McCauley, City Manager DATE: February 8, 2001 SUBJECT: Northbrook Liquor Store Lease Negotiations As indicated in my last update, the new landlord at the Northbrook Shopping Center will not entertain a lease for a period less than three to five years, at an increased lease costs to the City. At this point in our operations, I do not feel comfortable with a long -term commitment to that location. The Northbrook Store is in very close proximity to the Cub Foods location. Additionally, we may, wish to consider a location at 69' and Brooklyn Boulevard. Two retail operations would appear to be a good fit. Having reduced from three stores to two stores, we are experiencing a number of benefits from that reduction. Hiring personnel has been eased as we cover two rather than three stores. Additionally, given the close proximity of the Northbrook and Cub Foods stores, a scenario could be developed that would be advantageous to operate only one liquor store. I was comfortable with continuing to monitor the performance of the new Cub Foods store and the declining sales at the Northbrook store, since we have been turning a good profit at the Northbrook store. That profit will obviously be reduced by increased rental costs at Northbrook and the potential remains for a continued sales decrease. The Manager of the Northbrook store feels that his sales might have bottomed out in response to the opening of the Cub Foods store, but a three to five year commitment at that location would not allow us to have the benefit of a full year's operation with both locations open, before making longer term plans. The purpose of putting this on the agenda is to discuss it with the City Council'to determine if you are comfortable with the course being undertaken which would have us close the Northbrook store unless we were able to arrive at a shorter lease term with the owners. 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 01/,31/2001 10:16 17635665873 ASIA FASHION AND FAB PAGE 01 far, V Jatuaary 31, 2001 Brooklyn Center Liquor City of Brooldyn Center Attn: 141s.

Since this workshop basically focused on "fine tuning" Council performance and implementation of the City's 2001 goals, the attached report is rather short. However, please review it and let me or my assistant, Sharon Wallin 303 - 235 -0823, know of any specific changes you desire before submission of this report to the City Council. As you move toward establishing the orientation for the newly- elected City Council member in May, let me know of any materials that you would like to use that I could provide for inclusion in the orientation that you will conduct. Kay Lasman suggested you may want to use the Westwood Case video tape. If that desire remains, I would be happy to provide a copy to you for your use.

Neu, Jr. January 24, 2001 © Neu and Company and the Center for the Future of Local GovernanceTm, 2001 CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP January 23, 2001 SUMMARY OF KEY OBSERVATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS REACHED BY THE PARTICIPANTS Prepared by Carl H. Neu, Jr. January 24, 2001 I. INTRODUCTION On January 23, 2001, the members of the City Council, City Manager, and Assistant City Manager participated in a City Council Workshop. This workshop provided an opportunity for the participants to review the overall performance of the Council, the goals established for the year 2001, and the processes to be used for the annual goal - setting session set for August 11, 2001, and providing new Council- member orientation after the election on May 1 st to fill a vacancy on the Council. A copy of the Workshop Agenda and participant materials is attached as Appendix A. II. KEY CONCLUSIONS AND OBSERVATIONS MADE BY THE PARTICIPANTS A. General Team Building: Review of Council Performance and Relationships 1. Council Performance: effectiveness in addressing and resolving issues. Council members were asked to identify those areas where issues have been addressed and resolved effectively and those areas where attempts to address and resolve issues may have encountered obstacles or seem to be floundering. 1 Items Addressed and Resolved Issues Where Obstacles or Effectively Frustrations were Encountered • Big picture goals • Brookdale established,communicated, and being achieved • Citizen concerns seem to • Old Police Department/ be moving away from big Community Center issue items toward smaller issues and concerns indicating that citizen confidence is growing because Council is seen to be addressing big issues • Citizen satisfaction seems • 69th and Brooklyn to be on the increase with Boulevard fewer complaints being received and greater focus being given by the citizens to City projects • Overall, the City is seen to Redefining the dog be "working well" ordinance • Responding and listening to citizen input • Impact on staff time resulting from "smaller issues" • Long -term financial picture /framework • Appropriate staff alignments e 2 • Review of Boards and Commissions in terms of making them more effective consistent with City needs and opportunities for citizen participation 2. Discussion pertaining to issues identified above that have not been addressed or resolved completely or have encountered certain obstacles. The following observations were made to some of the issues identified above that have encountered obstacles or have not been completed fully. a. Brookdale Essentially this is seen as the City being "locked in" to an agreement in which a number of the elements affecting the future of Brookdale are not under the City's direct control. Secondly, the City is seen not to have a long -term exit strategy relative to the Brookdale issue. b. Old Police Department/Community Center Basically, the factors are: • There is a fixed amount of money allocated by Council to deal with the remodeling of the old Police Department and Community Center. • There are a number of unknowns and what if's that will affect potential outcomes, designs, and choices. C. 69th and Brooklyn Boulevard The following factors were identified: • Until construction is done on the 69th and Brooklyn Boulevard intersection, it is hard to address issues with high levels of confidence pertaining to land use and other factors that will occur in the area. 3 • It may be appropriate "to wait" until the Boulevard construction is done before addressing subsequent issues affecting the area. d. Redefining the dog ordinance The primary issue here seems to be two -fold: • Council's comfort levels with various options available to it • Establishing a definite number of animals permitted per household • Council needs to resolve this issue quickly. The other issues on the list were discussed briefly with no specific conclusions reached as to how the issue may be resolved more quickly. 3. Working Relationships Within Council Basically, the Council members were unanimous in their conclusion that working relationships within the Council are seen as being "good ". Factors that indicate relationships are going well include: • A definite lack of partisanship within the Council • The Council's commitment to civility • Council's focus on "big picture" items. A primary factor that could affect the working relationship in the future is the introduction of a new Council member who will be elected on May 1 to fill a vacancy. This item is not seen as a negative, but a realization that whenever a new member comes into the Council, there is a period of accommodation and establishing new working relationships among all five Council members. B. Review of 2001 Goals and Approaches to Implementation The City Manager reviewed briefly the 11 goals adopted by the City Council for the year 2001. It was concluded, generally, that the goals and implementation steps were appropriate. Additional comments were made relative to three goals: 4 1. Goal No. 1: The Council would like to have more proactive "monitoring" of developer performance relative to progress being made on Brookdale. It was recommended that this monitoring might consist of a monthly report outlining specific progress being made. 2. Goal No. 5: This goal deals with construction of the community center and city hall. Much of the discussion relative to this is outlined above in this report. 3. Goal No. 10: This goal focuses on traffic calming efforts to be carried out throughout the City. The City Manager indicated a need for more specific information from the Police Department so that measurable and reportable efforts and plans could be established by which the Council and community could evaluate improvements being achieved relative to the implementation of this goal. C. Discussion of Annual Goal- Setting Session An outline of the process that was used for establishing goals for the year 2001 was reviewed. Council concluded that the same format for establishing goals should be used at the August 11, 2001, goal- setting session. D. New Council Member Orientation Council members concluded that the policies and procedures established for providing information to Council member candidates and newly - elected Council members should be the same as used for Council elections conducted in November, 2000. E. District 286 Elementary School and Grand View Park The City Manager presented some conceptual ideas pertaining to how the City and the School District could work together to create constructive options beneficial to both jurisdictions. Council concluded that the Manager should explore these options with the District and report back as to what opportunities have been identified warranting future consideration by the City and the School District. 5 i L _ Y Y APPENDIX A 6 CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP January 23, 2001 2:00 - 8:00 p.m. WORKSHOP AGENDA 1.

