The City Manager presented a Resolution Amending the 1989 Pay Plan. He noted
this amendment will eliminate the positions of engineering administrative aide
and engineering receptionist and create two equal positions titled engineering
secretary. Councilmember Pedlar inquired why it was possible to eliminate the
engineering administrative aide position at this point and not earlier. The
Director of Public Works explained the engineering administrative aide had left
employment with the City a few months ago and by reapportioning some of her
duties and the duties of other people in the department, they were able to
eliminate the position completely and create the two equal positions titled
engineering secretary. He noted there is a definite need for additional
secretarial help in this department.
RESOLUTION NO. 89 -213

RESOLUTION AMENDING 1989 PAY PLAN

Damages. He went on to briefly explain the circumstances behind the lift

the claims. He stated in 1985 a similar incident happened and caused damages to
14 homes in the City, including the two homes damaged in 1989. He noted at that
time the City's insurance carrier denied the claims whereupon the City Council
did approve payment of the claims. He stated since the circumstances in 1989
were almost identical to those of 1985, he is recommending the City Council
approve payment of these two claims.

owner of the building and concerned neighbors. The Director of Planning and
Inspection briefly reviewed the status of the property. A discussion then
ensued regarding the property and the alternatives the City Council has before
them. Mayor Nyquist then recognized Irwin Ketroser, owner of the property at
6525, 6527, 6529 North Willow Lane. Mr. Ketroser stated many items have been
completed since the October 9, 1989, meeting and work is continuing on his
building. A discussion then ensued relative to the possibility of requesting
Mr. Ketroser to post a bond for a set amount that would cover the necessary
11/13/89 -3-
maintenance items if Mr. Ketroser did not complete the list. A discussion
continued and Mr. Ketroser stated he believed the estimates the Planning and
Inspection Department developed were much too high in some areas, and he would
like the opportunity to have independent contractors come in and give estimates
on the necessary items. He stated he felt it would only be fair to allow him
this opportunity and then the amount of the bond could be based upon these
independent quotes.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Paulson
to continue consideration for denial of the rental dwelling license for 6525,
6527, 6529 North Willow Lane to the December 18, 1989, City Council meeting.

plans for realignment of the West River Road connection to 66th Avenue North.

Advertisement for Bids for Four (4) Compact Police Patrol Sedans. The City
Manager noted this is a 1990 budget item. Councilmember Pedlar inquired why the
City is continuing to purchase compact police patrol sedans. The City Manager
noted several years ago they made the switch from rear -wheel drive to front -
wheel drive vehicles and explained the full -size vehicles do not come in front -
wheel drive. He stated if the Council were interested in switching to full -size
vehicles, then the entire fleet would need to be switched because it is
important that all police patrol sedans be either front -wheel or rear -wheel
drive.

being outside. She noted this dog belongs to her and the other two she is
taking care of for a friend. She noted if the private kennel license were not

staying. A brief discussion then ensued regarding the possibility of using
mediation for this issue, and Mayor Nyquist noted it doesn't appear there is
anything to mediate. He noted the barking dog situation should not be allowed
to continue whether there is one or three dogs on the premises. The City
Manager noted if the Council wished he could have the code enforcement officers
check this neighborhood frequently for the barking dog problem.

list of 42 priority issues or items developed from the planning
session on June 1, 1989. Facilitators James Brimeyer and Deborah
Bennett -Leet were present to assist the Council in reducing the
list of 42 to a manageable number. There were discussions
regarding the different priority given to items on the list by
the various groups at the June 1, 1989 meeting. The Council, by
consensus narrowed down the issue and project areas into seven
general categories as follows: Crime /Drugs, Housing,
Budget /Finances, Economic Development /Redevelopment,
Communications, Aging Population Needs, and Public Facilities.
After discussing various projects and issues under these general
categories, the City Council instructed the city manager to
develop a final listing and bring it back to the City Council for
their approval.
Meeting adjourned at 10:15 p.m.

CHANGE ORDERS AND SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS
One change order and six supplemental agreements were executed over the course
of these projects. The purpose of each is described below.
Net Increase
Or (Decrease)
Change Order 1 $ (3.701.00)
This change order adjusted quantities for sanitary and
storm sewer items, due to a realignment of the proposed
storm sewer. This change was required because a portion of
the necessary right of way could not be acquired. The
change order also corrected a typographical error in the
quantity of one item.
Supplemental Agreement 1 $ 3.302.20
This agreement included three changes. First, additional
adjustments to quantities on the Logan project were made
due to the storm sewer realignment. Second, the agreement
substituted 16" ductile iron pipe for 14" on the Lakebreeze
project, because the smaller was a special order item and
the larger was available for immediate delivery. Finally,
provision was made to remove a structure that was omitted
from the original contract.
Supplemental Agreement 2 $(13.622.80)
This agreement made three changes to the contract relating
to the Logan project. First, additional sanitary sewer
items were deleted, again due to realignment of the storm
sewer. Second, the agreement deleted the item "Sodding"
(without topsoil), and replaced it with "Sodding with 4" of
Topsoil." Finally, the agreement deleted items relating to
construction of the proposed bicycle trail. This part of
the project was deleted because no agreement could be
reached with the contractor on retaining wall construction
cost.
Supplemental Agreement 3 $119,732.17
This agreement covered many additions, deletions, and changes to
contract amounts, due generally to: work required but which was
not included in the contract due to unforeseen conditions,
error, or oversight; repair of damage caused by utility
companies; changes because easement negotiation was
•

unsuccessful; additions made for the Public Utility Division;
and changes because of under or over estimation of original
quantities.
Supplemental Agreement 4 $ 5,867.86
This agreement added approximately 4,000 square feet of sidewalk
to the France Avenue project which was not included in the
original contract.
Supplemental Agreement 5
This agreement resolved claims made by the contractor for
additional work completed on the Logan, France, and Lakebreeze
projects.
Supplemental Agreement 6, $ 4,040.38
This agreement added the item "Sodding With 4" of Topsoil" to the
contract for the 50th Avenue project, which was not included in
the original contract and overlooked in Supplemental Agreement 2.

Note 1: Final engineering costs exceed approved costs for four reasons.
One, the projects were more complex than anticipated, necessitating
additional construction engineering costs to revise plans and perform
additional inspection work. Two, extensive time was involved in
conducting negotiations for easements needed on the projects. Three,
extensive negotiation with the contractor was required to obtain
acceptance of the supplemental agreements. Four, these costs include
the charges for materials testing and other professional services.
About $140,000 of the $188,000 increase is eligible for state aid
reimbursement. Of the remaining $48,000, $36,000 was incurred on the
Lakebreeze project, which is not state aid eligible.
Note 2: No provision for right of way costs was made when the projects were
initially approved because the Engineer's report indicated that the
projects could be built to minimum specification without easements.
This amount includes $8,850 for temporary construction and slope
easements, and $11,000 for permanent sidewalk, trail, street, and
drainage easements.
Note 3: Capitalized interest is charged to the project because costs are
incurred throughout the life of the project, while project revenues
are not always sufficient to meet these costs. When this occurs,
revenue is lent from other funds, and interest is charged to make up
the lost investment income.
Note 4: Special assessments were certified in October, 1988 rather than at the
end of the project to reduce the amount of capitalized interest
charged to the property owners. The project cost to be assessed
included a contingency amount for cost overruns. This figure also
reflects project costs billed to Joslyn Manufacturing and to Northern
States Power.
Note 5: State aid participation is substantially greater than the approved
amount for two reasons. One, the amount shown as approved did not include
reimbursement for engineering costs. Approximately $140,000 of the
$188,000 engineering costs is eligible for state aid reimbursement.
Two, one change order and six supplemental agreements were made for
these projects. Generally, those items which were added were state
aid eligible items, while those items deleted, such as the proposed
trail, were not.
Note 6: The special assessments levied to property owners for their share of
the project costs included charges for items that are also state aid
eligible. The net result is that the city was "paid" twice for some
improvements. That excess amount from state aid is transferred to our
state aid -local account, to be used to fund other improvements such as
sidewalks and trails.

plus some small items encountered in the course of work.

Work performed under City Contract 1989 -B is now complete and ready for final
acceptance.
The City Council accepted the proposal from North Wood Company by Resolution
89 -37 on March 13, 1989. The final cost of this contract exceeded the
encumbered amount by $9,182.90 due to an underestimation of the number of trees
to be marked and removed (see attached memo).

The 1989 Diseased Tree Removal program is complete and ready for final
acceptance. Through this program, 582 diseased or dead trees located within the
City were marked for removal, nearly 100 more than in 1988.
The drought of 1988 weakened trees, and thus many fell victim this year to
diseases such as Dutch elm and oak wilt. Our parks were also hard -hit, with 138
trees removed - thirty percent of the total. That compares with 92 in 1988.
(Table 1 and Figure 1 illustrate the history of tree removals under this
program.) We are anticipating that the number of trees marked in 1990 will be
about as many or more than in 1989.
Due to this unanticipated increase in marked trees, the final amount of the
contract is $9,182.90 more than the amount approved when the contract was
awarded. Much of that dollar increase can be attributed to the large increase
in park trees, for which the City pays the entire cost.
Our tree contractor, North Wood Company of Coon Rapids, is to be commended for
a job well done. Each tree presents its own special problems, and Mr. Pat
Gessel and his crew and our tree inspector, Ole Nelson, managed the removal of
many more trees than anticipated with a number of compliments and comparatively
few complaints. In general I have been satisfied with the level of service
provided by North Wood.

While it is clear that some of the complaints we have received were unavoidable,
others pointed to areas where management of the program could be strengthened.
Accordingly, we will review our procedures and the specifications of the
contract to determine where changes could be made, and work together with our
contractor to ensure timely and effective tree removal.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached
As authorized by the City Council, specifications for the furnishing and
installation of a complete new sound system for the City Council Chambers were
prepared by Wm. H. 0. Kroll & Associates, Inc., consulting engineers in
acoustics. That is the same firm which prepared the specifications for
reduction of the noise levels in the Council Chambers last year - a project
which was very successful.
The specifications provide for the use of eleven Beyer M69 microphones, a single
TOA F300 speaker to cover the seating area and three small OWI - 202B speakers
to cover the Council table. These and all the other components of the system,
were selected to assure optimal voice quality. Mr. Kroll advises that this
system will provide a dramatic improvement in "hearability" over the existing
system; and that it is compatible for use with CATV in the event future meetings
are covered by CATV.
Requests for proposals were sent to five contractors and proposals were received
from four of those contractors. Because the lowest proposal received is more
than $1,500 lower than the next lowest, I have asked Mr. Kroll to meet with the
low bidder to thoroughly review the project so as to assure that they fully
understand the City's requirements and are willing to proceed on the basis of
the specifications. Due to illness, Mr. Kroll has not yet been able to do this.
Accordingly, the attached resolution provides for acceptance of the lowest
proposal (from Sound Acoustics, Inc.). Should we receive other information, we
will submit that information and our amended recommendations to the Council at
the 12/18/89 meeting.
It is estimated that the new installation will be fully installed and
operational within 60 days after award of the contract. It is noted that the
specifications require the contractor to have either the old or the new system
operational for all Council meetings and Planning Commission meetings. Actual
installation time is limited to a single 3 -day period..

