The City Manager deferred to Councilmember Kuefler noting his role as Council liaison to the Steering Committee. Councilmember Kuefler introduced Mr. Dave Skeels, Chairman of the Park Bond Steering Committee. Mr. Skeels explained that the Steering Committee bad met fnIzr i-imac An+-p and ?r: rlor7 th =t F—r -) nF i c r.i I- _ with the Park and Recreation Commission. He explained the .acaressed the questions which they anticipated the voters would be asking and that the Committee also concluded that the arboretum should be included in the bond issue.' Mr. Skeels recommended to the Council that they adopt the park develop- ment financial plan and proceed with the required steps to implement the bond election. He added that the Committee also endorses a public hearing on the bond issue for the March 10, 1980 City Council meeting and for the March 24, 1980 Council meeting, if necessary. Councilmember Fignar inquired whether the general obligation bond of $1,500,000 was adequate to do what the City would like to do with park development. He inquired` further of what was cut out of the park development plan. Councilmember Kuefler explained that areas such as Twin Lake Island and the peninsula were deferred from development in this bond issue because they are sensitive, natural areas and further consideration of their level of development was felt to be necessary by the Park and Recreation Commission and the Park Bond Steering Com- mittee. Councilmember Kuefler recognized Mr. Ron Christensen, representing the Park Bond Steering Committee. Mr. Christensen thanked the City Council and City staff for the fine cooperation they have given the Park Bond Steering Committee. He explained he was the Chairman of the committee that promoted the District 279 school bond issue which resulted in the passage of an $11,000,000 school bond issue. He explained that he felt it was important that residents be informed about the bond issue and that he felt it was essential to have an informational brochure informing residents about the bond issue. He explained the Steering Committee will work on the "vote yes" campaign and requested that the.City staff prepare an informational brochure on the bond issue. He added that he feels Central Park should be promoted along with the fact that the City staff has been successful in obtaining grant dollars for the development of Central Park. 2 -25 -80 -Q- He explained that he would also like to see plans for future development of City parks which would go beyond the development proposed 1, bond issue. lie stated that the City Council should obtain input from'redents on the design of their neighborhood parks. He requested that the City staff and City Council set up a mechanism for residents to express their concerns over City parks, particularly the maintenance aspect. He explained he feels many residents are not satisfied with current park maintenance. He added that he would also like to see the City staff and City Council establish a mechanism for effective police enforcement in City parks which would include designing the parks to prevent mayhem and establishing a system for resident input into park enforce- ment. He stated that these two programs should be developed prior to the bond election. Mr. Christensen also indicated that he would like to see a procedure set up to assure that money levied for park maintenance is in fact spent on park maintenance. Mayor Nyquist suggested that residents who have complaints about park maintenance should contact the Director of Park and Recreation, Councilmember Kuefler, or other City staff. Councilmember Lhotka stated that he felt the Open Forum session at City Council meetings is an excellent place for persons to air their complaints on park maintenance or enforcement in parks. The City Manager cited an example in the Bellvue Park area where a meeting with Park and Recreation Department staff and Police Department staff with the Bellvue Park neighborhood proved very successful in resolving some of the maintenance and enforcemnt problems in Bellvue Park. Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Jerry Johnson, Chairman of the Park and Recreation Commission. Mr. Johnson explained that six years of work went into the current park development program and noted that the Steering Committee provided a re- evaluation of the Commission's park program.. He added that the Park and Recrea - t —" Commiccinn T- 1 1 - 1c 1 hearterly s „pnort­ tbp nark development plan and tze :=ia bond issue. .Councilmember Lhotka requested an explanation of how the $50,000 for park maintenance was developed. The City Manager explained that the staff recommends the additional $50,000 for park maintenance and that it would provide additional maintenance personnel including two full time and two part -time park maintenance workers. He added that this maintenance cost could possibly be accomplished on a contract basis, but that the $50,000 was established as the amount necessary to maintain the additions to the park system. The City Manager explained that equipment related to park maintenance was not included in the bond issue since the equipment would wear out before the end of the 20 year issue. Councilmember Fignar inquired what the completion date for the park development plan would be. The Park and Recreation Director explained that inflation sensitive items in the park development plan would be accompliihed first and that hopefully the entire development would be completed by no later than 1983. The City Manager explained that with federal grants, the timing of Central Park development would include the 1981 and 1982 construction seasons. He noted that the neighborhood parks would include the 1980 and 1981 construction seasons. Councilmember Kuefler added that the arboretum will not be fully developed with the bond issue and explained that there will be room for added development of the arboretum in future years. Mayor Nyquist thanked the Park Bond Steering Committee members and Park and Recrea - tion Commission representatives for attending this evening's meeting. 2 -25 -80 -5- There was a motion by Councilmember Kuefler and seconded by Councilmember Fignar to adopt the preliminary draft of the 1980 park bond issue time schedule and -to set a public hearing on the park bond issue for the March 10, 1980 City Council meeting.