Conditions required for Motor Vehicle Dealer License that we cannot obtain: • Rental structure on the land, which structure shall have a true and full City Assessor's value equal to at least twice the true and full value of land used by such licensee in the sale of new and used cars. Currently, the land is assessed at $383,100.00 and the building is assessed at $221,900.00. If license is obtained, a special use permit would needed for the retail sale of automobiles. The following requirements, which would be very difficult if not impossible, would at that time be in effect: • 35' Greenspace from the rear property line, into the parking lot, reducing current parking spaces. • 15' Greenspace from property line nearest street towards building, reducing current parking spaces. There are currently 95 Parking spaces on lot. A 15,000 Square Foot Building requires 82.5 Parking spaces per current ordinances. This would allow room for outside storage of 12 -13 additional automobiles.

Change Order No. 2 in the amount of $99,011 is proposed for replacement of the sidewalk along 63` Avenue and Beard Avenue. The contract documents called for only spot repair of the existing sidewalks. During construction much of the sidewalk was damaged due to sewer service installation and tree removal.

It is proposed to fund the extra costs through a combination of Municipal State Aid and the Special Assessment Construction accounts. Change Order No. 3 in the amount of $191,527.00 is proposed to include changes in street, storm sanitary and storm sewer construction. The amounts and items for Change Order No. 3 are summarized as follows: Amount Item 74,612.00 Soils correction work and dewatering on 64" Avenue and on Brooklyn Drive near the park entrance.

A motion was made by Commissioner Mark Nemec to approve the minutes of the October 5, 2000 meeting. Commissioner Jay Hruska seconded the motion and all members voted in its favor. Report of the subcommittee reviewing the Enterorise Fund Cash Balance Targets. Commissioner Mark Nemec reported that he and a subcommittee including Commissioners Gavin Wilkinson and Jay Hruska met to review the cash balance target for the Water Fund. A catastrophic event of the loss of a well and need to replace it at a cost of $1,500,000 was previously included in the target balance of $1,650,000. This subcommittee considered a report from Public Works Director Diane Spector that a well most likely wouldn't be replaced and that need for filters on the wells costing up to $800,000 was a more realistic catastrophic event. The cash balance target also previously included a component of 15 % of the next year's budget for operating cash. In light of the reduced catastrophic event, the subcommittee recommended increasing the operating cash component to 20 % of the next year's budget. The subcommittee moved that the Financial Commission recommend to the City Council that the cash balance target for the Water Fund be reduced from $1,650,000 to • $1,000,000. All members voted in favor. DRAFT AFT Commissioner Larry Peterson moved that a periodic review of the cash balance targets of all enterprise funds should be undertaken and that it be placed on the schedule for conducting RFPs for professional services at three -year intervals.

Home Rehab Counseling Welfare -to -Work As you know, suburban Hennepin County has a critical shortage of decent, safe affordable housing. Over the last 10 years, CASH has developed programs that help low- income families become successful long -term tenants and homeowners. Homeownership is often referred to as the "American Dream" and the first step to homeownership is becoming a successful tenant. As the prices of homes in suburban Hennepin County continue to soar, the dream of homeownership for working families becomes even further out of reach. CASH has developed programs to help bridge the gap between the homes that people need and the homes they can afford. The foundation of our programs is education and counseling. With this funding, we are able to continue to provide quality service with our full continuum of comprehensive housing counseling services to the residents of your city.

