agreement with Mr. Rask at that site.
Councilmember Ahrens stated it also included that Mr. Rask was not necessarily guaranteed that
he would have a slip at the Pembrook location for that size of boat.

1. Mark Hanus, 4446 Denbigh Road
Councilmember Hanus stepped down from this discussion and cons'~eration.
Brown moved and Ahrens seconded the following resolution:
RESOLUTION ~)9-67
RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A CONSTRUCTION
ON PUBLIC LANDS PERMIT FOR MARK HANUS
AT ~.4~.$ DENBIGH ROAD, LOT 1, BLOCK 1,
AVALON, DOCK SITE # 33525
Councilmember Ahrens asked why the Council was reviewing a public lands permit for
top dressing and rip rapping, noting the Council had not reviewed this type of permit
before.
The Building Official stated this is correct and stated that this was his opinion as well.
However, since the fire ring was included, it was presented to the Council.
Councilmember Ahrens stated if the Council was to start reviewing that issue, it would
involve review of many permits which included top dressing. The Building Official
stated this was only presented due to the inclusion of the fire ring. He stated that he
appreciated this clarification from Council and the allowance for staff to use their
discretion with these cases.
The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
Councilmember Hanus returned to his chair on the City Council.
1.8 REVIEW: PUBLIC LANDS PERMITS.
2. Ed Gordon, 4737 Island View Drive
Councilmember Hanus stated he found the fourth Whereas to be confusing for future
reference and believed it may raise a question in someone's mind relating to traversable
area. He requested a language clarification as follows:

1.9 REVIEW: PUBLIC LANDS PERMITS.
3. Maria Amplatz, 2845 Cambridge Lane
Councilmember Weycker asked what the planting will be and requested a condition that the
plantings be approved by the Building Official and City Planner.
Mayor Meisel noted the list of plantings included in the Council packet. Councilmember
Weycker stated she is unaware of some of the planting types or compatibility.
The Building Official noted the attendance of Ann Amplatz and stated she was able to
address that issue at the Dock and Commons Commission meeting and would like the
opportunity to explain it to the City Council.
Ann Amplatz, 2845 Cambridge Lane, applicant, stated she spent a lot of time with landscape
people to look at the site, slope, existing large oak trees, and it was concluded it would be
an ongoing experimental process since no one knows what plants will take root and grow
quickly. She stated the list she prepared was draftedby Otten Brothers Nursery who also
viewed the hill. She stated the hill faces south/southwest and is very steep with nutrient
poor soils. Ms. Amplatz stated she is trying to eliminate the poison ivy and would like a
natural tropical appearance with large flowers and leaves, planted in drift configuration. Ms.
Amplatz explained how they will be experimenting with plantings to see what works best.
The Building Official stated staff does not have a lot of guidance from the Council, the
procedure manual, or City Code regarding plantings. He reviewed the existing plantings
and explained that at the time of the staff report, Ms. Amplatz had not submitted this
information. The Building Official noted that additional information has now been provided
but Ms. Amplatz would not like this to be a final list so there is some flexibility.
Councilmember Ahrens reviewed her experience with perennial gardening and agreed with
the difficulty in finding the best planting for the soil conditions.
558
MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINUTES- JULY 27, 1999
Mayor Meisel stated she believed the list presented is'very good and asked how detailed the
information needs to be for Council consideration. She asked when staff should be given
credibility to know their jobs and noted that.', residents are investing lo improve the property
and will want the best conditions possible.
Councilmember Hanus suited he does not care what type of plants are used as long as they
grow and look nice.
Councilmember Weycker stated this is a steep slope and if the plantings do not work,
erosion will occur. She stated that since she does not know if these are the appropriate
plantings, she would like review and approval by City staff.
Councilmember Brown and Mayor Meisel commented that Otten Brothers Nursery should
know what would be appropriate. Ms. Amplatz stated she does have information from
Otten Brothers Nursery which identifies the plantings they believe would be best.
Councilmember Ahrens stated her only concern is that the site is windy and some of the
taller plantings may lay down.
The Building Official suggested the applicant be directed to work with staff to assure erosion
does not happen. He noted the Code section will be changed resulting in annual inspections
so he will be able to assure there is no erosion. He commented that Ms. Amplatz has done
a good job.
