City Fngineer Qureshi explained'to the,City Council the chan�,e and the basis of the design� that Columbia'Heighte,wa's consider- ing going into this also, that he had det personally approached �he High- way Department and would not unless he were authorized to do�'eo�,by the 'City Council. Mayor Nee inquired of City Engineer O,ureshi if the project were restudied if the split in co�t would be different� he was told it was impossible to tell but if they kept changing the basis of assumption they plan to use� they will never get the job done. Mr. Cometock asaerted th3s did not change the system but it does have a bearing on coat'participation _ and if the City Council would use the design cfs method� it would,�be � necessary to refigure the whole lateral system and arrive at'a different cfs but the pipe size for the storm seWer would remain the seme: Mr. Com- stoclt further asserted this was a tool to reduce the cfe that would be charged and the question is that it appeare to be something 11ke anyone could get together and decide to do something and after it hea been decided to do it, there is a formula arrived at; one party �oes back'and says it can be changed and the cost is changed and this could go on and on. It p ,i 1 �L aj wae,mentioned the Highway Department had come tY�rough with a dtfferent basis of deeign and if they are going to use a diiferent mei,hod, it isn't necessary'to�recheck the figures. . ��� Councilman Johaason suggeeted the City Council could perhaps wait until the State Highway Depe.rtment returns with a new figure. Councilman Wright inquired if tHe'Stste"s revised way was to the benefit of Columbie Ileights, � Mr. Comstock replied it was to the benefit of the Highway ➢epertment, first� then Columbia Heigh�s and if Fridley studied their portion� it could be to their advantage. Mayor Nee suggested the position of Fridley might Ue they woul'd,want to secept this basis of calculation as presented. Mr. Comstock replied,the percentages would probably be close to the same f'igures but the Highway'Department was requesting an appraisal by Fridley. Councilman Wright'inqulred of Mr. Comstock if he eaw this as a move to make a major seving'at,thelexpense of another project. Mr. Comstock replied if the Ci�y Coune3l wanted to answer the Highway Department� they would have to reiigure'the project. $e ata��d they had agreed nothing should be done unlese the City Council wished to pusaue this project in the immediate iutUre as there might be some changes and this one was just another facet.

Mr. Camstock replied the drainage erea� from Columbia Heighte are more extenaive than Fridley's and they have very few �uture laterals tp construct but by changing the design� �- it won't affect the pipe size but would affect the theoretical efs from the pipe.

OTHER BUSIlVESS• � Mayor Nee expl�lned to the Clty Council that even though the Pinance Director hr�d already mailed notices on hearings Yor SS Project #5 he had thought if the City Council explained the matter s 13ttle before they came to the publir hearing and if they had made up a mailing piece that had a duplicatton of the official notice and had o map and drawing of the actual type they were tallcing about and a discussion o£ whet waa involved in the way of costs� need� etc.� thot it might be an advantage� that'thi's could be mailed in advance of the hearing �nd there might be lesa proUlema at the hearing. The Finance Director stated that some of' the lots-,in'queat3on do have escrow monies in them and they had ind3cated to them on these there would be a storm sewer assessment. Mayor Nee statred if tl�e City Council ao wished he could work up such a mailing.

He;stated,he � wished to see 1.he Planning Coffuuisaion handle this matter,with the greatest of speed and further wished to place a moratorium in tihe meantiime��o stop all constructlon of multiple dwellings until thle eoald be done�'tHat he did not know of any other way to �top the type o£ Uuilding at�d Wae willing ta take this chance. Councilman Wright stated the only thing that bothered him was that he felt it would hurt F'ridley's reputation butiiae,was opposed to the so-called rides they had been giving buildera'for a;lOng�tim�. The City Manager explained the builders� according to ordinance conform to the lot size and each unit decreases the amount cf'the lot area arid explained how the amendment now is 10�000 square feet for the first three Vntta built or double bun�;alows� and it still reads 1,500 square feet in'the R-2 and R-3 districts. It was explained how some requirements had beem aeclared illegal by the court� that the present ordinance requires off-atreet�parking but there isn't room for anything else and the more units that are bui;lt�,the less grass area there is for children. Mayor Nee atated he was not sotconcexned with slowing up the 6uilding of aportments as he was concerned'witk�'a bettex grade of building c�nd stated he thou�ght that on the moratorium as long ae bhey could show the matter was in process it should be alear�'th�t,the previoua time this had been done they weren't movin� clearly enovgl�=in"�heir studies and if they were taken � court and the matter �ere aCtive�y',ina'proceas of revamping, this shnuld be satisfactory. Councilmen Johariso[��separted,the plan was� at the preeent time� in the discussion stage and iC,would not take the Planning Co�ission long to-work this out. Councilman'Wright inquired if it were necessary to have an official moratorium. It wasigenerally agreed this was nececsary. Mayox Nee stated, he felt� the queation,was if they , � could stop an,y commitment in the area unt31 they could �et,this problem' ( finalized. Acting City Attorney Feikema explained to the Gity Gouncil „ what any person would use aa arguments ii they were depr3virig him of the lawful use of property.
