HomeMy WebLinkAbout1994 11-14 CCM Regular Session MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA REGULAR SESSION NOVEMBER 14, 1994 CITY HALL CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center City Council met in regular session and was called to order by Mayor Todd Paulson at 7:03 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor Todd Paulson, Councilmembers Celia Scott, Dave Rosene, and Kristen Mann. Also present were Assistant City Manager Nancy Gohman, Director of Public Services Diane Spector, Planning and Zoning Specialist Ron Warren, City Attorney Charlie LeFevere, and Council Secretary Barb Collman. Councilmember Barb Kalligher was excused from tonight's meeting. OPENING CEREMONIES Boy Scout Troop 401 performed a flag ceremony. Dean Nyquist offered the invocation. OPEN FORUM Debra Hilstrom, 3509 66th Avenue North, is a Councilmember- elect. She asked the Council to consider finalizing decisions on two issues before the end of the present Council's term. The Humboldt Avenue issue would be better resolved by the present Council since a new Council would need time to study and be brought up to date on the status, which would be a disservice to the concerned residents. The process of reviewing the performance of the City Manager should be completed by the present Council, which is able to judge the City Manager's performance on the whole. Terry Precht, 7101 Fremont Avenue North, is a member of the Humboldt Avenue task force. He spoke regarding the traffic on Dupont and Newton Avenues. There is concern because now traffic is by passing to other streets, resulting in heavier, faster traffic on those streets. He felt the stop signs, which he voted for as a representative of the residents, are a hazard and have not reduced the speed of traffic. He noted the streets are for public use and people do what they want to do. He noted the City Council represents the entire community, not just a vocal group of Humboldt Avenue residents. The public will not speak 11/14/94 - 1 - up about the situation until there is a bad accident. A "quick fix" is not the answer. Rather, the Council should pass a plan for the city to save money for reconstruction in the future. Councilmember Rosene inquired whether it is allowed procedure to "save up" for a specific project. The Director of Public Services said using State Aid allows the City to keep a balance to a certain maximum, after which no more State Aid is allotted. She felt Mr. Precht had been referring to the City waiting until the bonds for the 69th Avenue project were paid off, which would free up funds for another project. COUNCIL REPORTS The Assistant City Manager noted an element of tonight's meeting is the trial of the call -in feature for cable broadcast viewers. Councilmember Rosene commented another trial of the call -in line might be in order since tonight's agenda is rather short. Mayor Paulson stated the City's Heritage Festival had been a successful family activity. He noted the festival gets 'bigger and better" each year. Councilmember Rosene inquired about a resolution commending those who worked on the Heritage Festival. The Assistant City Manager said a resolution would be drafted. APPROVAL OF AGENDA AND CONSENT AGENDA Mayor Paulson inquired if any Councilmember requested any items be removed from the consent agenda. No requests were made. There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Mann to approve the November 14, 1994, agenda and consent agenda as printed. The motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Scott suggested the consent agenda items might be read aloud for the purpose of informing those viewing the meeting on cable broadcast. Mayor Paulson agreed and read the items.

PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 94009 The Assistant City Manager presented Planning Commission Application No. 94009 submitted by Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Master. Request for rezoning and 11/14/94 -6- development plan approval for a Planned Unit Development involving the Church located at 1200 69th Avenue North and three apartment buildings located to the east at 1100 69th Avenue North, 1107 Emerson Land and 6907 Dupont Avenue North. This application was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission at its October 27, 1994 meeting. The Planning and Zoning Specialist explained the zoning districts and uses involved in the consideration. Currently, the church building is designated R1 and the apartment buildings are designated R4. The rezoning would be to PUD/R1 for all of the properties. The buildings are being purchased on a contract for deed basis and significant structural changes will not be made until the contract for deed is satisfied. However, some modifications are allowed to make the buildings more accessible for public use. The building official has stated smoke detectors are needed in each unit and in the hallways, and additional exits may be necessary. The three phases of development were outlined. Phase I, the immediate change, would involve using the closest apartment building for religious education each Sundays and one week night each week. The second and third apartment buildings would continue to be used as apartments during this phase. Phase II would include the use of the second apartment building for small and large group activities. This phase would not be implemented until approximately 1996. Phase III plans would involve using the third building for a missions office and counselling center, as well as retaining two apartment units for use as short -term living units by missionaries. This