(but not limited to) the criteria outlined in Section 20-3-2.F of the Zoning Ordinance:
A. The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the
official City Comprehensive Plan.
Finding: The Comprehensive Plan guides the site for commercial uses. This area
is described as the City's primary commercial area to be developed with uses that
serve local and regional markets. As the focus of the City's commercial areas and
the primary gateway to the community, the Comprehensive Plan encourages
developmentof high quality, cohesive centers. The proposed developmentplan is
consistent with this framework in terms of uses, site design, and building and site
design standards to be provided as part of a PUD District.
B. The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area.
Finding. The subject site is bounded by TH 101 to the east, commercial and
institutional uses to the south, commercial uses to the west. The area north of the
site is currently agricultural, but planned for future commercial use. The site design
is sensitive to existing single family residential uses to the northwest by locating a
less intensive officelretail use at this comerof the project andproviding a reasonable
amount of screening.
C. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained in the
Zoning Ordinance (i.e., parking, loading, noise, etc.).
Finding.- The proposed use will conform to all applicable development regulations,
including those standards or requirements modified or incorporated as part of the
PUD District.
D. The proposed use's effect upon the area in which it is proposed.
Finding.- The proposed use will have a positive impact to the community in terms of
expanding consumer opportunities, expanding the City's tax base, contributing
positively to the City's identity with high quality site and building design, and utilization
of available municipal utilities. Any negative impacts related to the surrounding
neighborhood will be addressed as part of the PUD development standards and
during the development plan review process for each site.
E. The proposed use's impact upon property values of the area in which it is proposed.
Finding: Although no study has been completed, the proposed use is not anticipated
to negatively impact area property values.
F Traffic generation by the proposed use in relation to the capabilities of streets
serving the property.
Finding.- The applicant will prepare an analysis of traffic generation and impacts
created by the project. The applicant will be responsible for any measures
necessary to prevent any negative impacts to public streets due to traffic generated
by this project
G The proposed use's impact upon existing public services and facilities including
parks, schools, streets, and utilities and its potential to overburden the City's service
capacity.
Finding: The proposed use is not anticipated to have a negative impact to the City's
service capacity. The project will contribute to the City's tax base to support its
service capabilities and utilize available infrastructure improvements.

RE: Otsego - Solberg CUP
DATE: 2 April 2002 APPLICATION DATE: 3 March 2002
NAC FILE: 176.02 - 02.07 CITY FILE: 2002-07
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the above referenced request on April
1, 2002. Almost all of the comments from the applicant or from several surrounding
property owners dealt YAth. floodplain issues, County or Federal regulations effecting the
area, and the City's current exploration of grant funds to buy-out properties in the area.
No one had issue vAth the specific request to expand the existing dwelling, which is non-
conforming.
As has been discussed Wth the City Council previously, this area of the community
presents long-term problems for access and sewage treatment as because of the elevation
of Parrish Avenue, soil conditions, and flood potential. Federal and County regualtions
that the City is required to enforce limit expansion or sale options for properties in this area
because of these conditions. City staff is pulling together information on the area and
intends to have an information meeting vAth area residents to discuss these problems and
Possible solutions. Because of the stir created by this application, we are advancing the
schedule for this meeting to have it as soon as possible.
After closing the public hearing, the Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend
approval of the CUP as outlined below. This application WlI be on the City Council
agenda for April 8, 2002 at 6:30 PM. Findings related to the Planning Commission's
recommendation are attached.
A. Motion to approve a conditional use permit allow expansion of a legal non-
conforming single family dwelling to improve its livability as provided for by Section
20-15-3.E, subject to the follo\Mng conditions:
The number of sleeping rooms is not increased beyond the three (3) existing
bedrooms.
2. Comments of other City Staff.
B. Motion to deny the request based upon the following findings:
Access to the property is more than two (2) feet below the regulatory flood
elevation, which does not conform to Section 20-94-7.C.4.
2. The first flood elevation of the existing dwelling is below the regulatory flood
elevation, which does not conform to Section 20-94-7.B.l. a.
3. Approval of the request would sustain a non -conforming use that creates the
potential for loss of life and property, health and safety hazzards, and extra-
ordinary public expenditure for flood protection and relief contrary to the
intent of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
C. Motion to table the request.

