CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM
The City Manager reviewed the proposed 1994 Capital Improvements Program and stated
the purpase of this capital improvements program is to have it considered at the same time
the City Council considers the general fund budget so the Council can have an appreciation
for the impacts and the relationships between the operating budgets and the capital budgets,
He stated there is no action required by the Council at this meeting and introduced the
Director of Finance to review the accounting statements for the Council.

The Director of Finance then presented statements showing Adequate General Fund
Balance Policy Formula Amount Needed for Working Capital for 1991, 1992, and 1993 and
a Summary for 1991, 1992, and 1993. The City starts out the year with a substantial amount
of cash due to its fund balance. Payments go out for expenditures on a fairly even rate
throughout the year, Revenues, however, come in large part from just two sources, property
taxes and state aid. These are paid to the City in two equal payments, the first received in
June /July and the second in December. As a result, the City pays out money for the first
five months of the year, with little coming in, then receive revenues that bring its cash almost
up to where it was on January 1, then pays out money again until December when the
second half revenues restore the cash balance. This pattern creates two valleys in the cash
flow, first in May, and then a second and usually deeper valley in Novcmber. In 1991, the
November valley equalled 29 % the 1991 budget. In 1992, the November valley equalled
30% of budget. For 1993, the May valley equals 31% of this year's budget and we estimate
the November valley will equal 33% of the budget. For 1994, the valleys are likely to be
even deeper since our reliance on the property tax and state aids for revenues is increasing.

2- 0
Councilmember Kalligher asked whether the staff anticipated the valley would ever use up
the 40% allowance for working capital in the fund balance formula. The City Manager
responded probably not and the fund gap will be at approximately 31% this year. The
Director of Finance stated if the City did not have a fund balance, the City would have to
borrow money to pay its operating expenses until the property tax revenue came in.
Councilmember Kalligher asked staffs opinion as to whether the City would be alright this
year with the amount they have. The City Manager responded the City is well within the
range deemed appropriate by the Auditors.
Councilmember Rosene questioned whether the general fund balance can be considered a
savings account. The City Manager responded it is not extra money and is needed to pay
operating expenses for the City until the property tax revenue and state aid is received.
Councilmember Rosene suggested the City seek legislative help in getting the state aid
funding sooner. The Director of Finance replied the State of Minnesota solved one of its
budget problems a few years ago by delaying payment to the cities until the second half of
the year.
The City Manager stated on January 1 of each year the City should have a fund balance
available. The fund balance needs to have an amount that will cover the deepest valley that
could happen,
Mayor Paulson asked staff what type of return the City was receiving on their money. Staff
responded currently the City is receiving between 53 and 5,8% and next year the average
will be around 5.4 %. Mayor Paulson asked if that was received on all the City's revenues.
The Director of Finance responded they try to keep the checking account balance as small
as possible and transfer money to the checking account only when it is needed for
disbursements. The City Manager reported the City has one disbursement fund {checking
account). Money is transferred from various funds when payments by check are necessary.
The City Manager stated Cliff Hoffman had suggested money be moved from the general
fund to the ccnrrai garage service fund in the amount of 5750,000, however City
Administration has decided not to do this due to the fact the cushion would be removed
There is concern on the part of City staff if large amounts of money are seen to be
remaining in funds by the State that State Aid may be decreased.
Mayor Paulson asked if other funds could be set up to transfer some money into. The City
Manager responded the safest place for money is spent. Councilmember Rosene asked how
Phil and Bill feel about this. The City Manager replied the issue has been explained to them
but he does not know for sure if they understand,
Councilmember Scott stated there is a history of the State hitting those cities that are able
to keep some money on hand,
10/4/93 -3-
The Director of Public Works introduced Public Works Coordinator Diane Spector who
gave a more detailed presentation of the 1994 Capital Improvements Program (CIP). 0
The Public Works Coordinator stated a capital improvement is defined as any major non-
recurring expenditure or any expenditure for physical facilities of government, Typical
expenditures are the cost of land acquisition or interest in land, construction of buildings or
other structures; construction of roads, utilities, or parks; and acquisition of vehicles and
data processing and other equipment. Aside from vehicles and equipment, capital
improvements are typically funded from revenue sources other than the general fund.
Maintenance of these improvements is primarily funded by the general fund. The CIP is
directly linked to the goals and policies, land use and community facility sections of the
Comprehensive Plan, since these sections indicate general policies of development,
redevelopment, and the maintenance of the community. The primary objective of the CIP
is to integrate the specific goals, policies, and recommendations contained in the City's plan
with its capability to pay for and maintain capital improvements.
The Public Works Coordinator reviewed the various sections of the CIP as follows:
PUBLIC WORK
1. 51rcet Improvement and Maintena ce Programs
The City's programs relating to streets under its jurisdiction include the fUllvwirig;
- An annual high -level maintenance program which includes the sealcoating of alo
City streets on an 8 -year (average) cycle.
- The Municipal State Aid Street program, to which the State of Minnesota
provides annual funding ($842,110 in 1993 to MSA Account #1496) to maintain
and improve the 21.3 miles of collector strccts which are designated as MSA
streets.
Review and possible construction of traffic signal systems at intersections with
growing traffic volumes.
- Several landscaping projects to enhance the appearance of the City.
- Rehabilitation and reconstruction of non -MSA streets upon receipt of petitions
for such improvements. The established policy provides that one -third (1/3) of
the costs for such improvements will be levied as special assessments, while two -
thirds (2/3) of those costs will be paid by City funds.
1014/93 -4-
2. i
Sidewai_ n'ra I Improv_ements
The City has established and constructed a comprehensive sidewalk system which
serves all major activity areas and corridors of pedestrian traffic. Only a few segments
of this system remain to be completed.
Funding for sidewalk and trail improvements is provided by two accounts within the
Municipal State Aid Construction fund;
a. MSA Local Account #2900 - the source of funds for this account consists only
of investment interest earnings which have not been ap propriated ro riated to construction
pr oj ects or other costs
b. MSA Local Account #2911 - The source of funds for this account consists of
surpluses from projects which have had more than 1007o of the project cost
recovered due to duplicate charges to the regular MSA fund (Account #1496)
and special assessments.
Activities included in the CIP for future consideration include:
- Construction of several trail segments, with emphasis given to segments 8m � p g g which
connect major trail systems.
- Some high priority sidewalk segments.
- Consideration of the Twin Lake Trail system and trail head improvements is
shown under Parks and Recreation.
Councilmember Scott questioned the NSP Easement Trail, Knox to Dupont suggested
improvement in the amount of $50,000. Staff responded this would include blacktopping
and also landscaping,
3. yy _ater Uti Uty
Proposed activities relating to tho public water supply / distnbution system include the
following:
A routine well inspection and maintenance program to assure the continued
functioning of the e;asting wells.
• Painting of the water towers.
Installation of various O &M features to improve the operability of the system.
10/4/93 _5 _
Consideration of construction of two new supply facilities (one storage reservoir
and one additional well) to assure the system's ability to provided neede
capacity during peak demand periods and for fire protection, 0
Consideration of construction of a tie -in with Brooklyn Park's water system, to
help meet demand during emergencies (e,g, a major fire, a disaster, the
breakdown of one or more wells).
Installation of various water distr system improvements to assure the
system's ability to deliver needed capacities to all portions of the City during
peak demand periods and for fire protection.
Mayor Paulson questioned whether any water quality improvements were included in the
GIP. The City Manager responded the Council a few years ago decided the cost of a
treatment plant for the City was not worth the expense. The Director of Public Works
added the cost of water to residents would more than double with a treatment facility and
the City found that the residents are basically satisfied with the quality of their water,
4. Sanitary Sewer Utility
Proposed activities relating to the sanitary sewer collection system include the
following,
- A routine sewer and lift station inspection and maintenance program.
- Replacement of the existing lift station monitoring system, to improve its
reliability.
- Installation of new sewers as needed to serve new developments or
redevelopment areas.
- Replacement of several segments of sewer which have been identified as needing
replacement by the television inspection program,
- Replacement of one major lift station and associated force main, to insure its
reliability.
- Replacement of a trunk line sewer main originally constructed from corrugated
metal pipe (C;MV).
All costs for sanitary sewer system O &M and improvements are financed through
sewer use charges, capital improvement bonds, connection charges, and lateral
assessments, Sewer use charges and connection charges are adjusted annually based
on a comprehensive rate study analysis which reviews operation, maintenance,
10/4/93 -6- 0
depreciation, and construction costs, as well as sewage treatment charges from the
Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (which provides wastewater treatment for
the entire Twin City metro area).
5. Storm Drainage Utilily
Proposed activities relating to the storm drainage system include the following:
- Operational activities include storm drainage system maintenance and a street
sweeping program.
- Management activities include participation in two Watershed Management
Commissions. These activities include the development of a local storm water
management plan as required by the Minnesota Surface Water Management Act,
and the development of a public education program relating to surface water
management,
- Major improvements to be considered in the period 1994 -95 include construction
of "Gateway" storm drainage pond and park in the southwest quadrant of the I-
94 and Brooklyn Boulevard interchange; and a joint project with the City of
Minneapolis to construct a drainage pond to serve the Brookdale commercial
area and some residential areas.
- Storm drainage improvements proposed to be completed in conjunction with
street improvement projects include the Northwest neighborhood (west of
Brooklyn Boulevard and north of I -94); 57th Avenue from Logan to Lyndale;
and 53rd Avenue west of Brooklyn Boulevard.
All costs for storm drainage system O &M and improvements are financed through the
storm drainage utility (SDTJ) user fee system which was adopted in 1991, capital
improvement bonds and special assessments. SDU use charges will be adjusted
annually based on a comprehcnsive rate study analysis which reviews all costs relating
to the storm drainage system.
PARKS AND RECREATION
Park and Recreation facilities were comprehensively reviewed in 1993. While continuing the
current level of operation and maintenance of the park and recreation system/program, the
Capital Improvements Program anticipates the following expenditures:
- Replacement of playground equipment in most of the City's neighborhood parks over
the next three years.
- Acquisition of new park land.
10/4/93 -7-
Development of the Twin Lake/Preserve/Kylawn nature area and Twin Lakes Trail
system, in cooperation with the cities of Crystal and Robbinsdale. 0
Comprehensive review of shelter building needs and repair or replacement of most
shelter buildings over the next five years.
Construction of a new park/open space area (currently referred to as "Gateway Park ")
in the southwest quadrant of the 1-94/Brooklyn Boulevard interchange. This park is
in conjunction with the storm drainage pond to be constructed in 1994.
A major study of the Shingle Creek corridor, from the south City limits, through the
golf course, Central Park, and Palmer Lake to the north City limits. The study would
encompass recreational opportunities, water quality issues, and condition of existing
facilities,
- Consideration of major new facilities, including a hockey arena or a golf dome. These
items would only be considered by referendum.
Some items are proposed for funding from the Capital Improvements Fund. Other major
capital improvements are proposed to be funded with general obligation bonds authorized
b referendum a p p roval.
Y pp
A listing by park location was provided to the Council with the proposed improvements
shown for each park. Mayor Paulson asked if improvements can be moved from one ye
to the next. The City Manager responded yes these are rough estimates and will comc"�
before the Council again for final approval, C;ouncilmember Kalligher asked if all
improvements were made would the City conform to ADA Standards. The City Manager
responded they would be showing an attempt to conform. Total conformation will be done
over a ten -year period but this would be a good start.
2. Data PrQcessine
Proposed major improvements include:
- Upgrade the Local Area Network (LAN) in the Civic Center, and the remote
access with the City Garage and Heritage Center.
- Installation of Mobile Digital Terminals (MDTs) in Police and inspection
vehicles.
- Replacement of existing cash registers in the Liquor Stores, Parks and
Recreation, Administration, and the Earle Brown Heritage Center.
14/4/93 - 8 -
- Acquisition, replacement, or upgrade of major application, such as replacing the
I11tiMap GIS with Arclnfo and AreView; adding AutoCAD; replacing the
LOGIS financial investment module with a PC based package, and acquiring an
imaging system.
In the long term, installation of a mini - computer in the Civic Center to convert
Brooklyn Center to a LOGIS distributed site.
- Continued replacement of hardware and software as necessary.
3. Vehicles and Equipment
The City policy for the replacement of vehicles and equipment establishes a projected
reasonable life cycle for each item. Annually, the life cycles are reviewed and updated
on the basis of experience or changed circumstances. New vehicles and equipment are
proposed for addition to existing inventories and replacement schedules when new
needs are clearly demonstrated.
Additions of new vehicles and equipment are requested through the annual budget
process. In 1994 the City will implement a Central Garage Internal Scrvicc Fund,
which will own all vehicles and major equipment. The cost of owning (depreciation,
license, insurance, overhead) and operating (preventative maintenance and repair)
vehicles and equipment will be charged back to the departments using the equipment.
Replacement of existing equipment would be funded from the Fund. The addition of
equipment would be considered for funding from a variety of sources: The General
Fund, enterprise funds, etc.
The Public Works Coordinator added if vehicles are replaced with a similar vehicle it can
be covered with Central Grarage fund money.
Couneilmember Scott questioned if police cars could all be painted in the same design. The
City Manager responded the reason for the different paint designs is due to the fact of the
age of the vehicles. The City has now chosen a design that will be used on all future
purchased cars.
Ca MUNI DE� P _ENT
1, Co mmunitLIDgyplopment
- Redevelopment of Brooklyn Boulevard is currently in its second phase of study.
The first phase took a basic approach to identifying options for redevelopment.
The second phase will identify specific themes, improvements, planning
considerations, etc., to be used in guiding redevelopment.
10/4/93 -9.
Community Development continues to work together with the Brookdale
Shopping Center to provide support for redevelopment. Community
Development and Engineering are working together with Brookdale to develop
options for meeting storm drainage and water quality requirements which will
he in effect if Brookdale undertakes any major remodeling and expansion.
It is anticipated that the program of purchasing dilapidated single- family houses
and apartment buildings will continue as funds are available.
2. Heritage Center Operations
- Several minor remodeling projects are shown for consideration. These include
both remodeling to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities
Act and other maintenance and repair.
- Included for consideration is acquisition of additional land near the Heritage
Center to serve as overflow parking and the eventual construction of the G barn.
- Replacement or acquisition of several items of major equipment are included for
consideration.
Community Development activities are funded from a combination of TIF revenue,
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, the EDA levy, and Heritage
Center revenue. A category of "Other funds" is shown to indicate that funding has no4b
been identified for some proposed activities.
F ACILITIE5 AND EQUIPMENT
1. Qovernment Buildings
Proposed major improvements to be considered over the next several years include:
Interim remodeling to the upper level of City Hall to alleviate severe space
needs, improve the Council Chambers, and begin to meet ADA accessibility
requirements. The proposed project would also provide short-term overflow
office space for the Policc Department and begin to address air quality needs.
Major remodeling of the Central Garage to meet life safety, EEO, ADA,
building and fire code, and space needs.
An addition to the City Hall building with the emphasis on providing additional
space for the Police Department and upgrading mechanical systems.
10/4/93 - 10 -
An addition to the Community Center with the emphasis on providing space for
senior activities.
Construction of an additional storage building at the Central Garage to provide
increased protection for the City's fleet of vehicles.
Construction of additions to both of the City's fire stations to provide improved
training facilities and increased vehicle storage space.
Proposed funding for the improvements would come from several sources. In the
short term, remodeling of upper City Hall and the Central Garage would be funded
primarily from the Capital Improvements Fund. The water and sewer utilities would
contribute to the cost of the Garage remodeling.
Other improvements would be considered for funding from General Obligation bonds.
It is expected that a referendum considering authorization of the sale of bonds would
be placed on the ballot in late 1994 or early 1995,
Councilmember Rosene questioned whether the City could levy $100,000 over five years to
purchase a future radio system for the City. The City Manager responded no a bond can
only be issued for principal and interest to pay existing debt.
The City Manager reviewed briefly the bond issue proposal and stated given the major areas
that would have to be addressed in the bond issue (including police department expansion,
community center expansion- senior activities, fire stations remodeling, and park needs) it
would not be feasible to do all the necessary preliminary work for a major bond issue to
bring before Brooklyn Center voters prior to the spring of 1995.
The City Manager provided some very preliminary cost estimates for addressing space needs,
ADA issues, and our soft tissue injury problems;
1. If the Council is interested in developing a modern council chamber capable of
effectively cablecasting meetings and eliminating the problems currently had in the
council chambers, the cost of the remodeling would be in the area of $150,000.
2. The police department is in need of additional office space. There is also a similar
need for the fire chief and his secretary. The current space available in the lower level
of city hall cannot be remodeled and used any more efficiently than it is. Proposed
for Council consideration is the lease of a temporary "classroom -type" building to be
placed where the police cars currently park with a connection built into the
investigators area on the lower level. The office space would then be connected to the
city hall and relieve the overcrowding for the police department and the fire chiefs
office. The cost of equipping the temporary building and setup and construction of
the connection and the necessary internal remodeling within the department would
10/4/93 - 11 -
cost approximately $$0,000. There would be an annual rental fee for the "temporary"
building of approximately $15,000. is
3. To address the space shortages for the community development department and the
upper level of city hall, suggested is a remodeling project which would cost $75,000 to
$100,000 for construction. This remodeling would include the ADA required
modification to the existing restroom facilities on the upper level,
4. At the community center there is a need for clerical and administrative space. It is
incumbent to move work areas away from the public counter areas, as it is almost
Impossible to work in this situation, It is anticipated that remodeling in the
community center would expand either into the open "art display area" on the north
side of the building or possibly eliminate the pottery and kiln room and turn it into
office space. This remodeling would cost approximately $25,000.
5. The City Council previously stated concern that interim projects would cost significant
dollars and the results of the interim project would not be able to be used in long -term
solutions, In attempting to address this problem in addition to the construction
remodeling estimates mentioned above, we are proposing to utilize the space on the
upper level of city hall much better and address the soft tissue injury workers'
compensation problem with the purchase of all new adjustable workstations and
cubicles for most of the clerical and administrative personnel. These workstations
would include all adjustable work surfaces and computer stations and screen panels.
The cost of equipping most all of the workstations in the upper level and lower leve
of city hall would he in the area of $2$0,000 to $300,000. The beauty of using these
modular adjustable workstations is they can be moved and reutilized in any future
building expansion or remodeling.
The total cost of these improvements would be in the range of $600,000 to $700,000. If the
Council chooses to go ahead with the council chamber remodeling, that would be a
permanent remodeling and would not have to be redone at a future date. In addition the
modular adjustable workstations could be moved and salvaged when a long -term
improvement is made and their costs would not be wasted. More than half the cost of the
proposed remodeling would not be wasted when a future long -term expansion is
implemented, Because it will take at least three to four more years to implement any long-
term solution, it would be necessary for Council to consider some type of interim action.
It seems to be in the City's economic interest and in the interest in avoiding physical
problems for City employees to move quickly on modifying the workstations and purchasing
adjustable ones to eliminate the workers' comp risk,
Councilmember Scott stated the current Council chambers looks more like a court room
than a Council chamber. The City Manager responded originally the Council chambers was
used by the Court. Councilmember Rosene suggested the Council decide soon where they'
10/4/93 - 12 -
want to be located so some other issues can be resolved. Councilmember Rosene
questioned whether the current Council chambers could be remodeled to use the height
available in the room. The Public Works Director stated no due to the accessibility issue
and circulation.
Mayor Paulson asked if a bond issue would be more likely to pass on a special interest
versu eneral interest. T he i
S e C ity Manager suggested a consultant make a presentation to
P
the Cit Council Heil during an upcoming worksession, The City Manager stated such a
consultant u ant would charg app roximately 5 000 -
g PP $ , �7 000 which would include the
Y � community
survey.
Mayor Paulson asked what was the action required by Council at this time and staff
responded if Council wishes they can direct staff to develop a plan for the bond issue.
Councilmember Kalligher asked staff to research how much Constitution Hall is used and
what the impact would be if the Council chambers was moved to Constitution Hall.
Councilmember Scott stated she is surprised more city employees have not complained about
the space situation, She added she feels the current Council chambers is adequate and
should not be remodeled now and then have the Council move to other chambers.
Mayor Paulson stated the Council needs to find out what the citizens of Brooklyn Center
. Yn r
I
are w to a for i
g pay o n a bond issue.
Councilmember Scott asked what the solution to the space shortage problem is for now.
The City Manager stated the Council can pick and choose which areas they want to remodel
and how they want to handle expansion,
Councilmember Kalligher asked staff how many workers' comp cases are now pending. Staff
responded 5 with 3 occurring in the past 12 months.
Staff was directed to schedule Bill Morris, bond issue consultant, for the next Council
worksession to discuss bond issu eprocess.
Councilmember Scott announced the upcoming League of MN Cities meeting on
October 21 199 Z• - y m. t the Par k Inn.