McCauley, City Manager FROM: Tom Bublitz, Community Development Speciali J DATE: February 6, 2001 SUBJECT: Resolution Calling for a Public Hearing on Proposed Use of 2001 Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant Funds Hennepin County has notified the City of Brooklyn Center that its share of the 2001 Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement will be $242,294. This amount is a $2,082 increase over last years allocation of $240,212. Brooklyn Center is one of 43 Hennepin County cities participating in the Urban Hennepin County CDBG program. In this program, Federal dollars from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) flow to the County and are dispersed to the 43 participating cities. The 2001 CDBG allocation for the entire County is $3,630,728, which is an increase of $163,728 over the • 2000 County allocation. The Federal authorizing statute for the CDBG program requires that each funded activity meet one of three national objectives: benefiting low and moderate income persons, preventing or eliminating slums and /or blight and meeting urgent community needs. The Federal statute also specifies that each grantee must ensure at least 70% of the CDBG expenditure during the program year must be used for activities benefiting very low and low income persons. In the past, the County has managed and met this requirement at the County level and individual cities did not have to meet the 70% requirement at the local level. Due to an increase in the amount of funds allocated and expended on activities removing or preventing slums or blight by cities, the County could no longer ensure that it could meet the statutory requirement. Beginning in program year 2000 and continuing in 2001, each City has to meet this requirement at the local level. For 2001, meeting the 70% requirements means that $169,605.80 of the total $242,294 allocation must be expended on programs and services directly benefiting low income persons. Low income persons are defined as persons with incomes ranging from 50% (very low income) to 80% (low income) of the median household income in the Minneapolis /St. Paul metropolitan area as defined by HUD. As an example, a four person household earning $32,850 annually would be defined as a very low income household and a four person household at $50,200 income annually is defined as low income. • MEMORANDUM . February 6, 2001 Page 2 SUMMARY OF CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER 2000 CDBG PROGRAM The City of Brooklyn Center's 2000 CDBG allocation of $240,212 was programmed as follows: 1. Allocation of $204,212 for rehabilitation of private property. This program provides up to $15,000 per household for rehabilitation and repair of homes of low income households. The money is provided in the form of a loan which would be repaid when the house is sold, or at the end of 30 years, whichever come first. The 2000 allocation to this program reinstated the Housing Rehabilitation program in Brooklyn Center that was funded with CDBG funds since inception of the CDBG program in the mid 1970's through 1998. 2. Allocation of $22,500 for Household Outside Maintenance for the Elderly (H.O.M.E.) program. This project has been part of the CDBG program for seven years. The H.O.M.E. program provides minor maintenance and repair for persons 60 years of age and older and or permanently disabled individuals. Services provided include painting, interior and exterior, and minor home maintenance repair including installation of grab bars, and minor repairs including windows, sidewalk, house trim etc. Fees are charged to persons using the services based on a sliding fee scale relative to income, pursuant to Department of Housing and Urban Development guidelines for the low and moderate income. In the 2000 CDBG program, the H.O.M.E. allocation was increased by $13,500 from 1999 to provide expanded services. In addition to increasing the number of residents served through the H.O.M.E. program, primarily through exterior painting jobs, Senior Community Services, the administrator of the H.O.M.E. program, has made available its Senior Outreach program to assist in gaining a voluntary compliance of elderly and disabled residents who have violations in the areas of the City housing code. 3. Allocation of $13,500 to the Community Emergency Assistance Program Inc. (CEAP) to provide funds to CEAP's Handiworks program and Meals at Your Door program. The Handiworks program provides chore services to seniors and disabled persons at little or no cost and includes services such as lawn mowing, snow shoveling, housekeeping, household maintenance, painting and raking. The Meals at Your Door program provides hot prepared meals, which are delivered by volunteers to homebound seniors and disabled persons Monday through Friday. CEAP also is to provide assistance to seniors and disabled persons with code violations under the City's housing code. CEAP and Senior Community Services are to coordinate referrals between the two agencies. CEAP is to focus on less complex code enforcement items and Senior Community Services addresses the more complex code enforcement issues up to including major problems such as "garbage house" situations. The required public hearing notice has been prepared and includes continued funding of the Housing Rehabilitation program, the H.O.M.E. program and CEAP. s i CDBG Grant Application • Date of Application: January 16, 2001 Name of Organization: Community Action for Suburban Hennepin Address: 33 Tenth Avenue South, Suite 150 Hopkins, MN 55343 Executive Director: Richard Zierdt Phone: (952) 933 -9639 ext. 203 Primary Contact: Sherry Coates Phone: (952) 933 -9639 ext. 222 Summary Community Action for Suburban Hennepin requests $4,000 to support its housing programs for low - and moderate - income homebuyers, homeowners, and tenants. Organizational Information Community Action for Suburban Hennepin was established in 1985 as a private, nonprofit organization. It is the designated "community action agency" for suburban Hennepin County. Community action agencies were created as part of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964. In 1991, the agency decided to shift the focus of its programs to affordable housing and the resulting impacts on family and community stability. The agency now provides a range of housing programs that serve tenants, homebuyers, and homeowners. Description of Need It is no secret that suburban Hennepin County is experiencing its worst long -term, affordable housing crisis to date. Because of the scarcity of affordable housing, it is extremely important for families to successfully remain in their homes. The affect of losing housing is most alarming for low -to- moderate income families with children. Studies have shown that a high percentage of children who are failing in school, or who do not graduate, have not had stable housing. Through education on how to obtain housing, counseling on to maintain housing, and intervention to keep housing, we can help to stabilize families within their communities.

