evening, Mayor and members of the Council. 124 00:05:36,810 --> 00:05:42,810 This is an item that we have been discussing 125 00:05:42,810 --> 00:05:44,050 since high as it goes. 126 00:05:44,050 --> 00:05:47,250 We've been discussing now for several months. 127 00:05:47,250 --> 00:05:51,250 The viaduct park internal loan was originally 128 00:05:51,250 --> 00:05:53,960 issued with estimates based on what 129 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,040 we believe the franchise fees would be coming 130 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,520 in for the Parkland fund. 131 00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,880 We have a couple of years of history 132 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:01,960 now showing that we are historically 133 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,640 getting about $560,000. 134 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,760 And so we're proposing extending the term of that loan 135 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:13,200 from 10 years to 15 years, so that the repayment schedule fits 136 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,280 those franchise fee receipts. 137 00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:21,080 I've also proposed reducing the terms of the interest rate 138 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:27,160 on that loan from 5% to 4.25% which is the highest interest 139 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,920 rate that we're receiving on any of the city investments 140 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:30,620 at this time. 141 00:06:30,620 --> 00:06:33,520 And that is what that loan could be invested 142 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,180 in the market at this time. 143 00:06:35,180 --> 00:06:38,320 144 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:38,820 Thank you. 145 00:06:38,820 --> 00:06:41,540 Mayor I believe you answered my question, 146 00:06:41,540 --> 00:06:44,200 but I was wondering about lowering the interest rate 147 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,920 but extending out the payback period. 148 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,320 That's just to lower the overall total payment. 149 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,140 Yeah, exactly. 150 00:06:51,140 --> 00:06:54,380 The recalculation exercise was really to say. 151 00:06:54,380 --> 00:06:57,940 The thing that we know is that we will have $560,000 152 00:06:57,940 --> 00:07:00,580 in franchise fees for debt service, 153 00:07:00,580 --> 00:07:02,380 and this is the schedule that allows 154 00:07:02,380 --> 00:07:06,100 us to make those payments. 155 00:07:06,100 --> 00:07:10,640 Do we have do we have any idea from the Parks Department. 156 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,900 I mean, will these assets last 15 years without us 157 00:07:15,900 --> 00:07:16,880 having to replace them. 158 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,000 The obviously the building let's assume that. 159 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,360 Well, but you the splash pad. 160 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:23,660 I mean, are we going to have to rebuild 161 00:07:23,660 --> 00:07:26,780 this thing in eight years, or. 162 00:07:26,780 --> 00:07:29,700 I just want to make sure our assets match there's going to be 163 00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:33,200 some components, but on a $6.3 million project, 164 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,620 you'll have some components that won't have 165 00:07:35,620 --> 00:07:37,980 a useful life that end up being capitalized 166 00:07:37,980 --> 00:07:39,200 as part of the project. 167 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,520 But the main components the construction, 168 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,100 the earthwork, the splash pad. 169 00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:49,020 Yeah, we're looking at I think building is 50 years on our. 170 00:07:49,020 --> 00:07:51,530 Yeah, the 50 on buildings but you and I 171 00:07:51,530 --> 00:07:55,810 think 20 on the recreation piece of it. 172 00:07:55,810 --> 00:07:58,210 And I see Mark in the back shaking his head. 173 00:07:58,210 --> 00:07:59,590 It shouldn't be a problem. 174 00:07:59,590 --> 00:08:01,790 The life of the assets satisfies me. 175 00:08:01,790 --> 00:08:03,410 Thank you. 176 00:08:03,410 --> 00:08:05,510 So the interest rate that you're proposing, 177 00:08:05,510 --> 00:08:07,910 that's the lowest we could go by law. 178 00:08:07,910 --> 00:08:10,030 Or is that just your recommendation. 179 00:08:10,030 --> 00:08:15,870 We could go lower, but when I. When I picked that rate, 180 00:08:15,870 --> 00:08:20,370 I picked the most recent bonds that we invested city assets 181 00:08:20,370 --> 00:08:22,950 into and matched that rate. 182 00:08:22,950 --> 00:08:26,210 So if we didn't have the loan from the sewer fund, 183 00:08:26,210 --> 00:08:29,170 I could get that loan. 184 00:08:29,170 --> 00:08:33,130 The sewer fund could get that return by investing in bonds. 185 00:08:33,130 --> 00:08:33,630 Got it. 186 00:08:33,630 --> 00:08:35,289 Thank you. 187 00:08:35,289 --> 00:08:37,950 Any other questions, Mayor Spooner. 188 00:08:37,950 --> 00:08:43,289 Yes I'll make a motion to approve resolution 2020 6-210. 189 00:08:43,289 --> 00:08:47,110 Second Motion by Ross, second by Vance Lewis. 190 00:08:47,110 --> 00:08:49,790 All those in favor of resolution 2020 six 191 00:08:49,790 --> 00:08:52,830 210 signify by saying Aye, Aye. 192 00:08:52,830 --> 00:09:01,010 Opposed passes on item B Calvary Hill Commons vacation, 193 00:09:01,010 --> 00:09:03,470 preliminary and final plat and variance planning 194 00:09:03,470 --> 00:09:06,230 manager Harry Davis. 195 00:09:06,230 --> 00:09:09,630 Thank you mayor, and good evening council. 196 00:09:09,630 --> 00:09:14,390 The project in front of you is for Calvary Hill Commons. 197 00:09:14,390 --> 00:09:18,750 It's at 3105 highway 60 West. 198 00:09:18,750 --> 00:09:21,650 The applicant is Tim Peterson. 199 00:09:21,650 --> 00:09:23,490 He's the surveyor on the project. 200 00:09:23,490 --> 00:09:29,390 On behalf of Jeff Jandreau of Jeff Jandreau properties LLC. 201 00:09:29,390 --> 00:09:34,170 The location it's approximately three 105 highway 60 West. 202 00:09:34,170 --> 00:09:37,190 It's where the soon to be old KGB 203 00:09:37,190 --> 00:09:44,870 office is in that area and surrounding Calvary cemetery. 204 00:09:44,870 --> 00:09:48,180 It's a preliminary and final plat, a right of way vacation 205 00:09:48,180 --> 00:09:50,820 and a variance. 206 00:09:50,820 --> 00:09:53,580 Here's where the property is in relation to different parts 207 00:09:53,580 --> 00:09:56,100 of Faribault. And then here's more of a 208 00:09:56,100 --> 00:10:00,460 zoomed in aerial of the property. 209 00:10:00,460 --> 00:10:05,540 So it does include what will soon be the old KGB office. 210 00:10:05,540 --> 00:10:07,580 But it includes a number of properties that 211 00:10:07,580 --> 00:10:11,860 have not yet been developed. 