Water Conservation Ordinance City Engineer Brotzler reviewed the current ordinance that restricts the usage of municipal water for lawn and landscaping maintenance. The ordinance restricts usage on an odd -even calendar day basis by house address in order to conserve water usage. This is necessary because of the high demand for water during hot weather. This water usage demand reduces the water pressure, in some sections of the city, which is necessary for the fire department to use to fight fires. Rosemount continues to grow and will have to determine if additional water towers and wells are needed. Brotzler compared the gallons of water used in 2001, 3.8 million gallons per day, to 2002/3 which was 4.8 to 5.35 million gallons per day. The amendment to .the current ordinance would shift the enforcement from the police department to the public works department, begin a total ban on watering between the hours of noon and 6:00 p.m., effective May 1 to August 31, and water ban violation fees will be added to the residents watering bill as follows: l violation, a roaming; 2nd violation, $50; ) violation, $100; and 4 th violation, $200. Council Member DeBettigmes pointed out that these restrictions are for lawn and landscaping and do not apply to washing cars, watering flower, or new sod for thirty days. Council Member Strayton noted that there is an appeal process to the Utilities Commission and the new ordinance does not require a court appearance as in the past. Mayor Droste noted that education materials will be distributed through the water billing, web page, and city newsletter. Irrigation meters are available for interested residents who wish to lower their sewer usage bill. MOTION by Riley to hold a First Reading on the Water Conservation Ordinance and set February 3, 2004 for the Second Reading and adoption. Second by Shoe - Corrigan. Ayes: Shoe - Corrigan, Droste, Riley, Strayton, DeBettignies. Nays: None. Motion carried. MOTION by Riley to adopt A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS OF CITY CODE SECTION 4 -1A -3. Discussion ensued. Consensus was to 2 ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 20, 2004 give residents time to respond to this water conservation ordinance amendment prior to its passage. Riley withdrew her motion. This will be considered at the February 3, 2004 City Council meeting. Biscayne Pointe North (Abbott Property) Giles Properties, Inc. Community Development Director Lindquist presented the proposal from Giles Properties for a ten acre parcel's development for 22 single- family homes. This property was formally owned by Tollefson Development which had proposed a Planned Unit Development Plan. The current proposal is very similar but includes more detail to assist in the review process. There are no variance requests with this plan. This plan has additional landscape screening to the north and more tree preservation. The lots will be custom homes with individual lot grading to allow the best house design and lot use. There is a pipeline easement and a drainage pond on the parcel. Council Member Riley questioned the smaller lot being at the entryway of the development. John Anderson, the developer, noted that the pipeline easement restricted planting of trees and placement of the house footprint. Council suggested placing the garage on the north side of the home to insure the maximum of screening from CR38. Anderson said screening could be provided with bushes rather than trees on Lot 12 Block 2 and there are 22 boulevard trees plus 46 additional trees proposed through out the development. Council asked how a new lot owner would know. of restrictions on the lots next to the pipeline easement. Attorney. Norton said that usually a home buyer hires an attorney of record at closing to disclose any title interests. The developer, Mr. Anderson, noted that at the time of sale any lot restrictions should also be disclosed. MOTION by DeBettignies to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR BISCAYNE POINTE NORTH subject to conditions and an additional condition for Lot 12 Block 2 to place the garage on the north side of the lot. Second by Shoe - Corrigan. Ayes: Riley, Strayton, DeBettignies, Shoe - Corrigan, Droste. Nays: None. Motion carried.
