Adjournment MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA REGULAR SESSION AUGUST 26, 1991 CITY HALL CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center City Council met in regular session and was called to order by Mayor Todd Paulson at 7:02 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor Todd Paulson, Councilmembers Celia Scott, Jerry Pedlar, Dave Rosene, and Philip Cohen. Also present were City Manager Gerald Splinter, Finance Director Paul HoImlund, Director of Planning and Inspection Ron Warren, City Engineer Mark Maloney, EDA Coordinator Brad Hoffman, Assistant EDA Coordinator Tom Bublitz, Director of Parks and Recreation Arnie Mavis, City Attorney Charlie LeFevere, and Council Secretaries Ann Odden and Peggy McNabb. OPENING CEREMONIES Elaine Bernards offered the invocation. OPEN FORUM Mayor Paulson noted the Council had not received any requests to use the open forum session - this evening. He inquired if there was anyone present who wished to address the Council. There being none, he continued with the regular agenda items. COUNCIL REPORTS Mayor Paulson reported to the Council members, staff and community that several weeks ago he was both reappointed to and elected chair of the Metropolitan Transit Commission. He felt his service on the MTC will provide the City of Brooklyn Center with a good opportunity to do some significant work with transit in Brooklyn Center, and that offering Brooklyn Center as a pilot city in the MTC Opting -In Program would be a good initial step. It will provide an opportunity to mold transit in a way that will best fit the community. He further suggested that transit issues in general be moved up a notch or two in the Council's list of priorities so that they can be addressed while he is serving on the MTC, which may be a year or two. Councilmember Cohen recommended further discussion at this time of participating in the MTC Opting -In Program. Mayor Paulson indicated several past efforts to have the MTC 8/26/91 _ 1 _ s change the City's route structure have been unsuccessful. The Mayor and Council members discussed the need to get riders where they want to go within the City of Brooklyn Center, rather than straight into the downtown area as is the current structure. The Opting -In Program should provide an opportunity to do this type of thing, as well as possibly increasing express service and studying the possibility of a circulator -type or dial -a -ride system within the City. The Council's clear -cut goal is to make transit more convenient for people to use. Mass transit programs are good for the environment, convenient to use, cost effective, and reduce traffic congestion. There is a definite need to promote the incorporation of mass transit into peoples' lifestyles. The MTC Opting -In Program is modeled on the successes of the Opting -Out Program where communities were able to opt out of the MTC system, design their system to best serve the community, and then advertise for bids and implement the desired service design. Mayor Paulson is optimistic about the MTC Opting -In Program and added the MTC staff is also very excited about the program improving transit throughout the metropolitan area. Councilmember Cohen congratulated Mayor Paulson on his reappointment and election as chair of the MTC and noted the Council is very fortunate to have his leadership. Councilmember Cohen asked about the MTC staff working with the City staff to come up with a desirable program. Mayor Paulson indicated the program involves a two -way commitment; both the City and MTC will work together. The MTC's commitment is to be open and flexible and to work with the communities to increase and improve service. The City's commitment is primarily staff time, attention, and innovation in effective transit planning. The MTC plans to initially work with one or two communities at a time. The success of this program will, hopefully, mean Brooklyn Center will spend less money for better service. Councilmember Cohen noted he has been successfully working with five cities on housing and human service issues along with the Metropolitan Council and suggested the MTC may want to consider work in a group that same size. He will provide additional information to Mayor Paulson. RESOLUTION NO. 91 -200 Member Phil Cohen introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION SUPPORTING CONCEPT OF AN MTC OPTING -IN PROGRAM AND OFFERING BROOKLYN CENTER AS A PILOT CITY The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Councilmember Jerry Pedlar, and the motion passed unanimously. 8126/91 -2- APPROVAL, OF AGENDA AND CONSENT AGENDA Mayor Paulson inquired if any Councilmembers requested any items be removed from the consent agenda.

PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 91005 SUBMITTED BY INVESTORS SAVINGS BANK REQUESTING SITE AND BUILDING PLAN APPROVAL TO CONSTRUCT A 9.370 SO. FT. COMBINATION BANK AND OFFICE BUILDING ON THE SITE OF THE OLD GREEN MILL RESTAURANT AT BROOKLYN BOULEVARD The City Manager reviewed the staff report on this agenda item, noting the application was first reviewed and recommended for approval by the Planning Commission at its February 28, 1991, meeting. However, review and approval had been delayed at the applicant's request for re- evaluation. The Director of Planning and Inspection presented and discussed the details of the Investors Savings Bank's slightly modified site and building plan. Investors Savings Bank will occupy 4,000 square feet on the westerly portion of the building; the easterly 4,370 square feet will now be Ieased as retail space, rather than office space as originally proposed. A central vestibule and lobby area will serve as the entrance to the two spaces. Minor alterations at the site include a loading facility along the easterly side of the retail space, as well as some changes to the Iandscaping. Councilmember Rosene expressed thanks and appreciation to the developer for far exceeding the landscaping standards. John Pope, Pope Associates, Inc., and Lyle Henderson, Investors Savings Bank, responded to questions from the Council and staff on the proposal. Councilmember Pedlar raised a discussion on the number of lanes exiting the parking lot on 56th Avenue and expressed a concern about heavy weekend traffic having a difficult time exiting left on 56th Avenue. The Council members and staff discussed the possibility of moving the exit to the south to provide additional distance between the exit and intersection. The City Manager explained it would not be practical to do so, as it is best to keep the accesses and exits on both sides of the road directly across from each other. Mayor Paulson indicated, and the Council members, concurred that this intersection is a very busy, uncontrolled intersection. Councilmember Rosene recommended staff work with the developer to move the exit as far to the south as possible. There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Cohen to approve Planning Commission Application No. 91005 submitted by Investors Savings Bank 8/26/91 -5- subject to the latitude being worked out between the developer and City staff, and also 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, utility and berming plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer, prior to the issuance of permits. 3. A site performance agreement and supporting financial guarantee (in an amount to be determined by the City Manager) shall be submitted prior to the issuance of permits. 4. Any outside trash disposal facilities and rooftop mechanical equipment shall be appropriately screened from view. 5. The building is to be equipped with an 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. An underground irrigation system shall be installed in all landscaped areas to facilitate site maintenance. 7. Plan approval is exclusive of all signe which is subject to Chapter 34 of the City 0 ry J P ty Ordinances. 8. B612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and driving areas. 9. The applicant shall submit an as -built survey of the property, improvements and utility service lines, prior to release of the performance guarantee. 10. The property owner shall enter into an easement and agreement for maintenance and inspection of utility and storm drainage systems prior to the issuance of permits. 11. Traffic control signery on the site shall be subject to review and approval by the Director of Public Works. The motion passed unanimously. PLANNING COMMISSION APP NO. 91013 SUBMITTED BY THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IS A REQUEST FOR SITE AND BUILDING PLAN /SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPROVAL TO REPLACE THE EXISTING LIFT STATION AT 5450 LYNDALE AVENUE NORTH WITH A NEW LIFT STATION ON THE SAME PARCEL AND 8/26/91 -6- PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO 91014 SUBMITTED BY THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER REQUESTING VARIANCES FROM BOTH THE FRONT YARD SETBACK REQUIREM OFF LYNDALE AVENUE AND FROM THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER BLUFF LINE SETBACK IN ORDER TO BUILD A NEW LIFT STATION AT 5450 LYNDALE AVENUE NORTH The City Manager reviewed the staff report on these agenda items. He noted application No. 91013 is a request for site and building plan and special use permit approval to replace the existing lift station at 5450 Lyndale Avenue North with a new lift station on the same parcel, and application No. 91014 is a request for a variance from both the front yard setback requirement off Lyndale Avenue and from the Mississippi River bluff line setback in order to build the new lift station at the same site. Both applications were considered and recommended for approval by the Planning Commission at its August 15, 1991, meeting. The Director of Planning and Inspection presented the layout and details of the site and building plan of a new lift station to be constructed at the site of the existing facility. The main reason for this project is to take care of a serious odor problem that has existed for many years, as well as to upgrade with much- needed newer equipment. The variance request is for two setback requirements: the front yard setback requirement off of Lyndale Avenue North and the Mississippi River Bluff line setback. If the variance is not granted, the property is not buildable, as the setback requirements could not be met. The Planning Commission did believe the standards for the variances were met in this case and did recommend approving a nine -foot setback off of Lyndale and a 27 -foot setback off the bluff line standard. Both the Environmental Quality Board and the County Park Reserve District have been contacted; neither have raised any objections. The location of this new structure does allow space for trailways and bike paths to go through the area. Councilmember Scott commented the odor problem at this site has existed for many, many years and has been considered by the Council many times, but has always been put on the back burner because of cost. She anticipates many grateful residents and thanked the_city engineers for all the work they have done with Short- Elliott and Hendrickson to get this project off the ground. -_ In response to Councilmember Rosene's question on the keystone retaining wall, the City Manager indicated the wall is the same type that was built along Warner Hardware by the golf course, to which the City has received a great deal of positive public response. It is an earthtone- colored block that can be stacked up securely without mortar. In response to Commissioner Rosene's question on the trash disposal facility included on each application, the City Manager indicated it is a standard inclusion in construction projects; and no trash disposal facilities are anticipated at the lift station. 8/26/91 -7- The Director Of Planning and Inspection recommended the Council members consider approving application No. 91014 prior to application No. 91013, as No. 91034 is as a condition in No. 91013. set forth In response to Mayor Paulson's question as to the Councilmember Rosene indicated cost estimates of the the project, cos as ' P J c 10 t, indicated � is $699,000. The City Engineer and Council members cussed s a a g e n da d alternat no. altern atives to building a new station. The City Engineer and Council members concurred that build' the better alternative, as simply repairing it to bring it up to current ode is almoon is by far as costly. a new lift The existing equipmes very old and operating at maximum capacity to serve nt i The City Engineer added this lift station is by far the largest in the city, serving the eastern half of Brooklyn Center. g fire In response to Mayor Paulson's question on the age of the existing lift station, the City Engineer stated it was built in 1955 and upgraded in 1980 or 1981. Councilmember Rosene asked that he be provided with an outline breaking down the costs of constructing the new lift station. In response to Councilmember Pedlar's question as to funding for the project, the City Manager indicated the project would be paid for from the utility fund. Mayor Paulson opened the meeting or the g purpose of a public hearing on Planning Commission Applications Nos. 91014 and 91013. He inquired if there q was anyone who wished to address the Council. There being no response, Mayor Paulson entertained a motion to close the public hearing. There was a motion by Councilmember Pedlar and seconded by Councilmember Rosene to close the public hearing at 8 :29 p.m. The motion passed unanimously. There was a motion by Councilmember Cohen and seconded by Councilmember Rosene to approve Planning Commission Application No. 91014 subject to the following findings-: 1. The variance is necessary for the property to continue to be buildable. Relocation of the lift station is not feasible due to prohibitive costs involved in relocating utilities. 2.

