D. Superintendent September 23, 2002 Mr. Jim Glasoe, Dir. of Community Activities, Recreation and Services SCHOOL BOARD City of Brooklyn Center 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Greg Thielsen Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 Chair Cheryl Jechorek Dear Mr. Glasoe: Vice -Chair Tom Shinnick I regret you find it necessary to recommend to the City Commissioners that we may Treasurer not proceed with any demolition or earth work, due to your concern about lack of progress on Joanne Goddard the agreement. Clerk Although we began meeting in February we did not receive the promised first draft of an Daniel Krekelberg agreement until August 8th. I had called several times inquiring and had initiated an August 9th Director meeting to discuss the draft. On August 9th we did present a list of those items we thought each Arneuwell Benifield should share the cost of or be responsible for as an individual agency. Since we had no time to Director review the agreement we did not discuss it. I shared the draft with our Board on August 12, 2002, and we itemized the list of park and school property play area development. Our Board took action for us to proceed with drawings so we expected our negotiations related to the agreement to proceed. On August 19th we held another meeting with you and Mr. McCauley hoping to reach further agreements, however as indicated in your note following receipt of the minutes we were not in agreement on several items that we had thought we did agree upon. We discussed this agreement and our shared and individual costs again in August with our Board and then held a meeting with our attorney regarding the agreement. I received a revised copy on September 20th from him. Neither party has entered into the agreement specific lists of what we share costs on and what we each are individually responsible for on the park development and afterwards as we share utilization. We believe these are an integral part of the agreement and thus Steve and I have provided these in our redrafted agreement. I hope you are sharing that we are moving forth as quickly as we can due to our obligations to confer with our Board and attorney and that we have met all other deadlines for committees, etc. before and since we received your draft August 8th. Also, would you please let us know to whom we should send print copies of plans for our city review, as we sent a set apparently incorrectly and Steve made every effort to provide a second set when he met with John Harlow. We want to cooperate and meet your expectations for a smooth transition of property and hope that we can expedite the process with meetings in the next few weeks. Sincerely, Antoinette Johns, Ed.D.

Gary Gravitt, 5319 Northport Drive, addressed the Council to express his frustration with the delayed completion of the overall project and the mess that he has had to put up with during the project. Mr. Gravitt discussed that he knew very little about the project and now is being asked to pay for a project that he believes did not need to take place on his street. Mayor Kragness asked Mr. Gravitt if he attended any of the informational meetings.

She informed the Council of an incident that she believes was verbal abuse from the contractor. Mayor Kragness apologized for the verbal abuse that she might have taken and questioned her if she had contacted the Engineering Department about that incident. Ms. Rymanowski responded that she had not contacted the Engineering Department and had not known whom to contact about issues that have arisen during this project. Mayor Kragness reminded her that the Engineering Department has been the main contact for construction projects and that she should have contacted them. Dick Sharp addressed the Council to question the assessment payoff for 5317 Brooklyn Boulevard and when the project would be completed. He believes that it is not fair for residents to pay for a project when the project is not completed. He suggested that the Council propose a 50 percent payoff now and the remaining 50 percent payoff without interest when the project is complete. Mr. Sharp asked the City Attorney to address the issue. City Attorney Charlie LeFevere discussed that it is within the discretion of the City Council on partial payments and that they do have to abide by State Law regarding time limits. Mayor Kragness reminded the residents that the options they have to make payments on these • assessments are as follows: • Pay the entire amount of the special assessment, without interest, if payment is made any time between September 10, 2002, and October 10, 2002. • From October 11, 2002, through November 25, 2002, the property owner may pay the total assessment, with interest calculated from October 1, 2002, to the date of payment. • If payments are made with property taxes, the first payment will be due with taxes in 2003. The total principle will be payable in annual installments for the period stated on the levy roll. Interest is paid on the unpaid balance. • Partial prepayments (such as paying half now and certifying the balance) are not allowed under current assessment policy. Marta Schlavin, 5907 Upton Avenue North, addressed the Council to ask that the Council consider extending he p ayment date to November 25 2002 since the r questioned e project is not complete and g a pY � p J p q when the project is estimated to be complete. She stated that she would be happy to pay for the project once it is completed. Mr. Brink informed the Council that the proj ect completion date had not been established and that he • anticipates mid - October for a completion date. 09/09/02 -7- DRAFT Mr. LeFevere informed the Council that they could continue the public hearing to September 23, • 2002, to get a better outlook of when the project will be complete since the assessments do not have to be certified until November 30, 2002. He stated that notification to the City's local newspaper is not needed and that continuing the public hearing would be sufficient. Councilmember Nelson questioned if there were any recourse of action against the contractor. Mr. Brink informed the Council that the contract does have provisions for liquidated damages; however, the contractor can ask for an extended completion date because of weather or issues that arise such as the issue they are having with Excel Energy. At this time is not known if the City may or may not be able to issue liquidated damages. Councilmember Ricker stated that he believes some residents have valid concerns and asked if the public hearing could be continued to September 23, 2002, in order to do some fact finding and confirm a completion date. Councilmember Peppe requested more information as to what set the project back and what the residents would pay in interest if they choose not to pay until the project was complete. Mr. McCauley informed the Council that a report would be prepared and address the issues raised and brought back to the Council at the September 23, 2002, meeting. Ernie Olson, 3200 61 Avenue North, addressed the Council to discuss that the storm sewer replacement stops east of his property and he is questioning why he would have to pay the proposed assessment for his property for a storm sewer replacement. Councilmember Nelson made a motion to continue the public hearing to September 23, 2002. A resident asked if this continuation would include the public hearing for Improvement project Nos. 2002 -05 and 2002 -06, Garden City South. Mr. LeFevere discussed that the Council had already made a motion to close the public hearing for Improvement Project Nos. 2002 -05 and 2002 -06, Garden City South, and adopted the resolutions. The Council could direct staff not to certify the assessments for Improvement Projects 2002 -05 and 2002 -06, Garden City South, and continue that public hearing at the September 23, 2002, meeting, at which time the public hearing could either be re- opened or rescinded.

Notice of any adjournment of the hearing shall be adequate if the minutes of the meeting so adjourned show the time and place when and where the hearing is to be continued. i Minnesota Statutes Section 429.061 Sub. 2. All assessments shall bear interest at such rate as the resolution determines. To the first installment of each assessment shall be added interest on the entire assessment from a date specified in the resolution levying the assessment, not earlier than the date of the resolution, until December 31 of the year in which the first installment is payable, and to each subsequent installment shall be added interest for one year on all unpaid installments; or alternatively, any assessment may be made payable in equal annual installments including principal and interest, each in the amount annually required to pay the principal over such period with interest at such rate as the resolution determines, not exceeding the maximum period and rate specified above. Minnesota Statutes Section 429.061 Subd. 3 Subd. 3. Transmitted to auditor, prepayment. After the adoption of the assessment, the clerk shall transmit a certified duplicate of the assessment roll with each installment, including interest, set forth separately to the county auditor of the county to be extended on the proper tax lists of the county; but in lieu of such certification, the council may in its discretion direct the � clerk to file all assessment rolls in the clerk's office and to certify annually to the county auditor, on or before November 30 in each year, the total amount of installments of and interest on assessments on each parcel of land in the municipality which are to become due in the following year. Minnesota Statutes Section 429.061 Subd. 3 Cont. The owner of any property so assessed may, at any time prior to certification of the assessment or the first installment thereof to the county auditor, pay the whole of the assessment on such property, with interest accrued to the date of payment, to the municipal treasurer, except that no interest shall be charged if the entire assessment is paid within 30 days from the adoption thereof; and, except as hereinafter provided, the owner may at any time prior to November 15 of any year, prepay to the treasurer of the municipality having levied said assessments, the whole assessment remaining due with interest accrued to December 31 of the year in which said prepayment is made. Minnesota Statues Section 429.061 Subd. 3. Cont. Option The council may by ordinance authorize the partial prepayment of assessments, in such manner as the ordinance may provide, prior to certification of the assessment or the first installment thereof to the county auditor. Options: City Attorney's Opinion • 1. The interest -free period for special assessments begins to run from the adoption of the assessment. Therefore, the first day of the 30 days would be the day following the adoption of the assessment roll. • Depending on the date of the adoption, there may be a i period during which the landowner can prepay the � assessment with interest accrued only to the date of � payment. This is allowed up until the time the special � assessment levy is certified to the county. (In most cases, however, this window of opportunity to pay interest with accrued interest up to the date of payment falls within the 30 day window for payment with no interest.) Options: City Attorney's Opinion • After the levy is certified to the county and the 30 day interest -free period has expired, the assessments will be placed on the tax rolls for collection in the following years. No partial payment of those assessments is allowed. However, they may be prepaid at any time prior to November 15 of any year. Interest would be paid with the prepayment until December 31 of the year in which prepayment is made. Options: City Attorney's Opinion • Under statute, the assessment roll should be certified to the county on or before November 30 of each year. Options: City Attorney: Date Interest Accrual • If it wished, the assessment hearing could be held immediately following the improvement hearing. In such a case, the statutory 30 day interest -free period would run from the date of adoption of the levy. In such a case, the period during which the special assessment could be prepaid with interest to the date of payment would then extend until the City certified the levy to the county. However, the assessment resolution can specify a later date for the commencement of the accrual of interest. Therefore, the City could, for example, set November first as the date that interest would commence, and a landowner could prepay at any time up to November first without interest. • City Council Agenda Item No. 8c OX City of Brooklyn Center A Millennium Community To: Mayor Kragness and ouncil Members La lson, Peppe, and Ricker From: Michael J.

There is one section of general information and then separate sections with information specific to each project area. SPECIAL ASSESSMENT POLICIES AND STATUTES Under current City practices and policies, street improvement cts are ordered in t y p p projects he Spring and residents are notified of the amount of special assessments that will be levied against each residential property in September. Included in your materials are copies of the minutes of the hearings held for the past 7 years in September to adopt the assessment • roll. As indicated in the minutes we have had years in which no one spoke regarding the assessments and years in which people have raised concerns about being assessed prior to final completion of the project. In 2000 the estimated substantial completion was October 12 and the assessment roll was adopted on September 11 Final completion of the projects has not occurred prior to adoption of the assessment roll. Mr. LeFevere has outlined some of the statutory provisions relating to special assessments. The last date to certify assessments to the County is November 30 and the last day to prepay without interest is November 15 under State law, regardless of what the City would choose to adopt as a policy. Also, Minnesota Statutes provide a 30 day window from the date of the adoption of the assessment roll for payments without interest. Mr. LeFevere, in his e -mail, identifies a mechanism under which it might be possible to create a larger window of interest free repayment than occurs under current practice and policy. Additionally, acceptance of partial payments prior to certifying the assessment to the Count is not permitted. The Council could do sob ordinance in Y P Y compliance with Minnesota Statutes Section 429.061 Subd. 3 if it so chose. Included in the materials is a copy of the City's Special Assessment Policy. A copy of Minnesota Statutes Section 429.061 is included in the materials. COSTS Garden Citt). The cost for the Garden City Project was estimated at $3,927,853 in the Engineer's feasibility report.

The estimated cost for the Southwest project, when it included 46 & 47" ", was $5,766,040 in the Engineer's feasibility report. The proposed special assessments were $962,637, or 23 %. The elimination of the commercial area will reduce the project costs and the special assessments. PROJECT STATUS Garden Citv Scott Brink will provide an overview of the Garden City project.

At the adjourned hearing the council or a committee of it may hear further written or oral testimony on behalf of the objecting f property owner and may consider further written or oral testimony from appropriate city officials and other witnesses as to the amount of the assessment. The council or { i�Ce k4f4 committee shall prepare a record of the proceedings at the adjourned hearing and written findings as to the amount of the assessment. The amount of the assessment as finally determined by the council shall become a part of the adopted assessment roll. No appeal may be taken as to the amount of any assessment adopted under this section unless written objection signed by the affected property owner is filed with the r , ;; £' . municipal clerk prior to the assessment hearing or presented to the presiding officer at ' ', ' •;:`, - ::;afi the hearing. All objections to the assessments not received at the assessment hearing in the manner prescribed by this subdivision are waived, unless the failure to object at the assessment hearino is due to a reasonable cause. F If the adopted assessment differs from the proposed assessment as to any articular lot, piece, or parcel of land, the clerk must mail to the owner a notice stating tni. : t` • _, >:w`X'; the amount of the adopted assessment.

