Councilmember Greenfield clarified the purpose of the Resolution; the Mayor inquired whether deletion of Condition No. 5 would resolve the concern; Councilmember Schenck inquired when the City would get the letter of credit; and the City Manager noted Condition No. 2 seems to cover the concern. M052096X.DOC 3 Minutes of the Prior Lake City Council May 20, 1996 The City Attorney recommended that Condition No. 5 be retained. Further discussion ensued.

Consider Approval of Resolution 96-29 Vacating the Roadway Res 96-29 Easement Portion of Chatonka Beach Trail. - The Mayor stepped Easement down, explaining she had a conflict of interest; she handed the Chatonka gavel to Mayor Pro Tern Greenfield. The City Manager Beach explained that the required number of four members was not present. He recommend that the Council conduct the hearing, close the hearing and then defer action until the next meeting. Acting Planner Leek reviewed the proposed vacation per the Staff Agenda Report. He said the hearing had been continued from April 15; he noted that Staff recommends the roadway portion only be vacated; the portion of the easement for drainage and utility purposes should be retained. The proposed resolution does that. The Mayor Pro Tern noted this was a public hearing and he recognized Duane Melling, 4833 Beach Street N.E., who inquired whether part of the easement was owned by Chatonka Beach owners. Director Anderson explained that the road was originally a private roadway and the city acquired rights for the public road via condemnation. He said there may have to be a court opinion to determine precise ownership of the roadway portion that is vacated. The City Attorney agreed. M052096X.DOC 6 Minutes of the Prior Lake City Council May 20, 1996 Greg Engebos, 4931 Beach Street N.E., stated concern that the easement area was intended to be access for maintenance of the Knob Hill development's ponds. Director Anderson commented on the subject strip; he said the City needed the drainage easement to provide for a natural overflow and, thus, further protection for properties to the east. Luella Newstrom, 4949 Beach Street N.E., stated two concerns: who would own a walkway if one were put in, and to whom the vacated land would revert. The Mayor Pro Tern clarified the previous comments and purpose of this hearing to determine whether it is in city's best interests to vacate the easement. He explained that the primary alternate function of the land was for area drainage. Judith Haugh, 4973 Beach Street N.E., asked for clarification of what would be greenway, noting that it was a complicated situation. The concern is with the area at end of Hemlock Circle. Councilmember Kedrowski commented as to possible alternate uses, noting that an owner cannot build on an easement. The Mayor Pro Tern also explained the purposes of the vacation. The Mayor Pro Tern observed that no other persons desiring to speak were present. MOTION BY KEDROWSKI, SECONDED BY SCHENCK, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

Councilmember Greenfield inquired whether the proposed fees weren't in the original project architectural fees? The City Manager explained that they were not; Director Hokeness commented on the procedure that the Council had directed Staff to follow. Councilmember Greenfield recalled that the architect was going to include this design work in his fees, and he stated his concern that the additional fees proposed seemed excessive. Director Hokeness commented on the extra effort and hours this architect had put in on the entire project as well as on the proposed facility; he said the city got its value. The Mayor asked Director Hokeness to explain the process; he stated that we are starting from the beginning essentially with design and bidding. Councilmember Schenck inquired about the contingency referred to in the letter in the Agenda Report. Director Hokeness explained the purpose was to have a modest contingency this time, whereas we did not have one before; the amount would be $2,000-$3,000. The contingency is needed in case of unusual conditions such as soil corrections. The City Manager explained that the Council will see this again when bids are to be let. The City Attorney noted that change order would be required for contingency actions. Councilmember Kedrowski said he recognized Councilmember Schenck's concern about the contingency amount; past practice has been to allow staff some discretion in the field to handle unanticipated adjustments. Upon a vote being taken, ayes by Andren, Greenfield, Kedrowski and Schenck, the motion carried. M052096X.DOC 8 Minutes of the Prior Lake City Council May 20, 1996 B.

Upon a vote being taken, ayes by Andren, Greenfield, Kedrowski and Schenck, the motion carried. The meeting recessed at 8:50 p.m. and resumed at 8:55 p.m. B. Consider Approval of Resolution 96-54 Approving Conditional Res 96-54 Use Permit for Pheasant Meadow and Resolution 96-55 Res 96-55 Approving Preli~ninary Plat for Pheasant Meadow. - The item Pheasant was introduced by the City Manager. Acting Planner Leek Meadow reviewed the analysis and recommendations per the Staff Agenda Report. He said that whereas the conditional use permit approval in draft Resolution 96-54 calls for installation of Balsam Street, the petitioner has an alternative proposal. Similarly, the preliminary plat approval in draft Resolution 96- 55 calls for the construction of Balsam Street and the petitioner has an alternative. M052096X.DOC 9 Minutes of the Prior Lake City Council May 20, 1996 Councilmember Kedrowski asked about the length of Pheasant Meadow Lane; the Mayor inquired whether a variance was necessary, if it is over 500 feet. Planner Leek said the street length was 1,071 feet but there is a future connection to Spruce Lane proposed. Councilmember Greenfield asked about Item 3 in draft Resolution 96-54 and what standard is to be used? Planner Leek explained the proposed units were attached. Councilmember Greenfield commented on the alternatives proposed by the petitioner and asked what could be accommodated within the width of the right of way; perhaps both a street and trail could be provided. Terry Schneider, representing the petitioner, said the alternatives outlined in his May 16 letter had been discussed with staff and the petitioner understood the proposed trail could be accommodated within a 10-12 ft. right of way. Planner Leek noted that the staff recommendation is for full street. Mayor stated her concern with access for emergency vehicles; she said it is not likely that the Sunset Hills neighborhood will depend upon this development and its streets for access, and the proposed neighborhood will not depend upon Sunset Hills streets for access. Neighborhoods should be connected by roads and/or trails per the Comprehensive Plan. This is a case where trails make more sense and she will support the changes to both resolutions. The future of Spruce Road is uncertain, and residential areas need to be buffered from commercial uses; thus, Spruce Rd. should be developed as a bike way and trail. Councilmember Kedrowski inquired whether there was adequate buffer between the residential development and the commercial area. Planner Leek explained how the separation and buffering was evaluated; he noted the proposed ponding and landscaping. The Mayor said the issue is whether there should be commercial traffic directed through a residential area. Councilmember Schenck stated that, if Spruce Rd. is eliminated as a public street, there will be a very long cul de sac. He said he understands the Mayor's point; thus, the key issue is how to M052096X.DOC 10 Minutes of the Prior Lake City Council May 20, 1996 provide for emergency vehicle access. Safety should not be a secondary concern. Councilmember Kedrowski stated that one approach would be to do what the developer suggested for Balsam Street at Spruce Rd., i.e., have a trail as the connection. The Mayor observed that ff the City kept the right of way, but only installed a bikeway and trail, emergency vehicle access would be possible. Further discussion ensued about the length of Pheasant Meadow Lane which would be designed to not bear through traffic.