The agreed -upon budget hearing dates roust be published and declared to Hennepin County. Budget work sessions were scheduled for October 29th and November 13th. Councilmember Rosene indicated his parent/teacher conferences will conflict with the proposed November 25th original budget hearing date and asked to be excused. The City Manager indicated the Council can, in fact, act with four members present, and parent/teacher conferences are an excusable absence. A motion was made by Councilmember Pedlar and seconded by Councilmember Scott to approve the original budget hearing date of November 25th and the adjourned budget hearing date of December 4th, if needed. The motion passed unanimously. RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 1992 PROPOSED BUDGET The City Manager presented three resolutions regarding the 1992 proposed budget, tax levy, and proposed tax capacity levy for the HRA. He advised the Council that Minnesota law allows city councils to adjust the budget up or down after acceptance but does not allow an increased tax levy. Therefore, the tax levy has been set at the absolute maximum to allow for maximum flexibility. The preliminary figures presented to the Council members in the budget are still preliminary; they are based on estimates. The City Manager recommended the Council pass the preliminary budget and the tax levies as proposed with the understanding they can be adjusted. 8/26/91 - 10 - Councilmember Scott clarified with the City Manager that the City would still have a budget deficit with the proposed budget even with the property tax levied to the limit. He noted that the City lost $350,00 in revenue this year because of State aid cuts, so it becomes a question of policy as to how much of the fund balance the City has available to use. More detailed information on the fund balance and anticipated revenues will be available for the first budget working session. In response to Councilmember Pedlar's question as to these figures being reflective of the department heads' initial requests, the City Manager indicated the figures are from the department heads; however, he has cut them back significantly and is not yet comfortable with the figures to make a recommendation to the Council. RESOLUTION NO. 91 -209 Member Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE PRELIMINARY 1992 PROPOSED BUDGET The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Dave Rosene, and the motion passed unanimously. RESOLUTION NO. 91 -210 Member Pedlar introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A PROPOSED TAX LEVY FOR 1992 BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Phil Cohen, and the motion passed unanimously.

Council members had been provided a list of the properties at a recent work session. RESOLUTION NO. 90 -212 Member Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION REGARDING STATUS OF CERTAIN RENTAL PROPERTIES IN THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Councilmember Scott complimented the City Manager on the way the resolution was written, indicating it incorporates all the things the Council members would like to see occur with these situations. The compliment was passed on to the author, Tom Bublitz, Assistant Economic Development Authority Coordinator. The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Rosene, and the motion passed unanimously. LICENSES The City Manager responded to Councilmember Pedlar's questions on the list of rental licenses in general. Initial is a first -time application; renewals come due every other year. The City Manager and Council members discussed the Council members' desire to have more detailed information on these rental applications prior to becoming agenda items. The City Manager will work on getting a list of rental applications to the Council members showing when rental licenses expire. Councilmember Rosene requested City staff be asked to somehow indicate any extraordinary circumstances on any of these properties in the future which will assist the Council members in approving the applications. There was a motion by Councilmember Pedlar and seconded by Councilmember Rosene to approve the following list of licenses: GARBAGE AND REFUSE COL LECTION VEHICLES Browning Ferris Industries of MN 9813 Flying Cloud Drive Gallagher's Service, Inc. 1691 - 91st Avenue NE Robbinsdaie Transfer 3601 - 48th Avenue N Super Cycle, Inc. 775 Rice Street Waste Management - Blaine 10050 Naples Street NE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS Northwestern Service, Inc. 791 Hampden Avenue 8/26/91 -12- RENTAL DWELLINGS Initial• Judd and Deb Smith 5837 June Avenue N Susan Licciardi 2024 Ericon Drive Debra Schlick 6727 Perry Avenue N Renewal: Helene Ebhardt 5639 Girard Avenue N Lewis and Vivian Hedlund 5316 Russell Avenue N Robert Nechal 5332 -36 Russell Avenue N Julie Haugen /Sharon Haugen 4806 Twin Lake Avenue N Cherie Wyman 3901- 52nd Avenue N The motion passed unanimously.

The Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council is the planning, research and coordinating agency responsible for assessing human service needs in northwest suburban Hennepin County since 1972. The Council works in the following areas of human services: • mental health o chemical abuse o mental retardation • child care o domestic abuse o senior services • developmental o youth issues o emergency services disabilities o family issues and other areas related to service delivery such as housing and transportation. Because of its role in the community, and its relationship with governmental entities, private agencies, and non - profit organizations, the Council is in a unique position to provide broad -based planning and research assistance in the area of human services to organizations, businesses, and municipalities. PLANNING Planning services available to municipalities include: • • Consultation and Technical Assistance • Service System Analysis • Needs Assessment Research • Demographic /Feasibility Research • Program Utilization Data • Focus Groups Past projects which the Council has assisted in the planning phases have encompassed a variety of human services. While all the projects would be too numerous to mention, several are worth particular notice: Home Free Shelter for Women and Children, the Northwest Mental Health Center, Emergency Services program for northwest Hennepin County residents, the Food Co -op in Brooklyn Park, and most recently, the Northwest Hennepin County Community Support Program in Crystal. Through the coordination of area human service networks, the Council is able to create effective communication links among northwest area human service professionals. The following lists a few of the networks sponsored or co- sponsored by the Council: Child and Family Abuse network, Senior Services Network, Suburban Mental Health Aftercare Providers network, Emergency Assistance Providers Network, and the Northwest Network. RESEARCH Research services available to municipalities include: o Mail /Telephone Surveys o Questionnaire Design o Interviewing o Data Analysis o Program Evaluation o Human Service Related Reports Research is a crucial element in planning and coordinating effective human services delivery in the northwest Hennepin County area. Through numerous internal and external surveys and reports, the Council is able to disseminate vital information to consumers, residents, businesses and municipalities. The Council is also able to assist in survey design and implementation when needed. t COMMUNITY ORGANIZING i Community organizing activities for 1989 include the planning for the development of a runaway youth program located in the northwest Hennepin County area. Runaway statistics indicated a great need for a localized program to assist in addressing the needs of youth and families in crisis. The Council is facilitating a public /private . collaborative planning process. The impetus for this planning process came from the community itself and has become an example of the way in which area human service professionals, municipalities, and organizations can work together to address human service issues. COMMUNITY OUTREACH j Community outreach is achieved by several methods; through I information dissemination, community organizing, and direct services. The Council handles over 1,500 calls for information specific to the northwest suburban planning area. The Council has also promoted community awareness and education through the publication and dissemination of over 75,000 comprehensive human service directories, and over 7,500 specific needs directories, i.e., family violence, chemical dependency, mental retardation, housing resources, and physical disabilities. An estimated 600 annual CSSA Human Service Priority Reports are distributed each year which assist in the planning and coordination efforts of area human service providers. Over 110,000 telephone resource cards were mailed to every household in the northwest area in 1987 and 50,000 updated cards will be distributed during 1989. In 1987 -1988, with a one year grant from Community Action for Suburban Hennepin, the Council sponsored forums for low income residents on food options, renter's rights and responsibilities, and educational opportunities for low income individuals. In 1988 -1989, with a special 3 year McKnight grant, two forums will be held; a second free or reduced price food options forum and a forum on child care options. i i DIRECT SERVICES ADMINISTRATION The Council is in an unique position as the planning and coordinating agency for the northwest area. It can recognize unmet needs in the area, as well as provide services to facilitate effective access to residents. Currently, the Council administers two direct j services programs, Surplus Commodities Program /Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) and Emergency Services Program. SURPLUS COMMODITIES PROGRAM (TEFAP) The U.S.D.A. Surplus Commodity Distribution Program is a federally funded program geared to serve lower income residents by providing surplus products, canned and dry goods, on a regular basis throughout the year. While distributions have diminished from 6 a year (1987- 1988) to 3 this year (1988- 1989), overall participation has not. Approximately 10,000 households in the northwest area receive commodities either directly through the distribution sites and deliveries to homebound people, or indirectly, through the food shelves. Program eligibility is based on income guidelines determined by the State of Minnesota. The Council is responsible for program registration, volunteer coordination, and bookkeeping for northwest Hennepin County. EMERGENCY SERVICES PROGRAM The Emergency Services Program is a Hennepin County- funded program designed to assist northwest suburban area residents who are in a short -term financial crisis situation. One -time financial assistance is available through vouchers and through vendor agreements for rent, food, clothing, transportation, short -term shelter, and some for limited utility assistance. An increase in the need for emergency loans for working poor adults has been evident during the past few years as economic conditions have fluctuated. As a result, the Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council sought and received a $15,000 increase in emergency loan funding for the 1989 fiscal year. Participating direct service agencies assess the financial requests of northwest residents through their own intake services. These agencies are currently People Responding in Social Ministry (PRISM) (Robbinsdale), Christians Reaching Out in Social Services (CROSS) (Maple Grove), Community Emergency Assistance Program (CEAP) (Brooklyn Center), HomeFree Shelter for Women and Children (Plymouth), and North Suburban Emergency Assistance Response (NEAR) (Crystal). The Council maintains financial records, prepares a variety of service use reports, and meets on a regular basis with direct service agency representatives to maintain service coordination. in 1989, the Council reviewed and updated the procedures manual making it clearer and more informative for use by direct service professionals.