Page 1 of 3 Household Demographics During 2000, approximately 92% of the households served by CASH earned less than 80% of the area median income adjusted for household size. Staff Information CASH employees a team of housing specialists who have over 150 years of combined experience in homeownership and rental counseling, mortgage banking, real estate, and home remodeling. Proposed Activities Pre - Purchase Home Buver Education and Counseling CASH conducts monthly homebuyer workshops that provide information on each step of the home buying process. The curriculum meets or exceeds FHA, MHFA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines. We also offer individual homebuyer counseling to assist potential homebuyers in developing an action plan to overcome barriers to homeownership. The most common barrier is the high cost of homes in suburban Hennepin. Other barriers are lack of down payment and closing costs, and credit problems. Affordable Mortgage Programs CASH has established numerous partnerships with the lenders, government agencies, and other service providers. As a result, our clients have access to over a dozen first -time homebuyer and community lending programs that feature below market interest rates, down payment and closing cost assistance, affordability gap assistance, and/or assistance for home rehabilitation. • Home Maintenance, Repair and Rehab Programs CASH assists homeowners who have home maintenance, repair or rehab needs. Our staff can provide technical assistance in identifying needed repairs, writing scopes of work, finding qualified contractors, evaluating bids, and working with contractors until job completion. Foreclosure Prevention/Post- Purchase Counseling Technical assistance and emergency loans are available to homeowners facing a distressed financial situation caused by circumstances beyond their control that may lead to the loss of their home. The main reason for mortgage default is a loss or reduction of income. Reverse Mortgage Counseling for Seniors The State of Minnesota requires homeowners receive counseling from a HUD- approved Housing Counseling Agency before they apply for a reverse mortgage. Homeowners do not need an income to qualify for a reverse mortgage and it allows them to retain title and stay in their homes for as long as they choose. A reverse mortgage is a loan against home equity that provides the homeowner with cash advances and most reverse mortgages require no repayment until homeowner no longer resides in the home. Most senior homeowners use the cash advances for health care costs, home improvements, property taxes, and daily living expenses. Tenant Support Services For the past 10 years, CASH has been recognized as a leader in providing education and counseling to tenants in suburban Hennepin County. It is our belief that if renters are aware of their responsibilities as well as their rights regarding rental property, they will be better tenants. CASH has developed "A Guide to Renting in Minnesota" handbook with an accompanying curriculum which is • designed in an easy to use format that enables high schools, community education programs, and landlords to teach renters on how to become successful tenants. CASH will continue to provide support for tenant services involving rental issues.

Our agency is dedicated to service of families of the seven county area. Our experiences Blaine, Burnsville, working with this population is that family friendly services are limited. One of our goals is to help parents look at the needs - of their children: Many of the clients we serve do not Crystal, Hopkins, see the child's view. For example: demeaning the other parent has major long -term Minneapolis, St. Paul consequences for the child. Another example: a father may look at his situation as hopeless and express quitting his job and just moving away from it all. We let him know what the consequences are for such behavior. We also share some of our success stories with-him to give him hope, as these things he is experiencing seem so hopeless and if handled in a positive respectful manner, will soon be a pleasant_ memory. Our crisis line is one of seven services we provide and has proven to be a fine line of hope for the low income and underprivileged. Many callers do not have any idea how to . go about resolving issues such as visitation, drivers license revocation for nonpayment of childsupporr or dealing with an order for protection. Comments we might hear "They'-re my kids and I do not care. I just want to see them". We help them to- see the possible outcomes should they not obey a court order. - One caller this past month exemplifies the kinds of situational stress men_ experience. This father got a call from his ex -wife saying "I-have had it with these kids. Sendme money for tickets and I will send them to you." He did, and -when he got them, his three -year old son's toenails were missing, and his feet were black and blue. His thirteen and fifteen year old daughters were talking of suicide, as their mom's boyfriend had been doing some disturbing things. Soon after the children arrived here, the mom changed her mind. This father was stressed. We helped him prioritize his needs such as, getting his son to the doctor; getting his daughters to a therapist; getting an order for protection; letting his employer know what is going on so he would not lose his job; and getting the kids in school. Along with the other services, we provide that would help him. All of our site locations operate with funds from the community that each site serves. All sites do serve families from outside the site location to accommodate times and dates of services. This helps the families we serve. All funding requests are generated out of our Blaine office; all accounting and tracking of services are at our Minneapolis office. All staff are professionals MSW, LSW, MA, BSW, and are contracted for services, this allows us to run with a more responsible overhead.

It appears that people earning in the $10.00 per hour range do not qualify for any legal aid, but in no way can they afford legal representation. Thus, if an organization, such as the Resource Center for Fathers and Families, was able to provide some type of 1 w -cost legal assistance, the community *ould benefit.. The benefit to the community would result from parents being able to afford some type of legal representation or aid, which would result in an opportunity to be heard in court. There is much anger out there because people believe their voice , %Hill not be heard. Ultimately, children benefit When the court has an opportunity to hear both sides of a case, and can make a decision based on all the facts. There is also an obligation, I believe, to attempt to help families settle their issues through mediation first, and litigation second. This can also be aided with the representation of an attorney.

The public hearing is being held pursuant to MS 471.59. City Council Agenda Item No. 9e MEMORANDUM DATE: February 6, 2001 TO: Michael I McCauley, City Manager FROM: Michael Krech, Public Works Specialist �Mr— SUBJECT: An Ordinance Relating to Telecommunications Antennas in the Right of Way; Amending Brooklyn Center Code Section 25 -1008, Subd. 3 and Adding New Subdivision 5 to Section 25 -1006 Staff and the City Attorney have continued to discuss the Right of Way Ordinance and recommend adopting the attached Ordinance amending Chapter 25 of the Brooklyn Center Ordinance regarding right of way management. The first change is an addition to new ordinance language that is proposed in the amendment scheduled for public hearing on February 26 The second change is additional language which we believe is necessary to adequately manage the right of way. Changes in Section 1 allow the Director to limit the height of any above ground facility either above a minimum or below a maximum height. This applies to all above ground facilities including structures that may be used for telecommunications antennas. • Section 2 adds Subdivision 5 to Section 25 -1006. This addition restricts antenna facilities in the right of way to mounting on existing structures. New support structures built for the sole purpose of supporting antennas are not allowed. Antennas attached to existing structures may not extend more that six feet above the height of the existing structure; no antennas can be located where on ground equipment is necessary in a residential district; evidence of permission of the owner must be demonstrated; and the Director has review and approval of the design and location of the facilities. A second reading of these ordinance amendments and a public hearing would be scheduled for March 12, 2001. • • CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held on the 12' day of March, 2001, at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall, 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway, to consider an ordinance relating to telecommunication antennas in the right of way. 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. AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO TELECOMMUNICATIONS ANTENNAS IN THE RIGHT OF WAY; AMENDING BROOKLYN CENTER CODE SECTION 25 -1008, SUBD. 3 AND ADDING NEW SUBDIVISION 5 TO SECTION 25 -1006 THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Brooklyn Center Code Section 25 -1008, Subd. 3 is amended as follows: Subdivision 3. Standards for Constriction or Installation The requirements and standards for facility construction or installation are contained in the General Requirements as specified by the Director. The Director may assign or prohibit specific locations for facilities within the right -of -way, or any particular segment thereo and may limit the height of above- ground facilities All excavation, obstruction, or other permits issued by the Director involving the installation or replacement of facilities shall designate the proper location for the facility at issue. The Director may deny a permit application, as provided in Section 25 -1014, in the event the proposed location of such facilities is not consistent with the location required by the Director. The Director may revoke a permit, as provided in Section 25 -1019, in the event the facilities are installed in a location that is inconsistent with the location designated in the applicable permit. Any registrant whose facilities were previously located in the right -of -way in a position at variance with the locations established by the Director shall, no later than at the time of the next reconstruction or excavation of the area where its facilities are located, move that facility to its assigned position within the right -of -way, unless this requirement is waived by the Director for good cause shown, upon consideration of such factors as the remaining economic life of the facilities, public safety, customer service needs and hardship to the registrant. ORDINANCE NO. Page 2 Section 2.

