Regarding Item B, Acceptance of Historical & Cultural
Commission's Recommendation on Holasek House , Pidcock re-
ferred to the amount quoted in the Staff Memo of January
14, 1987 of $35 ,000-$4O, 000 to move the house to the r
Cummins-Grill Homestead . She questioned that amount be-
cause the original cost to move the house to its present p
location was only $12 ,000, and the house is now all pre-
pared for moving. She said she would like this matter
re-examined .
Pidcock further noted that houses such as those at Murphy's
Landing have been moved and thus are not eligible for the
National Register or for federal or state grants yet they
are still very valuable and significant historical buildings .
Director of Community Services Lambert said he had asked
Mr. Depke, a long-time house mover from this area, about
the cost to move the rouse and had received a quote of
$35-$40, 000 to move the house . He said that, if the His-
torical & Cultural Commission was interested in the building,
he would have gone out to get written quotes to move the
house ; however, he said the Commission felt they have enough
problems caring for the two sites they have now and they
did not want to take on a third one . He said he and Sandy
Werts had inspected the building and reported back to the
Commission on its condition.
Peterson said if the Historical & Cultural Commission had
no interest in it , he didn't know why we should want to
study the issue further no matter what the cost to move it
might be .
Pidcock said she believed this has been looked at too briefly
and she would like to see further study done on it .
Bentley said he thought it must have been studied enough
to determine it wasn' t eligible for the National Register
or for federal or state grants . He said he was concerned
that the structure does not seem to have a place or a pur-
pose, nor is there anyone interested in dealing with it .
Harris asked if there is any other purpose the house could
be used for other than the Historical & Cultural Commission.
Lambert said there have been a couple of .Staff meetings
City Council Minutes -5- January 20 , 1987
with this item on the Agenda, and to date they have not
arrived at any use for the building. He said perhaps the
best proposal was to use it as an Art Center, but that
would require extensive remodeling and renovation to make
it useful . He said a new building could probably be con-
structed for about the same cost as the cost to move and
remodel this one .
Bentley asked if there is any problem associated with con-
tinuing the item in order to review the information discussed
t
with the Historical & Cultural Commission and then return
with a clearer recommendation. Lambert said the current
owners have indicated that the building i-an be left where
it is until spring, but that they do call every two weeks
or so regarding the status of this .
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Harris, to continue
this item and refer it back to Staff for further review and
study, with further review by the Historical & Cultural
Commission if the Staff study uncovers new and relevant
information. Motion carried unanimously .
Pidcock said she had questions on Item C . Fee Resolution
as to the amounts and increases in the fees .
MOTION: Pidcock moved. , seconded by Harris, to delete Item C
from the Consent Calendar and add it as Item X . B . 2 on
the Agenda. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Harris, to approve
Item A and Items D - M on the Consent Calendar. Motion
carried unanimously .
IV . PUBLIC HEARINGS
A . MEADOW PARK 3RD ADDITION, by i B & D, Inc . Request for
Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from Public Open Space to
Low Density Residential on approximately 13 .5 acres , Zoning
District Change from Rural to R1-13 .5, and Preliminary Plat
of 31 .5 acres into 29 single family lots and one outlot and

ward Hills Road and Sunnybrook Road . Continued Public
Hearing from December 16, 198E (Resolution #86-232, Com-
prehensive Guide Plan Amendment ; Ordinance #58-86, Rezoning;
Resolution #86-293, Preliminary Plat)
City Manager Jullie said this item was continued from the
December 16th meeting to allow time for consideration of
the response from the DNR regarding possible incursion to
the wetland area on the northern balance of the property.
i
City Council Minutes -6- January 20, 1987
�I
Planning Director Enger said the DNR determined that four
of the proposed lots encroached on the preserved waters
area and the developer then dropped those four lots from
the project . He said the Planning Commission and Staff
recommend approval of the project .
Bentley asked if the road on the north is still platted
on the adjacent property. Harold Peterson, representing
proponent, responded that this has been resolved with
Mr. Williams, the adjacent property owner . He said pro-
ponent has a verbal agreement whereby Williams will give
them an easement and in return proponent will build the
improvements at no cost to Mr. Williams . Mr. Peterson
said the agreements will be written up and submitted as
soon as possible .
Bentley asked Director of Public Works Dietz if it is nor-
mal policy to build a city-owned street with just an ease-
ment . Dietz replied that we do have roads constructed on
easements, including some in the Major Center Area, but
the City does prefer to have title to the property. Dietz
noted that when Mr. Williams ' property is platted in the
future , we would require dedication at that time .
. Bentley asked if this project can be built without the
improvements to Sunnybrook Road . Enger said the improve-
ments are required . Bentley then noted that Council action
on the petition for Sunnybrook Road street and utility
improvements that will be considered as a later item on
the Agenda will have an impact on this project .
There were no comments from the audience .
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Harris. to close the
Public Hearing and to adopt Resolution No . 86-292 amending
the Comireher_sive Guia- Plan from Public Open Space to Lour
Density Residential on approximately 13 .5 acres . Motion
carried unanimously .

lution No . 86-293, approving the Preliminary Plat of Meadow

Commission and Staff recommendations .

