Elk River City Council Minutes <br />August 24, 1998 <br /> <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />4.4. <br /> <br />4.6. <br /> <br />Steve Stoffers, 14092 Victoria Lane, indicated that he was opposed to fixing the <br />road to a higher standard so as to accommodate one individual. He further <br />indicated that this would be done at the expense of the taxpayers and did not <br />feel it was fair. <br /> <br />Gary Balcom expressed his concern over truck noise and stated he hopes any <br />revised ordinance will address this type of situation. <br /> <br />Discussion was held by the Council regarding whether it would be feasible to post <br />a 5 Ton maximum on the road which would make it impossible for a semi truck to <br />use the road. It was further noted that this could also restrict activities of the <br />neighbors as other trucks would also not be allowed on the road such as cement <br />trucks, garbage trucks, etc. <br /> <br />COUNCILMEMBER DIETZ MOVED TO SEND THE ISSUE OF SEMI TRUCK <br />TRAILERS/TRACTORS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR <br />REVIEW AND TO DELAY ANY ACTION ON THE OVERLAY ON VICTORIA LANE UNTIL A <br />DECISION IS MADE BY THE COUNCIL REGARDING THE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT. <br />COUNCILMEMBER THOMPSON SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0. <br /> <br />Interview Applicants for Park and Recreation Commission <br /> <br />The City Council interviewed Mitch Utecht and Tim Sladek for the Park and <br />Recreation Commission. The City Clerk noted that an interview has also been <br />scheduled for August 31, 1998, with Marvin Johnson. <br /> <br />Update on City Planner Applicants <br /> <br />The City Administrator indicated that staff is contemplating hiring Jim Brimeyer to <br />help with the selection process of the city planner. He indicated that this would <br />take place some time during the winter. Councilmember Father noted that it <br />may be best to have a candidate already hired around the first of the year <br />because spring is a very busy time of the year for the planning department. It <br />was the consensus of the City Council to continue the city planner selection <br />process until winter. <br /> <br />Budget Update <br /> <br />City Administrator Pat Klaers updated the City Council on the 1999 budget <br />process. <br /> <br />Open Mike <br /> <br />No one appeared for this item. <br /> <br />Other Business <br /> <br />The City Administrator informed the Council that there is a report being prepared <br />by Burbach Aquatics for the park and recreation referendum. He indicated that <br />the report would be ready on September 2, 1998. <br /> <br /> <br />