MEMORANDUM DATE: February 12, 2001 TO: Michael J. McCauley, City Manager FROM: Diane Spector, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Staff Report RE: I- 94/694 Conceptual Plan Approval The City Council at its regular February 26, 2001 meeting will be asked to consider conceptual plan approval for the I- 94/694 project. The purpose of this staff report is to provide the Council with some background information on the issues still under consideration and to determine if the Council would like further information before making a decision. Some of these issues will not be resolved until the final design of the project is underway, and Mn/DOT needs conceptual approval from the cities in the corridor before it can begin the final design process. In general, the project consists of the reconstruction of the CR 81 and Broadway bridges, and reconstruction of the Hemlock Lane bridge and interchange; addition of a third lane from just west of Brooklyn Boulevard to Weaver Lake Road; and replacement of the pavement from approximately Dupont to Weaver Lake Road. Also part of the project would be the addition of some miscellaneous auxiliary lanes; construction of several storm water detention ponds; construction of a small amount of new noise wall; and rehabilitation (painting and repair) of the existing noise wall. Work in Brooklyn Center would likely not begin until Spring, 2003. Activities to Date Progress on this project has been relatively low -key. A Technical Advisory Committee consisting of local staff and Mn/DOT representatives met for about a year to discuss design issues. Mn/DOT then developed an Environmental Assessment and held an Open House in Brooklyn Center on January 18, 2001 in Constitution Hall. Mn/DOT has also held open houses in Brooklyn Park and Maple Grove. The purpose of the Open Houses was to provide the public with an opportunity to review preliminary plans for the improvements, to disseminate information, review the Environmental Assessment, and to gain public input. The Open Houses were lightly attended. Issues Many of the Brooklyn Center residents attending the Open House or corresponding with the • Council and staff had concerns that Mn/DOT would acquire their homes to widen the freeway. I They were assured by Mn/DOT staff that all the roadway work will occur within the existing • right of way, with widening generally occurring towards the middle, grassy median rather than towards the noise walls. The Council and residents have expressed the most concern about two issues: location of the storm water ponds, and noise. Ponds Mn/DOT is no longer interested in Orchard Lane Park as a site for a pond. They continue to pursue two pond options: the North Memorial ambulance facility site, which is the Council's first choice, and a revised south side option. Initial investigations of the North Memorial site suggest that it has fewer environmental problems than was feared, however, North Memorial has been unwilling to consider selling a portion of the property to Mn/DOT. While that option is still alive, Mn/DOT staff has turned their attention to the south side option. You will recall that the south side option would require the acquisition of up to several homes east of Orchard Lane Park. Mn/DOT has recently revised this option to reduce or possibly even eliminate the loss of any homes. The revised option would construct a long, narrow pond in the right of way just east of Orchard Lane Park (see attachment). The noise wall in that area would be relocated south between the pond and the property owners' back yards. The noise wall would • likely be located on what was once excess freeway right of way that was turned back to the City. Some of the adjacent residents purchased the excess right of way between their back yards and the noise wall, and the City still owns some of the excess right of way. Much more design work including groundwater investigation is required to determine if this is a feasible option. Noise The noise study has been completed and the results are included in the Environmental Assessment. One area of new noise wall is suggested in the Brooklyn Center segment of the project, with no modifications other than painting and repairing to the remainder of the wall. The area of new wall would be located on the south side, from east of Xerxes Avenue to the Central Park noise wall. The noise sampling conducted for the Environmental Assessment showed that the sampling sites on both sides of the freeway were slightly higher than the daytime noise standard of 65 dB, ranging from 64.5 dB to 67.6 dB. Nighttime noise levels ranged from 63.4 dB to 67.6 dB. The nighttime standard is 55 dB. It is estimated that long -term noise is expected to increase 0 -2 dB; changes of less than 3 dB are considered inaudible. The new pavement to be installed as a part of this project will use a new type of surface finish that in other locations has resulted in a 1 -2 dB reduction in pavement noise. Other than that, Mn/DOT does not propose to include any noise wall height extensions in Brooklyn Center. • Mn/DOT's maximum wall/berm combination height is 20 feet; the wall in Brooklyn Center is about 18 -19 feet. It is Mn/DOT's policy not to add or change noise wall unless a reduction of at • least 5 dB is achieved. To achieve that reduction, Mn/DOT would have to add ten feet onto the wall, tearing down the existing wall and replacing it with a 30 -foot wall. Mn/DOT is also required not to exceed a maximum expenditure of $3,250 per person per dB reduction. No formal cost estimates have been done, but informal cost estimates indicate that the cost of the 30- foot wall would far exceed that maximum expenditure. Summary Noise is what most Brooklyn Center residents find most objectionable about the freeway. Unfortunately, the noise analysis indicates that it is not possible to make much reduction in the freeway noise given the policy and fiscal constraints Mn/DOT must operate under. More generally, there simply is no technology that will substantially reduce the noise level, especially the nighttime noise level. The noise level has grown because the volume of traffic on the freeway has grown, and the noise level can only be substantially reduced by substantially reducing the volume of traffic. In 1976, the freeway through Brooklyn Center carried 40- 45,000 vehicles per day. In 1998, traffic volume was 111,000- 129,000 vehicles per day. By 2024, traffic is projected to exceed 200,000 vehicles per day. Council Action i The conceptual plan will be brought to the City Council at its February 26, 2001 meeting for approval. We hope to have a Mn/DOT official versed in noise at that meeting to answer Council questions. Prior to that date, we will send to the immediately adjacent neighborhood a summary of this report, notifying the residents of the February 26 decision date. Mn/DOT does not have a specific deadline for a decision, but requests a decision on conceptual design as soon as possible so that consultant design can begin and the project can be kept on track. • 1 \ - I o n -- — 1 u �1 i O coat I ITER cHEv 1 sue 1 1 -s-el. x ° 1 al l x 1 ° y � o n a 1 ICI P 10 , l0T k �# • _.. __ O 4 be O ter ' r I 1 OSS O Bus cD 11 Iw I 512 ' ` �^ O 3 R �' \ C�TL 1 0 1 O 1 .� I � nnun� Q a ec 12 win ap, ,� • �7 O Q q �O �r — --- _ -_ -_- yt` coat ts� _ } Aso ►— _�� — ..�+�' 1 ���'�� ►��'�� — Yom" WTO IMP -_ - -_— ,mono lots ° set __ - __ R UP --- D� _ -_ ��� CSR O ;:C-.

