Storm Sewer will be as follows:
$3.45/L.F. Concrete Curb & Gutter
$1.53/S.F. Driveway Aprons
$0.051/S.F. Storm Sewer
The Engineer then submitted the Preliminary Assessment Roll for the 1981
Street Light Project. He explained that the properties were divided into
two categories, single family residential use as one and all other uses
as the second category. The charge per foot for the other uses was computed
at 1-1/2 times the residential rate. He went on to explain that when the
public hearing was held last year, they had used the zoning map to compute
the assessments but that some of the properties that are zoning commercial
have residential uses at this time. So the assessments were changed to
reflect the residential uses in commercial. areas. The Council questioned
this and suggested that the Staff check with the City Attorney before
the assessment letters are sent out. The Council also discussed the
possibility of assessing additional amounts when the property is changed
and used fora commercial purpose.
Ulrick moved and Swenson seconded the following resolution.

IMPROVEMENT BONDS TO COVER THE COST OF COUNTY ROAD 110 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
The City Manager explained a memo submitted by the Finance Director. That
memo states that the City has $209,097.53 of expenses at this point. The
City Engineer has estimated an additional $7,200.00 to cover any remaining
costs, exclusive of easements which he is estimating to be approximately
$75,000.00. Therefore, the total project cost is $291,297.53 of which
$173,800.72 is to be assessed. The balance is to be born by the City.
The City now has a cash deficit of $178,269.92 and this will be increased
by the cost of the easements and the additional $7,200..00, bringing the
cash deficit to $260,469.92. (This total does not include the Peabody Road

given to allow a boat storage warehouse to be built by Jerry Rockvam in
a B-2 Zoning District.
The City Attorney has advised that a Conditional Use Permit cannot be
given to allow this. The only way to allow a boat storage warehouse would
be to amend the Zoning Ordinance.
This information was given to Mr. Rockvam.
No action was taken.

The City Manager suggested that Section 55.38 of the Sign Ordinance be
amended to allow administrative approval for temporary signs. Some of
the rules governing the issuance of Temporary Sign Permits might include:
they will not be up more than 2 months; that they conform to the existing
sign ordinance in terms of set-backs, sign size, etc. The Mayo r
suggested allowing a temporary sign for 6 months and Councilmember Ulrick
