The City Administrator indicated that a curb along the edge of the street would be part of the Main Street project. General discussion was carried on regarding the curb of the Main Street project and the consideration of the green space between the curb and the American Legion parking lot.

Discussion was also carried on regarding the necessity of a private road agreement for Mr. Denzer to access his property. Discussion was also carried on regarding the street easement.

Amendment to Zoning Ordinance Regarding Funeral Parlor Use - Public Hearing The City Administrator indicated that the City has recently had requests for information regarding the location of funeral parlors within the City of Elk River. The City Administrator indicated that because the City's Zoning Ordinance does not specif ically address funeral parlors, the City's Building and Zoning Administrator requested a recommendation from Mr. Zack Johnson, the City's Planner. The City Administrator indicated that Mr. Johnson recommended that funeral parlors be allowed as a principal use in C-3A andC-3B zones and that they be allowed as a conditional use in R-3, R-4, and C-4 zones. The City Administrator further indicated that the Planning Commission considered Zack Johnson's recommendation and voted unanimously to recommend that funeral parlors be allowed as a principal use in C-3A and C-3B zones and as a conditional use in R-3, R-4 and C-4 zones. Councilmember Gunkel indicated that she did not have a problem with funeral par- lors being allowed as a conditional use in an R-3 zone, even though it is a lower density zone, as most funeral homes are designed like homes and could fit into the R-3 setting. Councilmember Schuldt indicated that he felt a funeral home is a commercial use and should not be allowed in a residential zone. Councilmember Engstrom indicated that he felt if funeral homes were allowed as a conditional use in residential zones, the City would then be able to set the conditions of the funeral parlor. Councilmember Engstrom further indicated that he felt funeral parlors were much the same as churches and found in res- idential zones; Discussion was carried on regarding the nonconforming use of the present funeral home in Elk River. Mr. John Pearce, representative of the Planning Commission, indicated that the Planning Commission felt funeral parlors are found in residential areas and through the conditional use, the City could require off street parking. Mr. Pearce further indicated that he felt a funeral home would not go into an existing development, but that it could be allowed in future residential development. Mr. Rick Breezee, Building and Zoning Administrator, indicated that a funeral parlor in the downtown area, is not necessarily compatible with the downtown redevelopment. r . City Council Minutes April 16, 1984 Page Six Discussion wa.s carried on regarding the ordinance amendment regarding funeral parlors and the necessity of a four-fifths vote.

Dino's Liquor License Revocation ~ Public Hearing The City Administrator indicated that a public hearing has been scheduled to consider the revocation of the on-sale beer license for Dino's Pizza. The City Administrator further indicated that at the time of notification to Ms. Caryn Lundquist of the public hearing, Ms. Lundquist indicated that she was not interested in selling beer, and therefore, did not care if the license was revoked. The City Administrator indicated that that previous information has currently changed, as Ms. Lundquist sent a check to the City to cover the license fees of the mechanical amusement devices. Mayor Hinkle opened the public hearing. No one appeared for or in opposition of the revocation of the on-sale beer license. The City Administrator indicated that the City Council was considering the revocation of the beer license because, after numerous attempts to have Ms. Lundquist license the mechanical amusement devices located at her place of establishment with no response, the City's Ordinance, 800.22 allows for the consideration of revocation of the on-sale beer license. Councilmember Gunkel indicated that Dino's Pizza has a history of difficulty in getting various licenses and questioned whether the City should issue a license because of what appears, their lack of responsibility. Councilmember Schuldt indica.ted that he was well aware of the undue delays that Ms. Lundquist has made in licensing her mechanical amusement devices and further indicated that the City's Police Department has not received any complaints regarding conduct or any other difficulties at the Dino's Pizza establishment. Councilmember Schuldt, further indicated that he did not feel the City had sufficient grounds for revocation of the on-sale beer license. General discussion was carried on regarding the difficulty the City has had in licensing the mechanical amusement devices and obtaining the fees for the on-sale beer license.

