'� EONSIDERATION DF LOT SPLIT REQUEST, LS ',�,81-02, 7699 VIRON ROAD (FROSTOP
— - - - ---- �--- -- - --.__�
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated this lot split was presented to
the Plann�ng Commission who recommended approval of the request.
Mr. Flora explained this split was accomplished a while back by the County
and the City wasn't informed, and the attempt now is to get the lot split
approved by the City so assessments can be split accordingly.

REGULAR MEETING OF APRIL 6, 1981 PAGE 2
Mr. Flora explained, in con�unction with th�s request for the lot split,
the question came up regarding the improvement of Osborne Road and the
construction of a loopback around the Frostop property to Osborne Road.
P1r. Flora stated he had a meeting with the property owners involved and,
essenttally, both parties agree the loopback provides no benefit at this
time. He stated Mr. Harris felt if any property is taken, he should be
compensated. Mr. Flora further stated Mr. Dahl is willing to work with
� the City to obtain some acceptable agreement for the configuration of the
road, but doesn't want to lose any property on the south of his parcel.
He explained Mr. Dahl felt with future construct�on of a sidewalk on the
property, thts parcel would become a very narrow piece.
Mr Flora po�nted out the Planning Commssion recommended approval with
the minority opinion that the City should do something about the commitment
regarding the loopback.
Councilwoman Moses asked Mr. Harris if he bought the property after it
was split by the County.
Mr. Harris stated he acquired interest in the property in 1970 and when a
surveyor d�d sonte work last s-ummer to identfy the parcels correctly, it
was found the description included the Frostop wh�ch, obviously, wasn't
part of hts property.
Mr. Harris stated, therefore, since 1370, he has been paying the special
assessments for the Frostop property and felt this should be corrected.
Mr. Harr�s stated, at the time thts lot split came before the Planntng
Commission, there was an attempt to try and tie this to a proposed loopback.
He explained, with the exception of one dissent�ng vote, the Commiss�on
felt the lot split shouldn't be tied in with the loopback. He stated he
can see no benefit to his property for the loopback and hasn't petttioned
� for it and 6elieved the new owner of the Frostop hasn't petitioned for it
either. He stated he felt the taking of the property by the City is not
equitable and that he views the lot split request as corrective action
and it should be granted to alleviate the inequity.
Councilman Schneider asked if the lot split was granted before the road
problem is resolved, if it creates additional problems.
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated at some point in time, the property
ad�oining Frostop w�ll proba6ly be sold and developed and there inay 6e a
need for traffic improvement. He pointed out, with the proposed improvement
of Osborn� Road, and construction of a median, traffic could only exit to
the east on Osborne. He stated, if the property develops, and depending
what ts its use, there probably would be a greater requirement for a loopback.
Counc�lman Schneider stated the only matter now is that Mr. Harris wants the
lot split to get the records straight, and questioned if this influences the
loopback.
Mr. Flora stated tt certainly would affect it in the future, parttcularly,
the smaller parcel.
Councilman Barnette stated he felt the mix-up occurred when the Frostop
moved from their orig�nal location to this location on Dsborne Road. He
pointed out that neither of the property owners wants the loop6ack.
� MOTION uy Councilman Schneider to concur with the recommendations of the
Plann�ng Comm ssion and grant LS #81-02. Seconded 6y Councilman Fitzpatrick.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried
unanimously.

TO REPEAL OL� CHAPTER 103
�AND
ONSIUERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING
PAGE 3
11.10 OF THE
0
Mr. Jim Htll, Public Safety Director, stated the proposed ordinance before
the Council is, basically, one that has been drafted through the desire of
many police officers tn the City.
Mr. Nill explained, over a per�od of several years, there has been a
noticable increase in the amount of dangerous weapons or instruments,
such as clubs, wrist rockets, bows and arrows, etc., in possession of
persons and they have found that the current firearms ordinance is
outdated.
Mr. Hill stated other ,7urisdictions have drafted stmilar ordinances to
what is being proposed to the Council this evening. He pointed out there
were cases in the City where weapons, such as bows and arrows, are used
in 6ack yards and parks and pose a danger of firing the arrows across the
road or right-of-way. He explained the City currently doesn't have an
ordinance to assest in enforcing these situations.
Councilman Schneider stated he can see daggers and dirks spelled out in
Item 7, but questioned the term "knives". Mr. Hill stated it appears to
6e broad, but it is the same language found tn other ordinances. He�
explained possession of a switch blade is an explicit violatton
Mayor Nee quest�oned if possession of a hunting knife would be a violation.
Mr. Hill stated hunting kn�ves are found under the defin�tion of illegal
weapons, but possession itself wouldn't be a violation, unless the intent
�s to do harm.
Mayor Nee asked �f Section 103.04 permits private pol�ce to be armed. Mr.
Hill stated it wouldn't, and if a private officer would be armed, he would
need a permit to carry a weapon.
Mayor Plee questioned if a bartk guard could carry a weapon. Mr. Hill stated
he would be exempt, if he had an authorized State perrm t to rarry the weapon,
as this ordinance does not provide for him to carry the weapon.
Counc�lman Barnette questioned if a police officer is moonlighting as a
bouncer or guard, if he can legally carry a firearm. P1r. Hill stated
this is a much discussed issue. He explained the Assistant Attorney
General feels the officer has no authortty outside his �urisdiction.
P1r. Hill felt there was an exception to the rule and all legal f�ndings
say this is not the case, and once they are a sworn off�cer, they have
the �urisd�ction. Mr. H�11 stated, in regard to moonlighting, you will
find legal opinions all the way to the Supreme Court that differ.
Mayor Nee felt Section 103.04 should include those that would have a lawful
reason to carry a weapon or have a State permit.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated the Council could pass the ordinance for
first reading and he would meet wtth Mr. Hill to review some of the questions
that have been raised before the time of a second reading.

during the time of the hearing on the rezoning.

RESOLUTION N0. 47-1981 �EFERRING SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR SENIOR CITIZENS•
Mr Sid Inman, City Clerk, stated this resolution came from the League model
wh�ch was drafted a year ago.
Councilwoman Moses questioned the age of 65 or older and Mr. Herrick, City
Attorney, stated that is a State statute.
Councilwoman Moses also questioned Item 6A where a surviv�ng spouse is not
eligible for benefits. Mr. Inman stated this requirement is also from the
State statute.
Councilwoman F4oses stated she was concerned with 6A 6ecause with many senior
citizens the husband is the hreadwinner and the wife isn't working.
Mr. Herrick felt there wasn't anything the City could do since this is a
State statute.
Councilman Barnette felt it brings in the whole argument on how women are
dtscrtminated against, and felt Councilwoman Moses' point was well taken.
Councilwoman Moses also questioned why the resolution did not address the

this was the procedure recommended by the League, but Council could waive
this in cases of extreme hardship, however, it might create some accounting
problems.
