Consider Petition From Charles Prindle et. al to Order Feasibility Report for Road Improvement Project. Acting Mayor Kedrowski opened the meeting due to the fact that Mayor Andren had vacated her chair during this discussion. City Manager Boyles stated that the Council's policy for accepting a petition for a feasibility study requires the signature of 35% of the property owners and that the Prindle's petition was signed by only 25% of the property owners. Council should determine if property owners must assume the cost of the feasibility study should Council approve the.petition with less than the 35% required. Public Works Director Anderson presented an overhead of the area under discussion, and stated that there are two methods by which feasibility study projects can be initiated: (1) By petition format which requires at least 35% of real property owners signing the petition, and, (2) An improvement project and feasibility study can be initiated by the City Council. Council's policy has been that if it has not been supported by 35% of the property owners, the feasibility study does not take place. Mr. Anderson entered into the record a fax from Genevieve Bolger stating that she does not support the request. A representative of the Prindles, Miles Lindberg from BRW, discussed the petition request, the proposed street location, the proposed plat, and reviewed the historical aspects of the property under discussion.

Fanny Griffith, 1425 West 28th Street, Apt.402, Minneapolis, owner of Lot 1, and part owner of the 80 acres objected to platting the land into subdivided lots. Discussion occurred regarding the 35% requirement of property owners who signed the petition. Discussion occurred on the -4- Prior Lake City Council Minutes January 17, 1994 a. Ce prospect of an assessment appeal which could be based on (1) the property is not suited for the development or, (2) that the cost of the development exceeds the benefit realized by the properties.

City Manager Boyles suggested Council have a target which could be: What kind Of parks does the city want to be able to provide for each subdivision? How large must that park be? Should our standard be two playfields for each 60 unit subdivision, a 120 unit subdivision? Should it be accompanied by a one acre or two acre tot lot? If Council agrees on those standards, then it is easy for staff to determine the process to arrive at these standards. Bill Mangan stated that the city has developed standards which are outlined in the 2010 Comp Plan. Planning Director Rye stated that in light of recent Supreme Court decisions there must be a very close connection between dedication requirements and needs and demands generated by that particular development which requires the dedication. City Manager Boyles clarified the intent of Council as follows: What are the park dedication requirements of other communities? What are the target dates needed for parks given a certain size subdivision? What is the existing policy versus the proposal? After discussion, Greenfield withdrew his second.