Discussion of Development of a RFP Process for Attorney's Services
The City Manager reviewed the Council had suggested going to a RFP for attorney services.
Mayor Paulson asked staff if the Council could get a listing of the bills that have been
received by the City for attorney services and a breakdown of the bills,
10/4/93 -13-

OPENING CEREMONIES
Mr, Ulysses Boyd offered the invocation.
OPEN FORUM
Mayor Paulson noted the Council had received one request to use the open forum session
this evening,
Ms. Peg Snesrud, 7849 Xerxes Court in Brooklyn Park, expressed her anger over an incident
involving her son one week ago and invited the Council to participate in a solution to the
problem of youth violence. She said her son had been assaulted in Brooklyn Center by a
juvenile swinging a car jack, and though his physical wounds have nearly healed, he has been
deeply affected emotionally,
Ms. Snesrud gave several suggestions for taking a proactive approach to youth violence
including multiple pranged involvement by State legislature, municipalities, school districts,
juvenile court workers, and parents. She also stated Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park
should work on "hot- spots" where more crime is occurring and develop a reputation as cities
that are tough on juvenile crime, as well as empowering apartment manager coalitions to
take responsibility for problem tenants,
10/12193 - 1 -
Ms. Snesrud explained her efforts to organize a Forum meeting on November 10, 1993, to
further address this issue with all involved and detailed her progress thus far with Brooklyn
Park's City Council.
Councilmember Scott thanked Ms. Snesrud for her comments and concern and agreed youth
violence is becoming a great problem. She said it is parents who are noL taking
responsibility for their children and not teaching them right and wrong at home.
Mayor Paulson explained in Brooklyn Center a proactive approach to youth violence is being
taken. He said there had been two town meetings regarding youth within the last year that
had been a great success. He stressed the meetings produced awareness of the need for
youth activities not just punishment and said coincidentally there is already a meeting
scheduled for November 10th regarding the same subject.
Police Captain Joel Downer responded he knew of the incident involving Ms. Snesrud's son
and had spoken to Chief Hampton regarding the November 10 meeting. He explained Chicf
Hampton's comments that Brooklyn Center has always participated with Brooklyn Park in
issues like this, but he would like to review the purpose of the proposed forum and
determine if it is redundant considering already scheduled efforts made by Brooklyn Center.
He explained Chief Hampton's desire to meet with Ms. Snesrud to coordinate efforts
between her and both municipalities,