Conditional Use Permit
Findings of Fact
& Decision
Request: Consideration of a CUP provided for by Section 20-15-3.E. to allow expansion of a
legal non -conforming single family dwelling located at 9912 NE Parrish Avenue.
City Council Meeting Date: 8 April 2002
Findings of Fact: Based upon review of the application, the recommendation of the Planning
Commission and evidence received, the City Council of the City of Otsego now makes the
following findings of fact:
1 . The legal description of the property is described by attached Exhibit A.
2. The property lies within the Long Range Urban Service Area and is guided for low density
residential land uses by the 1998 Comprehensive Plan Update, as amended.
3. The property is zoned A-1, Agricultural Rural- Service District; Single family uses are,
permitted uses of the A-1 District.
4. The property is within the WS, Wild Scenic and Recreational River Overlay District; Single
family uses are permitted uses within the WS District.
5. The property is within the FF, Flood Fringe District- Residential uses are conditional uses
of the FF District subject to the standards establis�ed by Section 20-94-7.0 of the Zoning
Ordinance.
a. Single family dwellings within the FF, Flood Fringe District must have a first floor
elevation at or above the regulatory flood elevation. According to the submitted
survey, the regulatory flood elevation is at 866.2 feet in the area. The first floor
elevation of the existing dwelling is at 866.0, 2.4 inches below the regulatory flood
elevation. The existing dwelling is a legal non -conforming structure.
b. Residential uses within the FF District must have vehicular access at or above an
elevation not more than two feet below the Regluatory Flood Protection Elevation.
Parrish Avenue, which provides access to the property, is at an elevation of 862.7
feet to 863.6 feet across the front of the lot, which is more than two feet below the
regulatory flood elevation. Access to the residential use is legally non -conforming.
6. Section 20-15-3.E of the Zoning Ordinance allows for expansion of legal non -conforming
single family dwellings by conditional use permit.
7. The Planning Commission and City Council must take into consideration the possible
effects of the conditional use with their judgement based upon (but not limited to) the
criteria outlined in Section 20-4-2.F of the Zoning Ordinance:
A. The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the
official City Comprehensive Plan.
Finding.- The Comprehensive Plan calls for strict adherence to and enforcement of
all floodplain ordinances and Federal floodplain insurance regulations (Policy Plan,
p. 35). The City's Floodplain Overlay District has been established in order to
"restrict or prohibit uses which are dangerous to health, safety, or properties in times
of flood or which cause increases in flood heights or velocities" (Policy Plan, p. 36).
The proposed addition serves to sustain the residential use of the property for which
the City would ultimately seek to phase out because access to the property cannot
be ensured during food periods, health risks posed by septic systems vulnerable to
flooding, or damage to property. However, the proposed addition only improves the
livability of the dwelling, which already exists. Expanding this dwelling in a manner
that meets flood protection requirements would not place additional property at risk
or further compromise the safety of the residents as the access issue is not altered
may be appropriate.
B . The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area.
Finding.- The subject site is in an area of the community developed with single family
uses, many of which may be non -conforming due to the requirements of the
Floodplain Overlay District Because of these floodplain issues, a long-term
continuation of residential uses is questionable. Expanding the existing dwelling may
sustain the existing residential use on this property.
C. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained in the
Zoning Ordinance (i.e., parking, loading, noise, etc.).
Finding- Any addition to the existing dwelling must meet applicable performance
standards and not increase any existing legal non -conformities.
D. The proposed use's effect upon the area in which it is proposed.
Finding: Ultimately, the issue of ending residential use of this or other properties
within the area will likely be determined at such time as the septic systems must be
updated. This is will occur either at such time as there is a problem with the existing
system or the property is sold. In the short term, the proposed addition would not
negatively impact the area provided that any new construction meets applicable
performance standards, does not increase the potential number of inhabitants, or
otherwise require modification of the septic system.
E. The proposed use's impact upon property values of the area in which it is proposed.
2
Finding.- Although no study has been completed, the proposed use is not anticipated
to negatively impact area property values.
F. Traffic generation by the proposed use in relation to the capabilities of streets
serving the property.
Finding.- The proposed use is not anticipated to generate any additional traffic.
G. The proposed use's impact upon existing public services and facilities including
parks, schools, streets, and utilities and its potential to overburden the City's service
capacity.
Finding: The proposed addition represents an investment in a property which the City
has regularly had to protect from flood damage by pumping the area. While the
addition does not expand this impact to the City, it may mean a continuation of this
service.

