<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />October 14, 1986 <br /> <br />Public Hearings, continued <br /> <br />Schmidt commented, as indicated, the action tonight would cover <br />several actions, but rezoning will take two readings. Schmidt <br />further stated that his comment about not having a Development <br />Agreement present this evening was a comment he had made in the <br />past and, as a matter of principle, does not like having to <br />approve anything without having the opportunity to review it. <br /> <br />As there were no further questions or comments from councilor <br />the audience, Williams moved, seconded by Schmidt, to CLOSE THE <br />PUBLIC HEARING. <br /> <br />4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried <br /> <br />Motion by Schmidt, seconded by Williams, to WAIVE THE READING <br />AND HOLD THE FIRST READING ON AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE NEW <br />BRIGHTON ZONING ORDINANCE BY REZONING CERTAIN PROPERTY WITHIN <br />THE CITY OF NEW BRIGHTON FROM R-3A, MULTJPLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, <br />TO B-1, LIMITED BUSINESS; AND TO CONTINUE THE CONSIDERATION OF <br />EXPANSION OF DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. I, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT <br />WITH HARSTAD COMPANIES, MINOR SUBDIVISION RELATED TO HARSTAD <br />OFFICE BUILDING, AND REQUEST TO WITHDRAW APPLICATION FOR LP-200 <br />FOR A TWO STORY OFFICE BUILDING (HARSTAD COMPANIES) TO THE NEXT <br />COUNCIL MEETING. <br /> <br />4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried <br /> <br />Council Business <br /> <br />Proper had nothing further to add to the staff report concerning <br />the continuation of the Lake Diane Restoration Project, noting <br />that no one from the Lake Diane area was present. <br /> <br />Benke questioned the Department of Natural Resource's (DNR) <br />reluctance to approve the permit based on liability fears which <br />basically sets the project back because it kills the bacteria <br />that we are trying to grow, and wondered how realistic that <br />concern is and whether or not the homeowners wish to take any <br />action in terms of convincing the DNR to adopt a more realistic <br />perspective. <br /> <br />Proper indicated the residents are going to stock the lake with <br />fish, which seems to be the loophole. The state legislature <br />(Steve Novak) has taken a look at it and there was no bending of <br />that guideline (it was either fish or no winter aeration); but <br />understands there is some movement to get the DNR guidelines <br />changed so that aeration can be used for water quality and not <br />just for keeping fish alive. Proper stated the guidelines <br />presently do not recognize water quality considerations as <br />important enough to have open water, regardless of the fact that <br />open water areas are snow-fenced and signed. <br /> <br />In response to Benke's question, Proper indicated the people of <br />the industry as well as some commissioners and representatives <br />are working to get the guidelines changed. <br /> <br />Page Ten <br /> <br />Council Business <br /> <br />Lake Diane <br />Report 86-241 <br />Resolution 86-103 <br />
