Lundberg Sewer Connection Fee Request
The City Administrator indicated that Mr. Cliff Lundberg has objected to the
sewer hookup fee charge to his new building on the corner of 4th Street and Jack-
son Avenue. The City Administrator indicated that the hookup fee charged is based
on 2,281 square feet per floor with 1 unit assigned for each 1,000 square feet.
The City Administrator further indicated that the charge would be 2.28 units times
$625 per unit for a total of $1,425.00. The City Administrator further indicated
that the original sewer hookup fee for the building that was burned down was
$125.00, therefore, crediting $125.00 against the $1,425 for a net fee of $1,300
being charged to Mr. Lundberg's building. The City Administrator indicated that
Mr. Lundberg is objecting to the fee, as he believes that he has not increased the
usage with the new building. The City Administrator further indicated that he has
met with Mr. Lundberg, and Mr. Lundberg has indicated that he would do some additional
curb, gutter and sidewalk work along 4th Street and Jackson Avenue in lieu of the
City Council Minutes
October 1, 1984

the hookup fee. The City Administrator indicated that Mr. Lundberg indicated
that he would extend the curb from the private residence, Ollie Micheau's, on
4th Street, to the corner of Jackson. The City Administrator indicated that Mr.
Lundberg has indicated that he would prefer to place the curb right next to the
sidewalk which would give additional space for a turn lane on 4th Street onto
Jackson. The City Administrator indicated that by moving the curb closer to the
sidewalk, it would allow traffic to drive over a manhole at the corner of 4th Street
and Jackson. The City Administrator further indicated that the City would not re-
ceive enough benefit in the terms of a trade off for the hookup fee. The City
Administrator indicated that he felt the hookup fee was fair and recommended that
the City Council uphold the staff's decision regarding the hookup fee for Mr. Cliff
Lundberg's building.
Mr. Cliff Lundberg indicated that prior to the building burning down the occupancy
was a pizza place on the main floor and a meeting hall on the upper floor. Mr.
Lundberg indicated that the City's ordinance requires that for each ten seats in a
restaurant, there is one unit charge. Mr. Lundberg further indicated that the
pizza place in the old building had thirty-two seats, therefore, equivalent to
three unit or hookups. Mr. Lundberg further indicated that if the upstairs was
considered retail space, it would require one hookup. Therefore, the old building
had approximately 4 to 5 hookups under the present ordinance. Mr. Lundberg in-
dicated that his new building is being considered at 2.28 units, therefore, he
believes he should not be charged a hookup fee for the new building. Mr. Lundberg
indicated that he believed hookup fees were charged to pay for the expansion of
the wastewater treatement plant and not to recapture costs from those already hooked
up. Mr. Lundberg indicated that if he is required to pay the $1,300 hookup fee, he
WQuld not be able to place the curb and gutter as discussed earlier.
General discussion was carried on regarding the curb, gutter and sidewalk proposed
by Mr. Lundberg along 4th Street and Jackson Avenue.
The City Administrator indicated that Mr. Lundberg's new building was not considered
an alteration or an addition and therefore, was charged the hookup fee. The City
Administrator indicated that he and the City's Street Superintendent had looked at
the curb line as proposed by Mr. Lundberg, and further indicated that the manhole
and storm drain would cause a problem at the corner of Jackson and 4th Street if the
curb was placed next to the sidewalk. The City Administrator further indicated
that the Police Department has recommended that there be no parking in front of
Mr. Lundberg's building on 4th Street and on Jackson Avenue.
Discussion was carried on regarding the sewer hookup fee charged to Doug Johnson's
building across the street from Mr. Lundberg's building.
Councilmember Gunkel indicated that she likes the idea of the curb, gutter and
sidewalk proposed by Mr. Lundberg but further indicated that the curb, gutter and
sidewalk was not the issue. Councilmember Gunkel indicated that the sewer hookup
fees for new building replacements was the issue to be considered.
Councilmember Duitsman indicated that hookup fees are to pay for the new wastewater
treatment plant and therefore, a second charge to a replacement building was not fair.
