 44643)
the only alternative available at this time is to restrict any
further development in this area as proposed by the resolution.

The Manager presented to the Council a proposed weed ordinance. VILLAGE CLEAN-UP
At the present time the Village is governed by S+ate Statutes PROGRAM
regulating the control and eradication of noxious weeds, The Item 6-E
proposed ordinance would also call for the cutting and removal
of grass and other vegetation and the grading and maintenance
of vacant lots within 100 feet of residential districts. Coun-
cilman Neils stated he felt the 155 administration charge over
actual costs should be increaso,d to 255. Ths Manager explained
this is a question of how much of the total costs the Village
wishes to recover. A good deal of the work involves getting
anluntary compliance,
The Council discussed whether or not open farm land and unplatted
areas should be included within these regulations. It was felt
these areas could be deleted in that the State Statutes stake care
oil the noxious weed problems in these areas.
Councilman Hunt suggested the inspectors when sending out first
notices to property owners also supply the names of a couple cut-
ters advising the people that these people will do the job for a
certain rate, but that if they do not have the cutting done them-
selves, they will be ao4sessed a higher rate when the Village is
required to do the work,
he Council authorized the staff to proceed with an ordinance
amendment along the lines of the ordinance proposed deleting
reference to open land,

The staff also,,presented to the Council proposals for a general
Village clean-up,which would either involve the Village contract-
ing with priv4te haulers to do curb -side pickup on certain days or
contracting with dumping sites for the privilege of permitting
Village residents to',dump there within a specified period of time.
The Manager also submitted a proposal of obtaining the services of
an employee through the Urban Corps Program and the creation of
Neighborhood Environmental Awareness Teams (NEAT) for neighborhood
clean-ups.
After lengthy discussiok of various alternatives and problems,in-
volved, a NOTION was mads by Councilman Neils, seconded by Council=