212 00:10:11,860 --> 00:10:14,180 The three requests in front of you, the first one 213 00:10:14,180 --> 00:10:16,740 is to vacate some existing, partially 214 00:10:16,740 --> 00:10:18,280 constructed right of way. 215 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,100 So Calvary drive is partially constructed 216 00:10:21,100 --> 00:10:24,500 as it goes past the cemetery, but it's not constructed going 217 00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:28,980 all the way to I-35, but it's right away goes all the way 218 00:10:28,980 --> 00:10:34,020 to I-35, so it would be vacating the right of way that's not 219 00:10:34,020 --> 00:10:36,580 used, which would then be replanted 220 00:10:36,580 --> 00:10:39,780 as a part of the preliminary and final plat process. 221 00:10:39,780 --> 00:10:45,420 So that part of the process does include replanting three parcels 222 00:10:45,420 --> 00:10:49,770 into five buildable lots, two stormwater lots, and then three 223 00:10:49,770 --> 00:10:52,450 lots for future development. 224 00:10:52,450 --> 00:10:57,270 And then the third proposal in front of you is for variance. 225 00:10:57,270 --> 00:11:05,770 So our maximum dead end street length for a new road is 650. 226 00:11:05,770 --> 00:11:08,930 They're asking for 2050 feet. 227 00:11:08,930 --> 00:11:14,610 So that variance is somewhere around 1,400 feet. 228 00:11:14,610 --> 00:11:16,390 Here's the vacation area. 229 00:11:16,390 --> 00:11:18,750 So it's constructed most of the way. 230 00:11:18,750 --> 00:11:23,250 It's just this last part, which will then be replanted 231 00:11:23,250 --> 00:11:25,690 into a new version of Calvary drive 232 00:11:25,690 --> 00:11:30,830 with the plat on the left hand side is the final plat. 233 00:11:30,830 --> 00:11:35,930 So all of the properties that are on the Northern, 234 00:11:35,930 --> 00:11:39,070 I would say half of this plat area, 235 00:11:39,070 --> 00:11:43,890 those are all either existing developed, particularly the soon 236 00:11:43,890 --> 00:11:47,550 to be old KGB office and then proposed to be developed 237 00:11:47,550 --> 00:11:49,450 as a part of this plot. 238 00:11:49,450 --> 00:11:54,950 This phase of the plot outlot C, outlot D, and outlot e. 239 00:11:54,950 --> 00:12:00,230 There's a weird part with outlot e where it actually leapfrogs 240 00:12:00,230 --> 00:12:04,710 I-35, and so that's actually on the other side 241 00:12:04,710 --> 00:12:05,730 of the interstate. 242 00:12:05,730 --> 00:12:08,470 So that will be an unbuildable lot 243 00:12:08,470 --> 00:12:11,830 until someone can buy it and bring it into their property 244 00:12:11,830 --> 00:12:13,390 as a part of their development. 245 00:12:13,390 --> 00:12:15,390 But outlet C and outlet D, those would 246 00:12:15,390 --> 00:12:20,110 be future phases of this Calvary Hill Commons area. 247 00:12:20,110 --> 00:12:24,030 On the right hand side is just how I'm measuring 248 00:12:24,030 --> 00:12:25,290 the variance distance. 249 00:12:25,290 --> 00:12:30,310 So it goes all the way from 38th all the way along Calvary drive 250 00:12:30,310 --> 00:12:34,130 to the proposed end of Calvary drive, 251 00:12:34,130 --> 00:12:37,250 where there will be a temporary turnaround in the future. 252 00:12:37,250 --> 00:12:39,910 The idea is that street would then be extended 253 00:12:39,910 --> 00:12:44,140 even further to go down South. 254 00:12:44,140 --> 00:12:47,740 So just trying to help you guys understand 255 00:12:47,740 --> 00:12:52,540 that in terms of the vacation, there are no issues with this. 256 00:12:52,540 --> 00:12:54,580 The road is going to be replanted. 257 00:12:54,580 --> 00:12:56,620 There are no concerns other than just making sure 258 00:12:56,620 --> 00:12:58,660 that some existing infrastructure ends up 259 00:12:58,660 --> 00:13:01,380 in a drainage and utility easement for 260 00:13:01,380 --> 00:13:02,760 the preliminary and final plat. 261 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,660 It does meet all of our requirements for zoning 262 00:13:05,660 --> 00:13:07,860 as well as the comprehensive plan. 263 00:13:07,860 --> 00:13:11,220 And then the variance itself. 264 00:13:11,220 --> 00:13:15,020 This actually has a practical difficulty 265 00:13:15,020 --> 00:13:16,560 for a street like this. 266 00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:19,940 Even on our comprehensive plan is as well as our highway 60 267 00:13:19,940 --> 00:13:23,220 master plan, we show a connection of Calvary 268 00:13:23,220 --> 00:13:26,700 drive going through the properties 269 00:13:26,700 --> 00:13:29,740 where it's proposed today, going all the way to the South 270 00:13:29,740 --> 00:13:33,580 and eventually coming to a second connection point 271 00:13:33,580 --> 00:13:37,740 either just a little bit further down into the Southeast 272 00:13:37,740 --> 00:13:42,940 or going all the way out to the far West. 273 00:13:42,940 --> 00:13:46,580 So this is as expected. 274 00:13:46,580 --> 00:13:48,000 It's on our comprehensive plan, as well 275 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,320 as well as our master plan. 276 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,540 The fire chief does support the variance. 277 00:13:52,540 --> 00:13:53,460 He doesn't feel like that. 278 00:13:53,460 --> 00:13:57,040 There will be any concerns providing emergency services 279 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,360 to the end of the street. 280 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,700 So at least from staff's point of view, 281 00:14:01,700 --> 00:14:04,260 it does meet our comprehensive plan and zoning requirements. 282 00:14:04,260 --> 00:14:06,700 The planning commission did vote unanimously in support. 283 00:14:06,700 --> 00:14:09,000 And there was no public comment at the planning 284 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,920 commission meeting. 285 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,000 So the three items in front of you, the first one 286 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,540 is to recommend approval of the ordinance. 287 00:14:18,540 --> 00:14:20,600 So that would be the vacation. 288 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,080 Second one would be the resolution to approve 289 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,000 the preliminary and final plat. 290 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,640 And then the last one would be a resolution 291 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,360 to approve the variance. 292 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,920 With that, I'm happy to take questions. 293 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,560 Thank you mayor. 294 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,060 The road concerning the variance. 295 00:14:39,060 --> 00:14:41,500 That's going to be a public road, not a private road. 296 00:14:41,500 --> 00:14:42,150 Is that correct. 297 00:14:42,150 --> 00:14:42,930 Correct OK. 298 00:14:42,930 --> 00:14:43,570 Thank you. 299 00:14:43,570 --> 00:14:44,150 That's it. 300 00:14:44,150 --> 00:14:45,550 That's what's up. 301 00:14:45,550 --> 00:14:48,510 What's the reasoning for the standard 650 302 00:14:48,510 --> 00:14:50,670 for a dead end road. 303 00:14:50,670 --> 00:14:51,990 Why is that. 304 00:14:51,990 --> 00:14:56,110 That length chosen by default. So you're asking 305 00:14:56,110 --> 00:14:59,010 why is it limited to 650ft? 306 00:14:59,010 --> 00:15:04,450 Yeah so there are a number of things that get baked into that. 307 00:15:04,450 --> 00:15:07,670 Part of that is the idea that if you had a number of lots that 308 00:15:07,670 --> 00:15:09,390 were on a dead end street, there's 309 00:15:09,390 --> 00:15:14,390 a maximum in terms of fire code where they feel comfortable. 