050487 CC SP Min . . . CITY OF SHOREWOOD SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING MONDAY, MAY 4, 1987 ADMINISTRATOR'S OFFICE 5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD 7:30 P.M. M I NUT E S CALL TO ORDER The Special Meeting of the Shorewood City Council was called to order at 7:30 P.M. on Monday, May 4, 1987 in the office of the City Administrator. ROLL CALL Present: Mayor Rascop, Councilmembers Haugen, Stover, Gagne and Brancel. Staff Attorney Froberg, Engineer Norton and Administrator Vogt. SHOREWOOD OAKS WATER DISCUSSION Attorney Froberg reviewed with the City Council what has been occurring over the past week relative to negotiations with Mr. Tom Wartman regarding the water interconnection of the Shorewood Oaks Development with the Boulder Bridge Farm Development. Mr. Wartman not only requested an amendment to the existing Boulder Bridge Farm Development Agreement, but also to get two adjacent proposed developers to sign an agreement relating to connection to the Boulder Bridge municipal water system. The two developers declined to sign the agreement. As to the Boulder Bridge proposed amendment negotiations, Mr. Wartman has requested a revised development agreement with the City. His original Development Agreement stated he could recoup some of the costs which were assessed to his property for the installation of the deepwell and pumphouse serving the Boulder Bridge Farm Development. That installation was oversized to serve adjoining property outside of the development. One of the requirements that Mr. Wartman wanted included in his Amended Development Agreement was an extension of the Agreement to the year 1999. The agreement would then expire June 23, 1999 or whenever Mr. Wartman recouped $158,000 plus interest accrued at 8% per year from June 23, 1981 which date has been determined to be the completion date of the Boulder Bridge Farm municipal water system. Although a similar Amended Agreement had been tentatively agreed upon in 1986, Mr. Wartman has requested several additional clauses. The feeling of the Council at this time is that they do not want to bind themselves to an extended Development Agreement and discussed how to proceed without further negotiations with Mr. Wartman. Attorney Froberg reviewed several options the City could consider in an effort to allow the current Boulder Bridge Development Agreement to expire on June 23, 1988 at which time connections outside of the Boulder Bridge Development would no longer be required to pay the connection fee of $2,000 plus 8% interest from 1981 to the Boulder Bridge Developer. The Council discussed a proposal whereby the City would pay for outside connections to the Boulder Bridge municipal water system from the General Fund (Contingency Fund) for those connections in the Shorewood Oaks Development. . . . SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING MONDAY, MAY 4, 1987 page two SHOREWOOD OAKS WATER DISCUSSION - cont. Said payments would cover connections between now and June 23, 1988 at which time the Boulder Bridge Farm Development Agreement would expire and connections in Shorewood Oaks would no longer pay a connection fee. The connection fees paid by the Contingency Fund to Boulder Bridge between now and the expiration date of June 23, 1988, would be repaid with interest from future water connections. Connection fees outside of Shorewood Oaks would be paid by the respective property owner. Motion by Gagne, seconded by Brancel, to approve of the proposal to pay for the Shorewood Oaks connections to the Boulder Bridge Farm municipal water system from the Contingency Fund until June 23, 1988 to be repaid with interest from future connections. Motion carried unanimously.

Motion carried - 5 ayes by Roll Call Vote. WCL ACRES DISCUSSION Mr. Herb Gager of 23640 Yellowstone Trail appeared before the City Council to discuss the effects of the WCL Acres Development Project on his property. The WCL Acres project is located directly south of Mr. Gager's residence. The concern is that the new street will come out directly in line with his front windows and car headlights will shine into his home at night. Engineer Norton reviewed the construction staking for the roadway stating that the stakes are normally off set from the location of the actual construction. The Council and staff went over the construction plans with Mr. Gager. Because of the location of the proposed street in relationship to the front of the house, Mr. Gager requested if any screening would be installed as part of the project. The Council indicated that none is planned and directed Mr. Gager to contact the developer, Dick Larsen, to make the request for screening. The Council took no further action. Motion by Haugen, seconded by Brancel, to adjourn the Special Meeting of May 4, 1987 at 8:25 p.m. Motion carried unanimously - 5 ayes.
