Application Filed on 5-3-07

Taken By 7-2-07 (60 Days)
Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 2007-010
Applicant: Greg A. Nelson
Location: 6840 Shingle Creek Parkway
Request: Special Use Pernut Amendment
The applicant, Greg A. Nelson, is seeking an amendment to the Special Use Permit granted to
operate the Minnesota Martial Arts Academy which is an instructional use located at 6840
Shingle Creek Parkway. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to expand the size of the
operation by doubling the amount of square footage utilized and to incorporate two other athletic
training operations into the site. These include Athletic Performance, Inc. operated by Mr. Scott
M. Ramsdell and Coyote Chiropractic operated by Dr. Daniel Piper.
The property in question is zoned I-1 (Industrial Park) and is located on the north side of Shingle
Creek Parkway, easterly of the city garage and maintenance building. It is bounded on the south
by Shingle Creek Parkway with the Metropolitan Council Transit Facility on the opposite side of
the street; on the west by the city garage; on the east by another spec office/industrial building.
All of these properties are zoned I-1. To the north of the site is 69�' Avenue with R-1 zoned
property containing single family homes and a portion of Palmer Lake Park on the opposite side
of that street.
The Martial Arts Academy is regarded as an "instructional use" which is an allowable use in the
I-1 zone through the Special Use Permit process.
The City Council on March 28, 2005 approved Planning Commission Application No. 2005-
005 which authorized the Minnesota Martial Arts Academy Special Use Permit for an
instructional use at the same location. Condition No. 1 of. the approval required any expansion or
major alteration to the use to be subject to an amendment to the Special Use Permit. This
application is in response to that condition.
Mr. Nelson has operated the Minnesota Martial Arts Academy which specializes in instruction in
the martial arts and emphasizes physical fitness, self defense and character development for over
14 years in Brooklyn Center. Prior to his location at 6840 Shingle Creek Parkway he operated
the same business at the old Northbrook Shopping Center which was acquired by the City and
has been demolished pending redevelopment of the site.
As mentioned above, the expansion would double the size of tbe facility from its current 5,230
sq. ft. to 10,460 sq. ft. and would bring in Athletic Performance, Inc. a�d Coyote Chiropractic.
Both of these uses can he comprehended under this Special Use Permit in the I-1 zoning district.
Page 1
Mr. Nelson has provided a letter outlining the proposed expansion and addressing the standards
for Special Use Permits. Mr. Ransdell and Dr. Piper have also submitted written information
about their operations and how they believe they will meet the standards for Special Use Permits.
The standards for Special Use Permits require that the proposed special use promote and enhance
the general public welfare, not be detrimental to or endanger the health, safety and welfare of the
public; not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate
neighborhood nor substantially diminish or impair property values; not impede the normal and
orderly development of surrounding properties; be designed so as to minimize traffic on public
streets; and conform with applicable regulations of the district in which it is located.
Furthermore, it must be compatible with, complimentary to and of comparable intensity to
permitted I-1 uses and not have an adverse unpact upon the industrial park or the community.
Information has also been submitted by Mr. Nelson regarding existing parking on the site and
how the proposed expanded operation will not have a negative impact on this aspect of the use.
Currently there are 307 on site parking spaces at 6840 Shingle Creek Parkway. The existing
office to industrial use ratio at this building is about seven percent office, 93 percent industrial,
which requires 169 parking spaces. Surplus parking exists based on this ratio of office to
industrial uses. An approximate 40 percent office/60 percent industrial mix could exist in this
complex given the amount of available parking on site. The expanded Martial Arts Academy
will not exceed the surplus parking available on the site and can go forward based on parking
considerations. It should also be noted that much of the instructional time, athletic training and
chiropractic offerings are off peak from the normal business hours for existing tenants on the site.
We find no conflict between the applicanYs expanded proposal and the standazds far Special Use
Permits as well as the requirements for compatibility with permitted I-1 uses.
Mr. Nelson has also indicated modifications that will need to be made to the building with the
expanded operation. These will require the need for a building permit and compliance with
applicable building codes. A Certificate of Occupancy will also have to be issued regarding the
expanded area.
A public hearing has been scheduled and notices of the Planning Commission's consideration
have been sent to surrounding property owners.
RECOMMENDATI
ON
ri fr
All in all, it is believed that the standards for Special Use Permits and the special crite a o
allowing certain commercial use in the I-1 zoning district are met. It is recommended that the
application be approved subject to the following conditions:

Martial Arts Academy, Inc. as an instructional use in martial arts, a strength and
conditioning operation for training and athletic performance and chiropractic services
Page 2
specializing in health, education, injury prevention, personal and public safety. No
other use, not comprehended by this application shall be permitted. Any further
expansion or major alteration to the use shall be subject to an amendment to this
Special Use Permit.
2. The Special Use Pernut is subject to all applicable codes, ordiriances and regulations.
Any violation thereof may be grounds for revocation.
3. Tenant improvement plans are subject to review and approval by the Building Official
with respect to applicable codes through the building permit process.

Dear Ron,
Per our discussio f the new lans of ex ansion. As
n regarding expanding our current facility, I am submitting a copy o p p
we discussed I will sub-leasing to Athletic Performance Inc, and Coyote Chiropractic, as well as using appro�mately
1,500 square feet to expand our current taining area. Regarding the Standazds for Special Use Permits I believe all of
the above mentioned companies meet the standards set out by the city council. Attached are individual letters dealing
with the five (5) areas listed in section 35-220, under section 2, of Standards for Special Use Permits.
Also, I am enclosing information confirming the parking use for this property according to the Landlord, Steiner
Development. We have reviewed the current uses at the property and the proportion of office use at the property.
I Since the building is currently 7% office (7318 sq/ft of 105,430sq/ft of building) the number of sta.11s required for the
building is 36.6 sta.11s for office and 131.8 stalls for wazehouse; I count 307 stalls. All other surrounding businesses are
currently day companies, the majority of a11 of our clientele are evening 5:30pm or later. Also, the businesses on either
side of the suites 23, 24, 25, and 26 are not heavy users. Lastly, we have never had a complaint from any business or
resident regarding the amount of cazs parking or of any traffic issues.
Steiner Development has already agreed to the expansion and has submitted the rough plans of construction.
Steiner Development will be doing the build out, attached are the proposed changes. Steiner Development will be:
1) Putting an 8' wide x 10' High opening between the two facilities. This opening will be in the rear of the
Academy.
2) Installing a 3' x 6'8" solid core door with 10" sidelight and an 18" x 18" window.
3) Constructing two (2) moms that will be used primarily for changing areas.
Steiner Development will obtain all necessary building permits to do the build out.
The actual square footage for each area is 5,230 sq/ft., total square foota.ge is 10,460 sq/ft. The Minnesota Martial Arts
Academy will be expanSing it's training area by 1,500 sq/ft., Athletic Performance Inc. will use the rest of the open
warehouse space, and Coyote Chiropractic will be using one of the Office spaces.
We have continued to promote and enhance the general public welfare and have not been a detriment to or endaugered
the health, safety aud welfaze of the public in any way, shape or form. In fact, the Minnesota Martial Arts Academy
continues to bring students from all over the Twin Cities metro area into local Brooklyn Center businesses.
Thank You,