310 00:15:14,390 --> 00:15:18,270 I've seen fire Chiefs say anywhere between 30 and 40 lots. 311 00:15:18,270 --> 00:15:21,830 If you have a 650 foot long road would be able to fit a bunch 312 00:15:21,830 --> 00:15:25,390 of residential lots on that. 313 00:15:25,390 --> 00:15:28,430 And so you might get close to 30 fire code 314 00:15:28,430 --> 00:15:29,730 would then kick in anyway. 315 00:15:29,730 --> 00:15:32,110 But really, I think what I'm trying 316 00:15:32,110 --> 00:15:35,790 to get at is that the 650 is pretty close to what we would 317 00:15:35,790 --> 00:15:38,530 imagine would be the limitations, 318 00:15:38,530 --> 00:15:42,690 anyway, of what fire code would say is, any more than this. 319 00:15:42,690 --> 00:15:43,670 It's not safe. 320 00:15:43,670 --> 00:15:47,470 We don't feel like, from the fire department's standpoint, 321 00:15:47,470 --> 00:15:49,810 that they can easily get back there in case 322 00:15:49,810 --> 00:15:51,690 there was an emergency. 323 00:15:51,690 --> 00:15:53,810 And is there going to be a cul-de-sac or a turnaround 324 00:15:53,810 --> 00:15:55,230 point at the end of the road. 325 00:15:55,230 --> 00:15:57,370 There will be a temporary one, and then eventually 326 00:15:57,370 --> 00:15:59,550 in future phases where they'll extend it, 327 00:15:59,550 --> 00:16:02,410 they'll end up being probably another temporary one 328 00:16:02,410 --> 00:16:06,570 until the rest of that highway 60 master plan area on the South 329 00:16:06,570 --> 00:16:08,050 side can be built out. 330 00:16:08,050 --> 00:16:09,930 OK thank you. 331 00:16:09,930 --> 00:16:13,290 So this is just going to be conventional housing, not 332 00:16:13,290 --> 00:16:15,010 high density. 333 00:16:15,010 --> 00:16:17,230 No and I do apologize. 334 00:16:17,230 --> 00:16:19,350 This is a commercial and industrial subdivision. 335 00:16:19,350 --> 00:16:22,170 So this is in compliance with our comprehensive plan 336 00:16:22,170 --> 00:16:24,570 and our highway 60 master plan, which 337 00:16:24,570 --> 00:16:28,930 both identify industrial and commercial in this location. 338 00:16:28,930 --> 00:16:30,430 Do we know what his intent is. 339 00:16:30,430 --> 00:16:35,530 Are we going to get yet another place to put storage units. 340 00:16:35,530 --> 00:16:39,720 I think the initial uses that are interested in this area 341 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,340 would one of them would be car sales. 342 00:16:43,340 --> 00:16:45,240 And I think another one would be a hotel. 343 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,040 I believe the applicant is here and can speak to some 344 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,780 of the intent behind having the subdivision now, 345 00:16:51,780 --> 00:16:54,860 but those are some of the initial uses that I know of. 346 00:16:54,860 --> 00:16:55,940 All right. 347 00:16:55,940 --> 00:16:56,580 I'm good with that. 348 00:16:56,580 --> 00:16:58,680 Thank you. 349 00:16:58,680 --> 00:16:59,420 Anyone else. 350 00:16:59,420 --> 00:17:02,160 351 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,020 Mayor Spooner. 352 00:17:03,020 --> 00:17:08,480 Yeah I'll make a motion to approve ordinance 2020 6-10. 353 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,780 Second Motion by Ross. 354 00:17:10,780 --> 00:17:11,660 Second by Barnes. 355 00:17:11,660 --> 00:17:15,480 This is an ordinance and will require a roll call. 356 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:16,020 Council Member. 357 00:17:16,020 --> 00:17:17,359 Barnes Aye. 358 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:18,460 Aye Ross. 359

00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,740 Resolution 2020 6-2 11. 364 00:17:27,740 --> 00:17:29,840 Preliminary and final plots. 365 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,280 Mayor Spooner, I make a motion to approve 366 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,880 resolution 2020 6-211 second. 367 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,330 Motion written by Vance Lewis, second by Barnes. 368 00:17:40,330 --> 00:17:42,790 All in favor of the resolution signify by saying Aye. 369 00:17:42,790 --> 00:17:45,030 Aye all opposed. 370 00:17:45,030 --> 00:17:46,610 Resolutions passed. 371 00:17:46,610 --> 00:17:51,510 Resolution 2020 6-212. 372 00:17:51,510 --> 00:17:57,710 Yes make a motion to approve resolution 2026 212. 373 00:17:57,710 --> 00:18:00,850 Second Motion by second by Barnes. 374 00:18:00,850 --> 00:18:02,150 All those in favor of the resolution 375 00:18:02,150 --> 00:18:03,530 signify by saying Aye. 376 00:18:03,530 --> 00:18:05,630 Aye all opposed. 377 00:18:05,630 --> 00:18:08,570 That motion is also passed on item C, 378 00:18:08,570 --> 00:18:14,350 resolution 2020 6-213 approval of a conditional use permit. 379 00:18:14,350 --> 00:18:15,950 Once again Harry Davis. 380 00:18:15,950 --> 00:18:17,670 Thank you, Mayor and council. 381 00:18:17,670 --> 00:18:19,390 So this next item in front of you 382 00:18:19,390 --> 00:18:21,470 is for a residential care facility 383 00:18:21,470 --> 00:18:24,590 at 3015 cardinal Avenue. 384 00:18:24,590 --> 00:18:26,690 So the applicant for this is Michael McCue. 385 00:18:26,690 --> 00:18:29,750 And this is on behalf of Midwest recovery. 386 00:18:29,750 --> 00:18:32,130 With the consent of the property owner, 387 00:18:32,130 --> 00:18:35,230 Patrick Cashin or Rick Cashin. 388 00:18:35,230 --> 00:18:38,190 Again, the location is 3015. 389 00:18:38,190 --> 00:18:39,510 I apologize for the typo there. 390 00:18:39,510 --> 00:18:42,050 Cardinal Avenue, and it's a residential care 391 00:18:42,050 --> 00:18:45,730 facility for 32 patients. 392 00:18:45,730 --> 00:18:47,410 Here's where the property is in relation 393 00:18:47,410 --> 00:18:52,290 to different parts of Faribault. So it's the Northern interchange 394 00:18:52,290 --> 00:18:55,530 for I-35. 395 00:18:55,530 --> 00:18:57,390 Here's the property in an aerial. 396 00:18:57,390 --> 00:19:00,070 So of the two apartment complexes, 397 00:19:00,070 --> 00:19:01,770 if you were to visit it today, it's 398 00:19:01,770 --> 00:19:04,770 the Northern apartment complex that is proposed to be 399 00:19:04,770 --> 00:19:07,290 this residential care facility. 400 00:19:07,290 --> 00:19:10,090 The apartment complex was built very recently 401 00:19:10,090 --> 00:19:14,730 within the past three years, I believe. 402 00:19:14,730 --> 00:19:17,170 And so the request by the applicant 403 00:19:17,170 --> 00:19:20,650 is to allow a 32 patient residential care 404 00:19:20,650 --> 00:19:23,810 facility for Midwest recovery. 405 00:19:23,810 --> 00:19:29,370 They have addiction recovery services, 406 00:19:29,370 --> 00:19:33,530 and this would be an existing multi-family structure. 407 00:19:33,530 --> 00:19:37,540 It should be noted that as a part of this request. 408 00:19:37,540 --> 00:19:40,000 They're only asking for this now just because there 409 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,760 are changes at the state level. 