It was noted that the only requirement now is that they have to receive permission fi.om the landowner where they plan to hold the carnival. It was suggested that some of this could be controlled through the conditional use permit process. Zoning Administrator Frolik pointed out that the CUP fee is about $1,000. Attorney Goodrich suggested that the City needs to look at zoning and licensing. Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen and seconded by Councilmember Anderson to table action on the proposed carnival ordinance and bring back another draft at a subsequent meeting. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Hendriksen, Anderson and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Case #12: Condemnation Resolution for Fire Station Proposal Fire Chief Kapler stated that at the May 11, 1999, Council meeting, staff was directed to begin negotiations on the property referred to as #9. The property owner had been contacted and staff was told that the property was not for sale - that it will not be available on a voluntary basis. Staff was directed to negotiate in the area of three to 10 acres. Unable to negotiate, staff picked a figure of five acres, which would easily facilitate this project and maybe some expansion and is asking for authorization to acquire property through the condemnation process. Councilmember Anderson stated she hates to condemn land unless there is no other choice. Mayor Gamec pointed out that the City did hire a consultant and if that's the best area they came up with, we should do smnething about it. Chief Kapler stated that in the study by Hoisington Koegler, they identified two parcels as pr/me sites that would give the City the best value for the money and left it up to staff to decide. Staff feels that #9 is better by far. Councilmember Hendriksen cautioned that the City needs to make sure we acquire enough property and he suggested that maybe staff is being too conservative. Chief Kapler assured Councilmember Hendriksen that five acres is very adequate for a fire station. Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Mayor Gamec to adopt Resolution #99-05-097 to authorize acquisition of the parcel known as #9 (PIN 20-32-25- 44-0001) for the purposes of constructing a second fire station. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Zimmerman, Anderson and Hendriksen. Voting No: None. City Council/May 25, 1999 Page 18 of 25 I I I I I I I' I I I I I ! I I I