Dear Ronald A. Warren,
Regarding the Standards for Special Use Permits I believe the Minnesota Martial Arts Academy meets the standards set
out by the City Council. Listed on the Special Use Permits Section 35-220, under secrion 2, Standards for Special Use
Permits there are 5 azeas in which the potential tenant must demonstrate specific criteria:
a. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the special use will promote and enhance the general
welfare and will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals or comfort.
The Minnesota Martial Arts Academy is a school which emphasizes physical fitness, self-defense and character
development. As a Martial Arts Academy owner for over 12 years is Brooklyn Center I have always had positive relations
with all business and residential neighbors. In fact, the Academy and all of its' students have made great e f'forts to uphold
the tenets of the martial arts which include compassion, discipline, honor, humility, and respect The Academy strives to
maintain a very professional appearance, and expects professionalrsm from all of its' instructors and a high degree of
morals,from our students. Having a bz�siness that is in the business of health, personal safety, the development of
character will only help add a positive image to the warehouse.
b. The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in t6e immediate vicinity
or the purposes already permitted, nor substanHally diminish and impair property values within the
neigh borhood.
As a professional martial arts school it is necessary to uphold a professional appearance, irrside and outside of the
Academy. It is a fact that the majority of potential students are concerned with the appearance of a prvspective school.
With this in mind it is absolutely necessary to uphold a professiorrul standard in and around the Martial Arts Academy
and this only help the value within the neighborhood.
c. The estabtishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly developmeut and improvement
of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district.
The activities of the Martial Arts Academy will be irrside the building just as with all of the tenants of the building.
With all classes inside, the Academy will no d�erent than the other businesses in the warehouse facility. However, our
hours of operation are primarily in the evening afler the other tenants are gone. The Academy should in no way impede
the normal and orderly development of the current tenants or neighborhood and will bring more positive interest to the
warehouses and area in general.
d. Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress, egress and parking so designed as to
minimize traffic congestion in t6e public streets.
The Minnesota Martial Arts Academy is currently located in a small shopping center called North Brook Plaza We
have never had any problems with congesting the public streets or cause any probtems within the parking lot. The
Academy's class schedule is designed to allow only a specific number of students to come at arry one time. This is done to
ensure that class sizes are not too large. Having this type of schedule minimizes congestion, inside and outside the
Academy. The property has adequate ingress and egress already on site.
e. The special use s6a11, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district�in which it is
located.
The function of our Academy, Martial Arts instruction, is a permined function with regards to the Special Use Permit
and we will comply with all ciry regulations. We have been operating within the Brooklyn Center limits for over 12 years
and would like to stay in Brooklyn Center.

�ear Ronald A. Warren,
Regarding the Standards for Special Use Permits, I betieve Athletic Performance Inc. meets the standards set out by the City CounciL
Listed on the Special Use Permits-Section 35-220, under section 2, Standards for Special Use Permits there are five areas in which the
potential tenant must demonstrate specific criteria:
a. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the special use will promote and enhance the general welfare and
wili not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals or comfort.
Athletic Performance Inc. is a strength and conditioning business which emphasizes physical fitness, personal growth and character.
As the President ofAthletic Performance Inc. for the past four years, I have continuously strived to encourage and maintain positive
relations with a11 members of the businesses and residential community. I and the athletes that have trained with Athletic Performance
Inc. have made great efforts to uphold a healthy sense of competition and good sportsmanship through athletic events. Athletic
Performance Inc. strives to maintain a professional appearance and expects professionalism from all of its representatives and
athletes. Both I and one ojthe other owners ofAthletic Performance Inc. are full-time police officers and are thereby held to a high
level of morality and professionalism at all times. This high level of morality and professionalism will be brought to the Brooklyn
Center location. Having a tenant that is in the business offitness and personal growih will only help to add a positive image to the
warehouse location.
b. The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity or
purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood.
As a professional strength and conditioning business, it is necessary to uphold a professional appearance wt all times. The majority of
the athletes that train with Athletic Performance Inc., are up and coming high school athletes looking jor a future in athletics. The
majoriry of the athletes are striving to became collegiate level athletes and are therefore compelled to be professional at all times for
their future could be dependant on it. Couple this level of professionalism displayed by the athletes with the level ojprofessionalism
isplayed by Athletic Performance Inc. representatives and you have a tenant that will only help to uphold the value of the
neighborhood.

surrounding property for uses permitted in the district.
The activities of the Athletic Performance Inc. shall take place inside the business itself just as the other tenants in the building. The
hours of operation are primarily in the late afternoon and evening once the other tenants are gone. Athletic Performance Inc. should

warehouses and area in general.

The way that classes are scheduled at Athletic Performance Inc., allows for no more that twelve to fifteen athletes to be inside the
business at any one time. Due to the fact that the majoriry of the athletes are high school aged, and the fact that the classes are
conducted in small group settings, the athletes wi11 predominately by arriving at the business via carpools. These small class sizes,
coupled with the carpooling will not have a major impact on parking and will minimize vehicle traf�'zc to and from the business.

