Community Development Director Larry Remmen advised that the proposed annexation was initiated by petition signed by 100% property owners and recommended the annexation. Mr. Remmen acknowledged receipt of a letter by Attorney Patrick Kenney, representing Lakeview Township. Patrick Kenney appeared before the Council and spoke in opposition of the procedure being used by the City for this annexation stressing that the Municipal Board should be involved in this annexation whereby all the necessary factors are considered. He informed the Council that Lakeview Township also has environmental concerns because the property in question is along the Pelican River on Highway 59 South which is a very fragile area. Community Development Director Larry Remmen advised that the annexation procedure is used multiple times by the City and many other communities in the State of Minnesota. Mr. Remmen also advised that if the City Council approves the property owner’s Planned Unit Development, they will make a determination if an Environmental Impact Statement is required. There being no further comments, the Mayor closed the hearing at 5:16 P.M. and reconvened the regular Council Meeting.

Upon the recommendation of the Community Development Committee, a motion was made by Alderman Anderson, seconded by Alderman Brenk and carried, without a dissenting vote, introducing, for its first reading, an ordinance annexing 58 acres abutting on the City of Detroit Lakes limits at the westerly boundary at River Hills.

Pursuant to notice having been published in the official newspaper that a public hearing would be held to hear comment on the proposed annexation of 4.37 acres of land abutting on the City of Detroit Lakes limits at the easterly boundary by Randolph Road, Mayor Buboltz called the hearing to order at 5:16 P.M. Community Development Director Larry Remmen advised that the proposed annexation was initiated by petition of 100% of the property owners and recommended the annexation. There being no further written or oral comments, Mayor Buboltz closed the hearing at 5:18 P.M. and reconvened the regular Council Meeting.

Upon the recommendation of the Community Development Committee, a motion was made by Alderman Anderson, seconded by Alderman Brenk and carried, without a dissenting vote, introducing, for its first reading, an ordinance annexing 4.37 acres of land abutting on the City of Detroit Lakes limits at the easterly boundary by Randolph Road.

The Mayor called to order a hearing at 5:18 P.M. to consider the matter of a reported nuisance at 1158 Minnesota Avenue. Building Official Calvin Mayfield advised the Council that the property owner has not cleaned up the property. There being no written or oral comments, Mayor Buboltz closed the hearing at 5:18 P.M. and reconvened the regular Council Meeting. A motion was made by Alderman Anderson, seconded by Alderman Hannon and carried, without a dissenting vote, that the City Council finds that a nuisance exists in violation of City Code Chapter 901 at the property location set forth above due to the accumulation of debris i.e. two refrigerators, broken storm door, window air-conditioner, couch, recliners, rugs, clothes, grill, pillows and a single car garage full of junk at 1158 Minnesota Avenue, that the nuisance was not terminated or abated by the property owner after notice and order to do so duly given by the City; that the City shall abate the nuisance at 1158 Minnesota Avenue.

Police Chief Kelvin Keena introduced Ann Watson, the new Records Technician for the Police Department.

Pursuant to the recommendations of the Planning Commission which were submitted to the City Council, a motion was made by Alderman Aune, seconded by Alderman Anderson to approve amending the conditional use permit for a 42-unit Planned Unit Development/Grandview subject to the following conditions:

1) That all of the previous conditions remain in force;

2) That all buildings be set back 30 feet from the perimeter;

3) That a 44 foot wide road and utility easement be dedicated on a plat on the south side of Sunrise Lane;

4) That the Developer submit a final plat for approval; and

5) That the number of boat slips on Big Detroit be reduced from 59 slips to 22 slips. (Ten slips for the lots in Grandview First Addition and 12 slips for the PUD.)

Upon Mayor Buboltz’s request, Community Development Director Larry Remmen briefly explained that the amendment to the conditional use permit allows townhomes consisting of 4-9 units rather than twin homes consisting of 42 units. Mr. Remmen advised that the Community Development Committee did not come to a consensus relative to the number of boat slips. Al Keller, 2521 19^th Avenue, St. Cloud and the person purchasing Grandview, appeared before the Council stressing that by building townhomes rather than twin homes will create more green space and spoke in favor of keeping the 59 slips. Alderman Imholte spoke in favor of allowing 22 boat slips. Aldermen Brenk and Zeman spoke in favor of allowing the original 59 slips because of the gained green space if townhomes were built. Don Busker, the present owner of Grandview, reiterated that the only time a boat slip will be put in is when a property owner makes the request. Alderman Tucker spoke in favor of the Planning Commission’s recommendations stressing it was a good compromise to allow the 22 slips. Alderman Hannon advised that the Community Development Committee added a sixth condition that only land owners may use the dock slips and no rentals or selling of the dock slips would be allowed. There being no further discussion, Mayor Buboltz called the question and the motion carried, including the Condition No. 6 stating that only landowners in the Grandview Subdivision and Planned Unit Development were allowed to use the slips and no sales or rental of slips is permitted, with four dissenting votes (Aldermen: Aune, Heltemes, Zeman and Brenk).

