Heard a report by Planning Tech Jones regarding the preliminary/final plat
proposed by Mark and Monica Patnode. Creating two lots, one consisting of 2.98
acres, and the other consisting of 34 acres.
MOTION by Bucher, seconded by Thomas to approve Resolution No. 2001-66,
accepting the Patnode Final Plat as presented. Voting Aye: Bucher, Gageby,
Gmach, Guenthner and Thomas. (Motion Carried)
Engineer Vander Top addressed the council on the UMC expansion /
development plans. Terry and Don Tomann of UMC were present for the
discussion.
The desirable site improvements for this expansion would be a frontage road via
the intersections of Rolling Hills Road and Pioneer Trail. This appears to be the
most viable option rather then reconstructing the two intersections. Funding for
this would be sought through MnDOT, with the city making the application.
Other desired improvements include water and sewer. Water is a priority, sewer
is not, they could manage with a temporary sewer system until municipal sanitary
sewer becomes available. The completion of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan
would be desirable, however is not necessary.
Steps necessary to proceed forward would be to make application to MnDOT for
the frontage road, pursue discussions with the cities of Medina and Loretto and
the Met Council for the extension of sewer and water utilities.

Due to the time constraints associated with the submittal of the MnDOT
Cooperative Agreement, the Council will need to pass a resolution supporting the
application before October 24. It was the consensus of the Council that this
matter could be taken care of during the joint council and planning commission
meeting scheduled for October 23.
MOTION by Gageby, seconded by Thomas, to direct city staff to proceed with
the Cooperative Agreement application to MnDOT for the frontage road
improvement. Voting Aye: Bucher, Gageby, Gmach, Guenthner and Thomas.
(Motion Carried)
Addressed the Home Occupation mailer. The introductory piece is still needed.
Employee criteria needs to be clarified and included in the checklist portion of
the mailer. Home offices, daycares and sign ordinance compliance are also to be
included in the information. Planning Tech Jones was directed to make the
necessary revisions and then circulate it to the council for their approval. Mayor
Guenthner and Jones will work on the introductory piece.
Councilor Gageby reported on a meeting he had attended with the NW League of
Municipalities. Hennepin County Assessor Thomas May had addressed the
legislative impacts to the budgeting process and distributed information. Staff
will copy and distribute the material to the rest of the council.
Councilor Gageby also reported that he has a copy of the Interstate 94 study that
could be very useful to the city during the comprehensive land use planning
process. Staff was directed to summarize the study and reproduce the high points
for the council and commission.
MOTION by Gmach, seconded by Thomas, to adjourn the regular council
meeting, 7:50 p.m. Voting Aye: Bucher, Gageby, Gmach, Guenthner and
Thomas. (Motion Carried)
