Mr. Flora stated the Plarunng Coi[NUSion recorm�ended approval of ti�is special
use permit with eight stipulations, whicP� l�e outlined frorn the Pl���ning
Corcmlission minutes.
Councilman Fitzxatrick stated he felt the rraFfic flow would change wxil; the
opening of this business, as some of the northbound customers would rnake
left turns. He stated a similar request ior a gas station at 79th an� East
River Road was denied because of traffic �robleas.
Councilman Fitzp�trick stated a petition has been received containing 110
� sigriatures of �ersons in the ir�anediate area who ob�ect chiefly because ti�ey
feel this would add to the traffic congestion,
Mr. Fred Meinke, Meinke Foods, 7883 East P,iver Fcoad, sLated he dldn'L
believe the area �uld support another oonvemenoe store, He s�atec� he aiso
felt, if this special use permit is grantecifor the gas station, he should
also be allowed to have the same privilege.
Mr. Nee stated the item the Council is considerirvg is whether or not to
allow the sale of gas at this location and not wheLYier or not �he
wrroenience store should be allowed.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated the fact thaL- soneeody feels ther� are
too many stores oi one kind is not reason to refuse tu allow another store
to open providing the zoning is correct and no var�.ances or spe�.ial use
permits are needed. The question before 'rhe Council is whether they wou3d
issue a speclal use permit for the sa"le of gasoline. I3e staceci he
understands all criteria is met to open a convenience store.
P9s. Myran Kostuch, 8027 Fairmont Circle, siated she lived directiy across
frwn this proposed station and asked if therc are plans �o install trariic
signals.
r7r. Flora stated the County would be checking the trafxic count Lo ae�.ei7aine
if siynals are warrantec� at this intersection.
� Ms. Kostuch stated she felt, because the drzveway to this station is
directly across the street fran Fainnont Circle, you would have cars coninG
across East River Road onto their street in order to turn around and exit on
East River Road, She felt this would affec� ihe safety of the �;hildren.

Ms. Kostuch stated she wouLd like to see this d3:ivew�y closed.
Mr. Flora stated he didn't feel the custaneis would exit out the drive�aay
and cross over onto Fairmont Circle.
Councilman Schneider asked Ms. Rostuch why she feli trafic would corne into
Faixmont Circle. She stated she felt they wou3d use �iis street as a turn-
around to get back onto East River Road.
Ms. Pat Holcomb, the petitioner, stated one oi the questrons brouyht up was
the lighting and she stated they would use zonec! lighting which si�ines

directly onto the lawn rather than into the street or ad7acent properties.
NLS. Holcomb stated the c7riveway shown as closed on Fairmont has been closed
for years and tYiey didn't intend to open it.
Ms. Holcomb stated the stipulation regarcltng a$5,000 performance pond was
an agreanent between t7r. Robinson of the City staff and herself based on the
iact that it was late in the season to camplete the landscaping.
She stated arrange�nents have been made to complete the landscaping this year
and would like to havE this stipulation removed as the reason for the �
stipulation was to insure the landscaping was c�mpleted.
Mr. Flora stated the performance bond is to make sure all improvements are
campletect and when this has been acoomplished, the bond is released.
Mr. Holcomb stated she would auestion the legality on the stipulation to
provide a 17 foot easement. 3he stated the easement wouldn't be used for
�nother five to seven years at rhe earliest and their property value woulcl
decrease when they signed the easement. Shz stated if they siyn the
easement at this time, they will not be compensated for it, B'is. Holcomb
stated the Nhnnesota canstitution says it is illegal and people have the
right to be compensated for anything taken for public use,
Mayor Nee feli tlley should consider the matter of the special use permit and
their reasons for requesting it before getting into the stipulations
recommended.
Ms. Holcomb stated th�y dic7 a market ytudy for tYte area and pointed out the
nearest gas stations to the north and south. She stated when residents in
the area were first notified of this request for a special use permit, she
had several neighbors come to her and were excited about their proposa7..
�imcilman Pitz�trick stated the Council's problan is they have a petition
with ll_0 names opposed to this special use permit. �
Ms. Holconb questioned if ali the persons who signe& the petitiori were
adults. She stated it was determined at the Planning Commission rneeting
tYiat sorne of the signatures were persons underage and some that didn't live
in the area.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated the petition is strictly iniormation for
the Council, however, if more analysis is needed he was sure staif can
provide this information. He stated it really isn't irnportant who signed
the petition, but the reasons behind it. He stated on a request for a
special use pennit, there has to be some evidence that the proposed use
would create some ty�e oP a problem. Ile stated, in this situation, all
n�nbers of the Council are familiar vrith the area and the traffic situation.
He st�ted if the request is granted or not, the Council should state the
reasons.
Mayor Nee stlted he felt it was in the interest of public safety to require

