Staff announcements: There were none. Citizen comments: Steve Johnson asked when the Brackett's Crossing PUD is going to be on the council agenda for final plat and development stage approval.

(Council Consent Agenda attached hereto is incorporated by reference and specif ically made a part thereof.) Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Sindt, Enright, Harvey, and Nelson. At this time Glen Nord, representing the developers of the Northwood Addition, addressed the Council indicating that the purchasers of the five lots in the plat find it difficult to come up with the Letter of Credit from a bank due to the cost for the letter and the reluctance of the bank to issue it. Mr. Nord suggested that the Council agree to accept the first • 4r LAKEVILLE CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 6, 1986 mortgage from each of the lot owners on their property as financial security for the first two years payment of principal and interest on the assessments for public improvements neces- sary to develop Northwood Addition. The City Administrator explained that the City Attorney's off ice, Mr. Patrick Farrell, had called in the morning concern- ing the request and that it was their opinion that the City should avoid this type of financial security for public improve- ments. At this time Mr. Nord requested the matter be tabled to the October 20, 1986, Council Meeting to allow the developers to explore other means of making the improvements or posting the financial security. 86-405 Motion by Sindt, seconded by Harvey to table action on the final plat of Northwood Addition to October 20, 1986, Council Meeting and to receive the feasibility study for the making of the public improvements in the Northwood Addition from Donohue and Associates. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Enright, Harvey, Nelson, and Sindt. At this time Mr. Jeff Roos presented the preliminary plat of Jewel Acres on behalf of the Harsted Company. Mr. Roos indi- cated that the developer had no problem meeting the recommenda- tions of the Planning Commission and the City Staff; however, they did wish to request the Council to consider other ways for the developer to pay money toward the future improvement of County Road 46, rather than have to post it all as an escrow amount upon approval of final plat. The City Administrator suggested that another alternative might be the requirement in the development agreement for the devel- oper or builders to pay road-access charge on a per-lot basis at the time a building permit is issued for each lot, with the understanding that the entire access charge for the plat would have to be paid by the time County Road 46 improvement is scheduled to start, which is expected to be 1990 or 1991. There would also have to be provisions for the per-lot cost to increase each year between now and 1990 to ref lect inf lation in road construction costs. 86-406 Motion by Sindt, seconded by Enright to approve the preliminary plat of Jewel Acres. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Harvey, Nelson, Sindt, Enright. 2 • • LAKEVILLE CITY COUNCIL ' OCTOBER 6, 1986 At this time the Acting Mayor opened the public hearing on the assessment on the 86-1, Valley Park 8th Addition, Phase 3C.

Ayes, Enright, Sindt, Harvey, and Nelson. At this time the City Council heard the City Engineer's response to the questions raised by some of the property owners involved in the Holyoke Streetscape project as to why the final cost exceeded the earlier estimates for their property for the improvements. Mr. Nelson indicated that the street lighting system on Holyoke Avenue was constructed on both sides of the street and the preliminary report was first written with a street lighting system that would be on only one side of the street. The City Administrator explained that the decision to increase the street lighting to both sides of the street was made because of the fact that street lighting did exist on both side of Holyoke Avenue from the old post off ice to the 207th Street area. The decision was made as a result of the public improvement hearing in 1985. Mr. Patrick Wren criticized the consultant and city for the higher cost for the street lighting and the decision to increase it. Mr. Harvey Kuehne indicated his dissatisf action with the increase of cost on his property. Councilman Harvey pointed out .that one of the parcels of property owned by Mr. Kuehne is presently not used for commer- cial purposes and that the difference between the residential and commercial rate for that parcel should be deferred until the parcel is actually used for commercial business. 86-409 Motion by Harvey, seconded by Enright to adopt the remaining assessments on Project 85-3, presented by the City Engineer with the exception of parcel 090-10 which is to receive a deferment on the cost difference between the residential and commercial rate for the Streetscape, street lights, and curb and gutter 3 LAKEVILLE CITY COUNCIL ' OCTOBER 6, 1986 portion of the improvements of the assessments on 090-10 reduced from $2,952.80 to $671.40 with the remainder def erred without interest until the property is developed commercially.

At this time the Council took up the report for Mr. Nelson concerning the questions and objections raised by property owners involved in Project 84-2, Truck Highway 50, County Road 5 improvement. Mr. Jerry Wicklund addressed the Council and stated that the City utilities were extended across Truck Highway 50, his residential property at the corner of 176th Street, for the convenience of the City and State so that the highway would not have to be cut in the future when the city utility system needed to be extended in that area. For that reason, he felt the City should send a letter to the County Assessor indicating that the utilities were there for the convenience of the City and not because he had requested them or to serve his property at this time. Council directed the Administrator to prepare a letter to the County Assessor advising him of the reason the utilities were extended across Highway 50 at this time as it pertains to Mr. Wicklund's property. 86-410 Motion made by Sindt, seconded by Enright to adopt assessments on parcels of property as outlined in Mr. Nelson's report of September 30, 1986 for Trunk Highway 50, County Road 5 Project, property owned by Squire, Blanchard, Wicklund, Cross, three parcels owned by Hoppe.

He pointed out that the assessment notice was mailed to Dallas Development on September 19, 1986.