Discussion was carried on regarding the size of the sewer line from the building to
the street. Councilmember Duitsman indicated that if there was an increase in size
or usage, a hookup fee is warranted. Discussion was also carried on regarding the
City Council Minutes
October 1, 1984
;Page Three
usage oe the sewer line and the determination of that usage.
Councilmember Engstrom questioned the hookup fee charged to the Gar-San building
which replaced approximately 3 homes in that area.
Councilmember Schuldt indicated that he felt it was a policy decision by the City
Council and that the City Council should consider the possibility of the downtown
redevelopment in their policy decision. Councilmember Schuldt further indicated
that tennants can change, therefore, tennants and usage should not be the issue,
that the City Council should consider the policy of a replacement building as a
new building, therefore, charged as a new building.
COUNCILMEMBER SCHULDT MOVED TO UPHOLD THE STAFF'S DECISION TO CHARGE MR. LUNDBERG
A SEWER HOOKUP FEE OF $1,300.00 FOR HIS BUILDING AT THE CORNER OF 4TH STREET AND
JACKSON AVENUE. COUNCILMEMBER GUNKEL SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION FAILED 2-3.
COUNCILMEMBER GUNKEL, COUNCILMEMBER DUITSMAN AND MAYOR HINKLE OPPOSED.
Mayor Hinkle indicated that he felt the City should encourage new development and
help developers whenever possible to encourage that development in the City of Elk
River. Mayor Hinkle further indicated that he felt the City Staff should review
the sewer hookup charge to the Doug Johnson building and readjust the hookup fee,
if required.
The City Administrator indicated that City Staff was not trying to make development
in the City of Elk River difficult, but further indicated that sewer hookup fees are
essential to maintain the integrity of the sewer fund.
COUNCILMEMBER DUITSMAN MOVED TO CANCEL THE SEWER HOOKUP FEE CHARGED TO MR. CLIFF
LUNDBERG ON HIS BUILDING AT 4TH STREET AND JACKSON AVENUE AND FURTHER, AUTHORIZE
AN INTERERETATION OF THE CITY'S ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER REPLACEMENT BUILDINGS THE
SAME AS ALTERATIONS OR ADDITIONS TO THE SITE. COUNCILMEMBER GUNKEL SECONDED THE
MOTION. THE MOTION PASSED 3-2. COUNCILMEMBERS SCHULDT AND ENGSTROM OPPOSED.
The City Administrator asked Mr. Lundberg if he would now do the curb/gutter and side-
walk improvements reviewed. Mr. Lundberg indicated he would. The Administrator in-
dicated the Street Superintendent and Building and Zoning Administrator would contact
him regarding specifications.
Pollack Zone Change Request - Continued Public Hearing
Mayor Hinkle indicated that at the September 17, 1984 City Council meeting, the re-
quest for a zone change for property north of Elk Hills was considered. Mayor Hinkle
further indicated that as a result of several questions and concerns raised by both
the Councilmembers and residents of the Elk Hills area, the Council determined that
they would continue the public hearing until the October 1st meeting. Mayor Hinkle
indicated that at a City Council committee session on September 24th, the City Council
again discussed the Pollack re.zoning request and site concept. Mayor Hinkle further
indicated that the proposed density was discussed, the land uses in the present site
were discussed, road patterns and ownership were discussed, as well as the concerns
of the Elk Hills residents.
Councilmember Duitsman indicated that he felt the property must be zoned PUD to allow
for the density necessary to allow for development and yet retain the terrain of the
property. Councilmember Duitsman indicated that there are some very nice homes on
very nice lots in the downtown Elk River which is a higher density than Elk Hills.
Councilmember Duitsman further indicated that a planned unit development does allow
for citizens' input, as each portion of the development requires a public hearing.
City Council Minutes
October 1, 1984
Page Four
Councilmember Schuldt indicated that the rezoning of the property to a planned unit
development would not automatically accept the site plan as originally proposed.
Councilmember Duitsman indicated that in the City Council's work session, the
Council determined that a commercial site at the corner of Elk Hills Drive and
Highway #169 would not be acceptable and further indicated that the City Council
also determined that it would require thru streets to Highway #169 on the northern
edge of the planned unit development.
