Case #14: Covenants for Industrial Area City Administrator Schroeder stated that covenants ensure a consistently high standard of development which cannot be ensured by the zoning ordinance alone. The City has a significant financial investment in its industrial park and the proposed covenants are recommended to provide security in that investment. The Council directed that the proposed covenants for the industrial area of the City of Ramsey be reviewed by the Planning Commission. In addition, the City Council recommended that an Architectural Review Board be comprised of two Planning Commission members and two Economic Development Commission members, two property owners, and the City Administrator. The Planning Commission has suggested that Ben Deemer and Brad Thorud sit on the Board 'and the EDC has suggested Dave Kent and Ken Wagner. These positions would be newly elected each year so there would be a different property owner chosen each time too. The property owner's seats would remain open until the lots are transferred to the new owners. Currently, it is anticipated that Command and Carbon Product Technology representatives would hold these seats. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Beahen to adopt the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Business Park 95. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Peterson, Beahen, Beyer and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Case #15: Proposed Adoption of the Minnesota Building Code City Administrator Schroeder reported that the State of Minnesota has recently approved the updated building code for 1994. The 1994 Uniform Building Code does not include any major changes to previous editions of the building code. Motion by Councilmember Beyer and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to introduce the ordinance adopting the 1994 Uniform Building Code. Motion carded. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Beyer, Zimmerman, Beahen and Peterson. Voting No: None. Case #16: Report from Road and Bridge Committee 1) Review of 1995 Street Maintenance Program City Engineer Jankowski reported that the Road and Bridge Committee received and reviewed eight addresses where there was a question of assessment. At the Council table earlier, Council amended action on four of these addresses. 2) Discuss Sunwood Drive Alignment City Engineer Jankowski stated that a couple of meetings ago, Council chose a preferable alignment for Sunwood Drive. At the last meeting, one of the property owners asked that it be reviewed again. The Road and Bridge Committee reviewed it this evening. They recommended the northern most alignment which is somewhat different from that which Council previously authorized. He stated that it is acceptable from an engineering standpoint and Tom and Patty Kurak, Ben Deemer, and John Peterson of Good Value Homes were at the meeting and all three owners expressed agreement with this alignment. He asked Council to ratify yet another alignment on Sunwood Drive. City Council/September 26, 1995 Page 18 of 22
