IV. PUBLIC HEARING
1. The Mayor will open a hearing to receive public comment and Council consideration
of a resolution vacating drainage and utility easements in the plat of Sunnybrook
Acres 4th Addition.
This plat is one of the properties acquired and cleared by MnDOT as part of
the Highway 100 project. The property has been declared surplus and will be
conveyed to the EDA which will in turn convey it to the adjacent property
owner(s). Because the property will be combined with adjacent parcels, the
drainage and utility easements are not necessary and should be vacated.
Recommend approval of the resolution vacating these easements.

V. OPEN FORUM
(Open forum is a time for individuals in the audience to address the Council on
subjects not on the regular Council agenda. Individuals are asked to step up to the
podium and speak clearly into the microphone. You are allowed 3 minutes to make
your comments. The Council will not take action on items discussed during open
forum; however, the Council may add the item to a future meeting agenda a nd ask city
staff for follow-up.)
VI. REGULAR AGENDA
1. The Council will consider a resolution approving the plat of Sunnybrook Acres 5 th
Addition.
This property is three parcels which were acquired by MnDOT for the
Highway 100 project. MnDOT has declared the property surplus and is
conveying the property to the EDA, which will convey it to abutting
homeowners for fair market value. At its July 12 meeting, the Planning
Commission held a public hearing on the proposed plat and recommended
approval of the preliminary and final plat of Sunnybrook Acres 5th Addition.
2. The Council will consider requests relating to a proposed art show at Bassett Creek
Park located at 6001 – 32nd Ave N:
i. Permission to use the park for transient merchant sales; and
ii. Exemption from fees and criminal history checks relating to licensing
requirements for transient merchant sales.
At its July 15 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Commission considered a
proposal to conduct an art fair in Bassett Creek Park this October to benefit
endangered animals due to the oil spill in the gulf. Because the City Code
does not allow for the sale of anything in a park by a private party, the Council
needs to determine whether the proposed activity is appropriate as well as
whether fees should be waived.

Wells Fargo Bank, 7000 Bass Lake Road.
