be a nice amenity. That we're not just looking at making a dry spot.
Joel Cooper: Can I address your question about the wetland? My name is Joel
Cooper from Pioneer Engineering. The intent is we're going to open up, the
surface area is going to be exactly the same to what's there now. Presently
' that wetland is not full of water. What we're going to do is we're going to
go in and open it up so there can be some open water in there which will be
super for wildlife nests or something similar to that. Barring dry weather
like this it should be wet.
' Pat Swenson: Would there be any advantage Gary in putting a collar around the
lake area during construction?
1 Mayor Hamilton: That's already in there.
Councilman Johnson: That's number 4, floating siltation fence.
ICouncilman Johnson moved, Mayor Hamilton seconded to approve the Lake Riley
Woods plans and specifications with conditions 1 through 8 from the City
' Engineer's memo with the following amendment to condition number 9:
9. The developer shall incorporate a revised Grading and Erosion Control
Plan incorporating conditions 1 through 8 above and approved by the
City Engineer as a part of the construction documents.
All voted in favor and motion carried.
' CONSENT AGENDA: ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT ESTABLISHING CONDITIONS FOR
RECREATIONAL BEACHLOTS IN AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS, FINAL READING.
Councilman Boyt: In our Minutes from the last meeting the ordinance as it was
typed was different from what we stated in our Minutes and I would simply like
to make the two compatible and I think the difference was roughly along the
' lines that when a rural beachlot came under a urban designation that it would
be considered under those standards. Clark worded it a little better than
that but that's- the intent. That's my only comment.
' Councilman Boyt moved, Mayor Hamilton seconded to correct the Zoning Ordinance
Amendment Establishing Conditions for Recreational Beachlots in Agricultural
' Districts to accurately follow as stated in the Minutes of the City Council
meeting June 1, 1987. All voted in favor and motion carried.

City Council Meeting - June 15, 1987
Mayor Hamilton: Is there anyone here from the public wishing to speak on the
Zoning Ordinance Amendment request to allow a contractor's yard as a
Conditional Use in the BF, Business Fringe District and specifically a request
by Patrick and Nancy Blood? Anyone wishing to speak on this? No one. Okay,
they were duly notified and there is no one here.
Councilman Johnson: The only modification I was speaking about last time was
on water and waste water. Trying to assure that we don't have within this
district is only rural without sewer so we want to make sure we don't have
large truck washing with washing the interior of the trucks or any other type
of contractor usage that has a large water flow that is not appropriate for
septic systems. I'm trying to figure out how we would say that.
Mayor Hamilton: In watching another operation in the BF, that one that's down
on Merrill's property, they wash their trucks but they are actually more
concerned with washing the motor and just the outside. I never saw them wash
the inside. They just want to get the dirt off.
Councilman Horn: They don't go into any septic system with that anyway do
they?
Mayor Hamilton: No, it just runs in the ground.
Barbara Dacy: If I can respond to what you want to control. Under Article I
III, Section 2(5), one of the conditions under the review powers of the
Council is that the use will be served adequately by essential public
facilities and services including streets, police, fire, etc. or will be
served adequately by such facilities and services provided by the person or
agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed use. So it
specifically says water and sewer systems so that also could be incorporated
into the conditional use.
Councilman Johnson: Okay, so we've got it covered by other sections.
Mayor Hamilton: What's our normal review period? A year?
Barbara Dacy: The Council can require an annual review period for a
Conditional Use Permit.
Mayor Hamilton: I would make in this case, unless it's something that's new,
make it one condition on my motion that it be reviewed in a years time.
Barbara Dacy: Okay, so you're saying anytime you have a contractor's yard in
the BF District, you want it reviewed on an annual basis? II
Mayor Hamilton: I'm sorry, I guess I was thinking more of a specific use.
I'm jumping ahead of myself.
Mayor Hamilton moved, Councilman Geving seconded to approve the Zoning
Ordinance Amendment to allow Contractor's yards as a Conditional Use in the
Business Fringe District. All voted in favor and motion carried.