410 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,560 They have actually been using this location as a residence 411 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,520 for their patients for the last two years 412 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:53,160 without really any complaints from staff's knowledge. 413 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,920 The just changes in terms of rules at the state level 414 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,620 that now require them to get this conditional use permit. 415 00:20:00,620 --> 00:20:05,480 So that's just some context within the broader discussion 416 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:12,240 here is actually the site plan that was approved for what was 417 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,160 then a multifamily structure, what is now proposed to be 418 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,240 the residential care facility. 419 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:22,020 They do have adequate parking for this particular use. 420 00:20:22,020 --> 00:20:24,460 None of the patients will have their own cars. 421 00:20:24,460 --> 00:20:27,960 That will be a policy and it can be a condition as a part 422 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,680 of this conditional use permit. 423 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,680 But really they have adequate parking. 424 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,340 They do plan to share some garbage facilities 425 00:20:37,340 --> 00:20:39,380 with the adjoining property, which 426 00:20:39,380 --> 00:20:42,620 is also owned by Rick Cashin. 427 00:20:42,620 --> 00:20:45,300 And then here's the proposed project. 428 00:20:45,300 --> 00:20:46,980 Both in terms of what it was proposed, 429 00:20:46,980 --> 00:20:49,740 in terms of the elevation and then what it would be, 430 00:20:49,740 --> 00:20:51,860 what it is today. 431 00:20:51,860 --> 00:20:55,440 No changes proposed to the outside of the structure, 432 00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:00,260 so it will remain in, for all intents and purposes. 433 00:21:00,260 --> 00:21:03,060 In terms of appearance, it will remain as a multifamily 434 00:21:03,060 --> 00:21:06,260 looking structure. 435 00:21:06,260 --> 00:21:08,840 The conditional use permit from staff's point of view, 436 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,740 we do feel like that this actually 437 00:21:11,740 --> 00:21:16,120 does meet our zoning and comprehensive plan requirements. 438 00:21:16,120 --> 00:21:17,740 There's adequate parking. 439 00:21:17,740 --> 00:21:22,340 They are dealing with trash, and we've had no complaints 440 00:21:22,340 --> 00:21:24,580 on this particular use since they've 441 00:21:24,580 --> 00:21:26,660 moved in about two years ago. 442 00:21:26,660 --> 00:21:29,100 So we do feel like it meets the comprehensive plan 443 00:21:29,100 --> 00:21:30,200 and our zoning requirements. 444 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,180 And the planning commission did vote unanimously 445 00:21:32,180 --> 00:21:34,410 to support the project. 446 00:21:34,410 --> 00:21:38,570 No public comment was received at that time. 447 00:21:38,570 --> 00:21:42,370 And the only recommendation or the only motion today 448 00:21:42,370 --> 00:21:44,570 would be the resolution to approve 449 00:21:44,570 --> 00:21:46,570 the requested conditional use permit. 450 00:21:46,570 --> 00:21:48,770 And with that, I'm happy to take questions. 451 00:21:48,770 --> 00:21:50,210 Any questions. 452 00:21:50,210 --> 00:21:58,330 No no arms Mr. Davis, thank you. 453 00:21:58,330 --> 00:21:59,590 Was I reading this correctly. 454 00:21:59,590 --> 00:22:01,730 It looked like the clientele numbers were actually 455 00:22:01,730 --> 00:22:02,630 were going down. 456 00:22:02,630 --> 00:22:03,790 And if that. 457 00:22:03,790 --> 00:22:08,810 So was that based on the new state ordinance that the state 458 00:22:08,810 --> 00:22:16,770 had passed Mr. mayor, I'm not an expert in terms of the state 459 00:22:16,770 --> 00:22:19,530 laws regarding residential care facilities 460 00:22:19,530 --> 00:22:22,230 so I don't know if that's a requirement from that. 461 00:22:22,230 --> 00:22:25,690 I know that there was a lot of discussion initially, 462 00:22:25,690 --> 00:22:28,650 trying to make sure that they had adequate parking 463 00:22:28,650 --> 00:22:30,730 for this use at this location. 464 00:22:30,730 --> 00:22:33,800 And so I think that them actually reducing 465 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:38,560 the number of patients on site is probably trying to make sure 466 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,640 they can accommodate additional parking if they need it. 467 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,400 Without trying to impact or without resulting 468 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,400 in some sort of impact on that multifamily structure 469 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,180 to the South. 470 00:22:49,180 --> 00:22:51,520 And that's where I was confused, because it 471 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,520 sounds like the clientele aren't allowed to have vehicles. 472 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,440 So I just needed clarity on that. 473 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,720 The copy that the state ordinance had passed, 474 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,840 I was reading that there's certain things the city then 475 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,040 will be allowed to do, such as the city 476 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,780 could stop in and do an inspection. 477 00:23:10,780 --> 00:23:12,740 Or if there was a planning concern, 478 00:23:12,740 --> 00:23:15,060 we could freely go to that property, 479 00:23:15,060 --> 00:23:18,380 not necessarily in it, but to the property and look at it. 480 00:23:18,380 --> 00:23:20,920 481 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,060 Do you know how long the cap will be. 482 00:23:23,060 --> 00:23:25,040 Is this a one year or a two year. 483 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,040 So this conditional use permit that we're granting here 484 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,280 would actually run with the land as long 485 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:35,100 as this use is at the property. 486 00:23:35,100 --> 00:23:39,120 As soon as the use goes away, say Midwest recovery decides, 487 00:23:39,120 --> 00:23:40,940 hey, we're going to pull our people out 488 00:23:40,940 --> 00:23:42,960 and we're going to move to a different location. 489 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,560 And then it goes back to say, being a multi-family structure. 490 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,060 Then they would lose that conditional use 491 00:23:48,060 --> 00:23:49,660 permit at that time because it would 492 00:23:49,660 --> 00:23:51,740 switch back to a permitted use. 493 00:23:51,740 --> 00:23:56,580 So this runs with the land in terms of the licensing 494 00:23:56,580 --> 00:23:57,880 requirements from the state. 