�
�� �� i • �ur � , • • ,
the easement to help the county provide for safe left turns in the future.
He asked Ms. Holcomb if she was in agreanent to provide the easement.
Ms. Holcomb stated the only argiunent she has is it is being taken without
any campensation.
Mr. Herrick stated if the petitioner knows this will be a requirement for
the special use permit, this could probably be taken into consideration in
negotiating the sale price of the property. He further stated, if and when
the County improves the street, he felt it would substantially increase the
� value of the property so if the petitioner isn't com�ensated for the square
footage, they would be compensated by the fact that the property will have a
better and safer access and be more valuable.
Ms. Holcomb stated she found there is s�e legal questions in providing the
easement and the County told her it is wntestable. She felt this request
for the easement should be set aside for further examination and
consideration.
Councilman Fitz�trick stated ne would move to table this iten. He pointed
out, however, similar requests for gas stations on East itiver P.oad have been
demed. He stated he does believe there is a safety factor involved.
Nl�TION by Councilman Fitzp�tnck to table this item. Seconded by Councilman
Schneider, Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion

Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated this is a request for a variance to
reduce the side yard setback between buildings frcnz the required 25 feet to
5 feet in order to allow a building addition to line up with the existing
� building,
Mr. Flora stated the Apeals Cornmission has recommended approval of this
variance with stipulations that the south wall of the new adcfition be a
4-hour rated fire wall and the south wall of the e�eisting building be
upgraded to a 4-hour rated fire wall and any openings in that wall be
upgraded or renoved.
Mayor Nee asked if the petitioner had thought about purchasing an additional
15 feet so a variance woulchi't be needed. The petitioner was not present at
the meeting and since this question to purchase additional property had
never been raised, the following action was taken:

7. RECEIVING OPINION FROM CITY ATi'ORN�.'Y RDGARDING THE GOLF COURSE INITIATIVE
PETITION•
r7ayor Nee stated he raised some questions regarding this petition and asked
for an invest�,gation of the matter regardtnq the use of revenue bonds.
Mr. Irmtan, City Clerk, stated there are two types of revenue bonds, one type �
is in which the full faith and credit of the community is pledged behind it
for a�xrticular activity and the City can use its taxing power to pay the
debt service zf need be. He stated the other type of bond is the one that
cloesn't have the backing of the G ty's taxing power.
Mr. Irmzan stated the difference between the two bonds is in the risk. He
stated the one, without backing of the City, runs higher because of the risk
and is somewhat unattractive to sell. He stated the City has no
responsibility in this type of bond, but in general obligation bonds, the
G ty has resp�nsibility for payment of the debt service.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated in his review of this matter, he
discussed the issue of revenue bonds as the proposed ordinance attached to
the petition refers to these bonds. He stated there is probably a
difference in the legal implications as to what kind of bond is used. He
stated, in his opinion, if a strict revenue bond was issued, one that
doesn't have the full faith and credit of the community he felt it probably
wouldn't violate ihe process in the irutiative process of he Charter. He
stated the Charter was to prevent the p�ssage of an ordinance which would
substantialTy increase or reduce the revenue of the City. He stated this
purpose was to protect against an ordinance that was initiated that would
cut the taxes or double the budget and put the City in a bad fiscal
position.
Mr. Eerrick stated, if a bond is used that would carry the full faith and �
credit of the conununity, and taxes would be levied if there was a shortf all,
he believed this would be a problem in that it would conflict with the
language of the City Charter,
Mr. Herrick stated if that kind of bond is issued, taxes could be levied if
the revenue was insufficient.
He stated a supplenent could probably be issued which would expand on his
opimon.
Mr. Herrick stated there were three issues he �nsidered. He stated one was
whether the proposal was a legislative or administrative action. He felt
the use of the property was what would be def ined as legislative action
because it would be a long-term decision, as opposed to a day-to-day
operatinq admimstrative decision.
�
��
��.1�� _ u �. • r ,
D2r. Herrick stated the second issue he considered was whether there was a
conflict with the Charter regarding the a�propriatinc� of money or "levying o�
taxes.
Ns. Herrick stated the third issue was the question ai whether r1�e proposea
ordinance would be inappropriate because L-lze issue on Lhe use oi the land
had already been decided in a previous vote, He stated there are scme
caurts that would say that is the only way it can be decic7ed and a decision
could be overruled by a future vote of the electarate.
� Mr. Hernck stated he pointed out pract�cal consiaerations, one was ihe
agreenent made with the Metropolitan Counci, as far as ;.inancing. He sta�ec�
a portion of that agreanent indicates that, without mYULUal agreemeni, the
Council agreed to continue the use of tl�e laz2d as a naiure center ior a
�eriod of 20 years fram the time the pro�eci: was completed.
Mr. Herrick stated his opinion contained iuri-1�er information regarding couy:t
review and appropriate timing should it come down to that question.
Mayor Nee asked NIr, Herrick the nature of t�is revis�on and conclusions.
Nr. Herrick stated, if it is i�.nancecl with a cevenue bond, without L-he iull
faith and credit of the City, there would not be a violation oi the
restriction in the Charter. He stated, ii the iinancing contained a pledge
of Eull faith and credit of the City ior any deficiencies or ocher
appropriations of money, there would be a l�.mitatioiz imposed by rhe Charter.
Mayor Nee questioned if there were any bonds thaL didn't r�uire i:he City Lo
spend something to support the operation.
Mr. Inmari, City Qerk, stated he hasn't seen any i17at are sel;:-sustaimril.
He stated rnost bonds address the �y2ng of the debt servlce and keep�ng the
facility in such a fashion that it would warrar?t bus�ness.
� Mr. Herrick stated he would suggest to the people distributing the petition,
ir they are going to proceed with it, the proposed ordinance could sl-anc�
some unprov�nent, He statect one of the tl�ings that should be 3ook�d at ls
nore detailed definition of the terms. He sLated discussaon on the proposed
financing has been sufficient to shaa s�oe care needs LO be taken oi there
is going to be a question on whether there is some conflict with Lhe
Ciiarter.
�
Mayar Nee stated what the real question sec�ns to L� is how you inter��rec tl,e
meaning of revenue bonds.
Nir. Herrick stated he would discuss this issue iurther �ai�� the bond counsel
with a report back to the Council.
Councilman Barnette �tatect ten years ago when ihe whole issue was brought
up, there was no concern on how it was going to be financec�.

Mayor Nee stated the only questior� is whether this is a legal petition.
Mr. Herrick statd the difference then was there was not an initiative
�;etltion.
N'�yor Nee stated he woiiLd be comfortable if the petition specified it would
be funded solely rrom revenue and no City monies.
Councilman Barnette stated he didn't beliEVe this question cou7.d be answered
until a facility is operational.
Mr. Herrick stated he thought the problc�n the petition is up against is the
restnctive language in 9=he Q�arter. He stated if that language is to be
given a normal interpretation, the initiative can't be used to a�pxopriate
rnoney or r�uire a oonmitrnent of taxes.
