Councilmember Mader inquired about the difference between the $1,834,000 cost in the draft resolution and the $2,025,000 figure cited in Resolution 96-39. Public Works Director Anderson explained the amount in the proposed resolution is based upon a bid amount for Northwood Road, a fixed budget amount for sealcoating and for Lakefront Park improvements, and a revised estimate for County Road 21; whereas the earlier figure is an estimate based upon the feasibility report. Councilmember Mader also asked about the $50,000 for Lakefront Park and the relationship was contemplated by other plans recently reviewed by the Council. Director Anderson explained the funds were for park improvements such as paving, trails, and parking lot construction which will be consistent with the overall improvements per the approved masterplan. The Mayor noted this was a public hearing and that no one was present to comment.

Councilmember Greenfield recalled a Council discussion when a project approval was delayed since all of the necessary easements were not acquired. He inquired whether this had been resolved, since it appears some remain.

MOTION BY KEDROWSKI, SECONDED BY SCHENCK, TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 96-37 ACCEPTING BID FOR PROJECT 94-02 (NORTHWOOD ROAD IMPROVEMENTS). Councilmember Greenfield inquired about the engineering costs as noted in Staff Agenda Report and whether this was a normal percentage of the project cost. Larry Anderson commented that the amount was 9.7 per cent of the bid amount, which was less than the guidelines set by the State Department of Transportation for Municipal State Aid Projects.

