PETITIONS, REQUESTS &APPLICATIONS d) Upper Tonka Little League Shed - Deb Bennyhoff Rockvam stated when storage for the Little League at the park was first discussed a few years ago, the Council discussed a foot locker type storage and to be placed out of the way. Bennyhoff pointed out they need a shed or storage container to hold rakes and a pitching machine. Reinhardt asked where it would be placed. Goman said it would be placed next to the Biff. Bennyhoff stated they looked at a maintenance free shed that would have room for what was needed. Reinhardt asked the color and was told it would be tan. Rockvam asked if it would be there year round and was told it would be. He asked if a slab would be needed. Bennyhoff said the shed is removable but it is not convenient to remove it every year. Rockvam stated he did not like the idea of a shed, but something low and could be sat upon. Hughes verified his thought was a storage unit like on a dock. Reinhardt said the City did give direction to the Little League as to what they could do. Williamson said he agreed with the Mayor and the idea • of having storage capability is good and last fall an unobtrusive storage facility was discussed. He stated we are concerned with trying to hide things and this would not be a positive addition especially in the winter. He asked if it would fit in the parking lot across the street. Goman said that is an option. Reinhardt said a concern with that is it would take up a parking spot. Rockvam stated if it is left all year round maybe a fence should be around it. Widmer said a storage locker would not have much space for storage. Williamson said a pitching machine was not previously mentioned. Rockvam pointed out the City let the Little League use the field and the only consideration was they keep the field up but not have something obtrusive for storage. Bennyhoff asked if something out of different material such as wood would be more acceptable. Rockvam asked what is wrong with a foot locker type storage unit. Goman said it would never fit under the bench. It was discussed if it would fit next to the handicap parking on the Park Lane side of the park; the back of the backstop is too shallow and would flood; it would be there year round. Hughes said we have to apply the ordinance requirements for a shed. Friesen pointed out the ordinance allows for an accessory structure to be no more than 10' x 10' and 8' in height and what is being proposed is within the ordinance. Reinhardt said we encourage vitality in the community, it is a negative if we say no to the storage unit. Widmer said she would like to see a shed versus a foot locker and there are trees around where the Biff Tom Seifert Minutes June 5, 2006.doc Page • is. Reinhardt pointed out a 'dead' spot in the parking lot where the shed could be placed. Goman said that area is more out in the open; it could be placed up by the fence but that area is not well lit and more susceptible to vandalism. Rockvam pointed out the appearance would be more noticeable in the winter and should be screened. Goman said we could landscape around it. Williamson stated that does not always get done and the problem is perpetuated. Reinhardt asked if something smaller could be used instead of a shed. Bennyhoff said they wanted something substantial and a foot locker would not be big enough because the size rake they use is larger than a standard rake. She asked if the shed could go on the other side of the fence and it would not interfere with the field but still be accessible. Goman reminded the Council it is not a permanent structure and we could move it. Rockvam pointed out the Little League would be responsible for it and the City should not be responsible for anything. Hughes suggested placing some gravel or river rock for less maintenance to trim around. Goman said the proposed spot next to the BIFF is on gravel. Rockvam suggested the Council look at where it is going to be placed. Williamson suggested checking with neighbors that live around the park and ask if they have an opinion on the matter. Friesen will set up the meeting. Reinhardt told Bennyhoff to see if she could find a storage unit slightly • smaller if possible. a) Construction Update Mist Lofts 1. JE Dunn Re: M. Mason's Letter-5/22/06 Brad Ridgeway, JE Dunn, was present. He reported the brick installation is complete; stucco, roofing, coping and metal panel work is 80% completed; most of level 1 storefront has been installed with the exception of the Main Entry to the North Building; South Building stoop slabs and retaining walls are near completion; the balcony rails are 30% complete. He further reported on the progress of the building interiors; the elevator contractor is 95% complete; electrical, mechanical, and fire protection systems are on schedule; levels 1 and 2 are now receiving finishes such as wood trim, doors, countertops, appliances; framing and rough-ins in the south building are complete and drywall is complete in 11 of 12 units; level one commons around the retail space is framed and partially roughed in; drywall crews are on the fourth level in the north building. Ridgeway reported the site work has begun along Shoreline and up Sunset • Drive and will continue to be their focus. He stated keystone walls have been completed as well as drive ramps to the buildings; landscaping and Tom Seifert- Minutes.June 5, 2006.doc Page 5 • hardscape will be underway in June following utility work and street lighting; the plaza deck area will commence in June; electrical panel for the lift station is complete; street sweeping will continue as before. Hughes referred to the new lighting on