495 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,480 Again, I'm not an expert. 496 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:04,020 I don't know if they have people check in every year. 497 00:24:04,020 --> 00:24:07,860 My thought is that they probably do. 498 00:24:07,860 --> 00:24:09,260 Thank you for the clarity. 499 00:24:09,260 --> 00:24:11,800 It sounds like there will be potential expansion, 500 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:12,880 which is great. 501 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,420 So thank you. 502 00:24:15,420 --> 00:24:17,280 Anyone else, Mr. Davis. 503 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,000 Didn't we actually approve this. 504 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,320 Across the street, like four years ago. 505 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:27,220 And due to finances, they found this building and not correct. 506 00:24:27,220 --> 00:24:28,640 Yes, yes. 507 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:29,890 Very similar. 508 00:24:29,890 --> 00:24:30,510 All right. 509 00:24:30,510 --> 00:24:32,890 Thank you. 510 00:24:32,890 --> 00:24:34,470 At this time, I'll entertain a motion, 511 00:24:34,470 --> 00:24:36,650 Mayor Spooner, and make a motion to approve 512 00:24:36,650 --> 00:24:39,890 resolution 2020 6-2 13. 513 00:24:39,890 --> 00:24:43,170 Second Motion by Barnes, seconded by van 514 00:24:43,170 --> 00:24:46,850 sluice on resolution 2026. 515 00:24:46,850 --> 00:24:48,290 Signify by saying Aye. 516 00:24:48,290 --> 00:24:50,530 Aye all opposed. 517 00:24:50,530 --> 00:24:54,710 Passes resolution 2026 214. 518 00:24:54,710 --> 00:24:56,550 Approval of a variance. 519 00:24:56,550 --> 00:25:00,050 Once again, Harry Davis, this is your night. 520 00:25:00,050 --> 00:25:03,530 I promise this is the last time. 521 00:25:03,530 --> 00:25:04,950 Thank you, Mayor and council. 522 00:25:04,950 --> 00:25:08,010 So this proposal in front of you is 523 00:25:08,010 --> 00:25:11,650 actually for a fence variance. 524 00:25:11,650 --> 00:25:13,870 The owner of the property is jennie-o turkey store. 525 00:25:13,870 --> 00:25:16,990 So this is going around their property. 526 00:25:16,990 --> 00:25:21,090 And the applicant is Michael stabin on their behalf. 527 00:25:21,090 --> 00:25:23,070 It's the turkey store. 528 00:25:23,070 --> 00:25:26,050 I'm not going to go into exactly where that is. 529 00:25:26,050 --> 00:25:29,910 Here's the location map in relation 530 00:25:29,910 --> 00:25:34,370 to different parts of Faribault. Here's the property in question. 531 00:25:34,370 --> 00:25:37,710 And so the request by the applicant 532 00:25:37,710 --> 00:25:43,630 is to actually have a 8 foot tall fence that would go up 533 00:25:43,630 --> 00:25:45,630 to the property line, but then all 534 00:25:45,630 --> 00:25:49,150 around the entire three parcels that you see 535 00:25:49,150 --> 00:25:54,630 are highlighted on this image. 536 00:25:54,630 --> 00:25:59,230 The requirement within code is that if you are in a front 537 00:25:59,230 --> 00:26:04,430 setback with your fence, even in an industrial setting, you 538 00:26:04,430 --> 00:26:07,070 cannot be higher than 4 feet. 539 00:26:07,070 --> 00:26:11,350 So the variance would actually be for four feet 540 00:26:11,350 --> 00:26:14,670 to go up to 8 feet. 541 00:26:14,670 --> 00:26:17,590 Here's the area that I've determined 542 00:26:17,590 --> 00:26:21,230 would actually be the front of the property. 543 00:26:21,230 --> 00:26:25,710 This is a weird property in terms of it 544 00:26:25,710 --> 00:26:29,180 has maybe what you might consider a few different parts 545 00:26:29,180 --> 00:26:30,160 where you would enter it. 546 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,300 What could be fronts. 547 00:26:32,300 --> 00:26:36,220 But this is, in staff's perspective, 548 00:26:36,220 --> 00:26:38,360 the interpretation as to what would be the front, 549 00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:42,020 and it would be along 7 Avenue as a kind of snakes 550 00:26:42,020 --> 00:26:45,100 past South Alexander Park. 551 00:26:45,100 --> 00:26:48,540 And then as it connects to 13th Street Northwest, it 552 00:26:48,540 --> 00:26:52,540 would be that entire frontage. 553 00:26:52,540 --> 00:26:55,560 Here's what the fence would look like in different sections. 554 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,460 So on the left would be the primary fence that you would see 555 00:26:59,460 --> 00:27:01,740 go around most of the property. 556 00:27:01,740 --> 00:27:05,540 It would be utilizing these slats that would 557 00:27:05,540 --> 00:27:08,100 go within the chain link fence. 558 00:27:08,100 --> 00:27:13,300 That's more of a concern regarding 559 00:27:13,300 --> 00:27:18,020 just the stateliness of frankly, processing 560 00:27:18,020 --> 00:27:20,820 animals for consumption. 561 00:27:20,820 --> 00:27:24,400 That's their consideration in terms of having those slots. 562 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,010 The other part of it is it's actually safety and security. 563 00:27:28,010 --> 00:27:31,730 The fence by itself is supposed to be addressing 564 00:27:31,730 --> 00:27:36,670 safety and security for the facility, 565 00:27:36,670 --> 00:27:40,330 as well as a requirement from the FDA. 566 00:27:40,330 --> 00:27:42,790 On the right hand side is actually, 567 00:27:42,790 --> 00:27:47,830 as you get farther along towards the West, there is floodplain. 568 00:27:47,830 --> 00:27:52,730 And we've determined that through engineering review 569 00:27:52,730 --> 00:27:55,910 with concurrence from the city engineer, 570 00:27:55,910 --> 00:27:59,730 that having a chain link fence does 571 00:27:59,730 --> 00:28:02,990 not constrict any water flows. 572 00:28:02,990 --> 00:28:05,970 So in the case that there could be 573 00:28:05,970 --> 00:28:09,850 any flooding in this area within that floodplain, 574 00:28:09,850 --> 00:28:12,030 the fence would not restrict anything. 575 00:28:12,030 --> 00:28:16,330 So that deals with some worries that the DNR had 576 00:28:16,330 --> 00:28:18,270 about this particular variance. 577 00:28:18,270 --> 00:28:21,090 578 00:28:21,090 --> 00:28:23,210 We do think that this request does demonstrate 579 00:28:23,210 --> 00:28:24,990 practical difficulty. 580 00:28:24,990 --> 00:28:27,470 It's a piece of critical infrastructure, food 581 00:28:27,470 --> 00:28:30,230 infrastructure for the nation. 582 00:28:30,230 --> 00:28:34,230 The FDA does mandate that there be some security and safety 583 00:28:34,230 --> 00:28:37,090 for infrastructure like this. 584 00:28:37,090 --> 00:28:40,270 So we do completely understand why having the fence 585 00:28:40,270 --> 00:28:43,110 is necessary. 586 00:28:43,110 --> 00:28:45,310 There are limitations to the site itself 587 00:28:45,310 --> 00:28:47,450 where if they were to set it back, 588 00:28:47,450 --> 00:28:49,790 it would cause some issues. 589 00:28:49,790 --> 00:28:51,590 Putting a fence in the middle of their parking lot 590 00:28:51,590 --> 00:28:54,870 doesn't really make sense. 591 00:28:54,870 --> 00:28:57,810 So we do feel like having a fenced in property, 592 00:28:57,810 --> 00:28:59,830 even all the way to the property line, 593 00:28:59,830 --> 00:29:02,710 makes sense for a industrial use. 594 00:29:02,710 --> 00:29:04,350 So from staff's point of view, we 595 00:29:04,350 --> 00:29:06,550 do feel like it meets our comprehensive plan 596 00:29:06,550 --> 00:29:08,790 and zoning requirements. 