7d. PROJECTED USE OF FUNDS FOR 1999 URBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
1. RESOLUTION APPROVING PROJECTED USE OF FUNDS FOR
1999 URBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM AND AUTHORIZING SIGNATURE OF
SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENT WITH HENNEPIN COUNTY AND
ANY THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS
Mr. McCauley outlined the proposed resolution for the City Council's consideration. The
recommendation being made to the City Council was that the 1999 Community Development
Block Grant Budget allocate monies for the home program serving senior citizens as previously
funded in past years and that the remaining amount of monies be used for reimbursement on the
53rd Avenue project. The recommendation would differ from the 1998 budget in that the
rehabilitation program would be omitted. In a memorandum prepared by Community
Development Specialist Tom Bublitz, Mr. Bublitz outlined a number of housing rehabilitation
programs that can be accessed through a number of agencies. The Greater Minneapolis
Metropolitan Housing Corporation has received grant funds totaling approximately $170,000 that
could be used to further reduce the cost of rehabilitation loans under the various programs. The
Greater Minneapolis Metropolitan Housing Corporation is working with the cities of Brooklyn
Center, New Hope, Crystal, and Robbinsdale. This joint effort is resulting in the ability to
leverage and access a number of programs. Substantially more money is available through this
to assist in home rehabilitation than has been available through the use of Community
Development Grant Funds. Another part of the budget would take the program income from the
sale of the site used for the new police station and use that in connection with the reimbursement
for the 53rd Avenue project.
Councilmember Lasman inquired how people on the waiting list would be notified of the
potential resources available through the Greater Minneapolis Metropolitan Housing Corporation
and the decision to discontinue the program. Mr. McCauley responded that if the Council
adopted the proposed budget, a letter would be sent to persons on the waiting list providing them
with information on how to contact the Greater Minneapolis Metropolitan Housing Corporation
at the Northwest Housing Resources Center so that they could receive information and assistance
from the Housing Resource Center on accessing the numerous loan programs available for
housing rehabilitation.
A motion by Councilmember Lasman, seconded by Councilmember Peppe to open the Public
Hearing. Motion passed unanimously.
No one wished to address the Council.

Hearing. Motion passed unanimously.
RESOLUTION NO. 99 -36

RESOLUTION APPROVING PROJECTED USE OF FUNDS FOR 1999 URBAN HENNEPIN
COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM AND AUTHORIZING
SIGNATURE OF SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENT WITH HENNEPIN COUNTY AND ANY
THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Councilmember
Peppe. Motion passed unanimously.
8. PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS
8a. PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 99001 SUBMITTED BY
TALISMAN BROOKDALE, LLC. REQUEST FOR REZONING AND SITE
AND BUILDING PLAN APPROVAL THROUGH THE PLANNED UNIT
DEVELOPMENT (PUD) PROCESS FOR THE EXPANSION,
REDEVELOPMENT, AND REJUVENATION OF THE BROOKDALE
REGIONAL SHOPPING CENTER. THE PLANNING COMMISSION
RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THIS APPLICATION AT ITS
FEBRUARY 25,1999, MEETING.
1. RESOLUTION REGARDING DISPOSITION OF PLANNING
COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 99001 SUBMITTED BY
TALISMAN BROOKDALE, LLC.
2. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 35 OF THE CITY
ORDINANCES REGARDING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF
CERTAIN LAND ( BROOKDALE)
Planning and Zoning Specialist Ron Warren discussed Planning Commission Application No.
99001 submitted by Talisman Brookdale, LLC requesting rezoning and site and building plan
approval through the Planned Unit Development (PUD) process for the expansion,
redevelopment, and rejuvenation of the Brookdale Shopping Center.
Mr. Warren discussed 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:
03/08/99 -7-
II
• Allow 5 ft. rather than 15 ft. greenstrips at certain locations where an
appropriate 3 to 3 1 /2 ft. high decorative masonry wall shall be installed to
offset negative effects (this standard has been allowed in other areas within the
city).
• 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. Allow 5 ft. rather than 15 ft. greenstrips at certain locations where an
appropriate 3 to 3 1 /2 ft. high decorative masonry wall shall be installed to
offset negative effects (this standard has been allowed in other areas within the
city).
Council discussed the two freestanding signs. Mr. Warren stated they were within the
standards and pointed out the location of the two freestanding signs. Councilmember Peppe
suggested discussing the sign ordinance. Mayor Kragness suggested discussion at a future
work session.

A motion by Councilmember Lasman, seconded by Councilmember Peppe to set 6:00 p.m. before
each regular City Council session as study session. Motion passed unanimously.
9e. NOTE: THIS ITEM WAS MOVED TO ITEM NO. 7D UNDER PUBLIC
HEARINGS.
9f. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING TRANSFER OF $4,357.16 TO EARLE
BROWN HERITAGE CENTER
Mr. McCauley advised the Council approve a transfer of $4,357.16 from the General Fund to the
Earle Brown Heritage Center. The Earle Brown Heritage Center changed caterers in 1999 and
both caterers were required to have liquor licenses during 1999, however the City does not
provide a refund on licenses. The Heritage Center will pay a full license fee of $5,200 for 1999

license fees which would leave the City with a full 1999 license fee for the Heritage Center.

03/08/99 -12-
i
8g. RESOLUTION SUPPORTING VARIOUS LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS
AFFECTING CITIES
Mr. McCauley advised that this resolution be adopted that requests the City's local legislative
delegation to consider supporting legislative initiatives currently pending before the State
Legislature that would:
1. Repeal the sales tax on local government. This sales tax unnecessarily increases
the cost of local government.
2. Support House File 45 to allow for administrative penalties and streamline
ordinance enforcement procedures.
3. Support Year 2000 (Y2k) bills that address issues of immunity and mutual aid.
4. Support House File 220 that would dis r e tax penalties and interest
pp p ro p erty rty pe t
in proportion to the delinquent taxes that are being paid. Currently while cities
do not receive unpaid taxes in proportion to their percent of the total tax bill,
only counties and school districts receive the interest and penalties levied upon
the repayment of delinquent taxes. It is unfair for cities to receive only the
nominal amount of unpaid taxes several years late, while assessing penalties and
interest on the entire delinquent amount and distributing those penalties only to
school districts and counties.
5. Support Senate File 161 to remove the 30 years service cap on volunteer fire
fighters. The 30 year cap on volunteer fire fighters relief contributions sets an
artificial limitation on participation in relief associations.
RESOLUTION NO. 99 -39
Councilmember Peppe introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING VARIOUS LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS AFFECTING CITIES
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Councilmember
Lasman. Motion passed unanimously.
9. ADJOURNMENT
A motion by Councilmember Peppe, seconded by Councilmember Lasman to adjourn the meeting
at 8:19 p.m. Motion passed unanimously.