Initiation of Public Improvement Projects Public improvement projects may be initiated by petition of affected property owners. Public improvements may also be initiated by the City Council when, in its judgment, such action is required. The Capital Improvements Program shall detail a program of street improvements based on Pavement Management Program data, street and utility maintenance records, Municipal State Aid Standards, and the Local Storm Water Management Plan. B. History In 1964, the Village Council approved a Special Assessment Policy which detailed matters regarding the financing of public improvements as the community developed. This Policy has been periodically amended, and related policies approved by separate resolution. In 1985, a substantial change in policy was approved by resolution, when the City abandoned • residential assessments based on frontage to adopt a policy based on residence unit. This policy is intended to incorporate all policies related to improvement project financing. It is understood that this policy cannot anticipate every situation, and that certain circumstances may justify deviations from this policy. C. Financing and Assessment Policies Applicable to all Types of Improvements When an improvement is constructed which is of special benefit to properties within a definable area, it is the intent of the City Council that special assessments be levied against the benefitted properties within that area to the extent that the costs of such project can be deemed to benefit the properties. The following general principles shall be used as a basis of the City's assessment policy: 1. The "project cost" of an improvement shall be deemed to include the costs of all necessary construction work required to accomplish the improvement, plus engineering, legal, administrative, financing, and other contingent costs. 2. The "assessable cost" of an improvement shall be defined as being those costs which, in the opinion of the City Council, are attributable to the need for service in the area served by the improvement. Said "assessable cost" shall be equal to the "project cost" of the current project, minus any credit attributed to remaining useful life expectancy or to that part of the improvement deemed to benefit the community as a whole. • September, 2001 Page i City of Brooklyn Center Special Assessment Policy 3. Terms of special assessments shall be as follows: a. Street improvements - 10 years b. Bituminous alley improvements - 10 years Concrete alley improvements - 20 years C. Water and sanitary sewer hookups and improvements - 10 years d. Storm sewer improvements - 10 years Interest is charged at a rate established by the City Council at the time of certification of the levy. SECTION II. SURFACE IMPROVEMENTS Surface improvements shall include grading and base construction, sidewalks, curb and gutter, surfacing, resurfacing, undergrounding overhead utilities, landscaping, beautification, and street lighting. A. Standards for Surface Improvements 1. Arterial streets — shall be of "9 ton" design, of adequate width to accommodate projected traffic volumes. Sidewalks shall be provided on both sides of all arterial S streets unless specifically omitted by the City Council, and shall be of the width approved by the City Council. 2. Collector streets — (including commercial and industrial access streets) shall be of "7 ton" design, or "9 ton" design, based on anticipated usage, and shall normally be constructed in accordance with state aid standards. Sidewalks may be provided on one or both sides of all collector streets in accordance with the comprehensive plan and shall be at least 5 feet in width, unless otherwise approved by the Council. Wherever feasible, a boulevard at least 7 feet in width shall be provided, measured from the street face of curb to the street face of the sidewalk. 3. Residential streets — shall be of "5 ton" design, 30 feet in width, measured between faces of curbs or edge of street, unless otherwise approved by the Council. The Council may order the construction of sidewalks when such construction is warranted. 4. Alleys, in residential areas, shall be of "5 ton" design. Alleys shall be of bituminous construction unless drainage or other conditions require concrete. 5. Street lighting, when installed, shall be installed in accordance with the Council's policy on street lighting. Mid -block lights may be installed when the length of one block from the centerline of one intersecting street to the next intersecting street exceeds 700 feet, or when it is determined that a special public safety benefit would accrue. • September, 2001 p age 2 City of Brooklyn Center Special Assessment Policy • B. Assessment Formula for Surface Improvements The assessments to be levied against properties within the benefitted areas shall be distributed to those properties on the basis of the following provisions: 1. Residential Streets a. For residential properties zoned Rl, the assessment to be applied against each non - subdividable property shall be a unit amount established annually by the City Council. Said assessment is intended to represent a specific proportion of the average cost of making a typical improvement, such as the average cost of reconstructing a typical block of residential street. For properties which may be legally subdividable into two or more lots, the assessment to be applied shall equal the maximum number of lots allowable times the unit assessment. The assessment shall be calculated as follows: 1. For reconstruction or resurfacing of a residential street, the average cost of a typical similar project shall be multiplied by the Council's designated proportion to be assessed. The total assessed shall be divided by the average number of lots to be assessed to determine the unit assessment. • 2. Absent any other policy changes, such as an increase in the proportion of cost to be assessed, the unit assessment shall be adjusted annually to reflect cost of living increases as measured by the Construction Index. b. For residential properties zoned R2, the assessment shall be applied on a front foot basis, said unit being calculated as follows: The Rl unit assessment shall be divided by 75 feet, to determine the front foot rate. The minimum assessment for an R2 property shall be the R1 unit assessment. C. For residential properties zoned R3, the assessment shall be applied per unit on the following basis. The R2 front foot rate shall be multiplied by the total feet of frontage to determine the total benefit. The total benefit shall be divided by the total number of units in the development to determine the unit rate. d. For R4 to R7 properties, commercial, industrial, institutional, or special use properties, the benefits and resulting assessments shall be determined on an individual project basis. e. For those properties zoned R1 or R2 having frontage on two or more streets, special assessments shall be levied for improvements on only one of those frontages, at the owner's choice. For example, a property on the corner of A street and B Avenue may choose to be assessed when A street is improved, or B Avenue, but not both. • September, 2001 Page 3 City of Brooklyn Center Special Assessment Policy • 2. Municipal State Aid Streets a. For properties that are not commercial or industrial in project areas which are primarily residential in character: 1. Benefitting properties abutting a state aid designated street shall be assessed in the same manner as those abutting other residential streets. 2. In those cases where a municipal state aid street improvement project totally removes parking from a residential street where parking was previously allowed, no special assessments shall be levied. Where parking arrangements have been made, special assessments shall be levied. b. For properties which are commercial or industrial in ro'ect areas which are P J primarily residential in character, and for those properties in commercial areas: 1. Commercial and industrial properties shall be assessed based on an area (acreage) basis. An "A" zone of benefit shall be determined on a project basis, but would typically include that area of all properties • abutting the street to be improved, extending to a depth of 200 feet or the property depth, whichever is less. A "B" zone of lesser benefit may be established to identify those properties or portions of properties which do not abut the improved roadway, but which accrue benefit. 2. Unless otherwise approved by the City Council, benefitting properties within this category will be assessed for 70 percent of the total project cost. The Brooklyn Center Municipal State Aid Fund regular account will be liable for the remaining 30 percent of the project costs. 3. If there is a combination of commercial, industrial and residential properties, the commercial- industrial rate will be determined by calculating an equivalent footage rate based on assessing 70 percent of the total project cost, while the residential properties will be assessed in accordance with Subsection 2.a. of these policies. 3. Other Streets 1. Commercial and industrial properties abutting streets which are not designated as Municipal State Aid routes shall be assessed in the same manner as properties abutting State Aid routes, as detailed in Subsection 2.b above. • 2. Unless otherwise approved by the City Council, benefitting properties September, 2001 P age 4 City of Brooklyn Center Special Assessment Policy • within this category will be assessed for 70 percent of the total project cost. The Brooklyn Center Municipal State Aid Fund local account will be liable for the remaining 30 percent of project cost. 3. For owner- occupied residential properties located in a commercially zoned area, where such property is not susceptible to subdivision into more than 2 residential uses with direct street access, the assessment shall be equal to the assessment amount established for residential properties zoned R -1 times the number of lots into which the property is susceptible to subdivision 4. Alleys a. The cost of installation, resurfacing, or reconstruction shall be assessed on a unit basis. Forty percent of the cost to be assessed shall be assessed equally to all owners of lots abutting the alley. The remaining 60 percent shall be assessed equally to all owners of lots currently having access to the alley. b. The cost to be assessed shall include all project costs. For properties where a non -hard surfaced driveway exists, the cost of constructing an asphalt driveway between the paved portion of the alley and property line, minus the cost of sod • restoration for an equivalent area, shall be individually computed and added to the uniform assessment for the specific property involved. SECTION III. SUBSURFACE IMPROVEMENTS Subsurface improvements shall include water distribution lines, sanitary sewer lines and storm sewer lines, ponds, or other drainage improvements. A. Standards Subsurface improvements shall be made to serve current and projected land use. All installations shall conform to the minimum standards therefore as established by those state, local, or federal agencies having jurisdiction over the proposed installations. All installations shall also comply, to the maximum extent feasible, to such quasi - official, nationally recognized standards as those of the American Insurance Association (formerly National Board of Fire Underwriters). Service lines to the property line of each known or assumed building location shall be installed in conjunction with the construction of the mains. • September, 2001 Page 5 City of Brooklyn Center Special Assessment Policy • B. Water Mains All properties shall be assessed their share of the cost of installing water main to serve the property and the cost of installing the water service line between the water main and the property line. In addition, all properties shall be assessed their share of city -wide or area improvements such as distribution mains, wells, above ground storage, and elevated storage tanks. 1. For those improvement projects where existing main or appurtenances are repaired or replaced, including service replacement to the property line, no special assessments shall be charged. The full cost of said improvements shall be financed by the Water Utility Fund. 2. For those improvement projects where main or appurtenances are installed to provide new service to previously unserved properties, the full cost of said improvement shall be assessed, with the basis being the Engineer's determination of benefit to each newly served property. 3. All properties connecting to the water system shall be charged a connection charge as per the most current utility rate structure. Properties without services shall be responsible for the full cost of installing service from the main to the building. • C. Sanitary Sewer All properties shall be assessed their share of the cost of installing sanitary sewer laterals to serve the property and the cost of installing the sanitary sewer service line between the street and the property line. In addition, all properties shall be assessed their share of city- wide or area improvements such as interceptors and pumping stations. 1. For those improvement projects where existing lateral or appurtenances are repaired or replaced, including service replacement to the property line, no special assessments shall be charged. The full cost of said improvements shall be financed by the Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund. 2. For those improvement projects where lateral or appurtenances are installed to provide new service to previously unserved properties, the full cost of said improvement shall be assessed, with the basis being the Engineer's determination of benefit to each newly served property. 3. All properties connecting to the sanitary sewer system shall be charged a connection charge as per the most current utility rate structure. Properties without services shall be responsible for the full cost of installing a service from the main to the building. • September, 2001 p age 6 City of Brooklyn Center Special Assessment Policy D. Storm Drainage All properties shall be assessed their share of the cost of installing storm drainage facilities to serve the property. In addition, all properties shall be assessed their share of city- wide or area improvements such as interceptors and detention ponds. 1. For a project which includes construction of a storm sewer interceptor, detention pond, or other regional facility, an engineering study shall establish the distribution of benefit and determine the assessable portion of the project cost. The assessable cost of a storm sewer interceptor or detention pond shall be assessed equally per unit of area (square foot, acre, etc.) over the entire district served by the interceptor or detention pond. The assessment is generally levied in the current year of construction of the interceptor storm sewer or detention pond, and it is entirely likely that a large number of properties will be assessed which do not receive immediate and total drainage relief. It is, however, considered that such properties do accrue benefit from the interceptor storm sewer since the interceptor is available to receive lateral storm sewer connections, or the detention pond or other regional facility may provide relief from • storm events of greater magnitude than a 5 year storm. 2. For those improvement projects where existing lateral or appurtenances are repaired or replaced, or slightly upgraded, no special assessment shall be charged. The full cost of said improvements shall be financed by the Storm Drainage Utility Fund. 3. For those improvement projects where laterals or appurtenances are installed to provide new service to previously unserved properties, or where service is substantially upgraded, a portion of the cost of said improvement shall be assessed. Said portion shall be the same as the assessable portion of residential street improvement costs, as established in subsection B.l.a. • September, 2001 Page 7 City of Brooklyn Center Special Assessment Policy • SECTION IV. ASSESSMENT DEFERRAL PROGRAM There shall exist a program to defer a portion of the special assessments of qualifying persons under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes 435.193 through 435.195. Said program shall defer the payment of a portion of certified special assessments by property owners who are at least 65 years of age or older or who are retired due to permanent and total disability whose households meet certain financial characteristics. A. Eligibility 1. The property upon which the assessment is deferred must be homesteaded; 2. The property is owned by a person at least 65 years of age on January 1st of the year in which payment of the first installment of the subject assessment levy is due; or is owned by a person who is retired due to permanent and total disability. 3. The applicant must have a "financial hardship" defined as: a. An annual income for the applicant's household size which is at or below the "Very • Low Income" limit established annually by HUD for the Minneapolis and St.Paul Metropolitan Area; and b. The aggregate total of special assessment installments from previously- existing special assessment levies plus the first year of the current levy will exceed 1 -'/2 percent of the applicant's annual income. B. Calculation 1. The portion of the current levy which will be deferred will be that portion of the levy against the applicant's property which requires a first year installment payment which, when added to the applicant's annual payments from previously existing special assessment levies, would result in an aggregate total of special assessment installments totaling more than 1 -'/2 percent of the applicant's annual income. The portion of the current levy which can be paid without aggregating total installments above 1 - percent of the applicant's annual income shall not be deferred. 2. Special assessments levied due to the applicant's failure -to -pay charges for City services or failure to comply to City codes (i.e. delinquent utility assessments, assessments for weed removals, assessments for nuisance abatement, etc.) shall not be deferred, and installment payments for existing levies for such services shall not be included in calculating the maximum 1 -'/2 percent aggregate payment defined in paragraph B.1. above. September, 2001 Page 8 City of Brooklyn Center Special Assessment Policy • C. Interest Simple interest at the rate of that particular assessment levy shall be added to the deferred assessment, calculated from the date interest started to accrue on the original levy (usually the October 1 immediately following the certification date) to the date of payment of the deferred portion of the assessment. D. Termination The option to defer the payment of special assessments shall terminate and all amount accumulated plus applicable interest, shall become due upon the occurrence of one of the following events: 1. The death of the owner, provided that the spouse is otherwise not eligible for the benefits. 2. The sale, transfer, or subdivision of the property or any part thereof. 3. If the property should for any reason lose its homestead status. • 4. The City Council determines that a hardship no longer exists. • September, 2001 Page 9 Michael McCauley - Revised memo Page 1 • From: "LeFevere, Charlie t." <clefevere @Kennedy - Graven.com> To: 'Doug Sell' <DSell @ci.brooklyn- center.mn.us> Date: 9/17/02 3:59PM Subject: Revised memo Doug, My understanding about what happened at the Council meeting is the same as yours. That is, that the assessment roll was adopted for the Garden City project but not the Southwest Neighborhood project. Your first three numbered paragraphs are correct. The statutory reference for the procedure for levying special assessments is all in Minnesota Statutes, Section 429.061. Provisions relating to payment and prepayment are found in subd. 3. 1. The interest -free period for special assessments begins to run from the adoption of the assessment. Therefore, the first day of the 30 days would be the day following the adoption of the assessment roll. 2. Depending on the date of the adoption, there may be a period during which the landowner can prepay the assessment with interest accrued only to the date of payment. This is allowed up until the time the special assessment levy is certified to the county. (In most cases, however, this window of opportunity to pay interest with accrued interest up to the date of payment falls within the 30 day window for payment with no interest.) • After the levy is certified to the county and the 30 day interest -free period has expired, the assessments will be placed on the tax rolls for collection in the following years. No partial payment of those assessments is allowed. However, they may be prepaid at any time prior to November 15 of any year. Interest would be paid with the prepayment until December 31 of the year in which prepayment is made. 3. Under statute, the assessment roll should be certified to the county on or before November 30 of each year. However, you may wish to check with the county to see whether they would accept a later certification for placement on the tax rolls for collection next year. 4. As indicated above, if the 30 day interest -free window has elapsed and the special assessments have not been certified to the county, the owner can prepay the entire assessment with interest to the date of payment from the date specified in the assessment resolution (which cannot be earlier than the date of the resolution adopting the levy). 5. As indicated above, the landowner can prepay at any time prior to November 15 of any year; however, interest must be paid until December 31 of the year of payment. Therefore, if an assessment roll is certified to the county after November 15 of the year 2002, any prepayment up until November 15 of 2003 would have to include interest until December 31 of 2003. For future projects, the City could hold an assessment hearing in the spring (for example) if it wished to do so, and levy assessments that • would not be certified to the county until that fall. If it wished, the assessment hearing could be held immediately following the improvement j Michael McCauley - Revised memo Page 2 • hearing. In such a case, the statutory 30 day interest -free period would run from the date of adoption of the levy. In such a case, the period during which the special assessment could be prepaid with interest to the date of payment would then extend until the City certified the levy to the county. However, the assessment resolution can specify a later date for the commencement of the accrual of interest. Therefore, the City could, for example, set November first as the date that interest would commence, and a landowner could prepay at any time up to November first without interest. You also had several questions relating to a petition received relating to the Garden City project. To perfect an appeal, a landowner must take two steps. The first is to file a written objection before or at the hearing. This petition would be too late to serve as a written objection. The court can excuse the failure to file a written objection for good cause shown. The second step that must be taken to perfect an appeal is to serve a notice of appeal on the City and file it with the court administrator within ten days after service on the City. The petition does not purport to be a notice of appeal. However, whether a court would allow it as such is difficult to forecast. The fact that the Garden City assessments have not been certified to the county would not affect the procedure for appealing the assessments. Likewise, the motion to delay certifying the assessment to the county does not modify the interest -free period for prepayment of the assessments without interest. • If the City Council rescinded the resolution adopting the assessment roll for Garden City, the 30 day period for payment without interest would run from the readoption of the assessment roll. However, since the hearing was closed and the assessment roll adopted, the safest course to assure that the reassessment of Garden City improvements are valid and collectable special assessments would be to provide new notice of a new public hearing prior to readoption of the assessment roll. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Mr. Unruh claimed there is not as much illumination provided with the box lights compared to the previously installed dome lights.

Mr. Unruh has been in contact with Dave Anderson regarding his concerns, but has not received a response accordingly; the Director of Public Services will follow up on Mr. Unruh's concern. Bruce Simcoe, 4507 Winchester Lane, confirmed mid block lighting should have been installed on double blocks per condition of the project specifications.

COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS MAYORAL APPOINTMENT OF MEMBER TO SERVE_ ON_PLAN COMMISSION Mayor Kragness indicated there were two vacancies on the Planning Commission. She nominated Rex Newman, 3107 61st Avenue North, and Brian Walker, 5312 Irving Avenue North for appointment to the Planning Commission. Councilmember Hilstrom said she believed both applicants are well- qualified; however, she could not support the Mayor's nominees because there would be no representation in the West - Central neighborhood. Two applications were received from residents who reside in the West - Central neighborhood. Also, she believed it was a Council policy that residents not serve on more than one commission at the same time, excluding serving on the Charter Conunission. Mayor Kragness responded that she had talked with Planning Commission Chair Tim Willson, and he indicated that residency representation is not required of all neighborhoods, however a member 09/09/96 _10- PROCLAMATION DECLARING THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 17 THROUGH 23, 1997, AS CONSTITUTION WEEK A motion was made by Councilmember Carmody to declare the week of September 17 -23 as Constitution Week. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Hilstrom and passed unanimously. OPEN FORUM There were no requests for open forum. PUBLIC HEARINGS PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NOS. 1997 -01 AND 02, CONTRACT 1997 -E, ORCHARD LANE WEST STREET AND STORM DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS Director of Public Services Diane Spector outlined the recommended procedure for the special assessment public hearings. The first resolution certifies special assessments for street and storm drainage improvements for Improvement Project Nos. 1997 -01 and 02, Contract 1997 -E, Orchard Lane West to the Hennepin County tax rolls. The second resolution provides for the deletion of certain special assessments from Levy Nos. 14050 and 14051. The City's Special Assessment Policy allows property owners whose property fronts on two streets (for example, a corner lot) to choose the street improvement for which they wish to be assessed. The last resolution amends the respective levy rolls to provide for the deferment of special assessments for persons 65 years of age or older or who are retired due to total and permanent disability and meet certain income guidelines. The street improvement residential rate is $2,000 per property. The nonresidential rate is $0.25 per square foot. The storm drainage improvement residential rate is $625 per property. The nonresidential rate is $0.13 per square foot. A motion by Councilmember Carmody and seconded by Councilmember Peppe to open the public hearing passed unanimously. Ms. Faye Bombeck, 5200 66th Avenue North, spoke regarding the length of time of the project 9/8/97 -5- and also regarding the number of manholes. She also stated that the park is a mess and unsafe for children to play in and asked that it be restored to its original condition. Vivian Cloutier, 5318 62nd Avenue North, and the Swanson's, 6213 Unity Avenue North, expressed concerns with the project contractor having noisy equipment, leaving a mess, and starting their equipment too early in the morning. Ms. Spector and staff have spoken with Thomas and Sons about this issue before and will contact them again. City Attorney stated that Y Y determining monetary damage for a breach of contract may be difficult to quantify. He will review the City's contract with Thomas and Sons. Councilmember Hilstrom asked that future project contracts address these issues. She also requested that possible citation of the contractor for noise ordinance violations be implemented.

Residents will have the option to pay the entire amount without interest if paid within 30 days of the date of adoption by the Council (any time between September 15, 1998, and October 14, 1998). If residents choose to pay the total assessment between October 15, 1998, and November 30, 1998, it will be calculated with interest from October 1, 1998, to the date of payment. Installment payments may be made with property taxes and the first payment will be due with taxes in 1999.

No. 23095 Todd Howard. P. E. City Engineer January 23, 2002 • Feasibility Report Garden City South Neighborhood Page 1 OVER VIEW (see Figure 1) These proposed projects include roadway and utility improvements for the Garden City South • Neighborhood, more specifically all public streets as shown in Figure 1. The general improvement area consists of the following streets: all streets bounded by Brooklyn Boulevard on the west, Shingle Creek on the east, 6 Pt Avenue on the north, and Northway Drive to the south. Xerxes Avenue between I- 94 and Northway Drive is also proposed for pavement rehabilitation (see map). Estimated costs for the new street improvements are included in a Cost and Funding Chart on the attached Figure 5. This report was prepared in accordance with previous direction of the City Council that staff would conduct Public Information meetings. On November 15, 2001 and January 15, 2002, public information meetings were conducted. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT'S STREETS Improvement Project 2002 -05 (see Figure 1) The majority of the streets in the proposed project area are classified as local residential streets, originally constructed in conjunction with utility installations in the late 1950's and early 1960's. All of the existing streets are very flat, and in most areas do not have concrete curb and gutter. On average, the streets are 30 feet wide, with a pavement thickness of about 2.0 inches. These streets are aging and showing fatigue and distress, particularly along their unprotected edges. The City's Pavement Management Program indicates that it is no longer cost - effective to routinely maintain these streets (i.e., patch and sealcoat). Complete reconstruction is warranted. It is proposed to reconstruct these streets as two lane roadways measuring 30 feet in width with a structural capacity for the current volume and vehicle distribution. On- street parking on both sides would continue to be allowed on all streets as existing and in accordance with the City's parking ordinances. Concrete curbs and. gutters and driveway aprons would be installed as part of the improvement. Traffic volumes on most of these streets are typical of local residential streets. Traffic counts on 59 Avenue indicate approximately 1,000 vehicle trips per day, which is consistent with traffic volumes on residential streets. Some residents in the area have expressed traffic speed concerns. Most of the concerns were generated from 59`' Avenue, citing cut through traffic and speeding as primary issues. Residents on Beard Avenue also expressed concern of speeding traffic. Traffic calming measures were reviewed with residents but due to a lack of consensus are not proposed as part of the improvements. Xerxes Avenue is a Municipal State Aid street with traffic volumes of approximately 9,000 vehicles per day. The segment of street was constructed to its current alignment in the 1950's. In 1985, the pavement was milled and overlayed and repairs were made to the concrete curb and gutter. The existing pavement is 4 -5 inches thick and the aging pavement is showing signs of distress. A total depth mill and overlay is proposed and is the most cost effective rehabilitation strategy. • Feasibility Report Garden City South Neighborhood Page 2 There are no new sidewalks proposed as part of the project. Portions of the existing sidewalk on Xerxes Avenue would be replaced and new concrete pedestrian ramps are proposed. Additional enhancements to the median on Xerxes Avenue include colored concrete, street lighting and trees. No new sidewalks or trails are included in the cost estimates. • The cost estimates in this report do include a lump mp sum allocation ($30,000) for planting boulevard trees to replace those removed. An amount of $80,000 has also been allocated for replacement of street lights. Staff is working with Xcel Energy at this time to determine final pole locations and determine if more street lighting is needed. STORM DRAINAGE Improvement Project 2002 -06 (see Figure 2 for proposed storm sewer system) The existing storm sewer system in the project area was installed on a per development basis and is undersized throughout the proposed project area. Piping and storm water intakes are proposed in this area to alleviate localized drainage problems. The surface water runoff from the project generally flows from west to east into Shingle Creek. The southern portion of runoff from the Garden City South neighborhood is piped along the north side of 59 " Avenue to Upton Avenue south toward the Summerchase Apartment complex where it outlets into Shingle Creek. Portions of the trunk storm sewer along 59 "' Avenue are undersized and additional catch basins are needed to prevent localized flooding. Survey results received from residents also indicate some localized incidents of standing water. • The northern portion of the project area is piped down 60"' Avenue and 61 Avenue and outlets into a drainage ditch north of the Little League fields. Additional intakes are proposed and the existing interceptors on 60 Avenue and 61" Avenue will be utilized to the extent practical. A pond is proposed to treat the surface water runoff from this drainage area and maintenance is required on the existing ditch. A smaller drainage area east of Xerxes Avenue is proposed to be routed to Shingle Creek along the 60 Avenue alignment. Figure 2 shows a preliminary concept for storm drainage improvements to serve the project area. The project design essentially provides for installation of additional storm sewers and catch basins to provide additional pick -up points throughout the neighborhood, thereby allowing streets to be regraded to provide more positive drainage, and to minimize localized flooding. To the extent practical, the existing storm sewer system will be utilized. Additional piping, intakes throughout the proposed project area, and treatment ponds are estimated to cost $669,000. SANITARY SEWERS Improvement Project 2002 -07 (see Figure 3) • All sanitary sewers in the project area generally are 8 -inch diameter or 10 -inch diameter clay pipe, installed in the late 1950's and early 1960's. Because these sewers were constructed without gaskets in Feasibility Report Garden City South Neighborhood Page 3 the joints, they are subject to a modest level of ground water infiltration. Often, it would not be cost- effective to eliminate this infiltration if the pipe itself were in good condition. City maintenance records along with a televised inspection of all sewers in this area document a significant tree root • infiltration problem and some structural defects in the sewer mains. Surveys received from residents also indicate various experiences with plugging of service lines that can often be attributed to root penetration of the pipe joints. City maintenance staff is required to routinely perform root sawing on the sanitary mains in the project area to prevent back -ups. The televised inspections have indicated that root infiltration is significant throughout the majority of the sanitary sewer system in Garden City South (Figure 3). In particular, root infiltration and blockages are seen at the connection points between private service lines and the mains. Therefore, nearly all sewer mains in the project area are proposed to be replaced. Sewer mains along Beard Avenue and along 61st Avenue are in excellent condition and replacement does not appear warranted. Staff has compared costs of complete replacements vs. repair and replacement of specific problem areas only. Because of construction methods, mobilization costs, and in consideration of the final product and long term performance, it has been determined that in the long -term perspective, complete replacement appears more feasible at this time. An attempt will be made during the development of detailed plans to avoid replacing services in circumstances where complete replacement is not warranted. A force main on Vincent Avenue was constructed in the 1950's out of cast iron pipe. The segment of forcemain to the north of the project area and to the south of the project area has been replaced. Replacement of this forcemain is proposed. Additional information regarding sewer problems was received from property owners during the • public participation process. Based on that information and additional review of other available information, final recommendations will be made during the final design process and project cost estimates will be revised accordingly. At this time the estimated cost of sanitary sewer work as proposed is $632,000. WATER MAINS Improvement Project 2002 -07 (see Figure 4) The water distribution system in this particular neighborhood was installed in the early 1960's with cast iron pipe. Based on the year installed and the information received from the resident surveys, the cast iron pipe has corrosion resistant lining. Water pressures throughout the system are adequate. However, in some instances, water may become stagnant in certain areas, such as the dead end streets and the Upton Avenue cul -de -sac, as a result of poor circulation, and thus contribute to the water quality related problems. The cast iron pipe is brittle. In areas where deep trenching will disturb the soil, thereby increasing the risk of breaking, the mains will be replaced. In addition, leaky valves, and aging hydrants would be replaced as part of this work. The cost of this water system work is estimated to be $315,000. ESTIMATED COSTS AND FUNDING CONSIDERATIONS (see Figure 5) • The total estimated cost for the ro osed project is $3,928,000. A detailed breakdown of this P P P J Feasibility Report Garden City South Neighborhood Page 4 estimate, as well as funding sources is explained as follows in this report and attachment. Costs and Fundina for Street Improvements, Proiect No. 2002 -05 • The estimated project cost for roadway improvements for all streets in this project area is $2,312,000. These costs include project administration, engineering, street lighting and reforestation. It is proposed to levy special assessments for street improvements in accordance with the 2002 rates adopted by the City Council. The rates adopted by the City Council provide for a standard 2002 residential street assessment rate of $2,400 per residential property. The mill and overlay assessment rate is proposed to be $1,755 per residential property. These rates would be assessed to all benefited residential properties as shown in Figure 1. The assessment rate for non - residential properties is proposed to be $0.29 per square foot. On this basis it is estimated that special assessments totaling $639,044 would be levied for street improvements. Costs and Funding for Storm Drainage Svstem Improvements. Proiect No. 2002 -06 The total estimated cost for storm drainage improvements within the Garden City South Neighborhood area is $669,000. This includes the cost of storm sewer construction throughout the project area. It is proposed to levy special assessments for storm drainage improvements in accordance with the 2002 rates adopted by the City Council. Application of this rate to properties benefited by these improvements will result in estimated special assessments of $790 per single - family residential unit. The rate for non - residential properties is proposed to be $0.14 per square foot. The total cost to be assessed would be $190,602.22. The Storm Drainage Utility Fund would pay for a substantial amount . of the remainder of the storm sewer costs. Costs and Funding for Sanitary Sewer and Water Main Improvements. Proiect No. 2002 -07 The estimated cost of sanitary sewer repairs and /or replacements is $632,000 and the estimated costs for water main repair and /or replacements is $315,000. As previously noted, these cost estimates are preliminary at this time.

