He continued the boulevard sod appears to have been substandard, and due to the change in homeownership, it is not known whether the former owners requested replacement f ollowing construction.

It was moved by replace the sod. Councilman Meland, seconded by Councilman Hanks, to Responding to questions, the City Manager stated to replace the entire section would cost approximately $500. . Councilman Meland noted the complaint was received from only one property owner. He believed some sod currently ordered for other City projects could be used for the replacement at a reduced cost to the City.

Councilman Martin was concerned that a five-foot boulevard could not adequately store snow plowed from Minnetonka Boulevard; he expressed further concern that the areas with only five feet of walk and no boulevard may cause snow to travel down adjacent banks and onto garage roofs and walls below. Councilman Meland asked if snow storage problems exist in areas of similar topography al.ong Minnetonka Boulevard. The Public Works Director explained a f ive-foot boulevard has been installed adjacent to the majority of City sidewalks; it is also the standard for snow storage used by public works organizations. Responding to Councilman Hanks, he said problems with snow storage along Virginia and Wyoming Avenues are not anticipated. Responding to Councilman Elatrom, the City Maaager stated the walk would be maintained by the City. Respondi�g to a question f rom Councilman Meland, the Public Works Director expla ined a�reas which will not have boulevards will not have outwalks; however, provision for outwalks is included in the plans at Xylon and Utah Avenues.

However, he held this opinion only if topographic maps were not available at the County which could be superimposed upon half-section maps to obtain the required information. He asked that staff determine if such maps are available for property owner use in the future. The Planning Director explained that in some instances, staff may have sufficient information to make the aforementioned determinations,but not in all. He provided examples of proposed expansions where the City could not make the correct determination. He said an additional concern would be th� time spent by the applicant, staff, Planning Commission and City Council reviewing and approving a request, only to have the Department of Natural Resources and Watershed District withhold approval due to inadequate information. He continued that in such an instance, the City would be required to ask the applicant for a survey and repeat the revie� process which would require an additional month. Councilman Martin sugges�ed that in marginal decision to request a survey, but the options applicants. cases, it .could be st��f's should be explained to Mayor Howard did not agree and suggested a nonpolicy of this Lype could be dangerous and inequitable.

Ne said his Praperty is located m�ore than 200 feet from the Creek and that he has s survey; he did not believe the requitement appropriate and expressed cuncern that the Ordinance also tequires dedication of land in accordance with the special permit. Councilman Elstrom explained that upon adoption of the Ordinance Code acnendment being considered, the special permit fee would be $SO for properties lying in the F-2 District. Councilman Backes suggested it appropriate to treat single-family properties equally in other areas of the Citq. Councilman Hanks noted the 13 single-family houses within the Excelsior Boulevard Planned Unit pevelopment District (PUD) are required by Code to make special permit app�ication to expand or rebuild. Councilman Backes requested that staff consider amending the ordinance for second reading to includ� single-family properties within PUD Districts. The motion passed 7-0. John Hanson, 4313 Yosemite Avenue, explained his major concern was the required land d edication, although he did believe a$200 special permit fee was somewhat excessive. He said several of the neighboring property owners are planning additions, and a reduction in the fee and avoidance of a survey would be appreciated by them. lOf : Highway 12 Councilman Meland, S p.m., August 27, Highway 12 review (deferred from August 13, 1979).