Brooklyn Center, MN January 4, 2001 Scott Pedersen Project Manager MnDOT Metropolitan Division The noise level from the freeway near Brooklyn Boulevard where we have lived for over 40 years is becoming worse. Now the plans for constructing another lane in both directions are going to increase it even more. The sound barrier walls need to be higher and bituminous surfacing instead of concrete. We need relief. Sincerely yours, m & E r January 8, 2001 Scott Pedersen Project Manager MNDOT — Metropolitan Division Re: environmental Assessment Decibel Readings The decibel reading of 66.9 (Table 5.16.3 at Receptor #26, 4500 60 Avenue North) taken on 8/16/00 at 9:15 AM with a S /SE wind at approximately 10 -15 mph does NOT begin to reflect the noise levels we experience on almost a daily basis. Readings conducted by MNDOT in 1998 at 3 locations in this vicinity were 68, 69.5 and 68. (Attached.) Traffic and noise levels have not decreased in the past two years! Furthermore, the daytime reading was taken at a location half way between the existing "noise" wall and the back of the houses adjacent to the freeway (behind, on the north side of the garage) which is not a location one generally spends time while outside, and definitely NOT where the noise level is the highest- adjacent to the back of the houses, on our decks or patios. This reading does not represent the actual noise emanated from this corridor of the freeway and should not be used in determining outcomes/plans. Existing "Noise Wall/Barrier" What is the plan for the existing wall, Section G, which was designed in the 1970s as one of the fast barriers? It served its' purpose at first but with the increase in traffic, currently and projected in the future (Table 3.2.3 at 111,000 in 1998 to 202,950 in 2024- 83% change) this wall has not been effective for the past five years and will not be effective in the future. It needs to be replaced with 2001 technology! Increasing the number of lanes will relieve the congestion experienced now with the bottleneck, however, increasing the number of lanes will add to the noise level as vehicles speed by even with new /reconstructed pavement surface. Detention ponds Brooklyn Center should not lose any more housing. The proposed site on the south side would eliminate at least five homes adjacent to Orchard Lane Park. I support the site on the north side of the freeway using a portion of the North Memorial Maintenance parking lot, which will not disrupt families. MN -DOT's Criteria what is MNDOTs criteria for determining where bituminous and concrete are used for pavement choices? There are many sections in the metro area where the pavement alternates between bituminous and concrete. On I- 94/694, west of 81 there are sections of bituminous which are much quieter than concrete and there is no residential housing located in that section. Studies/Research Are there studies/research demonstrating that new finishing techniques for . concrete are superior to bituminous re: to noise levels? I request you bring these to the Open House on January 18,200 1. Other considerations With the noise levels we experience now where we can not enjoy being outside on our decks or working in our gardens is a major concern to us and is a quality of life issue! The noise is not only in our yards but also permeates into the interior of our homes. Furthermore, the property values will decrease because of the noise emanated from I- 94/694. Patricia Weitzel 4418 6e. Avenue North Brooklyn Center, MN 763 -533 -8384 Michael E. Alex 4519 66 Ave N • Brooklyn Center, MN 55429 Phone 763 -533 -3396 February 06, 2001 Minnesota Dept. of Transportation Dear Sir or Madam, I have lived at my present home on 66th Ave. No. for over twenty years now. When I looked at the house before purchasing it I knew that the freeway was near by but in 1978 when I bought the house except during rush hour from about 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. it the noise coming from the freeway was not that bad in non rash hour periods of the day and on weekends it was just noticeable in the background. But now the noise is almost deafening 24 hours 7 days a week it covers up the sound of birds often and makes it difficult to talk outside in a normal speaking volume and I must keep the windows shut at all times on the north and east side of my house in the summer as even at night now the noise is loud enough to make sleep with a window open difficult and the noise is much louder when the wind blows from out of the north. Over the years sense the early 80's you the D.O.T. have made the noise problem what • it is today first when 194 was constructed and went up through north Minneapolis in 1981 and ran into 694 near the present 252 this increased the traffic and noise on the freeway by a large percent. Next in the mid and late 80's you the D.O.T. built 252 and the 610 bridge and tied it into 694 near the new 252 &694 then you did work on Shingle Creek Parkway and brought in even more traffic going to and coming from the northern metro on 694 in front of my house on 66th Ave. and even more noise and dust all the time 24/7 365 days a year. then you reworked 169 into a freeway to the southwestern suburbs and connected it to 694 in Brooklyn Park bringing still more traffic on to 694 then in the mid 90's came the "Urban Sprawl ° out to Maple Grove and all along the main highways farther west and north such as St. Michael. and still more noise and traffic on 694. The noise from the freeway has increased by several magnitudes over the past 19 years on 694 and I have walked up to the freeway on foot and closely examined the surface of the road and found it to be very worn with the stones in the concrete protude from the road surface like cobble stone as the concrete is worn away the present noise walls are old and much to low and they were poorly designed in the first place and are ineffective. But you the D.O.T haven't resurfaced the freeway sense it was built in 1965 most of it is the original surface and it is rough and hard then a few years ago to top it off you increased the speed limit making it even louder still. You have spent large sums of moneys increasing the volume of traffic by adding entry . points to 694 but never upgraded the road to which it all ties onto not giving any thought the people who must live next to the freeway and how the vast increase r. in road noise which has lowered the "Quality of Life" in the surrounding neighborhood. In other metro locations such as 35E near Forest Lake and Blaine long sections of the freeway have been resurfaced almost every year with blacktop at I assume great . expense why haven't the D.O.T resurfaced 694 in Brooklyn Center 35 years ?? I suggest that to help reduce the road noise you the D.O.T - 1. Resurface the roadway with asphalt from 252 out to Co.Rd. 81 2. Increase the height of the present noise walls from Shingle Creek Pkwy. to Co. Rd. 81 and sink the freeway lower below the surface of the ground at the same time. 3. Reduce the speed limit back to 55mph from the Mississippi river out to Boone Ave. 4.Pay for air - conditioning and sound insulation installation for longtime home owners homes. 5. Plant Tall trees two rows deep or more along in front of noise walls. 6. Do nothing to increase the traffic capacity of the freeway so as not to encourage "Urban Sprawl" so that people will be less willing to move father and father out do to traffic congestion and slowdowns during rush hour. 7. Look into new designs of sound barriers that are more effective than the usual flat wall type you now throw up. • Sincerely, Michael E. Alex • February 1, 2001 Todd Howard City Engineer 6301 Shingle Creek Pkwy. Brooklyn Center, Mn 55430 City of Brooklyn Center /Mn. Dot: My name is Laura Peterson and I reside at 4506 -66 Ave. No. My home is one that will be affected by your proposed Water Detention Pond. I was notified of this proposal by a concerned neighbor who delivered a memo door to door. I find it disconcerting that the City of Brooklyn Center or MNDOT would not notify homeowners directly affected by this proposal personally. The location previously rejected at the North Medical Transportation Facility appears to be a more suitable location. It is an industrial area where eminent domain may not affect the proprietors as displacing or devaluing present homeowners who have lived in a comfortable established neighborhood such as ours. To put a pond in my backyard would create an eyesore, smell, bugs and danger involved with a body of water (assuming I would have a backyard). Homeowners have alot invested in their yards and houses that are not easily replaced. I have made several home improvements recently: new roof, soffett- fascia - gutters, privacy fence. Will I be compensated for this? In closing, I wish to state that I am opposed to this retention pond being constructed upon my property, but if it is deemed necessary then the only conclusion can be 100% eminent domain on the properties and not a partial confiscation. To add "Chucks' Pond" in my backyard would ruin the beauty and capabilities that I currently am allowed to utilize. It is hard for me to attend your CitX Council meetings since I work evenings, however, I will be attending the one on February 12 . Sincerely, G7Y` Laura Peterson Concerned Homeowner • February 1, 2001 Todd Howard City Engineer, City Hall 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 Dear Mr. Howard: We are writing regarding the proposals the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT) regarding the third lane of I- 94/694, which we realize had to be done. We were out of town and was unable to attend the January 18, 2001 hearing and since our return were informed of the planning regarding of the noise walls along 66th Avenue North (only to get a coat of paint). For one thing the noise walls. were ill- constructed as the walls start at approximately 15 feet high in the west by Fair Oaks Elementary and continuing east and diminishing in height to approximately four feet at the Brooklyn Blvd. Exit. Is it no wonder the decibel level of sound is above permissible limits. We live two blocks south at this point of the wall on Winchester Lane. Ever since the noise walls have been put up, we can hardly sit on our patio, which faces south, because of the noise. We also cannot in the summer time open our bedroom windows, which faces the north, due to the noise. When Sunday night comes you can hear traffic and the trucks down shifting going over the bridge at Brooklyn Blvd. I can imagine the noise at night right along 66th Avenue, these home are also a noise barrier, what happens to the sound if these homes are removed, what • happens to the noise then? Also MNDOT is considering building the 100 foot wide and 600 foot long pond along the backyards of the homes on 66th Avenue North between 65th Avenue North between Lee and Noble Avenues. It was stated that the North Medical Transportation Facility (maintenance /garage & parking lot, located on the north side of I- 94/694) would not be a site selected. Why not? If your people looked into this, you will find that this parking lot is hardly used and it would be the best location for the water detention pond instead of putting it in our neighbors backyard and possibly condemning the properties because of water problems and these families having to find new homes. It makes more sense to put it where it was originally planned, rather condemning and moving homes along 66th Avenue. Most of us have bought and lived here for approximately 42 years and when we bought we knew that it was zoned for a freeway, but we never dreamed that something this inconsiderable could happen. We have raised our children here, they attended school and graduated from this school district. We have been very proud of this city and we don't understand how people can come in and tell you this is the way it is. Sincerely, Bruce and Bernice Simcoe 4507 Winchester Lane Minneapolis, MN 55429 • Minnesota Department of Transportation (NINDOT) proposals that will affect YOU! Noise Walls MNDOT is planning to add 7 new noise walls along the freeway corridor between Weaver Lake Road and Shingle Creek Parkway along with the addition of the third lane of I- 94/694. *One of these walls is located south of I -94, between Hemlock Lane and TH169, which currently is vacant and is zoned for commercial use. *Another is a residential section between county Road 81 and Zane Avenue North which is apartment buildings. (Renters generally are not long -term residents.) *A third wall is planned for north of I -94, between Xerxes Avenue and Shingle Creek Parkway and has a commercial use. However, MNDOT is not planning to do anything (except a coat of paint) with the old, ineffective noise wall located north of the property owners on 66 Avenue North! Projected traffic volumes will increase dramatically within the next twenty years. Water Detention Ponds *MNDOT representatives stated that the North Medical Transportation Facility (maintenance /garage & parking lot, located on the north side of I- 94/694) will not be the site selected for the water detention pond in our area as it will impact their parking lot. Instead, MNDOT is considering on building the 100 foot wide and 600 foot long pond • (Chucks' Pond) on the south side of the freeway where the current wall is and extending into the backyards of the homes on 66th Avenue North, on both sides of Lee Avenue. After conducting water level checks to determine if this site would cause water problems in the basements of these homes, they would use "eminent domain" (public need/use) condemn the properties, purchase them and displace homeowners. Express your concerns You still have time to express your concerns to MNDOT and the City of Brooklyn Center. Just write your concerns and take them or send them to Todd Howard, City Engineer, City Hall, 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway, Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 by or before February 8. 2001. The Brooklyn Center City Council will be reviewing the comments at their February 12'' meeting in the Council Chambers of the City Hall. The meetings are open to the public and begin at 7PM. We strongly encourage that you get your comments to Mr. Howard and if at possible, attend the City Council meeting on February 12,2001. Your voice needs to be heard! * "Note: The above information re: the noise walls and water detention ponds was obtained from MNDOTs' " Environmental Assessment" (available to read at City Hall) and at their Open House/Public Hearing on 1/18/01 at the Brooklyn Center Civic Center.

