PUBLIC HEARING: TO CONSIDER AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT FOR 4831 SHORELINE DRIVE TO ALLOW A "MAJOR AUTO REPAIR"
BUSINESS AS REQUESTED BY RANDY'S AUTOMOTIVE.
The Building Official explained the request. The Planning Commission recommended approval with
certain conditions. Councilmember Hanus questioned the second sentence in the third Whereas of the
proposed resolution which reads as follows: "The permit allows minor auto repair, tire repair, valve
jobs, service maintenance, gas welding and an open sales lot limited to 10 vehicles, 7 of which must
be stored outside of the fence." The Council discussed the sentence. The City Attorney suggested
deleting that sentence from the proposed resolution. The Council agreed.

1.14 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE VACATION OF THE UNIMPROVED OXFORD
LANE LOCATED NORTH OF HANOVER ROAD AND SOUTH OF ABERDEEN ROAD
BETWEEN BLOCKS 5 & 9 IN DEVON.
The Building Official explained the request. He stated that the Planning Commission recommended
denial, but since then the City Engineer has revised his report due to obtaining additional information
and his February 11, 197 memorandum was distributed to the Council. The Planning Commission did
not have this memo when the vacation was considered.
The Mayor opened the public hearing.
KEN JUNKER, 4776 Island View Drive - asked who would get this property if it were vacated?
He had no objection to the vacation.
The City Attorney explained that normally half went to each abutting property owner.
JIM RENNY, 2008 Thorndale Ave., New Brighton - owner of Lots 14-20 on Hanover Lane.
He also spoke for his mother who owns Lots 1-6 on Aberdeen. He had no objection to the
vacation as long as his property and his mothers continue to have access to their property after
the vacation. The Building Official explained that the City Engineer has addressed this in his
February 11, 1997 memo. It would be more feasible to extend Hanover Road west to Devon
Lane, if Mr. Renny's property were to be developed. The watermain is already in place in
Hanover Road and the sanitary sewer could be extended from an existing manhole in Devon
Lane to serve this property. The Public Works Supt. explained that if Mr. Renny wanted to
develop the property he could extend Hanover from where it ends at Oxford Lane.
The Council discussed the fact that the Planning Commission has not reviewed the additional
information and felt they should review this vacation request again.
MOTION made by Ahrens, seconded by Weycker to continue this public hearing to March
4, 1997, and refer the item back to the Planning Commission with the new information
about the utilities and asking for their recommendations. The vote was unanimously in
favor. Motion carried.

Minutes - Mound City Council - February 11, 1997
1.15 COMMENTS & SUGGESTIONS FROM CITIZENS PRESENT.
The Mayor asked if there were any comments or suggestions from citizens present.
STEVE BEDELL, 4801 Shoreline Drive - stated that on January 14, 1997, he appeared before
the Council requesting a 3.2 Beer License which was approved by a 4-1 vote. There were some
questions that he thought were cleared up. He stated he was under the impression that he had
met the qualifications for the License. After that meeting he started buying thousands of dollars
in equipment for storage of the beer. He then stated that at the January 21st COW Meeting
there was discussion concerning more legalities on the qualifications for the 3.2 Beer License.
Following that meeting Mr. Be. dell received a letter dated January 31, 1997, alerting him to the
questions. He stated he still does not know if he has the license or not. He then submitted a
petition signed by 17 people stating that they did not object to the sale of 3.2 beer at his
business. He asked if there was any new information on this matter or how to proceed with
obtaining his license.
The City Attorney stated that Section 810:30, Subdivision 3, Subsection (b) requires that the
applicant receive written consent of at least a majority of the property owners within 500 feet
of the subject property. Apparently that provision was not complied with when the application
was received. It was overlooked when the City Council considered and approved this on
January 14, 1997. In the City Attorney's opinion this provision of the ordinance is
unenforceable and should not be used as a basis in consideration of 3.2 Beer License
applications.
The Council decided to let the approval of the license stand.
MOTION made by Jensen, seconded by Ahrens to direct staff to correct the language in
Section 800:30, Subdivision 3 of the City Code. The vote was unanimously in favor.
Motion carried.