Councilmember Gunkel indicated that she could appreciate the apprehension of the
Elk Hills residents regarding planned unit developments. Councilmember Gunkel
further indicated that she felt the only way to retain the beauty of the property
was to allow the development through a planned unit development process. Council-
member Gunkel indicated that with the present zoning, the City Council can only
stipulate the maximum density and further indicated that through a planned unit
development zone, the City Council can place other controls.
Councilmember Engstrom indicated that in the City Council's committee session the
City Council expressed their concerns of traffic flow in the area. Councilmember
Engstrom further indicated that the City Council would require roads to go through
Highway #169 on the northern edge of the development. Discussion was carried on
regarding the proposed concept of the development with regard to the cul-de-sacs,
roads and entrances into the area.
Mayor Hinkle opened the public hearing.
The City Administrator indicated that the concerns of the Elk Hills Residents would
be considered and the developers would develop a concept that would be consistent
with those concerns. Mr. Larry Toth indicated that the City Council could still
maintain the controls necessary through the preliminary plat process.
Mr. Cliff Lundberg requested that the City Council consider the maximum density
to be compatible to the Elk Hills development. Mr. Lundberg further indicated
that in the Elk Hills development, there are two units per acre. The City Admin-
istrator indicated that the Elk Hills development is zoned R-lc and therefore, could
be developed at a higher density than what is currently in place.
Mr. Larry Toth indicated that the density in an R-lc zone for unsewered property is
3 units per acre. Councilmember Schuldt indicated that the area has been assessed
for interceptor sewer, and therefore, will be developed with sewer.
General discussion was carried on regarding the requirement of sewer in the develop-
ment.
Councilmember Duitsman indicated that at the time of the sewer interceptor assess-
ment, it was the consensus of the City Council that the City develop from the core
area outward and therefore, specific areas were assessed for the sewer interceptor
as it was planned that these areas would be sewered when developed. Mr. Larry Toth
indicated that he was also on the City Council at the time of the sewer interceptor
assessment and further indicated that he felt it was not the intent of the City
Council at that time to cram houses on a particular area to pay for the interceptor.
Mr. Toth indicated that the concept proposed by the Pollacks showed an average of
City Council Minutes
October 1, 1984
Page Five
approximately 5 units per acre and further ~ndicated that if the hill was not
considered in the average, the density would be even higher per acre.
General discussion was carried on regarding the proposed density per acre for the
development. Mr. Vance Syring indicated that he was opposed to the proposed planned
unit development rezoning and requested that the City Council leave the zoning as
is. Ms. Julie Kastendick indicated that the residents are very sensitive to a
planned unit development zone as there is the possibility of constant change and
the people must be able to attend every meeting to be aware of what is happening
with those changes. Mr. Denny Carlson indicated that he felt the property should
remain as currently zoned and further indicated that he is not convinced that a
planned unit development zone would be better.
Mr. Norm Kastendick questioned the law requiring that the property must be sewered.
Councilmember Duitsman indicated that there was not a law requiring that the pro-
perty be sewered and further indicated that it was a Council decision that the
property be a part of the sewer district, and therefore, developed with sewer.
Ms. Barb Burandt indicated that the Elk Hills development has been assessed for
the sewer interceptor and yet is not sewered, therefore, indicated that the pro-
posed area could also be developed unsewered.
Discussion was carried on regarding the percent of the property that was considered
buildable and the requirements for park or park land. The City Administrator in-
dicated that the development would be required to either set aside park land or
deposit money into the park development fund of the City.
Mayor Hinkle indicated that it was economically not feasible to develop a develop-
ment in two and one-half acre lots and yet require the property to be sewered.
Mr. Vance Syring indicated that the Brentwood Addition is developed in two and
one~half acre parcels and appears to be economically feasible, therefore, he felt
the City Council should not require the area to be sewered and allow the develop-
ment to be developed in two and one-half acre parcels.
Mayor Hinkle indicated that he felt there was not enough land to go around for
everyone to have a two and one-half acre parcel of property.