McCauley, City Manager FROM: Todd Howard, City Engineer SUBJECT: Staff Report: Halifax Traffic Survey A public hearing on the Garden City North Neighborhood is scheduled for February 26, 2001. At the first two neighborhood meetings for the project there was considerable interest in eliminating cut through traffic on Halifax Drive. The purpose of this staff report is to provide the Council with background and report results of a survey. Background The issue of cut through traffic on Halifax Drive was studied in 1998 in response to resident concerns about the speed and volume of traffic on Halifax, particularly cut - through traffic from Brooklyn Boulevard bypassing the traffic signal at 63' Avenue. Several options were considered including: closing off Halifax from Brooklyn Boulevard, posting a "No Right Turn" sign on Brooklyn Boulevard, and malting a portion of Halifax Drive into a one way street. The results of the study found that although cut through traffic was annoying to some residents, overall it was low volume and there was not a compelling traffic safety reason to make a physical change to Halifax Drive. A survey of affected residents was made and did not identify a consensus among property owners as to what, if anything should be done to Halifax Drive. Survey Results Based on feedback from residents neighborhood meetings held in November and January, a new survey was distributed to residents on Halifax Drive. The new survey included two options. One option was to do nothing and leave traffic flow as it does today. A second option is to construct a "right -out only" onto Brooklyn Boulevard from Halifax Drive (see attached sketch). With this option it will not be possible for anyone to turn right from Brooklyn Boulevard onto Halifax Drive. Survey results are summarized below. 5 Would prefer to do nothing and leave the connection to Brooklyn Boulevard as it is today. 14 Would prefer to have a "right -out only" as shown on the attached sketch. In addition one respondent preferred neither and one preferred either option. Copies of the surveys and comments are attached. Council Action No council action is requested at this time. Staff will be seeking the Council direction on the Halifax Drive issue at the conclusion of the public hearing scheduled for February 26u`.

