C.U.P. AND VARIANCE - MARCUS DEVELOPMENT CORP.
AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
RESOLUTION NO. 52-88
Mark Senn was present representing Marcus Development Corp. in
their request for a C.U.P. and variance to build a convenience/
service center at 24365 Smithtown Road.
The Council reviewed the Development Agreement and went over changes
as requested in that draft.
Item #5 regarding billboards was discussed at length. They added
additional working to insure that no "embelishments" are made to
the Naegele billboard when it is relocated.
Senn requests that no assessments be added now or in the future in
exchange for granting the County Club Road easement. The Council
did not agree to that stipulation because they felt it could tie
the hands of future Council's.
The water main servicing the City Garage will have to be removed
and a replacement line will have to be installed from the Badger
water system. The cutting and capping of the water line will be
a responsibility of the development. Engineer Norton will return
with a cost estimate for relocation and connection to the Badger
system.
Gagne was concerned about the current violation of the junk
ordinance on this property. Staff will submit a list of violations
to be cleared up within the next 30 days.

storage in that area. The trash enclosure will be fenced.
A 48 hour limitation was put on outdoor storage of vehicles.
Gagne moved, seconded by Stover, to adopt the Resolution and
the Development Agreement as amended. Motion carried by Roll

AUDIT REPORT PRESENTATION
City Auditor, Jim Maiser, presented the audit report. He began
by reading the audit letter going through the audit report and
finalizing by going through the management letter.
He stated that 55% of all City funds come from general taxes
and 45% are generated revenue from sale of service, permits,
homestead credits and miscellaneous interest and investments.
Financial notes are included in the report as well as special
assessment information.
.
Rascop stated that he would like to see all overtime salary
budgeted for and shown when expended.
Maiser reviewed and answered Councils questions as he went through
each page of the report.
Rascop asked about the sewer rate increase and if it could be
reduced. Mr. Snyder of the Finance Committee stated that added
expenses were for repairs and televising of the sewer lines in
an effort to free up additional connections for future developments.
The MWCC will release additional connections if the City can
reduce its flow by repairing and reducing infiltration into the
sewer system. Stover would like the Financial Advisory Board to
review the sewer fund again this fall. Vogt felt the water
revenues would increase because revenue no longer has to be
paid to the City of Minnetonka for their water.
The Liquor Fund is showing a increase of 11% in their profits.
$18,800.00 was transferred to the General Fund. Dean Young
questioned the increase in salaries charged. This came in the
area of added bookkeeping expenses.