Comments below /attached
Three proposals have been received for the furnishing and installation of a
humidifier in the City Hall HVAC system. Because of price increases and because
the size of the unit to be installed is larger than the unit on which budget
request was based, the low bid proposal exceeds the line item budget for this
improvement (i.e. - $7,475.00 low bid vs. $6,612.00 budgeted). However, there
are sufficient funds remaining in the Division 19 budget to cover the costs.
Accordingly, acceptance of the low proposal is recommended.
A resolution is provided for consideration by the City Council.
Note: Because payment for this item will not be made until installation is
complete in early 1990, the resolution provides for a reappropriation of the
needed funds to the 1990 budget.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes )
On October 23, 1989, the City Council adopted a resolution accepting and
approving the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) relating to the proposed
reconstruction of 69th Avenue North corridor from the west City limits to Dupont
Avenue North.
Subsequently, the EAW has been submitted to other governmental units and
agencies for their review and comment, as required by law. In addition, copies
have been made available for public review and notices of the availability of
the EAW for public review have been published as required. Attached hereto are
the following items:
o letters received from various agencies (Metro Council, MNDOT and DNR)
o a memo from SEH (our consulting engineers for this project), which
provides our response to the comment received from DNR (Note: no responses
are needed to the letters from the other 2 agencies).
I recommend that the City Council now adopt the attached resolution declaring
that it is unnecessary to prepare an Environmental Assessment Statement for this
project.
With the EAW phase of the project development now completed, it is recommended
that City staff now conduct several public informational meetings with persons
in relatively close proximity (within 2 blocks ?) of 69th Avenue during January
and February. Upon completion of those informal meetings, City staff would then
recommend that the Council schedule a formal public hearing on the proposed
improvement - probably in March or April of 1990. If the Council selects and
•
approves one of the design alternates by May or June of 1990, the City could
then proceed with acquisition of the needed rights -of -way during 1990 and 1991;
completion of final plans, obtain all permits required, etc. in 1990 and 1991;
and with construction in 1992.

deficiencies will be eliminated by flattening curves and moving slightly into
Palmer Lake Park. A Section 6(f) park land conversion process has been
initiated and included by reference in the EAW; and
WHEREAS, the City has submitted a copy of the EAW to all public
agencies on the EAW distribution list, published a notice in the City's official
local newspaper, and published a notice of EAW availability in the EQB Monitor
on October 30, 1989, all of which were done in accordance with State Statute 6
MCAR 3.021; and
WHEREAS, the 30 -day comment period ended on November 29, 1989, with
individual parties and public agencies commenting; and

RE: Improvements to 69th Avenue Corridor
Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW)
Dear Mr. Knapp:
The Department of Natural Resources has reviewed the above - referenced
document, and we offer the following comments for your consideration.
Construction will take place in the 100 -year floodplain of Palmer Lake. More
details are needed on the plans to provide compensation for the loss in flood water
storage. There should be no additional destruction of wooded, wetland habitat.
Depending on the amount of compensating storage needed, some deeper water
areas could be dredged within the large cattail stands near the interior of Palmer
Lake. In addition to providing increased flood storage, wildlife habitat would be
enhanced by creating additional diversity.
We do not consider the loss of 2.4 acres of wetland to be a "minor alteration."
Considering the numerous beneficial values of wetlands and the severe loss of
wetland acreage that has already occurred in the metro area, the City of Brooklyn
Center should strongly consider project alternatives that avoid wetland impacts. If it
can be demonstrated that no alternatives are available, we will provide mitigation
recommendations to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers during the permit process.
The loss of 2.4 acres of mostly wooded wetlands will adversely affect local wildlife
populations. The populations of some species will be permanently reduced.
Unfortunately, the wildlife habitat values of mature, wooded wetlands cannot be
readily replaced.
There is no discussion of impacts at the Shingle Creek crossing. A wooded corridor
exists along the stream on both sides of the road, which provides a travel corridor
for wildlife. Widening of the road and bridge and consequent elimination of this
riparian habitat may adversely affect the movement of wildlife.
Palmer Lake is surrounded by a wetland. If any construction will take place below
an elevation of 842.8 feet (the ordinary high water mark), a protected waters permit
will be needed. Protected waters permits will also be needed to construct storm -
sewer outfalls and detention ponds near Palmer Lake. The peat and other materials
removed during construction should be properly disposed of and not placed in a
protected water or wetland.

A temporary water appropriation permit will be needed if dewatering during
construction exceeds 10,000 gallons per day or one million gallons per year. The
Hennepin County Soil and Water Conservation District should be consulted about
erosion and sedimentation control.
From our perspective, an environmental impact statement is not needed for this
project. Thank you for the opportunity to review this EAW. If you have any
questions regarding our comments, please call Don Buckhout at 612- 296 -8212.

Council staff has conducted a preliminary review of this environmental
assessment worksheet to determine its adequacy and accuracy in addressing
regional concerns. The staff review has concluded that the EAW is complete
and accurate with respect to regional concerns and raises no major issues
of consistency with Council policies. An EIS is not necessary for regional
purposes.
This will conclude the Council's review of the EAW. No formal action on
the EAW will be taken by the Council. If you have any questions or need

69TH AVENU3 IMPROVEMENTS
ENVIRONMENTAL AL ASSESSMENT WORKSHEET
RESPONSE TO AGENCY COMMENTS
iINNESOT?, DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
As mentioned in the EAW, construction is anticipated to take place in
the 100-year floodplain of Palmer Lake. This is due to an adjustment
to the existing 69th Avenue Corridor in the vicinity of Shingle Creek
Parkway. It is the intent of the City to analyze the specific loss in
find water storage and detail compensating measures ( ie. dredging
some deeper water areas of Palmer Lake basin or creation of additional
"ee =`ng ") during the design phase of the proposed project. Both the
Shingle Creek Watershed Commission and the Department of Natural
Resources will be contacted in relation to the design plans.
The EAY, points out the loss of approximately 2.4 acres of wetland in
the Palmer Lake fringe area. As anticipated, the roadway construction
will he out ide of designated LNR protected waters (ie. above 842.8
feet) but fall within the Corps of Engineers classification system.
Effcrts will be made during the design phase of the project to
calculate the specific impact on wetlands. Any necessary coordination
ary perrivting (ie Section 404 permit) will also be undertaken by the
City. Sensitivity to loss of wetlands has been considered in the
analysis of various 69th Avenue improvement alternatives.
The proposed project relates to safety, geometric alignment benefits,
and minimal anticipated impact on the Palmer Lake Park area. The City
has undertaken a Section 6(f) Parkland Conversion process which has
been reviewed and approved by the National Park Service and the
Ninnescta Department of Trade & Economic Development (outdoor
recreation division) .
The p=roject is not anticipated to significantly decrease the size of
the Palmer 7eake Park natural area. However, the City is sensitive to
the relative loss of vegetative and wildlife populations in the
anticipated roadway corridor. Efforts will be made in the de and
construction phase of the project to keep disruption to a minimal
level. Movements of wildlife and further impact on existing
vegatative cover in the balance of the Palmer Lake Park area will be
avoided.
The EAW does not address specific improvements and /or adjustments to
the Shingle Creek Crossing area. Because this will be a future phase
of the project, further study and analysis will be provided to both
loaal and state agencies as an addendum to this EAW or under a
separete EAW process in conjunction with that phase of the project.
Protected waters permits will be requested by the City to construct
storm sewer outfalls and any designed detention ponds near Palmer
Lake. Aithcugh this is not anticipated, necessary protected water
1

•
peits will also be requested to the Department of Natural Resources
for roadway construction below an elevation of 842.8 feet (the
ordinary high water mark) .
A Lem =brarsr water appropriation permit will be requested if dewaterinq
during construction exceeds 10,000 gallons per day or one million
gallons per year. The Hennepin County Soil and Water Conservation
District will also be consulted about erosion and sedimentation
control.

DATE: December 13, 1989
RE: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING REPORT ON WATER WORKS FACILITIES AND APPROVING
PAYMENT FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES
On February 13, 1989 the City Council authorized execution of a contract for
consulting engineering services relating to preparation of a study of the city's
municipal water supply system. That contract, providing for defined services at
a cost not to exceed $33,500 was executed with the firm of Black and Veatch
Engineers and Architects. That contract defined 16 tasks which were to be
performed by the consultant (See Attachment No. 1).
The completed report was submitted to the City and presented to the City
Council on August 14, 1989, with a follow -up report presented on August 28.
Attached hereto (Attachment No. 2) is a letter from Black and Veatch dated
10/25/89 in which they advise that their "billable costs" exceeded the
maximum allowed under the contract by more than $16,000. In that letter they
note that the overrun occurred on five items, i.e.:
Contract
Item No. and Description Work Task No.
(1) evaluation of effects of weather on water use 4 and 5
(2) additional distribution system modeling to determine
effectiveness of elevated storage 11
(3) Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) assessment 8
(4) report preparation with executive summary and appendices 15
(5) Council presentation of report with slides 16
Unfortunately, the consultant did not account for hours spent during the -
contract based on the tasks defined in the contract. However, it is my opinion
that the consultant is correct in reporting the total "billable costs" and in
jo\C-t C6'
MOW
p NU 111-LIOKA CITY

identifying the items on which the overruns occurred. Based on my knowledge of
their work effort, it is my belief that approximately 75% of the overrun
occurred on Item 2 - distribution system modeling (Task 11). This occurred
during the early part of the study and, it occurred because Black and Veatch's
staff developed a concept which would greatly improve the effectiveness of
water tower No. 2 during peak demand periods, then proceeded to complete
several system analyses to "prove out" that concept. Fortunately, that concept
did prove out, resulting in an unanticipated, but substantial plan improvement.
Unfortunately, this additional work was completed without prior notice to the
City and without our authorization. When I became aware of this overrun on
Task 11, (in May 1989) I requested the consultant to complete the balance of
their contract, before requesting additional payment.
Regarding Item 1 - effects of weather on water use (Tasks 4 and 5), I believe
the time spent by the consultant is only slightly higher than he originally
estimated.
Regarding Item 3 - SDWA assessment (Task 8), there is little doubt that the
consultant spent considerably more time in developing this part of the report,
and in providing information which we needed for the purpose of advising our
congressional delegation of the impacts of the SDWA on the City.
Regarding Item 4 - report preparation (Task 15), there is no doubt that the
consultant spent additional time re- writing the report into a format which we
found to be acceptable. However, I do not feel our requirements were
unreasonable.
Regarding Item 5 - presentation of report to City Council (Task 16), I believe
that the consultant's presentation to the Council was not anticipated in their
contract, but that it was necessary and that it was excellent.
Summary and Recommendations:
In summary, I believe Black and Veatch's report is excellent, and that it
includes some unanticipated improvements to the plan which will enhance future
operations of the system.
Accordingly, while we have no contractual obligation to reimburse them for extra
services performed, I do recommend approval of their request for a 50/50 cost
sharing of the overrun, thus providing additional compensation in the amount of
$8,054.54. I believe this to be a fair and reasonable settlement.

