DISCUSSION ITEMS
NAME CHANGE OF BROOKLYN CENTER MEDIATION PROJECT
Mayor Nyquist stated it has been requested this item be laid over to a hater
datee.
REVIEW AND DISCUSSION OF MATERIALS SUBMITTED BY THE COMMUNITY ACTION GROUP
OPPOSED TO THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT ISSUED TO THE BILL KELLY HOUSE
The City Manager referred the Mayor and Councilmembers to the large packet of
materials prepared by the Community Action Group. Mayor Nyquist stated he
thought the materials were well organized. Councilmember Theis stated he
believes the Community Action Group has submitted quite a lot of new
information, and he believes there is a need to address each item.
Councilmember Theis stated during the public hearings regarding the Bill Kelly
House, it appears that representatives of the Bill Kelly House made statements
to the Planning Commission and the City Council which they felt were necessary
to make their position the strongest. He added in some cases it appears the
true facts were misrepresented. He concluded by saying he believes the new
information warrants taking another look at the permit issued to the group home.
There was a brief discussion regarding the rules and regulations and the proper
g g g p per
motions necessary to reopen the public hearing or reconsider the permit. The
City Attorney stated it would appear the proper motion would be to rescind the
permit. Rowever, the applicant has -not seen the new - information or had time to
respond to it_ He suggested the motion should include reopening of the public
hearing, setting a public hearing date, and notifying the applicant of the
public hearing and -new information. He stated after the hearing the Council
could move to rescind or revoke the rou home permit. Counci emb
g P P lm ex Hawes
inquired if the motion should be made by someone on the prevailing side of the
approval. The City Attorney stated a motion to reconsider should be made b
someone who voted on the prevailing side of the issue. However, a motion to
rescind could be made by any member of the Council.
Councilmember Lhotka inquired of the City Attorney if there was enough new
information to allow the City to rescind or revoke the group home's permit. The
City Attorney stated the question before the Council appears to be whether the
new information submitted is sufficient in kind, nature, and magnitude that it
would have changed the Councilmembers' mind if the information had been
submitted before the original approval was given. Councilmember Lhotka inquired
if a motion to rescind was made and the item then tabled, would the public
hearing date be set this evening. The City Attorney stated the sooner the
public hearing date is set the more options are left open to the Council. A
brief discussion then ensued regarding the new information submitted and the
appearance of misrepresentation by the applicant.
There was a motion by Councilmember Theis and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
reopen the public hearing regarding Planning Commission Application No. 87012
submitted by Bill Kelly House, to consider new information which has been
submitted by the Community Action Group, and setting a public hearing date of
February 16, 1988, at 7:30 p.m. The motion passed with Councilmember Lhotka
opposed. Councilmember Lhotka stated he opposed the motion because the
possibility of misrepresentation on the part of the applicant was mentioned
during the Council's discussion of the motion.

i
REOUEST FROM YELLOW TAXI SERVICE CORPORATION REGARDING A METER RATE INCREASE
The City Manager stated there has been a request from Yellow Taxi Service for a
rate „increase. He explained in the current taxicab ordinance it is stated that
rates charged may not exceed taxicab rates which are lawful in the City of
Minneapolis_ He noted tUs ordina=5e has not been updated for ju to sometxnme
and referred the Mayor and Councilmembers to the list of changes suggested by
the police department. He stated basically the purpose of this license is to
inspect the cabs for all safety features. Councilmember Scott inquired if the
Council could approve the fee increase and have the City Manager work with other
cities to develop a taxicab ordinance which would be the same throughout the
suburbs. The City Manager stated an ordinance amendment would be necessary to
approve the fee increase.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Theis
directing the City Manager to prepare an ordinance amendment to change the rate
structure for taxicabs and to have these rates set by resolution rather than by
ordinance. The motion passed unanimously.
AGENDA PACKET MODIFICATIONS
The City Manager stated City staff has been reviewing practices of other
communities as it relates to their City Council agenda packet formats. He noted
he included in this evening's agenda a sample of the City of New Brighton's
format. He stated he would like to make it easier for the Council to review the
data and materials that are sent out with each agenda -par - eT. Councilmember
Scott inquired if the Council would stil'1 receive the additional backup
materials along with the brief summary page. The 'City Manager responded
affirmatively. He suggested y gg having taff prepare the brief summa
for
g P P =y pages a
few selected items out of each agenda over the next few months. There was a
general consensus among Councilmembers that the City Manager should prepare a
brief summary page for a few selected items from each agenda over the next few
months.
PROPOSED NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING ANALYSIS
The City Manager stated the preliminary staff work which has been done on a
redevelopment policy indicates a need for a thorough analysis of the City's
housing stock neighborhood by neighborhood. He stated staff believes the study
could be financed with community development block grant funding. He briefly
reviewed the areas the study would consider. Councilmember Lhotka inquired Lf
the funding from CDBG would be above the current level of funding. The City
Manager stated currently the City is not using, all funds available from the
CDBG. The HRA Coordinator stated the funding from CDBG is used for the City's
rehab grant program. He noted the number of rehab grants has been declining
over the past few years. Mayor Nyquist inquired if this study is being
suggested because the funding is available or because the study is necessary.
The HRA Coordinator stated there is a 4efinite need for a comprehensive study
pertaining to the City's housing stock. He noted this study would allow the
City to set a timetable for implementing various programs.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Theis
directing staff to prepare a request for proposals for this project and to seek
funding approval for this project through the CDBG process. The motion passed
unanimously.
1 -25 -88 -8-
The City Manager noted after receiving CDBG funding approval staff would return
to the City Council for project approval.

