THE MOTION CARRIED. -49- October 3, 1978 I Public Service Company Contract Approved Following is the memorandum from Art March Jr., Special Counsel on this item: "As you know, the City has been meeting and negotiating with Public Service Company for an extended time in attempts to arrive at an agreement which would provide for take-over of Public Service customers and facilities when property is annexed to the City and which would also facilitate cooperative planning in the installation of facilities. At the last meeting with Public Service personnel, an agreement was reached in substance, and I was directed to reduce this agreement to writing. The agreement reached involved some modifications of the previous agreement which had been proposed by the City. I made the changes which had been agreed upon and submitted them to the Electric Department for review and comment. After receiving their O.K., I forwarded the agreement to Don Cawelti, the attorney for Public Service Company. Bob Moninger has now delivered to me the executed agreements in the form in which we submitted them. It is desirable to place this matter before the City Council as soon as possible and obtain the Council's approval and authority to sign the agreements. If there will be a special Council meeting or adjourned meeting prior to October 5, 1 would suggest that this matter be placed before the Council at that time. If not, it should be an item on the October 5 agenda. Please let me know when this will be considered so that I can advise Public Service Company. Since I was the primary draftsman of the agreement and was involved in all of the negotiations, you may desire that I come to the Council meeting when this is considered. If so, please let me know and I will be happy to do so. Partially because of our inability to reach agreement with Public Service, the City enacted two ordinances in July of 1977 which are found at Sections 48-1 through 48-12 of the City Code. This agreement would answer many of our problems as they relate to Public Service; however, we also have jurisdictional problems with REA which have not been answered. Possibly reaching an agreement with Public Service Company will unable us to reach agreement with REA. We do have a previous agreement in writing with REA which they have unilaterally terminated, which would answer many of our -50- October 3, 1978 problems. The City has not concurred in this termination, and it may be that we desire to stand pat on the previous agreement. There has been no opportunity to date to attempt to enforce that agreement. In any event, the existence of that agreement may make negotiating with REA for a new agreement somewhat easier. In any event, I recommend further that the ordinances referenced above be reviewed and considera- tion given to amending these ordinances. In particular, I would suggest that Article 1 be changed so that no franchise is required if the City has not elected to acquire the customer from Public Service under the existing Public Service agreement. Also I would suggest that the requirements of Article 2 for a franchise be changed and a permit system without the necessity for a franchise election be considered.." Attorney March then gave an oral history of the problem that has existed as the City's boundaries have expanded into Public Service Territory, and the negotiations which have been ongoing for a number of years. Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bloom to approve the agreement and authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the agreement on behalf of the city. Yeas: Con- , cilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray, St. Croix, Suinu and Wilkinson. Nays: None. THE MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Robert Moninger of the Public Service Company then informed Council that it is now Public Service Company's responsibility to take this proposal to the Public Utility Commission, as it requires their sanction. Ordinance Adopted as amended Relating to Rules and Regulations of City Open Space Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: "With the rapid development of our Open Space Program we needed to formulate some rules and regulations pertaining to the use of this property.

Phillips stated the areas where this would be ap- propriate, and areas where camping would not be desirable. City Attorney Liley recommended to Section 1, a new subsection except in designated areas." this could be amended by adding (j) to read "to camp overnight Councilman Bloom made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bowling to amend Ordinance No. 96, 1978 as recommended by the City At- torney.

We recommend that the purchase be financed by making a down payment of $16,000 and financing the balance of $48,OOO by is- suing a revenue bond at 6% per annum with two annual install- ments. The bond would be redeemed from parkland fees. Under this payment schedule we would pay $68,320 for this parcel.

THE MOTION CARRIED. -53- 1 n Sorenson's P.U.D. 1405 South College P.U.D., Preliminary Plat and Final Plat Approved Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: "This is a proposal for a business P.U.D. on .5 acre zoned B-P and located on College Avenue at Lake Street. This proposal would convert two residences into professional office space. Parking would be provided between the two struc- tures and in front of a residence located down the street. This makes the proposal a non-contiguous P.U.D. The main issues with this proposal are its intensity and the non-contiguous nature of the P.U.D. Staff does feel that the proposal is consistant with the Council - adopted intent to provide for the transition in this area from residential to commercial uses while still preserving existing structures, landscaping, etc. In terms of the non -contiguity, staff feels the request is valid in this case because the two parcels are functionally related. The recommendation of both staff and the Planning and Zoning Board is for approval subject to the following concerns being addressed on the final: 1. that non-residential uses be limited to "professional office uses," 2. the site plan provide 24' and additional landscaping 121 West Lake lot, and backup for all parking stalls and fence screening of the 3. utility plans provide on -site runoff detention and side- walk design detail.

Concerns of staff and Planning and Zoning Board involve private drives, parking,. landscaping for Spring Creek, elevation data and detention. Details of each concern are included in the staff memo. There is some neighborhood opposition to this development. A copy of the petition stating the reasons for opposition is attached. Staff finds no serious problems with this development.

October 3, 1978 ' The Boardwalk at the Landings P.U.D., Preliminary Plan Approved Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: "This is a proposal for a business development on 8.5 acres zoned R-L-P and located north of Harmony Road and west of Lemay. We have two concerns. First, the proposal would provide for a neighborhood shopping center and a health club for the Landings P.U.D. Both are commercial uses and together total 61,700 square feet of commercial floor area. This exceeds the amount of commerical square footage allotted in the P.U.D. ordinance. Second, several technical concerns regarding access, parking, building heights, etc., need to be addressed on the final site plan. These are outlined on the attached Planning memo. The first concern is, of course, the most substantive. Under Ordinance No. 92 (considered on second reading at this meeting), Council can vary the amount of commercial square footage allowed in P.U.D.'s if the overall effect of the variance would be to. enhance the design of the project. Staff feels that the proposed commerical development does complement the project and is consistent with our goals and objectives. ' We recommend that Council consider the design of the project. Determine -.If -the proposed design is equal to or better than Code provisions and, if so, approve the preliminary plan subject to: 1. the developer entering into a covenant with the City which provides that the commercial development in Boardwalk would comprise the entire commerical allotment for all present and future development in Landings P.U.D., and 2. the final site plan complying with staff concerns as outlined in the following memo."