Councilmember Gunkel indicated that the improvement project was from Highway #169 to Railroad Drive and would be tied in with the Highway #10 improvement project and the signal installation at Main Street and Highway #169. Councilmember Gunkel indicated that the plans and specifications were ordered in August but that the project had never been ordered. The City Administrator indicated that as the original public hearing on the pro- ject was in June of 1983 and the project had not been officially ordered, the City Council must re-hearthe project prior to the award of the bid. Mr. John Gilbertson, Engineer from Consulting Engineers Diversified, indicated that the bid schedule as proposed in his memo tCll,J:heMayortahd,JCity; GouniHl. should not cause a problem with the construction of the project. I Mr. Norm Kastendick indicated that he was re~resenting his mother, a homeowner at the corner of Gates Avenue and Main Street regarding the easement necessary for the construction of the Gates Avenue and Main Street intersection. Discussion was carried on regarding the City's 66 foot easement. Mr. Gilbertson indicated that the required easement from Mrs. Kastendick is necessary flor cont"' struction but would be returned to green space. Mr. Kastendick also indicated that Mrs. Kastendick was also concerned about the relocation of the utility pole and telephone junction box and whether or not her tree would be destroyed in the relocation of the pole and construction of the turn lanes and intersection. The City Administrator indicated that the easement required from Mrs. Kastendick is approximately 50 square feet. Further discussion was carried on regarding the relocation of the power pole. Councilmember Gunkel suggested the City engineer consider the possibility of installing another pole to then allow the wires to miss the tree in Mrs. Kastendick's yard. City Council Minutes April 16, 1984 Page Eight Mayor Hinkle indicated that the City Council could approve the plans and specifications, order the bids and set the public hearing date. Mayor Hinkle further indicated that the City Council could address the relocation of the utility pole after investigation by the City's Engineer. Discussion was carried on regarding compensation for easements. The City Administrator indicated that should the City Council decide to give a reason- able compensation for easement, that procedure should continue iniother projects in the City of Elk River. The City Administrator further indicated that Mr. Gilber!t:son, the City's Engineer would discuss with the Utilities, the problem of the utility pole at the corner of Main Street and Gates Avenue. Mr. John Gilbertson indicated that the East Main Street Project would end just short of Railroad Drive and the balance of Main Street to Highway #10 will be included in the Highway ttlo project now porposed for 1985.

Sidewalk Repair Program Councilmember Schuldt indicated that he has asked the City Staff to prepare an inventory of the sidewalks within the City of Elk River that needed replacement or repair. Councilmember Schuldt indicated that many of these sidewalks have been broken up by tree roots or other causes and can pose a possible hazard to pedestrians. Councilmember Schuldt further indicated that some of the side- walks that need repair or replacement are along MSA roads and could be re- placed at the time of the MSA improvement. Councilmember Schuldt further indicated that he would like the City Council to adopt a program for replacement or repair of sidewalks other than those bordering MSA roads. Councilmember Schuldt further indicated that the City Council would have to also determine how the costs for repair or replacement would be paid. General discussion was carried on regarding the cost of repair or replacement of sidewalks. Mr. Phil Hals, the City Street Superintendent indicated that local contractors have a problem preparing a cost estimate with so much unknown, for example, the tree roots and removal costs. Mr. Hals indicated that the contractors felt if the City would do the removal of the current sidewalk and tree roots, they could give an estimate for the replacement. Mr. Hals indicated that if all the sidewalk that was of substandard condition were replaced, it would be approximately 4,700 lineal feet. Mr. Hals further indicated that there is approximately 1,600 lineal feet of critical sidewalk. Mr. Hals indicated that the ballpark figure for concrete replacement if the City does the removal, is approximately $10 per lineal foot. Mr. Hals further indicated that if the City would choose another means of repairing the sidewalks, which could involve bituminous, the installation of asphalt would be approximately $.50 per square foot, for the material. City Council Minutes April 16, 1984 Page Nine General discussion was carried on regarding areas that need removal of the sidewalk and other areas that could be repaired. Discussion was also carried on regarding the replacement of asphalt versus concrete.

The City Administrator further indicated that the design has been reviewed by the various softball leagues and associations with the only comment that the design include a warning track for player safety. The City Administrator indicated that the City Council should address the unbudgeted expenses that would be incurred with the construction of the ball- fields. The City Administrator indicated that the unbudgeted expenses include seeding, construction of the irrigation system, permanent outfield fencing and baseline fencing, bleechers, and asphalt. The City Administrator further indicated that at the present time the City expects to receive between $6,000 and $8,000 from the various leagues toward the construction of the complex which would leave approximately $16,000 to $18,000 unbudgeted. The City Administrator indicated that the bleechers and asphalt could wait for later years. The City Administrator further indicated that the City could obtain the unbudgeted cost from the City's park dedication fund. General discussion was carried on regarding the Street Department's plan for the construction of the ballfields. Discussion was also carried on regarding the league fees and the amount per team or per person that would be paid toward the construction of the ballfield complex. The City Administrator indicated that the women's softball leagues and the men's fast pitch softball leagues use the fields approximately half as much as the men's slow pitch softball leagues.