Water System Study October 25, 1989
In accordance with our conversation with you prior to our report presenta-
tion to the City Council on August 14, 1989 and our subsequent telephone
conversation this date, we are enclosing herewith our Final Invoice
No. 15521.102 -10 -9 -290 in the amount of $5,894.47 plus an extra work
request.
During the course of this project, we provided additional engineering ser-
vices on several tasks at a level of detail which were not envisioned in
the original scope of services. However, we believe that this extra engi-
neering effort was necessary to provide Brooklyn Center with a quality
product. Areas in which additional time and effort were spent included the
following: (1) evaluation of the weather on water use (Appendix B);
(2) additional distribution system modeling to determine the effectiveness
of elevated storage (Appendix D, page D -4); (3) Safe drinking water act
assessment (Appendix C); (4) report preparation with executive summary and
Appendix sections; and (5) Council presentation of report with slides.
The extra work required on these tasks were primarily the result of eval-
uating the water use restrictions, analyzing supply and storage require-
ments, impacts of the SDWA regulations and the isolation of Tank No. 2.
The latter item resulted in a recommendation that utilized Tank No. 2
storage volume effectively. The dollar value of Tank No. 2 would be in
excess of $1,000,000. We feel this one recommendation would justify the
extra work request.
As a result of this extra effort, we exceeded the maximum billing limit by
$16,091.09. Records of our direct labor costs and reimbursable expenses
pertaining to the services covered by our Contract were kept on the basis
of generally acceptable accounting practices and are available for review
by the City.

50/50 cost sharing of this overrun or $8,045.54 to provide compensation for
the additional services provided. We feel our request to increase the
contract limit by $8,045.54 is fair and reasonable. However, if the City
is unable to accept our request, we are receptive to the City establishing
the adjustment amount. Your consideration in this matter is greatly
appreciated.
Regarding your request of the impact of delaying construction of the
24 inch main on 69th Avenue for a few years, we conducted two separate
analyses that confirmed the effectiveness of Tank No. 2, if the tank was
isolated from the transmission mains on 69th Avenue. With the initial
improvements constructed, as marked on the enclosed print, Tank No. 2
contributed about 1.5 mgd during peak water demand periods. However,
without the isolation of Tank No. 2 from the 30 inch and 16 inch in
69th Avenue, Tank No. 2 remained full during peak demand periods. After
your review of the enclosed sketch, please call us if you have any
questions.

*********************************************************** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * **
SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes )
Purchase of a third sidewalk snowplow and blower is recommended for the
following reasons:
1. The City has constructed several miles of additional sidewalks during the
past 5 years. The current total is 46 miles.
2. During the winter of 1988 -89, the City started plowing additional trails.
At this time approximately 6 miles of trails are being plowed.
3. The addition of a third unit would assist in the clearing of skating rinks.
4. The two existing units are getting older (i.e. - one is a 1982 model, the
other is a 1983 model) and both have had heavy usage. As a result, they
require more repairs, thus having more "down- time." During the winter of
1988 -89, one of the two units was out -of- service approximately 25% of those
times when plowing was needed.
Purchase of the third unit was recommended in the 1990 budget request. Because
of budget constraints the City Council deleted this item from the approved
budget, but requested City staff to submit a recommendation for an alternative
funding source. Accordingly, the staff recommends that the required funds be
appropriated from the local Municipal State Aid Street Fund, i.e. - Account No.
2600 - MSA Fund Balance Expendable.
The attached specifications are submitted for approval by the City Council. If
approval is granted on 12/18/89, bids will be received prior to the January 8,
1990 meeting. It is possible that one of the suppliers may have a unit "in
stock." If so, delivery could be made in early January. If no unit is in
stock, we estimate that delivery would be made in late February or early March.
Out estimated cost for this unit is $47,000.00.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached )
At the time we bid the phone system for the City Hall, the municipal garage was inadvertently
eliminated from the specification for the new system. The new system proposed for the garage takes
into account the additional phones that were approved in the 1989 budget. It also replaces an old
system with new (same) equipment from Norstan, Inc. to be maintained by them. In addition, the
proposal provides a new paging system for the garage replacing our current (homemade) system.
I will be available Monday to discuss this proposal.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Approved in the 1990 budget is a cadet program for the police department. The
purpose of the program is to attract minorities interested in law enforcement and
expose them to all aspects of police work. The cadets will be eligible for openings
in the code enforcement officer positions as they become available. It is then hoped
that we will be able to move these individuals into open police officer positions when
they become fully trained and finish their schooling. The individuals would be
evaluated often during their progress and individuals who do not show promise would
be eliminated from the program. The program is explained in more detail in the
attached booklet.
(supplemental sheets attached yes )
The costs of the two -year degree and skills course required to become a law
enforcement officer are often higher than many minorities have the resources to
afford. The attached resolution is for a program in which the two -year law
enforcement training and skills courses would be paid for by the City of Brooklyn
Center. We believe this program will be a great help to attract minorities to the
cadet program and ultimately as police officers in Brooklyn Center.
• The City Council approve the resolution authorizing certain benefits for the cadet
program participants.

PROGRAM AND AUTHORIZING CERTAIN BENEFITS FOR PROGRAM
PARTICIPANTS
WHEREAS, on February 24, 1989, the commissioner of the
Minnesota Department of Human Rights issued a certificate of
compliance certifying the City of Brooklyn Center's affirmative
action plan; and
WHEREAS, the City's certificate of compliance is
subject to revocation or suspension by the commissioner of Human
Rights for failure to make a good faith effort to implement the
affirmative action plan; and
WHEREAS, the City's plan identifies a manifest
imbalance in the number of minorities and women in the protective
services job group which may be the result of past hiring
practices; and
WHEREAS, in order to address the imbalance in this job
group and to make a good faith effort in compliance of the
affirmative action plan, the Brooklyn Center City Council wishes
to approve the creation of a police department cadet program
which will provide on- the -job training for individuals by
offering them an entry -level opportunity into the police
profession. The participants should gain experience which may
enhance an individual's potential for advancement to a full -time
sworn police officer position; and
WHEREAS, to attract candidates to the program and,
consequently, to advance the City's affirmative action goals, the
City Council wishes to provide certain specific benefits to
participants in the police department's cadet program.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of
the City of Brooklyn Center that:
1. The City Council hereby approves the creation of a
police department cadet program.
2. The City Council hereby authorizes the City to pay
for the costs of tuition, fees, and books incurred
by the cadets while they are actively employed in

SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
(supplemental sheets attached
The 1989 General Fund budget allocates $5,000 for the printing of 15,000 copies of a community
information map /flyer which will be distributed to residents of Brooklyn Center. It is expected that
the new phone system for City offices will be operational in January 1990. With the new phone
system will come new phone numbers. The map /flyer will be an excellent vehicle for publicizing the
new numbers, so staff would like to delay the printing of the map /flyer until 1990 when the new
numbers will be known and available. City Council action is required to transfer the funds from the
1989 budget to the 1990 budget.

Budget provides $5,000 for the printing of a community information map /flyer;
and
WHEREAS, in 1990, the City will be installing a new telephone
system which will include new telephone numbers for City offices; and
WHEREAS, it is desirable to delay the printing of the map /flyer

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached )
HISTORY:
During the month of December of each year, the City Council has traditionally reviewed the
compensation plan for the following year. This plan is attached and, as in past years, includes the
salary and benefit plan for all City employees who are nonorganized. Portions of the compensation
plan include references to salaries and fringe benefits for organized groups of employees, but they
are reflections of their contract provisions.
ANALYSIS:
The attached 1990 proposed compensation plan recommends a general salary increase of 4.1%.
Attached is a table indicating the history of the Consumer Price Index as compared to general salary
increases given by the City of Brooklyn Center for nonorganized employees. We have contacted a
significant number of suburban municipalities (see attachment), and it appears that the
recommendation going before city councils in these municipalities is for a salary increase in the area
of 4 %. Some a bit higher and some a bit lower, but generally in the area of 4 %. Attached is a copy
of the Council resolution approving the implementation plan for pay equity legislation (comparable
worth). 1990 will be the last year of the phased in implementation program. In accordance with this
resolution, the proposed general salary increase would go only to those positions which fall within or
below the 110% comparable worth line. The history of Brooklyn Center nonorganized employees
salary increases indicate that generally over time they lag behind the inflation rate by roughly .5 %.
There are times during previous years when the increases were a bit higher than the inflation rate,
and times when they were a similar amount below. It has been the City Council's consistent
practice, because the City as an organization competes with public and private sector employers in
the metropolitan area for competent personnel, to keep our wages in line with market conditions and
also consider the Pay Equity Act requirements as per our pay equity plan. Because it is in our best
interest to keep our salaries in line with metropolitan employment markets, we have used, over the
years, the DCA Stanton Group Survey (which is attached) to evaluate and compare our salaries with
similar jobs in other jurisdictions.
In 1990 we are proposing an increase in the employer contribution toward employee insurance
coverage of $25 per month or a total of $240 per month per employee. In 1990 the three group
insurance plans available to Brooklyn Center employees, Physicians of Minnesota (PHP), Group Health,
Inc. and Med Center plans, have experienced increased premium costs, and the proposed increase in
contribution matches the proposed contribution recently negotiated in the police LELS Local 82
contract settlement. The proposed employer contribution increase represents a sharing in the
increased costs of insurance coverages for the employee. This is in keeping with a past practice of
the City of Brooklyn Center that it's in the best interest of the employer and the employee that
there be a joint contribution to these insurance programs to assist in controlling costs.
The attached pay plan also calls for the addition of one holiday to the current schedule of 11
holidays. In negotiations with our other bargaining units, it is proposed that this additional holiday
be granted. We are also proposing it for nonorganized employees. This additional holiday would
bring us in line with the majority of metropolitan communities which currently allow for 12 paid
holidays.
On your agenda Monday evening you will also be considering a proposed two year contract settlement
with police LELS Local 82. The joint bargaining process for Local 49 is currently active, and we
/anticipate an agreement very close along the lines of the proposal for our nonorganized employees.
We are hopeful we can achieve this agreement with Local 49 in time for you to consider an
agreement at your January 8, 1990, meeting and should we be successful we could avoid any
retroactive pay considerations.
The pay plan contains a section which sets out the City's education reimbursement program. This
program has been in effect for approximately 25 years, and this year we propose a modification.
Currently the program provides for 60% employer reimbursement for employer approved education
courses upon successful completion of a course. The current regulations also provide for two years
employment with the City before they are eligible for the program. We are proposing to change this
eligibility requirement. The proposed compensation plan calls for a minimum of 18 months City
employment before becoming eligible for the 60% reimbursement and if an employee has been with us
more than five years, the City would pay up to 75% of tuition costs upon successful completion of a
course. We believe that coordinating the timing of the tuition reimbursement program to the 18
month mark for 60% reimbursement makes more sense and coordinates with employee development and
pay patterns. We are requesting an increase in the City reimbursement for tuition for longer term
employees to encourage employees to consistently better themselves in their chosen field and, thus,
keeping abreast of current technology and other job requirements.
RECOMMENDATION:
We recommend your favorable consideration of this proposed resolution adopting the 1990 pay plan.
We believe it recognizes employment market conditions in the Twin City area and keeps the City's
benefits and pay at a level which will attract and retain competent, capable employees.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
(supplemental sheets attached
The attached resolution adjusts the 1989 General Fund budget so that no
department should exceed its appropriation. This adjustment becomes
necessary because of the eighteen month lapse of time between budget
preparation and the conclusion of the budget year. In the case of the
departments listed in section 1, there simply were higher levels of
activity than were anticipated and these costs will have to be covered
by a transfer from the contingency appropritation. The Health
Department costs are rising because of Broolyn Park dropping out of
the joint program with Crystal and Brooklyn Center. The two Recreation
departments listed in section 2, experienced higher participation
levels, resulting in both revenue and expenditure increases. A further
increase in the Legal Counsel budget was needed beyond what could be
provided by the transfer from the Unallocated Department, so that was
offset by an increase in the estimated revenues for Court Fines.in
Section 3. Legal costs and court fines have at least an indirect
relationship.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
(supplemental sheets attached )
In the past, the City has issued Temporary Improvement Master Notes,
and sold them to its Investment Trust Fund, to temporarily finance
Special Assessment improvements which are later permanently financed by
the sale of long -term improvement bonds. The need now exists to use
this same financing vehicle to provide construction financing for the
Earle Brown Farm Restoration Project. Work was begun using other
financing sources which have now been exhausted. It is recommended
that an interest rate of 8% be charged on this Master Note as that is
approximately what the City is earning on its investments, and reasonable
in relation to what it would cost the E.D.A. to sell bonds.