597 00:29:08,790 --> 00:29:12,150 Planning commission did vote four to 2 598 00:29:12,150 --> 00:29:13,870 in support of the request. 599 00:29:13,870 --> 00:29:17,450 Those that dissented wanted to see a more decorative fence, 600 00:29:17,450 --> 00:29:23,340 particularly when it becomes adjacent to South Alexander Park 601 00:29:23,340 --> 00:29:26,020 as well as when it gets a little bit closer to the homes 602 00:29:26,020 --> 00:29:27,740 on the North side. 603 00:29:27,740 --> 00:29:31,180 We did not receive any public comment at the meeting 604 00:29:31,180 --> 00:29:33,700 or before then. 605 00:29:33,700 --> 00:29:37,340 With that, staff, and the planning commission 606 00:29:37,340 --> 00:29:39,980 recommend that city council approve the resolution 607 00:29:39,980 --> 00:29:41,620 for this variance. 608 00:29:41,620 --> 00:29:44,900 And with that, I'm happy to answer questions, Mr. Owen. 609 00:29:44,900 --> 00:29:46,840 I fully support this. 610 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,460 We went through quite the battle in 2016 and 2017 611 00:29:50,460 --> 00:29:54,900 to get the South side of this buttoned up 612 00:29:54,900 --> 00:29:57,420 like they agreed to in 1988, and decided 613 00:29:57,420 --> 00:30:00,620 not to do until we said do it. 614 00:30:00,620 --> 00:30:02,067 So this is good. 615 00:30:02,067 --> 00:30:03,700 This is something that the homeowners in the area 616 00:30:03,700 --> 00:30:05,080 wanted for a long time. 617 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,660 I applaud staff for getting it done. 618 00:30:08,660 --> 00:30:09,240 Anyone else. 619 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,300 Barnes yeah Mr. Davis. 620 00:30:11,300 --> 00:30:13,860 I did see the two planning commissioners 621 00:30:13,860 --> 00:30:16,560 that suggested the privacy fence, and I respect that. 622 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,920 I absolutely understand where they were going with it. 623 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,920 But the more and you touched on it, the more I thought about it. 624 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,280 If there is a flood, a privacy fence isn't going to make it. 625 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,720 And it's also good for airflow to have that chain link fence. 626 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,360 My question is typically when there's 627 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,360 those plastic slats for privacy, they 628 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,720 get real junky very quickly. 629 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,060 If they break, if they snap off, if they need replacement, 630 00:30:41,060 --> 00:30:43,480 most times you don't see that being done. 631 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,780 Is there any way that we can hold that accountable. 632 00:30:45,780 --> 00:30:48,280 Or would that be an ordinance or what would that 633 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:55,160 be Mr. mayor, so the screening is something 634 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:56,960 that they have offered. 635 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,080 Generally we do require screening 636 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,800 between industrial properties and residential properties. 637 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:07,440 So we might be able to say, at least in the cases where it's 638 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,740 across the street from residential properties, 639 00:31:09,740 --> 00:31:11,840 that hey, you need to maintain your screening. 640 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,440 So there are provisions within code. 641 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,240 The other part that I might look at 642 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,400 would actually be code compliance, making sure 643 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,460 that your fence is well maintained, 644 00:31:20,460 --> 00:31:23,770 which is a requirement under our codes. 645 00:31:23,770 --> 00:31:25,950 So I think that there are probably two ways 646 00:31:25,950 --> 00:31:29,350 that we can approach it, whether it's screening for adjacent uses 647 00:31:29,350 --> 00:31:32,610 or making sure that your property is well maintained. 648 00:31:32,610 --> 00:31:35,490 If we were to do a provision within the code, 649 00:31:35,490 --> 00:31:38,750 is that something we can do today. 650 00:31:38,750 --> 00:31:42,110 Stipulation you mean like a condition 651 00:31:42,110 --> 00:31:46,250 instead of code enforcement having them do this. 652 00:31:46,250 --> 00:31:50,790 Just having that stipulation put in. 653 00:31:50,790 --> 00:31:54,430 Yeah, I could see a condition of approval perhaps 654 00:31:54,430 --> 00:31:57,750 being added to the resolution. 655 00:31:57,750 --> 00:32:01,090 I think maybe at that point, I would wonder, 656 00:32:01,090 --> 00:32:04,310 do we need to go back as staff to add it 657 00:32:04,310 --> 00:32:07,230 in there to make sure that the language is 658 00:32:07,230 --> 00:32:09,970 correct before we move forward. 659 00:32:09,970 --> 00:32:13,270 660 00:32:13,270 --> 00:32:15,950 If we have a good understanding, the council 661 00:32:15,950 --> 00:32:17,450 understands what you're putting in, 662 00:32:17,450 --> 00:32:19,050 that would be fine to do it right now. 663 00:32:19,050 --> 00:32:21,400 We need approval. 664 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,460 Or how does that work. 665 00:32:23,460 --> 00:32:25,740 Motion make it in your motion. 666 00:32:25,740 --> 00:32:29,180 I make a motion to amend resolution 667 00:32:29,180 --> 00:32:34,480 2020 6-2 14 to include the provision to the code. 668 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,180 Is that how you want me to word it. 669 00:32:38,180 --> 00:32:39,640 You can state the sentence. 670 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,940 State what you state what you would like to state what you'd 671 00:32:42,940 --> 00:32:47,140 like to have in this to include that the slats 672 00:32:47,140 --> 00:32:51,580 remain clean and orderly condition to the fence. 673 00:32:51,580 --> 00:32:53,620 OK I'll second. 674 00:32:53,620 --> 00:32:54,160 All right. 675 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,740 Motion by Mark a question. 676 00:32:58,740 --> 00:33:00,320 No, I'm just making a statement. 677 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,240 I think I would vote no on her motion. 678 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,140 The way she has worded it, I don't 679 00:33:05,140 --> 00:33:10,100 feel that is an advantage moving it into a specific property as 680 00:33:10,100 --> 00:33:12,260 opposed to just keeping it in our ordinance 681 00:33:12,260 --> 00:33:16,140 when we have two means through our ordinances 682 00:33:16,140 --> 00:33:17,520 of enforcing this. 683 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,680 684 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:26,580 So this property has a history, a documented history. 