City Council Minutes May 5, 1997 Page 3 Robert Hanson - 13569 Riverview Drive - indicated his concern with the equity of the division of the street assessment. He felt the developer should be picking up more of the cost. He indicated he was opposed to the project. Al Sanudo - 13416 Riverview Drive - had several questions regarding the project. He questioned whether he would be required to hook up to both utilities at once; whether the assessment would be the same later as it is now; and whether he would be assessed for both of his lots. Michelle Berg - 17906 Macon Street - indicated she was opposed to the proposed project. Louann Sjogren - 18010 Macon Street - indicated she was opposed to the proposed project. There being no further comments, Mayor Duitsman closed the public hearing. Councilmember Dietz indicated that it would not be fair to treat this area differently than those residents on Fresno Street. Councilmember Holmgren indicated that the City Council has listened to the concerns and have proposed the least painful option by mandating that the residents only pay for the street at this time. COUNCILMEMBER HOLMGREN MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 97-37, A RESOLUTION ORDERING THE IMPROVEMENT AND PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS IN THE MA'ri'ER OF THE MACON STREET AND RIVERVIEW DRIVE IMPROVEMENT OF 1997.

Consider Request from Minnesota Lakes Association to Sell Pull Tabs at Broadway Bar and Pizza The City Clerk indicated that the Minnesota Lakes Association (MLA) have requested an ordinance interpretation of the City's pull tab ordinance. The MLA have requested to sell pull tabs at Broadway Bar and Pizza. She further stated that the organization has indicated that it would be using some of the proceeds for the improvement of Lake Orono. The City Clerk indicated that the City's current ordinance prevents outside organizations from operating pull tabs within the City of Elk River. The City Clerk explained that the MLA is requesting the Council to interpret Section 716.06(2)(B)(ii) relating to waiving the outside organization requirement for existing organizations. Mayor Duitsman indicated it was the Council's intent to waive the requirement only for organizations who were currently operating in Elk River at the time the ordinance was adopted. He stated that this would not apply to MLA.