Spring Street and asked how many lights at the Mist Lofts would have the baffles. Goman said all of the lights that abut the building would have them and the only ones that would not, would be along the back of the north building. Hughes asked if all of the lights originally planned to have baffles and Goman said he was not sure. Hughes said it made good sense to have the baffles. Rockvam asked when the asphalt and sidewalks would be done. Ridgeway said the sidewalks may be done this week and the asphalt would be the last thing done. Rockvam inquired about the landscaping along the east property line. Ridgeway said the plan is the same original landscape plan; there is a 3 foot area at the property line that will fit root balls of arborvitae and they can work entirely on their lot to plant them. Hughes inquired about the retail space. Ridgeway said there was no news and they have made 50 condo sales. Ridgeway asked if they had any questions regarding the letter of noise complaints. Williamson referred to article 3 in the noise control ordinance and pointed out we have a distinct heading 'hourly restrictions'. He said • it refers to not just noise and no person shall " . . . . is not supposed to start work before . . . "(hours are in the ordinance). He told Ridgeway he always has an excuse for an infraction. Ridgway said the article is for noise and they will continue to do their best. Williamson recommended referring to the City Attorney to follow up on future violations of the ordinance. Mason said his complaint was that at 6:30 a.m. equipment was started up and moving around. Ridgeway stated there is no activity before that time and if the proposed violations are on the street, Mason should call the police. Goman reminded Mason there are no restrictions for trucks parked on Bayview or Del Otero. Mason said he puts up with a lot and does not call a lot and he never sees the police make an on sight appearance. Ridgeway said they will do the best they can and monitor the situation. b) Greg Pedersen, Mound Fire Chief, Fire Contract- Not present yet; will be heard later in the meeting. c) Approval Liquor, Cigarette, Amusement& Dance License 2006 Applications It was stated Croix Oil is technically a BP station. Friesen said the Council could make a condition on that permit or make a separate motion excluding them until the correct ownership is on the application and payment is received. • Tom Seifert- Minutes.June 5, 2006.doc Page 6 • Motion by Williamson and seconded by Widmer to approve the 2006 applications for liquor, cigarette, amusement and dance licenses with the exception of Croix Oil (Spur Station) until the completed application and payment are received. In discussion Rockvam pointed out Pat McGinnis, from All Stars, stated Pat Hanley is an investor in All Stars and has nothing to do with the liquor license. Reinhardt asked if their percentage of food and alcohol is in compliance. Beck said it was. Rockvam amended the motion to include the condition that the police department certifies liquor applicants as listed on the license form. Upon roll call Hughes, Reinhardt, Williamson, Widmer and Rockvam voted aye. All votes were aye. Motion declared carried. Williamson said the cigarette license application for the Spur Station could be voted on at the next Council Meeting. Reinhardt asked if they have applied for a sign permit and was told not yet. Hughes asked if they were aware they needed one. Friesen will call the owner of the Spur Station. • e) Certified Auto Repair& Car Wash, Mark Pfleghaar, 4700 Shoreline Dr. Re: Landscape Plan Rockvam said we should set up an onsite meeting with the Council and Pfleghaar. Friesen stated Pfleghaar has not completed all of the plans that have to be submitted to the Watershed for approval. Williamson said we can review the landscape plan in the meantime. Rockvam pointed out we need pictures to see what the landscaping will look like. He said we could look at Lift Station 6 at the same time. Rockvam verified Schoell and Madson did the landscaping for the lift station. He pointed out the original cost was $350,000 and now the cost is $590,000. He pointed out the Council decided to"bare bone"the project and make it as financially reasonable but concentrate heavily on planting arborvitae all around the structure. He continued that the completed project is not acceptable and he is disappointed the landscape plan did not come before the Council. Adolf said the original plan came before the Council and it did not change with the re-bidding. Rockvam stated the Council wanted to heavily screen the building. Hughes pointed out if we had done a plan with • brick these plantings would have augmented it but we did not so we wanted heavy landscaping. Goman stated we cannot landscape all four sides of the Tom Seifert- Minutes June 5, 2006.doc Page 7 • building and there was never any landscaping proposed on the east side of the building even with the brick design. Williamson said we scaled back and re-bid the project and repeatedly discussed heavy landscaping around that building and that was not brought up on a timely basis until we reached the stage we are at. He stated it was not related back to the Council what the true options really were. Rockvam said we should make it as nice as we can. Goman reminded the Council they were forced to keep the costs low and $10,000 or $15,000 would not put us on pauper's row. Rockvam stated in retrospect we should have kept the first bid. Goman pointed out it was always stated landscaping would be there but t has only been a perception it would be 8 feet tall. Rockvam said if it came before the Council we