The Director of Planning & Inspection stated that the application was reviewed by the Commission and tabled at its February 13,1986 meeting in order to 3 -24 -86 -9- give staff time to obtain and review the State licensing regulations for home day care facilities. He stated that day care is an allowed home occupation for R3 zoned property. He noted that State licensing regulations allow up to ten children but City ordinance only allows up to five children including the resident children in R3 zones. The Director of Planning & Inspection stated that in Mr. Worwa's appeal it was noted that his townhouse is larger than his previous detached home and that he is near more open space than in his previous home. The Director of Planning & Inspection stated that the ordinance amendment submitted this evening would meet State mandates for R1 zones, which is 12 children; would allow five children not including the resident children, in R2 and R3 zones; and would not affect the R4 zones at all. Councilmember Hawes asked if there were any State requirements regulating the number of school age children allowed in home day care facilities. The Director of Planning & Inspection stated that the licensing provisions would handle this regulation, not the zoning ordinance. There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Theis to deny Planning Commission Application No. 86004 submitted by Paul Worwa requesting an appeal from a determination that not more than five (5) children, including children of the resident family, may be served in a family day care operation in a townhouse.

The City Manager presented a Resolution Authorizing the Participation in Any Retirement Incentive Program Adopted by the City in 1986 to Those Employees Who Retire in 1986 Prior to the Adoption of a Program. Mayor Nyquist stated that he was concerned by the fact that this resolution may be misleading and may give employees the impression that the Council will be passing a Retirement Incentive Program. The City Manager stated that those employees who will be retiring in 1986 are aware of the fact that the City Council may or may not pass a Retirement Incentive Program. He added that he cannot make any recommendations regarding a Retirement Incentive Program until the Legislature firms up their decisions on the PERA rule of 85 and rule of 90. Mayor Nyquist asked if the program could be made retroactive. The Director of Finance stated that the City 3 -24 -86 -11- Attorney has informed him that the City cannot retroactively reward an employee who has retired. Councilmember Lhotka asked what the time frame was that the staff is looking at. The City Manager stated that staff should be able to- make a recommendation within 30 to 60 days. Councilmember Lhotka asked the City Attorney what the legalities were of this resolution. The City Attorney stated that he had not discussed this particular resolution with the staff. Councilmember Lhotka asked if the City is within their legal rights to pass the resolution. The City Attorney stated that he has not researched the City's legal rights but it is his gut reaction that the City would be safe in passing this resolution. Councilmember Theis stated that he was under the impression that the early Retirement Incentive Program was to reorganize and save the City money. The City Manager stated that the past program and any program -in the future is not an early retirement program but a program which encourages employees to retire when they are eligible for retirement. Councilmember Theis suggested that the third paragraph of the resolution should be changed to include "may or may not consider if . There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to table the resolution authorizing the participation in any Retirement Incentive Program adopted by the City in 1986 to those employees who retire in 1986 prior to the adoption of a program for legal review until the April 3, 1986 City Council meeting.

The motion passed unanimously. REGIONAL PARK FACILITY UPDATE The City Manager briefly reviewed a memorandum which had been sent to the Council and to members of the Park and Recreation Commission. There was a lengthy discussion regarding the feasibility of the regional park and how it would affect the Lyndale area. Councilmember Scott stated that the Brooklyn Center school district is very concerned about this project because it could mean less tax dollars for the district and also less children. She added that a number of people on the commission are not familiar with the Lyndale area at all and that they are making decisions about something which they know nothing about. Councilmember Theis asked if the park board had the money to acquire homes. The City Manager stated that they have approximately two million dollars and that they are setting their priorities for acquiring homes. He noted that first they would buy from any willing sellers on the east or west side of Lyndale, secondly they would acquire property on the east side of Lyndale, and last they would acquire land on the west side of Lyndale. Councilmember Theis asked how the City can protect the residents so that they can continue to live there. The City Manager stated that the ark board p has allowed life tenancy on other park land. Councilmember Lhotka asked what the City can legally do to protect the City and its residents. The City Attorney stated that would depend upon what the City wants to do, whether it be stopping the project totally or only having a partial project. The City Manager stated that until they come out with a final plan the City cannot really react to this.