Associated Consultants, Inc., is incorporated herein.
9. The engineering review dated 21 March 2002 prepared by the City Engineer, Hakanson
Anderson Associates, Inc., is incorporated herein.
10. The Otsego Planning Commission conducted a public hearing at their regular meeting on
1 April 2002 to consider the application, preceded by published and mailed notice. Upon
review of the application and evidence received, the Otsego Planning Commission closed
the public hearing and recommended by a 7-0 vote that the City Council approve the
conditional use permit based on the aforementioned findings.
Decision: Based on the foregoing information and applicable ordinances, the requested
conditional use permit is hereby approved based on the most current plan and information
received to date, subject to the folloWng conditions:
1 . The number of sleeping rooms is not increased beyond the three (3) existing bedrooms.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Otsego Mayor and City Council
FROM: Daniel Licht
DATE: 2 April 2002
RE: Otsego - Comprehensive Plan Update
NAC FILE: 176.18
The Planning Commission held a public hearing at their meeting on April 1, 2002 to
consider the updated Comprehensive Plan. Comments received during the public hearing
included the following:
Midwest Landscapes at CSAH 37 and 1-94 requested designation of their property
as "mixed use"
Comment: The City does not have a "mixed land use category"" Designation of
that type of land use must typically be accompanied by a detailed'concept plan for
a specific area to define what the intended mix of uses is. In the case of a more
generalized land use plan such as that used for Otsego, a mixed use proposal can
be accommodated as part of a PUD development request, which provides for the
appropriate /eve/ of detail and review As such, no change to the land use plan is
recommended.
2. Floyd Roden and Donald Weidenbach requested that their properties northwest of
CSAH 19 and 80'hStreet be included within the west sanitary sewer service district.
Comment: The boundaries of the west waste water treatment plant were defined
based upon planned sewer capacity, gravity sewer limits, and projected
development potential. Expansion of the west sewer district to include the Roden
and Weidenbach properties at this time would be premature due to limits on sanitary
sewer capacity and an available supply of land near the planned treatment plant for
development The decision as to how the west sanitary sewer service distlict will
be expanded into the urban service reserve area is essentially deferred until more
land is needed and there is available sewer capacity.
Page I of 2
3. Keith Vetsch requested that all of his property located west of Jalger Avenue and
bisected by 80th Street be put into the west sanitary sewer district.
Comment: Again, the boundaries of the sewer district were defined based upon
physical factors such as planned sewer capacity, gravity sewer limits, as well as
projected developmentpotentiaL Property ownership is not one of the factors used
to establish the generalized concept plan or land use plan for the City because they
are less objective and artificial man-made boundaries subject to easy changes. At
such time as sewer is extended to the property and a development request is
received, the City may consider adjusting the boundaries of the west sanitary sewer
service district.
4. Randy Karsten who lives east of CSAH 19 and north of 80'h Street was concerned
about changing policies in the area for agriculture preservation, which allowed for
expansion of existing feedlots, to urban services and the location of a waste water
treatment plant in the area.
Comment: Obviously, the decision to proceed with construction of a west waste
water treatment plan will significantly change the character of this area. However,
the area has long been designated for urban development and is a logical
expansion of the regional development occurring in Albertville and St. Michael.
5. Nancy Anderson, who lives on Mason Avenue, had questions regarding expansion
of urban, development into the urban service reserve area and long range urban
service area.
Comment. The conservative projections prepared as part of the Comprehensive
Plan update and waste water treatment facilities plan suggest that development of
the initial west sanitary sewer service district may take up to 15 -years. No time table
has been established for full service of the urban reserve area. But, given its size,
such a proposal would be considered long-term at best Extension of service to the
long range urban service area will only be considered upon request of area property
owners or environmental necessity based on current City policy.
After receiving these comments and discussing each issue, the Planning Commission
closed the public hearing. There was no additional discussion. The Planning Commission
voted 7-0 to recommend that the City Council adopt the Comprehensive Plan Update as
drafted. This item will be on the City Council agenda for April 8, 2002 for consideration.
A resolution to adopt the Comprehensive Plan update is attached.