would have stopped what was installed. Goman pointed out that area is limited for space. Hughes suggested asking Norling to be at that same meeting for input and Goman said Norling is going to make a proposal for exposed aggregate planters to put on the site. He added they would be less maintenance overall. Rockvam asked what would be done with the planters in the winter and was told the same as the median planters. Seifert asked if the Council received a landscape plan from Pfleghaar, 4700 Shoreline Drive and was told yes but specific species were not stated. f) Miscellaneous - Lakeview Lofts Landscape Update Rockvam pointed out this is dated June 5th and this is the first time the Council has seen it and there is no time to review it. Williamson said he is not even going to consider it at this meeting. He said he would like to review the site to see what is being talked about and he does not intend to vote on it at this meeting. Hughes suggested tabling it to the next Council Meeting and Reinhardt agreed. Reinhardt said she thought the Council was going to consider the planters. Beck said the issues are the two gravel areas that were not put in concrete; the Council did not want to put concrete in those areas until it was decided what do there; at one time the idea to plant annuals in the ground was discussed. She added, at a meeting in December 2005 this was discussed but the Council did not approve any particular plan; she said Petrik, from NAC, suggested putting in one raised planter but that needs county approval because it is placing a structure on their right of way; in the meantime Frostad was willing to plant annuals in that spot while county approval is being obtained. Rockvam pointed out Frostad said there would be landscaping at the entrance but the matter never got to a finalized point; we wanted to see a landscaped entrance coming into a residential community; the issue has to be worked out; it is their responsibility to initiate action not ours. Rockvam thought annuals could be planted for now. Williamson said it should • be made clear that anything done on an interim basis is not a final basis. Beck said she would have them bring in the final landscape plan. Tom Seifert- Minutes,June 5, 2006.doc Page 8 'I--. • Friesen noted at this time the operators of Lord Fletcher's Restaurant wanted to give a reports on their musical concerts. Peter Peyerl noted the concerts have been taking place on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. He said they are concerned with the noise levels and had received a phone call from a resident on Fagerness Point. He added it was later determined the loud music was coming from a boat out in the bay. Hughes asked for an update on the sewer backup at Lord Fletcher's last Friday. Goman said the problem was resolved fast and it was grease build up in main line. He stated he would give a full report at the next meeting. In another matter Rockvam asked if a building permit was obtained for the hot tub enclosed down the street. Goman said he would follow up on this. 6. ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS - None 7. REPORTS OF OFFICERS & COMMITTEES • a) Mayor 1. Police Commission Reports & Minutes - May 16, 2006 Widmer referred to the police reports and asked what assisted and advised means. Williamson noted in the reports there were 6 false alarms on Shoreline Drive. He added that may be normal and average however the Council discussed this many years ago and did not take action at that time regarding making a policy on false alarms. He would like this on the Police Commission agenda. Reinhardt noted a problem on Warren Avenue. Goman said it may have been an answer to a phone call. b) Council - Hughes, Reinhardt, Williamson, Widmer Reinhardt referred to her meeting summary from the trail task force meeting and requested the Council to bring up any issues before the next meeting. Rockvam told Reinhardt she did a great job on the summary. Rockvam said we should go back to the original meetings we had regarding that area and the blight and the idea of a trailhead came about. He said we wanted to see it cleaned up with some type of public parking and landscaping and the City would participate in landscaping. Williamson said they thought the City wanted parking to take care of overflow parking from the new condos and that is not true. Williamson pointed out the City wanted parking for people driving to the trail that do not live nearby. Reinhardt said it might be worth considering bringing back our two proposals from last year. • Williamson said if we have some idea what role we might play we can provide input. In another matter Reinhardt inquired about the tennis court -- - - Tom Seifert- Minutes June 5, 2006.doc Page 9 . resurfacing. Goman said he will get back on it after vegetation removal. Williamson referred to the problem with Cornerstone. He pointed out the final plat had not been filed when they dug, etc. and asked that status regarding filing a final plat. Adolf stated the City has to sign a final plat. Williamson asked if we need to obtain a utility easement for any part of that property. Adolf said Cornerstone did submit a draft final plat a year ago and the City will have to review everything when they want a final plat. Williamson stated if we need to excavate and have to do any undermining of their structures at the west end, we need to make sure the City is held harmless. He added we have a hold harmless with Brandis Meyer, 2406 Black Lake Road; we should have the same with Cornerstone. Goman said we can isolate the valves and it will not affect the rest of the City if we do have a problem