1.16 1996 DEPARTMENT HEADS ANNUAL REPORTS
The following Department Heads presented their 1996 annual reports to the City Council: Jim Fackler,
Parks Director; Greg Skinner, Public Works Superintendent; and Len Harrell, Police Chief.
1.17 REQUEST FROM TONKA BAY MARINA (NEW OWNER OF TEAL POINTE) TO
RELEASE LETTER OF CREDIT ON TEAL POINTE DEVELOPMENT.
The City Manager explained the request. The City Engineer and the City Attorney recommend the
following:
Release all but $15,930.00 of the remaining amount under the Letter of Credit. This
amount will cover the remaining work that is to be completed by Widmer this spring.
Gabriel Jabbour, as owner of the Teal Pointe property must send a letter to Marquette
Bank Mound requesting that the Letter of Credit be released based upon the fact that the
Letter of Credit, with the exception of $15,930.00 is no longer needed.

1.18 REOUEST FROM WESTONKA PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO USE CITY COUNCIl,
CHAMBERS FOR REGULAR SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS TWICE PER MONTH ON
A REGULAR BASIS BEGINNING JULY 1, 1997.
The City Manager explained that the School Board is asking to use the Council Chambers for their
School Board Meetings starting July 1, 1997. This would be a permanent arrangement. The Council
discussed the fact that the School Board would have to reschedule their meetings because they meet on
the same night as the Planning Commission. The Council discussed the following issues regarding the
permanent use of the Council Chamber:

is there need for a staff member to be present to open and lock the building;

The Council asked the Staff to address the issues and concerns and how it would relate to long term use.
They stated they are not against the concept of letting the School Board use the building. This will be
brought back to the Council at a later date after more information is gathered.
1.19 PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT AMENDING SECTIONS 255:05 AND 255:15
OF THE CITY CODE RELATING TO PARK AND OPEN SPACE ADVISORY
COMMISSION AND ADDING A NEW SECTION 256 TO THE CITY CODE
ESTABLISHING A DOCK AND COMMONS ADVISORY COMMISSION.
The City Manager gave the background of this item. This proposal was brought up by Councilmember
Hanus at the first meeting in January and was referred to Staff to prepare the appropriate ordinance
amendments. The City Attorney prepared the draft of an ordinance amendment. The City Attorney
reviewed the proposed ordinance for the Council. He stated that the revised draft is marked as such
with the changes that were suggested. The changes were as follows:
1. Reduce the number of members of the POSC to 6 with 5 to be appointed by the City
Council and one Council liaison.
2. Getting rid of some of the old language regarding start up and phasing in membership.
3. Section 255:15. The allocation of the responsibilities between the two commissions,
POSC and the Dock & Commons Advisory Commission.
95
Minutes - Mound City Council - February I1, 1997
ge
Adding section 256:00 creating the companion commission, the Dock and Commons
Advisory Commission. This was to implement the recommendations that were
considered and approved by the Council at the first meeting in January. This would be
a six member commission, 5 members to be appointed by the City Council and a Council
liaison.
Staging in the initial terms of this commission, all being appointed immediately, but
staggering the length of terms of the commissioners.
The initial appointments shall to the greatest extent possible be made from members of
the Commons Dock Task Force.
An appointee shall be automatically removed from the Commission if they cease to be
active in the City's licensed dock program. This is consistent with the provision that in
order to be appointed, they have to be active in the city's dock program.
Much of the language is the same as the existing Park & Open Space Advisory
Commission Ordinance.
The Council discussed having an even number of members on the proposed commission, including the
Council liaison. The remainder of commissions all have odd numbers to avoid tie votes.
Councilmember Jensen stated that she feels both these commissions should have odd numbers on them.
The Council then discussed the fact that other ordinances may need to be amended if they deal with
docks because they may refer things to the POSC and will need to be referred to the new commission.
The City Attorney suggested putting in another section which would be like a revisor's note indicating
that if, in any other ordinance in the code, a reference is made to a duty of the POSC which has now
been assigned to the Dock and Commons Advisory Commission, it shall be understood that those duties
are changed as a result of this ordinance.