regarding the IRT Northwest Corridor Route Selection. He stated at this time it

the impacts on existing services.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Sy Knapp, Director of Public Works
FROM; H. R. Spurrier, City Engineer
DATE: February 2, 1988
SUBJECT; Easement Vacation - Lot 3, Block 3, Donneys Brook Lyn
Gardens, 4th Addition
The attached ordinance repeals Ordinance 87 -15 and vacates part of a drainage
easement at 6501 Unity Avenue (Lot Block 3, Donnays Brook Lyn Gardens 4th
Addition). The action is required because Ordinance 87 -15, a vacating
ordinance, has an incorrect description and I did not catch it. The easement was
called on the north line and was intended to be on the south line.
There is no easement on north line so there was no legal problem created by the
adoption of Ordinance 87 -15. The attached ordinance should be adopted in order
to take the action intended in Ordinance 87 -15.
The revised ordinance has the correct description and takes the action intended
September, 1987.
It is recommended that City Council adopt the attached ordinance.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager e
FROM: Ronald A. Warren, Director of Planning and Inspectio / ? C-t 6
DATE: February 5, 1988
SUBJECT: Planning Commission Application No. 87027 submitted by
Dr. John Lescault
The City Council at its January 11, 1988 meeting tabled Planning Commission
Application No. 87027 which is a request by Dr. John Lescault for a variance from the
Sign Ordinance to have a larger home occupation sign than the 2.5 sq. ft. sign
permitted by the Sign Ordinance. This application was tabled so that the staff
could review the applicant's claim that State law required the name of the
chiropractor as well as the word chiropractor to be on any advertising sign.
Dr. Lescault has provided us with a copy of Chapter 2500, State Board of Chiropractic
Examiners Board Rules (copy attached). Section 2500.0200 of those rules, relating
to professional standards for advertising states in part that "all advertisements,
of any nature whatsoever, including office designation and business displays must
bear the name of the licensee or licensees."
The City Attorney has contacted the Attorney General assigned to the State Board of
Chiropractic Examiners regarding this rule, which has been properly adopted and has
the effect of state law. He reports that this rule is intended to require
chiropractors to include their name on any advertising sign such as the one Dr.
Lescault has, or is proposing, and would require both doctors' names if there are
two. The Attorney General noted that this rule is enforced primarily on a complaint
basis and noted that it is possible that not all chiropractors have their names on
their signs (Note: Of the four chiropractors located in Brooklyn Center, two have
their names on their signs, while two do not).
The bottom line is that the rule does require the doctors' names on the sign,
however, the rule does not specify the size of the sign or that the word .chiropractor
or chiropractic must appear.
It is for the City Council to decide whether or not the size of the sign is
appropriate in this case. The business is a home occupation limited to a 2.5 sq. ft.
sign and the Planning Commission and staff believe it is an appropriate sized sign.
However, it is possible for the Council to consider this situation (State regulation
requiring doctors' names on signs) to be unique necessitating the need for a larger
sign particularly if another chiropractor's name is required to be on that sign and a
variance could be granted.
The City Council could also determine that the size of the sign is appropriate and it
is up to Dr. Lescault to decide how best to design his sign to meet the State
requirements within the 2.5 sq. ft. permitted by City Ordinance.
The City Council might also decide that it would be better to consider larger home
occupation signs on major thoroughfares and may want to look at the possibility of
amending the Sign Ordinance to accommodate such cases.
The City Council's attention is directed to the Planning Commission's
recommendation which can be found on page 3 of their December 17, 1987 minutes.