In addition, this amendment also comprehends adding a reinspection fee as part of the current rental dwelling licensing program and the adoption of various provisions requiring rental dwelling license holders to prevent disorderly activities on their premises. This ordinance amendment was first considered and discussed by the City Council on August 12, 1991. Attached is a copy of the Request for Council Consideration from that meeting which explains in more detail the various changes proposed. As part of the Council's deliberation of this proposed ordinance amendment, the staff was directed to notify rental dwelling license holders that this ordinance was being considered. Attached is a copy of a letter sent to all rental dwelling license holders explaining the proposal and informing them of the public hearing to be held on this matter. I have received five calls from rental dwelling license holders who generally, following further discussion and explanation of the ordinance, were not opposed to its adoption. Concerns and comments included: concern for the additional burden being placed on landlords; another layer of government regulation to contend with; the short notice of the Council's hearing; concern that the City is against landlords and on the side of tenants; happy with the proposal; support it and like the tone of it. • Summary Explanation Page 2 September 9, 1991 Again, none of the people I talked to about the ordinance were opposed to its adoption, but were more concerned about how it might be enforced. Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council, following public hearing on this matter, adopt the various ordinance amendments which would extend the provisions of the Housing and Maintenance Code to all commercial and industrial properties, create the ability for a reinspection fee and require rental dwelling license holders to prevent disorderly activities on their premises. i • CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Council Meeting Date 8/12/9 Agenda Rem Number r REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: An Ordinance Amending Chapter 12 of the City Ordinances Extending the Housing Maintenance and Occupancy Code to Include Commercial and Industrial Properties ********************************************************** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** DEPT. APPROVAL: Ronald A. Warren, Director of Planning and Inspection MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECOMMENDATION: No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached X On the City Council's August 12, 1991 agenda is the consideration of an ordinance amending Chapter 12 of the City Ordinances which would extend the provisions of the Housing Maintenance and Occupancy Ordinance to include commercial and industrial property as well as residential property. Chapter 12 would then be known simply as the Building Maintenance and Occupancy Ordinance. The reason for this consideration is concern for potential maintenance problems with nonresidential properties. Generally, this has not been a major- problem and commercial and industrial property is fairly well maintained. Just like when the Housing Maintenance and Occupancy Ordinance was adopted in 1975, the concern is to head off potential maintenance problems with nonresidential properties before deterioration and /or blight set in making elimination of these problems even more difficult. We believe the proposed ordinance amendments set some minimum standards for the maintenance of all properties and spell out the maintenance responsibilities of building owners and occupants. Summary Explanation Page 2 Enforcement of the ordinance would primarily be on a complaint and observation basis although the ordinance does make mention of a recertification of occupancy for nonresidential properties. Such a program would require regular inspections of nonresidential properties on a scheduled basis. It would also require additional personnel for implementation which we are not recommending at this time. Such a program_could be implemented in the future if such a determination is made. The proposed ordinance amendment also comprehends adding a reinspection fee as part of the current rental dwelling licensing program. This would require the payment of a fee for reinspections relating to uncompleted items in compliance orders. For example, if an owner is given 30 days to complete certain maintenance items listed on a compliance order and an inspection after the 30 day time limit reveals that not all of the items were completed necessitating the need for the inspector to return to reinspect the property to certify completion of all items. This reinspection would trigger a fee for that particular inspection. Such fees could be collected at the time the rental dwelling license fees are due. If this concept is acceptable, a resolution setting the amount of such a reinspection fee would be brought to the City Council for adoption. Another significant part of this proposed ordinance amendment is the adoption of Section 12 -911 requiring rental dwelling license holders to prevent disorderly activities on their premises. It defines disorderly activities as noisy parties (Noise Abatement); possession, delivery or purchase of controlled substances on the property; disturbing the peace; gambling violations; prostitution or acts relating to prostitution; and firearms violations. The proposal requires the City Manager to give notice to a license holder of violations of the above and direct that person to take steps to prevent further violations. If other disorderly conduct occurs within three months of the first notice, a second notice is sent requiring the license holder to respond in writing as to what actions have been taken and are proposed to be taken to prevent further disorderly use of the premises. If another disorderly instance takes place within three months, the City Manager can take action to have the license denied, revoked or suspended after a hearing by the City Council. This proposed section was submitted to the City Manager by some concerned citizens and has been reviewed and modified by the City Attorney and is being recommended for adoption by the City Council as part of this major amendment to Chapter 12. The Housing Commission has reviewed the proposed ordinance except for the disorderly conduct provisions, and has recommended approval (see memo from Tom Bublitz attached). Summary Explanation Page 3 Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council consider the recommended ordinance amendments. Because the publication is lengthy and the publications costs high, we recommend that careful consideration be given to the proposal. If the City Council wishes to modify this proposal, we would suggest that it be done before it is published and that the first reading be done only after the Council is collectively comfortable with the proposal. Also, the Council may wish to give the staff some direction if it desires to have special notice given to such interest groups as rental dwelling license holders, the Chamber of Commerce, etc. MEMORANDUM TO: Ron Warren, Director of Planning and Inspection FROM: Tom Bublitz, Assistant EDA Coordinator DATE: August 6, 1991 SUBJECT: Housing Commission Review of Proposed Ordinance Regarding Building Maintenance and Occupancy Chapter 12 At their regularly scheduled meeting on May 14, 1991, the Brooklyn Center Housing Commission reviewed the proposed Building Maintenance and Occupancy Ordinance (Chapter 12). The only major concern the housing commission had was with the structure of the ordinance and whether there should be a separate section addressing only commercial and industrial property and another section that includes items applicable to residential, commercial and industrial property. After completing their review and discussion of the proposed ordinance, the Brooklyn Center Housing Commission unanimously approved a motion to support the extension of the City's maintenance code to commercial and industrial properties. CITY 6301 SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY OF :BROOKLYN BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA 55430 TELEPHONE: - 569 3300 C ENTER I FAX: 569 -3494 EMERGENCY - POLICE - FIRE August 26, 1991 911 Dear Rental Dwelling License Holder: The City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center. is considering various amendments to the Housing Maintenance and Occupancy Ordinance and has directed rental property owners be advised of these considerations. First of all, the proposed amendments would extend the maintenance provisions of the ordinance to commercial and industrial properties as well as residential properties. Chapter 12 of the City Ordinances would then be known as the Building Maintenance and Occupancy Ordinance. Perhaps of more concern to rental dwelling license holders are two new provisions. One proposal comprehends adding a reinspection fee as part of the current rental dwelling licensing program. The idea of such a fee would be to require payment of the cost for reinspections relating to repeated noncompliance with outstanding compliance orders. For example, if an owner is given 30 days to complete certain maintenance items listed on a compliance order and an inspection after this 30 day time limit reveals that not all of the items were completed necessitating the need for the inspector to return to the property to verify the completion of these maintenance items, then a reinspection fee would be imposed for any and all return visits needed to assure the items have been completed. This reinspection fee is designed to encourage property owners to complete all maintenance items within the time frame allotted or to contact the Housing Inspector to make satisfactory arrangements to avoid repeat calls and inspections for the same maintenance items. Reinspection fees would be due and payable at least at the time license fees are paid. �YN A 986ALL4V"AW�"Cffy � Rental Dwelling License Holder Page 2 August 26, 1991 The other matter of otentia dwelling 1' p 1 interest to rental g icense holders is a new procedure making it the responsibility of license holders to see to it that persons occupying the licensed premises conduct themselves in a manner which is not disorderly. Disorderly activities include the following: noisy parties or gatherings constituting a nuisance; unlawful possession, delivery or purchase of controlled substances; disturbing the peace; liquor violations; gambling violations; prostitution or acts relating to prostitution; and firearms violations. If a premises has been determined to be used in a disorderly manner, the City Manager, or a designated representative, shall give the license holder a notice that the property has been used in such a manner and direct the license holder to take steps to prevent further violations. If another instance of a disorderly use of the premises occurs within three months of the first violation, the City Manager, or a designated representative, shall again give the license holder notice of the violation and this time require the license holder to submit a written report, within five days, of the actions taken or proposed to be taken to prevent further disorderly use of the premises. A third disorderly incident on the licensed premises within another three months allows the City Manager, or designated representative, to bring an action before the City Council to revoke, suspend or not renew the rental dwelling license for the property following a hearing by the City Council. The purpose of these provisions is to encourage property owners to deal directly with disorderly use problems on their property through sanctions and /or evictions of disorderly tenants if necessary. If the owner of the property chooses not to deal with such problems, then the City Council can reconsideration the status of the rental dwelling license for that property. Eviction proceedings against disorderly tenants could cause the revocation actions to terminate. The City Council will consider the above ordinance amendments at a public hearing to be held on Monday, September 9, 1991 at approximately 7:15 p.m. If you would like a copy of the entire ordinance amendment or a portion under consideration, or if you wish to discuss or want additional information about the ordinance amendment, please feel free to contact me at 569 -3300.

Objections and Appeals Chapter 429 of the Minnesota Statutes sets forth special assessment procedures and regulations. Statutes require a hearing at which time property owners may object to or contest their own assessment. The Council must consider both written or verbal objections at the hearing. If a property owner wishes to appeal the levy of a special assessment to district court, he or she must file a signed, written objection to the assessment either before or at the hearing. Objections The Council may wish to consider some objections at the hearing. However, in some cases the Council may wish to defer consideration of any substantive objections until a future meeting by continuing the public hearing as to that assessment. Substantive objections include those which would require further information and investigation, and any contested assessments. Appeals An owner may appeal an assessment to district court pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 429.081 by serving notice of the appeal upon the mayor or the clerk of the city within 30 days after the �,TYN 1986ALLAMFt§CAIXtt Page 2 adoption of the assessment and filing such notice with the district court within ten days after service upon the mayor or clerk. Deferral for Senior Citizens and Disabled Persons Minnesota Statutes sections 435.193 through 435.195 authorize municipalities to offer deferrals of special assessments certified to properties owned by qualifying senior citizens and persons retired due to total and permanent disability. No other types of deferrals, such as on the basis of income, are authorized. City policy allows qualified senior citizens and disabled persons to defer some or all of a special assessment. As amended in 1990, the following requirements apply: 1. The property must be homesteaded. 2. The property owner or spouse must be of at least 65 years of age or retired due to permanent and total disability. 3. Household income may not exceed $21,650. The policy states that the maximum annual payment that qualifying property owners would be required to make would be 1.5 percent of household income. In other words, if the household income was $10,000, the maximum annual payment on all special assessments would be $150. Special assessments levied for failure to pay, such as for delinquent public utility charges, or for non- compliance with City ordinances, such as for weed destruction, may not be considered for deferment. Interested persons may apply by contacting the city Engineering office. They will be asked to fill out two forms, one a City application and one a Hennepin County application, and to provide proof of income such as the previous year's income tax form. Staff will then calculate the maximum annual payment, determine the sum of annual payments on all outstanding special assessments on the property, and will calculate the amount of the deferral. The deferred portion of the assessment is certified to Hennepin County as a separate levy. The - principle accrues interest until the deferred levy is paid, usually as a result of sale of the property. Payment Options Available to Property Owners Once an assessment roll is adopted by the Council, the owner of each property has the following payment options: 1. Pay the entire amount of the special assessment, without interest, if payment is made within 30 days of the date of adoption by the Council. 2. Pay the entire amount plus interest from the date of adoption by the Council until December 31, if payment is made between the 30th day following adoption and December 31. Page 3 3. Payment on an installment basis, with the owner's annual property tax payments, including interest charges accrued to December 31 for each year in which payment is made. The term of the installments varies, to reflect the anticipated life of the improvement. (Example: weed removal assessments are levied on a single- installment basis, whereas street improvements are levied on a 10 or 20 year basis.) The term of the levy is shown in the "Levy Information" section of each of the proposed assessment rolls.

