Gold Award annually and 108 young women earned the award in 2004 in our area, Girl Scout
Council of St. Croix Valley. Mayor Droste presented Certificates of Appreciation to Julie
Schlichte and Katie Diekes who developed a pilot program to help local teens understand
relational aggression. Briana Robertson, Bree Malone, and Teresa Sperl also were honored for
that project. Mayor Droste presented Jenny Mike with a certificate. Jenny Mike had worked with
Virginia Westlie and their project was sending care packages to the National Guard's men who
were deployed overseas. The following Girl Scouts were not able to be present due to travel and
other commitments: Tonya App and Molly Jabas who produced books for reading for students

included a change in format due to GASB 34 implementation which included a full inventory of
values for such things as roads, sewers, storm sewers and watermains. This is the largest change

City information year to year and to compare issues with other cities. The report was very
favorable. City Administrator Verbrugge thanked Mr. DeKam for the audit and Finance Director

Carrollton 2, 3,& 4 Additions Rezoning from R -A to R1 -A
Community Development Director Lindquist gave an overview of why this request was before
the Council. R1 -A was created to acknowledge single -story or rambler housing patterns. Many
homes had five -foot side yard setbacks which gave them a non - conforming status until rezoned
to R1 -A. Some residents in the Carrollton neighborhood desired to build an additional garage
within the ten -foot setback. The direction to staff was to rezone the neighborhood and allow that
opportunity. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on April 27, 2004 where three
residents spoke in favor of rezoning and four residents spoke in opposition of it. The public
hearing was continued to May 25, 2004 due to notice requirements. Residents at that meeting
voiced concerns about changing the character of the neighborhood. The Planning Commission
unanimously recommended denial of the zoning amendment. Council Member Riley was in
favor of allowing flexibility to the homeowners by relaxing the side yard setbacks and allowing
them to invest in their existing homes and invest in their properties. Council Member
DeBettignies noted that residents knew the side yard setbacks when they purchased their homes.
City Engineer Brotzler was asked if drainage would be affected by adding a garage stall. Brotzler
noted that it could change the drainage but it would need to be determined on a case -by -case
basis. Council Member Riley thought the Carrollton neighborhood should have been rezoned
with the other neighborhoods in 1992 to Rl -A. Mayor Droste noted that with five -foot setbacks
people are not able to park recreational vehicles in their backyard for storage. Council Member
Strayton stated he was not in favor of the rezoning. Community Development Director Lindquist
noted that the next item on the agenda, a zoning text amendment, clarifies the definition of
housing styles.
MOTION by DeBettignies to deny the rezoning of the Carrollton 2' , 3 and 4 th Additions from
R1 to Rl -A. Second by Strayton. Ayes: Droste, Strayton, DeBettignies. Nays: Riley. Motion
carried.
Zoning Text Amendment of Section 6.6
Community Development Director Lindquist pointed out the proposed revisions to the minimum
side yard setback. The ordinance language does not negatively affect properties currently zoned
R1 -A by changing standards and therefore making existing structures nonconforming. Newer
split -level housing styles may cause some confusion in interpreting the ordinance without the
proposed revision. The recommendation would reduce the potential for misinterpretation or
appeals of the staff interpretation of the standard.
MOTION by Strayton to adopt AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 6.6 OF THE
ZONING ORDINANCE. Second by DeBettignies. Ayes: Riley, Strayton, DeBettignies, Droste.
Nays: None. Motion carried.

JUNE 15, 2004
Brockway Area Preliminary Plat, Planned Unit Development Final Development Plan,
Shoreland Overlay District Permit and Wetland Conservation Act Permit and Outlots of
Brockway Final Plat
Community Development Director Lindquist introduced Andrea Moffot from WSB Engineering.
Ms. Moffot explained that three of the wetland areas had been created for effluent treatment and
thereby are not protected by the Wetland Conservation Act and are exempt under Minnesota
Rules 8420.0122, Subp. 5. This was verified by the Wetland Conservation Act Technical
Evalua Panel on May 26, 2004. Wetland, number WMP 356, next to County Road 38 on the
north side of the property is protected as a Manage II classification. A 30 -foot average buffer is
required around the pond. The improvements to CR 38 will impact one side of the pond which
will require an expansion on the south side of the wetland. The road will likely be about fifteen
feet from the wetland on one side. Mayor Droste asked about the status of Keegan Lake.
Lindquist responded that it is DNR protected.
Mayor Droste asked about environmental cleanup by the three exempt wetlands. Mike Waldo,
from Contractor's Property Development Company (CPDC), explained that the environmental
cleanup would require a four -foot buffer to the surface to be considered environmentally safe.
Development could occur over these areas in the future.
City Engineer Brotzler noted that a lift station may be desired in the water runoff pond off
Connemara Trail near the railroad line. The storm sewer has been installed ready to be equipped
with a lift station when needed. Additional easements are needed for retaining walls. The
standard road width is 28 feet.
Community Development Director Lindquist reviewed the proposed changes to the Brockway
preliminary plat. The garage size varied with the minimum of 320 square feet. The clubhouse
was downsized but still included two meeting rooms, bathrooms, and changing rooms for the
pool. The clubhouse would eventually be turned over to the homeowners association and there
would be room to expand. The conservation easements would be similar to Evermoor's. The
Homeowner Association would maintain the sidewalks.
Todd Stuton, President of Rottlund Homes, reviewed the detail of the housing styles. The
townhomes would be eight and ten unit buildings. There would be single family and senior
housing as well as affordable housing. It was noted that the theme is an older architectural style
with front porches and streetscapes.
David Hempel reviewed the park dedication requirement and the pipeline easement that goes
through the park area, and layout of the athletic fields. The roads will not go in until November.
The park dedication is required with the first phase. Hempel asked if they could dedicate the cash
and install the amenities in the second phase. He felt the developer could do the projects cheaper
than the city. The plan currently proposes 14 %2 acres of parkland and a cash payment of
$635,000.

Announcements
Council Member DeBettignies noted the D.A.R.E. graduation for Shannon Park Elementary held
on June 9, 2004. DeBettignies thanked Police Chief Kalstabakken and Officer Tim Murphy for
their support and participation of the drug awareness program. Council Member Riley attended
the event. Congratulations are extended to all Shannon Park Elementary fifth grade participants.
D.A.R.E. essay winners were Megan Fitzgerald, Tony Prostrollo, Sam Moffat, Selena Carlson,
and Jonathon Bishop. The D.A.R.E. Spirit award was presented to Sarah Scinto. Council
thanked those involved and was proud that the children could gain this knowledge.
Mayor Droste reviewed the upcoming meetings for City Commissions and City Council. Droste
noted that a Special Election had been called by Governor Pawlenty to select the District 37
Senate position on July 13. A primary may be necessary dependent on how many candidates run
in a party.
Mayor Droste adjourned the meeting at 9:46 p.m.
