rnnistrator Ron Moorse, Planning Director Mike

followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
Nancy Anderson, 1260 Spruce Place, stated on September 4, 2005, the City's lift station in her
neighborhood failed for the third time in five years bausing a considerable amount of destruction to their
residence. Anderson indicated they do have back flow valves installed at their residence but the valves
were unsuccessful in stopping the flow of sewage into their house. ' Anderson stated the sewage
completely ruined their master bedroom, bath, office, three closets, hallway, and ran into their heating
system and crawl space. Anderson indicated their residence had to be cleaned by an environmental
cleaning crew.
Anderson commented they have resided in their home for the past 32 years and that they did not design or
engineer the City's sewer system and were not consulted about the lift station in their area. Anderson
stated they are required by law to be connected to the City sewer and are required to pay for this service
on a monthly basis.
Anderson stated they experienced their first problems with sewer backing up into their home in 1990 and
in 1992. At that time the City paid for the cleanup and the necessary repairs to their home and the homes
of several neighbors. Anderson indicated in 1992 they installed their first backflow valve system, which
is monitored on a regular basis. Anderson stated they also experienced sewer backups in April 2001 and
June 2003, which the City assumed responsibility for.
Anderson stated despite the reasonable efforts they

(Public'Comments, Continued)
` Moorse indicated the first several times this occurred the City admitted some responsibility for the back-
up of the sewer system, but that since that time the City has installed a SCADA system, which
automatically notifies the City when there is a problem at a lift station. Moorse stated in this instance all
of the City's systems functioned properly and that the Public Works Department arrived at the residence
within approximately one -half hour of the backup. Moorse indicated due to the quickness of the backup,
there was nothing the City could have done to prevent this situation. Moorse stated the City has done a
number of things over the years to try to correct the situation.
Sansevere commented the outcome was still the same regardless of the efforts the City has taken.
Anderson stated they did suggest a backup generator be installed back in 1992 and other times, which has
still not been done.
Sansevere inquired whether the City's insurance company has stated that the City is not accountable for
this. Sansevere stated if that is the case, it is not acceptable.
Peterson commented it is not the individual's private septic system that has backed up into the residence
but rather the City's sewer system. Peterson stated she also has a difficulty accepting the rationale of the -
insurance company.
Barrett stated it is possible the insurance company is claiming they are not responsible due to the .
measures already taken and that it is the responsibility of the City to remedy the situation.
Murphy concurred that the City needs to take steps to see if this problem can be corrected in some fashion
and that the present situation is intolerable. Murphy inquired whether a gate valve has been installed.
Anderson stated they have an older residence and they have now installed a gate valve but it is not fail
proof. Anderson stated having a gate valve is also a major inconvenience because everything needs to be
shut off whenever they leave the residence for a period of time.
Anderson stated her mother lives next door in a four -year old home and she also experienced a small
amount of sewage backup into her basement as well as two other neighbors. Anderson stated
approximately 10 homes have been added to Spruce Street in the last few years.
Murphy commented this is a City system and that the residents are paying for the use of this system.
Murphy stated the inadequacy in the City system appears to be causing this trouble.
Moorse stated the lift station gets overrun, which can result in a backup.
Gappa stated the majority of the City sewer system has been installed after the homes were constructed
and that there are weak spots in the system. Gappa indicated a generator has now been placed at that lift
station but that there still is the potential that this could happen again due to the low elevation of the
residence in comparison to the sewer system. 0

(Public Comments, Continued)
White stated he would like to hear from the
company on this item.
Sansevere commented the homeowner has the right to assume that their sewer system will not back up
into their residence whenever they use the system.i Sansevere stated the City has to be aware of the
possibility that someone who experiences this type of sewage backup could come down with a medical
condition, which would cause a much bigger problem and that the City and the insurance company cannot
turn a blind eye to the situation.
Anderson stated she would like to take care of this"situation as soon as possible.
Murphy inquired what cleanup still has to be
Anderson indicated an environmental cleanup crew called Quantum was called out to their residence the
day the backup happened and that the residence has been gutted. Anderson stated her husband and
nephew are in the process of putting the residence back together.
Peterson indicated the Council was not aware of this situation until tonight.
• Anderson stated the representative from the insurance company was not very helpful and attempted to
place the blame on them for this backup. Anderson inquired what steps she should take to prevent this
from happening again.
Gappa stated the City does have some options they can consider, such as putting in a backup generator or
a new lift station.
McMillan recommended the City look at this particular situation as soon as possible.
Peterson inquired how long it would take Gappa and Moorse to review the City's options to remedy this
situation.
Sansevere requested the City Engineer look at this situation tomorrow and that this item be put on
Tuesday's work session agenda.
Gappa indicated they are in the process of obtaining prices for a new lift station.
It was the consensus of the City Council to discuss this item at their November 15'h work session.
Murphy stated the City would get back to the Anders ons by Wednesday afternoon.
Anderson distributed documentation going back to the 1990's regarding this problem to the Council.