Councilmember Hanus stated there is more City cost involved with this application since it
would involve staff time for review. However, the Otten Brothers' landscaper has already
done that review. He commented that the added security is minimal but the added City cost
for review will be significant.
Councilmember Ahrens noted that Otten Brothers Nursery does not charge for their review
and recommended free advise from the landscaper be used.
Councilmember Hanus stated the applicant will be spending money for the plantings and
he doubts she is interested in buying something that will die.
Councilmember Weycker noted that City staff will review the matter from a different
perspective to assure erosion is not a problem.
The Building Official suggested staff be directed to monitor the issue and if he sees a
problem with erosion that cannot be worked out with the applicant, additional staff or a
consultant will be called in. He stated he will not expend additional funds unless it is
needed.
Brown moved and Hanus seconded the following resolution with the addition for staff to
monitor:

1.10 COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS FROM CITIZENS PRESENT.
Ed Forliti, Remington Development Company, stated they are attempting to redevelop the trailer
park and throughout this process over the last year they have come across quite a few hurdles
and done some unique things with the property. He explained that one of the problems they
have found is the water supply. He explained the Planing Commission is recommending
approval for the Council's consideration on August 10. He reviewed the number of meetings
he had attended and asked to receive direction prior to August 10 on the status of the water
issue.
Councilmember Brown advised that last night the Planning Commission recommended approval
of the project for rezoning and to provide water service to all the properties on the upper part,
9 buildings within Mound. He explained that one of the problems is that Remington has a
deadline and Minnetrista cannot furnish water until in the spring. He stated he was thinking
about working with Remington to provide water through the spring so their project can proceed.
Mayor Meisel stated she would have a hard time supporting that. She stated she does not object
to providing water but the Council would then need to readdress the WARA development and
the pipe size would also be a problem. She questioned whether Remington would have water
from Minnetrista by spring.
Mr. Forliti stated his understanding that the WARA property will have private wells. He stated
they have a purchase agreement on the trailer court which expires this fall. He stated that with
the time invested in this project, he does not want it to die but it comes down to the water issue.
He stated that many were in support of this project when first presented but now other issues
including water and the composting site have come up. Mr. Forliti reviewed the aspects of the
proposed project and stated they will be adding a lot of amenities into the project.
Councilmember Hanus asked when the project would be completed and water needed for
residents. Mr. Forliti stated it would be nice to have units sold prior to winter weather. He
stated they would like to get approval from both Councils in the month of August and the
relocation issues resolved right afterward so they can start construction in December for
inclusion in the spring preview. Then the rest of the project can be sold next spring/summer.
Councilmember Brown stated the Planning Commission talked about 1200 GPM and if a pipe
is furnished they could finance the project for the piping but if a bigger pipe is installed to tie
56O
MOUND CITY COUNCIL M1NUTE$ - JULY 27, l t~)9
into the eight inch line, it may provide the flow and also provide a loop. He explained how this
could be accomplished.
Councilmember Hanus stated this cannot be addre~ed tonight since the plans have not been
presented but if it is feasible, that would be fine.
Mr. Forliti stated the actual numbers are not in but R would improve the situation. He stated
that ff the water "hurdle" cannot be overcome, then there is no need to clear the other
"hurdles." He stated he would like to find some solufien to this issue.
Mayor Meisel asked if in the future the entire project would be c/xmected to the Mound water
system, or the Minnelrista water system. Mr. For[iff stated to start they want Monnd to run the
water system for the entire project. He stated ff it is acceptable, they would llke to leave it like
that forever. But, ff the Council does not agree, then they could use Mound water until the
another source is available, and then shut off the fa'st system. He noted the City would still
receive higher water pressure, a loop system, and a road improvement.
Counciimemher Hanus asked Mr. For[iti to present these .options at the August 10 meeting so
the Council can consider than.
Mayor Meisel stated with the WARA project aa agreement was not made. Now, Mound is
being asked to serve the Mound homes, or the whole development, or all of it for now with a
change to Minnetrista when it is available. She stated that if she is to agree to provide water
to these lots, the Council needs to consider that they said "no" to WARA. She asked if Mr.