Ronald A Warren,
Regarding the Standards for Special Use Permits, I believe that Coyote Chiropractic meets
the Standards set out by the city of Brooklyn Center City Council. Listed on the Special Use
Permits section 35-220, under section 2, Standards for Special use Permits there are 5
areas in which the potential tenant must demonstrate specific criteria:
[a] The establishment, maintenance or operation of the special use will promote and
enhance the general welfare and will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health
safety, morals or comfort.
Coyote Chiropractic's mission statement is; To improve the health and fitness of individuals,
families and communities through exercise, nutrition, chiropractic and health education. As the
owner of a professional business for 12 years, I have always had good relationship with the city,
community and business and residential neighbors. Coyote Chiropractic always strives to
maintain a professional appearance and the expectation of professionalism from all if it's clients
and patients. Coyote Chiropractic is in the business of health, education, injury prevention,
personal and public safety and will only serve to continue to increase the professional image of
the warehouse and it's business neighbors.
[b] The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the
immediate vicinity or the purposes already permitted, aor substantially diminish or impair
property values within the neighborhood.
Coyote Chiropractic as professional business it is necessary to uphold a professional appearance
inside the rented space and outside of the building. The health and safety of all our patients and
clients is our number one priority. With this in mind, it is always necessary to uphold and
maintain a professional standard in and azound Coyote Chiropractic, A.PI and Minnesota Martial
Arts Academy and the surrounding neighborhood.
[cj The establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly
development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district.
All activities of Coyote Chiropractic will be maintained within the building just as most tenants.
Coyote Chiropractic should in no way impede the normal and orderly development of the current
tenants or the neighborhood and will bring more positive interest to the warehouses and the axea.

(d] Adequate measures 6ave been or will be taken to provide ingress, egress and parking so
designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets.
For the past 8 years Coyote Chiropractic has been located in a relatively small professional
building with limited parking and near a busy, high traffic intersection with no concerns or
problems. The nature of our business is that clients/patients arrive one at a time or in small groups
and in no way would interfere with traffic or parking.
[e] The special use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the
district in which it is located.
Coyote Chiropractic functions as a professional business focusing on personal health and safeiy
and education and therefore is a permitted function with regards to the Speciai use Permit and we
will comply with all city regulations.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Curt Boganey, City Ma�����
DATE: May 24, 2007
SUBJECT: Licensing Hearing Brookdale Ford
Recommendation:
A motion to direct staff to either prepare a resolution revoking the Motor Vehicle License
of Brookdale Ford or sustaining the license of Brookdale Ford is recommended.
Background:
On or about April4 2007 the City Clerk received an Application for License Renewal
from Brookdale Ford, Inc for a Motor Vehicle Dealership license at 2500 County Road
10. In accordance witfi our normal procedures this application was submitted to the City
Council for approval at the City Council meeting of April9 2007. The application was
routinely approved on that date.
Subsequent to this meeting and after being advised by staff that Mr. Grossman was
considering opening an exclusive used caz lot at the subject licensed location, I spoke to
City Attorney LeFevere to determine if the proposed use of exclusive used car sales was
allowable under City Ordinance 23-1204. The result of that conversation was that the
ordinance as written would not preclude the proposed use.
On April 17�', staff and I met with Mr. Grossman to determine if there may be an interest
on his part to sell the Brookdale Ford Site to the EDA. During that meeting Mr.
Grossman indicated that he was possibly interested in a sale of the property but that he
also felt he might choose to open a used car dealership as an alternative. My response to
Mr. Grossman was that to the best of my knowledge the City could not prevent him from
opening a used car dealership the proposed site.
Subsequent to my meeting with Mr. Grossman, I spoke to the City Attorney who advised
that upon further review of the City Ordnance a used car sales operation is not allowed if
the value of the required improvements on the site were not at least twice the value of the
land. On May 7�' I notified Mr. Grossman if this interpretation from the City Attorney
and apologized for any misunderstanding that may have occurred.
Subsequent to May 7�' staff determined that Brookdale Ford had commenced selling used
cars only at the subject property. On May 17�' the City Attorney sent a notice to Mr.
Grossman stating that a hearing has been scheduled for Tuesday May 29�' before the City
Council. The purpose of the hearing is to determine if the license issued to Brookdale
Ford on April 9 should be continued, revoked or if some other action should be taken.