A feasibility study will be undertaken to determine the needs and costs of reconstructing the streets and utilities. The City survey crew will be in your neighborhood over the next several weeks collecting data for the feasibility study. The data will include road elevations, utility locations, and property boundaries. Information on structure locations, driveway grades, and surrounding topography will also be collected to assist in the drainage analysis. A meeting will be scheduled this fall to gather additional information and solicit input from neighborhood residents. If you have any questions about the data collection or the feasibility study, please call me at 569- 3332. Sincerely, .- Todd Howard, P.E. City Engineer 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Recreation and Community Center Phone & TDD Number Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 -2199 (763) 569 -3400 City Hall & TDD Number (763) 569 -3300 FAX (763) 569 3434 FAX (763) 569 -3494 October 31, 2001 Dear Resident: You are invited to an informational meeting regarding proposed neighborhood improvements: Thursday, November 15, 20016:30 p.m. in the Training Room at the WEST FIRE STATION, 63RD & BROOKLYN BOULEVARD This past summer you received a letter saying that your neighborhood was being considered for street and utility improvements in 2002. At this time, City staff are completing preliminary engineering work to determine the feasibility of these improvements. The study is intended to look into neighborhood needs in more detail, to make better cost estimates, and to review the possibility of improvements with neighborhood residents. We have completed a preliminary review of conditions in your neighborhood, and will describe in more detail our findings and our recommendations at this November 15 meeting. When considering a neighborhood improvement project, we go through a process of informational meetings with the neighborhood. After we develop a preliminary design, the City Council holds a formal public hearing at a Council meeting to take public comment and decide if the project should be done. We are still early in the process. One more informational meeting will be held before the City Council will decide if it will hold a public hearing to consider the project. Background As you are aware, Brooklyn Center is a mature, developed city which has entered a phase of redevelopment and renewal. The need to stabilize the condition and value of our neighborhoods is a challenge we all face over the next several years. One of the first challenges is dealing with our aging streets and utilities. Over two thirds of the residential neighborhoods in our community were developed in the 1950's and early 1960's, and the streets and utilities are now around 40 years old in most areas. The Garden City area, which includes your neighborhood, is typical of other areas of the City where streets and utilities have been reconstructed. When a neighborhood is considered for improvements, an evaluation of the entire infrastructure (streets and utilities) is performed. The expected life of pavement is 20 years. Through an extensive (and expensive) maintenance program we have extended the life of our streets for many years, but we now need to consider replacing them. In addition, the City's underground infrastructure (sanitary sewer, water, and storm sewer), has also shown signs of aging throughout the City. Eight years ago the City began a program of neighborhood renewal. Neighborhood by neighborhood we are working our way through the entire city rebuilding or rehabilitating our infrastructure. We are also working to coordinate public works improvements with other programs such as increased code enforcement. Street and infrastructure improvements have already been completed in some nearby neighborhoods immediately to the north of you. It is our hope and intent that proposed improvements in your neighborhood, combined with previous, existing, and future improvements throughout the City, will provide a strong and healthy long term economic base for the entire City and will renew a sense of community and neighborhood pride. Proposed Improvements Enclosed with this letter is a short report by City Engineer Todd Howard on the findings of our preliminary studies. As you know, the project under consideration is the reconstruction or rehabilitation, as necessary, of all the streets and significant amounts of utilities in the project area, an area which we call the Garden City South Neighborhood. The main reason why we propose improvements in your neighborhood at this time is because of the overall age of infrastructure (streets and utilities), and the continuing concerns about water quality and sanitary sewer maintenance. Preliminary maps showing the areas proposed for specific utility improvements will be provided at the November 15 meeting. Costs If an improvement project is approved for your area, it would be funded in part by special assessments. The City's policy is to assess a flat rate per property which is about 40 percent of the cost of street and storm drainage improvements. The other 60 percent is paid for with general city funds. In the Garden City North Neighborhood improved this summer, the cost per property for street improvements was $2,290 and for storm drainage improvements was $750. This is a per lot assessment, it is NOT based on a per foot charge. Corner properties pay one unit assessment; there is no double charge for being on a corner. The total improvement cost to each property was $3,040. Construction costs increase every year, and assessments for a project in your neighborhood will probably increase by a few hundred dollars. Informational Meeting To provide an accurate and comprehensive assessment of the neighborhood's needs, we need your input. Included with this letter is a survey that should only take a few minutes to complete. This will help us better understand not only the physical problems, but the other types of improvements you would like to see in your neighborhood. Please return this survey by November 15. If you are not able to return the survey before the meeting, please bring it with you to the meeting. In the meantime, if you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to call us in the Engineering Division at 569 -3340. I encourage you to visit some of the streets nearby that have already been improved. I hope to see you on November 15 at the West Fire Station at 63rd and Brooklyn Boulevard at 6:30 p.m. Sincerely, J��p Diane Spector DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS cc: Mayor Kragness and City Council Members INFORMATIONAL REPORT GARDEN CITY SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD CONDITION ANALYSIS As art of the City improvement program, a comprehensive analysis of the entire City is utilized to p Y p P g � P Y y determine which neighborhood improvements should occur and when. The proposed project area identified as "Garden City South" consists of approximately 3.5 miles of streets. This proposed area includes all streets bounded by Brooklyn Boulevard on the west, Shingle Creek on the east, 61" Avenue on the north, and Northway Drive to the south. Xerxes Avenue between I -94 and Northway Drive is also proposed for pavement rehabilitation (see map). The Overall Infrastructure Condition in the Area Much of the infrastructure (streets and utilities) in the neighborhood is approximately 40 years old and aging. Adequate and reliable infrastructure is essential in providing for the health, safety, and welfare of all citizens, as well as contributing to the overall stability, property values, and quality of life of a neighborhood. Therefore, the overall condition of all infrastructure is reviewed with all available information, including surveys returned to the City by residents. Water Mains Much of the water main distribution system in the neighborhood was installed in the early 1960's with cast iron pipe that is no longer utilized today. Age and deterioration of the pipe contribute to water main breaks and contribute to aesthetic water quality and pressure complaints throughout the neighborhood. We would therefore propose replacing pipe that we know is causing problems or would conflict with other utility replacements in the proposed area. Hydrants and valves would also be replaced in the area. Sanitary Sewers The City has inspected (televised) nearly the entire sanitary sewer system. Inspections to date have shown significant portions of the sewers exhibiting signs of aging and groundwater infiltration. Roots in the main have resulted in back -ups and many services are substantially blocked with tree roots. In order to eliminate potential sewer back ups, pipe failures, and property damage, all deteriorated sewer and lateral connections should be identified and replaced. In addition, property owners have provided and are encouraged to provide to the City any additional information regarding any specific sewer problems that they may have experienced. Previous televising inspections have revealed many sewer services with root problems at the connection to the main. Drainage and Storm Sewers Drainage in this part of the City is often deficient, particularly during and after heavy rainfalls. This is typical of many of Brooklyn Center's neighborhoods due to the overall flat grades and storm sewer deficiencies (lack of storm sewers) throughout the City. Currently, storm sewer is either limited or non - existent on many of the streets in the project area. Portions of the streets in the proposed area have been previously identified as flood prone. Additional storm sewer and catch basins would be added where needed, and any existing storm sewer that is either undersized, or showing signs of age and decay would also be replaced. Storm water runoff from the project area flows directly into Shingle Creek, depositing sediment and other contaminates into the creek. Grit chambers, ponds or other treatment devices should be considered to enhance the water quality of Shingle Creek. Streets The City utilizes a computerized pavement management system to inventory and program all streets within the City. Streets are numerically rated according to the amount of surface (pavement) and subsurface distress and condition. Because the majority of streets in the City are relatively similar in age (approximately 40 -50 years), most of the streets in the City are nearing the end of their useful design life, and have similar pavement condition ratings. The streets in the Garden City South Area are typical of other older streets in the City. The typical design life of a street is usually 20 -25 years. The expenditure of large amounts of maintenance dollars have allowed the streets to last as long as 40 years or more. Because of their extended age, the City's streets have reached a condition where normal maintenance practices can no longer be feasible. The streets originally were not constructed to the same standards practiced today, and poor drainage (compounded by the flat grades) in the area has contributed to the wear and tear induced by traffic and age. As part of this proposed project, the streets should be reconstructed to approximately the same width, with adequate base and structural support. Concrete curb and gutter would also be included to provide for improved drainage and long -term durability. Existing curb and gutter on Xerxes Avenue is generally in good condition and wood be spot repaired as needed in addition to any pavement rehabilitation. Other Infrastructure Neighborhood street improvement programs also provide opportunities for other utilities (i.e, Reliant Energy Minnegasco, Xcel, Qwest, AT &T Broadband, etc.) to upgrade their facilities in conjunction with the City improvements. At this time, the City is working with these other utilities to identify any problem areas, or facilities in need of replacement. The comprehensive plan shows no new sidewalks or trails for this area, and none are currently proposed in this project. Existing sidewalk along Xerxes Avenue is generally in good condition, however pedestrian ramps need to be replaced to meet current standards. Existing street lights would also be evaluated and likely be replaced with fixtures that are more aesthetically pleasing and energy efficient. Summary As previously stated, several factors were evaluated in considering the Garden City Neighborhood for improvements. Selection of this neighborhood as a candidate for improvements has been elevated, not only because of the need to rehabilitate aging infrastructure, but also to continue to reinvest in the neighborhood and maintain viability. Maintaining the viability and value of the neighborhoods in more established and mature parts of the City is considered a high priority. The condition of the sanitary sewer and water mains are strong factors in making this area a higher priority for improvements as well. Not only are the conditions of the facilities a concern, but excessive groundwater infiltration into the sanitary sewer translates to higher waste water treatment costs for the entire City. The storm sewer system is in need of improvement throughout the City. Drainage deficiencies and the lack of storm sewer in Garden City area and the western area of Brooklyn Center, in general, has resulted in some drainage problems. Because poor drainage can damage or shorten the life of pavement and can cause some minor property damage, we recognize a responsibility to correct this problem when the opportunity arises. Therefore, storm sewer upgrades and additions would be constructed as needed. Overall, the condition of the streets in the Garden City area is quite similar to other areas of the City where aging and deterioration are occurring. Maintenance costs have spiraled and because of the continued deterioration of all streets, street maintenance funding allocations have not kept adequate pace with street and maintenance needs. The overall condition of all streets, therefore, continues to decline. Upgrading streets in this area is essential, not only for the benefit of the neighborhood, but to reduce overall long term maintenance costs throughout the City. This overall assessment of infrastructure and improvement needs in the neighborhood is based upon the best information we have available. We will also be obtaining more information as our preliminary design continues. However, residents of the neighborhood may have specific experiences and/or insights and suggestions that we may not be aware of Further input from residents and property owners is therefore encouraged and appreciated. In summary, the Garden City South Neighborhood area streets as proposed, were prioritized based upon the overall infrastructure needs and priorities in relation to other neighborhoods throughout the City. In the interest of the City at large and the neighborhood, we believe that the consideration of improvements in this area is a feasible and responsible course of action to take at this time. Todd Howard, City Engineer SURVEY This survey will help us better understand needs in your neighborhood. Please return this survey by November 15, 2001. You may also call us at 569 -3340 to talk about these issues. Thank you for your cooperation. � 1 4 W �l Todd Howard, City Engineer 1.

Typically, improvements to the storm drainage system are needed. Do you have a problem with drainage or flooding? In the street, your yard, your basement? 3. Are you aware of, or experienced problems relating to the water distribution system, such as poor water quality? 4. What other concerns do you have? Are there traffic problems? Specific code enforcement needs? What kinds of ideas do you have for neighborhood beautification? Are you interested in workshops on topics such as landscaping, ideas for home remodeling, etc. ? Do you need blockwatch group information? Should you have questions or need more information, please contact the engineering division at 569 -3340. Your name: Address: Please return by November 15, 2001 to: Engineering Division City of Brooklyn Center 6301 Shingle Creek Pkwy Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 FAX 763 -569 -3494 email info @ci.brooklyn- center.mn.us OX City of Brooklyn Center A Millennium Community November 16, 2001 SUBJECT: SANITARY SEWER INSPECTION Dear Resident: The sanitary sewer main located under the road in front of your house has been inspected with a video camera as part of our data collection effort for the street reconstruction study. This inspection revealed that your sewer service leading into the main is partially plugged with tree roots. If the proposed project goes forward, these problems will most likely be taken care of. Therefore, unless you are having problems, do not accept solicitations to do this work DOW. In the event that you experience a back up or notice slowly draining sinks and tubs, it may become necessary for you to have your sewer service cleaned. At this time the City does not recommend digging up sewer services for repair. If you have any questions or would like to review the videotape of the sewer main please call me at 569 -3323.

However, we will have preliminary plan sheets showing a preliminary design, and we will be able to spend the bulk of the time individually reviewing proposed plans, reviewing sever tapes, and in one -on -one and general question and answer sessions. We also hope to have answers to some of the questions that were raised at the initial meeting. As a reminder, what is proposed in your neighborhood is the complete reconstruction of streets including installation of curb and gutter, spot replacement of water main, replacement of sanitary sewer main, and the installation of new storm sewers. When considering a neighborhood improvement project, we go through a process of informational meetings with the neighborhood. After we develop a preliminary design, the City Council will decide whether to hold a formal public hearing at a Council meeting to take public comment and decide if the project should be done. At this time, we would expect to bring your comments from the surveys and from the meetings to the City Council at its January 28, 2002 meeting. After reviewing this information, the Council will decide whether or not to call a public hearing. If a public hearing is called, you will receive a certified letter notifying you of the date and time of the hearing. If a public hearing is to be held, we would expect it to be in February. The more detailed plan sheets which will be available at the January 15 meeting will show which sanitary sewer services should be replaced (based on sewer televising and also on information provided by you on the surveys), and which boulevard trees will likely have to be removed to allow the service to be replaced. Thank you for your responses to the surveys that were previously mailed. This has helped us better understand not only the physical problems, but the other types of improvements you would like to see in your neighborhood. If you have not returned the survey, or no longer have a copy, another copy has been enclosed. Please bring it with you to the meeting, or mail it to us if you cannot attend. We have also prepared a brochure addressing common questions asked by residents of areas where improvement projects are proposed. A copy of the brochure is enclosed with this mailing. If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to call us in the Engineering Division at 763 -569- 3340. I hope to see you on January 15 at the West Fire Station at 63rd and Brooklyn Boulevard at 6:30 p.m. Sincerely, Diane Spector DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS cc.

Two public information meetings were held within the past few months at the Brooklyn Center West Fire Station. On January 28, 2002, the City Council received an Engineer's Feasibility report regarding the proposed improvements. The City Council accepted the report, and based on the feedback from the two meetings and from the surveys and other comments sent in by residents, has scheduled a public hearing to consider the proposed improvements. The public hearing will be held at 7 p.m. on Monday, February 11, 2002, in the Training Room at the West Fire Station, located at the corner of 63' Avenue and Brooklyn Boulevard. At the public hearing the City Council will receive public comments, and then at the conclusion of the hearing will make a decision whether or not to order the project. You are not required to attend this hearing. If the project is approved by the City Council, you will receive additional information through a newsletter prior to any actual construction. You may also call the Construction Hotline at 763 -569 -3342 to listen to a recording stating the result of the Public Hearing. If you are unable to attend, you may send your comments in writing to our office, and we will ensure the Council receives copies. On the reverse side of this letter is the Notice of Public Hearing regarding the improvements. Also enclosed is a summary of the Engineer's Feasibility Report. These are the highlights of the proposed improvements: 1 All ublic streets in the project area are r 0 wide the proposed to be reconstructed to 3 feet wid p p J p P � current width. All street reconstructions would include the addition of concrete curb and gutter and driveway aprons. In addition, substantial public utility improvements are proposed, including a significant amount of sanitary sewer replacement, water main replacement, and the addition of new storm sewers. 2) The proposed assessments for single family zoned residential properties for streets are $2,400 per property and for storm drainage $790 per property, for a total assessment of $3,190. All other types of property would be assessed at $0.29/sf for streets and $0.14 /sf for storm drainage. These are fixed amounts. The assessments would not be more than that. If the project is approved, a separate hearing on assessments will take place this fall. You would NOT have to nav anv assessments until AFTER this hearin-a in September. In general, you would have 3 options for payment: you may pay the assessments in full; you may make installment payments over 10 years; or you may begin making installment payments and pay the balance remaining in full at any time in the next 10 years. More detailed information regarding special assessments, payment options, and financial assistance will be sent to you at a later date, should the project be ordered by the City Council.