The Mayor explained the application . was tabled at the January 28, 1980 City Council meeting to be reconsidered at this evening's meeting and that Councilmember Lhotka had arranged a meeting of the neighbors of Mr. Norenberg to discuss the special use permit request. Councilmember Lhotka stated that he was disappointed with the poor turnout of the neighborhood at the meeting held in Mr. Norenberg's garage. He added that the attitudes of the persons present at the meeting did not leave any room for negotiation regarding the request for special use permit approval for a home occupation to build cabinets. Councilmember Lhotka stated that he had requested the City Manager prepare a fire inspection report on Mr. Norenberg's property and referred the Council to this report. The Director of Planning and Inspection stated that he had spoken with Mr. John Chopyk of the Associated General Agency, the City's insurance carrier, to inquire about fire rates.

The Director of Planning and Inspection stated that notices were required to be sent to 21 surrounding properties. Councilmember'Lhotka stated that, in his opinion, the major concerns in this application are the potential for fire hazards.and the noise generated by the construction of the cabinets. He explained that if the Council wishes to approve the special home occupation, he would recommend reducing the hours of operation, requiring that the applicant retain the appropriate amount of liability insurance, and requiring the applicant to broom clean the shop after each day's work. There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Fignar to deny Planning Commission Application No. 80004 submitted by William Norenberg. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Kuefler, Fignar, Lhotka, and Scott. Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously.

DISCUSSION ITEMS The City Manager introduced the first item of discussion which was a discussion of the floodway designation as part of the National Flood Insurance Program. The Director of Public Works pointed out that floodway designation is required for eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program. The Director of Public Works showed several transparencies which reviewed the flood plain management system. In reviewing the transparencies, the Director of Public Works pointed out the flood plain limits of the 100 year flood, and showed how the flood level can be increased or encroached upon by structures built in the flood plain. He pointed out that the floodway is the portion of the flood plain which carries and discharges the regional flood. He reviewed the elements of a flood plain ordinance including the various types of land uses permitted in the floodway and flood fringe. The Director of Public Works reviewed the flood plain maps of Brooklyn Center prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey (U.S.G.S.) . He outlined the recommended flood plain in the Lions Park area and around the potential golf course site. He showed the recommended flood plain area in Central Park and explained how potential development may be affected by the flood plain designation. The Director of Public Works reviewed the recommended flood plain along Palmer Creek, along the Palmer Lake Basin, and around East and West Palmer Lake Parks. He also pointed out the recommended flood plain in the Ponds area showing the flood plain could be contained in the easement area. Finally, the Director of Public Works outlined the recommended flood plain around Ryan Lake and Twin Lake. 2 -25 -80 -8- Councilmember Scott inquired how a determination could be made of the normal water line on Twin Lake since it fluctuates so greatly throughout the year. The Director of Public Works explained that the U.S.G.S. has recorded what they believe to be the normal water line. The Director of Public Works pointed out that no development is allowed in the floodway itself. He explained that in the flood fringe area, new development must be constructed above the flood plain. He stated that the U.S.G.S. and the Department of Housing and Urban Development are requesting the City of Brooklyn Center to give them a tentative outline of the floodway and that they will examine the City's desig- nation to assure that the designation will not increase the regional flood above six inches. He explained that in six months to a year the agencies will request the City to enact a flood plain ordinance. Councilmember Lhotka questioned how the floodway and flood plain designations will affect residents' insurance. The Director of Public Works explained that the ordinance would allow people to purchase flood insurance and without the ordinance, flood insurance cannot be purchased. Councilmember Kuefler questioned whether there would be any restrictions on various properties in the flood fringe area which would be reflected on the title. The Director of Public Works explained that these designations would not be made on the title of the property but would be made on flood maps which would be maintained by the City. The City Manager noted that the work done thus far in Central Park by the City, has improved the flood storage capacity of this area. In response to a question from Council- member Kuefler, the City Manager explained that the City has met with residents bordering Central Park and has proposed raising the Shingle Creek Trailway approximately two feet when built which would act as a dike for their properties. He explained the staff will meet with these residents again and outline the potential benefits of raising the Shingle Creek Trailway. like to see in the floodway designation, they can contact the City staff. PARKING PROVISIONS AND PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON 53RD AVENUE NORTH The City Manager introduced the next discussion item and referred the Council to a draft copy of information which will be sent to all property owners on 53rd Avenue North between 4th Street North and Penn Avenue, if the information meets with the Council's approval.
