The skating rink rules, hours and staffing, need to be approved by the Council. The hope is to utilize the skating rink this year. CITY OF OTSEGO COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 PAGE 2 Larry Fournier asked about the phone access Bill Olson has a phone next door for emergency calls. The rink will be next to the pole building, the same as last year. Larry Fournier questioned the first aid training. Jeff Asfahl said if they had a candidate with no first aid training, they would proceed to train them. Ron Black asked if the budget included a telephone in the warming house? Darlene said not at this time, but we will include it in the regular Park and Recs budget. Ron Black felt there should be a telephone available. Judy Hudson stated that there was a phone out there when the building was constructed. Ron Black said he would recommend a phone be there before the doors open. Norman F Freske agreed. Floyd Roden said there should also be a port -a -potty. Judy Hudson will check prices on a port -a -potty. Mayor Freske thanked Darlene Solberg for all the work. FLOYD RODEN MOTIONED APPROVAL OF THE ICE RINK OPERATION BUDGET. RON BLACK SECONDED THE MOTION, PROVIDED THAT IT INCLUDE A TELEPHONE. (FLOYD AGREED). MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 4. JEFF ASFAHL - DISCUSSION OF #728 JOINT REC. BOARD ISSUES: Jeff Asfahl appeared before the Council. He is appreciative of the support from the Council and the City of Otsego. He has prepared some information outlining the local impacts. He went over the programs and talked about the upcoming hayride. Floyd Roden and Doug Lindenfelser are donating wagons. We have 100 people signed up and could possibly use another wagon. We are talking about having a bonfire. He is seeing an increasing need for family type events. Otsego residents take part in other Rec. programs. Their office has registered 135 people from Otsego and 375 Otsego residents are taking part in Youth Association activities. We are learning from other communities mistakes. The 1995 Administrative budget is indicated on another sheet. The Joint Powers Agreement was modified, but the intent was not changed, only clarified. CITY OF OTSEGO COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 PAGE 3 Transportation issues are being studied. The annual meeting is at the City of Otsego on October 13, 1994 at 7:15 PM. They will be looking at community athletic needs. Jeff asked for any questions? There was none. Larry Fournier said his committee feels there is a real need in our community. The name Dist. #728, is a problem for the other School Districts within Otsego. Jeff Asfahl stated that it is not the first time he has heard this. We need to identify some of those schools, get a mailing list and also advertise in the Star News. Although it doesn't cover all areas of Otsego. There is a need for more public education concerning this Norman F Freske said this was a concern when we started the Joint Powers Agreement. Ron Black asked Jeff Asfahl to elaborate on transportation. Jeff Asfahl stated that some participation was suffering because of transportation. A transportation system may be able to be put in place. A grant was applied for, but no money was received. Mayor Freske thanked Jeff Asfahl for doing a super job and the hard work on the part of the Park Board. 5. OPEN FORUM: None 6. DAVE LICHT, PLANNER: Dave Licht appeared before the Council. 6.1. DISCUSSION OF SHORT AND LONG RANGE PLANNING: He said this item and 6.3 are interrelated. He talked about long and short range planning. They have analyzed the amount of developable land in the immediate Service Area and the land parcels are very split up. He asked the Council to give their thoughts and discussion on the same. Larry Fournier felt the Comp. Plan. should be updated and reviewed periodically, as the needs of the City Change, also the direction the City is going. David Licht felt it is premature at this point. As part of the plan, we said once the Immediate Urban Service area is getting full, we should look at moving the line out. The one fundamental issue that has not been resolved is sewer. As a professional, I cannot recommend you continue developing one acre lots, until the sewer issue is resolved.(he talked about it further) The Comp. Plan. cannot be addressed until there is some agreement in terms of sewer. If a plant with Dayton is pursued it could change the Comp. Plan. CITY OF OTSEGO COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 PAGE 4 The other factor is Hwy101. Until that is done you will not see a big push in terms of non-residential development. You are realistically premature by six months. The community on the West side of Albertville is also early. Mayor Norman F Freske said we are getting pushed from a lot of areas, we should look into it. David Licht said Albertville can be looked at. Norman F Freske said maybe when we get a date for Hwy 101, we could work it out. David Licht said availability of sewer and water will make a substantial difference on Commercial and Industrial Development on Hwy 