DISCUSSION ITEMS
The City Manager introduccd the C,'tizcn Appeal of Administrativc Traffic Committee
Determination Regarding the Clear View Triangle. He explained since the time of the Clear
View Triangle Ordinance the City has required measures be taken to remove obstructions
in twelve instances. He said there are two property owners who have appealed the City's
requirements to remove obstructions and cited the two addresses involved in these appeals.
He explained the property at 5603 James is owned by Mr. Ken Campbell and showed an
overhead with photos of the obstruction that had received complaints.
Mr. Campbell explained to the Council he thought the complaint must have been due to
lilac bushes on the properties across the street from him rather than the spruce tree on his
property which he said is not wide enough to obstruct a vehicle. He explained he had heard
the comment from staff that it would be a good time to transplant the tree. Mr. Campbell
said that would be a proactive approach which would not be in line with the ordinance's
intent to respond to obstructions only when citizens complain rather than going out looking
for obstructions. He also explained removing the tree is not in keeping with his landscaping
plans, and he did not see the tree as a public safety hazard.
Councilmember Scott asked if the owner of the lilac bushes had been contacted. The Public
Works Coordinator explained the property owners with the lilac bushes on their property
were being cited in violation of the ordinance, Councilmember Scott said she would hate to
see the tree taken down and wondered if the owner could trim the lower portion of it.
Mr. Campbell said he would certainly trim the tree which would probably satisfy the
complainant.
IS Councilmember Mann concurred the tree was not the problem at that intersection and said
trimming the bottom 18 to 24 inches of the tree was a good solution, -
10/12/93 -7-
The Director of Public Works explained 1$ to 24 inches would probably not be enough since
branches droop and snow weighs them down even more, but said trimming the tree 4 to 5
feet would eliminate the sight distance obstruction.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Mann that
the appeal be mitigated if the property owner trims the tree at least 24 inches up from the
bottom and does so within two weeks from this meeting. In addition, the property owner
needs to recognize, as the tree grows, it will become a problem, The motion passed
unanimously,
The Public Works Coordinator next showed photographs of the property at 5120 E. Twin
Lake Boulevard owned by Daniel and Maureen Middlestedt.
Mr. Middlestedt explained to the Council the picture was not current because some
trimming had taken place since it was taken. He continued because of a rise in the land
beneath his juniper shrubs trimming them to the level he had been asked to trim would
destroy them. He said he had bought his property based partially on the landscaping value,
and would file a just compensation claim if he had to remove the juniper. He also felt one
of the people complaining had already been satisfied by the trimming and the other may be
the type that just likes to complain and has ulterior motives. He said having to remove his
juniper based can this type of complaint seemed unfair.
Councilmember Mann explained she drove the intersection in a pick -up and there was n
visual obstruction, however in a passenger car she could not see clearly.
Mr. Middlestedt added there is currently a brush pile that needs to be removed which might
add to the obstruction. He said he was waiting to remove it until he found out the action
by the City Council.
Councilmember Scott said she drove by the property in a van and saw no blockage to vision,
but in a regular car she said it definitely seemed like a safety hazard.
j
Councilmember Mann suggested the City allow further trimming and then re- evaluate the
situation.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Mann to
allow the Middlestedts two weeks to try to alleviate the hazard with trimming and removing
the brush pile, and the Middlestedts should stand warned the situation will be monitored and
there may be a need for removal in the future. The motion passed unanimously.
ST A S R .P07 N VgQpOSED 1994 S RE T IMPROVEMENTS
The City Manager reported the progress on the six improvement project areas for 1994,
detailing which step of the ten step process has been reached for each project area and
reviewing the contents of the d far the Council.
h information ion rove e
e nfo p
10/12193 ' $
The Director of Public Works explained his recommendation for passage of 3 resolutions
and 2 motions regarding these projects and explained his reasons for these
recommendations.
In response to Councilmember Scott's question, the Director of Public Works explained
Brooklyn Park is willing to participate in the cost of the topographic survey.
Councilmember Mann asked if Brooklyn Park's residents are aware of the considered
improvements.
The Director of Public Works explained no informational meetings have been held as of yet
by Brooklyn Park as their staff is waiting until a topographic survey is being conductcd and
get some preliminary facts before presenting it to their citizens. He stated if the resolution
is passed tonight, then Brooklyn Park's staff will send out the notification letter tomorrow.
Mayor Paulson expressed his concern that the Humboldt Avenue and 73rd Avenue studies
not be conducted separately but because of their impact on one another they should be
studied together, especially if closure of Humboldt Avenue is an option that is being
considered.
The Director of Public Works explained the plans were to conduct them as separate
projects, and he finds closure hard to accept as a viable alternative. He said closure would
simply dump the traffic problem somewhere else.
The City Manager stated he didn't think the City ever committed to closure as an option.
Mayor Paulson said he only used the possibility of closure as an example of why the two
improvement projects should go hand in hand.
The City Manager said taking the recommended action for this evening would put the two
projects on a parallel course without adversely affecting one another.
Councilmember Rosene made the request of staff not to rule out any options yet and
inquired what type of resident opposition might be found along 73rd Avenue.
The Director of Public Works explained the most common resident problems are traffic
volume is too high and that too much of the front yards will be lost.
Councilmember Rosene said he has heard complaints about cables being dug up and not
covered over for months, and wants to assure residents in the area their complaints will be
heard and addressed.
Councilmember Mann asked if any residents of 73rd Avenue were in the audience who
0 wanted to speak.
10/12/93 -9 -
Kay Staffer of 1113 73rd Avenue North said she had talked to a lot of people, many
whom could not attend a meeting, who were very sad about any changes to their road.
said they are against having it torn up again, and some would even mo out if more ro
construction is to take place. She said it is a beautiful street and should be kept that way,
with the possible addition of more stop signs,
Councilmember Mann responded by saying what are being discussed tonight are just studies,
and the improvements are not a done deal to be rammed down the residents' throats.
Tom Nystrom, 807 73rd Avenue North, said he built ten years ago and cannot believe the
change since then in the amount of traffic, He said be is very afraid for his two sons and
pleaded with the Council to do something about it.
Leland Staffer, also of 1113 73rd Avenue North commented a vote should be taken among
public before any improvements are made, or it's not fair to the residents. He said he
doesn't like when the City goes over the heads of the taxpayers and makes decisions the
residents don't want made. He also exprossed anger over the volume of the sound system
at City Council meetings as he said he could not hear what is being said at the Council table.
The Director of Public Works explained the current procedure for making decisions over
street Improvements had been designed to include citizen participation at several points in
the process.
Councilmember Rosene commented in several instances it seems our City is being asked'
bear the burden of commuter traffic from outlying areas using our streets,

STATUS REPORT RE: RATES AND POLICIES FOR PUBLIC UTILITIES
The City Manager explained the City Council annually reviews water, sanitary sewer, and
storm drainage utility rates to ensure the utilities' financial goals are met, He said there are
rate increases proposed and explained why they are necessary.
The Public Works Coordinator further explained the proposed rate increases and explained
specifically how they would go into effcct. She detailed the reasons for rate increases
because of decreasing interest subsidy, the need to finance capital improvements, a wet year
resulting in decreased water revenue, and unavoidable increases in operating costs.
Councilmember Rosene asked the City Attorney if the question of raising rates could be put
to a public vote.
Because Councilmember Mann asked what would happen if the rates were not raised, the
Public Works Coordinator explained the City is under legal obligation not to lose money,
so either rates must be raised or expenditures must be cut.
Mayor Paulson said he had voted against the raises last year and if he voted for them this
year it would be only with regret, but with awareness of the necessity.
Councilmember Rosene said he had no great enthusiasm in voting for them either.
10/12/93 11 -
Councilmember Mann asked if there are other ways the expenditures could be cut . a*
whether Brooklyn Center's rates are high or low in comparison with other cities.
The Public Works Coordinator explained ways that money savings are currently being found
and said Brooklyn Center's water rates are the 3rd or 4th lOWest in the metro area, and the
sewer rates are right in the middle range.

interest in human services issues and would be willing to serve as a municipal
representative to the Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council Advisory
Commission.
The Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council is a human services planning and
coordinating agency serving the cities of Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Champlin,
Corcoran, Crystal, Dayton, Golden Valley, Hanover, Hassan, New Hope, Maple
Grove, Osseo, Plymouth, Robbinsdale, and Rogers since 1972. The goals of the
Council are to improve access to human services for area residents, raise awareness
of human service needs, and coordinate and assist in planning for needed human
services in the community.
The Advisory Commission is composed of citizen representatives appointed for two -
year terms by their respective City Council. As an Advisory Commissioner,
representatives are asked to attend one Advisory Commission meeting per month and

Dear Advisory Commission Applicants:
Two of Brooklyn Center's advisory commissions have vacancies due to resignation by
commissioners: the Financial Commission and the Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council

advisory commission, Mayor Paulson suggested you be notified of these vacancies to inquire if you
continue to have an interest in serving on a commission. Please call me at 569 -3306 if you are
interested in applying for either of these advisory commissions. The Mayor and City Council will
be appointing commissioners sometime in early October.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached
SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached --
At its October 12, 1993, meeting, the City Council had brief discussion regarding reappointing
advisory commissioners when their terms have expired. This item was tabled to this evening's
meeting due to two councilmembers being absent.
It was requested at your budget work session on October 18, 1993, to prepare a list of those
commissioners whose terms will be expiring the end of this year, along with a record of their
attendance at commission meetings this year, and a list of which commissions currently have
openings. Following is such a list:
Advisory Commission Member Terms
Expiring December 31, 1993
FINANCIAL COMMISSION no vacancies
10 meetings held to date in 1993
Donn Escher - 1 excused absence
Ulyssess Boyd - 2 excused absences
Ron Christensen - 2 excused absences
HOUSING COMIVIISSION - two vacancies
6 meetings held to date in 1993
John Kalligher - 2 excused absences
• HUMAN RIGHTS AND RESOURCES COMIVIISSION - no vacancies
7 meetings held to date in 1993
Trayce Olsen - no absences (appointed on 8/9/93)
Sharon Achtelik - 1 excused absence
Julie Eoloff - no absences
PARK AND RECREATION CONDMSION - one vacancy
7 meetings held to date in 1993
Bud Sorenson - no absences
John Russell - no absences
• The Council should direct staff on the process desired for these commissioners to be considered
for reappointment to their respective commissions. Following are some suggestions:
1. Each commission could place on its meeting agenda for November a discussion item
regarding the upcoming expiring terms of commissioners. Those commission
members who have a desire to continue serving on the commission can express their
interest at the meeting, and the commission can make a motion to recommend to the
City Council reappointment of those commission members. This would enable
commission members to give input.
2. Each commission member whose term is expiring could verbally indicate to the City
Council liaison of the commission his /her interest in continuing to serve on the
commission. This would enable the City Council liaison to give input based on
his /her knowledge of the commission member's active role in serving the
commission.
3. As in the past, each commission member whose term is expiring could verbally
indicate to the staff liaison to the commission his /her interest in continuing to serve
on the commission. This would enable the staff liaison to report to the Council on
whether the commission member is interested in continuing on the commission.
• 4. Each commission member whose term is expiring could be asked to submit a letter
to the Mayor expressing his /her interest in being reappointed to his /her respective
commission.
5. Each commission member whose term is expiring could reapply using the formal
application process as is used by new applicants.
We understand it is the Council's intent to make commission appointments open to the public.
Currently, there are two vacancies on the Housing Commission and one vacancy on the Park and
Recreation Commission, and we have announced these in the Brooklyn Center Sun -Post and
Northwest News Is it your intent to publish a generic advertisement encouraging residents to apply
for all commissions at the end of each year (to be published in October /November) or some other
alternative?
Also, whatever method is selected for the reappointments should be consistent across commissions
to lend credibility to the entire appointment process.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Direct staff on a process for the reappointments of advisory commissioners.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached )
• Staff is asking the city council for direction on appointments to fill vacancies on the
communications task force.
Attached is the enabling resolution for the task force, which does not outline any recruitment
requirements. The mayor is the appointing authority and the city council must give majority
consent approval to his appointments. When the council appointed the task force's newest member
(Gerry Nelson), there was no general recruitment process used at that time.
The task force does not intend to meet until the council fills its vacancies.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION Discuss process to be used to fill vacancies on
the communications task force and direct staff to proceed with this process.

facility and park development. Following that hearing the Council (1)
approved development of the storm water pond and authorized acquisition
of the 4.1 acre parcel and (2) directed staff to evaluate the issues
discussed and report back to the City Council.
8/02/93 Council received and discussed the staff report and directed staff to
conduct informational meetings with citizens in the project area.
9/27/93 Council received staff's report regarding informational meeting which
was held on 9/09/93. After discussion of that report, the Council: (1)
authorized staff to conduct another meeting with property owners on 65th
Avenue to discuss issues specifically related to 65th Avenue; and (2)
called for a second public hearing to be held tonight.
Staff has conducted a workshop meeting with property owners on 65th Avenue. A
copy of our notes regarding that meeting are attached.
Also, a detailed memorandum regarding the coordination of various improvements in
this neighborhood is provided for consideration by the City Council.
Staff Comments and Recommendation
After reviewing all issues regarding a possible Park - and -Ride facility, it is
City staff's opinion that:
✓ Park - and -Ride facilities in general are vital elements of a cost - effective
transportation system.
✓ a Park - and -Ride facility is needed in this area, to properly serve adjacent
neighborhoods.
✓ the 65th Avenue location is better than any other option suggested —both in
• terms of fulfilling the Park - and -Ride function, and in terms of
comprehensive cit y g plannin and cost effectiveness.
✓ it is fully understandable that residents are concerned about possible
impacts of such a development on their neighborhood. Our meetings with
them have provided valuable information to assure that the facility has a
positive, rather than negative, impact on the neighborhood.
✓ as noted in the attached memo, the development of a Park - and -Ride facility
will provide a one - time - opportunity to realign the reverse -curve area of
65th Avenue without spending major costs to acquire right -of -way for that
purpose only.
✓ if development of the Park - and -Ride facility is approved, MTC has agreed to
provide needed right -of -way to allow expansion of Brooklyn Boulevard by
Hennepin County. Without this opportunity, the City would be required to
pay for one -half of those costs.
✓ development and proper design of the Park - and -Ride facility along with the
storm water pond will provide an excellent opportunity for the City to
establish a standard for other redevelopment projects along Brooklyn
Boulevard. Because of its "Gateway" location this can provide the model
which the City wants to establish for future redevelopment projects — to
provide a significant upgrade to the City's image, and to provide a
catalyst for implementation of the Brooklyn Boulevard plan.
We consider this to be an integral part of both transportation and economic
development improvements, not only for Brooklyn Boulevard, but for the entire
City, which can set the tone for improvements into the next decade.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
• ask staff to make brief presentation
• preliminary discussion by Council
• open and conduct public hearing
• close public hearing (by motion)
• a resolution is provided for consideration by the City Council. Note: the
resolution would:
✓ approve the development of a Park - and -Ride facility at this location,
subject to final approval by the MTC and the execution of a development
agreement between the City and MTC.
✓ direct staff to develop a proposed development agreement between the
City and MTC, for consideration by the City Council. Such agreement
would cover, in detail, the proposed facility and related improvements,
cost estimates and cost sharin g P — both for development and for future
ownership and maintenance.
Note: it is estimated that it will take 4 to 8 weeks to develop and
negotiate all details of such an agreement. Hopefully it could be
completed and executed by early December. On this basis, the City
• Council would be able to authorize implementation of property
acquisition proceedings in early 1994, with property acquisition and
building removals completed in 1994, and with construction started in
late 1994 or early 1995 and completion in summer of 1995.

moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION APPROVING DEVELOPMENT OF PARK -AND -RIDE FACILITY FOR THE
METROPOLITAN TRANSIT COMMISSION
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Transit Commission (MTC) has advised the
City of Brooklyn Center that it wishes to develop a Park - and -Ride facility in
the area north of 65th Avenue North and west of Brooklyn Boulevard; and
WHEREAS, the City and MTC have, by cooperative agreement, prepared
preliminary layout plans for the development of such facilities and for the
development of a stormwater pond on adjacent properties; and
WHEREAS, on June 28, 1993, the City Council conducted a public
hearing regarding the proposed development of the stormwater pond, the Park -
and -Ride facility and a contiguous park /open space area; and
WHEREAS, following that public hearing, the City Council approved
development of the stormwater pond and tabled consideration of the Park -and-
Ride facility and the park /open space area until additional information was
available and additional informational meetings were held; and
WHEREAS, additional information has been provided, informational
meetings have been held, and a second public hearing was conducted by the City
Council on October 25, 1993; and
WHEREAS, the development of the Park - and -Ride facility will provide a
one -time opportunity to obtain additional rights -of -way for improvements to
Brooklyn Boulevard and for improvements to 65th Avenue North without incurring
future costs for the development of such improvements; and
WHEREAS, it is the opinion of the Council that contiguous properties
as shown on Alternative Plan 3 should also be acquired and developed for
park /open space use; and
WHEREAS, it is the opinion of this Council that 65th Avenue North
between Indiana Avenue and Brooklyn Boulevard should be realigned and
reconstructed in conjunction with the development of the stormwater pond,
Park - and -Ride facility and the park /open space area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, that:
1. development of a Park - and -Ride facility and the park /open space area

SUBJ: Park - and -Ride Facility and Coordination
of Related Improvements
On 6/28/93 the City Council conducted a public hearing regarding the proposed storm water
pond, Park - and -Ride facility and park development in the southwesterly quadrant of the
I- 694 /13rooklyn Boulevard interchange. Following that meeting the Council:
✓ approved development of the storm water pond and authorized acquisition of the 4.1
acre vacant property for that purpose; and
✓ directed staff to evaluate the various issues which were discussed at the public hearing
relating to the Park - and -Ride facility; and report back to the City Council.
The staff report regarding the Park - and -Ride facility was submitted to the City Council on
8/9/93, and the City Council then directed staff to conduct one or more informational
meetings with citizens in the project area to present staff's report and solicit additional input.
The public informational meeting was held at the Garden City School on 9/9/93. We
believe that meeting went very well, with good citizen participation. At that meeting, one
major area of concern was the ability of 65th Avenue to carry the additional traffic and the
traffic impact (both existing traffic volumes and the additional traffic from the. Park - and -Ride
facility) on 65th Avenue.
Accordingly, staff has worked with SRF (the consultants) and MTC to develop a plan for
improvements to 65th Avenue which will (1) improve its capacity; (2) reduce the potential
for accidents by realignment of the road (larger radii on the reverse curves, etc.); (3) move
the edge of the 65th Avenue roadway away from the properties on the other side of the street
to allow the boulevard in front of those homes to be landscaped; and (4) address other
concerns voiced by the residents. Four new alternative alignment /geometric layout plans
were developed. After reviewing Alternative plans 4, 5 and 6, the most current plan,
identified as "Alternative 7" (copy attached) was developed, incorporating what we believe to
be the best features of the other plans —for residents, for the City and for MTC.
On October 18, City and MTC staff conducted another work session meeting with residents
on both sides of 65th Avenue between Brooklyn Boulevard and Indiana Avenue. A copy of
our notes from that meeting are attached. We believe this meeting also went very well and
will provide a basis for working out final details in cooperation with residents, if
development of the Park - and -Ride facility is approved by the City Council.
Coordination of Improvement in this Neighborhood
To date, the primary focus of discussion regarding improvements in this neighborhood have
included the following:
✓ Development of the storm water pond at I- 94/694 and Brooklyn Boulevard; along
with storm sewer system changes which will be needed to assure proper functioning
of this pond.
✓ Near - future improvements to the storm sewer system along Indiana Avenue to relieve
flooding problems experienced north of 63rd Avenue, and in the Marlin Park area -
• possibly including another pond in Marlin Park.
✓ Longer -term future improvements to the storm sewer system westerly of Indiana
Avenue, including an upgrade of the sewer on 65th Avenue and possibly another pond
in the Orchard Lane Park area.
✓ A "relief" overflow storm sewer at the east end of the 65th Avenue storm
sewer —from Brooklyn Drive to Shingle Creek.
✓ Development of the Park - and -Ride facility.
✓ Development of additional park/open space in conjunction with the storm water
pond /park- and -ride development.
✓ Brooklyn Boulevard improvements, in cooperation with Hennepin County, and as part
of the City's Community Development plan for improvements to the Brooklyn
Boulevard corridor.
During the course of discussions regarding these various endeavors, the improvement of 65th
Avenue has been implied, but has not been brought into focus until now. Accordingly, we
offer the following rationale for including the total reconstruction of 65th Avenue between
Brooklyn Boulevard and Indiana Avenue into "Phase I" of improvements in this
• neighborhood, if development of the Park - and -Ride facility is approved:
✓ As noted above, the storm water pond at I- 94/694 and Brooklyn Boulevard would be
useless without installing the necessary connections between the pond and 65th
Avenue.
✓ Construction of a storm sewer to the Indiana Avenue /Marlin Park area should be
considered for inclusion in Phase I improvements in this neighborhood. At a
minimum this would require crossing 65th Avenue at Marlin Drive.
✓ The storm sewer under 65th Avenue needs upgrading, to repair problem areas, and to
increase capacity.
✓ Existing traffic conditions on 65th Avenue warrant capacity improvements to the 65th
Avenue /Brooklyn Boulevard intersection, including at least a separate right -turn lane
for eastbound traffic.
✓ While development of the Park - and -Ride facility will increase the need for roadway
improvements to 65th Avenue, it will also provide a one time opportunity to realign
this roadway without major right -of -way costs to the City.
✓ The Pavement Management Program currently being developed for the City rates this
section of 65th as one which would marginally benefit from an application of an
overlay, and it is probable that further analysis would indicate that reconstruction of
the segment would be the most cost - effective, long -term rehabilitation strategy.
✓ Hennepin County's anticipated improvement of Brooklyn Boulevard (best guess for
construction is in 1995) will provide an ideal opportunity to fully coordinate
improvements to the 65th Avenue /Brooklyn Boulevard intersection.
Accordingly, if development of the Park - and -Ride facility is approved, the reconstruction of
65th Avenue should be planned for inclusion into Phase I improvements to this
neighborhood.
Scheduling
In recent discussions with MTC staff, we have reached a consensus that it would be
unrealistic to attempt to purchase all properties, remove buildings, etc., start construction
and complete construction in 1994. Rather, a more realistic schedule will allow for property
acquisition and removal of buildings in 1993 -94, with construction starting in late 1994 or
early 1995, and completion in the summer of 1995. This schedule will allow for proper
consideration, development, and coordination of all elements of Phase I improvements in this
neighborhood.
Note While I will not plan to cover this detailed memorandum in my opening comments at
the Public Hearing regarding the Park - and -Ride facility, I felt it necessary to provide the
Council with this overview so that you may integrate it into your considerations regarding the
Park - and -Ride facility.
Should you wish for me to discuss these issues during the public hearing or following the
hearing, please ask me to do so.

PARK AND RIDE INFORMATIONAL MEETING
MONDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1993
AT WEST FIRE STATION
Residents: About 20
City Staff: Sy Knapp
MTC Staff: Scott Thompson
Knapp opened the meeting with a welcome and stated the primary purpose of this meeting
was to discuss issues specifically relating to 65th Avenue and summarized those issues as
follows:
✓ capacity and turning movement issues at the 65th Avenue /Brooklyn Boulevard
intersection.
✓ concern regarding the sharp reverse curves on 65th Avenue between Brooklyn
Boulevard and Marlin Drive.
✓ additional traffic volumes on 65th Avenue, resulting from development of a Park -and-
Ride facility.
✓ accident history along 65th Avenue.
✓ buses exiting from the facility would be going past three single - family residences on
west side of 65th Avenue.
Knapp reviewed seven alternative layout plans that have been prepared, noting the advantages
and disadvantages of each.
Alternatives 1 and 2 : These alternatives are no longer in consideration because they
would provide a minimum amount of space for the storm water
pond. The City Council selected Alternative 3.
Alternative 3 : The storm water pond portion of this plan has been approved by
the City Council, and the remaining alternates are variations of
this plan— developed to deal with issues relating to 65th Avenue.
Alternatives 4,5, and 6 : Are rough drawing indicating various alignments which have
been developed to deal with the 65th Avenue issues noted
above. Each of these have some advantages, but more
disadvantages.
• Alternative 7 : (Copy attached) is a plan which City staff and MTC staff
believe incorporates the best features of all previous alternatives
for property owners, for the City and for MTC.
This plan contemplates total reconstruction of 65th Avenue
between Brooklyn Boulevard and Indiana Avenue, with the
following specific features:
• moving the alignment of the N -S portion of the roadway
approximately 8 to 10 feet easterly from its present
location —to move it further away from the 3 houses on
the west side of the roadway, thereby increasing the
width of their boulevard and the distance between their
homes and the roadway.
• construction of a Mane roadway (2 eastbound and 1
westbound) between the bus exit driveway and Brooklyn
Boulevard.
• placing larger radii on the reverse curves.
• construction of a traffic island in the northerly curve
is area —to provide protection channelization of traffic
through this area, protection for buses exiting from the
Park - and -Ride facility, and to discourage use of this
driveway by eastbound traffic on 65th Avenue.
• installation of concrete curb and gutter, as part of the
street reconstruction project.
Knapp also noted the following:
• A review of reported accidents during years 1991, 1992 and 1993 to date (copy
attached) indicates that 15 of the 20 accidents occurred at the 65th Avenue /Brooklyn
Boulevard intersection. The remaining 5 occurred at the locations shown on the map.
Compared to other locations within the City, the accident rate for this section of 65th
Avenue is at or below normal.
• Discussion with Hennepin County Department of Transportation engineers has
indicated that, if a Park - and -Ride facility is constructed at this location, they will
adjust the traffic signal on Brooklyn Boulevard to assign a higher priority to
eastbound traffic on 65th Avenue —in recognition of the importance of facilitating
mass transit. Such an adjustment will also benefit other eastbound traffic approaching
this intersection.
i
In open discussion, residents provided the following questions and comments:
Q. If you move the roadway to the east, who will be responsible for mowing the wider
boulevard?
A. The adjacent property owners are responsible for maintaining their yards out to the
street.
Q. It's very difficult to maintain grass on the existing boulevard... because of the City's
heavy usage of salt and sand on the reverse curves... particularly in the 6 to 8 feet
closest to the street.
A. With the larger radii, City should not have to use as much salt (we now use only a
limited amount of sand). However, salt -kill will probably always be a problem.
Several options were discussed — moving sidewalk to different location, other types of
vegetation in the boulevard, etc. Knapp expressed City's willingness to discuss
options to this issue further with residents if the project proceeds.
Q. Backing out of our driveway (on west side of the street) into the street is dangerous
now. It'll get worse with additional traffic volumes.
A. By moving the street further east, and by providing two eastbound lanes, Plan 7
would increase visibility and the safety of this maneuver. However, construction of
"back - arounds" can be considered for situations like yours. These allow you to back
around to an addition on the side of your driveway, so you can drive forward into the
street, instead of backing into it.
The disadvantages of back - arounds are (1) it uses up a part of the front yard and (2) it
needs to be maintained (snow removal, etc.). However, if property owner wishes to
have a back - around, City will work with you on a one -on -one basis.
Q. If street is reconstructed, won't City charge us for that?
A. Under existing City policy, special assessments are levied for any street
improvements. For 1994 we estimate that the special assessment rate will be $1550
per single family home.
Q. Why not cut 65th Avenue off at Marlin Drive so that all traffic must go to 63rd
Avenue? Originally, traffic went north to 66th Avenue, but that got cut off by the
construction of I- 94/694.
A. The greatest portion of the traffic volume on 65th Avenue is traffic to the
neighborhood which lies between I94/694 and 64th Avenue. Closing 65th Avenue at
Marlin Drive would increase traffic volumes on all north -south streets to 63rd
Avenue, which already has substantially more traffic than 65th Avenue.
Q. (by property owner at Marlin Drive and 65th) I don't think the plan (Alternative 7)
will do much to keep cars out of my yard /or to keep them from hitting my house. I'd
like to have very high curbs or barrier walls to protect my property.
A. Installation of concrete curb and gutter usually reduces this problem substantially.
Also, Plan 7, with the island through the curve area, should slow westbound traffic.
Any consideration of high curbs or barriers must be evaluated against potential
liability for damages or injury to persons who hit such obstacles. However, if the
project is approved we will meet with property owners along 65th Avenue on a
one -on -one basis, to review everyone's needs individually.
Q. Recommend extension of the new sidewalk on the north side to Indiana Avenue
(instead of stopping at Marlin Drive).
A. If the project proceeds, we will consider that suggestion.
Q. Regarding the Park - and -Ride site plan, would MTC consider placing a second shelter
building there, so patrons who park at the north end don't have to walk so far?
A. MTC will consider that. We have done that at other locations.
Knapp closed the meeting after reminding all that the City Council will be conducting its
second public hearing regarding the Park - and -Ride facility next Monday, October 25 at 8:00
p.m. and thanking all for their attendance, their discussion, and their suggestions.

