The City's share for this proposed drainage would be about $12,000.00. MR. MAGNUSON stated that it is not prohibitive in assessing benefited properties - under the new levy laws the County could assess the City for this type of project and he directed that the Council should order an improvement hearing with the individuals who would be involved in this project if that is their wish. On motion of Councilwoman Bodlovick, seconded by Councilwoman Avise, a resolution was introduced "ORDERING AN IMPROVEMENT HEARING FOR L. I.

MEISTER explained the complete report with the figures for the various charges that would be made for these improvements. There was discussion about the cost of the street improvement and the possibility of being able to assess the property to the east for a street usage charge or to come up with another plan for this proposed street. MR. DICK MOORE stated that the Council could deviate from the past policy and that would be not to construct curb and gutter and to maintain the ditches and leave this street as a rural section on the east side which would reduce the cost of the street improvement. The Developer, Mr. Folze and the Council were in agreement that the engineers should refigure the cost of the street improvement for this area using Mr. Moore's suggestion to reduce the cost of the assessments for these two plats.

The Council gave them tentative approval in January if they moved it on School District property - the National Guard did give them the go ahead on using their forces to do the grading on that site on the condition that he gets final approval from the School District - he did get their final approval last Tuesday evening based on giving them the guide lines as to what they are going to do, having the School District covered for liability.

M. to 11:00 P. M. and Saturday, July 23 - 10:00 A. M. to 6:00 P. M., Sunday, July 24 - Noon to 6:00 P. M. Pioneer Park July 16th through the 21st - 6:00 P. M. to 9:00 P. M. Both permits were for selling and consuming. The Chamber would regulate the sale of the beer and the activities in Pioneer Park and he did not feel that they would be attracting the rowdy crowds because of the type of entertainment that would be going on there. COUNCILWOMAN AVISE moved that these beer permits be approved as detailed and the motion died for the lack of a second. On motion of Councilwoman Bodlovick, seconded by Councilman MacDonald, the Council approved the sale and consumption of beer in Lowell Park for July 21 thru 24th at the times listed. Ayes --Councilwoman Bodlovick, Councilmen Kimble and MacDonald Nays --Councilwoman Avise (Mayor Peterson did not indicate a vote) (motion carried) PETITIONS On motion of Councilwoman Bodlovick, seconded by Councilman MacDonald, the Council accepted the petition for the proposed vacation of a portion of South Hemlock Street and set a public hearing at 7:30 P. M. on June 7, 1983. (all in favor) UNFINISHED BUSINESS 1. ORDINANCE "ADDING SECTION 31.09 TO CHAPTER 31 ZONING (Construction and Maintenance of Radio and T. V. Antenna and Supporting Towers). JOSEPH (DODE) SIMONET representing a number of the ham radio operators in the City stated that they felt that it was a pretty good ordinance and they would help to make this ordinance work. He did question the height requirements which were clarified. According to the ordinance they felt that it would require a lot of special use permits and hearings. They do feel that the safety factor is taken care of. DON MC ROBERTS, HBQ Distributor, stated that a 27 foot height tower/antenna is their maximum - they usually are 13 to 27 feet - most of them are no more than 13 feet - eighty percent are thirteen feet or less and the remainder are between thirteen and twenty-seven feet. They are to be competitive with all cable systems and their programming and they will be an over the air system. They feel that the limitation of 20 feet would hurt them sc lewhat - they are not advocating an unlimited amount of height - the cost of such permtx is incurred by their customers which usually runs about $100 and he was informed that it would be $25.00 here. The extra seven feet in some instances could mean the difference of a customer or a non -customer. JIM SPAULDING, 2624 Fairlawn Drive, stated he is chairman of a committee that is developing a model antenna ordinance and this has never been done before. They have been able to develop some objectives, a copy of which he gave to the Council members. He read the items considered in this document. The Special Use Permit cannot be done in a real estate contingency time limit. There is no guide line in the ordinance at all as to when it will or when it will not be issued - this puts the Council as being in an arbitrary position, and this would weaken the ordinance. He asked that the Council reconsider the height limitations for their own interest - what is the most fair and reasonable thing to do and likely to protect the City in the long run from criticism from both sides. • ( 470 May 17, 1983 ,.-.. TOM CROPP, 1504 South Greeley Street, stated that due to the valley terrain it is almost impossible to determine who needs what type antenna in what area and he was concerned about the Special Use Permits and the cost of such permits including the hearing notices. He asked about existing antennas if they would be grandfathered in and MR. MAGNUSON stated that this would only affect the antennas that would be constructed after the adoption of the ordinance. He asked that he have an opportunity to read the ordinanceandsome of the Council felt that they needed a little more time for the second reading of this ordinance. 0n motion of Councilwoman Bodlovick, seconded by Councilman MacDonald, the Council delayed the second reading of this ordinance until the next regular meeting. (all in favor) INDIVIDUALS & DELEGATIONS (continued) FRED EMIL PETTER appeared before the Council regarding the issuance of his Contractor's License. He stated that he was not aware that he need a license or permit for the installation of cabinets and installing vinyl floors. MR. ZEPPER presented to the Council pictures of the work that he has been working on at the Stanely Scheel home and the ads that he is currently running in the local newspapers - the reason that the work was stopped was the various detailed faulty installations and MR. PETTER responded to several of the problems cited by Mr. Zepper. MR. ZEPPER stated that Mr. Petter is currently working on two other projects for which he does not have permits. MR. PETTER stated that he does good work and he submitted a list of jobs that he has done the past season and asked that the Council call or inspect these jobs. MR. & MRS. NICKLEY, 1407 North Martha stated that no permit has been taken out for their job and there is no license - they have been torn up for about six weeks. The Council directed that Mr. Petter work under the supervision of Mr. Allen Zepper for the completion of these two jobs and that he not take on any more jobs until both of these are finished. On motion of Councilwoman Bodlovick, seconded by Councilwoman Avise, the Council directed that Mr. Petter is to satisfactorily complete the work that he has presently started on the two homes, if the home owner allows him, and upon satisfaction to the Council under Allen's supervision,, then the Council would issue a license. Ayes --Councilwoman Avise and Bodlovick and Councilman Kimble Nays --Councilman MacDonald (Mayor Peterson did not indicate a vote on this issue - motion carried) UNFINISHED BUSINESS (continued) 1. AN ORDINANCE REGULATING LAND RECLAMATION - this ordinance deals with filling and there are a number of lots around the City being filled and the neighbors are complaining - this is the mass moving of fill into a given area and the type of material moved in, and the impact on the neighbors. MR. MAGNUSON suggested that the Council have Mr. Shelton check out the minimum amount that should be allowed in this ordinance and the Council was in agreement. MAYOR PETERSON requested that something be added to have existing locations comply with this ordinance - to make it retro-active. 2. 0n motion of Councilwoman Avise, seconded by Councilman MacDonald, the City Attorney made the second reading of an ordinance entitled "AN ORDINANCE ADDING SECTION 38.02 TO CHAPTER 38 NUISANCES, AN ORDINANCE PROHIBITING CONDUCTING AND PARTICIPATING IN NOISY PARTIES OR GATHERINGS?