Laurie Esau stated the two major items discussed at the last Park Commission meeting was to request a
joint meeting with the Council and the paving of the Dakota Trail. Esau stated Three Rivers Park has
proposed paving of the trail and half of the Park Commission indicated they were in disagreement with
the paving.
Mayor Peterson thanked Esau for her update.

PUBLIC COMMENT, CONTINUED
Edward Callahan, Orono Woods, 2040 West Wayzata Boulevard, indicated he is pleased with the actions
being taken by the Council regarding the Veteran's Park on Big Island.
Callahan stated he resides in the apartment complex located on Brown Road and Highway 12 and that to
his understanding the Council is in the process of reviewing plans for the adjacent Carlson property.
Callahan indicated it was his incorrect understanding that there would be a public road or service road

located through the adjoining property which would use the driveway of the apartment complex as part of
the public road. Callahan stated he and other tenants of the apartment complex still have concerns with
the road being opened up for other public use other than by the tenants. Callahan stated there is a fair
amount of pedestrian traffic in this area and that iris his view it is inappropriate to allow construction traffic
on that road.
Callahan requested that the Council give serious consideration to limiting construction traffic on that
road.
Murphy stated he has spoken with Mr. Callahan and the City Administrator regarding this situation and
that it is their belief that construction traffic will be limited on that road. Murphy commented in hindsight
the layout of the roadway and parking in that area is not the best design but that it might be too late to
change it at this time.

( #05 -3142 Chapman, Continued)
Gundlach stated the application does meet the intent of the code and does not propose any new hardcover,
-with all setbacks being met except for the setback from the front property line. Gundlach stated this
application was submitted prior to the City's new wetland ordinance taking effect, but noted that the
applicant is in compliance with the new rules.
The Planning Commission, on a motion to deny, voted 4 -1, with the dissenting commissioner stating
support for a 10' by 10' shed pending removal of equal amounts of hardcover. The main issue discussed
during the public hearing was the trading of nonstructural hardcover for structural hardcover and the issue
of the applicant wanting to install steppingstones rather than a full paved sidewalk.
Gundlach stated the minimum standard for a sidewalk width is two feet. The applicants would like to
install steppingstones, which total 22.5 square feet and account for a reduction of 97.5 square feet of
existing sidewalk hardcover. Based on the length of sidewalk, if constructed to the minimum width of
two feet, the sidewalk hardcover would equal 51.5 square feet or account for a reduction of 68.5 feet of
existing sidewalk hardcover.
Chapman stated the two -foot sidewalk would allow a shed consisting of 118.5 square feet in area or
approximately 10 by 12'.
Staff recommends that the Council discuss the policies of trading non - structural hardcover for structural
hardcover and weigh that discussion against the reasonableness of the request.
Sansevere inquired whether the applicant has seen Staff's recommendation.
Chapman stated he has reviewed Staff's report.
Sansevere inquired whether the applicant is okay with the second recommendation.
Chapman stated he is okay with the recommendation. Chapman indicated he has recently found out that
the front of his yard is really defined as the front lot line and that the City owns the strip of property going
to the lake.
Sansevere stated he would be willing to go along with recommendation two.
White indicated he also concurs with recommendation two.
Chapman stated he is thrilled to live in this area and has paid a substantial amount of money for the
property and that he would like to place one 12' by 12' shed on the lot, which in his opinion is reasonable.
Murphy inquired why the applicant did not consider adding onto the residence.
Chapman stated they did consider that but that the shed would accommodate their needs and take up less
space than a third stall on the garage.

( #05 -3142 Chapman, Continued)
Murphy stated his main concern dealt with the sight lines across the street.
Chapman stated he has spoken with that neighbor and that the neighbor is fine with the proposal.
Murphy commented the lot is unique and that he is not opposed to the second recommendation of Staff of
a 10' by 10'shed if the shed resembles the house.
Murphy noted the lot to the west has a dock on it with a jet boat parked next to it.
Chapman stated there is a 30 -foot driveway goingtown to the lake and there is an easement down to the
water. Chapman indicated he did offer to buy the City's land in order to increase his acreage but was told
that the City would not be interested in selling the corridor.
Gaffron confirmed that the City is not interested i selling the 30 -foot corridor and that an outlot was
created to the west as part of a subdivision a number of years ago.
Sansevere moved to direct Staff to draft a resol lion approving the construction of a 10' by 12' foot
shed, subject to the removal of the sidewalk and the placement of steppingstones, consistent with
• recommendation number two outlined in Staff's' report.
I
Chapman inquired if steppingstones are used, would he then be permitted a 12' by 12' shed.
Gundlach stated if steppingstones are used in places of the concrete sidewalk, there would be a net
decrease in hardcover of 3.5 square feet if a 12' by 12' shed is constructed.
Sansevere amended his motion to direct staff to! draft a resolution approving the construction of a
12' by 12' shed, subject to the removal of the sidewalk and the placement of steppingstones,
consistent with recommendation number two outlined in Staffs report.
Gundlach indicated the majority of the Planning Commission did not vote in favor of the shed but that the
dissenting commissioner had suggested a 10' by 10' shed with the removal of the sidewalk and placement
of steppingstones.

