Councilmember Hendriksen replied that that was what he was going to suggest. He stated that if <br />a person is put on notice, then he has less sympathy for them if they fail to comply.~ <br /> <br />Sergeant Way stated that under the current ordinance, the Council is able to levy the civil fines to <br />the license owners. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Council was for the Police Department to fine the license holders that have <br />failed compliance checks. <br /> <br />Sergeant Way stated that there are six license holders that have been notified in writing of the <br />violation and one that recently failed a compliance check and has not yet been notified. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen inquired as to what the recommended penalty would be. <br /> <br />Sergeant Way replied a $500 civil penalty. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak inquired as to what happens with the fines that are collected. <br /> <br />Sergeant Way replied that the money goes into the general fund. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that one thing the Police might want to check into in the future is beverage <br />carts. <br /> <br />2) New Development Adjacent Property Grading <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak stated that the issue was brought up during the River Pines 5th Addition <br />review where an adjacent property owner came before the Council explaining that the developer <br />had crossed onto his property during the grading process. That issue was resolved, but the City <br />needs to be prepared on how to deal with those types of issues in the future. <br /> <br />Principal City Engineer Olson explained that they do treat every instance somewhat differently, <br />but they do require that, within 100 feet of an adjacent property, locations are marked to identify <br />the water flow in the area for grading activity. The City does not require that developers provide <br />contour information, but staff does generally ask for that information. The one thing they always <br />try to do is avoid dumping more water onto someone else's property. They do try to match <br />grades as close as they can, but there are times that does not work. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak stated that in the case of River Pines, the developer was actually going on <br />the property. <br /> <br />Principal City Engineer Olson stated that about a year and a half-ago, staff did some research on <br />the mining and grading ordinance and made some changes to that ordinance. During that <br />process, staff discovered that Ramsey is one of the more restrictive cities when it comes to <br /> <br />City Council/October 22, 2002 <br /> Page 4 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