Re: Public Hearing on Proposed Revocation of Brookdale Ford
Motor Vehicle Dealer License
Dear Mr. Grossman:
I represent the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, as legal counsel. It is the understanding of
Brooklyn Center city staff that the automobile sales business operated at the former Brookdale Ford
property is no longer operated under a new car franchise. As you were advised by letter dated May
7, 2007, from City Manager Cornelius Boganey, Brooklyn Center City Code, Section 23-1204
authorizes issuance of Class A motor vehicle dealers licenses only for facilities that are operating
under a new car franchise or for facilities where the licensee "operates and maintains in Brooklyn
Center an enclosed garage, showroom, or other car display or rental structure on the land, which
structure [has] a true and full city assessor's value equal to at least twice the true and full value of
land used by such licensee in the sale of new and used cars."
This letter will serve as notice that a hearing will be hetd before the Brooklyn Center City Council
pursuant to Brooklyn Center City Code, Section 23-1210 to consider the revocation of the Class A
motor vehicle dealer license issued to Brookdale Ford for the year commencing May 1, 2007. The
ground for the proposed revocation is that the car dealership operating at 2500 County Road 10 in the
City of Brooklyn Center is not operating under a new car franchise and does not operate and maintain
in Brooklyn Czr�ter an er�c�csed garage, shcwroom or other car display or rental structure on the land,
which structure has a true and full city assessor's value equal to at least twice the true and full value
of land used by the licensee in the sale of new and used cars. The hearing will be held on Tuesday,
May 29, 2007, before the City Council in the Council charnbers at Brooklyn Center City Hall at 6301
Shingle Creek Parkway, Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter
may be heard by the Council. You have the right to appear and participate in the hearing and present
evidence.
Very truly yours,
C�

Dear Mr. Grossman:
On April 17�' we met regarding your possible interest in selling the former Brookdale Ford property to
the EDA/City of Brooklyn Center. During the course of that meeting you indicated that you may decide
ert as a site for an exclu.sive used car sales operation. At ttie meeting, I stated that the
to usethe ro y
P P
City would take no action to prevent your reuse of the property for this purpose provided all
requirements for the City are met. I further indicated that I was unaware of any requirement that would
prohibit this use. My comments were made based on a prior conversation with the City Attorney
regarding interpretation of the City Code.
I later received a telephone call from the City Attomey wherein he advised that in his more recent
review of City Code Ordinance Section 23-1204, that an exclusive used cars sales license (one not
operating under a new car franchise or contract) may only be issued "if such licensee operates and
maintains in Brooklyn Center an enclosed garage, showroom or other car display or rental structure on
the land, wlv.ch structure shall have a true and full Cit�.� Assessor's value eoual to at least riuice the true
and full value of land u.sed b� such licensee in the sale of new and used cars."
To the best of my knowledge the former Brookdale Ford property does not meet the requirements set
forth above and therefore the City Code would not allow the issuance of a Ciass A license for exclusive
used car sales at this location, as I believe you may desire to do.
I do apologize if this information has resulted in any inconvenience to you. Please let rne know if you
have questions ar concerns.
Sincerely,
Corneli Bog y

COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Todd Blomstrom, Director of Public Works
DATE: May 21, 2007
SUBJECT: Resolution Declaring a Public Nuisance and Ordering the Removal of Diseased
Trees
Recommendation:
Public Works staff recommends that the Brooklyn Center City Council declare a public nuisance and
order the removal of diseased trees as listed on the resolution document.
Background:
The City of Brooklyn Center has maintained a policy of removing diseased trees promptly (in three
weeks or less) and enforcement of proper disposal in order to prevent tree disease from escalating in
our community. The removal of diseased and other nuisance trees is defined in City Ordinance
Chapter 20.
It is anticipated that a similar resolution will be submitted far council consideration each meeting
during the summer and early fall as additional diseased trees are identified and marked.
Budget Issues:
The City's share of the cost of removal for diseased trees within the public right-of-way and City
property is included in the 2007 Budget under the Public Works Forestry operating budget.
I
Ddsease Tree Removal Resodution