WHEREAS, the Earle Brown Farm Restoration Project was begun in
1985 and financed by the sale of bonds, C.D.B.G. grants, tax increments

construction costs until November 1989; and
WHEREAS, there is now a need for interim financing of the Earle
Brown Farm Restoration Project until the project completed and permanent
financing can be arrainged through the sale of bonds.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of

1. The Economic Development Authority is authorized to issue a
Temporary Improvement Master Note to finance the construction

Accordingly, we recommend that this fund be closed and the remaining
assets be transfered to the Capitol Projects Fund. Revenues during 1989
from investment earnings and tax collections can't be determined until
year end, but will exceed the year's debt service cost. The final -

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached
The city has received a settlement of the franchise fee from the
Northwest Suburbs Cable Communications Commission in the amount of
$234,238.49. The Commission recommended that this money be used to
improve cable TV facilities within the city. A need for such
improvements has been recognized by both the City Council and staff for
some time. The most prominent of these needs are the audio and lighting
facilities in the City Council Chambers.
To accomplish this end, it is proposed to deposit the settlement in the
Capital Projects Fund and immediately appropriate it to a project for
cable TV improvements. It will be necessary for staff to return to the
Council later with a detailed plan for improvements and costs when that
has been determined.

I. EAR TIE
The parties of this agreement are political subdivisions of the
State of Minnesota. This agreement is made pursuant to Minnesota Statutes
Section 471.59, as amended.
I1 _ GENERAL ruRr a :
The parties hereto find that drug abuse, and related criminal
activities, have increase significantly within their communities in recent -
years. The completion and opening of the Highway 610 bridge over the
Mississippi River has provided a corridor for drug trafficking between the
parties. The nature of drug law enforcement does not lend itself to
jurisdictional boundaries, and the individual parties hereto suffer from
resource shortages which make effective, organized enforcement difficult
on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis.
The general purpose of this agreement is to provide coordination
and joint enforcement of drug laws within the parties particularly in the
areas of street -level controlled substance enforcement although
clandestine laboratories, forfeiture and financial investigations, and
conspiracies will be dealt with as the needs arise.

******************* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * **
SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached X )
Since October 10, 1989, the City Council has been considering the possibility of
revoking Mr. Irwin Ketroser's rental dwelling license to operate the rental
dwellings at 6525, 6527, 6529 North Willow Lane due to the number of continuing
Housing Maintenance and Occupancy Ordinance violations.
This matter was considered on October 10 with the owner given an opportunity to make
his case as to why the license should not be revoked. The Council also listened to a
number of neighboring residents comment on the lack of maintenance, particularly on
the exterior and other problems associated with the operation of the complex.
Also, the Council reviewed various staff reports listing the history of maintenance
problems as well as the existing problems and recommending the license be revoked.
At the October 10, 1989 meeting the City Council directed the staff to prepare a
resolution denying the license for this complex and also to prepare some cost
estimates as to what it would cost to make the necessary repairs in order for the
complex to be in compliance with the ordinance. These matters were to be presented
to the City Council at their November 13, 1989 meeting.
These matters were prepared and presented to the City Council on November 13. Mr.
Ketroser also appeared at that meeting asking the Council to reconsider the license
revocation, noting that he had corrected some of the violations and had retained an
experienced individual by the name of Bill Allen to manage the property for him.
Ketroser also noted that all of the deficiencies would be corrected if he could be
given additional time and that he was willing to post a financial guarantee to assure
the completion of the necessary work in a timely manner.
The City Council continued the consideration of the revocation of the license until
December 18, 1989 and directed the staff and Mr. Ketroser to work out an agreement
and a cash guarantee based on various bids received to do the necessary work.
The Housing Inspector and I met with Mr. Allen on November 27, 1989 to discuss what
work needed to be accomplished and presented him with a copy of a memo from the
Housing Inspector dated November 27 listing the areas in need of correction (copy
attached).
All of the interior type work listed on that memo has been corrected and the areas
still needing to be addressed fall into four categories, all relating to exterior
improvements which cannot be totally accomplished until the spring of next year.
These items include the following:
1. Repair of the stucco on the exterior of the apartment buildings and the
garage. The easterly side of the building in particular is in need of such
repair including the patching of cracks, the replacement of deteriorated
stucco and a washing, whitewashing or painting of the exterior. Portions
of the north and south walls of the building also need such attention. We
do not believe, and have not requested, that the entire building be
restuccoed and repainted. The garage also, is in need of repair and
painting. Attached is a copy of a proposal from S and B Maintenance to
make the necessary exterior building repairs and painting with an
estimated cost of $3,125.00.
2. We also requested Mr. Allen to submit a landscape plan to address areas
lacking in landscaping or which have been worn away due to lack of
maintenance or overuse of the property. Attached is a copy of a landscape
plan and a proposal in the amount of $1,200.00 by Sharp Maintenance to do
some landscaping on the site. The landscape proposal includes adding
shrubs and wood chips in a landscape planting area at the southeast portion
of the property; to add a split rail fence and wood chips in an area of
evergreen trees at the southeast corner of the building; to remove
inoperable gas lamp posts and some dead and dying shrubs located along the
easterly boulevard and entrance walk areas; to add two new trees in the
easterly boulevard and entrance walk area and to address the need for weed
removal and fertilizer in the remainder of the yard areas.
3. A need to aerate and overseed most of the lawn on the property in order for a
viable ground cover to be established and maintained. Attached is a
proposal from Commercial Lawn Service, Inc. for aeration and overseeding
of the property and for four fertilizer and weed killer applications. The
total estimate is $690.00 for the 1990 season.
4. Finally, there is a need to repair and replace rotted or deteriorating wood
on landings in the exterior stairways to the rear of the building. No cost
estimate has been provided, however, Mr. Allen intends to undertake this
project himself.
An agreement has been drafted (copy attached) addressing these four categories of
improvements and requiring that these matters be addressed by June 30, 1990. The
agreement also calls for a financial guarantee in the amount of $6,000.00 to be
posted with the City to assure that these matters are complied with by the June 30
date. The $6,000 financial guarantee is based on the estimates submitted by Mr.
Allen (which amount to a little over $5,000) plus approximately $1,000 additional to
comprehend completing the rear stairway work and the removal of the gas lamp posts
which are going to be done by Mr. Allen's crew.
The resolution presented for the City Council's consideration lists the history of
this consideration, noting that the City Council is prepared to revoke the rental
dwelling license for the complex, but will allow the license to continue through the
normal licensing period (the license will expire on July 31, 1990) provided Mr.
Ketroser execute the agreement and post the appropriate financial guarantee.
It is recommended that the City Council adopt this resolution and direct the Mayor
and the City Manager to execute the performance agreement on behalf of the City.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached X
Planning Commission Application No. 89024 submitted by Tim Johnson /Subway
Sandwiches is a request for special use permit approval to operate a convenience
food restaurant in the retail building located at 1950 57th Avenue North (the
Northbrook Shopping Center). This application was considered by the Planning
Commission at its October 26, 1989 meeting and the Commission's consideration of
this matter can be found on pages 1 through 3 of their October 26, 1989 minutes. The
Planning Commission recommended approval of this application subject to four
conditions which can be found on the bottom of page 2 and the top of page 3 of their
minutes. Attached for the City Council's consideration are the minutes relating to
this application and a copy of the Planning Commission Information Sheet for this
application. As the information sheet points out, there is, because of the
multiple parcels at the Northbrook Shopping Center, no abutment between a
convenience food restaurant and properties zoned 81, R2 or R3. The report also goes
on to recommend consideration of an ordinance amendment dealing with small,
primarily carry -out, food establishments or restaurants as opposed to the more
traditional type convenience food restaurant.
Recommendation
The recommendation of the Planning Commission is that an ordinance amendment be
adopted which would make a distinction between such establishments allowing the
smaller establishment to be in shopping centers or attached multiple- tenant
buildings (as opposed to single - freestanding establishments) which may abut 81, R2
or R3 zoned property including abutment at a street line. Mr. Steve Fiterman, the
owner of the property adjacent to the Superamerica property along 66th Avenue North,
had also requested the City to give consideration to such an ordinance amendment.
The Planning Commission did recommend an ordinance amending Chapter 35 of the City
Ordinances clarifying the definition of convenience food restaurants. The affect
of the ordinance would be that an establishment with less than 40 dining seats would
no longer be considered a convenience food restaurant for purposes of the ordinance
even though it met all of the other definitional criteria in the ordinance. This
would then allow these establishments to be considered a permitted use in a C2 zoning
district and there would be no restriction regarding their location adjacent to or
across the street from 81, R2 or R3 zoned property.

Commissioner McCloskey noted a change on page 5 in the third paragraph from the
bottom that the word should be "fills ", rather than "fails." Motion by
Commissioner Ainas seconded by Commissioner Mann to approve the minutes of the
August 17, 1989 Planning Commission meeting as corrected. Voting in favor:
Chairperson Malecki, Commissioners Sander, Bernards, Ainas, Johnson, Mann and
McCloskey. Voting against: none. The motion passed.
APPLICATION NO. 89024 (Tim Johnson /Subway Sandwiches)
Following the Chairperson's explanation, the Secretary introduced the first item of
business, a request for special use permit approval to operate a convenience food
restaurant in the retail building at 1950 57th Avenue North (part of Northbrook
Shopping Center). The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report (see
Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 89024 attached). The
Secretary noted that the proposed hours of operation were from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00
a.m., rather than 2:00 p.m. as noted in the report.
Chairperson Malecki asked the applicant whether he had anything to add. Mr. Tim
Johnson stated that he had nothing to add to the staff report. Chairperson Malecki
asked whether the Chuckwagon was still located at Northbr000k Shopping Center. The
Secretary answered in the affirmative, noting that it was in the northerly building.
The Planner stated that the Chuckwagon has not been considered a convenience food
restaurant although there is some carry -out of food from the establishment and it
does abut R3 zoned property across the street.
Commissioner Bernards asked what the hours of the shopping center and Superamerica
were. The Secretary stated that he was not sure of the hours of the shopping center,
but that Superamerica was a 24 hour operation. He stated that the liquor store's
hours were regulated by State law. Commissioner Bernards asked whether there might
be a police problem because of the late hours. The Secretary stated that there
would probably be somewhat of a demand for police services during the late hours.
Commissioner Bernards stated that if the sandwich shop were the only establishment
open that late, he could see more of a problem, but that as long as Superamerica is
open across the street, there may be more people around to prevent crime problems.
PUBLIC HEARING (Application No. 89024)
Chairperson Malecki then opened the meeting for a public hearing and asked whether
anyone present wished to speak regarding the application. Ms. Beverly Holmes, of
5649 Logan Avenue North, stated that she was concerned regarding the 2:00 a.m.
closing. She stated that she was concerned that it might create another hangout for
young people. Ms. Holmes stated that Superamerica is already somewhat of a hangout
and that this establishment may also be one.
The Secretary suggested that perhaps the applicant should respond to the issue of
hours of operation. Mr. Tim Johnson stated that he had three existing shops in the
Metro area and that he is also concerned regarding security at those establishments.
He stated that he is not sure that the security problem could be solved by cutting
back hours. Chairperson Malecki asked how Mr. Johnson would deal with the problem
if it became a hangout. Mr. Johnson responded that if people were hanging out at the
establishment, the policy is to shut down the dining area and limit service to the
carry -out business. If the problem persists, the manager may call the police.
Commissioner Bernards asked how many employees would be working until 2:00 a.m.
Mr. Johnson responded that there would be two employees. Commissioner McCloskey
asked if there was that much business at such an establishment at 2:00 a.m. Mr.
Johnson responded that he is required by the parent company to have hours at least
until midnight, Sunday through Thursday, and until 2:00 a.m. on Friday and
Saturday. He stated that the main reason for staying open that late is to prepare
food for the following day.
Chairperson Malecki asked whether the City could limit the hours of operation if it
becomes a problem. The Secretary pointed out that the City has not limited the
hours at Superamerica and that the City would probably have to deal with the
establishment as an enforcement problem.
Chairperson Malecki asked whether anyone else wished to speak regarding the
application. Hearing no one, she called for a motion to close the public hearing.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Motion by Commissioner Sander seconded by Commissioner Ainas to close the public
hearing. The motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Sander asked whether the Northbrook Shopping Center will have to
replat its property. The Secretary responded that he had an agreement from the
property owner stipulating that a replat would be done within the relatively near
future. The Planner went on to explain that there was a Building Code problem which
arose when the Bosa Donut store was demolished and the Northbrook Shopping Center
store had openings put in along a property line. He explained that the resolution
of that problem was a commitment to combine the properties for tax purposes and that
the property owner had indicated a desire to replat. The Planner also noted that
the property had been replatted during the 1970's into three parcels because the NSP
power lines were located over a separate parcel. He stated that this is not usually
required, but may have been demanded by NSP.
ACTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO. 89024 (Tim Johnson /Subway
Sandwiches
Motion by Commissioner Ainas seconded by Commissioner McCloskey to recommend
approval of Application No. 89024, 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. The kitchen plans and the kitchen equipment schedule are subject
to review and approval by the City Sanitarian prior to the
issuance of permits.

