City Council Meeting Minutes May 1, 2018 Page 5 of 13 Mayor Muckle stated he agreed with Councilmember Stolzmann and he hopes the floodplain resolution will help get this moving. Councilmember Keany agreed. Councilmember Keany moved to approve Resolution No. 26, Series 2018; Councilmember Maloney second. All in favor. DISCUSSION/DIRECTION/ACTION — LOCATION FOR THE MINERS CABINS Planner Trice stated the City acquired and relocated the Miners Cabins from 825 Lee Ayenue to temporary storage at the City Services building on January 4, 2018 so the City could take additional time to determine the best location for the cabins and complete the Iandmarking process. The next step is to conduct a feasibility analysis of three possible locations to determine their final home. Trice reviewed the eight proposed locations: John Breaux Memorial Park; Highway 42 & Pine Street; South Main Street (across from Elks Club); Nawatny Greenway; Miners Field, Golf Course; Arboretum; and Jefferson Avenue & Hutchinson Avenue. She noted the HPC recommendation for the following three sites: one cabin at Breaux Park or Miners Field and one at Highway 42 and Pine; both at Miners Field; and both at Jefferson and Hutchinson. Staff requests City Council approval to move forward with Phase 2 of the contract with analysis of three locations and direction on which three sites to analyze. Councilmember Loo asked if the Miners Field location would conflict with the use of the field and if there is a problem with the dedication of the property. Trice stated there was some concern the cabins could be hit by baseballs and damaged; but staff now feels the field will work without a problem. Staff has submitted a CIP to realign the outfield fence which would give more space. Trice stated the dedication issue has been resolved. Director Zuccaro stated all of this will be part of the analysis in the contract. Councilmember Loo stated the Parks Board should be consulted on this location. That site needs to be vetted carefully. Councilmember Maloney asked if this would affect the shape of miners field. Director Stevens stated the existing fence line is not an arc shape and needs to be realigned. He stated there are things we can do to mitigate the effect on the cabins. Trice stated if this site is chose for consideration, the trees and drainagewill be evaluated as well. Councilmember Stolzmann asked if it would be cheaper to evaluate fewer than three sites.