The special assessments recommended are to property owners who (1) have signed Tree Removal Agreements and requested that the costs be assessed to their taxes; (2) have been invoiced for but have failed to pay removal costs as agreed to in the before - mentioned agreements; or (3) have not responded to the City's order and have had trees removed in accordance with the procedure established when a property owner fails to respond to official notices (i.e. the public nuisance procedure). All property owners have been duly notified by certified mail of this special assessment hearing.

When an American community of whatever size or charac- ­ �A ter joins with a community in another nation to learn more M_�- about the other and to develop friendly and meaningful exchanges, the two may propose a formal affiliation. The i> ideal affiliation involves a large number of citizens and organi- zations in both communities engaged in continuing projects of mutual interest. This interchange helps to further international understand - ing at all levels of the community on a continuing long-term 4 , basis. Within the program cities and their citizens exchange people, ideas and culture in a variety of educational institu- tional, municipal, professional, technical and youth projects. The Sister City program as a national concept was launched at the White House in 1956 when President Dwight ,. D. Eisenhower called for massive exchanges between Amer- icans and the peoples of other lands. What TO DO First?

APPROVAL: MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECOXk1ENDATION: No comments to supplement this report Comm is below /attached SUAEVIARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached ) • Enclosed please find a copy of an August 20, 1991, memorandum explaining the proposed 1992 HRG budget to board members and finance directors of Crystal, New Hope and Brooklyn Center. The HRG Board has recommended to each of the member cities a 1992 budget which calls for an increase from the current household billing rate of $1.05 per household per month to $1.30 per household per month. While this represents a significant increase in cost, there has not been a need to increase the monthly billing cost since implementation of the program in 1989. HRG costs have risen approximately 45% since a curbside program was established in 1989. These increased costs, to date, have been largely covered by good recycling performance on the part of all communities which allowed us to get additional cost reimbursement from Hennepin County. In 1992, the Hennepin County Funding Policy will require cities to reach a much higher recycling rate to achieve maximum funding. Under this policy our cities will need to recycle more than 16% in 1992 to qualify for the 70% funding reimbursement. Since HRG cities are currently recycling below the 16% mark our 1992 budget projects us as receiving only a 60% county funding level as it would be risky to estimate a recycling performance of more than 16 %. The County's funding policy will also require cities to add all rigid plastics and mixed paper to their recycling programs if the market for these programs exist. We also expect an increase in the contract price for the BFI pickup contract as per the escalator clause in the contract. It is the HRG Board's policy that if recycling markets are stable the addition of the plastics and mixed paper program should be made at the same time the utility billing for recycling service fee is increased. • RECOMMENDATION As noted in the memorandum the City Council should pass a motion granting preliminary approval to increasing the utility bill recycling service fee from $1.05 per month per household to $1.30 per S month per household. Because there are still possible modifications and changes to the 1992 Hennepin County Recycling Funding Policy we are only asking preliminary approval of the increase at this time. We would expect to have final figures in November or December and would request final approval at that time. • M E M O R A N D U M DATE: August 21, 1991 TO: Dan Donahue, HRG Board Member L -'rald Splinter, HRG Board Member Jerry Dulgar, HRG Chair Miles Johnson, Crystal Finance Director Larry Watts, New Hope Finance Director Paul Holmlund, Brooklyn Center Finance Dir. FROM: Julie Jones, HRG Administrator SUBJECT: Proposed 1992 HRG Budget At their August 14 meeting, the Hennepin Recycling Group Board approved the attached 1992 budget proposal. This budget proposal should now be forwarded to the appropriate staff people at each HRG city and then forwarded to the City Council. Staff members should ignore previous HRG budgetary data since earlier estimated subsidies from each city's general fund have been eliminated in this updated budget proposal. There are basically four program changes in the 1992 HRG Budget from the 1991 Budget. 1. Increased cost for Yardwaste Management due to increase use at the Maple Grove Yardwaste Facility. 2. An increase in BFI curbside service fees due to the addition of all rigid plastics and mixed paper to the curbside program. 3. A decrease in Hennepin County Funding Reimbursement to 60 %. 4. An increase in the utility bill recycling service charge to $1.30 per household per month. Administrative and promotional expenses remain basically the same in 1992 as they were at 1991 funding levels. The recently adopted 1992 Hennepin County Funding Policy will require cities to reach much higher recycling rates to receive maximum funding. Under the County's policy, HRG cities would need to recycle more than 16% in 1992 to qualify for 70% funding reimbursement. Since HRG cities are currently recycling slightly below 16% of their residential waste, it would be wise to only project 60% County funding level in 1992. Hennepin County's 1992 Funding Policy will also require cities to add all rigid plastics and mixed paper to their curbside recycling programs, if markets for these recyclables exist. This addition to the curbside program is expected to raise HRG's contract price with BFI from $1.60 to $2.00 per household per month. The HRG Board agreed that if markets are stable, this addition to the program should be made at the same time the utility bill recycling service fee is increased. The other substantial change proposed in the 1992 HRG budget is an increase in the utility bill service fee from its current rate at $1.05 per household per month to $1.30 per household per month. Increasing the utility bill service fee will eliminate subsidies from each city's general fund, which have occurred in the past. Increasing the utility bill recycling service fee to $1.30 equals a 24% increase from the existing rate. However, HRG's total program costs have increased 45% since the curbside recycling program was implemented in 1989. No increase in the utility bill service charge has been made since the program was established. RECOMMENDATION The attached 1992 HRG budgetary information should be forwarded to each HRG City Council for consideration in the 1992 budgetary approval process. At this time, I recommend that each HRG City plan to increase its utility bill recycling service fee to $1.30 per household per month in its 1992 budget.

The City Council approved the concept at its August 12, 1991, meeting. We have made arrangements with all three speakers and, as mentioned in the August memorandum, there would be costs for honorariums for the three speakers. The cost for Chris Gates is $1,000, the cost for Cilla Bosnack is $400 and the cost for Deanne Butterfield is $250 plus lodging for the evening. I will be working with Mr. Gates, Ms. Bosnick and Ms. Butterfield to set the final agenda for their presentations. I would expect to send out invitations to potential attendees this week. Attached you will find a copy of a resolution transferring $1,700 from the contingency fund to the professional services account (4310) in the City Council budget for purposes of paying the honoraria. MEMORANDUM TO: Brooklyn Center City Council FROM: Todd Paulson, Mayor DATE: August 8, 1991 SUBJECT: 97th National Conference on Governance Sept. 19 - 21 "Civics and Politics in the 1 90: Creating Community for Everyone" This conference will be held this fall in Minneapolis. I believe this offers a unique opportunity to gain access to some very interesting speakers on issues affecting Brooklyn Center. Attached is a copy of a tentative agenda for the conference. I hope you can attend this conference on Friday and Saturday. At a convention earlier this year I contacted a number of individuals who would be interested in meeting with Brooklyn Center people during this conference and sharing some of their expertise and information. One of these people is Deanne Butterfield, a council member from the City of Boulder, Colorado, who has some interesting information on citizen participation strategies. I have also contacted Cilia Bosnak, superintendent of neighborhood affairs for the City of Dayton, Ohio. In Dayton, Ohio they have an elaborate and effective neighborhood committee system, portions of which could be very applicable to Brooklyn Center. I also became acquainted with a Christopher T. Gates, vice President of the National Civic League and he made a very interesting presentation on citizen democracy and public /private partnership that I also believe would be helpful for Brooklyn Center to review. I would propose that Brooklyn Center sponsor these three individuals in separate sessions coordinating with their appearances at the league conference. Tentatively it appears Deanne Butterfield would be - available on Thursday evening, September 19th to present "Citizen Participation Strategies "; Cilia Bosnak would be available Thursday morning, September 19th regarding "Neighborhood Committees and Groups "; and Wednesday evening, September 18th Christopher Gates would be available for a presentation on "Citizen Democracy and Public /Private Partnership ". I would envision these presentations being made at the Heritage Center. The group size for the presentation would be in the vicinity of 15 to 20 people. The council members, staff and advisory commission members would be important people to have in attendance. At this time, staff believes a "trade out" with Atrium can be arranged. By doing this there would be no cost for the two days and Atrium would be allowed to use the facility for their needs when it is necessary. The only thing we would be losing is potential revenue if someone else wanted to rent the facility during those times. However, dates and times for trade -outs are mutually agreed upon. According to staff this arrangement has been made in the past and it is beneficial to both the City and Atrium. At this point in time some of the presenters have offered their services without charge, and others would probably expect a small honorarium. I am in the process of pinning down those costs. Please call me if you have any questions or suggestions.