DATE- 2 April 2002 ACTION DEADLINE: 28 June 2002
NAC FILE: 176.02 - 02.04 CITY FILE: 2002-06
Please be advised that the Planning Commission held a public hearing on April 1, 2002
to consider the above referenced request. Mr. Robert Fields of Landcor Construction, Inc.
was present to provide additional information on the development plan and construction
schedules. Mr. . Fields indicated that they have no' significant issues 'with the
recommendations from City Staff and would work to finalize the detail items prior to a
development approval for any of the building sites.
Comments from the public were limited to Mr. Chance Nelson of 9193 Parrish Avenue who
was concerned about traffic impacts to CSAH 42 and glare site lighting. Traffic issues be
subject to further discussions with the developer, City staff and County staff to try and
address not only issues with this project but existing problems on CSAH 42. Site lighting
has been identified as a significant issue to be considered with each development plan
and appropriate fixtures and installations will be required. Landscaping and the orientation
of the buildings will also serve to minimize the impact of noise and light glare to the
residential uses to the west-northwest.
Discussion by the Planning Commission after closing the public hearing was limited to
concerns about traffic and spacing requirements from Christ Lutheran Church for the liquor
store shown on the site plan. A liquor store at this location would meet the 500 -foot
separation requirement. After discussion, the Planning Commission voted to recommend
approval of the PUD District, PUD Development Plan and preliminary plat subject to the
conditions outlined by City Staff. Findings consistent with the Planning Commission's
recommendation have been attached for review at the City Council meeting on April 8,
2002. At that meeting, the City Council may consider the following actions:

Re: Ditch Cleaning Completed by Backes Companies and the Corresponding Storm Water
Credit
As requested, we have completed an overview of the ditch cleaning for a portion of Lefebvre
Creek (specifically a portion of Ditch Segment 871L from the Trunk Storm Water Facilities
Study for Portions of Lefebvre Watershed — March 1999).
Last month the Developer of Crimson Ponds, Mr. Backes, formally requested reimbursement for
the ditch cleaning his contractors performed on Ditch Segment 871 L.
The work was completed during 2000 and 2001 and consisted of reestablishing the ditch bottom
to its original grade to provide a more efficient storm water system.
Many controllable difficulties arose during the ditch cleaning project, which could have been
avoided if normal procedures were followed. There is no signed agreement between the City and
Mr. Backes. A written and signed agreement would have defined the process for this project.
The City then would have been able to review the project and plans for current need of
improvements, estimated costs and reimbursements, wetland avoidance and easement issues.
Letters of credit or performance bonds could have been required to ensure the contractor's and/or
developer's compliance and completion. Also, the City Attorney would have been able to draft
and review any agreement.
As it was, the project began with no knowledge of any of the City staff, the surrounding
landowners and the Wright County Soil and Wz'ater District.
Consequently numerous avoidable problems arose:
The Wright County Soil and Water District issued a Cease & Desist Order on July 16,
2000, to determine if the Wetland Conservation Act was being violated. As LGU, the

City resolved the issue by finding that the ditch cleaning met the exce tion requirements
p
of the Wetland Conservation Act.
2. A landowner, where some of the ditch cleaning occurred (Morrisette), objected. A
settlement between Mr. Backes and Mr. Morrisette was reached without City
intervention.
3. No NPDES Permit was procured.
The above problems shed bad light on the City. Wright County Soil & Water District and
residents called the City with questions and concerns. City staff had no knowledge of the
construction because Mr. Backes or his associates failed to follow proper procedures.
The ditch cleaning of Segment 871L was completed in late November 2001. Wehavenothada
chance to review the finished product for proper side slopes, property seeding of slopes, any
erosion of the side slopes, proper spreading of spoil and proper seed of spoil areas. Therefore,
any reimbursement or credit should be withheld until verification of these items can be
determined (mid -summer).
Also, the ditch cleaning of the entire length of Segment 871L was not completed due to the
eastern 530' extending onto the Darkenwald property, so appropriate adjustments to full
reimbursement to 87 1 L is required.
Currently, the City has been concentrating its efforts and monies on the. downstream sections of
the Lefebvre Creek where the flow from developed areas is going. Segment 871L is located
downstream of the Crimson Pond Development, but is located in"agricultural land which may be
years away from development (depending on East Sewer Plant Phase 3 expansion). Continued
farming adjacent to the ditch may result in portions of the ditch silting in again, making the
existing ditch cleaning premature.
The following is the City's options in granting the request for reimbursement to Backes
Companies for trunk storm facility work within the Lefebvre Watershed District.
Partial payment at this time in accordance to Backes Companies invoice, for work
completed with full payment after verification of project completion.
Now $22,690.91
July $22,690.91
(If completed to Engineer satisfaction)
Total $45,381.82
Partial payment at this time in accordance the estimated cost shown in the Watershed
Study with full payment after verification of project completion.
Now $21,146.00
July $21,146.00