685 00:33:26,580 --> 00:33:28,040 If you go back and look at the old city 686 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,000 council meetings of agreeing to things 687 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,840 and not following through. 688 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,420 So I don't think her point is ill advised. 689 00:33:37,420 --> 00:33:41,320 690 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,840 And if I may, and I also I don't know 691 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,640 what that meant, but go ahead. 692 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:47,140 Thank you. 693 00:33:47,140 --> 00:33:49,240 I agree with Mr. Rowan. 694 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,040 And also I think code compliance or code ordinance 695 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,460 sometimes is inundated. 696 00:33:54,460 --> 00:33:55,620 We aren't able to keep up. 697 00:33:55,620 --> 00:33:57,860 And plus we're hiring that out of house. 698 00:33:57,860 --> 00:33:59,760 It's not in-house service right now 699 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,640 so it'll just add to the cost. 700 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,340 This will keep them accountable. 701 00:34:03,340 --> 00:34:05,880 It's in the contract. 702 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,980 It's an easy thing in my mind. 703 00:34:07,980 --> 00:34:10,560 704 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:11,920 At the end. 705 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,880 No, I mean, I think you are part of those discussions 706 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,350 when we had all that issue. 707 00:34:18,350 --> 00:34:19,929 So do you understand what she's saying. 708 00:34:19,929 --> 00:34:21,909 She's just simply saying, look, instead of tying up 709 00:34:21,909 --> 00:34:24,510 all the staff time, we'll just make it a stipulation 710 00:34:24,510 --> 00:34:27,310 of this approval process. 711 00:34:27,310 --> 00:34:29,130 No, I fully understand her. 712 00:34:29,130 --> 00:34:29,850 Her intent. 713 00:34:29,850 --> 00:34:34,770 And her intent is well intended. 714 00:34:34,770 --> 00:34:35,730 Let's put it that way. 715 00:34:35,730 --> 00:34:41,650 I just feel that it's covered through our ordinances, 716 00:34:41,650 --> 00:34:47,150 and we don't need to add it to a specific resolution. 717 00:34:47,150 --> 00:34:50,010 But I don't and I want to just make that statement. 718 00:34:50,010 --> 00:34:52,550 So that when I vote no, I mean, I have a feeling 719 00:34:52,550 --> 00:34:54,070 it's going to approve anyway. 720 00:34:54,070 --> 00:34:57,150 But if it doesn't, my approval, my disapproval 721 00:34:57,150 --> 00:35:00,170 is only based on her changes to this resolution. 722 00:35:00,170 --> 00:35:03,810 And I would like to see it come back if that were to happen. 723 00:35:03,810 --> 00:35:05,170 But I don't think it's going to. 724 00:35:05,170 --> 00:35:08,350 725 00:35:08,350 --> 00:35:13,790 I think it would be easier if we are removing wordings 726 00:35:13,790 --> 00:35:20,650 from the ordinance, then, putting in a fresh sentence, 727 00:35:20,650 --> 00:35:24,130 because we already went through this before coming here 728 00:35:24,130 --> 00:35:28,290 and trying to inject. 729 00:35:28,290 --> 00:35:34,290 I think that's kind of a little bit complicated. 730 00:35:34,290 --> 00:35:36,390 When you say we already went through this, 731 00:35:36,390 --> 00:35:39,930 do you mean like, no, like reading 732 00:35:39,930 --> 00:35:43,050 the package before coming for a meeting and. 733 00:35:43,050 --> 00:35:46,350 Yeah, but this is coming from the planning committee, 734 00:35:46,350 --> 00:35:50,070 and it's reaching us now, so it's our turn to vote on it. 735 00:35:50,070 --> 00:35:53,890 So what's the specific sentence that you want to be 736 00:35:53,890 --> 00:35:55,150 and where it should be. 737 00:35:55,150 --> 00:35:59,190 Under which paragraph you want it to be injected. 738 00:35:59,190 --> 00:36:04,290 That's above my pay grade, but I would suggest that it be added. 739 00:36:04,290 --> 00:36:07,330 Just to be clear, what we have here is 740 00:36:07,330 --> 00:36:09,810 a variance from feet to feet. 741 00:36:09,810 --> 00:36:15,120 You added a stipulation to just say that it's got to be kept up. 742 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,320 Correct I mean, that's in the ordinance. 743 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:19,640 I'm going to vote in favor of this 744 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,400 just because I don't want to stall this out and just 745 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,520 have a simple fence that one of our major businesses in town 746 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,740 brought forward, and they proposed this. 747 00:36:27,740 --> 00:36:29,040 So I'm going to vote in favor because I 748 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,640 hate to see this go down. 749 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,840 And then we start from scratch. 750 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:39,040 So yes, it would go in section 2 is item four. 751 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,600 OK OK. 752 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,960 Yeah then I'm in favor. 753 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,120 Yeah so, Mr. Ross, I certainly understand 754 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,540 where you're coming from too, but I'm a simple fence. 755 00:36:48,540 --> 00:36:52,920 Variance is a lot here. 756 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,520 OK I have a motion by Barnes, second by Rowan, 757 00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:00,760 with the agenda of keeping it up and shape. 758 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,800 All those in favor, signify by saying Aye. 759 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,300 Aye All opposed. 760 00:37:04,300 --> 00:37:07,600 Nay motion passes. 761 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,720 Thank you. 762 00:37:09,720 --> 00:37:15,300 Resolution 2020 2 0 order improvements 763 00:37:15,300 --> 00:37:18,860 and plans for Citywide tree removal program. 764 00:37:18,860 --> 00:37:20,567 Marc Duchene, Director of engineering. 765 00:37:20,567 --> 00:37:21,400 Thank you, Mayor Spooner. 766 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:22,980 Members of the Council. 767 00:37:22,980 --> 00:37:24,800 Yeah I want to clarify. 768 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:25,840 I agree with you. 769 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,220 I think that's what I was wondering. 770 00:37:27,220 --> 00:37:31,520 So council member Barnes made a motion to amend the resolution. 771 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,300 Now you need to vote on the resolution as amended. 772 00:37:34,300 --> 00:37:35,000 Oh, OK. 773 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,560 I think that makes the most sense. 