Public hearing sewer and water extension plus street restoration from corner of Maple St. & 6th St. to corner of Maple St. and 7th St. Purpose is to serve 48 unit apartment complex of Wally Houle~s. One other property owner could be assessed for sewer and water and possibly two lots may be subdivided in such a fashion as to have one additional lot being assessed. This property owner was sent notice of hearing so we can determine his intentions. As far as assessment policy on this project, it would be reasonable and equitable to assess benefitting property owners for the lateral charge and the apartment complex would be picking up balance on sewer and water. Re- garding putting the street in, since the street is a platted street the only portion that should probably be considered for assessment is the cul de sac, this would be assessed to the apartment complex in its entirety. Wally Houle indicates the first building con- sisting of 24 units will be ready October 1, and Gary Thompson, president of Hood, Inc. indicates he has the crew to get it done by then. Financing would be through the $'7'75,000 G. 0. Improvement Bond. A change order would have to be negotiated ti+rith Hood, Inc. on same unit price basis as the large project west of town. Keith Nelson will have final figures and review project. Agenda Item 2. _Feasibility report - on sewer and water ex- tension from Broadway & Chestnut to Public Road (Cemetery Road) and Broadway._ Reviewed petition from property owners in area requesting extension of utilities. Originally petition in#.~ia~ed by Ernie Hartwig who is building house on east end of proposed extension. Keith Nelson will be reviewing this project at the meeting. -1- -. AGENDA SUPPLEMENT • Agenda Item 1a. Charles Ritze Plot - Performance Bond. Both old and new ordinances require black- top streets and curb and gutter. Mr. Ritze indicates that cost of a per- formance bond for his streets for blacktop and curb and gutter would not allow him to develop property. H e would like to reduce performance bond requirements to just a gravel base and just on a portion of subdivision he intends to develop now and not whole plat. My recommendation would be to require no performance bond now as Mr. Ritze is not having sewer and water go down any of his streets but as he develops his streets a performance bond should be required for blacktop pavement for the particular street abutting the area to be developed. Additionally, a decision should be forth- coming on whether curb and gutter re- quirements are requirements of a sub- division. The plot could be approved and stipulation made no building permits will be approved nor utilities put in until a performance bond is placed with the city for streets abutting the property. - 1 a- ' • Agenda Item 3. Review and recommendations from engineer on maintenance building bids. At the last council meeting the council's decision was to ref er plans and specifications back to the engineer for review and cost revision. Thursday, August 8, 1975, (subsequent to this supplement), John Badalich will be meeting with maintenance building commission and review his findings. Agenda Item 4. Consideration of adoption of resolution for alley easement granted by Larry Flake for Post Office. Larry Flake has agreed to granting the post office an easement for an alleyway on the back of his property. He would like the following stipulations put in the easement and on re- cord at City Hall: 1. Easement will not restrict future building permit requests. Basically Mr. Flake was concerned about setback requirements in that easement would not make it more difficult to situate future structures. 2. City would accept easement as a gift above the amount of $1.00. 3. A perpetual easement would always be granted Larry Flake on alleyway and he could transf er this to future owners. Agenda Item 5. Set public hearing for final Community Develop- ment Block Grant application. Due to additional funds being appropriated for the Community Development Block Grant program, HUD is now accepting final applications. Ap- plications must be complete by August 30, 1975• The City of Monticello is in the Twin Cities region and currently ranks 9th out of 43 cities with a possible appropriation up to $100,000. -2- t . • Agenda Item $. While the 8 cities above us (contd.) appropriations of $774,000, the amount available in the HUD indicates that this was liminary applications and t'. come out with some dollars. have recommended which is exactly Twin Cities area, based only on pre- he city still could Two public hearings are necessary to fill the requirements of an application for the grant program. I would suggest August 25 (our regular meeting date) and August 26 to allow for re- quired published notice. I will be filling out final application myself as Midwest Planning called me last week and they would like to do it at a cost of $1250. Agenda Item 6. Set date for continuation of public hearing on 1974 parking lot assessment hearing. I am enclosing minutes of the Business anal In- dustrial Development Commissions meeting of July 16, 1975, at which time they reviewed all comments and~or complaints regarding the 1974-1 Parking Lot assessments. As you can see, only Z property owners, Larsen Carpet and Dr. C. Bentzin were recommended for adjustment. The adjustment on Larsen Carpet is simple and can be put right in the formula. Regarding Dr. Bentzin, if the council accepted the commission's recommendation, a dollar ad- justment would be made on his assessment. A continuation of the hearing has to be held to finalize the assessments and it may be well to hold this Tuesday, August 26th if we also hold hearing for Community Development Block Grant program on that date. ~~~~ Agenda Item 7. Consideration of on-sale non-intoxicating liquor license for softball tournament. '` Gr h° C~ G „Ac~r• The Chaparral Club sof tball team is sponsoring a softball tournament Sept. 6 and Sept. 7 and requests an on-sale non-intoxicating liquor license. The tournament will be held at the NSP field. -3- • C~ Agenda Item 8. Consideration of options on noon whistle. With the sale of have removed the area. In the pa; the fire whistle Mobil is ringing station. our municipal liquor store, we fire alarm from the on sale st the bartenders used to ring at noon and right now Red's the whistle at noon from their There are some possibilities regarding the "noon' whistle: 1. Eliminate it completely. 2. Have Red's Mobil or City Hall do it. 3. Purchase clock ($11'7) which auto- matically will ring it at noon. My recommendation is to purchase clock to do it automatically and the basis for this is accuracy and elimination of personnel worrying about problem. Agenda Item 9. Approval of attorney bill on Pollution Control Bond - NSP. Bill for work done on Pollution Control Bonds for NSP by Gary Pringle is $4,500, which is to be paid by NSP. Gary Pringle stated bill should be approved by the city council and forwarded to NSP. -4-