The condo owners indicated that snowmobiles were using Highway 100 right -of -way, their property and the park property to gain access to the Twin Lakes. The owners stated that • snowmobiles were using the areas at all times of the day and night, sometimes until micbiight or later. The group reported that this problem has been going on for some time and that they haze contacted both the Brooklyn Center Police Department and the Hennepin County Sheriff requesting assistance. To assist them in reducing the number of snowmobilers using the above noted areas, the condo owners requested that signs be posted in the park indicating that snowmobiles are not allowed. After some discussion, the Commission unanimously passed a motion recommending the City Council direct staff to post signs in Twin Lake Park indicating that snowmobiling on park: property was prohibited. In addition, the recommendation encourages the City Council to seek the assistance of the Robbinsdale City Council and/or staff in educating area snowmobilers as to the snowmobile restrictions in Brooklyn Center.

Hennepin County Sheriffs deputies patrolled on Twin Lake nine times during November, December and January. The length of patrol time varies from one half hour to two hours. The Hennepin County Sheriffs Office has been very cooperative in providing snowmobile patrol and has been made aware of the concerns of citizens of the community. The police department will respond to complaints of illegal snowmobiling, however, our ability to enforce snowmobile laws is limited to attempting to identify the driver and machine from a distance. The police department does not provide snowmobile patrol due to the expense of the snowmobile and associated equipment, the training required, and the inability to develop proficiency in snowmobile operations due to officers being occasional snowmobile operators.