#6. GATE HEIGHT APPEAL CONTINUATION
Paul Zisla, Attorney -at -Law, and Jim Anthony, Representative of Simply Automation, appeared on behalf •
of the Applicant.
Murphy noted a hearing has been scheduled for November 21St in front of the Planning Commission.
Gundlach stated there is a zoning amendment hearing scheduled for November 21St on the new ordinance.
Barrett stated in his opinion the appeal and the zoning ordinance amendment are two separate items.
Barrett stated to his understanding the property owner had proceeded to construct the monuments and had
apparently bought the gates on a special order. Barrett stated he had misunderstood that initially and that
it was his understanding that the applicant had approached the City to inquire about what their statutes
allowed.
Barrett stated this is a different situation in his view since the landowner has proceeded in what is
probably a pretty reasonable interpretation of the code. Barrett stated he requested Attorney Ziska to
write a letter to the Council laying out the facts. Barrett encouraged the Council to test the facts asserted,
and if the Council is satisfied that those facts are true, the n it would be reasonable to say that the City did
not have a direct reference to gate height in our ordinances at the time the application was submitted.
Barrett stated if the Council finds that the City did not have a direct reference in their ordinance referring
to height of gates, then the new ordinance would apply to future applications and not to this homeowner.
Murphy stated it was his understanding that the reason the Council agreed not to pursue this application
was the fact that the City had a discussion pending about gate heights. •

McMillan stated it was an application to appeal an existing code interpretation.
Barrett stated it was his recollection that the Council thought it was good to spend some time discussing
height of gates as apolicy matter, but at the time the application originally came before the Council, there
was no reference to gate height in the City's ordinances.

Barrett stated the City should accept the appeal since it is a reasonable request and that the current city
ordinance does not contain any restrictions on gate height.
•Sansevere inquired whether the property owner re 'ewed the City's ordinances prior to ordering the gates.
Zisla stated he does not know whether the owner reviewed the ordinances prior to ordering the gates.
Zisla indicated he is in agreement with the City Attorney.
Barrett noted if the height of the gate is changed after the appeal is granted, it would require a variance
and that the law covering this application is the law in existence at the time the application was submitted.
i{
McMillan moved, Murphy seconded, to grant the appeal and to allow the construction of the gates
as requested in the building permit application for the property located at 1535 Bohn's Point Road,
with the understanding that this appeal should not impede the City's soon to be adopted gate
ordinance. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. -,fl
MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT
Sansevere stated he would like to receive regular updates from City Staff on complaints by the citizens.
Sansevere noted he was totally unaware of the situation being experienced by the Andersons and that it
would have been helpful to be informed about it prior to tonight's meeting.
• i
Sansevere requested that the City Administrator assist the Mayor in the drafting of the letter to the CEO
of the insurance company regarding this matter. Sansevere stated if the City does not receive satisfaction
• from their insurance company on this matter, that the City should consider changing companies.

Barrett indicated he would be willing to draft the letter.
Moorse recommended a representative of the insurance company attend the City Council work session.
Sansevere suggested the CEO of the company be requested to attend.
Moorse stated the City's insurer is the League of Cities Insurance Trust.
Murphy commented in his view the insurance company is there as a backup to the City when something
goes wrong and that the insurance company should not be dictating to the City what the City should or
should not be doing.
Murphy indicated he has spoken with Mr. Post regarding Old Crystal Bay Road and that he has viewed
the road three times today. Murphy stated approximately one -half of the road has been blacktopped from
Fox Street to Watertown Road and that the blacktopping is expected to be completed sometime next
week, which appears to have satisfied Mr. Post.
Murphy noted a meeting to discuss ribbon cutting of the Old Crystal Bay Road bridge is scheduled for •
1:00 p.m. on November 15`b, and that the work is proceeding as anticipated.
Murphy stated he received a flyer on Thursday the week before the election and that he called City Hall in
response to the flyer. Murphy stated he inquired of City Staff whether school board information is
contained on the City's web site and was told that it is not.
Murphy stated he was unable to reach Mr. Hoyt, the gentleman that distributed this flyer, on either his cell
phone or house line. Murphy stated he was finally able to leave a message indicating that the information
contained in the flyer is inaccurate and that the City is not responsible for the information contained in the
flyer. Murphy commented that citizens should take steps to insure that information they distribute is
accurate.
White noted the referendum only lost by approximately 60 votes.
Sansevere stated he did speak with the gentleman and that Mr. Hoyt was told specifically that the
information contained in the flyer was inaccurate.
White concurred that the information in the flyer is inaccurate.
Peterson stated she also attempted to contact the gentleman to let him know that the information was not
factual.
McMillan stated in her opinion the gentleman should retract the statements publicly since the statements
are totally inaccurate. •
