2. Preliminary/final Plat, Alliant Tech (CR99-122)
Bill Beard of the Beard Group, 10 - 11 th Ave S, reviewed the previous concepts with
the Council. Mr. Beard said that the night before the plans were to be reviewed by
the Zoning and Planning Commission, a neighborhood meeting was held. At that
meeting the neighborhood -expressed their wishes that they would rather see a higher
density with an association than a lower density without the association. The plan
that was prepared for the Zoning and Planning Commission was showing 48 single-
family homes without an association. The builder indicated to Mr. Beard that the
minimum number of homes that would make an association feasible would be 58.
The plan at this time was showing 58 homes with a homeowner's association.
Nancy Anderson said that staff is recommending a continuation of this item because
the Mayor is not present and to provide the applicant additional time to revise the
plans based on the Planning Commission's recommendations and comments made by
the neighborhood. Ms. Anderson said a rezoning from R-1-C to R-1-A-PUD if the
higher density with an association is approved.
0 Council discussed the width of the streets, fencing of the pond, attendance of
surrounding residents at the meetings that were held and set backs from the park.
Gloria Campbell, 304 Tyler Ave N, said she was concerned that there would be no
basements in the houses and asked what is being provided for emergency shelter.
Ms. Campbell also said that the park would be more congested and used differently
and suggested that a play area be added in the development plans.
Council discussed sidewalks, association fees and the park use.
After reviewing the plans and discussing the issues, Council Member Hesch requested
a summary of the questions that were brought up in their discussions. Mr. Mielke
listed the following:
1. What is covered by the association dues of $55.00 per month and what
amount will the actual market bear?
2. What security measures will be installed around the pond and what
delineation will be used to separate the park from back yards?
3. If the City owns and maintains the streets, could the association dues be
lowered and make a lesser density feasible?
4. How will safety of the residents be addressed in the event of severe storms
0 and how will security around the perimeter be addressed?
5. What is the plan for sidewalks on the west side from 2nd St N.E. to Tyler?

4. Approve Recycling Contract (CR99-11 8) 0
Steve Stadler said that Waste Management has been doing the curbside recycling for
the City since January 1990. The choice to re-negotiate this contract instead of
doing a re-bid was based on a review of contract offers to other cities, the current
market conditions, the fact that only one other hauler offered co-mingled recycling
and that similar problems have been experienced with other haulers. At this time the
working relationship with Waste Management is good.
Mr. Stadler said that the rate is set up as an escalating rate and reviewed the rates
and other changes from the original contract.
Council Member Jensen moved and Council Member Johnson seconded a motion to
approve a residential curbside recycling collection contract extension through June
30, 2004, with Waste Management as outlined in the attached 4th Amendment to
Curbside recycling Contract dated July 6, 1999. A poll of the vote was as follows:
Council Member Maxwell, aye; Council Member Jensen, aye; Council Member Hesch,
aye; Council Member Johnson, aye. The motion carried unanimously.

0 concerns with that option and directed staff to contact other cities for the service.
Staff contacted several cities and it was determined that St. Louis Park was the best
option. St. Louis Park no longer wants to provide the service. Other interested cities
were contacted and even though Crystal is still interested, the cost is much higher.
Mr. Genellie said that letters were sent to every licensed health inspector in the metro
area and that eight individuals responded.
Council Member Hesch moved and Council Member Johnson seconded a motion to
authorize staff to solicit proposals from private contractors for the provision of health
inspection services. A poll of the vote was as follows: Council Member Maxwell,
aye; Council Member Jensen, aye; Council Member Hesch, aye; Council Member
Johnson, aye. The motion carried unanimously.