Published in Brooklvn Center Post, A&A January 30 and February 6, 2002 /s/ Sharon Knutson, i er • January 29, 2002 RE: Proposed Garden South Neighborhood Street & Utility Improvement Project As the owner(s) of a property that is not classified as a single - family residential property, the special assessments proposed for your property are calculated on a different basis than those properties. In accordance with the City's Special Assessment Policy, where streets and utilities are being reconstructed or as the owner(s) of a property abutting Xerxes Avenue North assessments for properties which are not zoned and used as R -1, R -2 or R -3 (single family, two - family, or townhouse, respectively) land uses are assessed based on the size of the parcel. The size is calculated as the frontage of the property abutting the improved street times the depth of the property, with a maximum depth of 200 feet. In 2002, the per square foot rates are $0.29 per square foot for street improvements and $0.15 per square foot for storm drainage improvements. On Xerxes Avenue, which will receive a full -depth mill and overlay instead of being reconstructed, proposed assessments are $1,755 for a residential parcel and $0.13 per square foot for all other types of property. No storm drainage assessments are proposed. The excerpt from the proposed levy roll for the above referenced property is shown on the back of this letter. As noted in the cover letter, the hearing scheduled for February 11, 2002 is to consider the improvement project. The hearing finalizing the special assessments would not occur until September, 2002.

This is because state law is very specific about how assessments can be collected: either all at once, or in even installments. If you want to retire the assessment early and save some interest, we suggest contacting your banker or financial planner to set up a savings plan. 2. If at some point in the future you wish to pay off the balance of your special assessment, you may do so prior to November 15 of any year. Please contact the Assessor's office at 763 -569 -3310 for a payoff balance. Partial payments: We cannot accept any partial prepayments of assessments (for example, half now, half later). However, you can pay off one assessment in full and make payments on the other with your taxes. For example, you could pay your $790.00 storm drainage assessment in full, but roll over your street assessment to taxes. Special note to seniors, and property owners who are retired due to disability: There is a deferral program available which may help you pay the proposed assessments. This is not a "discount ". You may be eligible to pay a portion of your assessment now, with the balance deferred to when you sell your property. You must meet certain income requirements to qualify.

City of Brooklyn Center OA:TI A Millennium Community September 19, 2002 Dear Resident/Homeowner: As ou are aware the City is in the process of completing the reconstruction of streets in Y tY p p g your area. The portion of street in front of your property has been reconstructed as a circular turn- around or cul -de -sac per City standards. In all, 6 cul -de -sacs have been constructed as part of this project. The type of cul -de -sac constructed in front of your property is similar to those installed on other projects in the City, and we have previously not experienced problems. However, we have received some dissatisfaction from at least some residents in this year's project, particularly where driveways connect with the new street. It has always been the City's intent to reconstruct the streets in a manner that meets City standards with regards to design, safety, maintenance and operations. However, it also is the City's desire that residents and property owners receive a final product that is as satisfactory as we can reasonably make it. In regards to the cul -de -sacs that have been constructed, it is our understanding that some 0 residents are not satisfied while others are. We are therefore sending you this letter to request that you contact the City immediately to inform us of either one of the following: 1. I am satisfied with the concrete construction (curb and gutter and driveway) and do not wish for the City or contractor to make any changes, alterations, or additions to the concrete work performed to date. 2. I am not satisfied with the concrete construction performed to date, and wish to have an inspector meet with me at my property to discuss the issue further. Because concrete work on the project is rapidly nearing completion, we request that you contact the City Engineering Department (763 -569 -3340) immediately (satisfied or not satisfied), or by Friday, September 27, 2002. If we do not receive a response, no further changes to the concrete work on your street will be performed. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, rV Scott A. Brink, P.E. 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Recreation and Community Center Phone & TDD Number Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 -2199 a (763) 569-3400 City Hall & TDD Number (763) 569 -3300 FAX (763) 569-3434 FAX (763) 569 -3494 MEMORANDUM DATE: September 19, 2002 TO: Michael McCauley FROM: Scott Brink, Consulting Engineer SUBJECT: Storm Sewer Assessments Garden City South Street and Utility Improvements At the recent public hearing regarding the adoption of the assessment roll, a question was brought up regarding the storm sewer assessment for single - family residential properties. In particular, a question arose as to why a property must pay a storm sewer assessment when a new storm sewer pipe is not installed in front of their property or on the property owner's particular street. The storm sewer assessment rate adopted by the City Council for the Garden City South project is $750. The Garden City South neighborhood is very typical of other neighborhoods in regards to drainage needs. Most neighborhoods and accompanying streets are flat, with no curb and gutter, and insufficient grade to efficiently move water. Existing storm sewer pipes available to receive the water are often minimal or even non - existing. Therefore, when designing storm water improvements for a neighborhood, the design and construction of new storm sewers is performed along with the utilization of any existing infrastructure as may be available and adequate. In the Garden City South project, a portion of existing storm sewer on 61 Avenue was found to be adequately sized and in good condition to justify continued use. New catch basins and new connecting pipes, along with concrete curb and gutter were installed to connect runoff to the existing pipe. Thus, costs are typically incurred even when existing facilities can continue to be used. All streets in the Garden City South project (with the exception of Xerxes Avenue) were constructed with new concrete curb and gutter where none had previously existed. The curb and gutter is not only necessary as part of the roadway construction itself, but also serves as part of the storm water conveyance system since neighboring properties are graded to drain to the street, which conveys the water to the closest catch basins, and ultimately to a storm sewer. Essentially, all properties contribute at least some runoff and therefore are assessed for storm water improvements, even though an actual catch basin, manhole, or storm sewer pipe may not necessarily be constructed in front of their particular property, or even on their street. The cost for the improvements is therefore assessed to all properties, since all produce runoff that collectively necessitates improvements. The storm sewer assessment rate is a uniform charge for all single - family residential properties. In summary, the storm sewer assessments as proposed for Garden City South are consistent with those assessments adopted for previous street is improvement projects. 1 • City Council Agenda Item No., 8c • MEMORANDUM DATE: September 4, 2002 TO: Michael J.

ReJ� 246 7 • Jo Parotti, P.E. February 7, 2002 z�� joy R iewe By I6at OVERVIEW The proposed project includes roadway and utility improvements for the Southwest Neighborhood. The streets included in the project are specifically shown on Figure 1. The project involves pavement rehabilitation and associated drainage improvements, miscellaneous sanitary sewer repair, and selective water main replacement on approximately 3.5 miles of residential streets in the City of Brooklyn Center. The project is generally bounded by 55` Avenue on the north, 47 Avenue and Lakeside Drive on the south, Twin Lakes on the west, and Brooklyn Boulevard on the east. The project includes reconstruction of France Avenue, 53 Avenue North, and Osseo Road (frontage to Brooklyn Boulevard) as part of the City's Municipal State Aid (MSA) system. MSA routes have state gasoline tax money available to assist in funding of the reconstruction. Estimated costs for the new street improvements are included on the attached cost spreadsheet (see Figure 6). This report was prepared in accordance with authorization given by the City Council to address the improvements, costs, and cost recovery. Specific direction was given requesting staff to conduct public information meetings as part of the process. These meetings were conducted on November 27, 28, and 29, 2001 and January 24, 2002. • Feasibility Report 2002 S.W. Neighborhood Page 1 y City of Brooklyn Center Agreat place to start. Agreat place to stay. • 6301 SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA 55430 ENGINEERING : 763.569.3340 FAX. 763569.3494 The Southwest Neighborhood improvement project is expected to be combined the Azelia and 50` Street (France Avenue relocation) project from a construction contract basis. The Azelia and 50` Street project is not considered in the following feasibility report because it is a municipal cooperative agreement project between the City and Mn/DOT being funded by state funds and will not be subject to MN 429. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS STREETS The majority of the streets in the project area are local residential streets. They have bituminous surfacing, no curb and gutter, and minimal storm sewer. The project includes France Avenue and 53 Avenue, a collector route designated as part of the City's Municipal State Aid system that conveys surrounding neighborhood traffic to connections at TH 100 and Brooklyn Boulevard. The project also includes 48` Avenue, 47 Avenue, and Dusharme Avenue, which serve industrial businesses in the southern part of the project. Many of the streets were originally constructed in the mid 1950s. Because of the age of the streets, poor drainage and some areas of poor subsurface soils, the streets are in need of rehabilitation to economically improve their service life. The City's Pavement Management Program indicates that routine maintenance will no longer be effective (patch and seal coat). Complete reconstruction is recommended. Soil P borings were taken in the project types of sub grade o ect area to determine the t ade materials that would be encountered. gT' This information is used to design the new street section and foundations for pipe materials. Generally, the soils in the project area consist of existing fills that are silty sands and poorly graded sands and alluvium soils that are also sandy in nature. These type of soils generally fall under Mn/DOT classifications for granular borrow and select granular borrow and are suitable for support of the new pavement. However, peat and organic clays were encountered near the corner of Lakeside Avenue and Twin Lakes Avenue. Silty sand and 6.5 feet of wood fill was encountered on Dusharme Avenue, which is a short street located off of 47` Avenue. These soils are not suitable for support of the street and are being recommended for complete removal and backfilled with suitable granular material. For more specific geotechnical information, please reference the Geotechnical report dated June 2001. Traffic volumes on the streets in the project area are typical of residential streets varying from 100 to 500 average daily traffic (ADT). The local residential streets will all be designed to a typical City street pavement section and constructed to a width of 30 feet, allowing for continued parking on both sides. The exception is the MSA route. It currently carries a range of 1600 to 2200 ADT and is projected to carry as much as 3900 ADT in 20 years ... the duration of the design. France Avenue and 53 Avenue will be 32 feet wide. Parking is not be allowed at this width in order to conform with the State Aid rules. 48` Avenue and Dusharme Avenue differ from the typical residential streets due to the increased number of trucks that use the street. The increase loads due to the increased amount of truck use is reflected in the design of a thicker pavement section. A street width of 40 feet is proposed for this street to accommodate maneuvering of the larger size trucks. Concrete curb and gutter and concrete driveway aprons will be installed as part of the improvements. The sidewalk that exists along the east side of France Avenue and the south side of 53 Avenue, along the frontage road to Brooklyn Boulevard, is proposed to be reconstructed as a 10 -foot bituminous trail. This project will also include the construction of a 10 -foot bituminous trail in the Twin Lake Park and a 8 -foot bituminous trail along the north side of Lakebreeze Avenue from Twin Lake Avenue to Azelia Avenue. The Twin Lake Park trail will connect to a trail to be constructed by Mn/DOT (as part of the Highway 100 reconstruction project) and to a new parking lot in Twin Lake Park near Twin Lake Avenue and Lakeside Avenue. • The existing parking lot at the northwest corner of Twin Lake Park will be replaced under this project. Existing parking provides five parking spaces (one being an accessible space). The new parking lot will provide nine spaces Feasibility Report 2002 S.W.

The new parking lot has been planned to provide additional parking as increased use is anticipated once park improvements are made to the picnic facilities and play structures. The cost estimate prepared for this project includes a lump sum allocation of $ 21,000 to be used for planting replacement boulevard trees. An amount of $ 66,000 has also been allocated for the replacement of street lights impacted by the project. STORM DRAINAGE The existing storm sewer system in the project area is minimal and inadequately drains surface water runoff creating localized drainage problems and standing water. It is the freeze /thaw action of water and ice and subsurface soil saturation that leads directly to deterioration of streets. Each area is proposed to receive drainage system improvements consisting of concrete curb and gutter and storm sewer designed to a 5 -year storm reoccurrence interval. The existing system in the Twin Lakes Avenue area drains directly into Twin Lakes. The challenge for reconstruction of the system in this area is the lack of elevation difference between the street and the lake elevation. A new system is proposed with larger diameter pipe and more catch basins to help alleviate localized ponding. A inline precast sediment collection device is proposed to be installed to help remove large sediments from discharge into Twin Lakes. The industrial area of 47` and 48` Avenues drain to Ryan Lake. The existing storm sewer system is undersized and • does not reach the extent of the watershed area. This project will construct new storm sewer system that will provide the needed capacity. The new system will also construct a storm water treatment pond at the corner of 48 and Dusharme Avenues. The pond will provide treatment and improve the quality of the water that discharges to Ryan Lake. The project will also construct new storm sewer on 47 Avenue, including an in -line precast sediment collection device for water quality treatment. Much of France Avenue and the streets in the project to the north drain to a trunk main that is conveyed under Brooklyn Boulevard. While most all of the storm sewer in the project will be replaced, a 36 -inch diameter trunk located in 53 Avenue will be utilized as a parallel main to add capacity to the system. Figure 3 illustrates the proposed improvements. SANITARY SEWERS The size of sanitary sewers in the project area range from 8 -inch diameter to 15 -inch diameter. A 10 -inch diameter trunk line is located in Lake Breeze and France Avenue and the 15 inch diameter is located in 53' Avenue, which eventually crosses to the east under Brooklyn Boulevard. Almost all of the pipe is made of vitrified clay. There are no capacity problems in the project area, but the television inspection reported there is significant tree root infiltration problems as well as structural defects. In general, approximately 2/3 of the sanitary sewer needs to be replaced. The cost of complete replacement of a main from manhole to manhole has been found to be more feasible in terms of cost and long -term maintenance as opposed to spot repairs in problem areas. Figure 4 illustrates the proposed sanitary sewer repair areas. • WATER MAINS The size of the water main in the project area ranges from 6 -inch diameter to 10 -inch diameter. The existing water main in the Twin Lakes Avenue area as well as 47"' Avenue is unlined cast iron pipe, meaning that the pipe installed Feasibility Report 2002 S.W.

It is the internal corrosion of these pipes over the years that contributes to water quality problems in the neighborhoods. Surveys sent to the neighbors reported water quality issues in this area. Therefore, it is proposed that the unlined cast iron pipe be replaced with cement lined ductile iron pipe as part of the project. In addition, leaky valves and old hydrants are also proposed to be replaced with the project. Figure 5 illustrates the water main locations proposed for replacement. ESTIMATED COSTS AND FUNDING CONSIDERATIONS The total estimated cost for the project is $5,766,040. A detailed breakdown of this estimate as well as funding sources are explained as follows in this report and the attachment. Roadway The estimated cost for the roadway improvements for all streets in the project area (local and MSA) is $3,112,550. If street lighting improvements are included, the estimated cost for those roadway improvements would be $3,178,550. It is proposed to levy special assessments for street improvements in accordance with 2002 rates adopted by the City Council. The rates adopted by the City Council provide for a standard 2002 assessment rate of $2,400 per residential • property. Commercial properties are assessed at a rate of $0.29 per square foot. These rates are assessed to all benefitting properties as shown on Figure 1. On this basis it is estimated that special assessments totaling $948,000 would be levied for street improvements. Storm Drainage The total estimated cost for storm drainage improvements for the 2002 Southwest Neighborhood area (local and State Aid streets) is $1,107,260. This includes the cost of storm sewer construction throughout the project area. It is proposed to levy special assessments for storm drainage improvements in accordance with the 2002 rates adopted by the City Council. The rates adopted by the City Council provide for a standard 2002 assessment rate of $790 per family residential unit. The assessment to commercial property will be $0.14 per square foot. The total cost assessed would be approximately $381,000. The storm drainage utility fund would pay for a substantial amount of the remaining storm sewer costs. Storm sewer on France Avenue, 53` Avenue, and Osseo Boulevard is eligible for State Aid funding. Water and Sewer The estimated cost of sanitary sewer replacement and repairs is $756,000. The estimated costs for water main repair and replacement is $724,000. All such costs are proposed to be funded by their respective utility funds in accordance with the established policy for such improvements.

A feasibility study will be undertaken to determine the needs and costs of reconstructing the streets and utilities. The City survey crew will be in your neighborhood over the next several weeks collecting data for the feasibility study. The data will include road elevations, utility locations, and property boundaries. Information on structure locations, driveway grades, and surrounding topography will also be collected to assist in the drainage analysis. • A meeting will be scheduled this fall to gather additional information and solicit input from neighborhood residents. If you have any questions about the data collection or the feasibility study, please call me at 569- 3332. Sincerely, Todd Howard, P.E.

At this time, The City's consultant is completing preliminary engineering � to determine the feasibility of these improvements. The study is intended to look into neighborhood needs in more detail, to make better cost estimates, and to review the possibility of improvements with neighborhood residents. We have completed a preliminary review of conditions in your neighborhood, and will describe in more detail our findings and our recommendations at this November 27 meeting. When considering a neighborhood improvement project, we go through a process of informational meetings with the neighborhood. After we develop a preliminary design, the City Council holds a formal public hearing at a Council meeting to take public comment and decide if the project should be done. We are still early in the process. One more informational meeting will be held before the City Council will decide if it will hold • o d a public hearing to consider the project. Background As you are aware, Brooklyn Center is a mature, developed city which has entered a phase of redevelopment and renewal. The need to stabilize the condition and value of our neighborhoods is a challenge we all face over the next several years. One of the first challenges is dealing with our aging streets and utilities. Over two thirds of the residential neighborhoods in our community were developed in the 1950's and early 1960's, and the streets and utilities are now around 40 years old in most areas. The Southwest area, which includes your neighborhood, is typical of other areas of the City where streets and utilities have been reconstructed. When a neighborhood is considered for improvements, an evaluation of the entire infrastructure (streets and utilities) is performed. The expected life of pavement is 20 years. Through an extensive (and expensive) maintenance program we have extended the life of our streets for many years, but we now need to consider replacing them. In addition, the City's underground infrastructure (sanitary sewer, water, and storm sewer), has also shown signs of aging throughout the City. Eight years ago the City began a program of neighborhood renewal. Neighborhood by neighborhood we are working our way through the entire city rebuilding or rehabilitating our infrastructure. We are also working to coordinate public works improvements with other programs such as increased code enforcement. Street and infrastructure improvements have already been completed in some nearby neighborhoods immediately to the north of you. It is our hope and intent that proposed improvements in • your neighborhood, combined with previous, existi d future improvements throughout the City, will 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Recreation and Community Center Phone & TDD Number Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 -2199 (763) 569 -3400 City Hall & TDD Number (763) 569 -3300 FAX (763) 569 -3434 FAX (763) 569 -3494 provide a strong and healthy long term economic base for the entire City and will renew a sense of community and neighborhood pride. Proposed Improvements The project under consideration is the reconstruction or rehabilitation, as necessary, of all the streets and significant amounts of utilities in the project area, an area which we call the Southwest Neighborhood. The main reason why we propose improvements in your neighborhood at this time is because of the overall age of infrastructure (streets and utilities), and the continuing concerns about water quality and sanitary sewer maintenance. Preliminary findings will be presented at the November 27 meeting. Costs If an improvement project is approved for your area, it would be funded in part by special assessments. The City's policy is to assess a flat rate per property which is about 40 percent of the cost of street and storm drainage improvements. The other 60 percent is paid for with general city funds. The adopted 2002 assessment rate for next summer's street improvements is $2,400 and for storm drainage improvements is $790. This is a per lot assessment, it is NOT based on a per foot charge. Corner properties pay one unit assessment; there is no double charge for being on a corner. The total improvement cost to each property is anticipated to be $3,190. Informational Meeting • To provide an accurate and comprehensive assessment of the neighborhood's needs, we need your input. Included with this letter is a survey that should only take a few minutes to complete. This will help us better understand not only the physical problems, but the other types of improvements you would like to see in your neighborhood. Please return this survey by November 27. If you are not able to return the survey before the meeting, please bring it with you to the meeting. In the meantime, if you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to call us in the Engineering Division at 569 -3340. I encourage you to visit some of the streets nearby that have already been improved. I hope to see you on November 27 at the West Fire Station at 63rd and Brooklyn Boulevard at 6:30 p.m. ;iiut;eeiy, �� Diane Spector DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS cc: Mayor Kragness and City Council Members • City of Brooklyn Center A Millennium Community january 10, 2002 Dear Resident: You are invited to a second informational meeting regarding proposed neighborhood improvements for the Southwest Neighborhood: Thursday, January 24, 2002 at 6:30 p.m. in the Training Room at the WEST FIRE STATION, 63RD & BROOKLYN BOULEVARD At this meeting we will present much the same general information regarding the proposed improvement project as at the November informational meeting. However, we will have preliminary plan sheets showing a preliminary design, and we will be able to spend the bulk of the time individually reviewing proposed plans, reviewing sewer tapes, and in one -on -one and general question and answer sessions. We also hope to have answers to some of the questions that were raised at the initial meeting. As a reminder, what is proposed in your neighborhood is the complete reconstruction of streets including installation of curb and gutter, spot replacement of water main, replacement of sanitary sewer main, and the installation of new storm sewers. When considering a neighborhood improvement project, we go through a process of informational meetings with the neighborhood. After we develop a preliminary design, the City Council will decide whether to hold a formal public hearing at a Council meeting to take public comment and decide if the project should be done. At this • time, we would expect to bring your comments from the surveys and from the meetings to the City Council at its January 28, 2002 meeting. After reviewing this information, the Council will decide whether or not to call a public hearing. If a public hearing is called, you will receive a certified letter notifying you of the date and time of the hearing. If a public hearing is to be held, we would expect it to be in February. The more detailed plan sheets which will be available at the January 24 meeting will show which sanitary sewer services should be replaced (based on sewer televising and also on information provided by you on the surveys), and which boulevard trees will likely have to be removed to allow the service to be replaced. Thank you for your responses to the surveys that were previously mailed. This has helped us better understand not only the physical problems, but the other types of improvements you would like to see in your neighborhood. If you have not returned the survey, or no longer have a copy, another copy has been enclosed. Please bring it with you to the meeting, or mail it to us if you cannot attend. We have also prepared a brochure addressing common questions asked by residents of areas where improvement projects are proposed. A copy of the brochure is enclosed with this mailing. If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to call us in the Engineering Division at 763 -569- 3340. I hope to see you on January 15 at the West Fire Station at 63rd and Brooklyn Boulevard at 6:30 p.m. Since Diane Spector DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS • cc: Mayor Kragness and City Council Members 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Recreation and Community Center Phone & TDD Number Brooklyn Center, MN 55430-2199 (763) 569 -3400 City Hall & TDD Number (763) 569 -3300 FAX (763) 569-3434 FAX (763) 5 69- 3494 I SURVEY is This survey will help us better understand needs in your neighborhood.

