NOTES TO THE AGENDA....................... . Amendments to Ordinance 52 Please find to follow the amendments as discussed by the Planning Commission. All the additions are ~~~tJ) while the deleted items are ~__, __ ~o __~_ strioken. Procedurally the meeting is a j oint hearing between the City Council and Planning Commission. Therefore both the Chair of the Planning Commission and Mayor call the meeting to order. When the discussion is completed the Planning Commission must make a motion recommending denial or approval of the Ordinance Amendments. Since the Amendments are just fragments of larger Ordinances it would be appropriate to make one motion for all denials and one motion for all approvals. It is not necessary to separate the actions unless there is a particular amendment that is contentious. After the Planning Commission has taken action the Council must take action with the similar procedure. Gracevie\v Sidewalk Bob Herges and Rick Heid are requesting to relocated the trails in Graceview so that they do not meander through the middle of residential lots. The original plan presented and approved by the Planning Commission showed the trail system in the front yards of some . residences. However, after construction of the homes and viewing the placement for the trails, some of the residents have expressed concern with trails near their front windows. Bob and Rick are proposing to move the trail system behind the curbs so they do not separate front yards. Since this is a change in the preliminary plat the Council and Planning Commission should act on this request. If you have the opportunity go out to Graceview before the meeting, you can see where the trails will be located if they are allowed to be moved. Please call me if you have any questions. Gracevie\v Callaway Street This matter is for consideration by the Council. The Developers Agreement for Graceview 2 included the provision that a construction road must be constructed to County Road 12l in the area knO\vn as Callaway Street. However, this road cannot be constructed until school is out in 2004. The Developers are willing to contribute their total financial contribution ($ 250 per acre) for all of Graceview Estates and pay an additional contribution ifthe City would consider building the actual road in 2004. Tom Herkinof, Engineer for Herges and Heid, have estimated the road cost to be $ II 0,000. I will be forwarding this information to Joe Bettendorf and he will have more information at the meeting. The Council does not need to decide at this meeting if the road will be built. Rather, Bob and Rick are requesting the Council consider this mater over the next few months and make a determination by March 1,2004. They are asking that the provision in the developer's agreement . requiring the construction road to be re-drafted to omit the road if the City agrees to build the road. If the City does not build the road they are asking to not build a rural section road, rather a road with class 5 for . construction traffic only. The discussion item therefore includes what is the intent of the Council for this road. Again, any action on this matter should be voted on by the City Council and should authorize an amendment to the Developer's Agreement. Tree Preservation A resident on I 6th Avenue SE approached the Council in August regarding the number of trees that were removed during the construction of Liberty Pointe. The resident requested the Council discuss this matter and determine how this could be prevented in the future. Joe Bettendorf has requested the opportunity to address the Council and Planning Commission. Therefore he will be doing so at this meeting. 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 City Council Ordinance Amendments Water and Sewer Access As discussed previously, the proposal in your packet is to use the MET Council fee schedule for determining WAC and SAC Fees. The process has been used since 1973 and is intended to charge a utility access fee based on usage. This matter has been discussed by staff and appears to be the most equitable manner for determining fees. It was discussed if the new fees would deter development and the EDA consultants . indicated it would not as developers view WAC/SAC fees in the same manner as building permit fees. The Cities of Sartell and St. Augusta have already adopted the fee schedule. The Council requested this matter be considered as a public hearing and accept -testimony. Therefore, the St. Cloud Times is doing an information article on the upcoming meeting. The new fee schedule would become effective upon publication. We have shared the new fee schedule with the developers of current projects and have indicated that the City would charge the fee that was in place when the project was submitted for approval. Therefore, the upcoming projects will be charged under the old method. Water Ordinance We have not had time to get the exact Ordinance ready, but the comments from Joe Bettendorf are included in your packet. The Ordinance needs to be amended to require that all residents connect to the municipal water system with 90 days of availability, to remove the access fee portion from the Ordinance and some minor design standards. (Please see the email from Joe Bettendorf) Sewer Ordinance The City of St. Cloud has required that all participating Cities review their Sewer Connection Ordinance, updating the terminology. The revised Ordinance is included in your packet of information. - Minor Consumption The Ordinance needs to be amended to allow the City to charge administratively for minor consumption. We will provide the Council - with this update on Tuesday night. Ordinance 52.07.2 (c) Variance shall review the decision ofthe Board of Appeals and Adjustments within thirty (30) days after notice of said appeal.

S J' h ha . ·th Religiolls . a contractor an eve oper In t. osep , we ve some very senous concerns W1 I the proposed access cbarges fur the City of St. Joseph. To have œt.es so much higher than area. cities will make it increasingly difficult to attract businesses to the city. One oftl1e reasons we can entice businesses to the outst8te area is because the cost of . ,Dc:sìgrrtBflild doing business is lower. and by adopting the same rates .~ the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area for a.c::cess charges it narrows the gap on the cost of the I development. Busincsse$ like ICS1au<an1s and retail rely on ttaffic counts and , population density to determine if a site is suitable, and if you can build for a similar cost in the Twin'Cities as St. Joseph why bui1din St. Joseph.

The busmess park IS only begmmng to take off and the cost ofland there is already too high because of the assessments and development costs. If this new ordinance passes as is proposed) it will force us to look to ather areas to develop business opportunities with lower costs. thereby leapfrogging around St. Joseph. Yours truly, w.