•
3. The special use permit is subject to all applicable codes,
ordinances, and regulations, and any violation thereof shall be
grounds for revocation.
4. The special use permit is granted only for the specific use
proposed by the applicant. The use may not be altered or
expanded in any way without first securing an amendment to this
special use permit.
Voting in favor: Chairperson Malecki, Commissioners Sander, Bernards, Johnson,
Mann and McCloskey. Voting against: none. The motion passed.
Commissioner Bernards stated that he had some concerns and reservations regarding
the hours. He stated that he hoped the proprietor would watch the activity at the
shop and that the police would watch it as well.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
Ordinance Amendment Regarding Convenience Food Restaurants
The Secretary noted that a draft ordinance amendment regarding the definition for
convenience food restaruants was contained in the Planning Commission's agenda
packet. He stated that the amendment would eliminate establishments with 40 seats
or less from the convenience food establishment category. He stated that staff did
not feel that these smaller, primarily carry —out establishments, were really
intended to be regulated as severely as establishments such as McDonald's, Burger
King, etc. The Planner also noted that the ordinance change would continue to
classify as a convenience food restaurant any establishment with the
characteristics of a convenience food restaurant if it is located in a separate
building. He pointed to the example of Kentucky Fried Chicken, which has limited
seating, but which also has a drive —up window and can generate a fair amount of
traffic and whose building treatment is basically a sign. Commissioner Johnson
asked how Kentucky Fried Chicken would be defined. The Secretary responded that it
would be a convenience food restaurant because it has seating and because it does
serve food in the manner defined in the Zoning Ordinance.
Ms. Beverly Holmes commented that she would prefer not to have a Kentucky Fried
Chicken establishment located next door to her. She expressed concerns regarding
the hours, the litter and the lighting of such establishments.
ACTION RECOMMENDING ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REGARDING CONVENIENCE FOOD
RESTAURANTS
Motion by Commissioner Ainas seconded by Commissioner Johnson to recommend adoption
of an ordinance amendment relating to the definition of convenience food
restaurants as drafted in the staff report. Voting in favor: Chairperson
Malecki, Commissioners Sander, Bernards, Ainas, Johnson, Mann and McCloskey.
Voting against: none. The motion passed.
Housing District Boundary Change
The Secretary then noted that the Commission needed to comment on a proposed change
in a housing district boundary as to whether it was consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan. He asked Economic Development Authority Coordinator Brad
Hoffman to give the Commission background on this subject.
10 -26 -89 -3-
Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 89024
Applicant: Timothy Johnson /Subway Sandwiches
Location: 1950 57th Avenue North
Request: Special Use Permit
The applicant requests special use permit approval to operate a convenience food
restaurant in the southerly building of the Northbrook Shopping Center at 1950 57th
Avenue North. The property in question is zoned C2 and is bounded on the north by a
parcel within Northbrook Center which is dedicated to use by NSP for overhead lines
and surface parking, on the east by Logan Avenue North and Acme Typewriter, on the
south by the old Bosa Donuts parcel (now part of Northbrook and used for parking),
Bill West's 76 station and 57th Avenue North, and on the west by an entrance ramp
serving Highway 100. Convenience food restaurants are defined in Section 35
are allowed in the C2 zone by special use permit, but cannot abut R1, R2, or R3 zoned
property, either at a property line on a street line. The single- family houses on
the east side of Logan, across from the parcel in question are zoned R4 and are
nonconforming uses. There are also townhouses, zoned R3, across from the northerly
building of the shopping center. However, that building is located on a separate
parcel. The parcel that the southerly building is located on does not abut the
townhouses and, therefore, technically, this use does not abut R1, R2, or R3 zoned
property, either at a property line or across a street.
The applicant has submitted a preliminary tenant improvement plan for the space
which is at the southwest corner of the building. The tenant space is approximately
1,330 sq. ft. The plan proposes seating for 36 people. The south building is
approximately 12,500 sq. ft. in area. Under Section 35 704.2c of the Zoning
Ordinance, a retail center may have up to 15% of the floor area of the building
devoted to restaurant use without providing additional parking beyond what is
required by the retail formula. In this case, 15% of the building is approximately
1,875 sq. ft. There is another food establishment in the building, but, because it
has no seating (it is a Chinese food carry -out place), it is not classified as a
restaurant. Therefore, it does not count toward the 15% allowance for restaurants.
Since the proposed space of 1,330 sq. ft. is less than 15% of the south building, it
requires no additional parking based on the restaurant formula.
The proposed establishment is primarily a carry -out establishment, but they do
expect have some eat -in patrons around lunch and dinnertime. There will be no
drive -up window. The hours of operation are likely to be 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m.
every day of the week. The proposed establishment is classified as a convenience
food restaurant because it has the following ordinance described characteristics
(from Section 35 -900):
"1. Foods, frozen desserts, or beverages are usually served in edible
containers or in paper, plastic, or other disposable containers.
2. The customer is not served food at his /her table by an employee,
but receives it at a counter /window, or similar facility for
carrying to another location on or off the premises for
consumption."
10 -26 -89 -1-
Application No. 89024 continued
Clearly, both these characteristics apply in this case and they define a convenience
food restaurant. We have not classified carry -out establishments which have no
seating as convenience food restaurants (since they are not restaurants without
seating) , but as the retail sale of prepared food. As far as determining whether a
convenience food restaurant abuts R1, 02, or R3 zoned property, the only indicator
we have ever used is the boundaries of the parcels, not the location of the building
on the parcel. In this case, the Northbrook Shopping Center is composed of multiple
parcels and the parcel in question happens not to abut 01, R2, or R3 property.
However, it is also important to note that the Zoning Ordinance requires that
developments which have a single use and a single ownership be combined into a single
parcel through platting or registered land survey. That should be done in this case
and the owner has indicated an intention too do so. However, if that were
accomplished in this case, the proposed convenience food restaurant would either
not be allowed or, if existing, would become a nonconforming use.
The Commission may wish to consider an ordinance amendment which would make a
distinction between an establishment such as the one proposed which has limited
seating, no drive -up window, and is primarily carry -out, and the more traditional
convenience food restuarant such as McDonald's and Burger King, which have more
seating, more eat -in customers, and often a drive -up window. Smaller, primarily
carry -out establishments could perhaps be classified as a permitted or special use
without an abutment restriction. We have had contacts with Mr. Fiterman regarding
a couple of possible carry -out establishments with seating in the proposed shopping
center at 66th and Camden Avenues North which is across the street from R3 zoned
land. We, therefore, have expected this issue to arise. If possible, we will have
a draft ordinance available for discussion at Thursday's meeting.
Nevertheless, the application before the Commission can be acted on without an
ordinance amendment. We would recommend approval, 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. The kitchen plans and the kitchen equipment schedule are subject
to review and approval by the City Sanitarian prior to the
issuance of permits.
3. The special use permit is subject to all applicable codes,
ordinances, and regulations, and any violation thereof shall be
grounds for revocation.
4. The special use permit is granted only for the specific use
proposed by the applicant. The use may not be altered or
expanded in any way without first securing an amendment to this
special use permit.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached X )
On the City Council's November 13, 1989 agenda is a Sign Ordinance amendment which
has been reviewed and recommended by the Planning Commission at its October 26, 1989
meeting. The amendment changes the Sign Ordinance in three ways:
1. Classifies signs advertising or identifying businesses that are no longer
in operation as off - premise advertising signs (or billboards) which makes
such signs prohibited by the ordinance. It also provides for a procedure
to notify property owners and for abatement if such signs are not removed
within a specified period of time.
2. Allows larger and higher freestanding signs in the C1 and C1A zoning
districts for Service /Office uses.
3. Allows public uses such as churches, synagogues, temples and other public
or semi - public uses including schools entitled to a second freestanding
sign to have the option of one larger and higher sign in certain cases.
Attached is a copy of pages 5 through 7 of the Planning Commission's October 26, 1989
minutes relating to this Sign Ordinance amendment and also a copy of an October 10,
1989 memo relating to these subjects and various sign surveys conducted by the City
Planner.
The first part of this Sign Ordinance Amendment relating to the abatement of signs at
abandoned building sites is related to a deficiency in our ordinance which was
discovered after the Showbiz Pizza operation pulled out of its building on John
Martin Drive. This portion of the amendment makes it clear that such signs are to be
removed, and if they are not removed in a timely manner, a procedure for 'City
abatement can be undertaken.
The other two aspects of this Sign Ordinance amendment are related to research and
review undertaken by the City staff after the submission of a variance request by the
Brooklyn Center School District. The staff agreed to research other Sign
Ordinances to see if there might be justification for an ordinance amendment
allowing larger signs for public or semi - public uses such as the high school after it
appeared that the variance request would not meet the Standards for a Variance
contained in the Sign Ordinance (Note: As a point of information, variance
requests have often been used as a vehicle for the Planning Commission and City
Council to discuss ordinance amendments, even though variance standard arguments
are not strong).
Brooklyn Center High School currently has a 13' high, 60 sq. ft. (6' x 10')
freestanding sign. The sign is nonconforming in that it is larger and higher than
what the City's Sign Ordinance allows for all public and semi - public places or uses
in any zoning districts. The Sign Ordinance limits such signs to 36 sq. ft. in area
and 10'high. It allows a second freestanding sign if the use abuts two or more
streets. The school district wanted to replace the nonconforming sign, which is in
need of major repair, with an aesthetically more attractive sign, but one which is
also slightly larger and higher than the existing sign. They proposed a new sign
approximately 67 sq. ft. in area and 14 1/2' high. Such a sign could not be
permitted under the City Ordinances.
It should be noted that the current Sign Ordinance limitations for freestanding
signs for public and semi- public uses are the same as for Service /Office uses in the
C1 and CIA zoning districts. For this reason, we believed it was important to
survey other communities regarding their Service /Office sign criteria as well as
their public and semi - public sign criteria. It did not seem appropriate to perhaps
allow larger signs for public and semi - public uses, which are often in or close to
single - family residential areas, than would be allowed in C1 or CIA districts.
The Planner's survey indicated that the Brooklyn Center Sign Ordinance limitations
of 36 sq. ft. in area and 10' high for office uses in limited business districts were
below the overall average of other cities surveyed. The average maximum size sign
allowed was 90' in area and about 21' high.
With respect to public and semi - public uses, our Sign Ordinance was in the middle
range. The average maximum was 43.7 sq. ft. in area and 19.8' high.
Because Brooklyn Center seemed to be clearly below the limits allowed for offices in
limited business districts in other communities, it was recommended to increase the
size of freestanding signs from 36 sq. ft. in area and 10' high to 72 sq. ft. in area
and 20' high.
There was not a strong rationale to increase the size of individual freestanding
signs for the public and semi - public uses. As a means of addressing the larger high
school sign, which we would agree is aesthetically not a problem, it was recommended
that public and semi - public uses entitled to a second freestanding sign could, as an
option, choose to have only one freestanding sign that is twice the area (72 sq. ft.)
and half again as high (15') as that otherwise allowed for such uses.
As mentioned, the Planning Commission discussed this report and recommendation
quite extensively at its October 26, 1989 meeting and did recommend approval of the
ordinance amendment.
The Brooklyn Center School District has been notified of the results of the survey
and the recommendation. They concur with the report and are willing to forego a
second freestanding sign to take advantage of the proposed option.
•
The Secretary noted that the main projects left to be built in the tax increment
district were the fourth phase of the Brookdale Corporate Center by Ryan
Construction and the second phase of the Earle Brown Commons apartment project.
Chairperson Malecki noted that the duty of the Commission was to consider whether
the proposed boundary change was consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. She asked
how the Commission should do this. The Secretary noted that there were places in
the redevelopment plan for the Earle Brown tax increment district relating to land
use. He noted that the City has amended the Comprehensive Plan to acknowledge mixed
uses in the area north of Summit Drive around the Earle Brown Farm. He stated that
he did not see any inconsistencies with the Comprehensive Plan as far as land use
presented by the boundary change. Commissioner Ainas also stated that he could see
no objection to the boundary change.
Mr. Hoffman answered that staff' would bring a resolution for the Commission's
consideration and action at the next Planning Commission meeting. He added that
other comments regarding the boundary change could be offered in addition to land
use concerns. Commissioner Mann asked whether a district must have new housing
constructed in order to qualify as a tax increment district. Mr. Hoffman responded
that the City can establish districts for different purposes and that housing is
only one of those purposes.
Chairperson Malecki asked whether the City would have had more contact with the
school district by the next Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Hoffman stated that
the boundary change issue would have been worked out with the school district by the
first Planning Commission meeting in November. Mr. Hoffman commented briefly that
the only downside for the school district from the boundary change had to do with
special elections. The Secretary commented that, at the State level, there is talk
that school districts would get out of the property tax business altogether. He
noted that this would change the impact of the tax increment district on the school's
finances. The result would be that schools would gain State aids while cities would
lose it. He added that property taxes would probably remain about the same overall .
The Secretary concluded that staff would bring back a resolution so that the City
Council could consider the matter at their November 27 meeting.
V Sign Ordinance Amendments
The Secretary then referred the Commission's attention to a lengthy draft amendment
to the Sign Ordinance dealing with the abatement of obsolete signs, optional
freestanding signs and larger freestanding signs in the Cl and CIA districts. The
Secretary explained that the City received a variance request from the Brooklyn
Center School District in September for a new freestanding sign at Brooklyn Center
High School. The Secretary explained that the sign that exists on the property is
nonconforming and cannot be altered or enlarged. New signery must conform with the
Sign Ordinance, he said. The Secretary also noted that the same size sign is
allowed for public and semi - public and office uses in the Sign Ordinance. He
pointed out that the City complied with the Sign Ordinance when they removed their
old freestanding sign some years ago and replaced it with a new sign.
The Secretary went on to explain that staff had done a survey of ordinances in other
cities relating to public, semi - public and office freestanding signs. He briefly
reviewed the findings of that survey and another survey of existing high school
signs contained in a memo from the Planner . He noted that, although Brooklyn Center
School District points to the Park Center High School sign as an example of what they
10-26-89 -5-
are competing with, that sign is a nonconforming sign in Brooklyn Park. The
Secretary explained that the ordinance amendment, as it relates to public and semi-
public uses, would allow one freestanding sign of double the area in cases where two
freestanding signs would otherwise be allowed. He reviewed briefly the provisions
of the draft ordinance amendment, noting the abatement provision. He pointed to
the Bosa Donut sign and the Showbiz Pizza sign as examples of obsolete signery which
should be removed when an establishment closes. He stated that the other portions
of the amendment provide for the possibility of a single, larger freestanding sign
in place of two smaller freestanding signs.
Commissioner Ainas suggested that the provisions relating to removal of obsolete
signs add language relating to freestanding support structures which would also
have to be removed.
Commissioner McCloskey asked whether the 30 day notice indicated in the ordinance
amendment would be sent out after 60 days from the closing of a business or after 90
days. The Secretary responded that it would be after 90 days and that it would give
a property owner an additional 30 days to remove an obsolete sign. He stated that
for the City to remove a sign is a drastic act which should only be a last resort.
Commissioner McCloskey asked what the size of the Best Buy sign was at Westbrook
Mall. The Secretary responded that he assumed it was about 250 sq. ft., or the
maximum allowed. Commissioner McCloskey asked whether the ordinance amendment
would allow a sign up to 375 sq. ft. The Secretary responded in the affirmative.
Commissioner McCloskey stated that he would oppose such a provision as allowing too
large a sign. The Secretary responded that the Commission did not have to address
the C2, I -1 and I -2 districts if they did not want to. The Secretary explained that
he felt the Commission should address the C1 and C1A zones since the allowable
signery in those districts is definitely below the Metropolitan average. He
pointed out that a large office building in a C1A zone is only entitled to a 36 sq. ft.
freestanding sign, whereas the same building located in a C2 zone would probably be
allowed a 250 sq. ft. sign. The Planner explained that the draft ordinance does
present a trade -off between different sign choices. He admitted that it would
allow larger single signs, but that there would be less overall signery since the
number of signs would have to be reduced. He stated that he did not think most
commercial establishments would choose to give up a freestanding sign in order to
have a larger single sign, but that the option would be consistent with the option
offered in the C1 and CiA zones and for public and semi - public uses. The Secretary
stated that he did not think there was much of a concern about equal protection
between the different zoning districts. Commissioner McCloskey stated that he
still felt that 250 sq. ft. is an awfully big sign to begin with and that he did not
want to see larger signs, even if the number of signs would be fewer. The Secretary
asked the Commission whether they would like to eliminate the single, larger sign
option from the C2, I -1 and I -2 districts. No one dissented from this suggestion.
Commissioner Johnson asked why the ordinance was being changed for a school. He
asked why a school needs so much signery. The Secretary explained that the school
district mainly wanted a reader board on their sign at the high school. He stated
that he agreed with Commissioner Johnson to a great extent and that staff spend a lot
of time defending the ordinances that are in force. He added that the City, which
also had a nonconforming sign some years ago, lived within the ordinance when a new
freestanding sign was erected for the City Hall and Community Center. He added that
the staff did a lot of checking with other communities and with other existing
freestanding signs before considering a change which would allow a larger
freestanding sign.
10 -26 -89 -6-
Commissioner McCloskey asked how the high school signs would be different from signs
allowed for churches, synagogues, etc. The Secretary answered that they would be
the same. The Planner explained that the provision in the Sign Ordinance relating
to freestanding signs for public and semi - public uses simply refers back to the
signs allowed for churches, synagogues, etc. and that, therefore, it was that
portion of the ordinance which was addressed in the amendment.
ACTION RECOMMENDING ADOPTION OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE SIGN ORDINANCE
Motion by Commissioner Bernards seconded by Commissioner Ainas to recommend
adoption of an amendment to the Sign Ordinance containing provisions relating to
abatement of obsolete signs and their support structures, allowing for larger
freestanding signs for the Cl and CIA districts and allowing for a larger single
signs for offices, public and semi - public uses when properties are eligible for a
second freestanding sign (in accordance with the changes recommended by the
Commission discussion). Voting in favor: Chairperson Malecki, Commissioners
Sander, Bernards, Ainas, Johnson, Mann and McCloskey. Voting against: none.
The motion passed.
The Secretary informed the Commission that their next meeting would be November 16
and that he would try to bring back the PUD Ordinance and an ordinance relating to
group homes.
The Planner informed the Commission that he had discussed with a developer within
the past month a possible proposal for a rezoning of the F and M Bank site on Xerxes
Avenue North to C2. He stated that he had discouraged the developer from seeking
such a rezoning since a similar proposal had been denied in 1977 and that the
neighborhood has not changed nor has the Comprehensive Plan recommended a change.
He informed the Commission that no rezoning application had been submitted as of
that date and that perhaps the developer would give up the idea. The Secretary
added that the proposed rezoning of the property in 1977 was unceremoniously denied
and he doubted that there would be any political support for such a rezoning. In
response to a comment from Commissioner Ainas, the Secretary answered that staff
have received various land use proposals over the years. He noted that there have
been questions about rezoning the Four Courts Apartments property also. He stated
that he felt the apartment development served as an appropriate buffer between the
residential neighborhood to the north and the heavily commercial area to the south.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion by Commissioner Bernards seconded by Commissioner Johnson to adjourn the
meeting of the Planning Commission. The motion passed unanimously. The Planning
Commission adjourned at 9:29 p.m.