Our televised sewer inspections typically show a number of sanitary sewer services with moderate to severe root infiltration. Have you experienced any problems with sanitary sewer service, such as the line plugging, or having the service cleaned out to the street? How often? Do you have boulevard trees near your service? • 2. Typically, improvements to the storm drainage system are needed. Do you have a problem with drainage or flooding? In the street, your yard, your basement? 3. Are you aware of, or experienced problems relating to the water distribution system, such as poor water quality? • 4. What other concerns do you have? Are there traffic problems? Specific code enforcement needs? What kinds of ideas do you have for neighborhood beautification? Are you interested in workshops on topics such as landscaping, ideas for home S remodeling, etc. ? Do you need blockwatch group information? Should you have questions or need more information, please contact the engineering division at 569 -3340. • Your name: Address: Please return by November 29, 2001 to: Engineering Division City of Brooklyn Center 6301 Shingle Creek Pkwy Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 FAX 763 -569 -3494 email info @ci.brooklyn- center.mn.us • City of Brooklyn Center A Millennium Community February 12, 2002 RE: Proposed Southwest Neighborhood Street & Utility Improvement Project As the owner(s) of a property that is not classified as a standard single - family residential property, the special assessments proposed for your property are calculated on a different basis than those properties. In accordance with the City's Special Assessment Policy, where streets and utilities are being reconstructed assessments for properties which are not zoned and used as R -1 (single family) land uses are assessed based on the size of the parcel. For R -2 or R -3 properties (duplexes, townhomes, and condos), the assessment is calculated by multiplying the front footage of the property times $32.00 for streets and $10.53 for storm drainage. The charge per unit is then that total divided by the number of units. For example, for a duplex with one owner, the charge would be divided by one unit. A duplex or side -by -side where the units are individually owned would be divided by two. For a building with 100 condos, each condo would be assessed 1 /100` of the total charge. • For multiple family and non - residential property, the size is calculated as the frontage of the property abutting the improved street times the depth of the property, with a maximum depth of 200 feet. In 2002, the per square foot rates are $0.29 per square foot for street improvements and $0.15 per square foot for storm drainage improvements, 2nd $0.05 for streets and $0.02 for storm drainage for non - abutting, benefiting multi - family and commercial properties. The excerpt from the proposed levy roll for the above referenced property is shown on the back of this letter. As noted in the cover letter, the hearing scheduled for February 25, 2002 is to consider the improvement project. The hearing finalizing the special assessments would not occur until September 2002. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to call the Engineering Office at 763- 569 -3340, or stop in at City Hall. Sincerely, �d-mil!/ ���•�� Todd Howard, P.E.

Four public information meetings were held within the past few months at the Brooklyn Center West Fire Station. On February 11, 2002, the City Council received an Engineer's Feasibility report regarding the proposed improvements. The City Council accepted the report, and based on the feedback from the four meetings and from the surveys and other comments sent in by residents, has scheduled a public hearing to consider the proposed improvements, with the exception of improvements on 47` and 48 Avenue. Due to a lack of consensus from the commercial property owners there, on February 11 the Council postponed improvements on 47 and 48' Avenues until 2004. The public hearing will be held at 7 p.m. on Monday, February 25, 2002, in the Training Room at the West Fire Station, located at the corner of 63r Avenue and Brooklyn Boulevard. At the public hearing the City Council will receive public comments, and then at the conclusion of the hearing will make a decision whether or not to order the project. You are not required to attend this bearing. If the project is approved by the City Council, you will receive additional information through a newsletter prior to any actual construction. You may also call the Construction Hotline at 763 -569 -3342 to listen to a recording stating g the result of the Public Hearing. If you are unable to attend, you may send your comments in writing to our office, and we will ensure the Council receives copies. On the reverse side of this letter is the Notice of Public Hearin g regarding o g the improvements. P vements. Also enclosed is a summary of the Engineer's Feasibility Report. These are the highlights of the proposed improvements: 1 All about the ublic streets in the project area are proposed to be reconstructed to 30 feet wide P P J P P ( current width), except France and 53 rd Avenues, and Osseo Road which would be 32 feet wide. All street reconstructions would include the addition of concrete curb and gutter and driveway aprons. In addition, substantial public utility improvements are proposed, including a significant amount of sanitary sewer replacement, water main replacement, and the addition of new storm sewers. 2) The proposed assessments for single family zoned residential properties for streets are $2,400 per property and for storm drainage $790 per property, for a total assessment of $3,190. Duplexes and condominiums are charged $32.00 for streets and $10.53 for storm drainage per front foot, divided by the number of units. Each unit at the Beach Condos would be assessed $346.37 for streets and $167.21 for storm drainage. All other types of property would be assessed at $0.29/sf for streets and $0.14 /sf for storm drainage. These are fixed amounts. The assessments would not be more than that. If the project is approved. a separate hearing on assessments will take place this fall. You would NOT have to vav anv assessments until AFTER this hearinz in Sentember. In general, you would have 3 options for payment: you may pay the assessments in full; you may make installment payments over 10 years; or you may begin making installment payments and pay the balance remaining in full at any time in the next 10 years. More detailed information regarding special assessments, payment options, and financial assistance will be sent to you at a later date, should the project be ordered by the City Council.

Streets — The existing surface is to be removed and gravel added to improve the strength of the roadbed. New concrete curb and gutter and driveway aprons would be installed. The majority of roads would be paved to a width of 30 feet, which approximately matches the existing width. France Avenue and 53` Avenue are Municipal State Aid streets that carry approximately 2,000 vehicles per day and would be constructed to a width of 32 feet. A trail is proposed connecting Twin Lake Park to France Avenue. Existing sidewalks would be replaced with a 10 -foot bituminous trail. Streetlights are proposed to be replaced with more decorative poles and fixtures, except where existing transmission wires must be maintained. Boulevards trees removed as a result of construction would be replaced in Spring 2003. Storm Drainage — Storm sewers and catch basins would be added to provide additional pick -up points throughout the neighborhood, thereby allowing streets to be re- graded to provide more positive drainage, and to minimize localized flooding. Existing storm sewer system will be upgraded to accommodate larger rainfalls. A precast sediment collection device will be installed for water quality treatment. • Water Main —The majority of water main in the Twin Lake Neighborhood is unlined cast iron pipe that does not have corrosion resistant lining typically provided on cast iron pipe in later years. This pipe is scheduled for replacement. In addition, leaky valves and aging hydrants would be replaced as part of this work throughout the southwest area. Sanitary Sewer — Televised inspections and responses to resident surveys have indicated that root infiltration is significant throughout most of the entire sanitary sewer system in the Southwest Neighborhood. In particular, root infiltration and blockages are seen at the connection points between private service lines and the mains. Therefore, most of the sewer mains in the project area are proposed to be replaced. Assessments/Funding - Proposed assessments for the project are as follows: Single family zoned property: $2,400 Street Assessment $ 790 Storm Drainage Assessment $3,190 Total Assessment All other property: $ 0.29 /sf Street Assessment • $ 0.14 /sf Storm Drainage Assessment b • Project Schedule — The tentative project schedule is as follows: DATE ITEM February 25, 2002 Public Hearing May 1, 2002 Start construction October 1, 2002 Construction Substantially Complete September, 2002 Special Assessment Hearing City of Brooklyn Center T V1111A Overview — Project Area Q • eoo o Boo 1000 �rK U uaN 230 lut > OD IY N W E s 8 y _ eE i FIG.1 `�Aiiy'2002 Hotlin -5 Issue 'No J Cons truction e 763 66-�33`41 - "­ Southwest Area Nei ghborhood Improvements Construction begins this week Arcon Construction, Scope of work outlined Inc. submits lowest bid Construction will commence Monday, May 20, 2002 and substantial On May 13th the City Council completion of the project is expected by October 15, 2002.

The public hearing on these special assessments has been scheduled for September 9, 2002, at 7 p.m. in City Hall. A special assessment hearing is your opportunity to publicly discuss with the City Council the proposed assessments. You do not have to attend the meeting. If you have a comment or question you may call or write to the Council, Mayor, City ivlana.ger, or City staff. All members of the Council receive copies of any letters received. If you have any objections to the assessments, please follow the procedures outlined within the official Notice of Public Hearing. Special assessment charges for your property are highlighted on the proposed special assessment levy roll. NO BILL WILL BE SENT. This letter is your notice. You will not receive any further information, unless the Council makes a change to the proposed assessments at the public hearing. You can call the Construction Hotline (763 -569 -3342) from September 10 -20, 2002 to get the results of the public hearing • If the Council adopts the proposed special assessments, you have the following payment options: • If you choose to pay in full between September 10 and November 25, 2002: 1. You may pay the total special assessment in full, without interest, within 30 days of its adoption (any time between September 10 and October 10, 2002). 2. From October 11 through November 25, 2002, you may pay the total assessment, with interest calculated from October 1, 2002, to the date of payment. Please contact the Assessor's office at 763- 569 -3310 for a navoff balance. If you choose to pay your assessment in full, you may do so in person or by mail. Please snake checks payable to "City of Brooklyn Center ". If paying by mail, enclose a note stating that this is a payment of a special assessment, and the address of the property. Mail your payment to, or make payment in person at, the City Assessor § Office in City Hall. • If you choose to pay in installments with your property taxes, starting in 2003: 1. You may choose to make payments with your property taxes over a 10 -year period, at 6.5 percent interest. If you wish this payment option, you do not have to do anything —if the assessment is not paid in full by November 25, 2002, it automatically "rolls over" to your taxes. The first payment will be due with your taxes in 2003. If you choose this option and your property taxes are escrowed, we suggest you review your mortgage papers. Some mortgage companies require you to send them copies of any notifications of special S assessments. 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Recreation and Community Center Phone & TDD Number Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 -2199 (763) 569 -3400 City Hall & TDD Number (763) 569 -3300 - FAX (763) 569 -3434 FAX (763) 569 -3494 • Please note that unlike some loans, such as your mortgage, you cannot "send alon g a little extra" to a off the assessment faster. This is because state law is very specific about s to p ay rY P how assessments can be collected: either all at once, or in even installments. If you want to retire the assessment early and save some interest, we suggest contacting your banker or financial planner to set up a savings plan. 2. If at some point in the future you wish to pay off the balance of your special assessment, you may do so prior to November 15 of any year. Please contact the Assessor's office at 763 -569 -3310 for a payoff balance. Partial payments: We cannot accept any partial prepayments of assessments (for example, half now, half later). However, you can pay off one assessment in full and make payments on the other with your taxes. For example, you could pay your $790.00 storm drainage assessment in full, but roll over your street assessment to taxes. Special note to seniors, and property owners who are retired due to disability: There is a deferral program available which may help you pay the proposed assessments. This is not a "discount ". You may be eligible to pay a portion of your assessment now, with the balance deferred to when you sell your property. You must meet certain income requirements to qualify. If you are interested in participating in this program, contact the Engineering Office at 763 - 569 -3340 as soon as possible for more information.

While some of the work on a few streets has been slower than anticipated, primarily due to private utility delays, we fully expect that the street and utility project will be substantially completed this fall as planned. For your information the following paragraphs provide past and future detail to key milestones in the project progress. The project was originally separated into three areas so that the work could be phased in such a • way to limit the amount of time the neighbors are disrupted by the construction project. Please refer to the attached drawing that illustrates the streets included in the project. The project areas are as follows: Area One — Twin Lake Area, (street highlighted in orange on the attached sketch) Area Two - France /53 Avenue /Osseo Road — (streets highlighted in pink) Area Three — Northport Area — (street highlighted in green) Area Two This area was the first to start because the storm sewer outlets through this street and is the deepest. In addition to storm sewer, water main and sanitary sewer was replaced. A significant amount of private utilities were impacted by the construction on 53 Avenue North and Old Osseo Road. The City's street and utility's contractor is required to coordinate the work, but has no control over their scheduling and work progress. The private utility facilities include Qwest's concrete conduit duct system and cable TV, power and phone overhead on poles that needed to be moved. * Contractor began work — May 20,2002 * R/W available for Xcel to relocate facility — July 30, 2002 * Underground storm, sewer and water work completed — August 28, 2002 * New Power Poles set on 53rd, waiting for power, phone and cable transfer — August 8, 2002. • * TO DATE:(September 17, 2002, waiting for private utility companies to transfer to new poles (Expected to take at least another 2 to 3 weeks. Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. Offices located throughout the Upper Midwest Equal Opportunity Employer We help you plan, design, and achieve Jane Cambers September 17, 2002 Page 2 • The good news is that Osseo Road has curb and gutter and a layer of pavement. France Avenue from 50 to 53 is ready for pavement next week. If Xcel had been able to relocate their facility in a timely manner, 53 North would also have curb and gutter and be ready to pave next week. Area Three • Work started in this area replacing hydrants and gate valves on June 6, 2002. • Reliant Energy finished new gas main replacement on August 7, 2002. • All public underground utilities completed in area September 9, 2002. • Curb and gutter is expected this week (September 16 th ) • Base Course is expected to be paved first or second week of October. The amount of time the contractor spent in this area is very typical of local street reconstruction projects that also require public and private utility replacement. Arcon (the City's contractor) typically had two crews working at 12 hour or longer days. Area One • • Work was started in this area by Reliant Energy replacing gas main on July 11, 2002. • Underground utility work started in this area September 5, 2002. • The utility replacement is expected to take 2 -3 weeks, then curb and gutter and pavement will follow. • Twin Lake Avenue will not be completed due to the high groundwater condition; the street will be paved temporarily. This area was not planned to begin until the other work was well underway. It is expected that the streets will get paved, but some sodding and restoration of the boulevards will occur next year in the spring. Hopefully, the groundwater will have receded by then, and Twin Lake Avenue and be completed as well. According to our records, even though this was the fourth wettest summer experienced in a long time and rainfall doubled over normal in June and August, the contractor actually experienced no work due to rain on only 6 days. However, the abnormal rainfall indirectly affected the contractor through the delay imposed by the power company. The storms and outages pulled already understaffed private utility companies away from the work required on the City's project. Some of the work has been delayed as much as a month.

As you Avenue has resented unique design a ahead know, the reconstruction of Twin Lake A p may Y Lake the p resen ce of p oor it to the form er Jo Twin Lake, p challenges. Due to the proxim Yn site and Tw soils, and the need to replace the water main, special techniques have been plamzed for the street, sanitary sewer, and water main reconstruction. • Due to the record rainfalls this summer (the 4"' wettest in recorded history) the levels in Twin Lake and the surrounding groundwater are much higher than normal. In fact, the groundwater has recently been found to be approximately 3 -feet higher than it was at the time soil borings were taken for this project in the spring of 2001, and approximately 2 -feet higher than levels found by the contractor this past spring (or 3 -feet below the surface). The higher groundwater presents a significant obstacle to the completion of the construction planned for Twin Lake Avenue. Since Twin Lake Avenue is so close to the lake level, the groundwater is very shallow. Typically, a contractor can implement deep -well dewatering operations that temporarily lower the groundwater and permit the replacement of the underground utilities and removal of unsuitable soils, but that course of action is not feasible in this area because of the proximity to the former Joslyn site. The Tanned for this project cannot that the construction as p J contractor and engineering consultant report p be executed with the current high groundwater condition. Regretfully, the City must postpone the replacement of the water main, removal of unsuitable soil, construction of concrete curb and gutter and project finalization on your block. If the groundwater is still too high in the spring, Twin Lake Avenue will be removed from the Southwest Neighborhood project and be included in a future street reconstruction project. Work that has been or will be completed this fall includes street overlay, gas line relocation, and re- lining of the sanitary sewer. We anticipate completion of the storm sewer because it is shallower than the water line. We anticipate completing driveway restoration. Lawn restoration will occur this fall if weather permits or next spring if necessary. • 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Recreation and Community Center Phone & TDD Number Brooklyn Center t , MN 55430 -2199 (763) 569-3400 City Hall & TDD Number (763) 569 -3300 FAX (763) 569 -3434 FAX (763) 569 -3494 September 19, 2002 Page 2 As a result of the postponement of construction, City staff will remove the following addresses from the 2002 assessment role for the Southwest Neighborhood Street Reconstruction project. .

