Add -On Extended Hours for Well #12, City Project 354 Authorization to Recruit Building Inspector Community Development Director Lindquist reviewed the need for a full -time position now held by a temporary full -time employee. There is a growing workload produced by the increase in homes being built. In 2004, 369 new dwelling units were built with 8850 inspections conducted. Staff also expects increases in commercial and industrial development over the next two years. This full -time position vacated in September last year was not filled until spring this year with a full -time temporary position. Staff recommends now returning this position to the full -time status as it has been budgeted for in 2004. This is not adding a position. Council Member Strayton requested facts supporting the housing growth. Lindquist responded that developments now have 1723 lots available for homes. Lindquist estimated that 450 homes could be built each year for the next three to four years. MOTION by Strayton to approve the recruitment for a Building Inspector position. Second by DeBettignies. Ayes: Riley, Strayton, DeBettignies, Shoe - Corrigan, Droste. Nays: None. Motion carried. Zoning Text Amendment for Single Family Dwelling Requirements — Three Stall Garages Case 04- 54 -04TA Council Member Strayton asked who this amendment would affect. Community Development Director Lindquist replied that if a developer already has had a preliminary plat approved it would not apply; however, if a new development made application tomorrow, the amendment would apply to it. This insures that a house is placed on a lot such that a third garage could be added within setbacks. This increases the homeowner's options for expansion. MOTION by Strayton to adopt an ordinance amending Section 4.15, of Ordinance B, the Zoning Ordinance relating to Single Family Dwelling Requirements for three stall garages. Second by Riley. Ayes: Strayton, DeBettignies, Shoe - Corrigan, Droste, Riley. Nays: None. Motion carried. Glendalough Minor PUD Amendment Council Member Shoe - Corrigan asked if this amendment will be legitimizing those lots that are now non - conforming. Community Development Director Lindquist noted it would legitimize the lots that are already developed that are non - conforming and postulates into the future those lots that are smaller. This amendment was requested by Lundgren Brothers Construction, Inc. It would increase the percentage of impervious surface coverage standards from 30 to 35 percent for the Glendalough project. Council Members felt it was important to inform those purchasing in this development that items like basketball courts, pool aprons and garages would not be allowed if the surface area on the lot is already at 35 %. City Attorney LeFevere noted that the PUD declaration can be recorded with the title documents. LeFevere reminded staff that only lots that have not been sold yet will have this notice. 2 Y ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 21, 2004 MOTION by Droste to approve a Minor PUD Amendment for Evermoor Glendalough to increase the impervious surface standard from 30 percent to 35 percent, with exceptions for listed lots above the 35% requirement, subject to: 1.) Lundgren Brothers shall provide every Glendalough customer with written notification of the zoning performance standards for this development. This notice shall include a statement that the City will not grant variances for impervious surface coverage. 2.) Staff will be directed to insure that this PUD amendment is recorded against the property. Second by Riley. Ayes: DeBettignies, Shoe - Corrigan, Droste, Riley, Strayton. Nays: None. Motion carried. Stonex EAW City Engineer Brotzler presented the comments resulting from the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW). Andi Moffatt with WSB & Associates, Inc. noted that Minnesota Department of Transportation, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and Environmental Protection Agency responded. Metropolitan Council was contacted and reported that they did not have any concerns. Moffatt stated that the mining site has 14.5 million tons of sand and gravel available. The location is near County Road 38 and Blaine Avenue. Based on the comments received an Enviromnental Impact Statement is not required. MOTION by Riley to adopt A RESOLUTION ISSUING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF NEED. Second by Strayton. Ayes: Shoe - Corrigan, Droste, Riley, Strayton, DeBettignies. Nays: None. Motion carried.