Ms. Flo Bird expressed her opposition to the proposed planned unit development
zone and the higher density proposed for the development.
Mr. Bill Farnan, architect for the developer, indicated that the terrain of the
property allowed for a higher density to be planned for the northern part of the
property and a lower density planned for the southern portion nearest the Elk
Hills development. Mr. Farnan indicated that the planned unit development zone
would enable the developers to develop with that higher density to the north.
Mr. Arlon Fuchs expressed his concern of the density proposed closest to the Elk
Hills development.
Councilmember Gunkel questioned at what point would the City Council specify the
maximum density that they would accept. The City Administrator indicated that
the developers have not had an opportunity to design a concept taking into con-
sideration the Elk Hills residents' concerns. The City Administrator suggested
City Council Minutes
October 1, 1984
Page Si.x
that the City Council give the developers an opportunity to submit a concept plan
for the development. The City Administrator further indicated that if the Elk
Hills residents formed a group with a chair person the City could then contact
that person regarding the planned unit development process and the review of the
concept as proposed.
Councilmember Engstrom indicated that he felt that through the planned unit develop-
ment process, the developers and the City Council could get the density most suit-
able for the whole community, the development and the Elk Hills residents.
Councilmember Gunkel indicated that she felt a rezoning to a planned unit develop-
ment would be better to work with and allow for something tood to develop on the
property.
Councilmember Schuldt indicated that he felt the City Council must work with the
developers to develop a project which is in the best interest of the City of Elk
River.
COUNCILMEMBER SCHULDT MOVED TO REZONE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM R-'IC, R-lB AND R-lA
TO A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ZONE. COUNCILMEMBER GUNKEL SECONDED THE MOTION. THE
MOTION PASSED 5-0.
COUNCILMEMBER ENGSTROM MOVED THAT THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ZONE BE DEVELOPED
RESIDENTIAL. COUNCILMEMBER DUITSMAN SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION PASSED 5-0.
7. Consider City Facilities
Mayor Hinkle indicated that the City Council held two public hearings regarding
the Citizen's Advisory Committee's recommendation on the municipal facilities study.
Mayor Hinkle further noted that the City has approximately 3,000 registered voters
and a total of 35 people came to the two public hearings. Mayor Hinkle indicated
that it is very difficult for a City Council to make decisions regarding the total
City when so few people express their interest in the community and their interest
in supporting the Council and the decisions the Council must make. Mayor Hinkle
further indicated that the City can be what it wants to be and further indicated
that people need to work for what they want and not necessarily always be paid
for that work; volunteers are needed. Mayor Hinkle indicated that the Citizen's
Advisory Committee consisted of approximately 40 people that had six meetings in
the last six months to review problems, options and solutions to the City's municipal
facilities and to ultimately make a recommendation to the City Council; Mayor
Hinkle indicated that the present City Hall building was purchased by the Elk River
Utilities in 1959 for the purpose of the artesian well, and further'indicated that
the building has been used for various uses in the past 25 years. Mayor Hinkle
indicated that the Advisory Committee's recommendation was to remodel the City
Hall for its continued use as a City facility. Mayor Hinkle further indicated
that the remodeled building will be landscaped and sufficient parking will be pro-
vided. Mayor Hinkle further indicated that the proposed remodeled City Hall will
enhance the entrance into the community. Mayor Hinkle indicated that he supported
the committee's recommendation to place the question of a bond issue to the citizens.
COUNCILMEMBER GUNKEL MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 84-24 A RESOLUTION TO ACCEPT THE
REPORT OF THE CITIZEN'S ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND TO AUTHORIZE A REFERENDUM TO BE PLACED
BEFORE THE VOTERS AT THE NOVEMBER 6TH GENERAL ELECTION TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY TO

ISSUE BDNDS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $1,300,000 FOR THE 15 YEAR REMODELING OPTION
OF THE CITY HALL, A NEW PUBLIC WORKS GARAGE AND AN ADDITION TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
BUILDING. COUNCILMEMBER SCHULDT SECONDED THE MOTION.