. Mr. Sy Xnapp October 24, 1993
Director Of Public: Works
6391 Shingle Creek Pkwy
Brooklyn Center, MN 55430
Dear Mr. By Knapp
Ism writing in responoe to the meeting held on October 14, 1993
at the B.C. Fire depar'tinent regarding the proposed Park & Ride
Facility. Since I will not be able to attend the next meeting
scheduled for Monday October 25 due to business reasons I axn
writing thin letter. I have numerous concerns that were not
addressed at this meeting_ I hope you will confront the
following issues before deciding the fate of this project.
1) The current traffic volume on the corner of 65th & Brooklyn
Blvd. is approximately 2500 vehicles /day. Your prediction Is a
10 % -151 increase in traffic volume as a result of this facility.
My conservative calculations indicate a 3p-t increase in traffic
volume in this vicinity would occur. Reference attachment #i.
it is extremely difficult as well as dangorous to enter and exit
our driveways at present, what will happen with an increase in
traffic volume?
2) originally the plan included trees around the perimeter of the
Park & Ride facility on the 65th side. Due to visibility
concerns of motorists, tho trees have bean replaced by ground
Shrubbery. My concern is that vandalism of property on 85th will
occur due to the visibility from Brooklyn Blvd.
• 3) Since the beginning discussions of this Park & Ride facility,
the increase in pollution Par this area has not been addressed.
This includes the idling buses waiting for their route times and
the commuters awaiting departure in their idling automobiles. In
addition, I would like analysts independent of the City or MTC to
determine the emission composition of each type of Taus (ie.
articulated versus non - articulated buses, older buses versus
newer buses). In particular, T would like a. quantification of
the soot emiooiono for each of the above type buses. Since soot
hag been recently determined to be the hidden causative factor
attributed to lung cancer. If possible compare this to
automobile emissions. Recall, the increase in traffic in concern
#1.
4) The environmental impact of this facility on the local
environment has not been discussed. The following is an example
of the effects of pollution.
The U.S. department of Agriculture has been enumerating the gypsy
moth population within this area during the past summer. Being a
Biologist by trade, Irve studied the plight of the Gypsy moth in
industrialized settings. The gypsy moth is a light- colored moth
which seeks refuge from predation on light bark colored trees.
612 574 4629
O- T E5 "a; 13:19 MEDTRONIC STERILIZATION SERVICES P.8!4
As pollution increases, the tree bark darkens and the gypsy moth
becomos vulnerable. since no gypsy moths were observed in the
trap at my residence, I would conclude the current level of
pollution has darkened the tree causing a subsequent decrease in
the gy'pay moth population.
This example of the gypsy math was used to illustrate the effects
of the current level of pollution in this area. With an increase
in vehicular emissions as a result of this facility, the trees
will not be the only objects Coverod with pollutants. The
exterior of all dwellings in this area will require additional
cleaning, painting and maintenanoo as a result.
5) Pedestrian crossing on 65th hasn't been discussed with any
detail. Especially with the attraction of the proposed park &
recroation center adjacent to the storm water run-off pond.
6) A proposal, that hasn't been raised is the purchase by the City
of the Pour residences along the west side of 65t1i Ave. down to
Marlin Drive. Thin, would greatly reduce the issues surrounding
this area. The Park & Ride Facility would have expansion room in
the future and separate lanes could be built to channel
residential traffic around the facility. if these residences are
not purchased, the property values will certainly decrease.
Resale of these residences maybe impossible. Are there sane
people that would puroa5e a house on a busy thorough fare?
7) The assessmenta local landowners would incur as a result of
this park, & Ride facility. These assessments include the
increased maintenance costs to the roadway due to the elevated
traffic volume and curb & gutter installation. For your
information, the majority of these landowners are retired and
survive on fixed incomes. Any additional assessments would
create financial hardships for these families.
These concerns and oppositions are jilst a Pew that my family and
neighbors have towards this proposed Park & Ride facility. Since
the 'Vikings game is the same night as the presentation to th(e
City Council, Ism sure this propo*i# ion will be voted on and
passed_ T request the .Cinal vo#:? occurs at later date which will
allow greater neighborhood representation and debate.

• SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached )
The Minnesota Department of Commerce has received a renewal application from Cash Etc. to
operate a currency exchange at 6818 Humboldt Avenue North, Brooklyn Center, and has forwarded
a copy of the complete application to the City of Brooklyn Center for its approval. Please note on
January 11, 1993, the City Council passed this resolution for the annual renewal license to operate
January 1, 1993, to December 31, 1993. This evening's renewal application is for the calendar year
January 1, 1994, to December 31, 1994.
Minnesota Statute 53A.04 requires the Department of Commerce to submit any application for
licensure as a currency exchange to the governing body of the municipality in which the currency
exchange proposes to conduct business. The law requires the governing municipality to render a
decision regarding issuance or denial of the license within 60 days. Also, the law requires the
governing municipality to publish notice of intent to consider the license (published in Brooklvn
Center Sun -Post October 13, 1993).
Cash Etc. has submitted the appropriate fee, current fee schedule used for cashing checks, surety
bond in the amount of $10,000, and background investigation by the Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension to the Minnesota Department of Commerce. Also, the Brooklyn Center Police
Department can find no reason why the currency exchange license application should not be
approved (memo and report attached).

of the Commission's functions is to hold public hearings. In the matters concerned in these
hearings, the Commission makes recommendations to the City Council, The City Councfl
makes all final decisions in these matters.
APPLICATION NO 93012 (RYAN OLM
Chair Pro Tem Holmes introduced the first item of business, a request from Ryan Olds for
site and building plan and special use permit approval to construct a small addition to the
Ryan Olds dealership at 6700 Brooklyn Roulcvard.
The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report (see Planning Commission
Information Sheet for Application No. 93012, attached),
Commissioner Reem questioned deliveries made to the back of the parts storage addition.
The Secretary pointed out the floor plan for this addition and location of the door.
10 -14 -93 1
i
Commissioner Holmes questioned the need for a public hearing since the property already
has a Special Use Permit. The Secretary responded an amendment to a Special Use Permit
requires a public hearing. He added this process allows the Cit to address potential
concerns.
Commissioner Holmes questioned the proposed conditions for approval which require a site
performance agreement. The Secretary explained any site improvements generally require
a performance agreement and supporting financial guarantee to assure completion of the
site improvements. He further explained the City's concern is to prevent developers from
presenting and receiving approval on an elaborate plan and then not completing the plans
as approved. He added the City also requires a one -year maintenance period before the
financial guarantee is released.
Commissioner Reem asked if a time period requiring completion of landscaping should be
considered just in case the Brooklyn Boulevard Study is not completed or there is not
enough funding. The Secretary agreed that perhaps the Planning Commission should
consider waiving the landscaping requirements for a period of time, such as one year, to
encourage the applicant to complete the landscaping work.
Commissioner Willson indicated support of requiring a twelve month time limit to assure
the landscaping requirements will be addressed even if the Brooklyn Boulevard Study is
delayed. He added the Planning Commission could consider an extension, if necessary, at
that time. He asked how the parking requirement would be affected if the Brooklyn
Boulevard Study results in the loss of some parking spaces. The Secretary agreed the
Brooklyn Boulevard Study could result in the Ioss of some parking spaces and the City
would not support the loss of green space area. He added that these are matters that would
need to be addressed at the time right -of -way would be acquired.
Richard Haluptsok, Architect for Ryan Olds, explained there are two reasons for their
expansion request; 1) the proposed addition allows them to decrease turn around time when
servicing vehicles; and, 2) the customer service area will be relocated from the second-to the
first floor. He cxplained the techniques for repairing and maintaining cars has changed and
now involves more replacement than repair
In response to Commissioner Holmes question, Mr. Haluptsok indicated Mr. Ryan is
concerned with the Brooklyn Boulevard study requirements and supports the improved
appearance of the entire site. He pointed out the site was completely resurfaced with
blacktop this summer and indicated he feels providing appropriate landscaping will provide
the key to improved appearance.
Chair Pro Tem Holmes questioned the potential for another ingress /egress location. Mr.
Haluptsok explained this matter has been discussed but they feel it is too early to make a
determination.

PUBLIC CH AR NG (APPLICATION NO. 93012)
Chair Pro Tem Holmes opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on request
for site and building plan and special use permit approval to construct a small addition to
the Ryan Olds dealership at 6700 Brooklyn Boulevard at 8:16 p.m. He inquired if there was
anyone present who wished to address the Commission, no one appeared to speak, and he
entertained a motion to close the public hearing.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Thor was a motion by Commimioncr Hilstrom and seconded by Commissioner Reern to
close the public hearing at 8:16 p.m. The motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Willson indicated support for including a time period restriction for
submission of a landscaping plan. The Secretary stated it would be appropriate to place a
condition of this type.
Commissioner Johnson stated he does not think the Brooklyn Boulevard Study will be
completed in 12 months and prefers avoiding the necessity of looking at landscaping twice.
The Secretary explained the City could consider allowing an extension if the Study has not
been completed within 12 months. He added tho City wants to submit roadway changes and
configuration to Hennepin County by December of 1993.
The Secretary asked if the site performance agreement requirement should be eliminated
since no site improvements are being required at this time, or if it should remain in case the
Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission requires site improvements.
Commissioner Willson indicated support for maintaining this requirement due to the
Watershed's involvement.

APPLICATION X10. 9 013 ,CSM CORPORATION}
Chair Pro Tem Holmes introduced the next item of business, a request from CSM
Corporation for site and building plan approval to construct a 23,250 square foot one- story
office building at 3200 County Road 10.
The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report (see Planning Commission
Information Sheet for Application No, 93013, attached),
Commissioner Willson expressed concern that the driginal plat was not filed in a timely
manner and asked if the timing allows the applicant to record the final plat prior to
10.14 -93 4

consideration of this application by the Planning Commission. The Secretary pointed out
one of the proposed conditions of approval would require filing of the plat. He added that
the applicant will not be able to obtain a building permit until the final plat has been
approved and filed with the County,
Commissioner Willson suggested this application be tabled to allow the applicant time to file
the plat. The Secretary explained it has been the Planning Commission's policy to consider
applications such as this with the condition requiring completion of the platting process.
The Secretary explained the applicant is in the process of negotiating a lease for this
building with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and it may take some time to complete.
In the meantime, the plat will receive final City approval and be filed and recorded with
Hennepin County. He reviewed the platting process and reiterated that a building permit
will not be issued until the plat is filed,
Chair Pro Tem Holm questioned the parking and landscaping maintenance requirements.
The Secretary explained the parking areas could possibly be modified, however, the City
would not want to see any landscaping eliminated from the plan. He added CSM manages
this property and has done a good job in making sure it is well kept.
Commissioner Willson questioned the location of the easement on the northeast side and
asked if it will conflict with the building location. The Secretary responded this will be
addressed by the City Engineer but that it did not appear to be in conflict with the building
location,
Bruce Carland, representing CSM Corporation, pointed out the location of the easement
and explained they plan to use the existing building footings which were previously approved
and do not conflict with the easement. With regard to the future possibility of a CUB or
Rainbow Foods in this area, Mr. Carland reported they have never been contacted by either
company regarding availability of property.
In response to Commissioner Hilstrom's question, Mr. Carland stated the office tower is
approximately 90% filled and the two one -story buildings are 75% to 80% occupied. He
added the proposed building would be 100% occupied by the IRS on a ten year lease. He
explained the IRS is currently located in one of the Earle Brown office buildings, however,
it does not meet ADA compliance so they are hopeful they can attract them into the
proposed building.
Commissioner Willson reiterated his concern regarding the long period of time it has taken
to file the plat, He stated he realizes the IRS lease is the economical incentive driving the
platting process at this time. He added that this application presents a wonderful
opportunity for both the City and CSM Corporation.