RESOLUTION DECLARING A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND ORDERING THE
REMOVAL OF DISEASED TREES
WHEREAS, a Notice to Abate Nuisance and Diseased Tree Removal Agreement has
been issued to the owners of certain properties in the City of Brooklyn Center giving the owners
twenty (20) days to remove diseased trees on the owners' property; and
WHEREAS, the City can expedite the removal of these diseased trees by declaring
them a public nuisance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota that:
l. The diseased trees at the following addresses are hereby declared to be a public
nuisance:
PROPERTY OWNER PROPERTY ADDRESS TREE#
JOHN DEBORAH SCHEIBEL 3200 67 AVE N 1
ISAAC ONDIEKI TOM NYAKERIGA 6742 PERRY AVE N 3
ALBERT SHARON QUICK 6712 DREW AVE N 4
2. After twenty (20) days from the date of the notice, the property owner(s) will
receive a second written notice providing five (5) business days in which to
contest the determination of the City Council by requesting, in writing, a hearing.
Said request shall be filed with the City Clerk.
3. After five (5) days, if the property owner fails to request a hearing, the tree(s)
shall be removed by the City. All removal costs, including legal, financing, and

To: Curt Boganey, City Manager
From: Daniel Jordet, Director of Fiscal Support Services
Re: Resolution amount correction
The resolution adopted on Monday, May 14� 2007 to rescind a previous
assessment of unpaid utilities was incorrect. A bankruptcy court decision
eliminated superseded the assessment of the unpaid utilities for Ms. Beatrice
Williams. The amount on the resolution, 267.08 was the amount of the utility
bill owed by Ms. Williams and is the utility loss in the transaction. However, a
charge of 30.00 for administrative costs is induded in the assessment and
should have been included inthe rescinded total making it 297.08. A corrected
resolution is attached.
Member introduced the following resolution and
moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 2007-75 AND ADOPTING
CORRECTED RESOLUTION RESCINGING ASSESSMENT OF UNPAID
UTILITIES TO 5903 EMERSON AVENUE NORTH
WHEREAS, the City Council certified assessment of unpaid utilities to the
Hennepin County Assessor on 12 Maxch 2007; and
WHEREAS, the property owned by Beatrice Williams at 5903 Emerson Avenue
North was on the list of properties with unpaid utilities; and
WHEREAS, the Owner, Ms. Williams, had filed a petition for bankruptcy
protection prior to the actual certification of these unpaid utilities; and
WHEREAS, subsequent to that petition, Ms. Williams was granted discharge of
debts by the District Court; and
WHEREAS, the City Council approved a Resolution on Monday, May 14, 2007,
rescinded the assessment in the amount of $267.08 which did not include $30.00 for administrative
costs.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center that the assessment of unpaid utilities to the property at 5903 Emerson Avenue
North certified on 12 March 2007 in the amount of 297.08 be and hereby is rescinded.

Parte OFP or the HRO to the judge to sign. The judge will either grant the Ex-Parte
OFP/HRO (sign it), or deny it. If an Ex-Parte OFP is granted, our civil court
advocate gets a hearing date and delivers the Ex-Parte OFP to the Domestic Abuse

then held about a week later. If a judge approves an HRO, there is only a hearing if
the respondent requests one within 45 days, otherwise the HRO is in effect for two

MEMORANDUM
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: '�`�Judith Bergeland, EBHC General Manager
RE: Water Tower Repair
DATE: May 22, 2007
Last year we began to find pieces of the rusted floor of the water tower falling to the
ground around the pump house. Further investigation revealed rust damage not only to
the floor but to some of the support braces. Following is the process used to determine
a solution to the problem:
BACKGROUND:
KLM Engineering was given paint samples from the debris that had fallen from the
tower. The report indicates trace elements of chromium contamination that would
require hazardous material abatement and a new layer of paint.
A water tank inspection was performed by KLM. Although they recognize that the tank
no longer holds water, their report mandates OSHA standards for the repair/replacement
of the tank. Estimated cost for the repair work was quoted at $173,750 and did not
include engineering and inspection services estimated at an additional $30,500.
Because there are restoration funds available through the Minnesota Historical Society
Preservation Office, a grant writer was hired to prepare a grant request. A presentation
to the grant committee was made and we received an award of $75,000 in matching
funds (meaning we have to expend at a minimum that amount also).
Following a conversation with SEH (Short, Elliott, Hendriksen Engineering) David Webb
from General Construction was contacted for a second quote on the project.
Recognizing that the tower and tank are not used for water storage, their bid for repair
arrived at $59,870. Webb has indicated that their company has a structural engineer on
staff who signs off on a project prior to beginning work thereby assuming any liability
for the work. This bid does not include lead abatement but only "paint to match
existing" on the actual repair, indicating that the existing coating should last another
three-four years. However, verbally this company has spoken with a subcontractor for
abatement and repaint and been quoted $100,000. Doing both repair and repaint at
this time would allow full use of the grant that has been awarded.
i

