Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers DeLuca, Pearson, Cich and Peterson. Voting No: None. Case #6: CORE Application For Fishing Pier At River's Bend Park: Mr. Raatikka recalled that on December 12, 1989, City Council voted to keep the CORE application for a fishing pier at River's Bend Park active. It has been noted that the DNR prefers projects with a cost sharing feature and on February 13, City Council designated the $500 donation from Commercial Asphalt and the $500 donation from Danny's Aluminum to be used as a cost sharing feature in Ramsey's CORE application. City Staff is inquiring if the City wishes to contribute an additional $1000 to increase the cost sharing feature of the CORE application. Motion by Councilmember Pearson and seconded by Councilmember DeLuca to adopt Resolution #90-02-058 supporting a CORE application for a fishing pier at River's Bend Park and committing $2,000.00 ($500.00 from Danny's Aluminum, $500 from Commercial Asphalt and $1000 of City Park Trust Fund) in funds as a local share. Further Discussion: Councilmember Peterson stated that additional matching funds should be sought from organizations like Lutheran Brotherhood and certain handicap organizations. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers DeLuca, Pearson, Cich and Peterson. Voting No: None. The Council recessed at 9:00 p.m. Mayor Reimann called the meeting back to order at 9:15 p.m. Case WT: Adopt Resolution Ordering Right-Of-Way Plans For Sunfish Lake Drive Between Sunfish Lake Blvd. N.W. and Nowthen Blvd. N.W.: Mr. Raatikka stated that the developers of Chestnut Hills and Cedar Hills have petitioned the City to acquire the appropriate right-of-way for construction of an east/west street from Sunfish Lake Blvd. NW. to the northwest coruer of Chestnut Hills. In addition, there is another plat planned along Nowthen Blvd. All of the developers involved are willing to donate the right-of-way for an east/west street; the only portion of right-of-way remaining that would have to be purchased is Sunfish Lake Drive, which is currently a private road and eligible for MSA funding. Mayor Reimann and Councilmember Peterson were of the opinion that even though MSA roads are subsidized, the developers are receiving benefit and should be assessed accordingly. Mr. Hartley noted that the bulk of the right-of-way will be donated by the developers. City Council/February 26, 1990 Page 10 of 13