p.m.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
Moratorium and City Council direction to hold rezoning g earing on November 18
1993.
The Secretary informed the Planning Commission that the City Council has directed the
Planning Commission to hold a public hearing on November 18, 1993 to consider the
rezoning of property south of 66th Avenue and north of I -694, between Willow Lane and
Highway 252,
The Secretary provided an in -depth review of recent Council action resulting in this direction
and the short time schedule allowed. He explained the Planning Commission's
recommendation should be available for Council consideration at their December 13, 1993
meeting in order to meet the end of January expiration of the moratorium. He added this
matter should be handled as quickly as reasonable to avoid delay.
Commissioner Hilstrom questioned the possible restriction on commercial development
along the River, The Secretary explained that a meeting had been held with persons from
the Department of the Interior National Park Service regarding that proposed legislation
and they indicated their concern if development is within 340 feet of the ordinary high water
mark or within 100 feet of the bluff line. He added he is not sure whether the area under
consideration falls within these parameters.
The Secretary reported he asked representatives of the National Park Service if the
proposed legislation would specifically prohibit commercial development within this area.
Thcy $aid it did not and left decisions of this type up to the local zoning authority. He
added the National Park Service encourages the acquisition and development of park areas
along this area of the River, however, Brooklyn Center has already provided a lot of open
public space along the River.
10 -14 -93 7
Tom Kouri, 6416 Willow bane, stated the Scenic River Act includes recommendations which
are clear. He reviewed several which emphasize residential and open space land uses, and
discourages activities that do not relate or contribute riv r
g toth e erfront o could have a
detrimental effect.
The Secretary commented the area that abuts, or is within the 300 foot area, is consistent
with the guidelines contained in the Scenic River Act, Commissioner Willson requested a
copy of the Scenic River Act for the Planning Commission's review,
Commissioner Willson stated he feels the reasons for denial of the Holiday application are
still valid.
Commissioner Hilstrom asked staff to provide the Planning Commission with a map
indicating the area included within 300 feet of the Mississippi River,
The Secretary reviewed overheads of possible zoning configurations as included in the
previously completed SEH report as well as the plan recommended for approval at that time
by the Planning C ommimion, He requested direction from the Planning CO. mmission
regarding the area involved for rezoning and the zoning classification under consideration.
He indicated support for zoning property south of 66th Avenue to 65th Avenue between
Willow Lane and Highway 252, as C -1 (service /office) even though it would result in down
zoning the property and creating some nonconforming uses.
A lengthy discussion was held regarding various options of property and zoning
configurations as well as existing land uses.
The Secretary reviewed each zoning district and allowable uses within each. A general
consensus was reached that all industrial zones were undesirable, it was also felt that C -2
was inappropriate since 24 -hour operations are permitted uses. Discussion then turned to
residential districts, with the Commission indicating R-4 and R -5 would not be appropriate
since they allow two- and three -story buildings and generate increased traffic levels. The
Planning Commission then discussed R -1, R -2 and R -3 permitted uses.
The Secretary pointed out the courts may feel that rezoning to R -1 results in devaluing the
property to the point where it is not economically feasible to develop it. He added a G1
zoning would not deny the reasonable use a the property or devalue it beyond development
Commissioner Reem questioned whether property south of 65th Avenue to I694, between
Willow Lane and Highway 252, could be rezoned. The Secretary explained it could be
included if the Commission so desires. The Planning Commission discussed access options
to this area. The Secretary indicated the City would discourage using Willow Lane for
access to this property.
10-14-93 14 93 8
Commissioner Reem asserted the Atkins family has the right to sell this property or use it
and she felt rezoning the entire area between 46th and 65th Avenues, rather than dividing
it into parcels, will enhance the property.
Chair Pro Tern Holmes supported the previous Commission recommendation following the
SEH study which recommended C -1 in this area. He also indicated support for allowing
some flexibility in combining the development of expanded areas with a PUD process.
Commissioner Johnson questioned the City's intention for the R -5 property they currently
own on the west wide of Willow Lane adjacent to the Atkin's property. The Secretary
explained demolition bids arc being obtained and the property will probably be held until
it can be included in a plan to redevelop the block.
The Secretary reviewed the letter received from Tom Kouri indicating the neighborhood
resident's overwhelming approval for the denial of the Holiday Superstation's application,
the moratorium period and their desire to play a meaningful role with the City in the
formulation of this comprehensive study.
The Secretary informed the Planning Commission of the public hearing, mailed notice and
publication process involved with this request. He pointed out that a Comprehensive Plan
amendment process will also need to be undertaken if the intent is to rezone to something
other than the current C -2.
Commissioner Willson suggested public hearing notices also be sent to residents who have
been in attendance at meetings, regardless of whether or not they are within the required
350 foot area.
1- Kovn urged the Planning Commission to not dismiss the possibility of having a lower
uensity residential use, such as R -1, along Willow Lane, He asserted there are a lot of very
nice homes next to freeways with berms to screen traffic. He stated neighborhood residents
are interested in becoming involved in the process before a decision is made.
Rod Snyder, 6408 Willow Lane, stated if people can afford to build away from freeways they
will, but a berm such as located along Highway 252 blocks out the freeway traffic. He added
the Secretary provided compelling reasons to consider C -1 but he hoped the Commission
would not dismiss the potential for R-Itz He asserted the same test to determine a
reasonable use would be strong for R -1 since abutting property is R -1. He suggested a
realtor and developer be hired to make an assessment of uses for this property.
Commissioner Johnson pointed out the City has already hired experts in land use when the
SEH Study was completed, and none of the studies have indicated R -1 was a reasonable use.
He added the Commission did previously discuss the potential for having townhouses on the
east side (facing Willow Lane) and commercial on the west side (facing Highway 252).
10 -14 -93 9
Commissioner Reem added zoning the area west of Willow Lane as residential results in
shifting the problem to the next tier of residences.
The Secretary pointed out that R -1 would not work based on economics and the costs
involved in acquiring property, demolishing and clearing the land, and building new
single- family homes on minimum sized lots are prohibitive.
Mr. Kouri stated residences along Willow Lane would have a partial view of the River and
be very close to the trail way. He added this is a desirable area and he feels people will be
willing to build fairly expensive homes in this area.
Chair Pro Tern Holmes stated based on the history of this matter and previous studies, he
supports rezoning of the area between both and 65th Avenues, from Willow Lane to
Highway 252 to C -1.
Commissioner Johnson concurred stating he does not feel a rezoning to R -1 would be
supported if the action was challenged and went to court.
Commissioner Willson stated at this point in time C -1 is the most reasonable zoning and the
process of looking at this property will continue depending on projects that are submitted.
He indicated support of rezoning the mentioned area to C -1 but does not want to rule out
any debate at the public hearing about a residential zoning,
The Secretary stated he understands the resident's desire to have residential along Willow
Lane, however he did not feet this was a reasonable expectation due to economics. He
added the public hearing would be an appropriate time for residents and others to submit
compelling arguments to consider another zoning classification.
Moved by Commissioner Willson and seconded by Commissioner Reem to direct staff to
prepare, published and mailed public hearing notices that the Planning Commission will
conduct a hearing on November 18, 1993, to consider the rezoning of the property south of
66th Avenue to 65th Avenue between Willow Lane and Highway 252, from C-2 to C -1.
Voting in favor; Chair Pro Tem Holmes, Commissioners Hilstrom, Johnson, Reem and
Willson. Voting against: none. The motion passed,
.OTHER BUSINESS
The Secretary reported the next Planning Commission agenda will include a request for
Rezoning and Comprehensive Plan amendment, and a request for Preliminary Plat approval
involving a Planned Unit Development proposed for Brookdale Chrysler.
Commissioner Reem questioned the activity taking place at 65th Avenue and 694. The
Secretary explained soil borings were being conducted,
10 -14 -93 10
Commissioner Reem announced the Council will be holding a meeting on October 25, 1993,
and one of the topics will be the MTC Park and Ride Lot. The Secretary provided a brief
update on this project.
Commissioner Reem questioned the sign change at the Holiday Station located at 69th
Avenue and Brooklyn Boulevard. The Secretary explained the owner is no longer involved
with the Holiday Company and the gas station is now with Mobile. He added the station
owner has not moved forward with the previously approved plans for the car wash expansion.
Commissioner Hilstrom questioned progress being made with the Wendy's Restaurant. Ile
Secretary explained asbestos was discovered during the demolition of the building which
resulted in a delay, however, they will be moving forward shortly.
Commissioner Reem asked when the next Brooklyn Boulevard Task Force meeting will be
held and requested advanced notification. The Secretary indicated he will check with Brad
Hoffman to determine the next meeting date.

formation Sheet
Application No.: 93012
Applicant: Robert C. Ryan
Location: 6700 Brooklyn Boulevard
Request: Special Use Permit/Site and Building Plan Approval
The applicant (Mr. Richard Haluptsok, Architect for Robert C. Ryan) is seeking site and
building approval and a special use permit to construct a small addition to the Ryan Olds
dealership at 6700 Brooklyn Boulevard. The property in question is zoned C2 and the sale
of motor vehicles at retail is a special use in that zoning district. The subject site is located
at the northeast quadrant of Brooklyn Boulevard and I -94. It is surrounded on the north by
Brookdale Dodge (formerly Northstar Dodge) ; on the east by Victoria Townhouses and four
single family residences facing Grimes Ave.; on the south by the off ramp leading from I -94
to Brooklyn Boulevard; and on the west by Brooklyn Boulevard with Iten Chevrolet located
across Brooklyn Boulevard from the site. The proposal calls for an 8 by 20 addition
containing a main floor and mezzanine to the westerl of the existing y portion service building
and an approximate 30' by 48' addition to the easterly r rear portion of the exist
y ( ) ui
P
b
service building. The purpose of the additions are to remodel, relocate and /or P rovide new
customer waiting areas, rest room, cashier, employee lounge, locker room and rest room
area as well as parts storage. No other alterations or changes are being proposed for this
6.47 acre site.
Generally, the City takes the opportunity to assure compliance with current zoning and site
requirements when additions are made to existing properties. The last major addition to
Ryan Olds was in 1981 when they moved in a used car sales building and made an addition
to the then existing new car sales building.
Because this site is over five acres, review by the Shingle Creek Watershed Management
Commission and compliance with their development regulations is required. Ponding ki and/or
control over the rate and water quality of run -off is a concern. The City is also looking at
Brooklyn Boulevard enhancements and there is a high g probability that Brooklyn Boulevard
ma be widened dened and median and access improvements may Y
be made in the relatively near
may future which affect this site a
Y swell. W i
e are therefore reluctant to insist on additional
tional
improvements mprovements at this time.
ACCESS /PARKING
Access to the site is unchanged and the additions do not generate a need for any additional
parking. The addition to the rear is for parts storage. Expansion of the service bays would
conflict with the zoning ordinance provisions that do not allow automotive repair to abut R1,
R2 or R3 zoned property, at a property line. The Ryan Olds property does abut both R1 and
R3 property along their east property line. That area currently contains an existing screen
10 -14 -93 _1_
Application No. 93012 continued
fence. It should be noted that the expansion to the front of the building still leaves minimum
24' wide driving lanes in this area. Also, no parking is eliminated or displaced by the
additions. We are not aware of any on site parking deficiencies and, therefore, are
recommending no alterations.
GRADING /DRAINAGE /UTILITIES
No changes are proposed to this site with respect to grading, drainage and utilities. The City
Engineer is preparing written comments relating to this proposal. As mentioned previously,
Watershed approval is required and compliance with Watershed regulations is expected. The
nature
of ossi
p bly changes in the area may be reason for not requiring major alterations at
this time. The
applicant and staff will need to pursue this with the Watershed Commission.
Compliance with Watershed regulations is expected and we recommend that formal written
acknowledgement of this be provided by the applicant prior to the issuance of building
permits for this project.
LANDSCAPING
The applicant has submitted a plan showing existing landscaping on the site and how it meets
with the City's landscape point system. This 6.24 acre site requires a total of 415 landscape
points. The existing landscaping provides 421.5 points but 390 of those points are because
of existing shade trees. Our point system does not allow more than 50% of the total number
of points to be in shade trees (see copy of the landscape point system attached). The site is
given credit for 242.
t 5 mints requiring an additional 172.5 points. In such a case we would
normally require additional landscaping made up of coniferous trees, decorative trees and
shrubs to meet the point deficit. The Commission may wish to waive this again in light of
the Brooklyn Boulevard enhancement study. The area where we would most likely look for
additional landscaping would be along the Brooklyn Boulevard greenstrip which may be
affected by the Brooklyn Boulevard enhancement study.
BUILDING
The applicant has provided building elevations showing the addition. They propose to have
the addition match the existing building materials.
SPECIAL USE PERMIT STANDARDS
A public hearing is scheduled for this special use permit and notices have been sent.
Attached for the Commission's review is
a co of