ITEM 7.1
3. Due to the construction being premature, the City could wait until this area, around
and adjacent to Ditch Segment 871L, develops and then reimburse the Backes
Companies. The ditch cleaning should be reevaluated at that time to determine if
farming practices have silted the ditch segment to any extent.
4. Some portion or percentage deducted for improper procedural processes. Procedural
processes were lacking communication with the City, which caused after the fact
review of plans, wetlands and "shed bad light" on the City to residents and the Wright
County Water & Soil District. Portion or percentage could be determined off of 1, 2
or 3.
The City is under no obligation to pay anything due to no contractual aorreement.
6. Any other system or terms, which City Council deems fair. Since there was no
contract agreement, the City should have full discretion.
Our only recommendation for the City Council is to not Adopt Option 5. Mr. Backes has
completed a Development within the City of Otsego and has future land to develop within the
City of Otsego. It is our opinion, besides this ditch cleaning, that he has worked well with the
City staff. The ditch cleaning of Segment 871 L is a vital portion of the Lefebvre Watershed
Trunk System although at this time it is premature. Any payment to Mr. Backes should also be
contingent upon a drainage easement of 50' on either side of the centerline of the ditch being
granted to the City.

Re: MSA Account and General Funds as pertaining to 85 1h Street Construction — Page
Avenue to Nashua Avenue
As requested by the Council, we have reviewed the estimated cost of construction, MSA
monies currently available, advance MSA monies and general City of Otsego fund
monies to determine if the 85 1h Street project can be moved forward by one year.
Currently in the Otsego MSA construction account, there is $191,041. Otsego's 2002
MSA construction allotment is $214,864. This totals approximately $406,000. During
2002 we plan to have State Aid reimburse the City approximately $260,000 for remaining
easement settlements on Odean Avenue and 78t" Street and the remaining State Aid
appor-tionment for Odean Avenue Construction. This will leave $146,860 in the account.
Currently in the general fund there is approximately $750,000. The City is allowed to
borrow up to three years advance encumbrance of State Aid Funds. Using 2003, 2004
and 2005 State Aid monies, we estimate the City would be able to receive approximately
$645,000. Using all three sources of funds gives an estimated grand total of $1,542,000.
The estimated cost of the entire 85 th Street project estimate is $1,491,000 or $50,000 of
extra funds for any unforeseen change orders or a higher than predicted bid. This
constitutes a maximum of 3% change in bid or change orders.
The City also may be concerned with lowering its general fund, albeit temporarily, to
such a low level. We recommend waiting one year, as initially proposed, to garner more
State Aid Funds.

Re: Service Road for Commercial Area NW of CSAH 39 and CSAH 42
As requested, we have reviewed the above -referenced area and have some cost estimates for
various remedies.
Currently the Frontage Road is in very poor condition and requires patchinc, at least twice a year.
This is due to the age of the road (which was built in 1978 with the last ovecr'lay in 1988) and the
amount of traffic on the road, but primarily from lack of adequate drainage in the area.
I spoke with Mr. Chase and he estimated the cost per year of maintenance to be $2,000 to $5,000
per year when you factor in equipment, man hours and materials. He also stated he receives
numerous complaints on the road.
Recently, Dave Chase and I viewed the road and I have enclosed two photos.
Options on the road are as follows:
I . Leave as is — road is in such bad shape this is undesirable.
2. Patch bad areas and overlay entire length with 2" overlay. Overlay should last 5 to 10
years. We would also recommend minor grading of the south side of the service road
from the west property line of Tom Thumb west to the culvert under the service road.
We estimate the costs to be $27,500.
3. Complete reconstruction of the service road. This option would last approximately
20 years. With reconstruction of the road, we would recommend installation of
water, sewer and storm sewer as outlined in the Feasibility Study we updated last
year. We have estimated the total project cost of reconstruction at approximately
$260,000.
If you have any questions or need additional information, you may contact me at 763-427-5860.