Councilmember Jensen questioned the duties being the same in the POSC and the Dock & Commons
Commission. She stated this has a potential for overlap. Councilmember Hanus stated that those are
not issues to be dealt with, it is a public policy that has been published. Councilmember Jensen stated
she finds it confusing because it is in the section under their Duties.
The City Attorney suggested the following wording be added:
"Whenever the term Park & Open Space Advisory Commission (POSC) is used in this code of
ordinances with respect to a duty to be assigned to the Dock and Commons Advisory
Commission, it shall be understood that the use of the term Park & Open Space Advisory
Commission relates to the Dock & Commons Advisory Commission."
This will not appear in the Code Book. It will not appear anywhere, except as a direction to the City
Clerk.
Councilmember Weycker expressed concern over the phrase "public shoreline" in the proposed
ordinance. She asked if this includes the dedicated commons? Councilmember Hanus stated that if
there are city licensed docks there, it should apply. The City Attorney stated that was done so you
would read the two concepts together, public shoreline which is subject to city docks, so if it is a
publicly dedicated shoreline, which is part of the dock program, then it would come within the purview
of this ordinance. If it was privately dedicated commons, it would not. Nor would it come within the
purview of the ordinance if it were, for example, Canary Beach, which is a public shoreline but it's not
within the dock program. Commons that are dedicated to the neighborhoods and not public dedications
would not be within this ordinance. The City Attorney suggested removing the word "public" from the
96
I II
Minutes - Mound City Council - February 11, 1997
two places in the ordinance it appears. The Council agreed.
Couneilmember Weyeker stated she has a problem with the whole ordinance.
MOTION made by Jensen, seconded by Weycker to amend the proposed ordinance Section
255:05 to read as follows: "Composition. The Park and Open Space Advisory Commission
shah consist of seven members. Six members shall be appointed by the City Council.
Section 256:05 to read as follows: "Composition. The Dock & Commons Advisory
Commission shall consist of six members._ Seven members (to be composed of four inland
and three abutting property owners." The vote was 2 in favor with Ahrens, Hanus and
Polston voting nay. Motion fails 3-2.
Hanus moved and Ahrens seconded the following ordinance amendment as proposed and amended by
the City Attorney:
ORDINANCE #84-1997
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 255:05 AND
255:15 OF THE CITY CODE RELATING TO PARK AND
OPEN SPACE ADVISORY COMMISSION AND ADDED
SECTION 256:00 TO THE CITY CODE ESTABLISHING A
DOCK AND COMMONS ADVISORY COMMISSION
Councilmember Weycker stated - She would not vote for this restructuring for the following
reasons:
1. "When the Commons Task Force was established, Councilmember Jensen raised
concerns about the biased make-up of the Commons Task Force and the skewed nature
of their possible recommendations. At the same March 20, 1995, meeting, Mayor
Polston and Councilmember Hanus both assured her that the Commons Task Force would
take its recommendations to the POSC and Mayor Polston also suggested a public hearing
at the Council level or arranging public forums. All, I believe, were intended to assure
that public input to ideas brought up by a select group. But, here we are trying to make
this task force a permanent body without the public or the POSC input.
"Mr. Hanus' proposal states one of the conditions to be past irritations with the POSC.
The Park Commission continually voiced concerns over the uncertainty of duties
between them and the Commons Task Force. They went as far as passing a resolution,
August 8, 1996, demanding that the City Council clarify their duties or abolish the Task
Force. They also showed up at the August 20, 1996, Committee of the Whole Meeting,
raising concerns about lack of communication with their Council Representative, Andrea
Ahrens. The Council Minutes show that there was, 'No consensus on what to do with
these concerns and the Council then moved on to the next item on the Agenda.' The
record clearly shows that the POSC was given no answers to their questions. In fact, they
were wasting their time on public land permits because they were told if they denied the
permit and the applicant contested that denial, the permit would be temporarily granted
anyway, pending the Commons Task Force recommendations. The Park Commission
volunteers did not deserve this lack of respect."
"I do not wish to diminish all the work the Commons Task Force did. I agree with most
of the concepts they came up with. The Parks Commission also agreed with them and
had minor changes after hearing and discussing part of the recommendations. They were
97
Minutes - Mound City Council - February 11, 1997
still addressing the section on encroachments. That presentation of proposed changes,
a month or so ago, was the first to be presented to the Parks Commission since the
Commons Task Force was formed in March of 1995, almost two years ago. The City
Council continues to say it always intended the Task Force to report their ideas, first,
to the POSC. But reporting to the POSC, does not make any group inferior. It just
follows procedure and ordinances that are currently on our books."