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No: 93013
Applicant: Bruce Carland, on behalf of CSM Corporation
Location: 3200 County Road 10
Request: Site and Building Plan Approval
The applicant is requesting site and building plan approval for a 23,250 square foot one story
office building at 3200 County Road 10. The property is question is zoned ClA and is bounded
on the north by single family residential homes: on the east by Honeywell Credit Union and
Northway Drive; on the south by County Road 10; and on the west by the five story Brooklyn
Crossing office building. Office buildings, including office buildings with no height limitation,
are permitted uses in this zoning district.
The site in question contains two existing one story office building, one is 7,200 square feet and
the other is 8,400 square feet. These two one story office buildings were part of a five building
office complex which was approved for this site in 1986 under Planning Commission Application
No. 86025. Since the approval of that application, the current owners have proposed a new land
configuration and reduced the size of one of the three remaining office building pads from 8,400
square feet to 6,000 square feet. This was comprehended under Planning Commission
Application No. 90024 which consisted of a preliminary plat shifting the west property line of
this site in order to accommodate some medical usage of the five story Brooklyn Crossing office
building and some medical occupancy of the existing one story office buildings on this site.
(Note: Medical office space requires a greater parking requirement than does regular office-
space -one space for every 150 square feet of gross floor area as opposed to one space for every
200 square feet of gross floor area for non - medical office space).
The three northerly one story office buildings approved under Planning Commission Application
No. 86025 will now be replaced by a single 23,250 square foot one story office building which
is proposed to be built.and house the IRS which is currently located in Brooklyn Center.
ACCESS /PARKING
The primary access to the site is from a 30' wide driveway located to the south of the proposed
new building. This access is a shared access with the five story Brooklyn Crossing office
building to the west, as well as the two one story office buildings to the south. Another access
to the site from Northway Drive is located easterly of the proposed new building. A driveway
around the north side of the new building connects to the parking lot located to the west. Joint
access arrangements have been previously executed between these properties providing access
between the sites. No access is gained from Brooklyn Boulevard nor from County Road 10.
As with past approvals, Hennepin County has no intention of allowing any accesses to these sites
from either Brooklyn Boulevard or County Road 10. These type access arrangements have been
prohibited since the original approvals for office development of this site going back to 1981.
Parking is perhaps the biggest concern with respect to this new development proposal. As
indicated previously, in 1990 the applicant proposed to replat the two sites (Brooklyn Crossing
five story office building site and the site for the five one story office buildings) to accommodate
parking for medical occupancies in the buildings. That plat was not filed, however, the
applicants are now proceeding to file that plat. Certain medical space limitations have been filed
as deed restrictions to the properties and should continue as they are still in effect today.
Parking for the site under consideration must meet these needs as well as the needs for the new
23,000 plus square foot building proposed under this application.
A review of the parking formulas for this site indicate that the southwesterly building may have
up to 1,000 square feet devoted to medical uses with the remaining 7,400 square feet limited to
general office uses. Forty four parking spaces are required on the site for this existing building
(1,000 square feet divided by 150 equals 7, and 7,400 square feet divided by 200 equals 37).
The southeasterly building has no medical uses and is required to have 36 parking spaces (7,200
square feet divided by 200). Parking for the new 23,250 square foot building is based on the
reduced parking formula of GFA divided by GFA times .0005 plus 190 or 115 parking spaces.
A total of 195 parking spaces is, therefore, required. The proposed plan shows on site parking
for 190 or a shortage of 5 parking spaces. The applicant proposes to offset this by providing
a proof of parking plan showing how the site can be modified to provide the required 195
parking spaces. Additional stalls can be realized on the north side of the site by shortening the
length of the parking rows west of the new building . The applicant would be required to enter
into a proof of parking agreement with the City acknowledging their responsibility to install the
required parking spaces upon a determination by the City that they are needed.
GRADING /DRAINAGE /UTILITIES
The City Engineer is reviewing the submitted plans for grading, drainage and utilities.
Generally, the plans are unchanged from that approved in 1986 for the five one story buildings
other than altering the location for new utility lines to the building. Drainage and grading are
basically the same as they were in 1986. The size of the site under consideration is
approximately 4.17 acres. Watershed Commission review is not required because the size of
this site is under five acres. The City Engineer is preparing written comments relating to his
review of the proposed plans.
One thing we have noticed is the property line separating the two properties is in error on the
site drawings submitted. The lot line should actually be about 24 feet easterly of where it is
shown on the site plans based on the survey and plat drawings submitted. This does not alter
the report as the information provided is based on the proper location of the property line.
However, the site plans should be changed to indicate the proper location of this property line.
10 -14 -93

LANDSCAPING
Landscaping is a continuation of the plans submitted in 1986 but altered to accommodate the new
building and its location. Four hundred and forty landscape points are required for this four plus
acre site. A Sugar Maple, Red Maple, Little Leaf Linden, and a Flowering Dogwood are
proposed to be planted in a grouping along with ten Purple Leaf Sand Cherries along the south
side of the building. The plan calls for six Little Leaf Linden along the northside of the
building. Planting areas containing a Red Maple surrounded by Purple Leaf Sand Cherries and
Pfitzer Junipers are located on either side of the walkway leading from the west side of the
building. Four Red Maple g p are located east of the parking lot and a Red Maple, a Little Leaf
Linden and a Flowering Dogwood are at the southeast corner of the building close to the east
entrance to the site from Northway Drive.
BUILDING
The building exterior will be a face brick to match the existing buildings with a prefinished
metal coping along the top with anodized aluminum window frames and solar bronze glazing.
Building accesses are two on south side of building and one each on east and west side of the
building. A trash enclosure is to be located at northeast corner of the site.
RECOMMENDATION
All and all the plans seem to be in order and approval of this application is recommended subject
to the following conditions:
1. Building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building Official with
respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits.
2. Grading, drainage, and utility plans are subject to review and approval by the
City Engineer prior y g p or to issuance of permits.
3. The site performance agreement currently being held for the completion of site
improvements shall be continued to comprehend any and all site improvements
comprehended by this application.
4. An outside trash
disposal o facilities r
Y sand rooftop mechanical equipment p p eq pment shall be
appropriately screened from view.
5. The building is to be equipped with automatic fire extinguishing system to meet
NFPA standards and shall be connected to a central monitoring device in
accordance with Chapter 5 of the City Ordinances.
6. Under ground irrigation system shall be installed in all g Y landscaped areas to

Recommendation
The Planning Commission recommended approval of this application subject to the conditions
and considerations listed in the October 14, 1993 Planning Commission minutes.
•
S
Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No.: 93012
Applicant: Robert C. Ryan
Location: 6700 Brooklyn Boulevard
Request: Special Use Permit/Site and Building Plan Approval
The applicant (Mr. Richard Haluptsok, Architect for Robert C. Ryan) is seeking site and
building approval and a special use permit to construct a small addition to the Ryan Olds
dealership at 6700 Brooklyn Boulevard. The property in question is zoned C2 and the sale
of motor vehicles at retail is a special use in that zoning district. The subject site is located
at the northeast quadrant of Brooklyn Boulevard and I -94. It is surrounded on the north by
Brookdale Dodge (formerly Northstar Dodge) ; on the east by Victoria Townhouses and four
single family residences facing Grimes Ave.; on the south by the off ramp leading from I -94
to Brooklyn Boulevard; and on the west by Brooklyn Boulevard with Iten Chevrolet located
across Brooklyn Boulevard from the site. The proposal calls for an 8' by 20' addition
containing a main floor and mezzanine to the westerly portion of the existing service building
and an approximate 30' by 48' addition to the easterly (or rear) portion of the existing
service building. The purpose of the additions are to remodel, relocate and /or provide new
customer waiting areas, rest room, cashier, employee lounge, locker room and rest room
area as well as parts storage. No other alterations or changes are being proposed for this
6.47 acre site.
Generally, the City takes the opportunity to assure compliance with current zoning and site
requirements when additions are made to existing properties. The last major addition to
Ryan Olds was in 1981 when they moved in a used car sales building and made an addition
to the then existing new car sales building.
Because this site is over five acres, review by the Shingle Creek Watershed Management
Commission and compliance with their development regulations is required. Ponding and /or
control over the rate and water quality of run -off is a concern. The City is also looking at
Brooklyn Boulevard enhancements and there is a high probability that Brooklyn Boulevard
may be widened and median and access improvements may be made in the relatively near
future which may affect this site as well. We are, therefore, reluctant to insist on additional
site improvements at this time.
ACCESS /PARKING
Access to the site is unchanged and the additions do not generate a need for any additional
parking. The addition to the rear is for parts storage. Expansion of the service bays would
conflict with the zoning ordinance provisions that do not allow automotive repair to abut Rl,
R2 or R3 zoned property, at a property line. The Ryan Olds property does abut both Rl and
R3 property along their east property line. That area currently contains an existing screen
10 -14 -93 _1_

Application No. 93012 continued
fence. It should be noted that the expansion to the front of the building still leaves minimum
24' wide driving lanes in this area. Also, no parking is eliminated or displaced by the
additions. We are not aware of any on site parking deficiencies and, therefore, are
recommending no alterations.
GRADING /DRAINAGE /UTILITIES
No changes are proposed to this site with respect to grading, drainage and utilities. The City
Engineer is preparing written comments relating to this proposal. As mentioned previously,
Watershed approval is required and compliance with Watershed regulations is expected. The
nature of possibly changes in the area may be reason for not requiring major alterations at
this time. The applicant and staff will need to pursue this with the Watershed Commission.
Compliance with Watershed regulations is expected and we recommend that formal written
acknowledgement of this be provided b the e a licant
prior to the i
P e ssuan o
Y PP P issuance f building
permits for this project.
LANDSCAPING
The applicant has submitted a plan showing existing landscaping on the site and how it meets
with the City's landscape point system. This 6.24 acre site requires a total of 415 landscape
points. The existing landscaping provides 421.5 points but 390 of those points are because
of existing shade trees. Our point system does not allow more than 50% of the total number
of points to be in shade trees (see copy of the landscape point system attached). The site is
given credit for 242.5 points requiring an additional 172.5 points. In such a case we would
normally require additional landscaping made up of coniferous trees, decorative trees and
shrubs to meet the point deficit. The Commission may wish to waive this again in light of
the Brooklyn Boulevard enhancement study. The area where we would most likely look for
additional landscaping would be along the Brooklyn Boulevard greenstrip which may be
affected by the Brooklyn Boulevard enhancement study.
BUILDING
The applicant has provided building elevations showing the addition. They propose to have
the addition match the existing building matetlals.
SPECIAL USE PERMIT STANDARDS
A public hearing is scheduled for this special use permit and notices have been sent.
Attached for the Commission's review is a copy of section 35 -220 containing the five
standards for special use permits. We do not find any conflicts with the standards for special
use permits given the site plan and proposal submitted by the applicant.
10 -14 -93 -2-
Application No. 93012 continued
RECOMMENDATION
All together we believe the plans and special use permit appear to be in order. Approval is,
therefore, recommended subject to at least the following conditions:
1. Building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building Official with
respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits.
2. Grading, draining and utility plans are subject to review by the City Engineer
prior to the issuance of permits.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached
Planning Commission Application No. 93013 submitted by CSM Corporation is a request for site
and building plan approval to construct a 23,250 square foot one -story office building at 3200
County Road 10. This application was considered by the Planning Commissiion on October 14,
1993.
Attached for the Council's review are minutes and information sheets from that meeting, an area
map showing the location of the subject site and site plans.
Recommendation
The Planning Commission recommended approval of this application subject to the conditions
and considerations listed in the October 14, 1993 Planning Commission minutes.
Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No: 93013
Applicant: Bruce Carland, on behalf of CSM Corporation
Location: 3200 County Road 10
Request: Site and Building Plan Approval
The applicant is requesting site and building plan approval for a 23,250 square foot one story
office building at 3200 County Road 10. The property is question is zoned C1A and is bounded
on the north by single family residential homes: on the east by Honeywell Credit Union and
Northway Drive; on the south by County Road 10; and on the west by the five story Brooklyn
Crossing office building. Office buildings, including office buildings with no height limitation,
are permitted uses in this zoning district.
The site in question contains two existing one story office building, one is 7,200 square feet and
the other is 8,400 square feet. These two one story office buildings were part of a five building
office complex which was approved for this site in 1986 under Planning Commission Application
No. 86025. Since the approval of that application, the current owners have proposed a new land
configuration and reduced the size of one of the three remaining office building pads from 8,400
square feet to 6,000 square feet. This was comprehended under Planning Commission
Application No. 90024 which consisted of a preliminary plat shifting the west property line of
this site in order to accommodate some medical usage of the five story Brooklyn Crossing office
building and some medical occupancy of the existing one story office buildings on this site.
(Note: Medical office space requires a greater parking requirement than does regular office -
space -one space for every 150 square feet of gross floor area as opposed to one space for every
200 square feet of gross floor area for non - medical office space).
The three northerly one story office buildings approved under Planning Commission Application
No. 86025 will now be replaced by a single 23,250 square foot one story office building which
is proposed to be built and house the IRS which is currently located in Brooklyn Center.
ACCESS /PARKING
The primary access to the site is from a 30' wide driveway located to the south of the proposed
new building. This access is a shared access with the five story Brooklyn Crossing office
building to the west, as well as the two one story office buildings to the south. Another access
to the site from Northway Drive is located easterly of the proposed new building. A driveway
around the north side of the new building connects to the parking lot located to the west. Joint
access arrangements have been previously executed between these properties providing access
between the sites. No access is gained from Brooklyn Boulevard nor from County Road 10.
As with past approvals, Hennepin County has no intention of allowing any accesses to these sites
from either Brooklyn Boulevard or County Road 10. These type access arrangements have been
prohibited since the original approvals for office development of this site going back to 1981.
Parking is perhaps the biggest concern with respect to this new development proposal. As
indicated previously, in 1990 the applicant proposed to replat the two sites (Brooklyn Crossing
five story office building site and the site for the five one story office buildings) to accommodate
parking for medical occupancies in the buildings. That plat was not filed, however, the
applicants are now proceeding to file that plat. Certain medical space limitations have been filed
as deed restrictions to the properties and should continue as they are still in effect today.
Parking for the site under consideration must meet these needs as well as the needs for the new
23,000 plus square foot building proposed under this application.
A review of the parking formulas for this site indicate that the southwesterly building may have
up to 1,000 square feet devoted to medical uses with the remaining 7,400 square feet limited to
general office uses. Forty four parking spaces are required on the site for this existing building
(1,000 square feet divided by 150 equals 7, and 7,400 square feet divided by 200 equals 37).
The southeasterly building has no medical uses and is required to have 36 parking spaces (7,200
square feet divided by 200). Parking for the new 23,250 square foot building is based on the
reduced parking formula of GFA divided by GFA times .0005 plus 190 or 115 parking spaces.
A total of 195 parking spaces is, therefore, required. The proposed plan shows on site parking
for 190 or a shortage of 5 parking spaces. The applicant proposes to offset this by providing
a proof of parking plan showing how the site can be modified to provide the required 195
parking spaces. Additional stalls can be realized on the north side of the site by shortening the
length of the parking rows west of the new building . The applicant would be required to enter
into a proof of parking agreement with the City acknowledging their responsibility to install the
required parking spaces upon a determination by the City that they are needed.
GRADING /DRAINAGE /UTILITIES
The City Engineer is reviewing the submitted plans for grading, drainage and utilities.
Generally, the plans are unchanged from that approved in 1986 for the five one story buildings
other than altering the location for new utility lines to the building. Drainage and grading are
basically the same as they were in 1986. The size of the site under consideration is
approximately 4.17 acres. Watershed Commission review is not required because the size of
this site is under five acres. The City Engineer is preparing written comments relating to his
review of the proposed plans.
One thing we have noticed is the property line separating the two properties is in error on the
site drawings submitted. The lot line should actually be about 24 feet easterly of where it is
shown on the site plans based on the survey and plat drawings submitted. This does not alter
the report as the information provided is based on the proper location of the property line.
However, the site plans should be changed to indicate the proper location of this property line.

