72088.5 TO: Mayor and City Council. FROM: Mark Bernhardson, City Administrator�,,. DATE: July 20, 1988 SUBJECT: Administrator's Information MASTER P_LAN_NING - NAVARRE AREA - I have further discussed the work with John Shardlow on Navarre and he will be undertaking within the next two months the necessary inventory of land use information, services, etc. to form the background for the public portion of the study. It should be noted he will additiona� ly durinc- the inventory phase be working to develop the information relat .ve to the requirement for a tax increment district should the City choose, as part of that study, to undertake such a district. This information relates to the number of substandard buildings etc. in the area and the City staff will be providing support in the inventory phase. HIGH_WOOD STORM SEWER - During the week of July 11, 1988 City personnel inspected the private storm sewer line in the Highwood area. Because of the size of the line it is very difficult to deterr,.ine if there are any obstructions. I am currently reviewing the information and will submit further information at the August 8th Council meeting as to whether or not we should televise the line. 1535 BOHNO POINT ROAZ - The property owner has completed sodding of the area and it is anticipated a certificate of occupancy will be completed within the r.�xt month. 353j LYRIC AVENUE - The Ci,-y had issued a second citation to the property owner for ir.operab.e vehicles. (He had previously be(-n put on probation in March for a similar violation.} On July 19th the proper -wner was in Court on another matter relating to a Minnetonk., iolation however, he was able to convince a very over worked Judge to consider both our count and the Mi!netonka violation during the same proceeding. Because of that the Orono City Attorney was placed in a position of having to deal with a case that he had little or no background on the spot and as a result the complainant was given a second probationary sentence and required to clean up the property. The City will be continuing with attempting to get the property cleaned tip and will also be researching what impact, if any, this second probationary ticket had on the initial one.. 1429 B_OIiN_S POINT - The property which has been undergoing continual construction for a considerable period of time has not reached a point at which they would be required to come in for variances if at the point that they do, proper proceedures will continue to be fo`.lowed to assure they meet requirements of the City.