(763) 569-6300 FAX: (763) 569-6320 www.earlebrown.com
Also requested of KLM Engineering was an estimate on cost to destroy (take down
permanently) the tank and support columns. This estimate was quoted at $35,000.
OPTIONS:
Do nothing and assume any liability if tower falls due to a strong wind and the
continued deterioration of the tank and supports.
Remove the tank and supporting braces at an estimated cost of $35,000
(Consideration has to be given to the impact on the facilities historical
designation which may change if the tank is removed. Consideration
also has to be given to how ctients identify the facility by the presence
of the tank although the hotel installation will limit exposure from
the West side of the facility.)
*Hire General Construction to do the repair work as outlined in their quote at
a cost of $59,870. (Quote dated May 10, 2007) This secures the tank and
provides for three or four years of use prior to contracting for lead abatement
and repainting. Doing only the repair would require an adjustment to the grant
request and may mean that the entire cost would be absorbed by the capital
fund.
*Hire General Construction to do the repair work as outlined in their quote at
a cost of $59,870. (Quote dated May 10, 2007) Include their subcontractor
for the abatement and repainting at approximately $100,000 using all the grant
funds and matching capital funds.
Hire KLM Engineering to do the repair/replacement work on the tank and
supports, including painting, at a cost of $173,750 plus $30,500 (quote
dated July 5, 2006) for engineering and specification work. Again, using all
the grant funds and matching capital funds. KLM may adjust their quote to
2007 figures however I have not contacted them.
*Complete grant paperwork and request funds appropriate to action chosen.
Significant changes in the grant request may mean that we would have
to resubmit our request next year if the grant committee doesn't approve
the suggested changes.
RECOMMENDATION:
Since General Construction has the low bid, the availability to subcontract abatement
and paint, and has a structural engineer to approve the project, it seems appropriate to
use the grant funds and our capital funds to hire this company to repair and repaint the
tower in a manner that is consistent with the desire of the historical societies policies for
preservation.

Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission
FROM: Judie A. Anderson Administratar
RE: Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission
2008 Operating Budget
At its May 10, 2007 meeting, the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission ("Commission") adopted
its general fund budget for calendar year 2008. A copy of the budget and the proposed assessment against each
member city are attached.
Article VIII, Subdivision 4 of the Joint Powers Ageement that established the Commission provides that a
member city may object to the budget by giving written notice to the Commission before August 1, 2007. If any
objection is received, the Commission will hear the objections and may modify the budget.
An amendment to the Joint Powers Ageement also sets an "assessment cap" on the Commission's
administrative budget. The budget cap can only be exceeded if the city councils of a majority of the Commission
members adopt resolutions approving the higher assessment prior to September 1, 2007. The amount of the cap
for 2007 will be $292,760. The proposed 2008 budget adopted by the Commission DOES NOT exceed the
budget cap.
The line items included in the 2008 budget are discussed below:
Bud�et INCOME
Line Expianation
1 The Commission increased its application fee structure for 2006 in order to recover a greater share of the
cost of project reviews. While the revised structure does not fully fund that activity, it does appear to be
recovering a greater share. In 2006, fees were $21,350 and project review expenditures were $36,359, or
about 59%. In 2005 application fees recovered about 47% of project review costs. While it is difficult to
predict the number of project reviews that will be completed in a particular year, the Commission increased
the expected income budget for application fees from $12,000 to $15,000.
3 The budget was increased for expected revenues from interest. The Commission has recovered from its
cash flow issues from a few years ago and now maintains a healthy fund balance in its 4M fund. In 2006
interest earnings were over $9,000.
7 The MPCA grant for the dissolved oxygen/biotic integrity TMDL and a corresponding expense are shown
in the 2007 budget and not the 2008 budget, even though that work will take place in both years. These
t the state's fiscal ear not the
reimbursable ro'ects roceed on their own schedule and according o y,