FROM: Gary Shallcross, Planner 6 5
SUBJECT: Sign Surveys
DATE: October 10, 1989
Attached are two surveys regarding signs. The first is a survey of City ordinance
requirements of a number of other suburbs pertaining to the height and size of
freestanding signs for office uses (generally in limited business districts) and
for public and semi - public uses. The other survey is of actual freestanding signs
at a number of high schools and a few junior high schools in suburbs in Minneapolis.
Photographics of these signs have been included for your review.
Ordinances
A) Office. The survey of ordinance requirements for office uses in limited
business districts showed that Brooklyn Center's size limit of 36 sq. ft.
and 10' height limit are somewhat below the average allowed. The sign
limitations ranged from 32 sq. ft. and 8' height limit in Maple Grove to 250
sq. ft. in area in Crystal and a maximum height of 35' in Crystal and
Hopkins. The average maximum allowed was approximately 90 sq. ft. in area
and 21.3' in height. Generally, a second sign is allowed on a second
street frontage.
B) Public and Semi - Public Uses: The survey of ordinance requirements for
public and semi - public uses in either residential or institutional zones
showed that Brooklyn Center's size limit of 36 sq. ft. and 10' height limit
are roughly within the middle of the range allowed in other communities
though somewhat below the average. The Sign limitations ranged from no
signs allowed in residential districts in Osseo to 100 sq. ft. in area
allowed in Coon Rapids and no height limit in Bloomington, Minnetonka and
New Hope. (The maximum height allowed in a City with an explicit
restriction is a general restriction of 36' in Plymouth. The minimum was
6' high in Edina.) The average limitations for public and semi - public
freestanding signs are 43.7 sq. ft. in area and 19.8' in height. Again, a
second sign is generally allowed when the use is located on a corner lot.
Survey of Existing Signs
I also traveled to eleven (11) high schools and two (2) junior high schools to check
out their freestanding signs. Aside from a 450 sq. ft. roof painted "BHS" near the
Blaine High School property, the largest signs I encountered were a 9' x 12' (108 sq.
ft.) sign at Park Center High School and a 6' x 18' (108 sq. ft.) sign at Cooper High
School in New Hope (this latter sign was monolithic and the area of the base is
included). The highest sign was the Park Center High School sign at 25'. (This
sign is apparently nonconforming and predates the Brooklyn Park Sign Ordinance.)
The smallest signs were 24 sq. ft. at Anoka High School, Edina Senior High School and
Valley View Junior High School (also Edina). The lowest sign was 4' high at Coon
Rapids High School. The Anoka High School and Blaine High School had a second
freestanding sign near the main entrance to the building. Three schools (Osseo
High School, St. Louis Park High School and Richfield High School) had no
freestanding signs at all. The average size sign for schools that had them was
approximately 50 sq. ft. (excluding the Blaine roof sign). The average height was
8.5'.