Attached for the Commission's review is a copy of that resolution containing the various findings, considerations and conditions of approval for that proposal, which consisted of the rezoning of the property and development plan approval for the expansion, redevelopment • and rejuvenation of Brookdale Center. Condition No. 7 of the approval (found on the 4th page) states that the plan approval is exclusive of all signery, which is subject to Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances with the exception of allowing two freestanding signs up to 320 sq. ft. in area along T.H. 100. The applicant is requesting a Planned Unit Development amendment for exceptions to the approved PUD and the Sign Ordinance in order to be allowed to erect: 1. Two 3 -sided freestanding signs to be located along T.H. 100, each of which would be 55 ft. high, approximately 650 sq. ft. in area per face, contain a flashing/chasing or motion message and may also contain off premise advertising. 2. One 3 -sided freestanding sign (to replace the existing freestanding sign) located on County Road 10 at the Northway Drive entrance, which would be 32 ft. high, approximately 281 sq. ft. in area, contain a flashing/chasing or motion message and may also contain off premise advertising. The City's Sign Ordinance regulates the type, number, structure, size, location, height, lighting and the erection and maintenance of all outdoor signs and sign structures within the city. Per the Sign Ordinance, Brookdale is allowed outdoor signery for commercial uses located in a C -2 zone. For freestanding signs, which are the subject of this PUD amendment, Brookdale, under • 9 -12 -02 Page 1 • the Sign Ordinance, is entitled to one freestanding sign along each street frontage that exceeds 400 ft. (3 -T.H. 100, County Road 10 and Xerxes Avenue). Each sign cannot exceed 250 sq. ft. in area and 32 ft. in height. Brookdale's PUD rezoning authorized two freestanding signs along T.H. 100 not to exceed 320 sq. ft. in area. The finding or justification outlined in Resolution No. 99 -37 (found on the third page of the resolution) for this modification from the Sign Ordinance was the "uniqueness of the size, diversity of uses and significance of Brookdale Mall. The Planning Commission report that is part of the PUD record cited the fact that the amount of frontage Brookdale had on T.H. 100 exceeded 3,500 lineal feet and that, given the amount of street frontage, it seemed reasonable to allow two freestanding signs along the T.H. 100 right of way. The 320 sq. ft. maximum size equals the largest allowable square footage for any sign authorized by the Sign Ordinance, that being a "new project identification sign" for a project with a land area over 10 acres. The size of Brookdale and the unique nature of the regional shopping center were basically the justification for the modification to allow two 320 sq. ft. signs along T.H. 100 rather than one 250 sq. ft. sign. As the Commission is aware, the PUD process involves a rezoning of land to the PUD designation followed by an alpha- numeric designation of the underlying zoning district. This underlying zoning district provides the regulations governing uses and structures within the Planned Unit Development. The rules and regulations governing that district (in this case C -2) apply to the development proposal unless the City determines that another standard or use would be appropriate given mitigating circumstances that are offset by the plans submitted by the developer. One of the purposes of the PUD district is to give the City Council the needed • flexibility in addressing development and redevelopment problems. Regulations governing uses and structures may be modified by conditions ultimately imposed by the City Council on the development plans. The PUD process involves a rezoning of land and, therefore, is subject to meeting the City's Rezoning Evaluation Policy and Review Guidelines that are contained in Section 35 -208 of the City's Zoning Ordinance. Also proposals must be Y g �P p consistent with Section 35 -355 of the City's Zoning Ordinance; which addresses Planned Unit Developments. Attached for the Commission's review are copies of Section 35 -208 and 35 -355 of the City's Zoning Ordinance for review. As mentioned previously, the City Council adopted a resolution approving the overall PUD for the Brookdale redevelopment. That resolution contained the various findings and considerations necessary for approving that PUD. For the most art, these findings and considerations were made given the applicant's proposed use and p g licant s ro g PP P p this proposed amendment is to deviate further from the modifications already allowed for signery on the site. Any approval of the PUD amendment should acknowledge compatibility with the Policy and Review Guidelines of the previously mentioned Section 35 -208 and also the provisions of Section 35 -355 of the Zoning Ordinance. Attached is a copy of the site plan for the Brookdale Planned Unit Development showing the proposed locations of signs contemplated in this PUD amendment. The proposed amendment must be consistent and compatible with surrounding land uses in the area. The proposed amendment should be offset by factors related to the development. Also, the overall development must be a reasonable use of the property and be considered to be in the best interest of the community. • 9 -12 -02 Page 2 • Signery proposals for PUD's are for the most part not part of the development plans. However, proposed modifications to the Sign Ordinance can be considered provided these modifications are consistent with the PUD approval and are appropriate given mitigating circumstances that are offset by the plans of the development proposal. As previously mentioned, Brookdale's PUD approval authorized two freestanding signs up to 320 sq. ft. in area on Brookdale's property along T.H. 100. The rest of the signery was to be consistent with the City's Sign Ordinance (Chapter 34). Specific sections of the Sign Ordinance that affect the applicant's proposal are the following (attached): Section 34 -100. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE. The purpose of this ordinance is to protect and promote the public health, safety, and welfare within the City by the establishment of comprehensive standards, regulations and procedures governing the erection, use or display of devices serving as visual communications media; to promote and preserve aesthetics within the City; to preserve the residential character of residential neighborhoods; to preserve order and cleanliness; to avoid the appearance of clutter; to avoid litter and the growth of weeds around signs; to provide for necessary visual communication, to preserve and promote a pleasant physical environment, to protect public and private property, and to encourage safety upon the streets and highways within the City of Brooklyn Center by preserving sight lines and reducing distractions to motorists; and to reduce administrative burdens by regulating the type, number, structure, • size, location, height, lighting and the erection and maintenance of all outdoor signs and sign structures within said City. The City Council finds that off premise advertising signs constitute traffic safety hazards and are unattractive. The provisions of this chapter regulating off premise advertising signs are consistent with other efforts within the City to enhance aesthetics and promote traffic safety, such as regulations pertaining to solid waste disposal, anti littering and traffic safety. Section 34 -110. DEFINITIONS. Off Premise Advertising Sign. (Billboard). A sign that directs attention to a business, commodity, service, or entertainment not exclusively related to the premises on which the sign is located or to which it is affixed. S, ign — Any publicly displayed message bearing device for visual communication or any attention attracting device that is used primarily for the purpose of bringing the subject thereof to the attention to the public including any banner, pennant, symbol, valance or similar display. Sign. Flashing — Any illuminated sign on which the artificial light or color is not maintained at a constant intensity or color when such sign is in use, except for that portion of a sign providing public service information such as time, weather, date, temperature or similar information. • 9 -12 -02 Page 3 Sign, Structure — The supports, uprights, bracing and framework for a sign including the sign surface itself. In the case of a wall sign, the sign surface constitutes the sign structure. In the case of a sign structure consisting of two or more sides, where the interior angle formed between any of the sides exceeds 15 degrees each side shall be considered a separate sign structure. Section 34 -130. PROHIBITED SIGNS. 4. Flashing signs including indoor signs which are visible from the public streets. 5. With the exception of search lights which may be approved in conjunction with an administrative permit as provided in Section 35 -800 of the City Ordinances, no rotating beam, beacon or flashing illumination shall be used in conjunction with any display. 11. Off premise advertising signs except as otherwise permitted by Section 34 —140 and Section 35 -800 of the City Ordinances. Signs advertising a business no longer operating on the premises shall be deemed off premise advertising signs and must be abated in accordance with Section 34- 140.1j. The modifications to the PUD or Sign Ordinance that must be made to approve the applicant's request are the following: 1. Allow a three faced sign which by Sign Ordinance definition is considered three separate signs. The applicant's request is for, in effect, nine signs at three separate locations that are only allowed to have a single sign. It should be noted that a two faced (back to back) sign is considered a single sign provided the interior angle formed between the sides of the sign do not exceed 15 degrees. 2. Allow a flashing sign to accommodate the chasing message or motion sign proposed for the lower portion of the sign containing the running message. 3. Allow an approximate 650 s . ft. i pp q sip area (per face) rather than the 320 sq. ft. sign area for the two signs along T.H. 100, which were allowed by the PUD approval. 4. Allow 55 ft. high signs rather than the maximum 32 ft. high signs along T.H. 100 which are authorized by the Sign Ordinance. 5. Allow an approximate 281 sq. ft. sign area (per face) rather than the 250 sq. ft. sign area for the proposed new sign at the County Road I O/Northway Drive entrance. 9 -12 -02 Page 4 6. Allow for the potential that these signs would include off premise advertising (or a billboard) as proposed by the applicant and prohibited under the Sign Ordinance. The applicant has submitted their written request (attached) along with a site plan of Brookdale showing the location for the three 3 -sided signs. They list 14 reasons why the City should give consideration to their requested sign expansions. Basically, they argue that more numerous, bigger, taller, flashier, more visible signs are necessary for Brookdale. They incorrectly point out that no signs have been approved to be installed on County Road 10 (there is one at the County Road 10/Northway Drive entrance). They add that their proposal will eliminate instances that individual businesses will apply for their own signs avoiding a "hodge podge or clutters of unsightly signs on the mall property ". It should be noted that the Sign Ordinance limits freestanding signs to collectively identifying tenants or the complex. Wall signs are currently limited to collective or tenant identification as well and can only be allowed up to ten percent of the wall area. We do not anticipate a proliferation of freestanding signs or wall signs at Brookdale given the current Sign Ordinance requirements and Brookdale's own sign regulations only allow selective tenants to have exterior signage on the building. Again, no anticipated proliferation of signs is ever expected at Brookdale nor would they be allowed. Argument No. 10 made by the applicant might be considered disturbing given the City's Statement of Purpose in its Sign Ordinance. I don't know that it is desirable to establish • "landmark signs in the area and will become a standard for others to meet or beat ". It is arguable that this will "dramatically improve the signs in the area ". If the City allows larger, higher, flashier and off premise advertising signs without an appropriate Planned Unit Development finding and justification, we will constantly be faced with and challenged by other commercial establishments that think they need comparable signs to be competitive (especially with Brookdale). Such a challenge could be successful if our findings are not adequate and supportable. The applicant also cites competition with Ridgedale Mall which has a very large sign. They note that to effectively compete with them, it is imperative that Brookdale have adequate signage in order to be able to maintain itself as a viable business. A quick review of the Sign Ordinances and regulations for other regional malls such as Minnetonka ( Ridgedale), Edina (Southdale), Bloomington (Mall of America and Southtown Center) and Roseville (Rosedale) indicates that Brookdale signery is already competitive, and in fact in many cases, exceeds allowable signery at these major retail centers even without the expanded signs allowed by the Brookdale PUD. Ridgedale is governed by a covenant agreed to between the developer and the City of Minnetonka, which regulates outside signs, both freestanding and wall signs. Freestanding signery at the center is allowed only to have the words " Ridgedale Center" and no other tenant or business identification is allowed on the freestanding signs. Major stores and restaurants are allowed wall identification signs only. Minnetonka does not permit motion or running signs and no billboards or off premise advertising signs are i 9 -12 -02 Page 5 • allowed. Three sided signs are considered to be separate signs. The freestanding signs allowed for Ridgedale are on 394 and Plymouth Road. The 394 sign is approximately 400 sq. ft. in area. In Edina, Southdale Center is allowed signery the same as other commercial establishments in that zoning district. Wall signs are allowed to be up to 15 percent of the wall area. One freestanding sign not to exceed 100 sq. ft. in area is allowed to identify Southdale Center on one street frontage. A second freestanding sign not to exceed of 50 sq. ft. in area is allowed on another frontage. The maximum height of these signs is 20 ft. No motion or running signs are allowed and billboards or off premise advertising signs are not allowed as well. In Bloomington, the Mall of America signery is considered separate from the Bloomington Sign Ordinance. The allowable signs are as approved in the development agreement. On the north and south sides of the mall are freestanding signs and also freestanding letters on ground. The major tenants such as Nordstrom's, Bloomingdale's, etc. are allowed wall signs, the rest of the tenants are allowed no exterior signs either wall or freestanding. No motion signs or off premise advertising signs (other than pre- existing signs) are allowed in Bloomington. A three sided sign would be considered to be more than one sign. It is the opinion of the Bloomington staff that large, chasing, motion or running signs don't attract more business and that these signs don't make the centers more competitive. They also added that the Mall of America has surprisingly few signs. • In Roseville, Rosedale is not considered a special exception but rather is allowed the same signery allowed for other commercial establishments located in the same zoning districts. Rosedale is allowed freestanding signs on major frontage such as Hwy 36, County Road B2, Fairview and Snelling. The size of the sign is limited to 100 sq. ft. in area and no higher than 20 ft. Currently they have two such signs. Chasing, motion, or flashing signs are not allowed in Roseville and billboards or off premise advertising signs other than existing non - conforming signs are prohibited. Certainly, Brookdale's allowable signery is competitive with the major shopping centers in these four other communities. PROCEDURE As pointed out previously, this proposal is an amendment to the Planned Unit Development approval granted for the Brookdale Regional Shopping Center. As a Planned Unit Development amendment, the proposal is required to follow the procedures required for the original Planned Unit Development. This requires a public hearing, which has been scheduled. Notices of the Commission's consideration have been sent and a notice has been published in the Brooklyn Center Sun/Post. The Planning Commission must decide if the applicant's proposed PUD amendment to allow certain signs at Brookdale to exceed the number, height, area and display features authorized as • 9 -12 -02 Page 6 • part of the Planned Unit Development or by the Sign Ordinance is consistent with and compatible with the Planned Unit Development section of the City Ordinances. The Commission may wish to discuss various aspects of the proposal and to what extent such amendments may be considered appropriate. Concern is expressed especially with allowing flashing or chasing messages particularly along T.H. 100 and the authorizing of off premise advertising signs. These signs specifically seem inconsistent with the statement of purpose outlined in Section 34 -100 of the Sign Ordinance. Also, the question of the number of signs is important. Interpreting the ordinance to allow three sided signs as one sign should be reviewed carefully. The question of height and area may be debatable. The Planning Commission is also cautioned that to allow modifications to the PUD that are not justified or cannot be considered compatible with the PUD approval, could potentially lead to challenges opening the door for off premise advertising signs, flashing signs and much larger signs at other commercial locations. A draft Planning Commission Resolution will be prepared outlining the Commission's consideration of this matter and contain necessary considerations and conditions for a recommended approval, approval in part, denial or denial in part. e • 9 -12 -02 Page 7 i -�, .. �. ■, A 11�� �� /I���/ 111 ©E�i tl ;,., •� -" : " = " `, ivy ��� i �: � � i���i����� LOP ,, ` - oL -•, Bills UNI � � ,� � � � 111 1� � ♦ t ♦ :: X1118 III�I lit���s�� �,+ � •• � N � rrr �� . 1�� ♦R "�w� 1111 iii m ;: , II �., �� ■11111 �M �� `_"" - - 1 T Mme: �© �r�� �0 IIII Y, i 1,14 1 P1 Tj 1 1111 21 la a lar.

SAS, Planning Commission Application No. 99001 submitted by Talisman Brookdale, LLC proposes a rezoning from C -2 (Commerce) to PUD /C -2 of the Brookdale Regional Shopping Center which is bounded on the north by County Road 10, on the east and south by T. H. 100 and on the west by Xerxes Avenue North; and WHEREAS, this proposal comprehends the rezoning of the above mentioned property and site and building plan approval for the expansion, redevelopment and rejuvenation of the Brookdale Regional a R oral Sho m Center t . � pp o include the following; 1. The reconfiguration of the west end of the mall including an $9,650 sq. ft. second floor to include a 20 scree 4,252 seat theater; 2. An approximate 13,200 sq. ft. addition to the north entrance to the mall for • two restaurant sites; 3. An approximate 13,000 sq. ft. addition for general retail use and revised mall entry way along the southerly side of the complex adjacent to Dayton's; 4. A 4,650 sq. ft. freestanding Applebee's restaurant building along Xerxes Avenue North, northerly of the 56th Avenue entrance to the Brookdale Center; 5. Conceptual approval, subject to further Planning Commission and City Council review and approval, of four additional freestanding restaurant and/or retail buildings to be located around the perimeter of the shopping center; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly called public hearing on February 25, 1999; when a staff report and public testimony regarding the rezoning and site and building plan were received; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended approval of Application No. • 99001 by adopting Planning Commission Resolution No. 99 -02 on February 25, 1999; and . RESOLUTION NO. 99 -37 WHEREAS, the City Council considered Application No. 99001 at its March 8, 1999 meeting; and WHEREAS, the City Council considered the rezoning and site and building plan request in light of all testimony received, the guidelines for evaluating rezonings contained in Section 35 -208 of the City's Zoning Ordinance, the provisions of the Planned Unit Development ordinance contained in Section 35 -355, the City's Comprehensive Plan and the Planning Commissions recommendation. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center to approve Application No. 99001 submitted by Talisman Brookdale, LLC in light of the following considerations: 1. The rezoning and Planned Unit Development proposal are compatible with the standards, purposes and intent of the Planned Unit Development section of the City's Zoning Ordinance and will allow for the redevelopment and rejuvenation of the Brookdale Regional Mall which is a unique development within the City of Brooklyn Center and whose viability is considered to be vital to the stabilization of other commercial properties within the community. 2. The rezoning and Planned Unit Development proposal will allow for the utilization of the land in question in a manner which is compatible with, complimentary to and of comparable intensity to adjacent land uses as well as those permitted on surrounding land. 3. The utilization of the property as proposed under the rezoning and Planned Unit Development proposal will conform with city ordinance standards for the most part with the exception of the following allowed variations from the zoning ordinance which are considered reasonable standards to apply to this proposal: • Allow 5 ft. rather than 15 ft. greeenstrips at certain locations where an appropriate 3 to 3 lfa ft. high decorative masonry wall shall be installed to offset negative effects (this standard has been allowed in other areas within the city). • RESOLUTION NO. 99 -37 • Allow a 35 ft., or non -major thoroughfare setback for certain out building locations based on variances that have been allowed. for other commercial buildings along major thoroughfares and seem appropriate in this location as well. • Allow a 4.5 parking spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of gross leasable area rather than the 5.5 parking spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area required based on the shared parking analysis provided and on Urban Land Institute Methodology indicating a maximum of 5,133 parking spaces as being needed for the Brookdale Mall given the mix of uses and square footages proposed in order to meet the maximum weekday and weekend hourly demand, which is also in keeping with at least two major regional malls in the area. • Allow the 60 ft. wide parking dimension standard for 90 degree Parking rather than the 63 ft. required separation based on the fact • that Brookdale has previously been allowed to have the 60 ft. parking standard and it appears that it would work in this situation. • Allow two freestanding signs up to 320 sq. ft. in area along T. H. 100 based on the uniqueness of the size, diversity of uses and significance of Brookdale Mall. • Allow an increase from 15 percent to 20 percent of the allowable restaurant use without requiring additional parking at Brookdale based on the uniqueness of Brookdale, the mix of uses and dynamics Of multiple stops per person at the Center. 4.• The rezoning and Planned Unit Development proposal are considered compatible with the City's Comprehensive Plan for this area of the city. 5. The rezoning and Planned Unit Development appear to be a good utilization of the property under consideration and the redevelopment and rejuvenation of Brookdale Regional Mall are an important long range use for the existing property and are considered to be an asset to the community. 4 • RESOLUTION NO. 99 -37 6. In light of the above considerations, it is believed that the guidelines for evaluating rezonings contained in Section 35 -208 of the City's Zoning Ordinance are met and that the proposal is, therefore, in the best interest of the community. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center that approval of Application No. 99001 be subject to the following conditions and considerations: 1.

CHAPTER 34 - SIGN ORDINANCE Section 34 -100. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE. The purpose of this ordinance is to protect and promote the public health, safety, and welfare within the City by the establishment of comprehensive standards, regulations, and procedures governing the erection, use or display of devices serving as visual communications media; to promote and preserve aesthetics within the City; to preserve the residential character of residential neighborhoods; to preserve order and cleanliness; to avoid the appearance of clutter; to avoid litter and the growth of weeds around signs; to provide for necessary visual communication, to preserve and promote a pleasant physical environment, to protect public and private property, and to encourage safety upon the streets and highways within the City of Brooklyn Center by preserving sight lines and reducing distractions to motorists; and to reduce administrative burdens, by regulating the type, number, structure, size, location, height, lighting and the erection and maintenance of all outdoor signs and sign structures within said City.