Forliti is willing to shut off the Mound water supply when the Minuetrista water supply is
available.
Mr. Forlifi stated they could leave the entire project supplied by Mound if that is agreeable to
the Council, or they could shut off the Mound supply' when the water is available from
Minnetrista.
Mayor Meisel stated ff water is going to the Remington project, then it should be provided to
the WARA project as well.
Councilmember Hanus stated the RemingtonlMonnd parcels can be differentiated from the
Remington/Minnetrista parcels.
Councilmember Brown stated the ordy difference he sees is that there is water in this area
flowing into a Mound residence and two Minnetrista homes. He stated Mound would have nine.
houses to service either way. Councilmember Brown commented that with the WARA project,
they were asking for a ten inch main to be extended all the way acror~s.
Mayor Meisel stated this is correct but WARA would pay for it, provide a loop system, and shut
it off.
561
MouhrD CITY COUNCIL MiNUTEs - J'UL Y 27, 1999
Councilmember Hanus noted if it was shut off, the loop system would no longer be provided.
Councilmcmber Brown agreed and noted that in the Remington case, the loop would always be
provided.
Councilmember Hanus stated those desi~o~g would be looked at when presented. He noted that
maintenance issues may also be a cone, em.
Counciknember Weyck,? asked ff the project will be completed if only the nine Mound homes
are supplied with water. Mr. Forliti stated they would not.
Councilmember Hanus asked if one side could be completed and rhea the other side completed
liter. Mr. Forliti stated the site is too small to consider as a phased development.
The Building Official asked that any proposaXs from ~ developer be presented to staff far
enough in advance so a recommendation can be prepared.
Mr. Forliti stated they would be looking for review of their current proposal and indication that
ff they provide the loop the City would not have a problem and they would agree to make it part
of the contingency on the final plit to provide the loop. He stated there may be some fine
tuning needed with staff which he believes can be accomplished.
Amy Ferar, 4638 Manchester Road, introduced her husband Paul Corsz-.zo and stated they have
problems with speeding traffic on Manchester Road. She advised that last night they were talcing
a walk and witnessed someone almost being run over by a speeding truck. Ms. Ferar stated the
Police Chief suggested she present a petition from all on her street to get a speed control
mechanism in plice She stated she docs not want to he targeted since she believed a lot of the
speeders were teenagers from Mound. She stated she owned a business and does not want to
be perceived as a troublemaker. Ms. Ferar stated she does not know what the options are to
slow the speed of traffic (speed bumps, stop signs). She requested advice on options that are
viable.
The Acting City Manzger suggested Ms. Ferar talk with the Police Chief to see what can be
worked out to address the speeding problem.
1.11
PUBLIC HEARING: ORDINANCE REVISION SECTION 350:420: REPEALING OF
CITY CODE SECTION 350:420, SUBDMSION 9 & 10 PERTAINING TO NON.
CONFORMING USES TO BE REPLACED BY NEW LANGUAGE.
The City Planner reviewed the proposed language to repeal Sections 9 and 10 and add
language. He stated this language is a change in thc City's policy on how to address
nonconforming structures and the ability for a property owner to place a conforming
addition onto a house without having to go through the currem process of Planning
Commission and Council review. He advised the intent is to follow the practices which staff
562
MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINUTE$- ;YULY 27, 1999
has had over at. least three to four years in its review, consistent with the voting of the
Planning Commission and Council on these specific issues.
He noted the following language change:
~350:420 Subd. 9 Nonconf6rming principal and accessory structures may be
expanded, enlarged, or modified, or coaformi~_ stmt~ures could be added provided
that the use of the parcel is conforming to district regulations, and provided that the
expansion, enlargement, or modification meets the current zoning regulations and no
other nonconformities are created. In the event that a nonconforming structure is
removed, razed, or demolished, all newly proposed construction must meet current
zoning regulations.
Mayor Meisel opened the public hearing at 8:24 p.m.
There being no input, Mayor Me/sel clcsed the public hearing at 8:24 p.m.
