I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Case #$: Request for Final Plat Approval of Ramsey Meadows 2nd Addition; Case of Gilbert Menkveld Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that the preliminary plat approved on May 26, 1992 for Ramsey Meadows consisted of 29.5 acres to be subdivided into approximately 29 single family lots. At this time, Mr. Menkveld is proposing to final plat the second phase of Ramsey Meadows which consists of 14 lots. The lots are being served by two cul-de-sacs versus a through street because of DNR's objections to constructing a through street in the wetlands.: Park Dedication will be satisfied with a cash payment and a connector trail link contingent upon cooperation with the property owner to the south. The City is asking the developer to escrow dollars for construction of this path. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to adopt Resolution g93-03-044 granting final plat approval to Ramsey Meadows 2nd Addition. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gilbertson, Councilmembers Peterson, Beyer, Hardin and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Case #6: Authorize Construction of Improvement Project #92-19 and #92-12 by Change Order to Bonine Excavating, Inc. (Sewer and Water Extension to 149th Avenue N.W. and County Road #5) City Engineer Jankowski stated that last fall the City awarded a $417,296 contract to Bonine Excavating, Inc. of Elk River for the construction of the sanitary sewer, watermain, storm sewer and street improvements in the Sunny Ponds subdivision. After the award of the Sunny Ponds project, two petitions for similar improvement projects were received from residents of 149th Lane N.W. and a property owner on the west side of County Road #5. Project g92-19 and g92-12 were established in response to these petitions and have progressed to the point that plans for their construction are now complete. The contractor is agreeable to performing the work for these two projects at the same unit prices bid for the Sunny Ponds project. Mr. Jankowski recommended that the construction for the projects be authorized by a Change Order. The amounts represent an approximate 16% increase in the scope of the project which is well within the State Statute allowable of 25%. Motion by Councilmember Hardin and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to authorize, by Change Order, construction of Project #92-19 and #92-12 for estimated costs of $60,998.45 and $7,166.20, respectively. Motion carded. Voting Yes: Mayor Gilbertson, Councilmembers Hardin, Zimmerman, Beyer and Peterson. Voting No: None. Case g7: Adopt Ordinance to Amend the B-1 Business District Regulations Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that on February 23, 1993, City Council introduced an ordinance to amend the B-1 Business District regulations in accordance with recent amendments to the B~3 and B-2 Business Districts. She explained the major thrusts of these amendments are requiring the installation of site improvements by January of 1997 and exterior facing finish on buildings being 100% other than metal. The frequency of conditional use permits will be reduced by listing conditional uses as permitted uses and incorporating the criteria for those conditional uses as performance standards.
