DATE: June 17, 1999
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Dwight D. Johnson, City Manager
SUBJECT: Summary of Agenda Items for June 22, 1999
6.08 Streetscape Plan. This item would incorporate the streetscape plan into the City's
comprehensive plan. No references to or commitments for the expenditure of public
funds are included as a part of the plan. Implementation of the first phase will come
before the Council in a month or so.
6.18. Renew ICWC contract. This is a renewal of the three year program that utilizes
minimum risk prisoners for unskilled labor in various City projects, mostly in the Parks
and Recreation Department. Council members who were present 1.5 years ago recall that
this was very controversial with the maintenance workers. Since then, there have been
many meetings with them and many modifications to the program. As a result, the
maintenance union leadership indicates that they do not object to continuing the program
for another year and that it should not be an issue in our new negotiations this Fall.
7.1 "No Wake" ordinance for Medicine Lake. AMLAC, the Association of Medicine
Lake Area Citizens, has requested this ordinance to control erosion and shoreline damage
when the water is high. The City of Medicine Lake must also approve this measure.
8.1 Audit. The City has received an "unqualified" opinion, which is the best that can be
made. The auditors and staff will discuss several recommendations and suggestions in
the audit report.
8.2 Moen-Leuer. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the plan, but by
a 3-2 vote did not recommend two staff recommendations to shorten Building 5 (the
building fronting Medina Road) by 80 feet and eliminate three additional loading docks.
The Planning Commission majority did not see explicit foundation for the two staff
recommendations.
However, the development is a PUD which implies a negotiated design, not just a "by the
numbers" development. Also, staff finds that the PUD allows more intensity than a
straight I-1 design, and therefore the City can reasonably ask for some mitigation of the
intensity of the development, especially with respect to the loading docks fronting
Medina Road and the residential area to the South. Severalideas have been mentioned:
1. Remove the westerly 80 feet of Building 5 as well as three loading docks to the west
planning staff recommendation)
2. Allow the whole length of Building 5, but only every other proposed loading dock.
3. Allow the whole length of Building 5, but allow loading docks only on the east end of
the the building that is screened by an existing building (about the easterly half of
Building 5.
4. Allow the whole length of Building 5, and allow perhaps 8 of the 13 requested
loading docks along the entire length of the south end (one for each bay), but further
restrict the actual allowed uses in Building 5 to help assure that no users requiring
anything more than very light truck traffic actually leases there.
All of the options should help mitigate the intensity of this development. Staff met with
the developers and their attorney at their request this morning to see if any new ideas for
mitigating the effects of Building 5 could be found that might be acceptable to all
concerned. We may have more contact with them on Monday or Tuesday.
8.3 Merten application for conditional use permit and variance. This application
would allow a single family dwelling to be built on an existing, substandard lot of record
in an existing developed area. It has some aspects of the Don Myron application of
several years ago that went to the state Supreme Court before it was finally settled. The
Planning Commission recommended denial of both the CUP and the variance, but staff
recommends approval of the variance application and denial of the CUP. Staff is not
comfortable that we have adequate grounds to deny the variance. Staff has been
informed that Mr. Merten's purchase agreement with the owners has been withdrawn.
Public Works is interested in buying this land for water quality purposes as well as a trail
connection. Contact has been made with a representative of the owner, but no
negotiations have begun as of Friday. If the owner is willin& to consider selling to the .
City, this item may be tabled Tuesday night until the July 6 meeting.
8.4 Stop sign at Yucca Lane and 60h place in Lake Camelot Estates. Neighbors
petioned for this stop sign according to City policy, but the subsequent point ratings (70)
fall short of the 100 points that indicate a stop sign should be installed. Engineering does
recommend several other safety measures as an alternative.
8.5 HRA vacancy. The council can appoint from the previous applicants or direct us to
advertise for new applicants. The City Attorney advises that in the case of an HRA, state
statututes provide that the Mayor appoints and the council confirms a candidate.
8.6 Appoint a Ward 3 council member. It is anticipated that whoever is chosen will be
sworn in on July 6, 1999. Appointment is by motion and majority vote of the council.
9.1 Speed hump policy. Council member Bildsoe mentioned this idea a few weeks ago,
and staff concurs that adopting a speed hump policy would be helpful. The proposed
policy incorporates some concepts from our current stop sign policy as well as some
ideas from several other cities such as Burnsville. Council is asked to provide direction
for a final draft at a future meeting.
