Aronson Bluff Preliminary and Final Plat Warren Isrealson of KJ Walk, Inc. requested Council approval of the Aronson Bluff preliminary and final plat, consisting of 33 single - family lots on property located east of Aronson Park, south of 202 Street, west of Hamburg Avenue and north of Hartford Way. Mr. Morey presented the planning report for Aronson Bluff. He explained that 202 Street (CSAH 50) is a county road, and Dakota County controls the access spacing guidelines for this roadway. Because only limited access is allowed, staff is recommending construction of a temporary cul -de -sac (turn- around) at the north end of Hampton Avenue, with an emergency access onto County Road 50 controlled by a locked gate accessible only to emergency vehicles. When County Road 50 is upgraded in the future to a four -lane divided roadway, this temporary access would be converted to a permanent right -in, right out. The Dakota County Plat Commission reviewed the proposal and recommends approval of the temporary emergency access as requested. Mr. Morey also explained that the developer is proposing to swap approximately 3,118 square feet of City -owned property in the southwest corner of Lot 17, Block 1 with the same amount of land to be incorporated into Outlot A adjacent to the rear yards of Lots 11 and 12, Block 1. This land swap will provide the needed area to satisfy the minimum lot area requirements and provide an increased buffer area between Aronson Park and the rear yards of Lots 11 and 12, Block 1. Council member LaBeau suggested the use of knock -down piers instead of a locked gate at the County Road 50 emergency access. Mr. Morey stated the design of this temporary access has not yet been determined, and staff will work with public safety personnel as the plat progresses to finalize the design. Council Member Davis also questioned the use of a locked gate and suggested that staff explore other options. Mr. Mielke pointed out that in addition to providing access for public safety, the barrier must also be designed to adequately allow for snow removal. Motion was made by Davis, seconded by LaBeau to approve Resolution No. 13 -59 approving the preliminary and final plat of Aronson Bluff. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes - Little, Anderson, LaBeau, Davis City Council Meeting Minutes, June 17, 2013 Page 4 8. Amendment to the Position Classification and Pay Plan Mr. Mielke presented a proposed resolution amending the position classification and pay plan. He explained that a market study was completed for non -union positions to ensure that the City continues to attract and retain talent by offering competitive wages and benefits. To complete the study, staff compared benchmark positions and benefits with survey data from both public and private sector sources. Upon review of the study data, staff recommended alterations in pay ranges for six positions. The Personnel Committee reviewed the proposed changes and recommends approval of the resolution. All together, the changes would impact the budget by $12,399. Motion was made by LaBeau, seconded by Davis to approve Resolution No. 13 -60 amending the position classification and pay plan. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes - Anderson, LaBeau, Davis, Little 9. Unfinished business Council Member LaBeau asked about pavement repair at the Highview/ 190 Street intersection. She also raised a concern with the increased volume and speed of traffic on 190 Street due to the Dodd / Highview detour. Mr. Petree stated improvements to the intersection have been delayed due to the wet weather and will be made in the upcoming month. Dust control is normally accomplished by the end of May, but the wet spring has delayed applications across the area, and it is now scheduled for the first week of July. Mr. Mielke pointed out that these local roads are signed for local traffic only and suggested the Police Department monitor this area, particularly for speeding. 10. New business none 11.