Brown moved and Hah_Us seconded the following ordinance:
ORDINANCE NO. 103-1~)
AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING
NONCONFORMING USE CRITERIA BY AMENDING
SECTION 350:420 OF THE MOUND CODE OF
ORDINANCES.
Discussion occurred regarding the proposed language and possible need for
clarification with the following mnendment being offered:
"350:420 Subd. 9 Nonconforming principal and accessory structures may be
expanded, enlar~d, or modified, provided that the use of the parcel is conforming
to district regulations, and provided that the expanded, enlarged, or modification or
court_fO .rr~.. in§ structure could be added, provided that the use meets the current zoning
regulations and no other nonconformities are created. In the event that a
nonconforming structure is removed, razed, or demolished, all newly proposed
construction must meet current zoning regulations.
Brown and Hanus accepted the friendly amendment.
Mayor Meisel asked if site inspection should be required. Harms agreed staff would
need to be co~izant that the survey may not include all structures and also whether
it includes a nonconforming structure and obvious opportunity to correct it.
The Building Official stated staff can do more presite inspections for each building
permit and stiffen the submittal requirements for a building permit. He noted that
a resident may object to a survey submittal requirement and resulting cost but that
may be necessary.
563
COUNCIL MINUTES - .rUL Y 2 7~ 1999
Mayor Meisel agreed it wouid'be;a~nCem if the survey cost is close to the project
construction cost.
Councilmember Ahrens noted the City has had a case where a survey was submitted
for a proposed building but a new survey was not submitted. The Building Offic/al
stated if you can find the lot pins, the survey is considered suitable. He pledged
staff's effort to review a greater percentage of sites and stated that he endeavors to
catch all drainage issues due to concerns that have been expressed.
Councilme~nber Hanus stated this ordinance change will streamline the process and
take those variance cases that historically pass very easily through the variance
process and make it easier for the public, staff, the Planning Comm;~ion, and
The vote was Unal~imously in favor. Motion carried.
1.12 UPDATE REGARDING PROPERTY DAMAGE - ROD pLAZA.
Councilmember Hanus stated he received a letter from Mr. Phza confn'ming that what he said
is true and explaining his action. He explained the issue has to do with last year's super storm
and extensive damage to trees in front of Plaza's property. In order for the City to clean the
trees, they had to have access through Mr. Plaza's property. Mr. Plaza gave permission for
access but then chimed damage to his property and dock. ALso, it is chimed the contractor
damaged his neighbor's patio furniture. This claim was submitted to the City's insurance carrier
but they claimed the City did not have coverage for that type of d~mage. Councilmember Hanus
stated the City resubmitted the claim to the insurance carrier for a second opinion and he
questions why the chim was not submitted to the contractor who is insured.
Councilmember Hanus stated Mr. Plaza sent another letter saying he has made repairs of over
$7,000 and is still claiming the City is obligated to do something. Councilmember Hanus asked
ff the City would pursue resolution or tell Mr. Plaza to seek legal action.
The Acting City Manager stated she was unaware of this matter and requested the opportunity
to work with Mr. Plaza to attempt resolution.
Councilmember Ahrens asked what the $7,000 was spent on. Councilmember Hanus stated Mr.
Plaza submitted cost estimates for the work and asked the correction to be made but when it was
not done, he went ahead and made the corrections himself.
Councilmemher Weycker stated it was her understanding that Mr. Plaza was asked to submit the
claim to the insurance companies of the contractors who did the damage..
Councilmember Hanus noted the resident is giving until August 13 or he will seek legal action.

However, this would make that situation very difficult by limiting the number of slips
allowed.
Mayor Meisel commented them are 14 cities on this lake and they make up the LMCD.
She stated the City needs to become more active and express their comments so they can
be voiced by our representative, Councilmember Ahrens.
Councilmember Brown, Weycker, and Hanus indicated they opposed the amendment.
Mayor Meisel asked Councilmember Ahrens to relay that Mound favors staying with the
1/50 at the I2dCD meeting and to remind the membership of the LMCD that they are
appointed to represent the direction of their City.
Councilmember Hanus asked what would happen if two 40 foot lots were purchased and
combined. Councilmember Ahrens stated this regulation applies to something more than a
single family home.