101. Larry Koshak talked to Mark Benson from Mn/DOT and the Hwy 101 project is still scheduled for 1996 with completion by 1997. This has not changed. Ron Black doesn't feel much has changed, except sewer service availability from the City of Elk River. Ron agrees with Larry, that we should concentrate our efforts on sewer and water and resolving the drainage issues. He asked when sewer and water would be installed north of Co.39 and east of Parrish Avenue. He said the owners expect to see quality there, so sewer and water needs to be available. After that is done, we can work on the Land Use Plan issues. Norman F Freske talked about working with Dayton and Frankfort Twp. regarding sewer. There is money available if we work together. Ron Black said we are talking about sewer and water for Industrial and Commercial only, not Residential. Larry Fournier said we needed to put all the issues on the table. Now, He feels, this has been done. 6.2. DISCUSSION OF MANDATORY TWO CAR GARAGE EITHER DETACHED OR ATTACHED AS A BLDG REQUIREMENT: David Licht said the P.C. considered whether or not to mandate a two car garage, on new construction. The P.C. voted three to two to leave the ordinance as it is. Not requiring a two car garage. David said this may be a legal issue. Outside storage may be one reason to require a garage, but it is a matter of housekeeping. Financing is the third factor. Requiring a two car garage may exclude Federal programs for financing. You will have to highlight, if you feel it should be pursued. CITY OF OTSEGO COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 PAGE 5 Doug Lindenfelser said we should send out notices. I can't see building a house without a garage. Dave said it is a self policing problem thru the contractor. Norman F Freske said there are some new homes without a garage, maybe not in platted areas. Andy MacArthur said if the sole rational is the outdoor storage, it is a weak rational. Doug Lindenfelser would like to see double garages, but not get into a legal battle. Larry Fournier said most people are building garages. David Licht also explained enforcement and buildings. Andy said we do have a pretty strong nuisance ordinance. LARRY FOURNIER MOTION TO ACCEPT THE PC RECOMMENDATION AND DO NOT REQUIRE A TWO CAR GARAGE. FLOYD RODEN SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 6.3. DISCUSSION OF COMP PLAN: see above 6.4. ANY OTHER PLANNING BUSINESS: 6.5. DISCUSSION OF ACCESSORY POLE BUILDINGS PERTAINING TO , It ORD.) Dave Licht said presently, the ordinance does allow for pole buildings in A-1 and A-2 district. The P.C. discussed and on a five to two vote decided the ordinance should stay as it reads. It becomes more important because Otsego is in transition. The majority of communities do not allow pole buildings in Residential districts. Pole buildings are more economical. David talked about character and image. We are not in a position to advise you. It is a matter the community has to decide. Doug Lindenfelser said in the ordinance where does it say you cannot build pole structures in R-1, R-2, orR-3? With the modern technology, a variety of colors and free maintenance, there is a big demand for them out there. I feel it would beautify the City and the City should allow them. David Licht clarified one point. He is not taking a position. He explained by provision in the first chapter of the ordinance, unless a use is specifically stated it is prohibited. Larry Fournier said when reading the zoning ordinance, in the R zoning districts it is vague. It leads to different interpretations on what the ordinance says. CITY OF OTSEGO COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 26,1994 PAGE 6 It leads to our residents not being treated fairly. We should repeat it again in this section. It should say if we can or can not have them. David Licht said that is another issue. If you can or can not have pole structures is what we are addressing. I am not aware that one resident is being treated differently then another. Those are two separate issues. Doug Lindenfelser said there are many pole structures throughout the City. We may as well allow them. David Licht said the City is divided into the Immediate Service Area, the Long Range area, and the Rural area. He explained further about the Comp. Plan and the areas. Doug Lindenfelser said if I use a metal skin you wouldn't know if it is a pole structure. He talked about Cities that allow pole buildings and feels we are being unjust to the people by not allowing pole structures. Floyd Roden said he has looked at the 20 year old garages and there a lot of garages falling apart no matter what material they are made of. Norman F Freske said he felt it is like requiring two car garages, it's a matter of people keeping up their property. Doug Lindenfelser asked David Licht to explain R-1, R-2, and R-3. David did explain acreage per unit. A-1 allows 1 unit per 40 acres. R-2 allows 1 unit per 10 acres. Overall density is what you are dealing with. Doug Lindenfelser said the talk is changing country lots to Residential.