Pursuant to the recommendations of the Planning Commission which were submitted to the City Council and upon the recommendation of the Community Development Committee, a motion was made by Alderman Tucker, seconded by Alderman Anderson and carried, without a dissenting vote, approving the issuance of a parking variance for Menard, Inc., allowing 430 to 450 parking spaces instead of the 711 spaces required by the Zoning Ordinance at 615 Airport Road.

Alderman Tucker, Chairman of the Planning Commission advised the Council that the Planning Commission recommended approval of a 60 foot setback variance from the ordinary high water mark allowing a porch addition and a front and side yard variance for construction of a garage at 1244 East Shore Drive subject to the following conditions:

1) That the stormwater run-off from the house and garage be treated on the site;

2) That the impervious surface coverage not exceed 29%;

3) That the project be constructed as shown on the approved site plan;

4) That the owner obtain any required Pelican River Watershed District Permit;

5) That the 8 foot by 30 foot storage bin be removed from the site prior to issuance of a building permit; and

6) That the asphalt area on the west side of the garage be removed and replaced with previous pavers.

After a lengthy discussion and upon the recommendation of the Community Develop-ment Committee, a motion was made by Alderman Tucker, seconded by Alderman Hannon to deny the request of Paul Gioque for a front and side yard variance allowing him to construct a garage and three season porch at 1244 East Shore Drive because it did not meet the string test and is closer to the lake than the neighboring homes. Paul Gioque, 1244 East Shore Drive, stressed that by allowing the variance, the impervious surface would be only 32% and it would correct water issues. Alderman Brenk spoke in favor of granting the variances. Flynn Wienckowski, 1250 East Shore Drive, neighbor of Mr. Gioque, spoke in favor of granting the variance. Dick Alsop, representing the Lake Detroiters, stressed that the impervious surface regulations is no more than 25% and these guidelines should be followed. Mayor Buboltz then called the question and motion to deny carried with three dissenting votes (Brenk, Heltemes, Zeman). Alderman Tucker stressed that he voted for the denial because of the porch being too close to the lake. He suggested that that Mr. Gioque may want to resubmit his request to the Planning Commission as the impervious surface, water issues and side variances can be worked on.

Upon the recommendation of the Community Development Committee, a resolution was introduced by Alderman Brenk, who moved its adoption, setting a public hearing for the proposed vacation of a portion of Shorewood Drive for 5:00 P.M., October 4, 2005. The motion for the adoption of the resolution was seconded by Alderman Anderson and carried without a dissenting vote. The Mayor declared the resolution adopted.

Pursuant to the recommendation of the Community Development Committee, a motion was made by Alderman Tucker, seconded by Alderman Imholte to defer action on the approval of the final plat of Deerwood Park until the regular October Council Meeting so a meeting with the Developer can be scheduled to discuss the possibility of extending water and sewer to the area and possible annexation. The motion for the adoption of the resolution was seconded by Alderman Imholte. Don Lefebvre, the Developer, spoke in opposition to delaying the approval of the final plat because it would cause him undue hardship. Alderman Imholte expressed his concern on approving the final plat before an agreement can be worked out regarding extending utilities and annexation plans for Deerwood Park. Aldermen Brenk and Zeman were opposed to delaying action and made a motion to amend the motion to give approval to the final plat of Deerwood Park. The motion to amend was seconded by Alderman Zeman and carried with four dissenting votes (Heltemes, Anderson, Hannon, Imholte). Mayor Buboltz than called for a vote on the amended resolution approving the final plat of Deerwood Park contingent upon the developer paying the $5,000.00 park dedication fee prior to the City signing the plat and it was adopted with four dissenting votes (Heltemes, Anderson, Hannon and Imholte).