APPLICATION NO. 87027 (Dr. John B. Lescault)
The Secretary introduced the next item of business, a request for a variance from the
Sign Ordinance to allow a 32 sq. ft. freestanding sign at his residence at 6142
Brooklyn Boulevard. The Secretary reviewed the staff report (see Planning
Commission Information for Application No. 87027 attached).
The Secretary stated there is a public hearing required and that the proper notices
had been sent.
Chairman Lucht asked what size sign could be obtained if Dr. Lescault's property was
zoned commercial. The Secretary responded that under the Sign Ordinance a maximum
of 36 sq. ft. would be allowed if the property were zoned Cl. The Secretary stated
there have been eight home occupations on Brooklyn Boulevard over the years and that
each one had been able to live with the sign ordinance requirements for home
occupation signs.
Dr. Lescault explained he had contacted a sign contractor and had been told that 32
sq. ft. sign would give the best exposure for his business on a major thoroughfare,
but that he was only asking for a larger sign. He stated he was not aware of eight
home occupations on Brooklyn Boulevard. He explained that with his special use
permit he has the right to bring in another doctor, but has not yet done so and that
there would be no room on the existing sign to add a new name. He feels he is in a
transitional area and should be allowed a larger sign.
12 -17 -87 -2-
Chairman Lucht stated he felt Dr. Lescault is asking for a rezoning of the property
from Rl to commercial. He stated if a larger size is granted in this case, all
residents with home occupations may ask for the same consideration and that he is
opposed to any changes in the Sign Ordinance.
A brief discussion ensued regarding the need for a variance.
PUBLIC HEARING
Chai an Lucht then opened the meeting for a public hearing and asked if anyone
present wished to speak regarding the application. Hearing no one, he called for a
motion to close the public hearing.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Motion by Commis s er Nelson seconded by Commissioner Ainas to close the public
hearing. Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Nelson, Ainas,
Bernards and Wallerstedt. Voting against: none. The motion passed.
ACTION RECOMMENDING DENIAL OF APPLICATION NO. 87027 (Dr. John B. Lescault)
Motion by Commissioner Ainas seconded by Commissioner Nelson to recommend denial of
Application No. 87027 on the grounds that the applicant has not demonstrated that
the qualifications for obtaining a variance from the Sign Ordinance contained in
Section 34 -180 of the City Ordinances have been met particularly in the following
ways:
1. The hardship cited by the applicant is not unusual for a home
occupation located on a major thoroughfare.
2. The conditions upon which the application for a variance is based
are not unique inasmuchas there have been at least eight home
occupations along Brooklyn Boulevard which have lived within the
restrictions of the Sign Ordinance.
3 A large (4' x 8' ) home occupation sign would be detrimental to the
integrity of the R1 district in which the residence of the
applicant is located.
Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Nelson, Ainas, Bernards
and Wallerstedt. Voting against: none. The motion passed.
The applicant, Dr. John B. Lescault, requested that his application be heard at the
first City Council meeting in January, rather than the next meeting which is
December 28, 1987 because he would not be able to attend the December 28 meeting.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
The Secretary requested that the Commission review their Neighborhood Advisory
Group membership list and notify him of any changes or corrections. He also
requested that the Commission review the 1988 Planning Commission meeting dates
included in the packet.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion by Commissioner Wallerstedt seconded by Commissioner Ainas to adjourn the
Planning Commission meeting. Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners
Malecki, Nelson, Ainas, Bernards and Wallerstedt. Voting against: none. The
motion passed. The Planning Commission adjourned at 8:30 P.M.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 87027
Applicant: Dr. John Lescault
Location: 6142 Brooklyn Boulevard
Request: Sign Variance
The applicant requests a variance from the Sign Ordinance to allow a 32 sq. ft.
freestanding home occupation sign at his residence at 6142 Brooklyn Boulevard. The
property in question is zoned Rl and is bounded on the north by 62nd Avenue North, on
the east and south by single- family homes, and on the west by Brooklyn Boulevard.
Dr. Lescault possesses a special use permit for the chiropractor's office he
conducts in his home. Home occupation signs are limited under the,Sign Ordinance to
2.5 sq. ft. Dr. Lescault presently has a small illuminated sign for his business on
Brooklyn Boulevard.
Applicant's Arguments
Dr. Lescault has submitted a letter (attached) addressing the standards for a sign
variance (see Section 34 -180 also attached) . Regarding the standard relating to
hardship, Dr. Lescault states that it is his impression that a hardship does exist
because, even with his new sign, patients continue to park in the dental building to
the south or at Bridgeman's across the street because they do not see the sign.
In his second point, Dr. Lescault states that he is located in a transitional area
that "is not an R1." He states that usage of the larger sign would be appropriate
inasmuchas he is located adjacent to a number of commercial properties. He states
that LeRoy Sign Company has indicated to him that for a 40 m.p.h. road, 5" to 6"
letters and a sign approximately 4' x 8' or 4' x 7' would be appropriate.
In his third point, Dr. Lescault states that he does not see that a sign would affect
the value of adjacent property or the neighborhood as a whole. Dr. Lescault
concludes his letter by stating that there is justification in the variance request
because his clients still have trouble finding him after 11 years of being in
business at this location. He states that drivers slowing down to look for the
office create a traffic hazard. He also states that he has even had patients
attempt to park on Brooklyn Boulevard to enter the office.
Variance Standards
The Planning Commission may recommend and the City Council may grant variances from
the literal provisions of the Sign Ordinance in instances where their strict
enforcement would cause undue hardship because of circumstances unique and
distinctive to the specific property or use under consideration. The provisions of
the Sign Ordinance, considered in conjunction with the unique and distinctive
circumstances related to the property or uses thereof must be the proximate cause of
the hardship; circumstances caused by the property owner or the applicant or a
predecessor in title shall not constitute sufficient justification to grant a
variance. A variance may be granted by the City Council after demonstration by
evidence that all of the following qualifications are met:
1. A particular hardship to the owner would result if the strict
letter of the regulations were carried out;
2. The conditions upon which the application for a variance is based
are unique to the parcel of land or the use thereof for which the
variance is sought and are not common, generally to other
property or uses thereof within the same zoning classification;
12 -17 -87 -1-
Application No. 87027 continued
3. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public
welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the
neighborhood.
Staff Analysis
Regarding hardship, the confusion of potential customers has been justification for
a variance in the cases of Iten Chevrolet and the old Holiday Inn. These variances
were for the height of signs near major freeway interchanges.
It should be noted that these variances were granted in the early 1970's, one (the
Iten Chevrolet variance) prior to the adoption of the current Sign Ordinance.
These variances are not considered to be precedents in this case primarily due to
more recent actions on the part of the City Council to deny sign variance requests
involving Duke's Standard in 1982 and Russell Viska for the Smoke House Restaurant
in 1981. In both of these applications the applicants cited the difficulty
potential customers have in finding their establishments and both wanted higher
signs to be seen from major thoroughfares. Both applications were denied. Also,
in 1982 Universal Sign Company sought a variance for the height of the Budgetel sign.
That application was reviewed by the Planning Commission on two different occasions
and it appeared that the Planning Commission would recommend denial of the
application. It was later withdrawn and not pursued.
One thing we are skeptical of is the need for a 4' x 8' sign when the letters only need
to be 5" to 6" high. Some of the letters in Dr. Lescault's sign are already almost 5"
high ( 4 3/4 for the word Chiropractor) . Other letters are 3" high ( for the words:
Dr. John B. Lescault) . It is probably not possible to get the same message into the
existing sign with 6 high letters. The sign is 1' x 3' and, therefore, exceeds the
ordinance maximum of 2.5 sq. ft. It is our estimate, though we have not designed
such a sign, that a smaller sign, more square in shape could accommodate 5 or 6"
letters.
As to uniqueness, Dr. Lescault's business is not unique on Brooklyn Boulevard.
There have been at least eight home occupations located on Brooklyn Boulevard and
all have lived within the limits of the Sign Ordinance.- Dr. Lescault's office
perhaps generates more customer traffic than some of the other home occupations on
Brooklyn Boulevard and so, if there is a problem with identification signery, it may
indeed affect more people. Nevertheless, all home businesses would no doubt like
greater exposure and if a variance is granted in this ease, the likelihood of
additional variances to other home occupations on Brooklyn Boulevard is great,
because Dr. Lescault's situation does not appear to be unique.
Staff conducted a survey of 17 municipalities regarding their ordinances governing
home occupation signs. Ten of the 17 do not permit any signery at all. One
community allows a 1 sq. ft. sign; four allow 2 sq. ft. signs; one allows a 4 sq. ft.
sign; and one allows a 6 sq. ft. sign. None allow larger signs if the business is
located on a major thoroughfare. It, therefore, appears that Brooklyn Center is
already more lenient than most cities in regards to home occupation signs. Because
of the existence of other home occupations on Brooklyn Boulevard, we would recommend
an ordinance change before a variance. However, in light of the survey results, we
cannot recommend an ordinance change either.
12 -17 -87 -2-
Application No. 87027 continued
Finally, as to detriment to the public welfare or injury to other property in the
neighborhood, staff would acknowledge that such a sign would not be injurious to the
businesses in the neighborhood. But, we do feel that such a sign is inappropriate
for the Rl district which includes this property. Dr. Lescault argues that his
property is "certainly considered a transitional area and is not an Rl." This may
be true in a practical sense, but the legal fact is that this property is zoned Rl,
that it is a residence, and that the business conducted is a home occupation. As
such it is subject to greater restrictions than if it were an office use in a
commercial district. We believe the proposed sign is out of character with the Rl
district and with home occupations generally. In that sense it is a detriment to
the public welfare.
It should also be pointed out that Dr. Lescault had previously sought a similar
variance under Planning Commission Application No. 84025 in July and August of 1984.
His arguments then are very similar to those being made today. The City Council
denied that 1984 application on the grounds that the Standards for a Variance had not
been met.
Dr. Lescault's zoning status is that of a special home occupation in an Rl zoning
district. As such, the home occupation is to be clearly incidental and secondary to
the residential use of the property. Home occupations are not afforded all the
rights and privileges of commercial uses in commercial zoning districts. The City
has determined that a maximum 2.5 sq. ft. signs are appropriate in residential
zoning districts for home occupations, whether they are permitted home occupations
or special home occupations. Any changes should be made in the form of an ordinance
amendment not through the granting of a variance.
Recommendation Based on the foregoing analysis, it is recommended that the proposed
variance be denied on the grounds that the applicant has not demonstrated that the
Standards for a Variance have been met particularily in the following ways:
1. The hardship cited by the applicant is not unusual for a home
occupation located on a major thoroughfare.
2. The conditions upon which the application for a variance is based
are not unique inasmuchas there have been at least eight home
occupations along Brooklyn Boulevard which have lived within the
restrictions of the Sign Ordinance.
3. A large (4' x 8 1 ) home occupation sign would be detrimental to the
integrity of the Rl district in which the residence of the
applicant is located.

Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on An
Ordinance Amending the Brooklyn Center City Charter and inquired if there was
anyone present who wished to speak at the public hearing. No one requested to
speak and he entertained a motion to close the public hearing.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Theis
to close the public hearing on An Ordinance Amending the Brooklyn Center City
Charter. The motion passed unanimously.
ORDINANCE NO. 88 -01
Member Bill Hawes introduced the following ordinance and moved its adoption:
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE BROOKLYN CENTER CITY CHARTER
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing ordinance was duly seconded by
member Celia Scott, and the motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager told the City Council in the near future it will be considering
changes to the City's ordinances regarding the fire chief position.
PLANNING COMMISSION ITEM
PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 87027 SUBMITTED BY DR. JOHN LESCAULT
REQUESTING A VARIANCE FROM THE SIGN ORDINANCE TO ALLOW A 32 SO FT FREESTANDING
HOME OCCUPATION SIGN AT HIS RESIDENCE AT 6142 BROOKLYN BOULEVARD
The City Manager said this item was recommended for denial by the Planning
Commission at its December 17, 1987, meeting. He added the applicant requested
this item be considered by the City Council at this evening's meeting rather
than the December 28, 1987, City Council meeting.
The Director of Planning and Inspection proceeded to review the Planning
Commission's consideration of Application No, 87027. He referenced pages two
and three of the December 17, 1987, Planning Commission minutes and the
informational sheet attached to the minutes. He said a public hearing was held
and the Commission unanimously recommended the City Council deny the application
on grounds the qualification for meeting the e City ordinance have not been
met
for reasons cited in the Planning Commission minutes. The Director of Planning
and Inspection said a public hearing is scheduled this evening, notices have
been sent, and the applicant is present.
Mayor Nyquist asked if anything about the applicant's home is unique or
different from other home occupations on Brooklyn Boulevard. The Director of
Planning and Inspection noted the City ordinance regarding signs for home
occupations does not refer to the location of the home, so regardless of whether
or not it is located on or off of Brooklyn Boulevard, compliance with the sign
ordinance must be met. He said he does not feel the applicant's situation is
unique. Councilmember Lhotka asked how many home occupations are located along
Brooklyn Boulevard, and the Director of Planning and Inspection said there are
approximately six. Councilmember Lhotka asked if the location were zoned Cl,
would a larger sign be allowed. The Director of Planning and Inspection
responded affirmatively; however, because the applicant has a home occupation,
he is restricted to the home occupation. ordinance regardless of zoning of the
location.

Councilmember Scott asked what the size of the existing sign is, and the
Director of Planning and Inspection said it is 3 sq. ft. rather than the 2.5 sq.
ft. allowed by ordinance.
Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on Planning
Commission Application No. 87027 submitted by Dr. John Lescault requesting a
variance from the sign ordinance. He recognized Dr. John Lescault, who said his
land is transitional property and said he has been told by a sign company that a
larger sign would be appropriate. In addition, if he brings in another doctor
on his staff, the letters on the sign have to be made even smaller to allow both
his and the other doctor's names on the sign. Councilmember Scott asked the
applicant why he feels it is necessary to put the doctors' names on the sign
when all he would need to do is put Lescault Clinic on the sign. Dr. Lescault
said under law he is required to post the names of the doctors on the sign and
also include the word chiropractor on the sign. Councilmember Lhotka asked the
Director of Planning and Inspection if he was aware that the chiropractor and
the doctors' names have to be on the sign as required by law. The Director of
Planning & Inspection said he was not aware of this. Councilmember Lhotka
pointed out that the home occupation ordinance is very emphatic about signs.
The City Manager said if any consideration is given for granting a variance, the
Council should examine the ordinance to decide whether or not the ordinance
should be amended. Councilmember Lhotka agreed with the City Manager. Dr.
Lescault pointed out that his business is unique because other home occupations
do not have to list the doctors' names on their signs.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Hawes
to close the public hearing on Planning Commission Application No. 87027
submitted by Dr. John Lescault regarding a variance from the sign ordinance.
The motion passed unanimously.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Theis
to table Planning Commission Application No. 87027 submitted by Dr. John
Lescault requesting a variance from the sign ordinance while staff investigates
the law that may affect the contents of the applicant's sign; staff is requested
to put this item on the agenda when sufficient information has been obtained.
Councilmember Hawes asked if another doctor can be employed at the location of a
home occupation, and the Director of Planning and Inspection said another
employee is allowed. Upon vote being taken on the foregoing motion, the motion
passed unanimously.
SELECT MAYOR PRO TEM
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Theis to
appoint Councilmember Hawes as the Mayor Pro tem for 1988. The motion passed
unanimously.
CONSENT AGENDA
Mayor Nyquist inquired if any Councilmembers requested any items removed from
the consent agenda. Councilmember Hawes requested item 12h be removed,
Councilmember Theis requested item 10d be removed, and Councilmember Lhotka
requested item 10a be removed from the consent agenda.

Engineer's Report
1989 -04, 05, 06 & 07
', "TI._ 1NTR'ODZTCT'ION
The proposed street improvement program concentrates on the Municipal State Aid
(MSA) Street System. The MSA Street System is highlighted on Map 1 (page 2) and
represents most of the collector streets for which the City has full
responsibility. Streets selected for this detailed study consists of the street
segments that have had the most severe problems. Except for a segment of France
Avenue, south of the Soo Railroad, the streets in this proposed program have
deficient pavement structure and serious drainage problems. The purpose of this
detailed study is to determine the most feasible resolution of the problems.
DESIGN CRITERIA
It is recommended that the City fund the eligible elements of this street
improvement program with MSA funds and that special assessments be levied to
benefitted properties. To be eligible for MSA funding, the street improvements
must conform to MSA design criteria for alignment, width, parking, structure,
right of way, and drainage. The drainage systems will be designed for a 10 year
return period, the city standard for commercial and industrial zones. Proper
drainage improves safety and the road structure from damage caused by
surface water. The Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission approval is
required for the new elements of the drainage system.
DISCUSSION
Table 1 on page _5 summarizes the major deficiencies identified in this study.
Except for one segment of France Avenue, all of the streets in the proposed
program have similar deficiencies. None of the streets meet all required
elements of MSA design criteria. The greatest problem common to all the streets
is poor drainage. Lack of curb and gutter and poor vertical alignment have
magnified the drainage problems to a point where these problems are affecting
the pavement structure. In most cases, an adequate drainage system was never
installed for the roadway. Table 1 summarizes sidewalks and trailway needs
which range from repair to new construction. The sanitary sewer lift station on
Lakebreeze Avenue needs modifications to allow trailway construction.
Acquisition of some additional right of way is recommended, to provide optional
parking and trailway facilities. However, these are optional elements which can
be eliminated, if necessary, to allow the project to proceed in the event that
acquisition of these parcels becomes difficult.