at that location. Williamson pointed out if damage is done first and then we discover the problem, costs could be extensive. Rockvam said insurance would cover it but we should check to see if we should have a hold harmless agreement. Williamson said the other item is the drainage at 4636 Shoreline Drive. Goman said he would follow up this. He stated he has contacted HCRRA and the utility company to review the run off problem. Rockvam asked if it is possible to install a weir before the drain. Goman said we could try to get the property owner to clean it or the City could do it and charge it back to property owner. • Widmer asked if the flower bed at the corner of Sunset and Shoreline belongs to the City. Goman said it did and it is not part of our beautification package with Norling. He said Norling will be giving us a proposal for the next Council meeting and it would be separate from the beautification program. He added the City received approval from the property owner to install the garden. They briefly discussed sources of volunteers to maintain City gardens. Goman said he requested different colors of plantings versus greens and browns from Norling. Reinhart asked who maintained it in the past. Goman said Norling has separately from the beautification program. Hughes asked if Buttenhoff is going to rebuild the other corner on Spring Street and Goman said yes. 5 b) Greg Pedersen, Mound Fire Chief, Fire Contract 1. MN State Fire Code 2003 Adoption Overview It was stated the contract would be discussed with the police chief. Pedersen encouraged the City to adopt the 2003 State Fire Code. He said the City of Mound adopted it in April and Minnetrista is also going to adopt it. He pointed out it is adopted state wide and enforceable in all jurisdictions and it is the code the fire department uses. Pederson said there are advantages for the Council to adopt it; they can make it more strict i.e. • marinas and parking boats. He stated they are trying to achieve consistency in the area but there are a few negatives to it. Rockvam asked what the Tom Seifert- Minutes June 5, 2006.doc Page 10 • downside is. Pedersen said it has to be enforced uniformly. Rockvam asked how it would impact our apartments and commercial applications and if it would be a big problem. Pedersen said it should not be and the only changes are life safety issues and definite threats. Hughes asked how many changes did the City of Mound make and was told about eight to ten. Friesen said she has that list. Reinhardt asked what Pedersen would recommend for the City. Pedersen said, for example, brush fires are one. They briefly discussed brush fires and recreational fires. Hughes asked how many illegal fires calls are received by the fire department and was told about one a month in the summer. Williamson said we have to hold a public hearing to adopt the fire code. Reinhardt said we would want to tailor it to the City and asked Pedersen to review what Mound did. Pedersen said they require a permit to modify sprinkler systems, require identification on buildings, added three more feet clearing area around fire hydrants. He said we can make it more strict but not less strict. Pedersen gave an update on the fire contract and the new formula. He said all of the contract cities have signed the contract and Spring Park is the • only city left to sign. He said the other cities all have a three year term and a 12 month cancellation notice; the existing service space must be the same or increased. Rockvam suggested the Council have a work session on this. He said he feels strongly about the assessed valuation of the City. Pedersen stated the auto starts can be discussed at the same time. Widmer asked Pedersen to 'pitch' the department's annual fish fry. Pedersen said it would be on June 17th. c) Engineer 1. Schoell & Madson Re: Final Pay Request to Maguire Iron Water Tower- 5/31/06 Adolf said this is the final pay request for the water tank; all work is completed on the tank and the submitted request of$10,645.95 pays off the balance of work done. He said the final contract amount was$2,500 over the original amount. Rockvam clarified the total cost was $800,000 and it is important to realize what we spent. Motion by Williamson and seconded by Hughes to approve payment to Maguire • Iron in the amount of$10,645.95. Tom Seifert- Minutes June 5, 2006.doc Page 11 • In discussion Williamson verified the lean waivers are all affirmed. All votes were aye. Motion declared carried unanimously. 2. Storm Water Permit Adolf stated the Storm water permit will be made prior to the next Council meeting. In another matter he stated at the last Council meeting he would be meeting with Bolander, contractor for Lift Station#6. He apologized for not getting a memo to the Council regarding this. He said it was a productive meeting and he will be scheduling another meeting after direction from the Council. Seifert asked Adolf to issue a memo requesting a call for a special meeting. Adolf said Bolander adjustments leave a significant gap and more work has to be done. • Adolf said the topographical work is completed for the City hall driveway and parking lot and he will have the concept plans for the next meeting. In another matter Adolf stated the Sunset Drive bids were advertised and will be opened 6/13 and awarded at the next Council meeting. It was verified it was the work from Spring Street to the HCRRA property and an alternate bid was for across the HCRRA property. Adolf said he is trying to schedule a meeting with the HCRRA to get their input to coordinate on the design and their participation on the funding; there is also an