I I Regarding the requiring of boulevard trees being planted, Mr. Berg stated that it would be better for the City not to do so because the City would assume responsibility for the maintenance of those trees and it would be a financial burden. Mr. Goodrich requested Council to note Paragraph 210.012G of Chapter 210 - 'Subsequent Assessment Of Initially Non-Benefitted Properties' - Mr. Goodrich stated that it is a new paragraph that addresses the procedure to be followed when going back to assess properties for improvements that were not assessed at the time of construction and completion because there was no need, but at a later date there is a need. Mr. Berg commented that on Page 10 of Chapter 210, Paragraph 210.016A, the reference to 'petition of 100% of the affected land owners' is not representative of the democratic way. Mr. Goodrich replied that this policy does not conflict with State law and that Minnesota Statute Chapter 429 allows Council to entertain a petition by 35% of the affected landowners. I i I I I i I I I ! Mayor Gamec stated that Council's intent is not to extend sewer and water into existing residential areas unless there is a health hazard and recommended leaving it at 100%.