774 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,420 Yep it could be read both ways, but I 775 00:37:38,420 --> 00:37:40,740 think the city administrator is correct on that. 776 00:37:40,740 --> 00:37:44,420 Yeah, we'll make it as amended. 777 00:37:44,420 --> 00:37:45,800 Seconded by Ron. 778 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,500 Correct so it's a new this is a new motion. 779 00:37:48,500 --> 00:37:49,760 Make a motion to approve. 780 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:50,440 To approve. 781 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,800 Yep I make a motion to approve as amended. 782 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,340 As amended by Ross. 783 00:37:55,340 --> 00:38:01,760 No motion by Ron seconded by Barnes over a fence ordinance. 784 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,980 All those in favor, signify by saying Aye. 785 00:38:03,980 --> 00:38:05,480 Aye All opposed. 786 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:12,150 Nay we're under resolution 2020 6-2 two. 787 00:38:12,150 --> 00:38:14,490 20 approval of plans for bids Mr. 788 00:38:14,490 --> 00:38:16,690 mark Duchene, Director of engineering. 789 00:38:16,690 --> 00:38:18,930 Please keep it simple for me tonight. 790 00:38:18,930 --> 00:38:19,430 Thank you. 791 00:38:19,430 --> 00:38:20,970 Mayor members of the Council before you 792 00:38:20,970 --> 00:38:24,630 tonight is year two of the Citywide tree removal program. 793 00:38:24,630 --> 00:38:27,730 We did this first of all, last year in 2025. 794 00:38:27,730 --> 00:38:28,790 We're back again this year. 795 00:38:28,790 --> 00:38:32,650 This year, we had 73 properties respond to the interest 796 00:38:32,650 --> 00:38:35,170 out on the internet and on the city website, 797 00:38:35,170 --> 00:38:37,750 for a total of 154 trees to be removed. 798 00:38:37,750 --> 00:38:39,850 A reminder, these are voluntary assessments 799 00:38:39,850 --> 00:38:43,250 where the city will put out a contract for the tree removal. 800 00:38:43,250 --> 00:38:45,690 We'll get bids for each tree to be removed. 801 00:38:45,690 --> 00:38:47,250 Once we have those bids, we will put together 802 00:38:47,250 --> 00:38:50,330 a voluntary assessment agreement for each of the property owners, 803 00:38:50,330 --> 00:38:52,330 and then at that time, they can elect to either move forward 804 00:38:52,330 --> 00:38:55,010 with the project or decline and find a way to remove 805 00:38:55,010 --> 00:38:56,690 the trees on their own. 806 00:38:56,690 --> 00:38:58,610 The benefit of doing it through this city program 807 00:38:58,610 --> 00:39:01,630 is that we fund all the upfront costs to have the trees removed, 808 00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:04,450 and then we assess the cost for the removal to each property 809 00:39:04,450 --> 00:39:07,010 owner over a five year term at an interest rate that 810 00:39:07,010 --> 00:39:09,250 will be set in the fall, based on where our current bonding 811 00:39:09,250 --> 00:39:11,200 rates are at that time. 812 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,720 So if there's any questions, I certainly answer them. 813 00:39:13,720 --> 00:39:17,100 One reminder, this is one of two programs this year. 814 00:39:17,100 --> 00:39:19,640 We will be back, probably in the first meeting in August 815 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,660 with the relief grant program. 816 00:39:21,660 --> 00:39:23,800 That was a program for income qualified residents 817 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,640 to have their trees removed, their stumps 818 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,080 grinded and new trees planted through a grant through the DNR. 819 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,560 So the folks that are in this contract tonight 820 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,640 did not qualify for that relief program. 821 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:40,240 So with that, we are asking you to approve resolution 2026 220. 822 00:39:40,240 --> 00:39:43,620 Questions, Mayor Spooner. 823 00:39:43,620 --> 00:39:45,640 Yes I'll make a motion to approve resolution 824 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:52,240 22622 0 seconds 2026220. 825 00:39:52,240 --> 00:39:54,200 I think I misspoke. 826 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:59,100 I still second that motion by Ross, second by Vance Luce. 827 00:39:59,100 --> 00:40:03,240 All those in favor of resolution 2026 220. 828 00:40:03,240 --> 00:40:04,680 Signify by saying Aye. 829 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,080 Aye all opposed. 830 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:08,100 Motion passes. 831 00:40:08,100 --> 00:40:11,280 Thank you very much, everybody bids tonight. 832 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:11,920 We have none. 833 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:13,680 Boards, commission reports, announcements. 834 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:14,840 Anybody have anything. 835 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,320 Administrator Kinser. 836 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,420 Yes Just to clarify, some schedule 837 00:40:18,420 --> 00:40:21,960 changes coming up this next Tuesday is National Night Out. 838 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,260 So there will not be a work session. 839 00:40:24,260 --> 00:40:26,140 There will also not be a special work 840 00:40:26,140 --> 00:40:28,400

00:40:33,780 --> 00:40:36,000 meeting on Tuesday, August 11. 844 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,500 Our regular council meeting will be 845 00:40:37,500 --> 00:40:40,860 held on Wednesday, August 12 at

have our monthly council chat. 849 00:40:47,720 --> 00:40:50,140 We are canceling that because of having the city 850 00:40:50,140 --> 00:40:51,660 council meeting that night, so there 851 00:40:51,660 --> 00:40:53,480 will be no August council chat. 852 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,820 The next council chat will be September 9 853 00:40:55,820 --> 00:40:59,680 at Central Park, 5 to

I lost my first cousin, so maybe I don't know yet how we do that, 864 00:41:28,830 --> 00:41:32,970 but I'm thinking about having one or two. 865 00:41:32,970 --> 00:41:35,970 But that could change too, because I mean 866 00:41:35,970 --> 00:41:38,970 communication with the family. 867 00:41:38,970 --> 00:41:40,770 Could you just. 868 00:41:40,770 --> 00:41:41,990 Yeah, I would let her know. 869

00:41:57,010 for reconstructing seventh Street Northwest from Central 875 00:41:57,010 --> 00:41:58,330 avenue to Hewlett Avenue. 876 00:41:58,330 --> 00:42:01,510 This is tentatively scheduled for an early 2030 time frame, 877 00:42:01,510 --> 00:42:04,810 but we're starting now so that we can get a geometric layout 878 00:42:04,810 --> 00:42:08,230 configuration selected as well as give us enough time 879 00:42:08,230 --> 00:42:09,790 to pursue outside funding for what 880 00:42:09,790 --> 00:42:11,590 will be a significant project. 881 00:42:11,590 --> 00:42:14,250 We are hosting two pop up neighborhood engagement events. 882 00:42:14,250 --> 00:42:16,770 We will be at the community center for night to night, 883 00:42:16,770 --> 00:42:19,190 and we will also be in Central Park 884