City Council Minutes -7- January 20, 1987
Dietz noted that there had been discussion at the Public
Hearing on December 2nd relative to the placement of a
sidewalk along the west side of Homeward Hills Road from
the housing area to Anderson Lakes Parkway . He said Staff
has determined this would be difficult to build but that it
can be done ; however, it would have to be done with City
funds . He said he does not have an estimate at this time
and that it will have to be included in the budget at ' some
future time .
Bentley asked if Staff has recommended that proponent be
asked to construct the sidewalk to the northern end of the
property . Dietz said they would be asked to construct it
to the point where the property is not buildable .
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.

Pidcock asked Jullie about the current activities of the

He described the proposed network and some of the questions
and issues involved in such a network . He also noted that
the School District has expressed concern about possible
erosion of the cable company's commitment to public access a
and said we have asked the cable company to respond to
that concern. A discussion followed regarding the relation-
ships of the School District and the City to the cable '
c ompany.
X . REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOARDS & COMMISSIONS
A . Reports of Council Members
1 . Bentley - Request for formation of Special Task Force
Bentley noted that the PUD for the Major Center Area
was put together in 1973-1974 and many things have
happened in the meantime to impact the direction that
was envisioned for the area. He said there is a lot
of pressure for development on the undeveloped parcels
in the Major Center Area and , under the current desig-
nations, we have no concept control over development
City Council Minutes -10- January 20 , 1987
a
there except through the normal review control . He
.said there are also some on-going transportation con-
cerns that should probably also be addressed .
Bentley said he was proposing that we form a task force
made up of two or three Counc ilmembers, the City Manager,
the Planning Director and two other individuals that
would: (1 ) review the existing Major Center Area PUD
relative to how current development has impacted that
PUD; (2 ) make an effort to draw input from the property
owners in the Major Center Area as well as others as to
what type of development is being envisioned; and (3 )
formulate our own ideas as to what types of development
we would like to see ,occur, such as establishing a
store-front type of shopping area or establishing some
sort of special use area.. He said this would also lead
to looking at such issues as the need for intersection -.
work at the intersection of Prairie Center Drive and
Hwy. 5 . k
i
j
Bentley said he suggested that the task force have no
particular time-line placed upon it and that the meetings y
be workshop-type meetings open to the public . He said
they could then come back to the Council when a report
is ready for review, go from there to the Planning Com-
mission for a formal review process, and then return
to the City Council for any ultimate action.
Pidcock said she thought it sounded wonderful and that
it falls under strategic planning. Bentley said , while
it very likely does fall under strategic planning, he
is concerned that some of the prerogatives we have in
that area today may not be available if we wait for the
strategic planning process to be completed. He said
he thought it was an important enough issue that nothing
will be hurt by pulling it out of the strategic planning
process and putting it into this framework and, in addi-
tion, might indicate the concern the Council has for
what the development of this area will be .
i
Pidcock said we could start the process with that .
Peterson said that we would probably extract this from
the strategic planning process anyway in order to look
at it individually because of the magnitude of the
project .
Pidcock commented that she has wanted to get us working
on a strategic plan for two years now . Bentley said
this could plug into that as part of the process .
Harris said she thought there was a certain immediacy
about that area and, considering the complexity of
a
City Council Minutes -ii - January 20, 1987
developing that area, she thought it probably does
warrant some special attention. She said she was not
clear on where we are in the whole strategic planning
process .
City Manager Jullie said we have received a couple of
proposals from facilitators of strategic planning and
Staff is meeting with one of them in a couple of weeks
to get more details . He said he would like to have some
time to review the results of that meeting to make sure
that is the best approach for us .
Harris asked if it would take about two years before
the final results were in place . Jullie said that
going through the exercises and getting a plan in place
would be six months or so, but we would then have to
implement some kind of action plan.
Peterson noted one of the most significant rationales
for this proposal is that we might be able to make some
more specific types of designation withi.r. the Major
Center Area. He asked City Attorney Pauly what the
legal parameters are in regard to specifying types of
development . Pauly said the Council would have to
reverse the procedure used to date whereby the developer
comes in and requests rezoning by taking the initiative
and pre-zoning particular parcels for a specific class
of use .
Bentley said the purpose of the task force would be to
review the current development , gather data, discuss it
and then come back with some suggestions . He said in
the process we may find some way of accommodating a
third alternative .
Peterson asked Enger and Jullie for their comments .
Jullie said he thought it would be a good exercise
but his primary concern would be the Staff time required
for a real in-depth study. Jullie said he would suggest
the possibility of consultant help for much of the tech-
nical work and that such help might enhance the credi-
bility of the work to the community .
Bentley said he thought the best course might be to
start with the task force committee and see if there
is a need for a consultant . He said they could then
come back to the Council and make a specific request
for funding if it appears there would be large amounts
of work to be done .