RE: Engineering Report and Feasibility Study
Extension of Lateral Sewer and Water
Mississippi Shores 6t' & 7t' Additions
Commercial Area, Northwest Quadrant CSAH 42 & 39
Revision Date: 4/12/01 By Ronald J. Wagner, P.E.
The trunk sewer and water project will construct a 16 -inch watermain and a 12 -inch
sanitary sewer to the northwest quadrant of the intersection. This review examines and
evaluates extending the sewer and water to service the commercial zoned properties at
that corner.
The attached detailed quantity and cost estimate shows the following:
Sanitary Sewer, East & South Frontage Road $44,090
Water Main, East & South Frontage Road $33,125
Site Work, Removals and Restoration $180,245
Total Estimated Project Cost
The quantity and cost data is based on extension of services to the property line. The
data assumes removal of the existing service road and restoration to city standards with
concrete curb & gutter. The cost data assumes that there will be no responsibilities
within the study area for current or future utility cost in Park Avenue north of the
improvement area. This would be true if no sewer and water service were provided
from Park Avenue to properties in this study area. It should be noted, however, that
some properties will be responsible for future street improvements on Park Avenue. All
properties will be separately responsible for on-site utilities including the piping and site
restoration work associated with the private sewer and water work. Also, each property
will be responsible for connection charges based on the number of equivalent
connections determined by property use.
Related to allocation of cost, the intent will be equity, with a formula selected to fairly
assess the costs. Several options are available including an allocation based on front
footage, an allocation by area or a division of cost on a unit basis. For discussion
purposes, an assessment based on the average of all three methods is shown.

Our recommendation is that the city call a public hearing as authorized by Minnesota
Statutes Chapter 429, to consider the making of a public improvement that has special
benefit to property. The hearing would be for sewer, water and street improvements to
the commercial district that comprises the Mississippi Shores 6 th & 7 th Addition.
The recommended project is shown on attached sketch sheets. The project as
configured provides sewer and water service to the entire commercial district and
constructs sewer and water facilities that conform to the city overall utility planning. The
project is feasible as proposed and can be constructed as a single project.

Re: Finn Road or Jalger Avenue from 85th Street to 77h Street
Dave Chase and I reviewed Jalger Avenue due to its poor condition in some stretches.
This section of Jalger Avenue was an experimental project conducted in 1995 using new
techniques developed by the Finnish. That is why this road has become known as the
"Finn Road".
The road has a permeable type asphalt, which is suppose to remain flexible. 'Over the
years, it appears in some stretches (0.4 miles), some of the material has become more
brittle then others and has started to ravel and potholes are developing. These stretches
are probably due to a number of problems.
I . Improper mixture of original material
2. Poor sub -rade beneath pavement
Weath
er has stripped away much of the asphalt content leaving little asphalt to
bind material resulting in raveling and eventually asphalt bre "
C� akdown.
We estimated the cost of overlaying the bad stretches with a 2" overlay at $-32,500.
We recommend the City continue patching type maintenance for now as it is a relatively
lightly traveled road ana if the west sanita'r-'y sewer plant is established development

Re: Otsego's Waterfront Project
Dynamic Design and Land Company
Dear Mike:
As discussed, we would be pleased to assist the City of Otsego and the Developer,
Dynamic Design and Land Company, in expediting the Otsego's Waterfront Project. We
would be willing to give top priority to this project and to move this project forward at as
rapid of a pace as possible.
If the City decides to take over the project and authorizes us to proceed at its Council
meeting of April 8, 2002, and the Developer is willing to provide us with an electronic
file of the Preliminary Plat and Fin'al Grading Plan by April 10, 2002, we would
anticipate the following schedule:
Task
Prepare plat and plans and specifications to submit to
reviewing agencies for permits
Submit to City Council to set the bid date
Receive bids
Award bids
Begin construction
Completion Date
April 29, 2002
April 29, 2002
May 24, 2002
May 28, 2002
June 10, 2002
Should the City elect to help finance the project by bonding and assessing the costs to the
Developer, we could incorporate the assessment procedures of State Statutes 429 into the
schedule with no additional delays. Based on the above schedule, we would anticipate a
time saving of at least one month proceeding as a City project versus a private project.

regular City Cou�c� mc;6& and some of it was unreadable

The deeds: ea.6 provide their respective owners with rights of itgress and easement..:
'across the �describtd. easement. The parcel that is burdened the ingress �nd egress

o4jacent parcelshave an erest in the easement parcel, and W: 9: uld all have 1to,

Mr- Beaudry brings up ious: issues in a short memo, which he submitted t6� the City I

Itis MY opinion that a req�ircmcnt of a roadway dedication is� i reasonable 'Condition of,

crucial the casements be bbuiined across any parcel that may b�econie a strelet'k the

If the City does not ac the casements at the time of approVal of a requelt, it may be,