VGJ 5B6 PHONE 604-736 -4390 FAA 604- 736.6650 ELECTRONIC ADVERTISING J une 24` 2002 I& Ron Warren Planning & Zoning Specialist 6301 Shingle Creels Parkway : 3rooklyn Center, MN 55430 Dear Ron, ( have reviewed the documentation with respect to the signage for Brookdale Center that was provided to Bradford Freeman and it seems that some time ago that the City of Brooklyn varied the sign ordinances to allow for the installation of 2 freestanding sigr..s on Highway 100. The signs that were approved are each to be 32 ft in height and 320 sq. f3. Since then, the mall owners Talisman Brookdale Associates have been made aware o ['a unique sign installation offered by Spectacular Electronic Advertising whereas Spectacular pays 100% of the costs to have signs manufactured, installed and maintai .ied. In addition, each main sign features an LED VIDEO DISPLAY that allows retailers the ability to instantly advertise their specials or sales and the mall to make the passing motorists aware of the time, temperature, mall hours of operation etc. As well as this, the mall will be able to offer free advertising time on the video dis:pla. y to local and national non- profit charity organizations. This will greatly benefit these organizations and promote good will in the community. Based on the aforementioned, the mall owners have requested for Spectacular Electre; nie Advertising to apply for a variance to have the following signs installed. 1. 2 — 3 sided — 5 5 ft tall pylon signs on Highway 100; 2. 1 — 3 sided - 32 ft tall pylon sign on County Load 10. The designs have already been submitted to you. The main reasons that the permits should be varied are as follows: 1. The signs that are being offered by Spectacular Electronic Advertising are very unique in size and shape and will offer a far more pleasing visual appearance than traditional pylon signs that the mall may be able to afford. The retail value of the total sign package being proposed by Spectacular Electronic is well over $1.:: million dollars; • www.spectacularelectron 1c.com A WORLDWIDE Ei- tcTRONic ADVERTISING COMPANY JUN -27 -02 12:07 PM FIRST CAPITAL E NT. INC. 604 320 7367 P.03 very, ve ex Because of their uniqueness they ry, ry ensive to install and mainte -n. p Spectacular earns it income from leasing advertising panels to the tenants, whi ;:h allows them to be able to pay for the signs, Therefore they have to be larger and offer more advertising space to the tenants; 2. The mall has over 90 businesses' in it and each of them require adequate expo:ure on all traffic flows passing the mall so that they will remain in business and provide employment to many individuals in the area. The signs that are being proposed offer more, larger and better advertising panels and in the event a retailer is unable to obtain space on the sign faces they will be able to advertis;: on the LED VIDEO SCREEN; 3. The mall requires exposure on all traffic flows and at this time no signs have beers approved to be installed on County Road 10. This is the location of one of the main entrances and a sign is required here so that shoppers will be able to determine where the mall entrance is. 4. It is a proven fact that large signs installed at the point of purchase is the most effective and cost efficient means for a business to advertise its products and services and it is a necessity that the business's in the mall have an opportunit;1 to advertise in this manner to ensure that they and the mall remain as a viable business concern. 6. The mall is agreeing in its agreement with Spectacular that it will not allow aj:.y individual business's to install its own signs, thereby eliminating any instances that individual business's will apply for their own signs. In other words there will • never be a hodgepodge or clutters of unsightly signs on the mall property; 7. The signs proposed by Spectacular Electronic are compatible with the new exterior of the mall and will dramatically improve and enhance the visual appearance of the newly renovated mall; 8. That the mall area is very, very large with a tremendous amount of highway exposure and signs of this size and shape will be suitable for such an area. 9. If the 90 plus tenants in the mall were individual businesses and stretched alc:ig the highway they would require at least 90 individual signs, composed of thousands of sq. ft. in size. The proposed signs allow for many business's to a dvertise on a w sig ns, there permanently eliminat an a fe y Y need for this. � Yp g 10. The proposed signs will become landmark signs in the area and will become a standard for others to meet or beat, thereby ensuring that others install the mc st visually appearing signs. This will dramatically improve the signs in the azee thereby improving the visual appearances of your city. 11. The mall and Spectacular Electronic Advertising is interested in promoting g, )od will in the community and surrounding areas and will make advertising time available on the LED VIDIO SCREEN "free of charge" to any and all non - profit and charitable organizations that may wish to advertise on it from time to tin; e. ::. This will allow organizations such as cancer societies etc. to place their wessages in full view of hundreds of thousands of individuals on a daily basis, thereby providing a valuable service to many unfortunate individuals. • JUN -27 -02 12:08 PM FIRST CAPITAL ENT. INC. 604 320 7367 P.04 k 12. Highway 100 is very wide and in order to reach traffic on the far side of the Highway signs of at least 55 ft tall and the requested square footage must be installed. 13. As well as this, the traffic travels at a very high speed on this freeway and for the sign to be readable it must have large easy to read advertising panels. 14. Brookdale Mall is in direct competition with Ridgedale Mall, which has aver, large sign. In order to effectively compete with them it is imperative that Brookdale has adequate signage in order to be able to maintain itself as a viable business. Thank you for your consideration in this matter and I would appreciate it if you woul:l schedule our submission to be heard on July 25", 2002. Yours truly, Ken Meiklejohn President Spectacular Electronic Advertising (Minnesota) Inc. Requesting a variance to install the following: 1. One 55 ft high main double face sign as per sketch #1on the shopping mall property at spot marked #1 in the attached site plan. 2. 0 ' ft high double face sign as per sketch #2 on the shopping mall property at spot marked #2 in the ched site plan. 3.

Schlesinger Subject: Brookdale - Ground Lease for a Pylon Sign • Dear Ken: The following is the information you requested: Brookdale Center 1108 Brookdale Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 The names of the owners are as follows: Talisman Brookdale Associates, L.L.C. 1500 San Remo Avenue, Suite #135 Coral Gables, FL 33146 If you need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Barbara Rodriguez Talisman Companies (305) 662 -9559 • 6/21/02 - BROOKDALE CENTER BROOKLYN CENTER, MN ITEM 5: 35 -704, MINIMUM PARKING SPACES REQUIRED, ARTICLE 2C (Zoning) • The current code requires that the calculations for parking be based on the Gross Floor Area of the building. The typical shopping area incorporates an unusually high amount of floor area in common area uses. Brookdale Center is also unusual by today's mall standards as the area of the interior common mall areas are much greater then current mall designs recommend. These are common mall walkways and court areas, shipping and receiving areas, service areas, storage areas and etc. that are not used to hold or cause the patron count to increase but are usually used for accessing from one tenant space to another. It is not the practice to create greater common floor area space to generate more patrons or customers. Request: 1 j • Allow the use of "Gross Lease Area" (GLA) to be used to determine the requirements in the Center in lieu of "Gross Floor Area" (GFA). ITEM 6: SECTION 35 -704, MINIMUM PARKING SPACES REQUIRED (Zoning) ARTICLE 2C The current zoning ordinance requires 5.5 car spaces per 1,000 SF of GFA. As previously requested in Item 5 above the use of GLA in lieu of GFA has been requested. Additionally the applicant is requesting that the car space requirement be modified to reflect a practical understanding of the actual use of the expanse of parking spaces provided and the relatively few periods when the availability of parking is a problem to the center or its patrons. The applicant purposes a 4.5 car space per 1,000 SF of GLA although the present layout provides 5.19 cars per 1,000 SF of GLA. The project Site Plan as presented provides 6,263 car spaces. This is a greater number of spaces then the existing car count. The car count has been adequate in the past for patron parking and expected to be adequate for the expansion and theater use requested. The varied peak hours for shopping and theater customers normally allow for adequate parking with the exception of certain traditional and seasonal excessive shopping days. It is also noted here that there has been usable land area removed from the original center aggregate property for the state highway ramps and the Shingle Creek pedestrian walkway. Request: • • Allow the project to base their car space requirements on 4.5 car spaces per 1,000SF of GLA. • Allow the Developer the option and flexibility to finalize their design of the parking layout and count to the proposed standards approved by this PUD or a design that improves on the approved standards. ITEM 7: SECTION 34 -140, PERMITTED SIGNS, ARTICLES 1,212 (Sign Ordinance) The current sign ordinance allows the installation of a freestanding sign along the State Route 100 right of way. Due to the expanse, 3,500 lineal feet, of property along this premium frontage it is requested that a second freestanding sign be allowed with adequate spacing from the already allowed freestanding sign - The signs are both necessary as they provide identification and suggestion to the public that a viable mall is readily available in the community. In the case of the theater it provides information regarding features being shown to bring the patron to the center rather then travel to another center out of the community. The sign ordinance allows a freestanding sign for properties having at least 400 feet of roadway frontage. The center has much greater frontage on State Route 100 then that allowed for other single businesses and the center represents many businesses that depend on this type of exposure for their success. EXHIBIT "A" ATTACHED. "PYLON SIGN ELEVATION" Request: • Allow the installation of a second freestanding sign along the State Route right of way in conformance to the setback, other sign ordinance and the PUD approved requirements. ITEM 9: SECTION 34 -140, PERMITTED SIGNS, ARTICLE 3A2a (Sign Ordinance) The current sign ordinance allows freestanding signage to a maximum of 250SF on buildings that have 24,000 SF or greater GFA. Brookdale Center is in excess of 1,200,000 SF of GLA The center, as most businesses, requires exposure to the public on a continuos basis to remain viable. A new development is • permitted by the sign ordinance to maintain a sign of up to 320SF where the new development contains 10 ' 3 - BROOKDALE CENTER BROOKLYN CENTER, MN • acres or greater. This indicates that the city has concern for a new development to have significant exposure, through adequate signage, to assist in the success of the development. The center is in the same condition as the new development but lasting a longer period of time. There is the continuos need for signage exposure to enable the center to sustain their market attraction. The center should have the same assistance through adequate signage in particularly on the heavily traveled SR100. Request: • Allow the freestanding signs along State Route 100 to be up to a maximum of 320SF for a single face on a double -faced sign. ITEM 10: SECTION 35 -704 MINIMUM PARKING SPACES REQUIRED (Zoning) Article 2.c Other retail stores or centers and financial institutions The applicant requests that the percentage of restaurant space permitted of the Gross Lease Area (GFA in i the current zoning ordinance) be increased to allow the Applicant to provide the facilities necessary to serve the projected tenant and employee requirements of the renovated and expanded Center. Request: • Allow the percentage of restaurant Gross Lease Area in the retail formula to be increased to i 20% as relates to this section and article. • Allow the percentage of restaurant Gross Lease Area in the parking formula to be increased to 20% as relates to this section and article. 1 ITEM 11: SECTION 404.5 OCCUPANCY (1997 Uniform Building Code) 404.5.1 General ` The Applicant requests that the Building Code requirement for Accessory uses/Tenant mix be changed to i allow the Applicant to provide the services required to allow the mall to provide a correct mix of tenants. The addition of the cinema area impacts the GLA on which the accessory use percentages are based. An increase of the percentage will allow the tenant mix to be more in line with the ratio and GLA normally i • required to serve the retail segment of the mall. Request: Allow the percentage of mall Accessory uses to be increased to 35% SPECIAL PROJECT DESIGN CONDITIONS IN PROCESS A. WATERSHED APPROVALS B. OFF -SITE TRAFFIC STUDY ITEM A: WATERSHED APPROVALS s The applicant does hereby recognize that the redevelopment of the site will include at their cost the t relocation of the storm sewer system to the west of the Shingle Creek waterway. The storm water is to be ! re- routed into the new storm water structure constructed by the City along the Route 100 property line behind the J C Penney building. The Civil Engineer is currently working with the watershed consultant ; regarding the requirements and design. ITEM B: OFF -SITE TRAFFIC STUDY The traffic study of the of -site roads is in process at this time and is to be presented as an addendum to this application within the next two- (2) weeks.

SECTION 35 -208: REZONING EVALUATION POLICY AND REVIEW GUIDELINES The following responses are made to the REZONING EVALUATION POT.ICY AND REVIEW ' GUIDELINES of the City of Brooklyn Center as outlined in Section 35 -208 of the City Zoning Ordinance. I� l 4 City of Brooklyn Center Section 35 -208 REZONING EVALUATION POLICY AND REVIEW GUIDELINES. 1. Purpose The City Council finds that effective maintenance of the comprehensive planning and land use classifications is enhanced through uniform and equitable evaluation of periodic proposed changes to this Zoning Ordinance; and for this purpose, by the adoption of Resolution No. 77 -167, the City Council has established a rezoning evaluation policy and review guidelines. 2. Policy It is the policy of the City that: A) Zoning classifications must be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and, B) Rezoning proposals will not constitute "spot zoning ", defined as a zoning decision, which discriminates in favor of a particular landowner and does not relate to the Comprehensive Plan or to accepted planning principles. 3. Procedure Each rezoning proposal will be considered on its merits, measured against the above policy and against these guidelines, which may be weighed collectively or individually as deemed by the City. 4. Guidelines A. Is there a clear and public need or benefit? B. Is the proposed zoning consistent with and compatible with surrounding land use classifications? C. Can all permitted uses in the proposed zoning district be contemplated for development of the subject property? D. Have there been substantial physical or zoning classification changes in the area since the subject property was zoned? E. In the case of City- initiated rezoning proposals, is there a broad public purpose evident? F. Will the subject property bear fully the ordinance development restrictions for the proposed zoning districts? G. Is the subject property generally unsuited for uses permitted *in the present zoning district, with respect to size, configuration, topography or location? H. Will the rezoning result in the expansion of a zoning district, warranted by: 1) Comprehensive planning; 2) The lack of developable land in the proposed zoning district; or, 3) The best interests of the community? I. Does the proposal demonstrate merit beyond the interests of an owner or owners of an • individual parcel? Section 35 -208 Revised 3 -01 c. Accessory uses incidental to the foregoing principal uses when located on the same property with the use to which it is accessory but not including any business or industrial uses. Such accessory uses to include but not be restricted to the following: 1. Off -street parking. 2. Public recreational buildings and parks, playgrounds and athletic fields. 3. Signs as permitted in the Brooklyn Center Sign Ordinance. Section 35 -355. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT. Subdivision 1. Purpose. The purpose of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) district is to promote flexibility in land development and redevelopment, preserve aesthetically significant and environmentally sensitive site features, conserve energy and ensure a high quality of design. Subdivision 2. Classification of PUD Districts; Permitted Uses; Applicable Regulations. a. Upon rezoning for a PUD, the district shall be designated by the letters 'PUD" followed by • the alphanumeric designation of the underlying zoning district which may be either the prior zoning classification or a new classification. In cases of mixed use PUDs, the City Council shall, whenever reasonably practicable, specify underlying zoning classifications for the various parts of the PUD. When it is not reasonably practicable to so specify underlying zoning classifications, the Council may rezone the district, or any part thereof, to "PUD- MIXED." b. Regulations governing uses and structures in PUDs shall be the same as those governing the underlying zoning district subject to the following: 1. Regulations may be modified expressly by conditions imposed by the Council at the time of rezoning to PUD. 2. Regulations are modified by implication only to the extent necessary to comply with the development plan of the PUD. 3. In the case of districts rezoned to PUD- MIXED, the Council shall specify regulations applicable to uses and structures in various parts of the district. 35-45 c. For purposes of determining applicable ,. p rp g pp regulations for uses or structures on land adjacent to or in the vicinity of the PUD district which depend on the zoning of the PUD district, the underlying zoning classification of PUD districts shall be deemed to be the zoning classification of the district. In the case of a district zoned PUD - MIXED, the underlying zoning classification shall be deemed to be the classification which allows as a permitted use any use which is permitted in the PUD district and which results in the most restrictive regulation of adjacent or nearby properties. Subdivision 3. Development Standards. a. A PUD shall have a minimum area of one acre, excluding land included within the floodway or flood fringe overlay districts and excluding existing rights -of -way, unless the City finds that at least one of the following conditions exists: 1. There are unusual physical features of the property or of the surrounding neighborhood such that development as a PUD will conserve a physical or terrain feature of importance to the neighborhood or community; 2. The property is directly adjacent to or across a public right -of -way from property which • previously was developed as a PUD and the new PUD will be perceived as and function as an extension of that previously approved development; or 3. The property is located in a transitional area between different land uses and the development will be used as a buffer between the uses. b. Within a PUD, overall density for residential developments shall be consistent with Section 35 -400 of this ordinance. Individual buildings or lots within a PUD may exceed these standards, provided that density for the entire PUD does not exceed the permitted standards. c. Setbacks, buffers and greenstrips within a PUD shall be consistent with Section 35 -400 to 35-414 and Section 35 -700 of this ordinance unless the developer can demonstrate to the City's satisfaction that a lesser standard should be permitted with the addition of a screening treatment or other mitigative measures. d. Parking provided for uses within a PUD shall be consistent with the parking requirements contained in Section 35 -704 of this ordinance unless the developer can demonstrate to the City's satisfaction that a lesser standard should be permitted on the grounds of the complementarity of peak parking demands by the uses within the PUD. The City may require execution of a restrictive covenant limiting future use of the property to those uses which will continue this parking complementarity, or which are otherwise approved by the City. 3 5 -46 , Subdivision 4. General Standards. a. The City may allow more than one principal building to be constructed on each platted lot within a PUD. b. A PUD which involves only one land use or a single housing type may be permitted provided that it is otherwise consistent with the purposes and objectives of this section. c. A PUD may only contain uses consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. d. All property to be included within a PUD shall be under unified ownership or control or subject to such legal restrictions or covenants as may be necessary to ensure compliance with the approved development plan and site plan. e. The uniqueness of each PUD requires that specifications and standards for streets, utilities, public facilities and the approval of land subdivision may be subject to modifications from the City Ordinances generally governing them. The City Council may, therefore, approve streets, utilities, public facilities and land subdivisions which are not in compliance with usual specifications or ordinance requirements where it is found that such are not required in the interests of the residents or of the City. Subdivision 5. Application and Review. • a. Implementation of a PUD shall be controlled by the development plan. The development plan may be approved or disapproved by the City Council after evaluation by the Planning Commission. Submission of the development plan shall be made to the Director of Planning and Inspection on such forms and accompanied by such information and documentation as the City may deem necessary or convenient, but shall include at a minimum the following: 1. Street and utility locations and sizes; 2. A drainage plan, including location and size of pipes and water storage areas; 3. A grading plan; 4. A landscape plan; 5. A lighting plan; 6. A plan for timing and hasin of the development; P g P 7. Covenants or other restrictions proposed for the regulation of the development; 35 -47 8. A site plan showing the location of all structures and parking areas; 9. Building renderings or elevation drawings of all sides of all buildings to be constructed in at least the first phase of development; and 10. Proposed underlying zoning classification or classifications. Such information may be in a preliminary form, but shall be sufficiently complete and accurate to allow an evaluation of the development by the City. b. The Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing on the development plan. Notice of such public hearing shall be published in the official newspaper and actual notice shall be mailed to the applicant and adjacent property owners as required by Section 3 5-2 10 of this ordinance. The Planning Commission shall review the development plan and make such recommendations as it deems appropriate regarding the plan within the time limits established by Section 35 -210 of this ordinance. c. Following receipt of the recommendations of the Planning Commission, the City Council shall hold such hearing as it deems appropriate regarding the matter. The City Council shall act upon the development plan within the time limits established by Section 35 -210 of this ordinance. Approval of the development plan shall constitute rezoning of the property to • PUD and conceptual approval of the elements of the plan. In addition to the guidelines provided in Section 35 -208 of this ordinance, the City Council shall base its actions on the rezoning upon the following criteria: 1. Compatibility of the plan with the standards, purposes and intent of this section; 2. Consistency of the plan with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan; 3. The impact of the plan on the neighborhood in which it is to be located; and 4. The adequacy of internal site organization, uses, densities, circulation, parking facilities, public facilities, recreational areas, open spaces, and buffering and landscaping. The City Council may attach such conditions to its, approval as it may determine to be necessary to better accomplish the purposes of the PUD district. d. Prior to construction on any site zoned PUD, the developer shall seek plan approval pursuant to Section 35 -230 of this ordinance. In addition to the information specifically required by Section 35 -230, the developer shall submit such information as may be deemed necessary or convenient by the City to review the consistency of the proposed development with the approved development plan. 35 -48 The plan submitted for approval pursuant to Section 35 -230 shall be in substantial compliance with the approved development plan. Substantial compliance shall mean that buildings, parking areas and roads are in essentially the same location as previously approved; the number of dwelling units, if any, has not increased or decreased by more than 5 percent; the floor area of nonresidential areas has not been increased or decreased by more than 5 percent; no building has been increased in the number of floors; open space has not been decreased or altered from its original design or use, and lot coverage of any individual building has not been increased or decreased by more than 10 percent. e. Prior to construction on any site zoned PUD, the developer shall execute a development agreement in a form satisfactory.to the City. f. Applicants may combine development plan approval with the plan approval required by Section 35 -230 by submitting all information required for both simultaneously. g. After approval of the development plan and the plan approval required by Section 35 -230, nothing shall be constructed on the site and no building permits shall be issued except in conformity with the approved plans. h. If within 12 months following approval by the City Council of the development plan, no building permits have been obtained or, if within 12 months after the issuance of building • permits no construction has commenced on the area approved for the PUD district, the City Council may initiate rezoning of the property. i. Any major amendment to the development plan may be approved by the City Council following the same notice and hearing procedures specified in this section. An amendment shall be considered major if it involves any change greater than that permitted by subdivision 5d of this section. Changes which are determined by the City Council to be minor may be made if approved by the Planning Commission after such notice and hearing as may be deemed appropriate by the Planning Commission. 35 -49 DRAFT • Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.