LANDSCAPING
Landscaping is a continuation of the plans submitted in 1986 but altered to accommodate the new
building and its location. Four hundred and forty landscape points are required for this four plus
acre site. A Sugar Maple, Red Maple, Little Leaf Linden, and a Flowering Dogwood are
proposed to be planted in a grouping along with ten Purple Leaf Sand Cherries along the south
side of the building. The plan calls for six Little Leaf Linden along the northside of the
building. Planting areas containing a Red Maple surrounded by Purple Leaf Sand Cherries and
Pfitzer Junipers are located on either side of the walkway leading from the west side of the
building. Four Red Maple are located east of the parking lot and a Red Maple, a Little Leaf
Linden and a Flowering Dogwood are at the southeast corner of the building close to the east
entrance to the site from Northway Drive.
BUILDING
The building exterior will be a face brick to match the existing buildings with a prefinished
metal coping along the top with anodized aluminum window frames and solar bronze glazing.
Building accesses are two on south side of building and one each on east and west side of the
building. A trash enclosure is to be located at northeast corner of the site.

DISCUSSION ITEM
A Moratorium and City Council diregtion to hold rezoning November
1993.
The Secretary informed the Planning Commission that the City Council has directed the
Planning Commission to hold a public hearing on November 18, 1993 to consider the
rezoning of property south of 66th Avenue and north of I -694, between WHIow Lane and
Highway 252,
The Secretary provided an in -depth review of recent Council action resulting in this direction
and the short time schedule allowed. He explained the Planning Commission's
recommendation should be available for Council consideration at their Dcccmber 13, 1993,
meeting in order to meet the end of January expiration of the moratorium. He added this
matter should be handled as quickly as reasonable to avoid delay.
Commissioner Hilstrom questioned the possible restriction on commercial development
along the River. The Secretary explained that a meeting had been held with persons from
the Department of the Interior National Park Service regarding that proposed legislation
and they indicated their concern if development is within Sa0 feet of the ordinary high water
mark or within 100 feet of the bluff line. He added he is not sure whether the area under
consideration falls within these parameters..
The Secretary reported he asked representatives of the National Park Service if the
proposed legislation would specifically prohibit commercial development within this area.
They said it did not and left decisions of this type up to the local zoning authority. He
added the National Park Service encourages the acquisition and development of park areas
along this area of the River, however, Brooklyn Center has already provided a lot of open
public space along the River.

INTERIM ORDINANCE FOR THE PURPOSE OF
PROTECTING THE PLANNING PROCESS AND THE
HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE RESIDENTS OF
THE CITY, AND REGULATING AND RESTRICTING
DEVELOPMENT ON ALL LAND SOUTH OF 66TH AVENUE
AND NORTH OF I -694 LYING BETWEEN WILLOW LANE
AND HIGHWAY 252.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Background
1.01. In connection with the consideration of an application for rezoning and
permits for development of a portion of the property affected by this
ordinance, City staff, consultants, Planning Commission, the Northeast
Neighborhood Advisory Group and the City Council reviewed the
existing and potential development in the area. As a result of that
review process, the Council determined that the current land use
controls did not adequately address various land use concerns in the
area. Among these concerns were inadequate or inappropriate
buffering of nearby residential uses, nonconforming uses, zoning
ordinances which were not consistent with the City's Comprehensive
Land Use Plan, insufficient or hazardous traffic circulation, changes
in land use and roadways which occurred since current zoning controls
were adopted, and adjacent or nearby land uses or potential uses which
were not compatible with permitted uses or special uses in the affected
area.
1.02. The Council determined that there was a need for further studies to be
conducted so that the City could adopt appropriate amendments to its
Comprehensive Plan and zoning code so as to ensure protection of the
public health, safety and welfare. The Council directed that such
studies be undertaken.
1.03. Studies and amendments to the City code which were considered in
connection with earlier reviews of the official controls applicable to the
affected area were not acted upon by the City Council.
CLL58949
BR291 -43
1.04. As a result of consideration of an application for a special use permit for
a filling station and car wash on a portion of the property affected by
this ordinance, the Council has determined that the current zoning of
the affected area is not, or may not be, appropriate or sufficient to
protect the public health, safety or welfare for a number of reasons.
These reasons include, but are not limited to, the following:
a. The proposed use would have unacceptably adverse impacts on
surrounding uses because of 24 hour activity, noise, lights,
glare and traffic.
b . Such adverse impacts cannot be adequately mitigated by site
design or improvements.
c. Many of these adverse impacts would result from permitted uses
as well as special uses under current zoning.
1.05. A hearing has been scheduled for the purpose of considering
amendment of the Comprehensive Plan and zoning code.
1.06. The Council has therefore determined that there is a need for an interim
ordinance to be adopted for the purpose of protecting the planning
process and the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City
and ensuring that the City and its citizens retain the benefits of, and
protection sought to be afforded by, the City's Comprehensive Plan and
zoning ordinances until such hearing is held, and any modifications to
the City's Comprehensive Plan and zoning and land use regulations are
effective.
Section 2. Determination
2.01. This interim ordinance shall apply to all property south of 66th Avenue
and north of I -694 between Willow Lane and Highway 252 (the subject
area).
2.02. During the period this interim ordinance is in effect, no property within
the subject area may be developed, redeveloped, nor shall any site plan
approvals, rezonings, licenses (other than renewals), plattings or
replattings, land divisions or consolidations, special use permits or
building permits be issued by the City for any use.
2.03. This ordinance shall remain in effect until or such
earlier date as may be adopted by the City Council, provided that if the
consideration and adoption of amendments to the City's Comprehensive
Plan and zoning code are not effective by the end of such period, this
ordinance may be extended for such additional periods as are deemed
necessary by the City Council and as are permitted by law.
Section 3. Applicability
3.01. This ordinance applies to any application for site plan approvals,
rezonings, licenses, plattings or replattings, land divisions or
CLL58949
BR291 -43 2
consolidations, special use permits or building permits that have not
received preliminary approval by the City Council before the effective
date of this ordinance.
Section 4. Effective Date
4.01. This
ordinance shall become effective after adoption and upon thirty
P P Y
(30) days following its legal publication.
Adopted this day of 1993.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached )
• The city ouncil is being asked to approve the purchase of two ergonomically designed chairs for
tY g PP P g Y g
employees who have worker's compensation claims filed with the City related to injuries and /or
pain related to performing job duties at their computer workstations.
As the council is already aware, the City's employee safety committee is very concerned about the
increase in the number of employee concerns and worker's compensation claims related to
repetitive motion injuries, soft tissue injuries and back problems caused by inappropriate
workstations for computer users.
The council has already given preliminary consideration to upgrading workstations throughout city
offices and is awaiting a more detailed proposal from city staff. However, due to the immediate
needs of the affected employees and at the recommendation of the safety committee, the council
is being asked to approve purchase of these chairs now in order to reduce any future liability the
City would have related to the worker's compensation claims.
The employees involved in this request are the assessing technician and data entry operator
(finance department); both employees are heavy computer users. The cost of each adjustable chair
is approximately $500.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION Approve A Resolution Amending the 1993
General Fund Budget for the Purchase of Two Ergonomically Designed Chairs.
Member introduced the following resolution and
moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION AMENDING THE 1993 GENERAL FUND BUDGET FOR
THE PURCHASE OF TWO ERGONOMICALLY DESIGNED CHAIRS
WHEREAS, the City of Brooklyn Center Employee Safety Committee has
endorsed the philosophy of purchasing ergonomically designed equipment for employees

MANAGER'S REVIEW /RECOMMENDATION: -

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached YES )
Street and Utility Dept. personnel have indicated the need for replacement and
repair to the City's storm drainage system at two locations; near 1120 -69th Ave.
and at 5533 James Ave. These recommended replacements and repairs are beyond the
scope of normal maintenance that city forces usually perform.
The existing 18" clay the storm sewer at 1120 -69th Ave. has been damaged over
the years by the invasion of roots from a large tree nearby. Although the tree
has recently been removed, the roots remain in the open joints, and the pipe
clogs easily. It is recommended that an approximately 80 foot long segment of
the pipe be replaced at this time.
Also, it is recommended that a manhole be constructed over an existing 18"
diameter storm drainage line near 5533 James Avenue North. The excessive
distance ( ±700 feet) between the existing manholes on this line makes it
impossible for the Public Works Dept. personnel to jet -clean this line with City -
owned equipment. Construction of a manhole approximately midway between the
existing manholes will allow city personnel to maintain this storm drainage line
by normal methods.
The City Engineer has received the following proposal for the above - described
storm sewer work:
Bidder Bid
Metro Utilities, Inc. $ 8,180.00
• The Engineer's Estimate for the work was $8,080.00, or $100 less than was
proposed by Metro. It noted that three local, familiar utility contractors
were originally solicited for quotes for this work. Metro was the only firm
which
responded; the other her two firms indicated that they were simply too busy at
this time of year to honestly take on more work.
Staff recommends acceptance of the proposal of Metro Utilities, Inc. for the
following reasons: 1) the difference between their bid and the Engineer's
Estimate is not significant, 2) it has been recommended that the work be done as
soon as possible, and we are running out of time in this construction season, and
3) Metro Utilities, Inc. has satisfactorily completed work of this type in
Brooklyn Center recently, and maintain a good working relationship with City
staff.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
A resolution which accepts the proposal of Metro Utilities, Inc., for Improvement
Project 1993 -25, Storm Sewer Repairs at 69th Ave. No. and James Ave. No., is
attached for consideration.

No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached
SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached No
• The Council has periodically reviewed the overall costs of the 69th Avenue
project, and amended the estimated cost of the total improvement project
accordingly.
With the completion of right of way acquisition, and phases one and two of
roadway construction, it is appropriate to review this cost and establish a
better estimate of the overall cost of the project.
The October, 1993 estimate of the overall cost of the project is $7,232,100,
compared to $7,645,920 in December, 1992. This overall reduction is primarily
due to a reduction in the amount reserved for contingencies. With the completion
of the bulk of the road and utility work, the contingency reserve now applies
only to phase three road and watermain construction, and the various landscaping
projects.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
A resolution amending the cost estimate for improvement project 1990 -10, 69th
Avenue construction, is attached for Council consideration.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached YES )
• On October 12, 1993, the City Council authorized staff to solicit proposals for
the provision of topographic survey information necessary for the evaluation of
the feasibility of street, utility and sidewalk improvements along 73rd Avenue
North, between Humboldt Avenue and T.H. 252. Accordingly, the City Engineer has
received proposals from the following qualified land surveyors:
Firm Proposal Amount
MSA Consulting Engineers $2,200
Westwood Professional Services, Inc. $3,200
Cherrier Land Surveyors, Inc. $3,214
The lowest proposal submitted is that of MSA Consulting Engineers, of St. Paul,
for the amount of $2,200.00. MSA has a significant amount of recent, local
experience in this field, and has worked with the City of Brooklyn Center on
previous improvement projects, and accordingly, staff recommends acceptance of
the proposal from MSA Consulting Engineers.
NOTE: The costs attributable to the hiring of this surveyor shall be split
between the Cities of Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
A resolution which accepts the proposal of MSA Consulting Engineers for the
provision of topographical survey information relevant to 73rd Ave. No. is