ZII. RbA17WA'Y 'INlPRMEEMENTS
I have estimated the "salvage value" of the existing pavement as a credit
against any cost related to roadway construction given routine maintenance. In
my opinion, the estimated percentage of pavement value remaining is generous for
all of the streets. The pavement has salvage value because of the good
maintenance performed by the City. Table 1 (page 5) summarizes the alignment
deficiencies identified in the study. The poor alignment accounts for standing
water, ice dams and other problems related to poor alignment. Correcting the
problem is a major task because adjacent property grades preclude fill options.
Cut options mean that the entire road section must be rebuilt at a lower grade
to establish the minimum slope required for drainage.
France Avenue Area Project
Except as noted in Table 1 (page 5), all of the streets in the France Avenue
area need realignment to establish drainage, for safety, and to protect the road
structure from damage. Realignment is necessary on Lakebreeze to improve grade
at the Denny's Restauxant anzxance and to provide .improved geometries at the
France Avenue intersection. The proposed realignment would also provide needed
improvements to drainage on Lakebreeze Avenue west of Denny's Restaurant.
Logan Avenue Area Project
g
Logan Avenue and Lilac Drive are nearly flat from 57th Avenue to 59th Avenue.
Given the constraint of matching property lines, there is no alternative to
lowering grade if proper drainage slope is to be established on these streets_
The realignment for proper drainage exposes other problems. The realignment
establishes good drainage but it is done at the expense of the existing pavement
structure and the expense of the existing shallow storm sewer. The existing
pavement has some salvage value as indicated in Table 1 (page 5). The existing
storm sewer has no value because it is a liability in the winter, freezing so
quickly that it simply is not functional when it is needed most.
The proposed pavement widths are listed in Table 2 (page 6). The proposed
widths include curb and gutter and conform to MSA design standards_ A more
detailed illustration of the street section is in Appendix A (page 19).

IV. STORM WATER DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
There is a dramatic difference in the drainage system needs in the two projects.
The Logan Avenue Area Project has overwhelming needs and the France Avenue Area
Project has normal needs. The proposed storm water drainage systems were sized
in accordance to City standards for commercial and industrial zones. They were
sized for a 10 -year return period storm. Bringing existing systems up to
current design standards results in the need for reconstruction and relocation
of existing drainage facilities and the need for new systems at other locations.
France Avenue Area Project
Work in this area consists of lateral construction and catch basin relocations.
The proposed construction of this drainage system is needed to compliment the
roadway realignment. The system must be installed to facilitate curb and
gutter construction. A schematic of the proposed drainage system for the France
Avenue Area Project is in Appendix K (page 45).

Engineer's Report
1988 -04, 05, 06 & 07
Logan Avenue Area ?roject
Logan Avenue and Lilac Drive between 57th and 59th Avenue do not have sufficient
elevation difference to remove storm water. The problems were detailed
previously as roadway deficiencies. None of the grade problems can be corrected
without increasing the street slope. Raising the street at one end was not an
option because that alternative raised the street above adjacent property.
Lowering the grade requires a low point on 58th. While a storm sewer exists at
58th and Logan Avenue, the needed grade adjustment to Logan Avenue puts the
street grade below the existing storm sewer. Even if there had been no grade
adjustment needed on Logan Avenue and Lilac Drive, the existing storm sewer has
numerous deficiencies. It is undersized for the amount of storm water it must
collect and is so shallow that it freezes shut even during mild winters. This
frequent freeze problem results in ice dams and those ice dams are a hazard. A
deeper, higher capacity storm sewer is required to facilitate the proposed
revisions to the Logan Avenue Area Project. A deeper storm sewer is the
linchpin that makes the roadway work feasible.
As noted above, resolution of the drainage system needs for the Logan Avenue
Area Project is difficult and expensive. There are two alternatives. One is to
do nothing. The other is to build an expensive storm sewer and with - the
Logan Avenue Area Project- Resolution of the storm sewer problem is expensive
because it serves an area that was never included into the design of the storm
sewer systems which surround this area. All of the surrounding systems are too
high and lack sufficient capacity to accomodate additional flow from the Logan
Avenue Area Project.
The "build" alternative has three potential alignments and they are shown
schematically in Appendix J (page 40). Alternate A utilizes the system in
59th Avenue. The line has to be extended to Dupont in order to gain sufficient
depth to avoid freeze problems. Alternate A has the greatest impact on the
existing street system. This alternative necessitates reconstruction of half of
58th Avenue, a street that is in good condition.
Alternate B is an "all pipe" alternative and is shown as the recommended
alternate. It has a minimal impact on the existing street system and has the
potential of correcting other problems in the future. This alternative is
located in highway right of way and in the boulevard along Lilac Drive. Only a
short segment will damage existing pavement on 57th Avenue. This alternative
and the following alternative are the most cost effective in correcting the
drainage problems at 57th Avenue intersections east of Logan Avenue. On 57th,
storm water ponds at Irving Avenue because of another frost susceptible storm
sewer which drains that intersection. Storm water ponds in the other
intersections along 57th Avenue, because improvements on 57th, have trapped some
of the runoff. A future lateral extension of the currently proposed storm sewer
(Alternate B), easterly along 57th Avenue, could correct this problem.

