COMPANY PUBLIC HEARING ?Ei-fl�.S PRESENT Say Senkus, Cathy Buck, Bill Lundquist, Ann Bodlovick, Harry Peterson STAFF PRESE21I' Dennis O'Donnell, Douglas Swenson, Rhonda Thode 0TH=S PRESENT Don Raleigh, Larry Axdahl, Kenneth Brandl, Ken Meister, Barry Stack, Leonard Feely, Lucille Feely, Bob Briggs, Jack Lux, Dr. & Mrs. Wallace, Pastor Gary Swagger CALL TO ORDER Cathy Duck chaired the committee and called the public hearing for the George Olsen Construction Company minor subdivision to order at 5:30 p.m. Barry Stack presented a site plan and half section map showing the area (Lot 7, Block 3, Feely's Addition) that is to be subdivided in an east -west manner. The parcel meets frontage and area requirements. Drainage and utility easements will be provided for as per Mr. Meister's recommendation. Cathy Buck read a letter from Mr. Meister addressed to the committee dated June 21, 1983 (attached). As per Cathy Buck's request, Mr. Meister demonstrated' how the easements would be brought into the two parcels. Bob Briggs stated the reason for the subdivision request is to build an office building on the smaller parcel. They have no need, and would not purchase the land without it being subdivided. There was discussion on the requirements for sprinkler systems. Bob Brigg's stated he was uncertain of what is required for sprinkler systems and stated he did not know what type of building would be going in on the other parcel. He anticipa'Ues another office building or compatible type use. Mr. Brigg's pointed out at some time after the subdivision has occurred it may be determined it is not economically feasible for them to build an office building although it is their intention. Dr. I..allace stated this particular lot was brought before the committee once before ,-hen he requested permission to build an office/home. He was turned down with the rationale a big manufacturing plant may someday be built out there. Dr. Wallace stated the applicants have invested a lot of time and money, and the parcel is large enough_ to make two nice lots. Joint Powers - Minutes George Olsen Const. Co. Public Hearing June 22, 1983 Page 2 Cathy Buck questioned if the street has to be torn up, who would pay the cost of repair if it were put back negligently. Ann Bodloviok stated the City of Stillwater is attempting to keep a close record of what contractop—opens the street and attempt to get them to replace it if its not to the city's satisfaction. There was discussion regarding the street being cut into. Mr. Brigg's stated if it were a restriction the street could not be cut into it would cause him to question whether they would be willing to follow through on their plans. Mr. Meister stated if a manufacturing firm were to be built that would require a lot of water, digging into the street would have to take place to allow for a larger water line. Buck felt a performance bond for security should be required. Mr. Briggs had no objection to this. Mr. O'Donnell stated the performance bond would be taken care of at the time of the Conditional Use Permit. The, public hearing closed at 6:00 p.m. A SHORT-ELLIOTT-HENDRICKSON, INC. CONSULTING ENGINEERS CHIPPEWA FALLS, WISCONSIN ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA • June 21, 1983 Joint Powers Committee Washington County Courthouse 14300 61st Street North Stillwater, MN 55082 RE: WASHINGTON COUNTY JOINT POWERS COMMITTEE OUR FILE LNO. 80054 Attention: Mr. Dennis O'Donnell, Planner Dear Committee Members: Pursuant to your request, we have reviewed the Wallace -Olson minor subdivision of Lot 7, Block 3, Feeley's Addition. Currently, an 8 -inch water service and a 6 -inch sewer service have been provided to this lot. These services could be extended in the boulevard to provide service to both parcels of land in this minor subdivision. This would avoid digging into the street. However, the owners will have to determine if the size of these services are adequate for the type and size of buildings proposed. Ten foot wide utility and drainage easements should be established on all of the lot lines except along Industrial Boulevard, where a 20 foot easement is required. If the services are extended southerly in the boulevard, they should be constructed in this easement. If you have any questions, please contact us. Sincerely, rnneth R.

Ann Bodlovick seconded. Motion carried unanimously. OLD BUSINESS Final approval of Metcalf Minor Subdivision. Barry Stack stated the reason for the delay on the Metcalf subdivision request was a survey problem where some of the corners had been moved by the County Surveyor. That problem has now been resolved. Ray Senkus moved that final approval for the Metcalf minor subdivision be granted subject to approval of the park dedication fee. Ann Bodlovick seconded. Motion carried unanimously. N94 BUSINESS Discussion of Park Dedication Fee for'Mirior Subdivisions. Dennis O'Donnell stated there has been concerns by applicants as to the fee for park dedications in minor subdivisions. According to the ordinance, a park dedication fee of 10% of the market value prior to subdivision is required which could result in substantial sums of money being dedicated. The ordinance does say that the board can waive some of the requirements of a major subdivision. Mr. O'Donnell stated there are three possibilities in the minor subdivisions the committee can examine, they are as follows: 1. Require to dedication of 10% of market value prior to subdivision. 2. Waive the requirement entirely. 3. Come up with a dedication of a certain dollar amount for each lot. Joint Powers - Minutes June 22, 1983 Page 2 Bill Lundquist asked if a park dedication fee was paid when these lots were created. Cathy Buck felt it was the burden of the developer to prove if they had paid a dedication fee. In the case of Olsen Construction Company, the dedication fee had been paid. Don Raleigh felt industrial uses don't require parks and it would be unfair to add this additional burden to industrial and commercial land that ought to be in business to provide appropriate tax revenue. Buck differed with this opinion in that many firms have recreational teams that play in the city and use city parks during their lunch hours. She noted not all these people live in the city. After lengthy discussion Ray Senkus moved that for minor subdivisions in platted areas where a park dedication fee has been paid, whether its commercial, industrial, or residential a fee of $100 per newly created lot be charged. Bill Lundquist seconded. Motion carried with Harry Peterson abstaining. Harry Peterson moved that for minor subdivisions in unplatted areas to charge a park dedication fee of 10% of the market value prior to development in residential areas. Ray Senkus seconded. Motion carried unanimously. There was discussion regarding park dedication fees in industrial and commercial nonplatted areas. Ray Senkus moved it be the Joint Powers policy to charge a $100 fee per lot in those cases where no park dedication fee has been paid in the industrial park. Harry Peterson seconded. Motion carried unanimously. George Olsen Construction Com asI Minor Subdivision. Barry Stack stated they were seeking preliminary plan approval of the subdivision as submitted. Ann Bodlovick moved to approve the preliminary minor subdivision with the utility easements as showm on preliminary plan and that the developer understands there will be a park dedication fee of $100 for the new lot created. Harry Peterson seconded. Motion carried unanimously. Axdahl/Ogren Minor Subdivision. Ray Senkus moved to grant preliminary and final approval to Lhe Axdahl/Ogren subdivision subject to the development agreement containing the following: 1.