"I find that the make-up of the POSC, as it is, represents Mound's public. Two of the
current members, who also use the commons dock program, have 20 years of combined
knowledge and experience in dealing with these issues as well as other park issues.
Three of the POSC are also members of the Commons Task Force and three of the
members also participate in the commons dock program."
In January three people applied for a single advertised open seat. The POSC is not as
out of touch as Mr. Hanus' proposal makes it out to be. It was the City Council who
had the opportunity to implement ideas from a mediation group in my neighborhood of
Woodland Point. After ten weeks of mediation meetings, the Council chose not to adopt
the mediation agreement of the neighborhood group, but rather a page of demands from
the six people that sued them. The action by the POSC was never involved or resulted
in any loss of commons in my neighborhood. Mr. Hanus' proposal does not accuse the
POSC of this perse, but he thinks that his proposed restructuring could have prevented
this."
"I would like to see the Commons Task Force stay a task force. I agree with Mr. Hanus
that we should have a sounding board to hear complaints and ideas from dock program
users. That was the reason the task force was formed. It should then report to the
POSC made up of a publicly diverse group and then to the City Council. In Mr. Hanus'
letter to the editor, dated March 31, 1996, he says exactly this. To quote, 'This is the
way it was set up. This is how it is now and this is how it should be. No one is
bypassed and everyone has ample opportunity for comment and debate.'"
"I strongly urge this Council to vote against this proposal and follow through on the fair
input you told the public you were creating."
The vote on the proposed ordinance was 3 in favor with Jensen and Weycker voting nay. Motion
carried on 3-2 vote.
The Council is still expecting a recommendation from the POSC on the encroachment policy.
The following letter from Tom Casey, Chair, Park & Open Space Commission, was entered into the
public record:
"Mound City Council
c/o Ed Shukle
RE: Revision of Park Commission Ordinance - 2/11/97 agenda
Dear Mr. Shukle,
98
I Il I
Minutes - Mound City Council - February 11, 1997
Please read the following comments orally into the public record tonight and include this letter
as part of the written pulolle record.
For the following reasons, I wish to go on record in opposition to the Hanus proposal to amend
the Park and Open Space Commission ordinance.
This is a transparent attempt to remove a political opponent, Mr. Bill Darling, from the
Park Commission by not having any vacant seats for his reappointment;
This is a transparent attempt to "stack the deck" of the Dock and Commons Commission
with people who share the commons philosophy of Mr. Hanus, Mrs. Ahrens and Mr.
Poston;
o
The reduction of Park Commission membership from eight to five members will create
the potential for 3-3 deadlocks (when the vote of the city council liaison is included);
The reduction of Park Commission membership from eight to five members also
diminishes the opportunity for citizens to participate in local government (including the
3 applicants who interviewed for a vacancy on 1/9/97);
The Park Commission presently has decades of collective experience on commons/dock
issues (2 present members have almost 20 years of experience);
o
The Park Commission has spent considerable time reviewing proposed encroachment
policies, a wasted effort if the commons issues where removed from its duties; and
7. Mr. Hanus, in his 8/31/96 letter to The Laker, stated," ..... The procedure adopted by
the city council is that the first place a task force policy recommendation goes is to the Parks and Open
Space Commission for review. Then it is forwarded to the council. This is the way it was set up, this
is how it is now, and this is how it should be. No one is bypassed and everyone has ample opportunity
for comment, debate, and opinion."
In summary, the City Council has no justification for changing the present structure. Constructive
debate and citizen participation will be the victims.
Thank you for your consideration.
Very truly yours,
(signed) Tom Casey, Chair, Park and Open Space Commission"
The Council asked that the Task Force members be contacted to see if they wish to serve on this new
Dock and Commons Commission. If the new commission is not filled out by task force members, then
it will be opened up anyone to apply. The Council would like to have the task force members decisions
before the next City Council Meeting, February 25, 1997.