Engineer's Report
1988 -04, 05, 06 & 07
Alternate C is similar to Alternate B in alignment and function. This alternate
utilizes an open drainage way in the TH100 ditch. This alternative is the least
costly from the standpoint of initial cost, but there are long term maintenance
factors and functional characteristics that were considered in analyzing this
alternative. The open ditch would hold stagnant water during the warm part of
the year. The stagnant water would be a nuisance to adjacent property owners
and would interfere with ditch maintenance on THIN. This alternative was not
recommended because, in the final analysis, it was a resolution of one problem
that simply transferred the problem somewhere else. The long term cost
difference was calculated to be $6,930 per year over the next 20 years. While
the actual maintenance savings does not account for that difference, the
aesthetic value and the elimination of the nuisance of stagnant water makes
Alternate B a more practical and attractive alternative and it is the
recommended alternative.
Construction of Alternate B would affect access to business on Lilac Drive and
to the golf course. The final plans and specifications for this project will
require the contractor to maintain access to the businesses and to the golf
course
V. "STDEWAIKITRAII.WAY IMPROVEMENTS
Sidewalk repair and trail construction is a major element of the proposed
program. A summary of the recommendations for sidewalk and trail construction
is in Table 1 (page 5). The work along 50th, France, and Lakebreeze Avenues is
a Phase I element to the bike and pedestrian trail that would link the southwest
corner of the City to the Brookdale area. No sidewalk or bike trail is proposed
for France Avenue south of 48th Avenue. The sidewalk /bike trail map is on page
18.
France Avenue Area Project
An off- street combination bike and pedestrian trail is proposed from Azelia
Avenue and Lakebreeze Avenue to France Avenue and 50th Avenue. This 10 foot
wide trail would be a part of the southwest link from the Twin Lake area to the
Brookdale Shopping Center area. This trail could be extended westerly from
Azelia Avenue as an "on- street" facility in the future, since that is a
residential area with low traffic volumes. The alignment of a future bike and
pedestrian trail north of France Avenue and 50th Avenue would divide.
Pedestrians would follow France Avenue to 53rd Avenue then east across Brooklyn
Boulevard to Brookdale. The bike trail would run east from France Avenue and
50th Avenue, along 50th Avenue as an off - street facility to Drew Avenue where it
would turn-north as an on- street facility along Drew Avenue to 53rd Avenue where
it would again be a combined bike and pedestrian trail. At Brooklyn Boulevard
the routes would again divide and the bike trail would follow Brooklyn Boulevard
to 55th Avenue where it would enter Brookdale, while the pedestrian trail would
cross Brooklyn Boulevard at the signalized intersection at the north ramp
terminals from TH100.
Engineer's Report
1988 -04, 05, 06 & 07
Alignment of the trail along Drew Avenue rather than along France Avenue is
preferred because the sidewalk on France Avenue north of 50th Avenue is in good
condition and is complete. The bike trail could follow 50th Avenue to Drew
Avenue and then with pavement markings be extended to 53rd. Drew Avenue has a
dower traffic count north of 50th Avenue. The City would have in place most of
the bike and pedestrian trail needed for the southwest link.
Logan Avenue Area Project
The proposed sidewalk work on Logan Avenue is repair and replacement. The
general condition of sidewalk along Logan Avenue is good. There are segments,
particularly under driveways, that should be replaced. Those sidewalk segments
would be replaced as a part of driveway apron construction.
VI. RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION
It is recommended that additional right of way be acquired from seven parcels in
the France Avenue project area, and from two parcels in the Logan Avenue project
area. Acquisition of these parcels will allow development of these projects to
a higher standard than would be possible without the additional right of way,
i.e. development of off - street trailways in leiu of on- street trailways,
provision of additional parking, and the improvement of grader in the vicinity
• of the lift station on Lakebreeze Avenue. The map in Appendix L (page 46) shows
the proposed right of way acquisition and indicates the purpose for taking each
parcel. It is noted, however, that both projects can be built to minimum
standards without obtaining these easements. Accordingly, the right of way
acquisition process would not act as a "roadblock" which could stop the project.
VII. LIFT STATION MODIFICATION
Lift Station No 6 is a prefabricated, steel shelled sewage lift station located
on Lakebreeze Avenue where proposed Grimes Avenue would intersect Lakebreeze
Avenue. The City has had plans to modify this lift station by lowering the
entrance tube. The work was planned as a part of proposed Grimes Avenue
construction north of Lakebreeze Avenue because of a grade differential. The
proposed realignment of Lakebreeze Avenue and the proposed bike and pedestrian
trail create the same grade differential and require some modification of the
lift station entrance. The entrance must be modified if a bike and pedestrian
trail is to be constructed along Lakebreeze Avenue. With the constraints noted
above, there are three options:
1. Do nothing
2. Do everything
3. Do something
9
Engineer's Report
1988 -04, 05, 06 & 07
We evaluated the current problems at Lift Statinn No 6. The major problems .are
listed below:
1. Awkward access to the lift station entrance due to the grade around
the entrance.
2. Overhead electrical service is incompatable with surrounding
improvements (it is unsightly).
3. The electrical controls have malfunctioned on a three year cycle,
when the failure occurs, repair parts must be manufactured.
4. Without the flow from a developed Joslyn site, pumps in the lift
station have very short pump run cycles. This results in high
electrical consumption and in excessive wear and tear on the pumps
and motors.
5. The lift station is 21 years old and its equipment cannot be easily
replaced.
6. Any personnel that must enter the existing lift station will be subject to
the "confined space entry" requirements as proposed by OSHA. This
requirement will result in the need to have a two person crew,
instead of a one person crew attend to work on this lift station
including work ,on weekends and other off -duty periods.
Considering our options, we developed four alternates. One covered the do
nothing and one covered the do everything options. Two alternates covered two
degrees of doing something and developed alternatives for some minimum action
to the maximum effort that addressed all of the problems.
Alternate 1 - Do Nothing
This alternate has a cost because this type of lift station has greater
maintenance cost. That maintenance is more than $2640 per year. The present
value of that additional maintenance over 20 years at an interest rate of 7.5
percent is $26,980. Any alternate that leaves the existing lift station in
service, has that additional cost. Doing nothing will not correct any of the
problems. Detailed calculations of Alternate 1 are in Appendix M (page 49).
Alternate 2 - Correct Problems 1, 2 and 3
This is a minimal effort to do something. It does enough work to facilitate
construction of the bike and pedestrian trail and improves the aesthetics of the
lift station site. The major cost elements of maintenance on the lift station
are not corrected. Confined space entry problems would not be resolved. With
the additional maintenance, the cost of Alternate 2 is estimated to be $51,160.
A detailed estimate is in Appendix M (page 49).
Alternate 3 - Correct Problems 1, 2, 3 and 4
This alternate includes all of the work in Alternate 2 and corrects the short
run cycle problems by replacing one of the pumps. The new pump would be better
matched to the actual flow. This alternate would not reduce the additional
maintenance and the confined space entry problems would have to be addressed_
Alternate 3 has an estimated cost of $61,440. A detailed estimate is in
Appendix M (page 49).
10
Engineer's Report
1988 -04, 05, 06 & 07
AlternaTte 4 Uorrect all of The problems
This is the do everything alternate. It is the complete replacement of the lift
station. The system consists of submersible pumps installed in a wet well which
is nothing more than a large diameter manhole. It is a simple installation and
it is easy to maintain. The City has two other lift stations like the one
proposed. (One is located at West Palmer Lake Drive and Urban Avenue; the other
is located on Freeway Boulevard at Shingle Creek and serves the new Holiday Inn
area.) These stations need much less maintenance because they have fewer
components. In addition to the reduced maintenance there are no confined space
entry problems related to the normal maintenance of this system. That
simplicity adds to the dependability of the lift station. The estimated cost of
Alternate 4 is $57,200.
Recommendation
The do everything Alternate 4 is the recommended alternate because it is the
more cost effective. The most important difference is that this alternate
corrects the confined space entry problem for Lift Station No 6.
VIII. ECONOMIC EVALUATION
The proposed Street Improvement Program is divided into four projects, but that
division is primarily for MSA accounting. Three of the projects are eligible
for MSA funding from the regular account and one (Lakebreeze Avenue) is not
eligible because it is not on the MSA system.
France Avenue Area Project
France Avenue, Lakebreeze Avenue, and 50th Avenue function as a unit serving the
France Avenue area. Since there was no logical, practical or feasible division
point for these three projects, they were combined for purposes of economic
evaluation. A summary of the estimated project cost is shown in Table 3 below.
Detailed estimates are in Appendix B (page 24).