Conclusion
The limitations in the Brooklyn Center Sign Ordinance relating to office uses in
limited business districts are clearly below the average allowed in the nineteen
(19) communities surveyed. Some adjustment to this category, up to 72 sq. ft. or
even larger and a height of up to 20' may be warranted. The survey indicates that
most cities restrict freestanding signs for public and semi - public uses to a smaller
size and lower height than offices in limited business zones. In Br000klyn Center,
these restrictions are the same. Some differential may be justified considering
that most C1 parcels have frontage along major streets and are not tucked away in
residential neighborhoods as many schools and churches are.
As to freestanding signs for public and semi - public uses, Brooklyn Center's Sign
Ordinance restrictions are certainly not unreasonable though they are somewhat
below average. As we have discussed, it may be appropriate to allow institutional
uses on corner lots the option of choosing a larger, single freestanding sign,
rather than two smaller signs. I would say the single sign should certainly not
exceed the total area allowed for the two separate signs (72 sq. ft. as opposed to 36
sq. ft.). We could also consider some modification related to amount of street
frontage as we have for uses in the C2, I and I -2 zones ( a second sign allowed if
there is more than 400' of frontage along two collector or arterial streets) . Such
a modification might allow more or larger signs for larger institutional uses.
Another consideration that a couple cities use is the type of street. The higher
the classification of street, the larger sign allowed. This type of regulation has
merit, but should definitely be applied to all zoning districts, not just
residential. Finally, we could consider increasing the size of the basic sign
allowed. While Brooklyn Center is somewhat below the average, our basic sign
limitation in residential zones is in the middle range of those cities surveyed. I
do not recommend much of a change in the basic sign allowed. The height of the sign
allowed is definitely below the average and some modification, perhaps up to 15' in
height could be considered.
If I can assist you any further in resolving the question of the high school's
identification sign, please let me know.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached X )
On the City Council's December 18, 1989 agenda are two items, one a fir st reading on
an ordinance amendment and the other a resolution, relating to the need to extend the
moratorium on certain development in the T. H. 252/66th Avenue North Study Area.
On June 12, 1989, the City Council, after much review and discussion, adopted
Ordinance No. 89 -13 which was an Interim Ordinance Establishing a Moratorium on the
development of certain uses in the T. H. 252/66th Avenue North Area (specifically,
the property located at 6626 West River and all land south of 66th Avenue and north of
1694 between Willow Lane and Highway 252). The purpose of the moratorium was to
protect the planning process and to allow the City to undertake and complete a Land
Use Study in this area that might lead to the possible adoption of amendments to the
City's Zoning Ordinance and /or Comprehensive Plan.
The City retained the consulting firm of Short- Elliott - Hendrickson (SEH) to
undertake such a study and to advise the City on the best use of land in this area for
all parties concerned which would provide a good buffer for the single - family
residential property in the area from the possible adverse affects of a highly
travelled T. H. 252 and a possibly highly commercialized area along this roadway.
Three study areas (see attached Land Use Study map) were looked at and a great number
of land use alternatives were proposed for possible uses in these areas. SEH met
often with the City staff to review various alternatives, which later included some
roadway design modifications. As part of the SEH proposed Land Use Study, various
meetings including meetings with the Neighborhood Advisory Group and the Planning
Commission were proposed. SEH and the City Planning staff met with the
Neighborhood Advisory Group and interested citizens in the area who were notified of
the consideration at a meeting held in the City Hall on November 28, 1989. The
various alternatives and designs were also presented and reviewed with the Planning
Commission on December 7, 1989. As a result of that review, the Planning Commission
has made a recommendation to the City Council to undertake some design modifications
to the 66th Avenue North/Willow Lane intersection and the Commission has also
recommended a change in the land use designation for the property currently zoned C2
(General Commerce) in this area owned by Ivir. Howard Atkins and the Brookdale Motel.
•
SUMMARY EXPLANATION CONTINUED
The final document and report to be presented by SEH is to include the consideration
of the neighborhood area and also the Planning Commission. Thus, the final
document has not yet been prepared for presentation to the City Council. The final
document and report will be presented to the City Council at its first meeting in
January, 1990.
It should be noted that the interim ordinance will expire on December 16, 1989.
Therefore, to continue to protect the planning process, it is recommended that the
City Council adopt a first reading on an ordinance extending the interim ordinance
and also adopt a resolution extending the moratorium in this area as well. It is
recommended that the moratorium be extended to April 16, 1990. The reason for such
an extension is, given the recommendation of the Planning Commission, it will be
necessary to undertake a rezoning of the property in order to implement their
recommendation. It is believed that such an extension of time would be necessary.
However, if the study is concluded and a different finding is made by the City
Council that would not necessitate that long a period of time to implement the study,
then the interim ordinance could later be cancelled.

Re: Notice of Public Meeting Regarding the Land Use Study Being Conducted for
the T.H. 252/66 Avenue North Area
The City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center adopted an interim ordinance that
established a moratorium on the development of certain uses in the T. H. 252/66th
Avenue North area in June of this year. The moratorium allows the City to undertake
and complete a Land Use Study that might lead to the possible adoption of various
amendments to the City's Zoning Ordinance and /or Comprehensive Plan.
The City has retained the consulting firm of Short - Elliott Hendrickson (SEH) to
undertake such a study and to advise the City on the best use of land in this area.
The study has begun and the City intends to hold a neighborhood meeting to discuss
the progress of the study to this date. The purpose of the study is to attempt to
make a judgment on the best use of land in this area for all parties concerned which
would provide a good buffer for the single- family residential property in the area
from the possible adverse affects of a highly traveled T. H. 252 and a possibly
highly commercialized area along this roadway. A proposal for a gasoline station,
convenience store, car wash in this immediate area has been discussed, but has been
put on hold, pending completion of the City's study.
It is our intention to discuss the study and present various options to the Northeast
Neighborhood Advisory Group and to interested neighbors and property owners in this
area. The meeting will be held in the City Council Chambers at the Brooklyn Center
City Hall, 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway on Tuesday evening, November 28, 1989. The
meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. You are invited to attend the meeting and to make
comments and recommendations at that time. This matter will be discussed further
at an upcoming Planning Commission meeting.

MINUTES OF THE NORTHEAST NEIGHBORHOOD ADVISORY GROUP
NOVEMBER 28, 1989
CITY HALL
CALL TO ORDER
The Northeast Neighborhood Advisory Group meeting was called to order by Planning
Commission Secretary Ronald Warren at 7 :04 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Those present included advisory group member Curt Danielson, Director of Planning
and Inspection Ronald Warren, Planner Gary Shallcross and Consultant Randy Thoreson
from Short - Elliott- Hendrickson.
BACKGROUND OF LAND USE STUDY
Director of Planning and Inspection Ronald Warren introduced himself to the
residents in attendance and also introduced Curt Danielson and explained the
purpose of Neighborhood Advisory Groups. He then introduced the Planner and the
Consultant as individuals who had particpated in preparing the study of the land in
the area of 66th and West River Road to this point.
Mr. Warren then reviewed a background of the Land Use Study of the area between
Willow Lane and Highway 252 north of I94 and up to and including the MN /DOT house just
north of 66th Avenue North. He explained that, earlier this year, there was a
proposal to rezone a sliver of land adjacent to the existing C2 zone south of 66th
from R5 to C2 to accommodate a gas station, convenience store and ear wash. He
explained that when the Northeast Neighborhood Advisory Group originally
considered this rezoning proposal, it recommended that the entire lot be rezoned to
C1. He went on to explain that the Planning Commission considered this
recommendation and in turn recommended a moratorium and a study regarding three
areas: 1) the MN /DOT property just north of 66th; 2) the block bounded by 65th on
the south and 66th on the north and by Willow Lane on the east and Highway 252 on the
west; and 3) the land south of 65th Avenue North and west of Willow Lane presently
occupied by the Lyn River apartment complex. He stated that the City Council agreed
to this recommendation and contracted with Short - Elliott - Hendrickson to do a Land
Use Study of these three areas. He then introduced Randy Thoreson from Short -
Elliott- Hendrickson to review the various land use alternatives for these three
areas.
REVIEW OF STUDY AREAS AND LAND USE ALTERNATIVES
Mr. Randy Thoreson, of Short - Elliott- Hendrickson, then reviewed a number of
alternatives for the three study areas. The first alternative was to leave the
existing zoning as is. The second alternative was for Area 1 to be R1, Area 2 to be
C2 on the west and C1 on the east, and Area 3 to continue as R5. The third
alternative was to have Area 1 be R1, Area 2 be entirely C1 and Area 3 to remain R5.
He also reviewed other alternatives including one where Area 1 would be R1 and Areas
2 and 3 would be for multiple family and an alternative where Area 1 would be R1 and
Areas 2 and 3 would be C1. He reviewed some of the pros and cons of these various
alternatives.
He concluded with a review of two other alternatives. One alternative would be to
make Area 1, R1 and Area 2 would be a City redevelopment on all of the Atkins property
and leave the rest of the land south of the Atkins property as existing. The final
alternative was to redesign and rebuild the intersection of West River Road and 66th
Avenue North and extend a roadway down through part of the Atkins property and create
a buffer area in the northeast corner of the property and leave the rest of the zoning
as is.
11 -28 -89 -1-
Mr. Curt Danielson asked what City participation would be in the buffer. Mr.
Thoreson responded that the City would acquire and install the green area. Mr.
Danielson and Mr. Thoreson discussed the idea of the buffer and Mr. Thoreson showed a
graphic of the redesigned intersection on an overhead projector. A resident asked
what would be in the area between the new street and Willow Lane. Mr. Thoreson
responded that a berm and landscaping would probably be installed. Mr. Thoreson
briefly reviewed the layout of the street redesigned and a walkway which would move
through the area. Regarding Area 1 (the MN /DOT property), Mr. Thoreson stated
that he and the City staff had looked at this area and concluded that it was not
viable for either commercial or multiple- family development and that about all that
could be put on it was a single - family home.
Mr. Warren then explained to those people present that there were actually two
studies being conducted at the same time in the same general area and by the same
consultant, Short - Elliott- Hendrickson. He explained that the study that was being
discussed at this evening's meeting was a Land Use Study of the area at and primarily
south of the intersection of 66th Avenue North and West River Road. He pointed out
that there is also a study being conducted of West River Road itself north of 66th and
that some of the residents at this evening's meeting may have been at meetings
regarding that study. Mr. Warren explained that they had looked at the MN /DOT
property for some sort of buffer use and had concluded that both C1 uses and the
multiple- family were not viable on the property. He stated that the only
alternative was to allow for single- family development and that a physical buffer
would probably have to be created to protect that single- family home. Mr. Thoreson
reviewed the last alternative as being that Area 1 would be R1 property; Area 2 would
be C2 on the west and the buffer and roadway and the existing multiple- family on the
east; and that Area 3 would remain multiple - family. He reviewed some of the
challenges presented by this area for the Land Use Study.
A woman present asked how the redesign option would affect cars wanting to go north
on Highway 252. Mr. Thoreson reviewed some of the facts about the intersection of
66th Avenue North and Highway 252. He noted that there are only two lanes and that
the right lane has three options: to turn left, to go straight ahead, or to turn
right. He stated that this results in some backup in the right lane. Mr. Warren
explained that the northerly portion of the redesigned intersection which would
include a large teardrop shape median has been looked at by the City Council. He
explained that the large teardrop was to allow trucks to turn around within 66th
rather than going either north or south on Willow Lane. He explained that the
redesign of the southerly portion of the intersection would do away with a straight
shot into the residential neighborhood along Willow Lane.
A woman resident asked regarding parks in the area, indicating that there was a need
for more places for children to play in this area. Mr. Thoreson responded that the
buffer area would not necessarily be designated as a park, though it would
constitute public open space. Mr. Warren added that the area would be landscaped
and that hopefully the roadway realignment would help provide better access to the
park further north on West River Road. Another resident stated that kids would play
wherever there is open space. Mr. Warren acknowledged that there were a number of
kids in the area and commented that it would probably be better for them to play on
the berm created in the buffer area than in the street.
A resident asked what the distance would be between Willow Lane and the new street on
the other side of the buffer. Mr. Warren responded that it would probably be 60' to
80' . The resident asked whether the City had considered a block wall as opposed to a
berm. Mr. Warren answered that the City had looked at berming and landscaping to
11 -28 -89 -2-

