July 16, 2015 Staff Report Page 3 <br /> <br /> <br /> Dawn Bittner explained the Planning Commission’s recommendation of <br />removing the maximum accessory structure size in the rural residential <br />zone. <br /> <br /> COUNCIL MEMBER AKERSON MOVED TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 15-06 <br />AMENDING CHAPTER 17 OF THE CITY CODE REGARDING THE <br />RURAL RESIDENTIAL ZONING CLASSIFICATION. COUNCIL MEMBER <br />KARR SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED 5-0 <br /> <br />9.3. Bridge Designs <br /> <br /> Tim Houle noted that the Bridge Committee is recommending bridge <br />designs for the Paul Bunyan Bridge on the north leg of County Road 107 <br />and the CSAH 11/Interchange Bridge. He stated that the Paul Bunyan <br />Bridge #18002 would not incur additional funds from the City because the <br />total cost does not exceed the allowable amount for aesthetics. <br /> <br />Mr. Houle noted that the Bridge Committee preferred the CSAH <br />11/Interchange Bridge #18009 to have an aesthetically pleasing design thus <br />the reason for the bobber emblem, decorative street lights, and the stone <br />work. The Council wondered if these items would be noticed by motorists <br />traveling 65 MPH or if signage would be a better use of funds. Mr. Houle <br />stated that the City would incur a cost of $13,414 for this bridge because the <br />total cost exceeds the allowable amount for aesthetics. Mayor Sjoblad <br />asked the Council to think about better uses for this money such as a metal <br />mural or signage. <br /> <br /> COUNCIL MEMBER LOUKOTA MOVED TO ACCEPT THE BRIDGE <br />DESIGNS FOR BRIDGE #18002 (PAUL BUNYAN BRIDGE) AND BRIDGE <br />#18009 (CSAH 11/INTERCHANGE BRIDGE) AS RECOMMENDED BY <br />THE BRIDGE COMMITTEE. COUNCIL MEMBER KARR SECONDED <br />THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED 5-0. <br /> <br /> <br />D.