phase would be implemented in approximately 1997. The Planning and Zoning Specialist recommended that platting be done all at one time. This would be done after the purchase of the property is completed and would also require review by the watershed district. The church has not yet developed the required final site and building plan and landscaping plan. These plans will be prepared prior to implementing Phase II in 1995. The application was recommended by the Planning Commission in light of the considerations and conditions contained in Planning Commission Resolution Number 94 -1 which he reviewed for the City Council. The Planning and Zoning Specialist stated notices had been sent out and representatives of the church were present for questioning. Councilmember Rosene asked when watershed issues would be addressed. The Planning and Zoning Specialist answered they would be addressed prior to Phase II. Councilmember Rosene asked whether there is any preliminary idea of expected watershed requirements and the effort necessary to meet them. The Planning and Zoning Specialist said the requirements could be reviewed. The church should get recommendations from an engineer. He mentioned ponding and water storage as possible requirements. He added 11/14/94 -7- the oal is a campus-like atmosphere. Some parking may be eliminated, landscaping will g P P P g Y most likely be added, and there will probably be less storage. Councilmember Rosene indicated the church should be considering the whole picture in terms of requirements for the development. He added more pavement has a negative impact on the watershed requirements. Councilmember Mann commented the plan outlines a good use of the buildings. She felt the Planning Commission had prepared the proposal well. Mayor Paulson said he likes the phasing element of the plan. The church is active and is a benefit to the community. The plan fits in well in the community and provides opportunities which dovetail with other community activities. The Assistant City Manager presented a Resolution Regarding Disposition of Planning Commission Application No. 94009 submitted by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Master. RESOLUTION NO. 94 -244 Member Kristen Mann introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION REGARDING DISPOSITION OF PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 94009 SUBMITTED BY THE E`1ANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH OF THE MASTER The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Celia Scott, and the motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Scott asked whether a date had been set for a public hearing on the ordinance amendment. The Planning and Zoning Specialist said he was not sure but the date would be set when the item is published. The Assistant City Manager presented An Ordinance Amending Chapter 35 of the City Ordinances Regarding the Zoning Classification of Certain Land. There was a motion by Councilmember Rosene and seconded by Councilmember Mann to approve first reading of An Ordinance Amending Chapter 35 of the City Ordinances Regarding the Zoning Classification of Certain Land. The motion passed unanimously. PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 94013 The Assistant City Manager presented Planning Commission Application No. 94013 submitted by Irene A. Klammer, Request for preliminary approval for Mammer Addition to subdivide into two lots an approximate 35,150 square foot lot located at 1521 73rd Avenue North. This application for preliminary plat approval was recommended for 11/14/94 -8 - approval by the Planning Commission at its October 27, 1994, meeting. She also pointed out that the applicant was seeking final plat approval at the same time. The Planning and Zoning Specialist described the planned Klammer Addition. The northerly lot contains a single - family home and accessory building. The southerly lot would have a single - family home and accessory building developed. The minimum requirements of zoning are exceeded in this situation. The proposed utility easements will meet the subdivision regulations. The Planning and Zoning Specialist stated the Planning Commission had recommended the application subject to the following three conditions which be reviewed for the City Council. The Planning and Zoning Specialist noted both Preliminary Plat Approval and Final Plat Approval are being sought concurrently. Items needed before final plat approval are title opinion and legal work, and county approval. The Director of Public Services commented it is unusual for preliminary approval and final approval to be made concurrently; however, in this case, the requirements are simple and straightforward. Councilmember Rosene questioned whether the approval is granted by motion rather than resolution. The Director of Public Services said a motion is in order. Councilmember Mann asked whether it is appropriate to give final approval subject to the conditions. The Director of Public Services said it is appropriate and the City staff will make sure all conditions are satisfied for release of the final plat. Councilmember Scott asked who will sign -off on the condition requiring the City Engineer since there is no one in that position at the current time. The Director of Public Services said the requirement can be reviewed by anyone with engineering knowledge and background. Councilmember Scott commented she would not want to see the plat approval held up for lack of a City Engineer. She inquired about the status of the search for applicants for the position. The Assistant City Manager said a decision has been made to postpone the search for a City Engineer until after the holiday season. There was a motion by .Councilmember Rosene and seconded by Councilmember Mann to approve Planning Commission application No. 94013 subject to the following conditions: 1. The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. 