Consider Approval of Resolution 96-42 Denying a Variance Appeal by John Schiffman of Planning Commission Decision in Case 96-015. - The item was introduced by the Mayor. Acting Assistant Planner Leek reviewed the Staff Agenda Report and explained the recommendation. The Mayor recognized Mr. Schiffman, 15220 Howard Lake Road. He thanked City staff and councilmembers for their time and interest. He M050696X-DOC 6 Minutes of the Prior Lake City Council May 6,1996 cited the character and topography of his parcel. He said there were various bases for hardship, including the size, steep slopes, the estimate that about 85% of the site is unbuildable, and the impact of the professional landscaping by a previous owner. He does not want to urbanize the parcel since mowing about 4 acres is a difficult chore and requires substantial investment in equipment, as would snow plowing of a long driveway. He said that there is an increased number of licensed drivers in his household, and thus a need to protect more cars. He disagreed with the staff suggestions, including possible use of a tennis court, use of fill, and a new freestanding garage. He said the suggested use of a nearby site was unacceptable because it would be too far from the house, would require removal of trees and a new drive, and the neighbor would lose privacy. He said he has reasons to build the addition as proposed and there is a reasonable basis for the request within context of legal standards for a varIance. Councilmember Kedrowski said he appreciates points made by the petitioner, and there appears to be a uniqueness and a hardship imposed by ordinance standards. The Mayor asked whether any Planning Commissioners visited the site since the discussion in the minutes is not clear on that point. Councilmember Greenfield agreed and noted that one of the duties of a commissioner is to visit sites. Councilmember Schenck asked the petitioner whether he would pave the area in front or leave it in grass. Mr. Schiffman said he would pave the area. Councilmember Mader said that he visited the site but he has difficulty supporting the request in that the ordinance was adopted for a purpose and would apply here. The petitioner's garage has four stalls now and approving the request could set an undesirable precedent. Councilmember Greenfield said he appreciated the opportunity to meet with Mr. Schiffman on site, but the ordinance standards deal with owner- created circumstances and needs which are not a sound basis for granting a vanance. MOTION BY KEDROWSKI, SECONDED BY MADER, TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 96-42 DENYING A VARIANCE APPEAL BY JOHN SCHIFFMAN OF PLANNING COMMISSION M050696X.DOC 7 Minutes of the Prior Lake City Council May 6,1996 DECISION IN THE MATTER OF REQUEST FOR VARIANCE, CASE NO. 96-015V A. Upon a vote taken, ayes by Andren, Greenfield, and Mader; nays by Kedrowski and Schenck, the motion carried. F. Consider Approval of Resolution 96-43 Denying a Variance Appeal by Muriel Rounavar of Planning Commission Decision in Case 96-026. - The item was introduced by the Mayor, and Planner Leek explained the request and recommendation per the Staff Agenda Report. The Mayor recognized the petitioner, Ms. Muriel Rounavar, who noted the characteristics of the lot, her desire to not have a narrow dwelling, and the need for a single level living area. She said site and building aesthetics are important. She does not want to put up retaining walls. She introduced Mr. Bud Waund who presented photos and graphic information about the site and the proposed home. He questioned comments by Department of Natural Resources staff regarding the variance, and terminology in City staff report, which were referenced by the Planning Commission. He offered a "reality check" on the ordinance variance hardship standard. He referred to the buildable areas on lots in several newer subdivisions. He said the petitioner is seeking permission to build on a smaller area or "envelope." Also, he cited the typical size of lots in the Sand Point area. He summarized the bases for the two variances, and stated the proposed home would significantly enhance the area. Councilmember Schenck questioned whether the graphic information presented by Mr. Waund was the same as in the agenda packet. Mr. Waund said the material presented was different, and staff just received the survey because the petitioner just got it. The City Attorney inquired whether the deck shown on the graphics presented to the Council was involved with the variance. Planner Leek said it was not evaluated since it was not part of the original submittal. Mr. Waund said the deck is proposed and was designed to comply with ordinance standards. A brief discussion ensued about the deck which would be required to comply with ordinance minimum standards or a separate variance would be required before a permit would be issued. The Mayor asked if "setback averaging" were used, would variances be required? Planner Leek referred to red lines on a site drawing shown by M050696X.OOC 8 Minutes of the Prior Lake City Council May 6,1996 Mr. Waund, and he explained how averaging works. The variance action requested would still be needed. The Mayor questioned the relevancy of averaging since it did not account for line-of-sight or view considerations. Planning Director Rye commented on averaging provisions of the Shoreland Management Ordinance. Councilmember Greenfield inquired about the setbacks of adjoining structures. Planner Leek responded referring to the available site data. Councilmember Kedrowski asked whether the proposed deck would impact ground coverage calculations; Planner Leek said it would not since decks are not calculated as impervious surface. MOTION BY MADER, SECONDED BY GREENFIELD, TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 96-43 DENYING A VARIANCE APPEAL BY MURIEL ROUNA V AR OF PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION IN THE MATTER OF REQUEST FOR VARIANCE, CASE NO. 96-026V A Upon a vote taken, ayes by Andren, Greenfield, Kedrowski, Mader and Schenck, the motion carried. 8. NEW BUSINESS A. Consider Approval of a Lease Agreement with Scott County for Radio Transmitter for Police Communications. - The item was introduced by the Mayor. The City Manager explained the proposed agreement and the recommendation. MOTION BY GREENFIELD, SECONDED BY KEDROWSKI, TO APPROVE THE LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN SCOTT COUNTY AND THE CITY OF PRIOR LAKE REGARDING A RADIO TRANSMITTER FOR POLICE COMMUNICATIONS AND TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR AND CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT. Upon a vote taken, ayes by Andren, Greenfield, Kedrowski, Mader and Schenck, the motion carried. B. Consider Review of Outstanding 1995 and 1996 City Council Directives.- The City Manager reviewed the Staff Agenda Report. He explained that only pages with pending items were produced for the packet. Councilmember Kedrowski asked for clarification of the relationship M050696X.DOC 9 Minutes of the Prior Lake City Council May 6, 1996 between Directive 95-27 and Directive 96-05 (Maintenance of sidewalks and trails). He said this was an important policy consideration and the Council should be of like thinking on this. Discussion ensued and Director Anderson recalled the direction for preparation of a policy. The Mayor inquired when the policy draft would be done; the Manager said it should be accomplished by Fall. Councilmember Kedrowski clarified Directive 95-47 in discussion with the City Manager and Director Teschner. MOTION BY KEDROWSKI, SECONDED BY MADER, TO ACCEPT THE REPORT ON THE COUNCIL DIRECTIVES AND SETTING SEPTEMBER 1, 1996 AS THE COMPLETION DATE FOR DIRECTIVE 96-05. Upon a vote taken, ayes by Andren, Greenfield, Kedrowski, Mader and Schenck, the motion carried. 9. OTHER BUSINESS A. The Mayor referred a letter to Staff she received from a resident of 16588 Ramsey St. S.W. regarding an abandoned car complaint. B. Councilmember Kedrowski provided an update of Minnesota Valley Transit Authority actions; he noted that Executive Director Bev Miller is going to appear at a future meeting regarding transit service in the City by means of Dial-a-Ride. He explained the City will have to pay more if a proposed demonstration project works. The Mayor observed that the service is primarily for summer and will not replace other routes; there is not additional cost to the City. Councilmember Kedrowski said that was correct; but if it is carried beyond summer, the costs would be borne by the City. C. The City Manager provided an update regarding the Red Oaks subdivision. The City Attorney is going to review the situation and report. D. Councilmember Mader referred to his April 24 letter to the City Manager. He said that he is especially seeking a report on the status of contracts for custom services and for construction. He explained the reasons for his concerns and a brief discussion ensued. He said a second concern is with the basis for granting variances and he would like a report from the City Attorney. M050696X.DOC 10 Minutes of the Prior Lake City Council May 6,1996 The City Manager said that a training session on the subject of variances was being planned and the Council could attend. MOTION BY MADER, SECONDED BY GREENFIELD, TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREP ARE A REPORT ON CONTRACTED SERVICES AS OUTLINED IN THE APRIL 24 LETTER FROM COUNCILMEMBER MADER AND TO INCLUDE THE COUNCIL DURING THE SCHEDULING OF TRAINING ON ZONING VARIANCES. Councilmember Greenfield stated he would prefer that there be two motions so the individual topics could be voted upon. The Mayor said she can support first request as explained by Councilmember Mader, and she supports the need for training, noting that there has been a relative loss of continuity with the turnover of senior Planning Commission members. Councilmember Kedrowski asked how much staff time would be involved to prepare the report on contracts. The City Manager responded that it was important to clearly understand what was requested, noting there are many contracts. Councilmember Mader explained that the special or customized contracts are his primary concern. Director Teschner asked about thresholds for reporting, since the authorized amounts vary on some service contracts; he suggested $25,000 or more. The City Manager also recommend that the report deal with current contracts. Councilmember Greenfield stated he understands what the requested report is about and that the guidelines summarized by Staff were appropriate. The Mayor commented that the requested information is public and should be readily available. Upon a vote taken, ayes by Andren, Greenfield, Kedrowski, Mader and Schenck, the motion carried. 10. ANNOUNCEMENTS/CORRESPONDENCE A. The Manager said that an Executive Session is scheduled for May 20 after the Council meeting to review collective bargaining agreement status and strategy. B. The Council determined that a meeting of the Economic Development Authority on May 13 was unnecessary.
