<br />Joint City Council/Park and <br />Recreation Commission Minutes <br />April 26, 1999 <br /> <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Mayor Klinzing questioned what the expense would be for street sweeping. Phil <br />Hals, Streets/Parks Superintendent, indicated that the current charge is $65 per <br />hour for street sweeping. He noted that he did not feel the developers would have <br />a problem with the charge, and would save them the trouble of having to locate <br />a sweeper and operator themselves. <br /> <br />COUNCILMEMBER FARBER MOVED APPROVAL OF THE REVISED POLICY REGARDING <br />EROSION CONTROL FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOME CONSTRUCTION ON URBAN LOTS FOR <br />NEW PLATS, TO BE ADDRESSED THROUGH THE DEVELOPER AGREEMENT, AND, THAT THE <br />POLICY BE REVIEWED IN ONE YEAR. COUNCILMEMBER THOMPSON SECONDED THE <br />MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0. <br /> <br />4.3. Recommendation on the Creation of Heritaqe Preservation Commission <br /> <br />Steve Rohlf explained that at the October 12, 1998 City Council meeting, the <br />Council directed staff to investigate the creation of a Heritage Preservation <br />Commission (HPC). He indicated that the draft ordinance amendments included <br />in the memo to the Mayor and City Council dated April 26, 1999, will need to be <br />adopted in order to create the HPC. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Mayor Klinzing questioned how the ordinance amendments were created. Steve <br />Rohlf indicated that the ordinance amendments were modeled using the <br />language in the city code for other boards and commissions. Mayor Klinzing <br />indicated she felt the language regarding the commission's purpose should be <br />modified, so that it does not appear that the primary purpose of the Heritage <br />Preservation Commission is acquiring property. <br /> <br />Council member Motin asked what the benefit would be to create the commission. <br />Steve Rohlf indicated that the benefits would include the following: <br /> <br />. establishing credibility to preservation efforts, <br />. making the city eligible for funding sources, <br />. placing the city in a proactive position for identifying and preserving our <br />heritage. <br /> <br />Steve noted that the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing and make a <br />recommendation on the ordinance amendments. <br /> <br />COUNCILMEMBER DIETZ MOVED TO ORDER A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE PROPOSED <br />ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS TO CREATE A HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION. <br />COUNCILMEMBER THOMPSON SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED <br />4-0-1.

Steve explained that he has been attending meetings of the DNR to <br />consider proposed changes to the ordinance. Steve reviewed proposed <br />amendments modifying the city's Wild and Scenic River ordinance, which would <br />address non-conforming businesses.