City Council Minutes -12- January 20, 1987
Planning Director Enger' said he would like to prepare "
a status report of current development in the Major
Center Area because of what such a task force study
might lead into . He said he felt the primary need for
such a study is that since we have so little land
left in the Major Center Area that isn't spoken for
and planned , we should determine if we have specific
uses in mind for the land that remains . He said he
could get back to the Council at the next meeting
with a report summarizing the composite view of the
land use of the Major Center Area.
COUNCIhMEMBER A NDERSON ARRIVED AT 8: 25 PM.
Harris said ^ she liked Mr. Enger 's suggestion and felt
that such a report would give a point of reference to
further discussion of the issue .
MOTION: Harris moved, seconded by Pidcock, to direct
Staff to prepare a status report of development in the
Major Center Area to be presented at the next Council
meeting as background for further discussion of the
suggestion for establishing a task force on develop-
ment of the Major Center Area .
Bentley expressed his concern that because those prop-
erties left are coming under intense pressure for
development , any lengthy delay in making a decision
on doing this might preclude our ability to do it .
Pidcock said this may give impetus to our strategic
planning.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
2 . Fee Resolution (Resolution No . 87-09)
City Manager Jullie said he would like to continue r
this item to the next meeting so that the information
could be presented to show last year's fees as well as
the proposed fees for 1987 . He said the changes for
1987 are fairly minor.
MOTION: Pidcock moved, seconded by Bentley, to con-
tinue this item to the February 3rd meeting of the
City Council. Motion carried unanimously.
B . Report of City Manager
1 . Authorization to remove house adjacent to the Public
Safety Department on Mitchell Road
T
P
City Council Minutes -13- January 20, 1987
City Manager J ullie noted that this is the house called
the Schulz property south of the Public Safety building.
He said the Public Safety officer who had been renting
it has now moved out . While PROP was initially interested
in using the property, he said they have since declined
to pursue it . He said Staff believes it would be better
in the long-term to have the house removed from the
property because it is in need of major maintenance
work . He asked for authorization to offer the house
for sale.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Harris , to offer
the house adjacent to the Public Safety Department on r
Mitchell Road for sale with the understanding that it t
will be removed from the property. Motion carried unani-
mously.

0 A Resolution No . 87-18)
Director of Public Works Dietz reviewed the bids
received for improvements to Homeward Hills Road
and noted the recommendation to award the contract
in the amount of $370,456 .40 to Rice Fake Contracting
as the lowest responsible bidder .
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Harris, to
adopt Resolution No . 87-18, accepting the bid of
Rice hake Contracting in the amount of $370,456 .40
for I.C . 52-033A, Homeward Hills Road improvement .
E
Anderson said he has some concerns about upgrading
that road without a defined crossing area being
established for the new elementary school on Ander-
son Lakes Parkway. He said he would like to have
this investigated to determine whether a signal
light or underpass is required before the school
opens this fall . He said this improvement to
Homeward Hills Road will open the entire corridor
City Council Minutes -14- January 20, 1987
up to Anderson Lakes Parkway and will increase the
traffic around the new school .
Peterson suggested that this issue be a separate
motion.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Roll call vote: Anderson,
Bentley, Harris, Pideock and Peterson voted "aye . "
Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Pidcock to
direct Staff to review the issue of a safe crossing
for the new elementary school and park on Anderson
Lakes Parkway and to return to the Council with
recommendations on where and how the crossing will
be effected .
Bentley said he was not sure Staff understood what
was expected of them. City Manager Jullie said he
thought the reference was to some sort of signal
device for an at-grade protected crossing in addi-
tion to the existing underpass . Anderson said that
was correct , and that he did not want to pay the
bussing costs for children living across the street
from the school when we can plan now to provide a
safe crossing.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
XI . NEW BUSINESS
1 . Set Special City Council Meeting for Tuesda February 10