9 The proposed assessment of $292,760 is a 2.4 percent increase over 2007.
10 The proposed Commission share for those capital projects listed in the CIP for construction 2007/pay 2008.
These projects must be considered through the public hearing process prior to being ordered. The
Commission must take additional affirmative action to order these projects and expend these funds.
Bud�et I EXPENDITURES
Line Expianation
12 The general administrative services line item exceeded the budget in 2006 as the TAC began meeting
more regularly. This separate line item is to pxovide administrative support (scheduling, minutes, etc) for
regular TAC meetings and any special TAC, TMDL or other meetings that require administrative support.
28 The chloride TMDL annual report was funded from an above-the-cap assessment in 2007. This item is
proposed to be funded in 2008 and beyond through reallocation and the assessment inflation increase.
29 The Commission will conduct an evaluation of the prewetting equipment's effectiveness at reducing
chloride loading as part of the nrewetting grant activities.
31 No adjustments to the volunteer stream monitoring budget are recommended for 2008. This may change
based on discussions with Hennepin County as they consider changes to the RiverWatch program.
32 The number of wetland sites monitored was increased to three. 'This activity was funded from an above-
the-cap assessment in 2007, but is proposed to be funded in 2008 and beyond through reallocation of
existing funds and the assessment inflation increase.
33 This activity was funded in 2007 from an above-the-cap assessment. It will not be continued in 2008 as the
Commission continues to discuss options for lake aquatic plant monitoring.
37 The Commission doubled the size of the education grant program in 2007 through an above-the-cap
assessment increase. The EPOC is in the process of retooling this program into a more focused program
and does not recommend that the additional funding be continued in 2008 until the revisions are
completed.
38 The chloride TMDL annual workshop was funded from an above-the-cap assessment in 2007. This item
is proposed to be funded in 2008 and beyond through reallocation and the assessment inflation increase.
46 The Commission budgets funds annually to prepare management plans, such as the Shingle Creek
Corridor Study, Phase II Stream Assessment, Chloride TMDL Implementation Plan, and the upcoming
Lake Management Plans. This funding will be continued at the same level for 2008, but the planning
activity will be refocused (see below).
50-51 These line items are the proposed Commission share for those capital projects that are listed in the CIP far
construction 2007/pay 2008. These projects must be considered through the public hearing process prior
to being ordered. The Commission must take additional affirmative action to order these projects and
expend these funds. This action includes: receiving a request from the affected member city(ies) to
consider the project; providing public notice and holding a hearing; and ordering the nroject.
Management Plans/Monitoring
As the Commission and cities transition from management planning to implementation and adaptive
management, additional monitoring will be required to adequately evaluate progress in improving lakes
and streams. There are gaps in existing data, principally for the lakes, that will need to be filled to
provide an adequate baseline and to take the TMDL findings and convert them into detailed lake
management plans. These gaps include aquatic vegetation surveys, lake profile information, and sediment
data used to estimate internal nutrient loading. Funds annually budgeted strictly for management plans
($15,000) will be refocused to provide both management planning and monitoring to fill data gaps. It was
originally estimated that completing lake management plans from the TMDLs would be a two-year effort.
However, in completing the TMDLs, the importance of filling the data gaps has become very clear. By

May 15, 2007
2008 Operating Budget
staying within the $15,000 annual budget, it will take longer to complete the lake management plans, but
they will be better plans, especially for the shallow lakes.
Following completion of the management plans, additional monitoring will be necessary on an ongoing
basis to detect change and improvement as BMPs are implemented in the watershed and in-lake. The
TMDLs are set up to evaluate progress based on "Adaptive Management;" that is, implement
improvements, monitor and measure change, and adjust improvement strategies. Adaptive management
and activities such as the ongoing additional monitoring programs will be a central discussion of the
upcoming Third Generation Plan that will begin development in 2010-2011.
The Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission requests approval of its 2008 Operating Budget.
