Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated Mr. Paschke had some concern about an M-1
zone next to his property and that was the reason the proposal was made to
have the property adjoining Mr. Paschke's rema�n as commercial and only
rezone three lots to M-1.
Mr. Rob Taylor, representing Winfield �evelopment Company, stated they don't
have any firm leases for the property, but it �s quite possible they will have

, construction.
Councilwoman Moses asked about the offtce-warehoustng type of use in both
buildings.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated he sent a letter to Winfield Development
Company regarding his interpretation of the code regarding C-2 and P4-1 zones
and areas where there are similarities and where there are differences. He
thought, from this letter, it was their feeling they know what would be permitted.
Councilwoman Moses pointed out one of the stipulations is that Winfield Development
would work with the City on the roadway and share in the cost and quest�oned tf
this would be a problem. Mr. Taylor stated he couldn't foresee any problem, as
they felt they should pay for some of the costs, since they will be using the road.

� Councilman Schneider questioned the purpose of elim�nating the garages.
f�r. Ray Cunningham, represent�ng the Farr Corporation, stated when the plat
was originally approved in 1979, they thought they would be able to sell a
lot of two-car garage units, however, this has not proven to be true, th�refore,
they wtsh to eliminate them from the plat. He pointed out there are 48 units
in Plat VI and they ha�e 60 garages whtch will be enough.
; � �-
PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 9, 1981 PAGE 4
Counc�lman Schne�der asked if someone wishes to purchase a double garage, if
they could do so. Mr. Cumm �gham stated they could until the garages are all
sold. He expla�ned every unit has a base price which �ncludes a single garage
and if another garage is desired, the additional cost is $3,995.
Counctlnan Schneider asked the provistons for parking besides the garages.
Mr. Cunningham stated there is some off-street parking provided, but didn't
know the exact number of spaces. He explained they were not reducing the
parking, ,7ust eltmating the optional garages.
Councilman Schneider asked if this matter has gone through the process of
the Townhouse Association. Mr. Cunningham stated it had two years ago.
Councilwoman Moses asked if they were to go before the Townhouse Association
now, if he could see any problems with the tenants as far as parking is concerned.
Mr. Cunningham stated he didn't see how the owners would be affected by this
chanaes.
Councilwoman Moses stated she has a letter from owners in which they indicate
they saw additional parking areas when purchasing their townhouse and now didn't
foresee any off-street parking available.
Mr. Cunningham stated an alternative would bet� make the whole strip, where
the yarages are now proposed, off-street park�ng if that wou]d be helpful.
Councilman Schneider stated he has this same letter and the owners stated,
when they purhased their townhouse they were shown a s�te layout and dtdn't
purchase a second garage because they couldn't be assured where it would be
located and they state off-street parking has been eliminated.
Mr Flora stated construction has been accord�ng to the plat. Councilman
Schneider asked if the plat was adopted without any provisions for off-street
parking. t4r. Cunningham stated each garage has a turn-in area in front of �t
and they haven't eliminated any off-street parking.
Mayor Nee stated any guest parking needed then is not provided Mr. Cunningham
stated there may be one or two stalls, but not a number of them for guest
parking.
Councilwoman f�loses stated perhaps the cost for the second garage was excessive
and may be the reason they �-�zr���'tsold, ho�vever, she did feel they needed some
off-street parking.
The President of the Innsbruck Townhouse Corporation and members of the Board
of Dtrectors were present and it was requested this �tem be tabled unttl such
time as �t is brought before the Board of Directors and Architectural Control
Committee.
lhe President requested, in tlie future, the Townhouse Association receive
notices of the public hearin9s.
Mr. Kook, a resident of the 6th Addition, stated cneof the main concerns is
parking since the streets, basically, are only 20 feet wide and it is very
difficult to park along the curb line. He stated a concern of the Architectural
Control Comm�ttee, if garages are eliminated, is that the land is not �ust
left barren and wild as they ielt it would detract from the townhouses in the area.
Mayor Nee asked Mr. Kook if he felt a parking area would be considered an
�mprovement to which he answered in the aff�rmative.
Mr. K ook stated the Architectural Committee would li4:e some time to discuss
this issue.

PUBLIC HEARING MEETII4G OF FEBRUARY 9, 1981 PAGE 5
Mr. Cunningham stated he was puzzled, in that this plat was approved, and they
are asking to elimtnate garages they don't feel are needed.
Councilwoman Moses stated when the plat was approved in 1979, the City should
have been aware what type of parking needs were needed and so stipulated at
that time. Mr. Cunningham stated they would be willing to put parking in this
area, Mrs. Walker, owner of one of the townhouses, questioned why she had not
received a deed for the second garage. Mayor Nee explained that the plat,
where her garage is located, has not as yet been filed, therefore, this is the
reason she hasn't received a deed.
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, felt there was a need to review the parking requirements
and a report back to the Council and also to give the Townhouse Association time
to review this proposal.
h1r. Cunningham stated they have some um ts sold and would like to file thts plat.
He stated he doesn't know what their options would be, however, if they eliminated
the garages, they would be happy to put in off-street parking.
Mayor Nee stated it would fiave been helpful if Farr Coporation had talked to
the Townhouse Association about this proposal.
Councilman Schne�der stated, in the time he has been on the Council, any dealing
with the Farr Corporation has always been a problem, apparently because they
have not gone back to the Townhouse Association which, �n turn, creates delays.
MO7ION by Councilman Schneider to continue this public hearing on Innsbruck
North 7ownhouse Plat VI and request staff to review the parking situation in
the area, as well as any other agreements that may or may not be made as a
result of thts plat, with a report back to the Counc�l and to table action
until Counctl hears from the Townhouse Association. Seconded by Counctlman
Barnette. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the mot�on

enforceable instrument to remain elibilbe in the NFIP.
Mr. Flora stated the underlined items are new items added to the code, Section
205.157, and the cross-hatched items are deletions.

which used the Army Engineer Corps Flood Study, is that the Moore Lake basin

CONSIDERATION OF EASEMENT AGREEMENT WITH NORTHERN STATES POWER RE: NORTH
PARK AREA.
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated the proposal for this easement a9reement is
that Northern States Power would deed to the City, an equivalent amount of
land they are gettrng the easement on and would pay the City $121,750 as
a cash payment. They would further a9ree that the poles would be lined up
�vith the existtng line and would be a single structure pole type instead of
a fra�ne type.
Counc�lman Barnette asked why the $121,750 ts earmarked for use �n North Park.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney felt there are two questions, one being, if the
State and Federal requirements require this money to be earmarked for North
Park. He stated he doesn't have any opinion,vtiithout doing some further
checking. Secondly, he stated, tf there is no legal requirement, it would
be the Council's prerogative to dec�de where the money should be used.
Mayor Nee stated the reasa�u they need the approval of the State and Federal
government is because of the LAWCON money and their interest in the land.
He stated the reason for gett�ng land on the south is that it is part of the
trade the State and Federal government approved.
Councilman Schneider stated it would seem zhe property �s be�ng damaged
with the new wire, and is part of the property furnished by LAWCON, and
the payment from NSP is for the damage.
