drainage and utility easements. Councilmember Kurak felt that it seemed to be an unfair practice <br />on such a large parcel of land. When discussing the issue with staff it was determined that there <br />should be a different policy to apply to land larger than ten acres. <br /> <br />Robert McDonald requested that his cancellation of his subdivision request be withdrawn and <br />action be tabled. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Kurak, seconded by Councilmember Anderson, to table action and <br />direct staff to draft a policy that would exempt subdivisions over ten acres from encumbering all <br />wetlands with drainage and utility easements. <br /> <br />Further discussion: Councilmember Anderson requested that staff identify the pros and cons to <br />changing the current policy. Councilmember Hendriksen inquired if the proper motion should <br />have been to direct staff to review the current policy. Councilmember Kurak stated that she is <br />looking to move the issue along in a timely fashion so that Mr. McDonald can go ahead with his <br />subdivision. A policy cannot be changed without an official resolution. Councilmember <br />Anderson replied that the policy may not pass until they get more information. Councilmember <br />Hendriksen stated that he did not think they should be thinking of it as holding Mr. McDonald <br />back when they are trying to follow City policy. He felt the motion should be that they table <br />action pending review of the policy, and out of that may come something that will allow Mr. <br />McDonald to develop the way he wants. Councilmember Kurak replied that she does not want to <br />hold Mr. McDonald back on something that isn't even a written policy. The ordinance that Mr. <br />Goodrich read is an ordinance that govems the City. The policy she is asking to amend is not <br />even a written policy. City Attorney Goodrich suggested that action be tabled pending drafting, <br />review and acceptance of the policy. <br /> <br />Motion was amended as recommended by the City Attorney. <br /> <br />Further discussion: Councilmember Hendriksen requested that staff draft what the current policy <br />is and then provide alternatives to that policy. Mayor Gamec inquired if Mr. McDonald wished <br />to rescind his request to withdrawal his application. Mr. McDonald replied yes. Councilmember <br />Hendriksen inquired if there was any concern with the timeline. Community Development <br />Director Frolik replied that she would have to research that information and, if it is an issue, she <br />would have the applicant waive the 60-day rule. Councilmember Hendriksen inquired if Mr. <br />McDonald was willing to waive the 60-day rule. Mr. McDonald replied yes. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Kurak, Anderson, Hendriksen, <br />and Zimmerman. Voting No: Councilmember Hendriksen. <br /> <br />Case #9: <br /> <br />Request for a Conditional Use Permit to Construct and Operate a Cellular <br />Antenna on a City Water Tower; Case of Verizon Wireless <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik stated that the City Council met on August 28, 2001, <br />and reviewed a conditional use permit application from Verizon Wireless to construct and <br /> <br />City Council/October 9, 2001 <br /> Page 13 of 24 <br /> <br /> <br />