Engineer's Report
1988 -04, 05, 06 & 07
The City's basic policy is to assess 100 percent of street improvement project
costs in commercial and industrial areas. For this project, it is recommended
that special assessments to commercial and industrial properties, and to
properties which are zoned and used as R -4 or R -5 properties, be levied based on
two levels of assessments; i.e., Zone A for property that abuts and benefits
from the improvement, and Zone B for property that does not abut but benefits
from the improvement. For those properties which are currently used as R -1 or
R -2 properties, we recommend that the City's current policy for special
assessments to residential properties be applied. Note: It is recommended that
the assessment rates for residential properties be updated by separate action.
(See proposed resolution which is submitted for consideration by the City
Council.) R -1 and R -2 assessment areas are shown as "Zone C in this report. A
map of the assessment zones is in Appendix C (page 26).
There is a substantial amount of the France - Lakebreeze -50th Avenue frontage that
cannot be assessed. The frontage is single sided frontage along T.H. 100. Some
credit for that frontage is warranted. The credit for the single frontage was
calculated by multiplying the single frontage length times the average depth of
the lots, here taken as 200 feet. The additional area 1s added to Zone A and
used to ;determine the .Zone A assessment rate.
The second credit included in the assessment calculation is the credit for the
salvage value of the pavement structure_ The credit amount is based on the
percentage shown in Table 1 (page 5).
Credit amounts are summarized in Table 4 below. Detailed calculations are in
Appendix D (page 2B).

Logan Avenue Area Project
All of Logan Avenue and Lilac Drive between 57th Avenue and 59th Avenue are
included in the Logan Avenue area. A summary of the estimated project cost is
shown in Table 5 (page 14). Detailed estimates are in Appendix F (page 32). The
storm sewer construction cost used ($327,400) is the estimated cost of the most
probable alignment i.e. Alternate "B" as shown in Appendix J (page 40). If the
Alternate "B" storm sewer system is installed, it is recommended that the system
be sized to allow its future extension easterly along 57th Avenue, to Humboldt
Avenue, to resolve existing minor drainage problems on 57th Avenue.

TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST $595,490
Similar to the France Avenue project, the proposed assessment rates for
commercial and industrial properties, and for R -4 and R -5 properties is based on
two levels of assessment, i.e. Zone A for property that abuts and benefits from
the improvement and Zone B for property that does not abut but benefits from the
improvement. Again, for properties which are currently used as R -1, R -2, or R -3
properties, we recommend application of the City's current policy for special
assessments to these areas. Accordingly, R -1 and R -2 properties are included in
"Zone C" assessment areas and R -3 properties are included in "Zone D " assessment
areas in this report. A map of the assessment zones is in Appendix G (page 34).
Because there is an area of single frontage an Lilac Drive along TH100, some
credit for that frontage is warranted. The credit for the single frontage was
calculated by multiplying the single frontage length times the average depth of
the lots, here taken as 200 feet. The additional area is added to Zone A and
used to determine the Zone A assessment rate.
The second credit included in the calculation is the credit for the salvage
value of the pavement structure. The credit amount is based on the percentage
shown in Table 1 (page 5).
In my opinion, it is not feasible to construct the Logan Avenue street
improvements without providing a positive resolution of storm drainage problems
which have existed in this area since its original development; i.e. no adequate
trunk system was ever extended to this area. By comparison the drainage system
for the France Avenue area is 21 percent of the roadway cost. If the Logan
Avenue area had similar costs the storm sewer cost would be $36,030. The
amount, while being somewhat artificial, represents a reasonable cost for storm
sewer. The proposed credit for storm sewer would be the difference between the
estimated cost and $36,030.
Credit amounts are summarized in Table 6 (p age IS Detailed a '

Funding Summary
In addition to the special assessments as recommended above, it is recommended
that the City request reimbursement of project costs from its Regular Municipal
State Aid fund (2613) to the full extent that those costs are eligible for MSA
participation. Together with the utilization of the City's Local MSA fund
(2611), all project costs would be covered. Following is a summary of the
proposed funding for these projects:

preliminary estimate of the eligibility for MSA funding of various
elements of the proposed projects. Final eligibility for MSA funding
will be determined when construction plans, specifications, and cost
estimates are submitted to MNDOT for approval.
* *Note: Local MSA fund participation will vary, depending on actual project
costs, changes in special assessments, and eligibility for funding by
the use of regular MSA funds.
IX. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The improvements as described above are feasible under the conditions outlined
and at the costs estimated. It is recommended that City Council adopt the
attached resolution i this report and calling for a public hearing on
these projects.

handicapped. He added there is a joint venture with the cities
of Plymouth and Crystal for working with older mentally retarded
citizens and said some things are being done, but more probably
could be done.
OTHER BUSINESS
Councilmember Hawes asked if a decision has been made on which
ice rinks will be open this winter. The Director of Recreation
said the same ones as last year will be open, and he will report
back to the commission next year on the usage of these rinks.
There was some discussion on the use of rinks during 1986/1987,
and the Director of Recreation said because last winter was not
an average Minnesota winter, the City is waiting one more year to
review the usage statistics.
Chairman Sorenson referenced the letter he received from the city
manager regarding the Twin Lake parking area. He felt the City
was very negative on the request. He added that it is a little
late now to do any more, especially since a feasibility study
will be conducted for the area next year.
Commissioner Propst laid three baseballs on the table and
announced that this is an example of what is happening in his
neighborhood from the Little League Park; that is, baseballs are
being hit out of the Little League field into his yard. He
wondered if the city council talked about the problem, and
Councilmember Hawes said the council did talk about it but took
no action. Commissioner Propst said the traffic problem occurs
mostly during the Little League games and a blind corner is
created. He said a City monitor was out looking at the area
after the Little League season was completed instead of during
-the season. The Recording Secretary said she will bring this to
the attention of the Administrative Traffic Committee. The
Director of Recreation said he knows the area was monitored
during the Little League season. The Recording Secretary will
ask the Administrative Traffic Committee to review the "Stop"
sign request and the problem with baseballs.
Chairman Sorenson asked if anything had been decided regarding
69th Avenue North, in particular, the issue of taking part of the
Palmer Lake trail system when 69th Avenue North is reconstructed.
The Recording Secretary said she will inform the Administrative
Traffic Committee that the Park and Recreation Commission wishes
to be consulted if and when 69th Avenue North is reconstructed,
particulary in relation to what will happen with the southwest
part of the Palmer Lake area and its trails.
Chairman Sorenson referenced the action the city council took to
amend the resolution and bylaws of the commission. He feels
there still remains a direct conflict with subdivision 6 in the
resolution regarding the chairperson and article VII of the p
bylaws. There was some discussion on the limits laced on the
9 -15 -87 -6-
PARK & RECREATION COPMMISSIO14
commission by article VII and Commissioner Propst asked for
clarification of the chairman's concern. Chairman Sorenson said
he feels the bylaws restrict him as chairman. Commissioner
Peterson said he agrees with the Chairman n and feels the language
should be more specific.
pecific. Commissioner Propst again asked the
Chairman to clarify what precisely the problem is and to prepare
alternatives that would be more satisfactory. Chairman Sorenson
said he feels if he is asked a question at a city council meeting
while representing the commission, he would have to go back to
the commission for an answer before responding to the council.
The commission requested
t '
his item be laced on the next agenda.
P g a.
In the meantime, the commissioners should think of other
proposals that would respond to Chairman Sorenson Is concerns.
Commissioner Peterson said the commission may need to get an
attorney to say exactly what it wants to say. Councilmember
Hawes said this is not necessarily true. Chairman Sorenson
suggested the commission may wish to delete article VII
completely, and Commissioner Propst said he
p would like to look at
this more closely. This item will be further discussed at the
next meeting.
The Director of Recreation reported on the past year's activities
for Entertainment in the Parks. He felt the program was a big
success this year and reported the attendance doubled from the
previous year. The City has obtained a grant for partial funding
for 1988, although this will be the last year a grant will be
available from the Metropolitan Council. The Director of
Recreation added the Lions Club, the Rotary Club, and the city
council have been very generous to the Entertainment in the Parks
program. Chairman Sorenson said this has been a great program.
ADJOURNMENT
There was a motion by Commissioner Propst and seconded by
Commissioner Peterson to adjourn the meeting. The motion passed.