The Council on July 8, 1991 had reviewed a request by Chazin Properties to divide off a .7 acre portion of their 6.3 acre site for a possible office development. Mr. David Sellergren, an attorney representing Chazin Properties, had appeared before the Council to discuss the proposal and offer a possible ordinance amendment which, if adopted, would allow the division in spite of the fact that the division would leave the North Lyn Apartments with a density (unit to land area ratio) greater than that allowed by the City's Zoning Ordinance. It was reported at that time that the staff had been reviewing several possibilities with the Chazins and their representatives including a variance request from the density requirements of the Zoning Ordinance (Planning Commission Application No. 90023), the possible use of the PUD provisions of the Zoning Ordinance and also, an ordinance amendment proposed by the Chazins. The Planning Commission Application had been tabled with the applicant's consent, and it seemed to be the general belief that a variance was • not the appropriate way of addressing this matter in that the standards for variance could not be met. The circumstances in this case did not appear to be an appropriate use of the PUD provisions of the Zoning Ordinance and the suggested text amendment seemed contrived to only fit the Chazin's property. Summary Explanation Page 2 September 9, 1991 These matters were discussed quite extensively between the Chazins' representative, the City Council and the City staff at the July 8 meeting. Councilmember Cohen pointed out that the City, both before and after adopting the 1966 Comprehensive Plan, had painstakingly studied the issue of multiple family residential zoning and the related density issues before adopting the current density standards. One of the studies done which included allowable density was a 1965 publication entitled Plan Effectuation Devices. Also, a pamphlet called The Comprehensive Rezoning of Brooklyn Center addressed the density issues. Our current system of multiple family residential zoning districts (R3, R4, R5, R6 and R7) became effective with the adoption of the 1968 Zoning Ordinance which was a major Zoning Ordinance revision and is today the basis and structure of our existing Zoning Ordinance. Prior to 1968, the City had an RB zoning district which allowed both business or commercial uses and multiple family residential uses at a density of 2,700 sq. ft. of land per dwelling unit (the current R5 zoning district density). The 1968 ordinance established the current multiple family residential districts which limit the height and density of multiple family dwellings within each district. For instance, the • R5 zoning district limits buildings to 2 1/2 to 3 stories in height at a density of 2,700 sq. ft. per dwelling unit (16 units per acre) while an R4 zoning district limits buildings to 1 1/2 to 2 stories in height at a density of 3,600 sq. ft. per unit (12 units per acre). The R7 zoning district has no limit on the building height and a density of 1,400 sq. ft. per unit (31 units per acre). This has been the density scheme utilized for multiple development of much of the City of Brooklyn Center. Attached is a letter from City Attorney Charlie LeFevere responding to the City Council's request for an opinion regarding the legal implications of granting relief to Chazin Properties and the options available to the City Council. The City Council had also requested the staff to prepare a resolution expressing the City Council's position regarding additional development at the North Lyn Apartments. Such a P Y p resolution has been drafted and is presented to the City Council for their consideration. The resolution expresses the opinion that a variance, use of the PUD or the Chazin proposal for text amendment are not appropriate ways of addressing the issue. The resolution goes on to reaffirm the current density standards and the designations of multiple family residential zoning districts as appropriate for development and redevelopment in Brooklyn Center. Summary Explanation Page 3 September 9, 1991 The City Attorney's letter reviews some other options and alternatives, including certain things the Chazins could undertake under the current ordinance to utilize the land in a different manner, or possible additional factors for density credits. Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution. s HOUNIES & GRAVEN - CHARTERED - Attornr�l fl Lfw 110 P116bury Crgr. M;wxkpolh +}ianeeyts $5+42 lA UL R A.