(Ag, 1 per 40) David Licht said under the Comp. Plan there are three areas. 1) Immediate Service Area, 2) Long Range Service Area and 3) Rural Service Area. Under the Comp Plan, by zoning, if you are A-1 or A-2 you can have a pole building. He talked about Meyers Addition with R-2 Zoning. He explained further the benefits of zoning and the different ways to go about it. Larry Fournier felt the concern is the language in the ordinance. It isn't spelled out clear in the ordinance or we would not be having this discussion. DOUG LINDENFELSER MOTIONED TO ALLOW POLE STRUCTURES IN R-2 ZONING AS AN AMENDMENT TO THE ORDINANCE. FLOYD RODEN SECONDED THE MOTION. CITY OF OTSEGO COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 PAGE 7 FLOYD RODEN, AND DOUG LINDENFELSER VOTED FOR, RON BLACK, LARRY FOURNIER AND NORMAN F FRESKE VOTED NO. Ron Black asked what is the purpose of this? Dave Licht said there has only been a discussion of the concept. He explained the procedure. If you approve the motion. you are initiating the motion. Ron Black said there has been a lot of discussion on holding a line on the budget. Does this accomplish that? Doug Lindenfelser asked if applying for a CUP would maintain the budget more? Larry Fournier said if we had a clarification of the language, we may not need to change the ordinance. David Licht felt we should have a memo from Jerry Olson as to how he uses the ordinance. You can acknowledge the fact that you agree with the interpretation. Doug Lindenfelser asked why can't this be done thru the city staff, the building inspector etc.? Andy MacArthur agreed with David Licht that it is clear. Dave said he felt there is no question what the ordinance says today. He talked about the letter from the building official on the same. Allowing pole buildings in R-1, R-2, and R-3 is changing the ordinance. Larry Fournier said he talked to Jerry Olson before the meeting. He said the ordinance is vague and he would appreciate it if it were clearer. Ron Black said he strongly recommend that Doug Lindenfelser sit down at a staff meeting and go over it. 7. ANDY MAC ARTHUR, CITY ATTORNEY: Andy MacArthur appeared before the Council. 7.1. ADOPTION OF THE SNOWMOBILE ORDINANCE: Andy MacArthur said the definition of right of way would allow a lot of people to be on right of ways we don't want them to be on. He has made all the changes. He recommends passage. CITY OF OTSEGO COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 PAGE 8 FLOYD RODEN MOTIONED. RON BLACK SECONDED TO PASS THE SNOWMOBILE ORDINANCE. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Ron Black thanked the snowmobile committee. Mayor Freske thanked Tom Constant also. 7.2. REPORT ON BONDING9/28/94: Closing set at 10AM on Wednesday 9/28/94. Jerry Perrault has the documents. Andy MacArthur will not be able to attend. Jerry Perrault and Jim Barthel will be there. 7.3. ANY OTHER LEGAL BUSINESS: None 8. LARRY KOSHAY, CITY ENGINEER: Larry Koshak and Kevin Keilb appeared before the Council. 8.1 LEFEBVRES WATERJIED DISTRICT,_PRELIMINARY MAP: Larry Koshak explained the boundaries per the new map. There are some areas on the original moratorium map we have precluded, some areas west of Odean Avenue. We show where that is included. Another area that is different is Fabian Sadowski, the watershed line has moved south further, based on the topos and MRD 2nd add is shown. Other than that, the map is fairly consistent. No questions. Larry Koshak provided a letter on the LeFebvre Watershed Moratorium history and discussed the easements. A moratorium was put on until we could aquire the easements. He explained the letter further (see attached letter). Any questions? None. 8.2 DISCUSSION OF CITY OF MPL,S STREET SWEEPINGS (AS LANDFILL) Larry Koshak said there was a violation of the land filling operation on LaBeaux Avenue. There was a violation in excess of 50 cubic yards. The landowner had indicated he was coming in for a building permit. He deposited sweet sweepings on his land prematurely. Engineers recommendation to Elaine was, if he did not apply for a permit within ten days, he would need to remove the landfill. Larry Koshak said it is unsightly material. It has debris in it, paper, plastic, bottles. Engineer recommends amending the ordinance not to allow municipal street sweepings, or define clean fill in the ordinance with an amendment. As long as it is not a pollutant and is allowed. We do have a pending application by Mr.Chip Martin to put this on his property. He is here tonight. Larry Fournier asked if we add a section to our ordinance that defines clean fill, how would you police it? CITY OF OTSEGO COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 PAGE 9 Larry Koshak said it would be very difficult. He explained further. Mr. Chip Martin said he had a load on his property. There is glass and paper in it. They dump it and back over it. LARRY FOURNIER MOTIONED TO HAVE A SECTION ADDED TO OUR ORDINANCE DEFINING CLEAN FILL. RON BLACK SECONDED THE MOTION. "That the burden of proof is on the applicant " MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Andy