Councilmember Duitsman indicated that if the motion is as presently stated, he
will vote no, as he believes there is a definite need for a public works facility
but that he is not sure of the other municipal facility needs. Councilmember
Duitsman indicated that the mill rate for the rural community is projected to
double by the year 1989. Councilmember Duitsman further indicated that he would
support the question to be placed before the voters as three different issues; one
for a public works garage, one for a remodeled city hall and one for an addition
for the fire department building.
Discussion was carried on regarding the legality of CouncilmemberDuitsman's
suggestion.
Councilmember Schuldt indicated that he felt the referendum could not be split as
the voters could approve a remodeled city hall and not approve a public works facility,
and then the public works would not have a location.
Mayor Hinkle indicated that he felt it should be as one referendum. Mayor Hinkle
further indicated that suppose the remodeling of the City Hall did not pass; then
the City Council would have to consider the federal handicapped requirements and
money would have to be spent to make the building handicapped accessible. Mayor
Hinkle questioned what was best for the City.
Councilmember Duitsman indicated that he is concerned with the projected mill rate
increases and if the people can decide, they will decide to spend what they think
they can afford.
Councilmember Engstrom indicated that he could see both the good and the bad of
the proposal suggested by Councilmember Duitsman. Councilmember Engstrom indicated
that he also is concerned with the increase in mill rate for the rural area.
Mayor Hinkle called for the vote.
THE MOTION PASSED 3-2. COUNCILMEMBERS DUITSMAN AND ENGSTROM OPPOSED.

The City Administrator indicated that it is proposed that Railroad Drive and Irving

they will be used for detours. The City Administrator indicated that it was City
City Council Minutes
October 1, 1984
:Page Eight
Staff's recommendation that the Council authorize Railroad Drive and Irving Avenue
to be made two-way streets now. The City Administrator indicated that if Irving
Avenue becomes a two-way street, the mail drop box will have to be relocated. The
City Administrator indicated that in his discussion with the City Street Super-
intendent regarding two-way traffic on Irving, it was suggested that the mail
drop box be placed on an island in the parking lot across from what was Adam's .-:
furniture.
Councilmember Schuldt indicated that he had discussed the possibility of two-way
traffic on Railroad Drive and Irving Avenue with both the City's Street Super-
intendent and the Police Chief. Councilmember Schuldt indicated that in his
discussions, both the City's Street Superintendent and the Police Chief also
indicated to him that it would be best to dispense with the one-way traffic and
allow two-way traffic on both streets.
Discussion was carried on regarding signage or a small island or some other means
to let motorists know that a left turn cannot be made from Railroad Drive onto
Jackson Avenue.
COUNCILMEMBER ENGSTROM MOVED TO AUTHORIZE A TRAFFIC CHANGE TO TWO-WAY STREETS ON
RAILROAD DRIVE AND IRVING AVENUE AND TO MARK THE CHANGE WITH SIGNS AND STRIPING
WITH NO LEFT TURN SIGNS ON TO JACKSON AVENUE FROM RAILROAD DRIVE. COUNCILMEMBER
DUITSMAN SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION PASSED 4-0.

of 5th Street and Twin Lakes Road.

SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION PASSED 4-0.
Mayor Hinkle indicated that he has received a request that the City Council consider
a street light at the corner of 5th Street and Twin Lakes Road. The City Admin-
istrator indicated that if there was a pole there, the Elk River Utilities would
just have to mount a light head, which would cost approximately $400.00.
COUNCILMEMBER ENGSTROM MOVED TO AUTHORIZE A STREET LIGHT AT THE CORNER OF 5TH STREET
AND TWIN LAKES ROAD. COUNCILMEMBER GUNKEL SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION PASSED

that the City of Elk River should have a good chance again next year.
E. Sewer Line on 5th Street
The City Administrator questioned the next step in the process of replacement
of a sewer line on 5th street. Councilmember Duitsman indicated that the
Utilities Commission has met regarding the feasibility study for the water
and sewer line on 5th Street and have recommended that the City Council
accept the feasibility study and assess fifty percent of the cost. Council-
member Duitsman further indicated that the City Council should schedule public
