Approving the ordinance would allow the Council members and staff time to review or research what restrictions other communities allow. MOTION BY Council member Vetsch, seconded by Council member Fay to approve Ordinance No. 2007-03 entitled an Ordinance Establishing a one-year Moratorium within the City of Albertville on the Erection, Placement or Display of Any Sign Displaying Animation or Rapidly Changing Images or Messages within the Albertville city limits and on file in the office of the City Clerk. Motion carried unanimously. ALBERT VILLAS PONDING Mayor Klecker turned it over to Assistant City Engineer Nafstad to report on the outcome of the meeting held with the City of St. Michael. Assistant City Engineer Nafstad stated St. Michael appeared to be satisfied with the $128,000 cash payment and did not say otherwise on this matter. Regarding the trigger on when payments escalate from an agricultural classification to a developed residential classification, St. Michael felt this complicates matters. the $5,000 amount should be more around $15,000 per year starting in 2008. The part of the counter-offer that applies to the Main Avenue NE connection should be placed on the Albertville Comprehensive Plan. It seemed that St. Michael staff would look somewhat favorably on the Main Avenue NE Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Paved access to the Zachman property, St. Michael Council could not condemn property to create this access. St. Michael will continue to keep this on their plans, but no date has been set for the connection. Nafstad concluded by informing the Council and staff that St. Michael denied the counter-offer from the Albertville City Council. Mayor Klecker inquired about the potential of Albertville purchase the land or the easement. City Attorney Couri answered by stating there is the potential to purchasingc the land or the drainage easement. There are very few other communities that own easements within other communities. The property would be tax exempt until a change of ownership or use,.- which is unknown at this point. MOTION BY Council member Wagner, seconded by Council member Berning to approve the counter-offer to the City of St. Michael with 3 options, M\City Council\Council Minutes\2007 Minutes\M 03-26-07 Final (LaMN edits).doc"41:4pli' lie Danf_A Ci*^ COURGiAcot^^i' City of Albertville City Council Minutes March 26, 2007 Page 3 of 8 Option 1.