Mac Arthur didn't have a problem with that but said Larry Koshak should define clean fill. Ron Black said one concern he has is, is it enforceable? Larry Koshak said defining street sweepings was not the way to go. Discussion of the testing, the person hauling in fill is to demonstrate that it is clean fill. Mr.Chip Martin said the City of Mpls gave him a deal on the testing. They test it for metal only. What else can they do? Larry Koshak said some of the materials should be placed in a landfill. We can require what we need to assure the City the material is acceptable. Ron Black asked what is the process the City of Mpls goes thru? Is there a period of time where testing could be done? Norman F Freske said the City of Mpls should check with the City they are hauling to. 8.3. WETLAND VIOLATION OF MR SCHMID: Larry Koshak explained that Mr. Schmid is here. Kevin Kielb explained the letter on the fill activity in a wetland. The Department of Natural Resources saw the illegal landfill and issued a cease and desist order. It said the fill material needs to be removed and the wetland restored. It needs to be done by December 31, 1994. The landowner has to remove the material. If it is not removed by that date it becomes a misdemeanor. The process had not been followed. We gave the opportunity to show there were no wetlands there. He did. It furthered our case. He has a chance to go to BOSR. He explained further. If we don't take him to court the Board of Soils and Water would. Norman F Freske asked how much fill we are talking about? CITY OF OTSEGO COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 PAGE 10 Kevin Kielb said 30' x 50' and 2' in the water. The issue is Mark McNamara has gone out there and looked at it. He delineated the wetland and stated there was wetlands. He is on the technical panel for the City and his comments are respected. Ron Black suggested that we reserve any comments since this mater is pending and the landowner is writing this letter under the statutes. Dave Schmid asked who is willing to determine if it is wetland? He said his abstract does not show wetland. The guy before him dug out the lowland and put the dirt by the house. He talked to the previous owners and they had gardens back there and it was mowed. He said he cleaned the hole out it had wood, glass and garbage in it. I am trying to make use of my own land. I have kids. I can't believe they can come to me and say remove it. I have proof on my abstract here. I got my building permit. The building inspector looked at it and saw no problem with it. The wetlands are 2" from my garage. More discussion was had. He said that is a man made hole. He said he was willing to sign the decease letter and willing to work with them. Mayor Norman F Freske thanked Dave Schmid. Andy Mac Arthur said the abstract does not say whether or not there is a wetland. It is beyond the City now. Determination has been made. Dave Schmid said why did the City let me build the garage? The garage was built last summer. Andy MacArthur said you have two separate issues here. More discussion. Mrs. Schmid said the hole is 4' deep and she asked if they can put a fence there. She has had two kids fall into it. Answered talk to the building inspector. She wanted to know if they get to prove their side? Floyd Roden said the soils and water in Buffalo has made the determination and they have the wetlands maps. 8.4. AWARD ON 88TH ST RECOMMENDATION: Bids are as follows: Bituminous Consulting & Contracting Buffalo Bituminous, Inc. Aero Asphalt, Inc. Bauerly Bros. Valley Paving 66,018.75 Bituminous Consulting and Contracting bid was $51,186.80. Five percent over the Engineers estimate. Larry Koshak stated they were under because of the smaller project.

Kevin Kielb felt he could not get the price under $10,000.00 RON BLACK MOTIONED TO ACCEPT THE GOPHER ELECTRIC QUOTE, BUT RESERVE AWARDING THE CONTRACT UNTIL WE CAN NEGOTIATE FURTHER. MOTION CARRIED 4 TO 1 WITH LARRY FOURNIER OPPOSING. Larry Fournier wanted to know what the quote was. Ron Black said it was $16,853.00. More discussion. 8.6. ANTELOPE PARK - RELEASE G P LAND CORP FROM DEVELOPERS AGREEMENT AND LETTER OF CREDIT: Larry Koshak explained, we have taken care of the storm sewer. I am not aware of any lots that are not built on, so it is down to simple matters. Judy Hudson stated that there are four or five lots left. Ziegler has agreed to landscape with trees, etc. Larry Koshak recommends, with these conditions met. Ron Black wanted the landscaping done under the developers agreement. Larry Koshak said we would have to get this signed by October 1, 1994. Council agreed on this. Larry Koshak explained we are under warranty for the storm sewer only. CITY OF OTSEGO COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 PAGE 12 RON BLACK MOTIONED THE DEVELOPERS BE ADVISED THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO EXTEND THEIR LETTER OF CREDIT UNTIL THE DEVELOPMENT IS COMPLETED IN ANTELOPE PARK. LARRY FOURNIER SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 8.7. ANY OTHER ENGINEERING BUSINESS.

