I I ! I I I I I I CASE CASE #10: Home Insurance Company's letter dated September 8, 1982 ~ Mr. Llewellyn explains in his letter why they settled out of court on the Buchite case. If theY had not negotiated the settlement, we may have been in worse shape. This case points out why this workers' compensation law has to be cleaned'up. Insurance Service Center's letter dated September 10, 1982. ~ In his'.letter, Mr. Newell Chester answers my question as to if it would be better for Ramsey to pay the Buchite loss. He points out that it is better for us to let %he Home Insurance Company cover the loss. He does make suggestions how the City can better protect themselves in the future. The contents of this letter will be going to the Personnel Committee regarding physicals, etc. Then it will come back to the Council for final action. Council Action: Your action will be to note that you have reviewed the letters from the Home Insurance Company and Insurance Service Center. Any other action will have to be dictated by Council. REQUEST FOR AN ACCESSORY BUILDING; CASE OF MR. KENNETH MILLER: Mr. Kenneth Miller of 13914 Sunfish Lake Blvd. NW has again requested con- sideration for an accessory building at his residence. Mr. Miller's initial request was for a structure 24' x 26' which you approved. However, when Mr. Miller came in to apply for his permit, he wanted to build a larger g than what the Council had approved. He was informed by the Building Official that this would require a Board of Adjustment variance and would have to go back to Council. He was also informed of the $90.00 non-refundable fee. He does not think this is fair and therefore wishes to address Council on this matter. Ordinance for Board of Adjustment is quite' restrictive. However, if · Miller desires to build a commercial building, then the Building Code becomes very restrictive. If you feel that Mr. Miller should have a larger building, then we would recommend you advise Mr. Miller to invest the $90.00 for a Board of Adjust- ment fee as that would cost substantially less than a commercial building would cost. '. DRAINAGE PROBLEM REGARDING JASPAR STREET AND 162ND LANE; CASE OF MR. JOE MCCARTY: This case has been before the Council several times and the last time the City stated that if Mr. McCarty bought the culvert, the City would install it. There would be a certain amount of landscaping needed to provide ade- quate drainage which the City would have to do. In discussing this with Street Superintendent Mevissen again, he stated that five years ago prior to that street improvement, Fir. McCarty wanted the City to install a culvert. ..City Staff is willing to execute any policy Council decides on in this case, however, if the City is going to purchase this culvert, keep in mind we have others out there who would want the same service.