alternate for the overlay between Shoreline and Sunset Drives and also an alternate bid was for construction of curb and gutter on Bayview Place. He pointed out it was complicated with all of the alternate bids and we will we get reimbursed from the developer appropriately. Rockvam asked if the City pays for any of the bids. Adolf said the alternate bids are the City's responsibility. Williamson asked why Cornerstone was not going to pay for between Sunset and Shoreline Drives. Goman said there was not a disruption of hard surface at that point. Williamson verified Cornerstone was replacing curb and gutter along the sidewalk. Adolf said the county is not forcing the issue of replacing the existing curb and gutter. Rockvam verified from Spring Street to Shoreline is a City expense. Goman explained certain areas are broken up from the age of the roadway. Widmer said she thought when the county did Shoreline last year they were going to do that section at a later date. Goman said it was not in our time frame; the driveway aprons will be replaced along with the Tom Seifert- Minutes June 5, 2006.doc Page 12 • pedestrian crossing at the northeast corner. Rockvam asked if the county will pay for the mill and overlay on Spring Street going north. Goman said the developers are paying for their side to the HCRRA property, the rest is our issue and the alternate bids will give us a price. d) Utility Superintendent 1. Lift Station #6 Goman pointed out this was previously discussed earlier in the meeting and the project is complete 2. Pavers Goman said the price for a 25"paver strip from 4032 Shoreline Drive to Bayview Place is $6,022 for a 300 foot stretch. He requested a motion to proceed forward or the Mist Lofts will replace that section with concrete. Hughes verified that area is where there is an elevation difference and that would be corrected. Goman said they are proceeding next week with the sidewalk and then the pavers. Williamson verified the entire block would be done and asked which fund would that money be taken from. Reinhardt asked if the quote was in writing and was told it was. Williamson said he is comfortable the money would come from a street fund. He asked if it was a • special assessment or do people expect such work to be done. Rockvam pointed out we would be special assessing 2 or 3 properties and the City pay 50% and he agrees with Williamson and we should set up a public hearing. Adolf said the state statute speaks to special assessments and a feasibility study was done by Goman to obtain costs. Rockvam asked if an answer was needed tonight. Williamson said we could authorize the work first and then go back through the hoops; we each would pay half and we would still have to do it legally. Beck said she would review the statute and report back to the Council. Williamson said he did not have a problem with costs; he just wanted to do it correctly. Hughes asked if it was acceptable to send a letter to property owners. Adolf said we could have the property owner waive a public hearing. Rockvam asked if there is a problem with the City paying for it and special assessing it later. Goman said he would have them fill in with class five gravel and start work at the north side first and if we delay the project costs may be higher. Beck said the Council could approve contingent upon the City attorney reviewing it. Goman stated there was an assessment in 1988 for the sidewalk. Rockvam pointed out the current property owners are not the ones that paid at that time. Friesen asked it the City has a special assessment policy and was told it does not. She said we have to publish for a special meeting three days ahead for considering special assessments, etc. • � Tom Seifert-Minutes June 5, 2006.doc Page 13 • Beck will research a legal way of working this out. She said assessing residents is setting a precedent; this is unusual circumstances and that can be used. Williamson asked if we can authorize this and establish an assessment procedure for i.e. $10,000 and above. Beck will check on that. Rockvam said we can hold off on making a decision until the meeting later this week. Mason asked if this is going to involve the property at 3946/48 Shoreline Drive and was told yes, they are going to be included in the curb and gutter on that side of Bayview Place. Williamson asked if the bid opening and decision on it were done on the same day. Adolf said there was a six day period in between. Hughes said he preferred a visual reference for the bids. 3. Evergreen Installation Spring St. & Shoreline Dr. Goman said a tree was removed in the southwest corner of Spring Street and Sunset Drive on Buttenhoffs property. Rockvam asked if he is agreeable to the City putting a tree there. Goman said he was and there is irrigation in that area. He said a proposal from Norling for a 7 foot Colorado blue spruce is $430. Williamson said he will give the City one from his yard. Hughes asked the probability of that tree living. Rockvam suggested getting a price on a larger one and on Williamson's tree from Norling. • e) Administrator 1. Channels 8 & 20 Schedules- Noted 2. Building & Sign Report May- Noted 3.

Rockvam said a Council meeting on July 5th does not work for him and asked if the Council would like to cancel it. Reinhardt said the meeting on 6/26 is scheduled when she is out of town and she would like to attend. Friesen said the • meeting is looking at what the City would look like in the future and they picked that date. She added Hennepin County received a grant to do this. She added that SRF and NAC are available on 6/26 and the moratorium meeting could take place on that night also.