•
•
provide a screening treatment in as aesthetic a manner as possible, but that no final
design has been looked at. He noted that other alternatives could be considered.
Another resident asked whether the City had considered extending the berm north of
66th to provide additional screening for those homes also north of 66th. Mr. Randy
Thoreson answered that the City has looked at that and that it would be advisable to
do so.
A woman resident inquired as to the movement of vehicles around the teardrop shaped
median in 66th and the way of getting onto 66th to go north. Mr. Warren and Mr.
Thoreson reviewed the layout of the revised intersection plan. They explained that
there would be stop signs for both northbound and southbound traffic so that cars
would be able to move onto 66th during the interruptions. Mr. Warren added that
Willow Lane may be extended somewhat northward, but that the City does not want to
connect the southerly leg of Willow Lane with the northerly leg. He expressed the
concern that this could become another through street which would be undesirable for
the residential neighborhood.
In response to a question from another resident, Mr. Warren and Mr. Thoreson
discussed the plans for the frontage road along Highway 252 south of 66th Avenue
North. They indicated that a portion, or all of this area might be vacated.
One of the residents along Willow Lane brought up the issue of land use and the option
of continuing multiple- family land use south of 66th. He stated that there are more
young kids now and he questioned whether multiple - family is an ideal land use in this
area. Mr. Warren responded that the zoning regulations for the multiple- family
districts regulate building types, but cannot regulate the type of occupants. He
pointed out that the apartment units allowed in the R5 zone could all be one bedroom
units which would involve very few children. He noted, however, that two bedroom
units are allowed and that some three bedroom units can be comprehended. He added
that the City's Housing Maintenance and Occupancy Ordinance allows many people to
occupy a dwelling unit, possibly up to six individuals in a two bedroom apartment.
The resident commented that in looking at land uses, a light commercial use might be
a preferable use, but may not be practical from an economic standpoint. He
acknowledged that a multiple - family use may be an appropriate buffer, but does also
present some problems for the neighborhood. Another resident commented that he did
not feel high density residential should be located next to single - family. Mr.
Warren stated that a multiple- family complex can be a good neighbor, if it is
maintained well. He pointed out, however, that a Zoning Ordinance cannot control
the maintenance of property, including single - family property. The resident
inquired as to the license for the apartment complex at 65th and Willow Lane. Mr.
Warren briefly reviewed the history of the 18 unit apartment complex north of 65th on
Willow Lane. He pointed out that the owner had been given a year to fix up the
property and that he had been lax in meeting that deadline. He stated that the owner
may have to post a guarantee to insure completion of maintenance items before the
license can be renewed. He added that revoking the license may be justified, but
that if that is done, the maintenance of the complex may get worse in the short run.
A woman resident asked what was the minimum necessary land area for a park. Mr.
Warren responded that it depended on the use of the park. He noted that a small play
lot could be developed on a fairly small parcel. In response to another question
regarding 66th Avenue North, Mr. Thoreson explained that the intersection at 66th
Avenue and West River Road is presently at level of service E. He stated that the
level of service for that intersection will almost certainly go to "F" regardless of
whether or not the Atkins property is developed. Mr. Warren and Mr. Thoreson went
on to discuss briefly some of the traffic patterns and traffic movements in the area
of this intersection.
11 -28 -89 -3-
In response to a question from a resident regarding the traffic pattern of various
land uses, Mr. Warren explained that office uses have an earlier evening peak hour
and that it is more concentrated than general commercial uses. He added that general
commercial uses may involve more overall traffic, but that the peak is less
concentrated. The resident pointed out the traffic from the gas station would come
out on the resdesigned road and would create some problems for residents in the area
which need to use that road as a way out of the neighborhood.
Another resident stated that he did not feel a gas station, even with a buffer, is a
good tradeoff for the neighborhood. Another resident asked a representative of
Superamerica how muchland was needed for the Superamerica across Highway 252. Mr.
Bud Kaupp, of Superamerica, answered that he was not certain of the land area.
Planner Gary Shallcross stated that he thought the area of that parcel was
approximately two acres. He pointed out that the Superamerica store would be
approximately 8,000 sq. ft. whereas the Fine store proposed for Mr. Atkins' property
was closer to 2,500 sq. ft.
One of the residents along Willow Lane stated that he felt the matter had probably
already been decided and that the City was simply going through the formality of a
public meeting without really wanting to consider any other possibilities. Mr.
Warren responded that the City is looking for input. He reviewed some of the
options for the Land Use Study, especially Area 2 which contains the Atkins
property.
Mr. Curtis Danielson, of the Northeast Neighborhood Advisory Group, asked the
residents to comment as to their feelings regarding the proposed berm and buffer.
One resident responded that it was o.k., but that it would not screen the proposed
service station. Another resident stated that if the service station is built,
property values in the area will go down and that the berm will be insufficient to
screen the station.
Mr. Warren stated that another option was for the City to acquire all of Mr. Atkins'
property. He reviewed for the residents the legal context of the existing zoning
and land use of Mr. Atkins' property and the need to offer a fair price for the
property. He also reviewed uses allowed in various zoning districts which could be
considered for this area. He noted that, under some zoning schemes, some or all of
the uses on the block would become nonconforming uses. Mr. Warren went on to state
that there are a variety of issues confronting this area, among them:
transportation, land use, property maintenance, and property rights.
Mr. Danielson stated that he felt the alternative of providing a redesigned
intersection at 66th and West River Road and a berm was a viable alternative and
should be considered seriously. Mr. Warren stated that the matter would go to the
Planning Commission on December 7 and that notices would be sent to the same people
that received a notice of this meeting. Mr. Thoreson explained that his firm had
narrowed the range of options from 45 different alternatives down to about five. He
stated that he saw a value in the buffer with a berm alternative. He also explained
that the City could not rule out a gas station on the basis of traffic impact alone.
One resident stated that he did favor the redesigned road to provide a buffer from
the service station use. Another resident acknowledged that the City probably had
to choose between the lesser of two evils. He stated that if a station had to be
developed, then a bermmight be the best buffer from such a use. The resident added
that the City should use its discretion in approving a special use permit to control
other aspects of the development plan.

Advisory Group, and the City Council reviewed the existing and
potenial 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 inadeauate 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 zonintr controls were adopted,
and adiacent or nearby land uses or potential uses which were no
compatible.
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

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes )
In 1980, the City acquired a standard ten foot drainage and utility perimeter
easement during the platting of Brookdale Square Addition. Earlier this year,
Lot 1 of the Brookdale Square Addition was combined with -Tract Q of RLS #1325
to the east to form Brookdale Square 2nd Addition (see attached Map 1).
The Robert Larson Partners, developers of Brookdale Square, have requested
vacation of that part of the perimeter easement that is now in the interior of
the new Lot 1, Block 1, Brookdale Square 2nd Addition (see attached Map 2).
The primary reason for this request is that the new addition_to Brookdale
Square encroaches upon the easement by approximately five to seven feet. The
request also notes that the subdivision agreement executed by the owners during
the replatting of Brookdale Square 2nd Addition included the execution of a-
utility maintenance and inspection agreement, assuring the City access to all
City utilities on the site.
The private utility companies, Northern States Power, Minnegasco, US West, and
King Video Cable, are currently reviewing this request. City staff are also
reviewing locations of City utilities on the site to determine if the
City should retain this easement.
City Council Action Reouired
An ordinance is provided for consideration and first reading by the City
Council. If the first reading is conducted, the proposed ordinance will be
published along with a notice of public hearing. After the second reading and
public hearing, the City Council would then consider final adoption of the
ordinance.

Re: Easement Vacation Request, Brookdale Square 2nd Addition
Dear Mr. Splinter:
The Robert Larsen Partners, owners of the above - referenced property, hereby
request vacation of all that part of the easement described in the attached
description. The vacation is requested in order to eliminate an encroachment
by the new addition to the Brookdale Square Center.
The basis for the request is as follows:
1. Vacation of the easement eliminates a 5 -7 foot encroachment by the new
addition to Brookdale Square.
2. The property owner has executed and filed with the City a Utility
Maintenance and Inspection Agreement which provides easement rights for
all City utilities on the site.
3. The area to be vacated does not contain any known public utility
(Existing utilities are private service lines.)
4. The easement was intended to be a perimeter easement dedicated in the
Brookdale Square plat. When Brookdale Square and Tract Q of RLS No.
1325 were combined, this easement was no longer in its intended
position.
There does not seem to be any public purpose served by retaining this
easement, as it is not used for the purpose for which it was dedicated. Other
easements and agreements provide the easement and access needed by the City
for access to any City utilities site. Therefore, we request that the
easement in the attached description be vacated.
Please contact me at 371 -0424 if you have any questions regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
William L. Pew

SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
(supplemental sheets attached X )
Attached is an amended 1990 council meeting schedule. The meetings scheduled for May had to be
changed because one was originally scheduled for Memorial Day. The months of October, November,
and December were changed because of the proposal to add an additional holiday for City employees
(October 8, 1990 Columbus Day). By rearranging these three months, we will be able to work
around the holidays and have two meetings in December to take care of year -end business.

Hennepin County City to establish its own facility for the

WHEREAS, the deadline for identifying a compost
facility site and issuing all required permits for the site is