HOESCHLER July 24, 1991 Mr. Gerald Splinter City Manager City of Brooklyn Center 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Brooklyn Center, ML N 55430 Ttes Chazin Proposed Subdivision i Dear Jerry: Chazin Properties is the owner of North Lyn Apartments, a 102 unit apartment building. Chazin desires to subdivide the parcel by splitting off a 7 /10 of an sere lot from the 6.3 acre apartment site. The lot to be split off is not currently being Used. The subdivision of the lot is not permitted under current city code provisions unless a variance is granted, a planned unit development (PUD) is approved, or the code is amended, because all of the land area of the lot is needed to satisfy the density requirements of the code for 102 apartment units. The City Council has asked for my opinion on the legal implications of granting such relief to Chazin Properties and on the options available to the City Council should the Council wish to do so. On the basis of the facts as I understand them, I do not believe that a variance is appropriate. A variance is used when, due to unique characteristics of the land, the strict enforcement of the ordinance would create a hardship. In this case; there is nothing about the size, shape, topography or soil conditions of the lot which creates a hardship or unreasonable constraint out normal development in compliance with the city code. In fact, the lot is already fully developed with the maximum number of apartment units allowed. Given the area of the lot, no more units would be allowed no matter what the characteristics of the lot were. Therefore, I believe that granting a variance would create a precedent which could undermine the enforeabd.ity of the density controls in the city code. If the Council wishes to make some accommodation to Chazin Properties, I would not recommend that it be by granting a variance. Representatives of Chazin Properties and the staff have also discussed allowing the proposed development under the City PUD Ordinance. I believe that several members of the Planning. Commission were of the opinion that this is not an Mr. Gerald Splinter July 24, 1991 Page 2 appropriate case for the application of that ordinance. Based on my understanding of the facts, I am included to agree. At least this is not the type of case in which a PUD ordinance is typically used. This is not a redevelopment project; it is not a large tract of land; and the various uses proposed are not in any way integrated or developed in accordance with or part of a common unified plan for development. The proposal is simply to create two lots of fairly regular shape, for different uses, not necessarily under common ownership or control. One of the two lots, the apartment lot, would simply be over the allowed density. There are cases in which PUDs are used to develop land above the allowed density. A residential PUD might provide for development of single family houses on undersized lots, for example. However, PUDs allowing undersized lots are generally designed so as to accomplish the same purposes as are accomplished ordinarily by requiring larger lots. For example, lot size requirements, which are a type of density control, are intended to prevent overcrowding by providing a certain feeling of openness and available open space for recreation, landscaping, and the like. When undersized lots are allowed by PUD, these same objectives might be met by such means as: providing common areas, recreational facilities and open areas; limiting building sizes; limiting construction of accessory buildings; or integrated landscaping plans. In the case of the Chazin Properties proposal, the commercial lot is not different than any other commercial lot in the City. The apartment lot, except for the fact that it is attractive and well maintained, is not significantly different than other apartment buildings in the City. Neither of these two lots alone would seem to be appropriate for consideration of special treatment as a PUD, and I see no reason to reach a different conclusion by considering the two lots and proposed uses together. If neither a variance nor a PUD is appropriate, the only way to allow the development proposed is by code amendment. Whether this is appropriate is strictly a matter within the discretion of the City Council. If the City Council concludes that current density controls are appropriate for an development in the City, no change should be made to the ordinances. If the City Council feels that the density controls are too restrictive in an cases, the density controls could simply be relaxed by allowing a greater number of units per acre. However, the Council might determine that the current density controls are too restrictive in some cases and that in these cases the density controls might be relaxed. The most straight forward means of allowing a higher density for parcels in the City where higher density is appropriate would be to create a new zoning category, such as R-5A in which development a higher density is allowed. Then, in appropriate cases, the City Council could rezone land to A -5A from any existing zoning designation. When city councils act to rezone land, they act in a legislative capacity. In such cases, the city's legislative decision is entitled to a good deal of deference by a court reviewing the city's decision. A court may not substitute its judgment for that of the city council in legislative matters. However, even if the city council is not concerned about legal challenges, it may be assumed there will be other cases around the city in which owners of property currently zoned R -5 would apply to the city council for rezoning to R-5A. This could occur in any cases Mr. Gerald Splinter July 24, 1991 Page 3 where R -5 property owners wish to develop unused pests of their land; but applications might also be made for rezoning for any R -5 properties where owners desire to create a higher number of units within the apartment complex or in cases in which R -5 property owners wish to sell a part of their property to adjacent property owners to allow for a more intensive development of adjacent sites. A second way of relaxing density requirements in certain cases is to specify circumstances under which a higher density would be allowed. Discussion by some of the council members suggested that this approach might be considered. This approach, in a way, is what was suggested by the attorney for Chazin Properties. However, in that proposal, increased density would have been allowed on the basis of the location of the site (proximity to publicly owned open space and being adjacent to land which is primarily non - residential) rather than the characteristics of the development itself. The discussion of this issue at the Council suggested that some members could be amenable to allowing higher density, but only if it was _somehow offset by amenities for the residents of the multi- family residential amenities. The best way of recognizing the benefit from certain types of development by allowing higher density would be by amending City Code Section 35 -400, paragraph 1. Under this section of the Code, there are currently two ways in which an apartment project may qualify for higher density development. The first is under subparagraph b which allows the total minimum land area to be reduced by 500 square feet for each required parking stall in or under a multiple residence or otherwise completely underground. Therefore, one way which Chazin Properties might qualify their project as proposed would be to construct the required amount of underground parking and reducing the amount of above-ground parking, accordingly. I would guess that the idea behind this code provision is that when less of the parcel is devoted to above - ground parking, more of the parcel may be used for open space, landscaping, recreational facilities and the like. Therefore, a higher number of units may be allowed on a given parcel with the same genera effect on the community, when parking is placed underground. A second means of qualifying for a higher density of development is under subparagraph d. of paragraph 1. Under this section, land area requirements per dwelling unit may be reduced by the City Council when certain standards are met. The standards generally involve the conveyance by the developer to the City of some of the parcel for public open space purposes. If the City Council concludes that the development is in a section of the City which is in the need of public open space facilities, and if the apartment building and the open space are so developed and integrated as to reduce the overall effect of the increased density, the City Council may allow increased density. I Therefore, even under current city code requirements, the developer has a number of options. The first option is to reduce the number of units in the apartment complex to a number which would place the development in conformance with the Code, even if the lot size were reduced by splitting 7/10 of an acre from the site. The second option would be to construct underground parking. The third possibility would not allow for commercial development of the new lot, but it would allow the developer to reduce the land area on which he is currently paying taxes and reduce his maintenance costs. This third method would be to split the smaller lot off and Mr. Gerald Splinter July 24, 1991 Page 4 convey it to the City for public open space purposes. Obviously, this would only be appropriate if the City Council makes the findings necessary to qualify it for special treatment under Section 35-400, paragraph 1d. If none of these approaches is satisfactory in this case, or if the City Council wishes to expand the ways in which an apartment owners may qualify for increased density, it could amend this section of the code to give a similar kind of density credit for other on -site amenities. For example, additional density on a specified formula could be allowed for a swimming pool or improved recreational areas such as tot lots or tennis Courts which might arguably make a higher density development more livable, just as the council has concluded that underground parking has this effect. If there are other on -site amenities which the City Council deems to be deserving of special, density consideration, they could also be added to this section of the Code. Therefore, I would suggest that the City Council first decide whether the current density controls in the ordinance ought to be relaxed under any circumstances. If the City Council is satisfied with the current density controls throughout the City, no change should be made. If, on the other hand, the Council feels there are other circumstances where increased density should be allowed, these circumstances should be identified so that city staff may prepare appropriate recommended code amendments. However, I would recommend that if increased density is to be allowed in Certain cases, that these cases be carefully specified in the ordinance. For example, under the current ordinance, there is a clear standard for reducing density requirements of 500 square feet for each underground parking stall. I would not recommend that a more vague or subjective standard be included in the ordinance as a basis for relaxing density controls. For example, I would not recommend that the Council give itself the authority, by ordinance, to allow increased density for unspecified recreational amenities or design characteristics yes upon application to the City Council. It would be relatively simple to defend a case in which the City Council denied approval to a development which wished to reduce density by more than the amount specified in the ordinance for each required parking stall. I believe that it would be much more difficult to justify a decision n by City o t Council to deny increased Y Y eased densit to an Y y applicant which proposed some recreational improvements, such as a weight lifting room, simply because the City Council felt, on a subjective basis, that such a facility was not adequate to offset the increased density. If the City Council wishes to allow increased density for an exercise room, I would recommend that the ordinance specify the amount of credit which is to be given for an exercise room, defines the kinds of facilities which must be present to qualify the room as an exercise room, and allow the increase in density in all cases throughout the city in which an exercise room is provided. If you have any further questions on this matter, please feel free to give me a call. Very truly yours, l r, Charles L.

CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Council Meeting Date 9/9/91 Agenda Item Numb A a g Numb REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING PROPOSAL FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES RELATING TO 69TH AVENUE RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT NO. 1990 -10, PHASE II CONSTRUCTION DEPT. APPROVAL: ,, d ,-� Sy Knapp, Nrector or Public Works MANAGER'S REVIEW /RECOMMENDATION: No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes • As authorized by motion of the City Council on August 12, staff requested SEH, Inc. to prepare and submit a proposal to provide professional services as needed for the completion of the 69th Avenue improvement project. SEH's proposal, dated 9/3/91, is attached. Following is a summary of staff's evaluation of SEH's proposal: 1. The work covered in the proposal includes all final design work and construction- related services required in relation to the four contracts which will be needed to complete the 69th Avenue project, i.e.: • landscaping of the wetland mitigation areas • final roadway and utility construction • France Avenue signal system • roadway landscaping The estimated total construction costs under these four contracts is $3.1 million. 2. The scope of work described in the proposal appears to cover all aspects of the project which can be identified at this time. These include the following: • roadway, sidewalk and trailway construction plans • • • city utility construction plans (trunk water main, trunk sanitary sewer, and storm sewer adjustments and extensions) • coordination of work with private utility companies (NSP, US West, Minnegasco and CATV). It is noted that each of these companies have major distribution lines along 69th Avenue, requiring an extraordinary level of coordination • obtaining plan approvals from county, state and federal agencies • development of detailed landscaping plans, i.e. for berming, fencing, plantings, etc. based on public input. Nine "open- house" meetings with property owners are contemplated - at which SEH and City staff will discuss landscaping plans, possible driveway improvements, changes to electrical service lines, etc., with the affected property owners. 3. The proposal details the proposed schedule for each of the four contracts, with basic construction to be completed in 1992, and landscaping to be completed in 1993. 4. The proposed payments to the consultant are described in Section IV of Exhibit A. Essentially, these fees may be summarized as follows: A. Preparation of plans and specifications: Costs Not -To- Exceed (1) - for mitigation area landscaping $ 4,300 - for roadway (& utility) improvements 75,440 - for France Avenue signals 5,850 - for roadway landscaping 14.900 Subtotal $100,490 B. Construction Related Services: Estimated Costs (2) - for mitigation area landscaping $ 3,650 - for roadway and utility construction 165,730 - for France Avenue signals 1,730 - for roadway landscaping $ 37.000 Subtotal $208,110 Estimated Total Costs $308,600 (1) The costs for preparation of plans and specifications are established as "Not -To- Exceed" costs, with the provision that the consultant will confer with the City at the 50 %, 75% and 90% levels of completion - to assure that these costs are being properly monitored. • (2) The costs for construction related services are shown as "Estimated" costs because the need for these services is so unpredictable that it would be unrealistic to establish either a fixed price or a "Not -To- Exceed" figure. Variables include the performance of the contractors to whom the construction contracts will be awarded (i.e. - how much monitoring and supervision is required, and whether or not the contractors will meet the specified completion dates); the cooperation (or lack thereof) from private utility companies; the amount of contact required with property owners; the amount of monitoring and documentation required to satisfy agency requirements, etc. Note 1 : In preparing my recent report regarding procurement of professional services, all references which I reviewed agreed that construction related services should be provided on an "as- needed" basis to reflect actual needs rather than on a fixed price or Not -To- Exceed basis. Note 2 : Because of the City's experiences on other projects, I specifically requested SEH to anticipate some degree of difficulty, in these areas, so that, hopefully, their actual charges for these services will be less than these estimated costs. We will, of course, monitor these costs on a regular basis. In addition, the proposed contract requires SEH to confer with us at the 50 %, 75% and 90% levels to assure proper cost control. • (3) All charges will be based on: Item 1 - SEH's payroll costs X 2.13* Item 2 - Reimbursable expenses (transportation, fees paid, printing costs, travel costs and work by subconsultants) at cost; i.e. these are pass -thru costs with no add -ons. *The proposed salary multiplier (2.13) covers the consultant's profits (i.e. - office and equipment costs, taxes and insurance, etc. and profit). 5. If this proposal is accepted and approved by the City Council, the following is a summary of SEH's contracts with the City for this project: contract for Stage 1 "Project Development" services ...........$195,000 contract for services relating to "Phase 1" construction (i.e. work in Palmer Lake, etc) .................$ 90,000 contract for services relating to "Phase 2" construction (i.e. - this contract) ... .......................$308,600 Total $593,600 In the project cost summary which was presented to, and approved by the City Council on June 24, 1991, City staff estimated these costs would total $624,000. Accordingly the current estimate of these costs is $30,400 "below budget ". Summary and Recommendations It is my opinion that SEH's proposal adequately covers the work required, that their proposed charges are fair and reasonable, and that the City's past experiences with this firm have shown that they provide a high level of responsible and reputable professional services. This will provide the City the assurance that this project will be properly designed and managed. Accordingly, I recommend acceptance of SEH's proposal. RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION A resolution accepting SEH's proposal is provided for consideration by the City Council. • Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO.