11/14/94 -9- 2. The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City Ordinances. 3. Woodbine Lane is to be dedicated on the final plat as a 30 foot right -of -way. The motion passed unanimously. There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Mann to give Final Plat Approval of the Klammer Addition subject to satisfaction of the listed conditions. The motion passed unanimously. DISCUSSION ITEMS REPORT ON ADOPT -A -PARK/ TRAIL /STREET PROGRAM The Assistant City Manager presented a Resolution Expressing Recognition and Appreciation for the Public Service of Organizations Participating in Brooklyn Center's Adopt -A -Park, Adopt -A- Trail, and Adopt -A- Street Programs. The Assistant City Manager noted this program is in its third year and 37 groups have participated. She expressed the City's thanks to the Director of Public Services and other involved Staff, with special recognition to Joyce Gulseth for her organization efforts. The Director of Public Services stated the program is growing, which is an indication of community support. She said volunteers have expressed an interest in doing much more than picking up litter and are becoming involved in areas such as planting and maintenance. She said she wished to commend Joyce Gulseth and also recognize and thank Tom Bublitz, Bob Cahlander, Ole Nelson, Sharon Schmidt and Arnie Mavis. She mentioned the possibility of a kick -off activity for the program in the spring. She also noted some groups have begun to adopt streets and major trail systems. Mayor Paulson also thanked the program volunteers and staff for the great job they have done. He said such a human resource indicates promise for the future of the program. He also noted certificates of recognition have been sent to those involved. Councilmember Scott expressed concern over a seasonal problem which occurs in the fall. She said trash is often dumped on the borders of the river and she has discovered it is dumped by non - residents of Brooklyn Center. She asked the cooperation of citizens walking along the river who see illegal dumping occur. They should take down the vehicle license plate number and notify the police department. The park volunteers should not have to feel their work is in vain. The Director of Public Services agreed with Councilmember Scott and added there is a cost to the City in labor to remove the illegally dumped materials. She said the City Staff would appreciate assistance from the residents in deterring dumping. 11/14/94 _10- r RESOLUTION NO. 94 -245 Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION EXPRESSING RECOGNITION AND APPRECIATION FOR THE PUBLIC SERVICE OF ORGANIZATIONS PARTICIPATING IN BROOKLYN CENTER'S ADOPT -A -PARK, ADOPT -A- TRAIL, AND ADOPT -A- STREET PROGRAMS The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Dave Rosene, and the motion passed unanimously. RESOLUTIONS - CONTINUED The Assistant City Manager noted oil contamination was found during the Central Garage renovation project. The Assistant City Manager presented a Resolution Amending Improvement Project No. 1993 -19, Central Garage Improvements, to Remediate Oil Tank Soil Contamination. The Director of Public Services said there will be a cost to the City for the remediation of " the problem. She explained the Central Garage was constructed in the mid - seventies. Evidently, at the time of construction a vent pipe was connected improperly, resulting in an overflow soaking into the soil. The contaminated soil has now been removed and standard procedures are being followed. She also stated the worst scenario is oil may have entered the ground water. In that case, it would be necessary to install test wells and there would be a monitoring expense. Testing is currently being done. The Director of Public Services said some costs of the remediation are eligible for 90 percent reimbursement from MPCA. The final cost may be around $22,000, depending on E how many costs are eligible for reimbursement. Mayor Paulson asked whether Staff is satisfied the source of the leak has been found. The Director of Public Services said Staff is very confident of the source based on the location of the oil found. Councilmember Rosene inquired about the status of the Central Garage construction. The Director of Public Services said construction is moving slowly. The contractor is presently two weeks behind the desired plan. The footings for the new addition have been poured and walls are going up. The structure needs to be closed in for winter and the completion of the inside work. She believes Phase I will be completed in January and the remodeling and HVAC work will be completed by mid - spring 1995, as planned. RESOLUTION NO. 94 -246 Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: 11/14/94 RESOLUTION AMENDING IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1993 -19, CENTRAL GARAGE IMPROVEMENTS, TO REMEDIATE OIL TANK SOIL CONTAMINATION The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Dave Rosene, and the motion passed unanimously. DISCUSSION Mayor Paulson asked for an update concerning the calls received on the trial call -in line during tonight's meeting. There was a general discussion concerning the call -in trial while the transcription of comments was obtained. Councilmember Rosene said he was glad the call -in idea had been attempted. F Regarding earlier business, Councilmember Rosene asked whether it would be possible for f the parks to have call -in boxes like those along highways so citizens could call to report dumping. Councilmember Scott noted the call -in boxes are very expensive. Councilmember Mann stated the Park and Recreation Commission is considering instituting a "Park Watch program encouraging call -in tips. The Assistant City Manager distributed copies of the comments received on the call -in line during the meeting. Mayor Paulson thanked residents for watching and calling in. He declared the effort a success for tonight. The Assistant City Manager noted the call -in lines were now closed. She suggested the comments might be read aloud for the viewers. Mayor Paulson read the comments received on the call -in line tonight. They were as follows: 1. "What's the status of the performance evaluation for Gerald Splinter? When can we read this, or when will it be available to the public ?" 2. (General question about what the call -in line is for by someone who tuned in late). 3. (Someone called in to see if the line was working. Said he'd call back later). 4. One viewer responded to open forum regarding Humboldt Avenue. "Only solution to Humboldt Avenue is to buy the houses on one side of the block and widen the road like they did on 69th." 11/14/94 -12- i 5. Re Humboldt Avenue: "The City Council should buy out the citizens between 69th and 73rd and widen the road." Also is very concerned about the COPS program and the lack of support by the police department. Used to have foot patrol, too. Viewer lives in the area, moved in because of the positive changes he saw happening in the neighborhood. Sees the neighborhood going back to the way it used to be. 6. Concerned about the COPS program and the lack of attention the Council is paying to this important program. 7. Lack of commitment to the COPS program. Best thing the City has done in a preventative way. Police are doing a good job. Don't abandon this program! 8. Disappointed in the lack of support by the police department for the COPS program. 9. Council failed to realize that new garage could have been built for what they're paying for remodeling. Why does City need a paint room? Mayor Paulson said these were good comments and questions. Councilmember Rosene clarified that usually all comments would not be read aloud. Councilmember Rosene addressed Question No. 1 and stated the performance evaluation would be confidential and not available to the public. He also said the caller of Question No. 9 should call back for more discussion. Councilmember Rosene asked whether the Council is satisfied with this trial or would like to schedule more call -in trials. Councilmember Mann noted only one trial had been approved by the Council. Mayor Paulson said he would like to have at least one more trial to see if the set -up works and is worthwhile. Councilmember Mann said she could not support additional trials of the call -in line when the callers are anonymous. There needs to be verification of who is calling since there could be an issue which would merit being put on the agenda. Mayor Paulson suggested making it the caller's decision whether or not to identify himself/herself. Requiring identification might deter a citizen from calling. It is up to the Councilmembers to give credibility to anonymous calls. 11/14/94 - 13- Councilmember Scott asked how the call -in phones would be manned. The Assistant City Manager said part -time staff is paid straight time to answer the phones and note comments. Councilmember Scott felt there should not be a call -in for the entire time of a lengthy agenda. Maybe the call -in line could end at 11 p.m. Mayor Paulson said that issue could be flexible. Mayor Paulson said the questions and comments will not always be read aloud. It will be up to the Mayor and Councilmembers to take action on comments and questions as desired. The Assistant City Manager mentioned if Council wished to have another trial of the call -in line on November 28, there could be a limit set of 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Staff manning the phones could ask callers for identification. Councilmember Rosene said he would prefer callers not be constrained to a certain time slot. He agreed it would be good to get identification but he also agreed with Mayor Paulson that input is good regardless of whether the caller is identified. He agreed with the Assistant City Manager that identification be requested. There was a motion by Councilmember Rosene the call -in line be given another trial in which callers are asked to identify themselves but comments are accepted regardless of whether or not names are given. Mayor Paulson asked whether the line would be open until 10 p.m. Councilmember Rosene was satisfied with 9:30 p.m. or 9 p.m. Councilmember Scott agreed with another trial but emphasized identification of callers is important so Councilmembers can return their calls. She felt the system should be refined and suggested discussing it at the next Council work session. Mayor Paulson noted that, out of nine calls, two were questions. He agreed with the suggestion to discuss the issue further at the next work session. Councilmember Rosene agreed the issue could be discussed at work session. He then withdrew the earlier motion. k k Mayor Paulson instructed the issue of the call -in line be added to the work session agenda f' and the next City Council agenda. 11/14/94 -14- ADJOURNMENT There was a motion by Councilmember Rosene and seconded by Councilmember Mann to adjourn the meeting.