The PUD amendment is considered compatible with the standards, purposes and intent of the Planned Unit Development section of the City's Zoning Ordinance and will allow for expanded signs at the Brookdale Center which is considered a unique development within the City of Brooklyn Center and whose viability is considered to be vital to the stabilization of other commercial properties within the community. 2. The PUD amendment will allow for the utilization of the land in question in a manner which is compatible with, complimentary to and of comparable intensity to adjacent land uses as well as those permitted on surrounding land. 3. The proposed number, height, area and display feature modifications from the City's Sign Ordinance are considered reasonable because of the uniqueness of the size, diversity of uses and significance of Brookdale Shopping Center. • • 1))?

The applicant has not shown that their proposal offers sufficient mitigating circumstances to modify this sign limitation. 3. To allow sign modifications for the Brookdale Center that are not justified on the standards, purposes and intent of the PUD section of ordinance would establish an undesirable precedent that could allow other commercial establishments to have similar signs that are contrary to the City's Sign Ordinance. • 4.

Also present were Secretary to the Planning Commission/Planning and Zoning Specialist Ronald Warren and Planning Commission g p g C s Recording Secretary Rebecca Crass. Commissioners Tim Willson, Sean Rahn and John Whitehead were absent and excused. APPROVAL OF MINUTES — AUGUST 28, 2002 There was a motion by Commissioner Newman, seconded by Commissioner Reem, to approve the minutes of the August 28, 2002 meeting as submitted. The motion passed. Commissioner Erdmann abstained as he was absent. CHAIR'S EXPLANATION Chair Pro Tem Boeck explained the Planning Commission's role as an advisory body. One of ' the Commissions functions is to hold public i p b is hearings. In the matters concerned in these hearings, the Commission makes recommendations to the City Council. The City Council makes all final decisions in these matters. APPLICATION NO. 2002 -015 (SPECTACULAR ELECTRONIC ADVERTISING) Chair Pro Tem Boeck introduced Application No. 2002 -015, a request for a Planned Unit Development Amendment to allow certain signs at Brookdale Center to exceed the number, height, area and display features authorized as part of the Brookdale Planned Unit Development and the Sign Ordinance. Mr. Warren presented the staff report describing the location of the property and proposal. (See Planning Commission Information Sheet dated 9 -12 -02 for Application No. 2002 -015 attached.) A Planned Unit Development rezoning from C -2 (Commerce) to PUD /C -2 of the Brookdale Regional Shopping Center was approved by the City Council under Resolution No. 99 -37 on March 8, 1999 (Planning Commission Application No. 99001). Mr. Warren explained that Condition No. 7 of the PUD approval states that the plan approval is exclusive of all signery, which is subject to Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances with the exception P Y P of allowing two freestanding signs up to 320 sq. ft. in area along T.H. 100. The applicant is requesting a Planned Unit Development amendment in order to be allowed to erect: 9 -12 -02 Page 1 • 1. Two 3 -sided freestanding signs to be located along T.H. 100, each of which would be 55 ft. high, approximately 650 sq. ft. in area per face, contain a flashing /chasing or motion message and may also contain off premise advertising. 2. One 3 -sided freestanding sign (to replace the existing freestanding sign) located on County Road 10 at the Northway Drive entrance, which would be 32 ft. high, approximately 281 sq. ft. in area, contain a flashing /chasing or motion message and may also contain off premise advertising. He further explained that the City's Sign Ordinance regulates the type, number, structure, size, location, height, lighting and the erection and maintenance of all outdoor signs and sign structures within the city. The Sign Ordinance allows Brookdale outdoor signery. Brookdale is entitled to one freestanding sign along each street frontage that exceeds 400 ft. Each sign cannot exceed 250 sq. ft. in area and 32 ft. in height. Brookdale's PUD rezoning authorized two freestanding signs along T.H. 100 not to exceed 320 sq. ft. in area. He explained that the Planning Commission report at that time cited the fact that the amount of frontage Brookdale had on T.H. 100 exceeded 3,500 lineal feet and it seemed reasonable to allow two freestanding signs along T.H. 100. The size of Brookdale and the unique nature of the regional shopping center justified allowing two 320 sq. ft. signs along T.H. 100 rather than one 250 sq. ft. sign. He added that signery proposals for PUD's are generally not part of the development plans. Modifications can be considered provided they are consistent with the PUD approval and are • appropriate given mitigating circumstances that are offset by the plans of the development proposal. Mr. Warren described the modifications to the PUD or the Sign Ordinance that must be made in order to approve the application that included the following: 1. Allow a three faced sign which by Sign Ordinance definition is considered three separate signs. The applicant's request is for, in effect, nine signs at three separate locations that are only allowed to have a single sign. It should be noted that a two faced (back to back) sign is considered a single sign provided the interior angle formed between the sides of the sign do not exceed 15 degrees. 2. Allow a flashing sign to accommodate the chasing message or motion sign proposed for the lower portion of the sign containing the running message. 3. Allow an approximate 650 sq. ft. sign area (per face) rather than the 320 sq. ft. sign area for the two signs along T.H. 100, which were allowed by the PUD approval. 4. Allow 55 ft. high signs rather than the maximum 32 ft. high signs along T.H. 100 which are authorized by the Sign Ordinance. • 9 -12 -02 Page 2 • 5. Allow an approximate 281 sq. ft. sign area (per face) rather than the 250 sq. ft. sign area for the proposed new sign at the County Road IO/Northway Drive entrance. 6. Allow for the potential that these signs would include off premise advertising (or a billboard) as proposed by the applicant and prohibited under the Sign Ordinance. Mr. Warren then reviewed a draft resolution and considerations for approval or denial of the application. Commissioner Newman inquired about the sign at Cass Screw Company along Highway 100 and France Avenue North. Mr. Warren responded that the sign is considered a non - conforming roof sign and no advertising can be on the sign that is not related to the business on the site. Commissioner Newman also asked for further clarification on what signs, including temporary project signs, are allowed under the PUD and asked for a definition of off remise advertising g signs that are prohibited under Chapter 34 -140. Mr. Warren reviewed what signs are approved under the PUD approved under Planning Commission Application No. 99001 and explained what types of sips are prohibited under the Si Ordinance. � PUBLIC HEARING — APPLICATION NO. 2002 -015 There was a motion by Commissioner Erdmann, seconded by Commissioner Newman, to open the ublic hearing on Application No. 2 - p g pp 002 015 at 8:52 . .m. The motion passed unanimously. p p Y Chair Pro Tem Boeck called for comments from the public. Mr. Theodore J. Meyer, Attorney at Law, on behalf of the applicant, Spectacular Electronic Advertising, stated the community vitality, increased property values and jobs are issues to be focused on when reviewing the applicant's request. He stressed they are applying for a three sided sign where one side would be facing the shopping center with the other two facing the highway. He added that the applicant believes it is appropriate to have a larger scale sign that will really impact the public and make the shopping center more visible and accessible to the public. Mr. Meyer stated that the applicant has talked to MNDOT and they do not feel this type of sign causes any potential traffic hazards. He continued by stating that Brookdale is unique and there is no other comparable site in the City with which to compare for necessary and desirable signs. Chair Pro Tem Boeck stated that from Brookdale's beginning, it was always anticipated that their signery would be minimal. He added that most eo le do not do impulse shopping at p P p Pp g Brookdale which is what these sips would attract. He believes that the current sip requirements meet the needs of directing and identifying "when you have arrived" at Brookdale. Mr. Meyer responded that this sign allows businesses an opportunity to advertise their servicesibusiness. • No other persons from the public appeared before the Commission during the public hearing on Application No. 2002 -015 9 -12 -02 Page 3 t CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING, There was a motion by Commissioner Reem, seconded by Commissioner Newman, to close the public hearing on Application No. 2002 -015, at 9:07 p.m. The motion passed unanimously. The Chair Pro Tern called for further discussion or questions from the Commissioners. Commissioner Newman stated that he is not bothered by the three faced sign but believes that this proposal is too far removed from the PUD approved and that any changes to allow signs as proposed should be initiated by the City Council by giving clear direction to make such changes. Commissioner Erdmann added that the ordinance definitely prohibits signs of this nature and a sign like this is more like a billboard than an identification sign. He also questioned the comment by the applicant that this means of advertising is needed by the tenants at Brookdale since other malls of this size have less signs and attract the public Further discussion ensued among Planning Commission members regarding proposed language for a resolution that would recommend denial of the applicant's request. ACTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. 2002 -04 There was a motion by Commissioner Newman, seconded by Commissioner Reem, to approve Planning Commission Resolution No. 2002 -04 regarding the recommended disposition of Planning Commission Application No. 2002 -015 submitted by Spectacular Electronic Advertising. The motion passed unanimously. • The City ouncil will 11 consider the recommendation at its September 23, 2002 meeting. The applicant must be present. Major changes to the application as reviewed by the Planning Commission will require that this application be returned to the Commission for reconsideration. OTHER BUSINESS The September 26, 2002, Planning Commission meeting has been cancelled. There was no other business.

A copy of the workshop objectives and agenda is attached to this report as Appendix A. II. KEY OBSERVATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS MADE BY THE PARTICIPANTS. A. Feedback from the Pre - Workshop Questionnaire. Prior to the workshop, the Mayor and Council members were asked to complete a questionnaire p q stionnaire assessing progress made on the goals for 2002, the City Manager's priorities for 2002, and identifying proposed goals for 2003 and the "next steps" the Council should consider pursuing relative to Smart Growth issues. Four of the council members responded to this questionnaire. A summary of responses to the Pre - Workshop Questionnaire is attached to this report as Appendix B. p pP B.

Goal No. 2: Support Brookdale Redevelopment. a. This is an on -going goal for the City. b. Needs: The following items still need to be addressed in pursuit of this goal: • Seeking development of more retail activity around the Brookdale area. • Beautifying the area with landscaping, etc. The City will need to find funding to achieve this. • • Mounting a campaign, in conjunction with the developer, to enhance the "Brookdale image" and to bring shoppers back to the new Brookdale. 3• Goal No. 3: Continue and Improve Code Enforcement and Compliance Activities. a.

This is considered to be an on -going goal. b.

City Manager's Priorities for 2003. The comments of the participants included in the Pre - Workshop Survey, Appendix B to this report, pretty well summarize the group's observations pertaining to the City Manager's priorities for 2003. D. Smart Growth "Next Steps ". 1. It was agreed that the Smart Growth effort would probably have to be carried out over the next one to one and a half years for completion. 2. It is proposed that a council work session be established to address, at a minimum, the following items: • Identifying a long -term comprehensive vision for what the City sees itself to be in the future. • Research and explore options available to the City to achieve its vision. • Establish specific directions the City wishes to pursue and identify the specific items that it wishes to accomplish as a result of these directions. • Establish processes to achieve the directions the City desires to pursue. • Identify specific critical land -use issues that need to be addressed. • Identify amendments required in the Comprehensive Plan � r • Establish a process for public involvement. • Define the City's priorities so that components of the Plan can be achieved in a staged manner. • Identify how the City will fund its involvement in any of the activities required to achieve the long -term vision and implement an amended Comprehensive Plan. 3. Other issues to be considered in the Smart Growth effort: • • Affordable housing 6 • • Levels of disposable income needed to support retail development /activities in the City • Transit issues /impacts /service requirements • The City's economic base. 4. Other direction provided relative to the Smart Growth issue: a. City Manager will start the effort in October - November, 2002. b. A work session will be established for the City Council to begin addressing this issue in October. C. City Manager will draft, and submit to Council, a plan addressing how to proceed, timelines, definition of who should be involved in the effort with the Council, and how the City will communicate with the community at large about the entire Smart Growth planning process. d. The i " C ty Council will be designated as the "primary t ask gn p ry team" addressing this issue with input to be provided by • others as requested by the City Council. E. Capstone Accomplishment that the Council would like to- Complete Within One Year. This particular discussion focused on identifying a project or accomplishment that could demonstrate clearly to the community the progress that the City and City Council have made over the last several years for the benefit of Brooklyn Center and its what it plans for continuing this past momentum into the future. The participants concluded that the Capstone effort should be both a celebration and a skillfully developed marketing activity that celebrates past accomplishments and excites the community's interest and enthusiasm about the City's future. The Capstone accomplishment will be a "success report" to be released by February 2004. This "success report" will: • Provide a 5 -year snapshot of Brooklyn Center's achievements. • Identify what the City and Council is seeking to achieve over the next • 5 years as future achievements for the City of Brooklyn Center. 7 • • Serve as a good marketing piece that will enhance citizen pride in the community and attract new citizens and businesses to Brooklyn Center in the future. The overall effort should focus on a sense of progress, achievement, and a vision for the future attainable through strong leadership momentum that this Council has created and intends to carry forward.

Candidates, however, will not be provided the Council packet distributed to the Mayor and current Council members. • No special requests for research from candidates will be accepted. The City Manager, however, indicated he would be happy to answer general questions candidates might have. I. Other Issues Raised by Participants.

McCauley City Manager Date: September 18, 2002 Re: Reorganization The organization of departments and staffing is constantly evolving. As time and opportunities present themselves, I have reviewed how we organize departments and reporting relationships. At times we have added full time employees and reduced part- time employees when that has been determined to be most effective in providing services and using resources. Changes have been made in response to keeping reporting functions separate from accounting functions or to have the ability to focus supervisory direction. This occurred when liquor operations were removed from Finance so that the auditing function would be separated from the operating function of an enterprise. Assessing was re- organized with the creation of Fiscal and Support Services with a resulting decrease of 1 full -time position. The Earle Brown Heritage Center was removed from Community Development and placed in Administration to provide better focus in Community • Development and more direct supervisory access for EBHC in Administration. With several vacancies in the Public Works Department, a study was undertaken at my request by Springsted, Inc. to review staffing and organizational issues. One of the issues addressed in the study was whether the Director of Public Works position should be combined with the City Engineer position. In reviewing compensation and the experience of other cities, recruitment and retention of en is difficult. Most of our comparable cities have a combined Director of Public Works /City Engineer position. Only Golden Valley has a Public Works Director position that is not also City Engineer. Another issue related to this review was the number of levels of supervision. I was also interested in reviewing the duplication of having both a Director of Public Works and and engineer attend the same meeting where one person was attending as the department head and the other was required for technical expertise. The study has recommended that the Public Works Director position and the City Engineer positions be combined. There are several other recommendations in the Springsted study to fill the Engineering Technician positions that are vacant, move the Public Works specialist position to Information Technology, and provide more standardization and training in the department, as well as create the position of Deputy Director of Public Works by changing the job title and description of the existing Public Works Superintendent position. While planning to implement these recommendations, 0 01 Shingle Creek Parkway Recreation and Community Center Phone &TDD Number Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 -2199 (763) 569 -3400 City Hall & TDD Number (763) 569 -3300 FAX (763) 569 -3434 FAX (763) 569 -3494 www.cityofbrooklyncenter.org the hiring of new public works personnel for currently authorized positions should await • the hiring of a new Public Works Director. During this same time, we have been reviewing the Administration Department and seeking to make it more effective in the areas of human resources and information technology. We have also reviewed how we are actually operating and the titles and descriptions given to personnel in the department. Based on the Springsted study and the review of Administration, I would propose the following: - Combining the Director of Public Works and City Engineer postions - Re- configuring the Public Works Superintendent job into Deputy Public Works Director - Re- configuring the Human Resources Specialist position into the position of Director of Human Resources - Combining the Payroll Technician/IT Assistant position with the Public Works Specialist position - Revising the Administrative Specialist position to assume more general administrative duties, especially in the area of Human Resources (the position would be reclassified from exempt from overtime to eligible for overtime the net result would be a $19 per month decrease in the top of the range for the position; this position has been left vacant pending reorganization in Finance and Public Works to keep the changes cost neutral and retain flexibility) - Revising the title for the Assistant City Manager to Assistant City • Manager /Director of Operations to more accurately reflect the oversight of EBHC and liquor. The net impact of these changes would be to reduce the number of budgeted full -time General Fund employees by two positions. There would be increases in compensation warranted for some of the upgraded positions that will use a small portion of the gross personnel savings. I estimate that we will save a net of $100,000+ in personnel costs by the reorganization set forth above. If there was no reorganization, the total 2003 budget for the positions would be approximately $637,464. With reorganization the 2003 budget for the positions would be around $478,220. Several revised positions would have higher ranges, but I would not anticipate putting people at the top of those ranges unless necessary to hire a new person for Director of Public Works or Assistant City Manager. The other positions either involve re- classifications of existing personnel or if a person is to be hired, I would not anticipate needing to go to the top of the range. The range over time will be higher than current ranges, but the overall costs would be lower due to a net decrease of 2 positions. Reduction in staff may impact the ability to perform all of the activities currently undertaken. The thrust of the Springsted recommendations is that we need to focus on the core project services. If we can still provide support for volunteer activities, we will, but we should not do so at the expense of the core engineering mission. • In the human resources, payroll, and information technology areas, the reorganization • will leave the actual generation of the payroll in Fiscal and Support Services to be completed by existing personnel in that department. The benefit portion of the process will be shifted to Human Resources in Administration. The Administrative Specialist position will be revamped and filled to provide that support and undertake project and human resources support. The Human Resources Director position will focus on training and compliance issues that have not received adequate attention. The introduction of the JD Edwards software is allowing the payroll process to be streamlined and data entry simplified to allow the changes. We have not adequately used existing technology, especially Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The Public Works Specialist position was partially for that purpose. Elimination of the Public Works Specialist position will more than fund the IT /GIS Technician position and provide better support to all departments. Police, Assessing, and Community Development all have GIS needs, as well as Public Works. Additionally, Jim Glasoe has conducted a review of custodial services after the remodeling. Based on the ability to partition off the building, the actual time needed to clean has decreased. He is proposing the creation of a crew chief position for the custodial crew, an increase in part-time help and overtime, and the elimination of a full - time custodial position. His estimated net savings of all these changes would be $22,000. We are in the process of reviewing his proposal and how it might be implemented. Combined, these changes would result in a decrease of three full -time positions and an • increase in part-time wages and overtime. There are some unknowns in this process as we review and revise job descriptions and duties that may impact the total savings from reorganization. To provide for those contingencies, some monies will be allocated in the 2003 budget for a few positions to allow for pay grade change that may be warranted upon full review of the comparable worth points and pay plan consistency.

City Council Agenda Item No. lOg BROOKLYN CENTER �ROOKLYH POLICE DEPARTMENT POLICE MEMORANDUM TO: City Manager Michael McCauley FROM: Chief Scott Bechthold DATE: August 22, 2002 SUBJECT: Request for Ordinance Amendment, City Code Section 23 -1703 Massage Licensure Last spring, two Brooklyn Center business colleges, High Tech Institute and Globe College, submitted license applications to conduct an instructional program for massage therapy. Both are 600 -hour diploma programs that prepare students for national certification in massage therapy. The curriculum follows the requirements set forth under Minnesota State Statute 146A on Complimentary Alternative Medicine. As part of their curriculum, the schools are requesting an on -site practicum that will give students * ractical experience during lab times. In order to facilitate this lab experience, the school's request to ave a massage clinic that would be open to the public and fees would be charged for a full body massage. In reviewing City Code, 23 -1703, both schools must submit application for Licensure to operate a massage establishment. It appears that both schools will have no problem in fulfilling the required license requirements. However, City code requires that all masseurs or masseuses under the business license hold a current and valid massage certificate. This becomes problematic for the student who is unable to meet the criteria of having massage related education, certification or other practical qualifications. I have since spoken with Charlie Lefebvre, Brooklyn Center City Attorney, regarding the issue. Mr. Lefebvre has written an amendment to the ordinance that is attached. The amendment essentially waives certification to a student who is enrolled at a recognized school that holds a massage business license and that the student giving the massage is under direct supervision of the instructor who is a certificate holder. The amendment to the Ordinance is being forwarded to the City Council for first reading. • CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held on the 23 day of September, 2002, at 7:00 p.m. is at City Hall, 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway, to consider an ordinance amendment to City Code Section 23- 1703 relating to license and certificate required for massage parlors and message establishments. Auxiliary aids for handicapped persons are available upon request at least 96 hours in advance. Please notify the personnel coordinator at 763 -569 -3303 to make arrangements. ORDINANCE NO.
