The Councilmembers discussed concerns related to residents' use of water from the
lakes and recommended that the Ordinance be strictly enforced and that residents be
appropriately notified of the Ordinance and the dangers related to domestic use of lake
water.
Benson moved, Stover seconded to direct the staff to prepare a findings of fact
resolution approving the Preliminary Plat requested by Allen Larson, 6035/6050
Ridge Road, subject to the staff recommendations outlined in the Director's May 27,
1993 memorandum and subject to approvals required by the City Engineer.
Motion passed 4/0.
C. Final Plat - Waterford 5th Addition
Applicant: Trivesco
Location: Outlot D, Waterford (5590 Vine Hill Road)
Nielsen stated that subsequent to the Planning Commission meeting, a question arose
as to whether Outlot D was a part of the Waterford project and whether the protective
covenants applied to that Lot. He reported that the development agreement specifically
omitted Outlot D from those covenants because it was anticipated that Outlot D would
be developed in conjunction with the Covington Vine Ridge project. However, due to
certain watershed district restrictions, Outlot D was not incorporated into that plat. It has
been recommended to the developer that similar covenants be attached during this
platting to ensure that the architectural review process would remain the same as the
Waterford project.
Lewis referred to the Planning Commission's recommendation that the property remain
a single lot precluded from future subdivision. Keane stated that would not be an
appropriate condition since under the current ordinance framework, a variance request
to accommodate subdivision could be presented to the Council for action.
Stover moved, Benson seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 57-93, "A Resolution
Approving the Final Plat of Waterford 5th Addition," subject to the Attorney's
approval of the Declaration of Restrictions.
Motion passed 4/0.
D. Consider Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment - Regulations for Detached
Garages

7.
DISCUSSION ON POLICY ISSUES
Zoning and Land Use Issues Relating to a Potential Senior Center at the
City Hall Property
Hurm reviewed the background to the issue and the current status of concepts
developed by the Senior Center Task Force regarding use of a Senior Center that may
be located on the City Hall property. The Task Force is now requesting policy direction
and guidance regarding zoning and land use. Specifically, policy direction is requested
with regard to using the property for adult day care for over 10 persons which would
involve re-zoning and use of the property for commercial purposes including allowing
liquor service, which would involve an ordinance change. Nielsen indicated that survey
work and soil borings are being conducted and policy direction from the Council would
assist in planning of the next steps in the process.
Robert Gagne, member of the Senior Center Task Force, reiterated that these issues are
strictly City policy decisions. He stated that at the present time, the Task Force is not
considering offering use of the senior center/community center for adult day care. In
addition, the task force is studying methods to ensure that the center would be
adequately funded. He thanked Administrator Hurm for the volunteer assistance he has
provided to the task force.
During discussion, it was noted that limited re-zoning would allow flexibility for use of the
building; allowing liquor service conflicts with the use of the recreational park adjacent
to the site; and commercial use of the property may contribute to traffic-related concerns.
Further, the Council encouraged the idea of a self-supporting facility and, in general, the
Council supported the overall concepts and location of a Senior/Community Center.