APPROVAL: jl� e i Sy Knapp, Dir or of P 1'c Works MANAGER'S REVIEW /RECOMMENDATION: No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached • On May 7, 1990 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 90 -95, authorizing the purchase of properties as needed to provide right -of -way for the proposed 69th Avenue improvement project, by negotiated purchase. Our goal was to acquire and take possession of all properties (23 homes plus the commercial properties at the northeast corner of the Brooklyn Boulevard /69th Avenue intersection) by July 1, 1991 so that all buildings could be removed in 1991, thereby allowing roadway construction to begin in early 1992. All 23 homes have now been purchased and, if contracts for removal are approved by the Council at the 9/9/91 meeting, all houses will be removed this year. Progress regarding acquisition of the commercial properties (i.e. - the "Tires Plus" building and the "Orbit TV /Saba Flowers" building) has, however, been very slow. Primarily, this has been the result of numerous factors which the City's appraisers found extremely difficult to evaluate. However, after finally "sorting out" these factors, the City's appraiser and the review appraiser finally agreed on an appraised value, and a just compensation offer was delivered to the owners on August 28. The owners have indicated that they wish to attempt to negotiate an agreement. For that purpose staff will be meeting with them next week. However, we have advised the owners that the City must have possession of this property by no later than March 1, 1992, to assure our ability to complete our project on schedule. To assure the City's ability to take possession of this property by that date, the City Attorney has recommended that condemnation • proceedings be formally initiated now. City staff agrees with that recommendation. Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoptions 0 RESOLUTION NO.

APPROVAL: Sy Knapp, irector Public Works f MANAGER'S REVIEW /RECOMMENDATION: No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached • SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached---- Various sections of concrete sidewalk within the City have been identified by staff as being in need of replacement because of settlement, tree root damage, etc. These defective panels pose a safety hazard to pedestrians, as well as City Maintenance personnel who plow the walks in the winter. The amount of work required to replace these sections of concrete walk is beyond the scope of repair y P P normally accomplished by City personnel. Consequently, the City Engineer has requested proposals for Improvement Project 1991 -21, Replacement of Defective Sidewalks at Various Locations of the City." Of the three proposals received for the work, the lowest submitted was that of Gunderson Brothers Cement Contractors Co. of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The City Engineer's Cost Estimate for the work was $ 12,585.00. A list of the proposals submitted is as follows: Gunderson Brothers Co. $ 11,532.50 Schmidt Curb Co. Inc. $ 14,466.25 Thomas & Sons Construction, Inc. $ 14,843.75 Gunderson Brothers has considerable experience in this type of work in the Metro area and was most recently awarded the City's contract for replacement of sidewalk panels along Brooklyn Boulevard. Consequently, staff recommends award • to Gunderson Brothers Cement Contractors Co., of Minneapolis, MN. • RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION A resolution establishing the project, accepting proposal and awarding contract to Gunderson Brothers Cement Contractors Co. is provided for consideration by the City Council.

CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Council Meeting Date 9/9/ Agenda Item Number / REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BID, AWARDING CONTRACT AND AUTHORIZING CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 FOR TRAIL IMPROVEMENT, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1991 -07 (REPLACEMENT OF A PORTION OF TRAIL IN CENTRAL PARK, AND SURFACING OF TRAIL ON 53RD AVENUE EXTENSION SOUTH OF CENTERBROOK GOLF COURSE) DEPT. APPROVAL: Sy Knapp, Di for of ublic Works MANAGER'S REVIEW /RECOMMENDATION: No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached On June 24th the City Council approved plans and specifications and authorized advertisement for bids for Trail Improvement Project 1991 -07. This project is the proposed replacement of the "sinking" trail in Central Park and the surfacing of the wood chip trail along the southerly edge of Centerbrook Golf Course. Bids for this work were - received and opened on August 29, 1991. Of the two bids received (see attached Resolution) the lowest bid of $ 99,644.00 was submitted by Alber Construction Inc. The Engineer's Estimate as reported at the June 24th meeting was $ 65,700. The Proposal Form included in the specifications, which the bidders submitted, incorrectly depicted the unit of measurement for the bid item "Lightweight Aggregate" as tons. The estimated quantities shown on the proposal form for "Lightweight Aggregate" were based on cubic yards. Therefore, the effect of the error is that the contract value, as bid, over - estimates the amount of that material by a factor of 1.64 (the conversion from cubic yards to tons) and" reflects an extra $ 24,440 (376 tons @ $ 65.00 per ton). Assuming that the low bid was accepted, a contract change order would be executed and the contract quantities for "Lightweight Aggregate" would be reduced. After execution of a change order, the contract value would be reduced from g $ 99,644 to $ 75,204, which exceeds the original Engineer's Estimate of $ 65,700. The majority of the remaining difference between the estimate and bid appears to be the result of the saturated working conditions evident at the time of bidding. I • The following options are available to the Council at this time: 1. Reject all bids and re- advertise for bids next spring, in an effort to obtain lower bids. 2. Accept the low bid, and execute a change order to decrease the contract quantity for Lightweight Aggregate to that which was originally estimated. City Staff's analysis of the above options consist of the following: 1. As indicated in the Resolution, the bids themselves appear to be competitive. Re- advertisement and subsequent contract award wouldn't be until next year and bids could conceivably come in higher, due to inflation. Also, the prices submitted indicate a cautious approach taken by the bidders, because the water conditions at the time of the bid opening would make the construction difficult. Re- bidding the project next year could be more expensive if the trend of normal precipitation /runoff continues. 2. Although the low bid, after adjustment for the error in the proposal form, is higher than the Engineer's Estimate, it appears to have been submitted in good faith and is indicative of a competitive bidding process. Alber Construction Inc. has extensive experience in sidewalk and trail • construction in the Metro area and have satisfactorily completed projects for the City of Brooklyn Center. Accordingly, staff recommends award of the contract to Alber Construction Inc. and authorization to execute the above - described change order. RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION A resolution accepting bid, awarding contract and authorization for execution of change order is attached for consideration. e i� Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO.