RON BLACK MOTIONED TO SUSPEND MINING PERMIT #3. LARRY FOURNIER SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Doug Lindenfelser asked how much had been removed? Larry Koshak explained amount with the City getting five percent of that. Ron Black said if the landowner had provided this information to the City, that had been asked for, this could have been prevented. Larry Koshak delivered the topography maps and prints. He recommends paying in full the MarkHurd invoice. Larry Koshak said Riverwood Conference Center had a meeting on the wastewater treatment facility. The Health Department, Jerry Olson and I were there. They are going to hire an engineer to engineer a sewer system for them.

They are interested in providing Sewer and water to the old village. Otsego suggested that Frankfort Twp join into those discussions. Frankfort Twp has commended a sewer study. The timing is good to set up a joint meeting. Dayton wants to initiate that. Re: Industrial and Commercial along Hwy 101. Doug Lindenfelser said they will have a joint meeting with Frankfort and St Michael. Larry K explained. There is a sewer committee. Ron asked if there is a general agreement that we should pursue discussions. Council agreed. Norm will try to contact Frankfort to set something up. He talked to the Mayor of Dayton today. Larry Fournier asked if the letter went out for the petition on the storm water project. Elaine Beatty said yes it did. Doug Lindenfelser questioned having an election judge from outside of your community? Elaine Beatty stated that yes you can, if you've exhausted your possibilities in your community. 9.

PARKS AND RECS: Dave Chase said the sliding hill in the park took three hours of dozer time and needs clean fill. There is some material back there. Dave said he worked for free last weekend, but needs about $300.00 for the dozer. Larry Fournier asked if that came out of the Park and Recs Fund. Floyd Roden said out of the General Fund, we didn't have to remove that dirt. Tom Baillargeon said the trees, trunks and junk are piled up and they are making a sliding hill out of it. We saved a lot of money by not moving that dirt. Dave Chase donated a lot of his time. He recommended we get 20 or 30 yards of dirt to cover the sliding hill. CITY OF OTSEGO COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 26,1994 PAGE 14 Larry Fournier asked if it is a permanent structure. Tom felt it was a solution for the time being.

We have also discussed the events during the moratorium and what may be the final outcome. November 22, 1993 the City Council had an informational meeting on the watershed for the landowners. The meeting primarily discussed possible storm water runoff solutions in the commercial area between CSAH42 and TH101 and from an area just west of CSAH42. We discussed in general the development potential of the watershed. There exists a need for the City to have jurisdiction over the creek which is the only outfall in the watershed. We had determined easement sizes and dimension needed along the length of the creek from TH101 to CSAH42 and also over a drainage route from 85th Street to the creek. These easements are critical to the management of stormwater runoff under developed conditions. Comments from some of the landowners of the easement areas at the meeting were that these easements would not be available to the City. An attempt to acquire easements over that portion of the creek in the Darkenwald property failed due to the owners refusal to provide the easement during the CUP request on the nursery at TH101 and CSAH42. At the December 13, 1993 Council meeting, we asked the Council for direction based on the responses from the landowners who attended the meeting. Councilman Black asked if it would not be in the best interest of the City to place a moratorium on development until we get the easements. The Council then passed a motion to have the planner and ourselves look into developing a moratorium document. CI 1 rvavnrc Page 2 September 19, 1994 On January 24, 1994, the Council reviewed the document prepared by NAC. The Council also discussed exemption for the school and the third Industrial Park. The matter was tabled by motion for revisions. The moratorium was passed at the February 28, 1994 Council meeting with revisions. Councilman Fournier introduced the motion for adoption and also stated that this moratorium is for one year unless easements are acquired prior to that. To date, those easements have not been acquired by the City. Shortly after passage of the moratorium, the Council ordered our firm to prepare a storm drainage plan for the urban service area which included the Lefebvre watershed and in particular its outlet to the river. Along with the study, the City acquired contour and topography maps which would provide the necessary data for delineation of the watershed and other information necessary to complete the study. Since some of the landowners from whom the easements were to be taken stated that the easement appears to be more than they thought was necessary, we decided that perhaps with the newly acquired contours and topo, pursuit of the easements would better wait until the new data was studied. The topo and contours were due from the vendor around July 1 and we did not receive them until late August due to delay in scheduling. We are now working on the storm water plan to be presented to the Council in late October. We will know by then whether the easements we proposed are adequate or not. Then, with Council approval, we can begin to attempt to acquire the easements. The moratorium is on until 2/28/95 or until the easements are acquired. There is no guarantee that the City can acquire the necessary drainage easement within the next few months.