Chairman Sorenson, Commissioners Peterson, Propst, Burnes, and

APPROVAL OF MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 15 1987
There was a motion by Commissioner Burnes and seconded by
Commissioner Peterson to approve the minutes of the September 15,
1987, Park and Recreation Commission meeting. The motion passed.
FACILITY NEEDS
Chairman Sorenson tabled this item to the next Park and Recreation
on meeting.
RESOLUTION /BYLAWS
Chairman Sorenson referred the commission to article VII regarding
authorization to speak on behalf of the commission. Commissioner
Peterson said there is too much ambiguity in this article.
Chairman Sorenson said his problem with this article is that the
commission must first consider and approve any statements, so in
essence, commissioners are prohibited from speaking. Commissioner
Propst asked if anyone was able to prepare an alternative to this
article, and no one responded. Councilmember Hawes suggested
Chairman Sorenson may be reading too much into the article.
Chairman Sorenson responded saying the article says in plain
English that statements must be approved. Councilmember Hawes said
no one will condemn a commissioner for speaking on behalf of the
commission, and the intent in the article is clear. Chairman
Sorenson agreed the intent is clear, but the wording does not say
this.
Commissioner Propst asked if Chairman Sorenson wants members to
feel free to express their individual opinions. Chairman Sorenson
said members have this right regardless. What bothers him is any
statement must be approved by the commission. There was some
discussion on alternative language for the article. Commissioner
Burnes suggested the following language "No member shall speak on
behalf of the commission unless the commission has first discussed
the subject and said speaker is communicating the ideas or issues
10 -27 -87 -1-

[ agrd ee to by the commission." Commissioner Skeels noted the
iginal intent of the bylaws was to allow members to speal
P by giving the position of the commission. Commissioner
opst suggested the proposed language may be too restrictive.
ere was a motion by Commissioner Peterson and seconded by
mmissioner Skeels to recommend to the city council an amendment
article VII of the advisory commission bylaws as suggested by
mmissioner Burnes. The motion passed unanimously. The Recording
cretary said this item will appear on the November 9, 1987, city
uncil agenda.
REVIEW OF GENERAL ORDINANCES RELATED DIRECTLY TO PARKS
Chairman Sorenson said he feels the ordinance related to beer and
alcohol in the parks is too restrictive. The Director of
Recreation said he feels there are no problems now and the
ordinance is working well. Chairman Sorenson said because there
have been a few abuses, everyone should not be restricted. He
pointed out a problem with the current ordinance, which says the
director of parks and recreation issues permits, when in fact there
is no longer a director of parks and recreation. Commissioner
Propst asked who the permits are issued to now, and the Director of
Recreation said civic groups which meet certain qualifications are
eligible to obtain permits.. Commissioner Propst said there should
not be alcohol in the parks because it is not a good environment
for a park. He feels no one should be able to get a permit and
would be happy if the police enforced the ordinance as it currently.
exists. t
Commissioner Peterson said he does not feel it is practical to have
a family obtain a permit to have beer in the park. He said he
cannot see why there should be a requirement except for organized
groups. Commissioner Propst said there can be problems with beer
in the parks. Chairman Sorenson said he would like others besides
civic groups to be able to-get permits, and he would go along with
a compromise of issuing permits to some groups. Commissioner
Skeels wondered if the current ordinance is loosened, under what
basis could the City stop someone from obtaining a permit; he feels
it would be an administrative nightmare for the recreation
department to administer this. The Director of Recreation said
someone would have to be hired just to handle all the issuance of
permits.
Commissioner Skeels said he would not have a problem with
prohibiting alcohol in the parks altogether with no permits issued.
Commissioner Skeels also suggested if the police department is
involved in monitoring and controlling certain events, a permit for
alcohol may be acceptable. Chairman Sorenson said he prefers the
process to allow groups to obtain permits. Commissioner Propst
said he sees problems with this because it would be chaos. He
prefers to limit access of beer to situations where licenses have
been issued and the events are controlled by the police.
10 -27 -87 -2-
CITY COUNCIL
said he would like the Director of Finance to review and prioritize the
proposals for the City Council. He also said on page two, item 7 of the request
for proposals, the word "all" should be inserted before "Minnesota municipal
clients."
There was a motion by Councilmember Theis and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka
to direct staff to proceed to collect requests for proposals for the annual
financial audit and to direct staff to prioritize these proposals for the City
Council. The motion passed unanimously.
RECOMMENDATION FROM THE PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION TO AMEND THE ADVISORY
COMMISSION BYLAWS REGARDING ARTICLE VII WHICH ALLOWS COMMISSION MEMBERS TO SPEAK
ON BEHALF OF THE COMMISSION
Councilmember Theis said he felt since the wording in the bylaws and the
proposed revised wording were both appropriate, he would like to see the Council
change the bylaws to include the proposed wording. Councilmember Hawes said'the
wording has been a real hangup with the commission, especially the chairman and
some of its members who feel they are muzzled by the current wording in the
bylaws. These members feel they should have the ability to speak on behalf of
the Park and Recreation Commission instead of being stymied. The City Manager
said he does not believe the current wording does this.
Councilmember Lhotka asked the City Attorney for his opinion on this, and the
City Attorney said both the existing and proposed language would be fine.
Councilmember Theis said he is willing to agree with the change recommended by
the commission to make the volunteers feel more Y y
receptive b the City. There
P
was some discussion regarding the concerns of the Park and Recreation
Commission. Mayor Nyquist asked if there has been a problem for the commission
with the existing _ g and Councilmember Hawes said there have been no
problems, but the commission feels the language is restrictive. The Personnel
Coordinator reiterated the feelings of the commission as already expressed by
Councilmember Hawes.
There was a motion by Councilmember Theis and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
direct staff to prepare an amendment to the bylaws with the language identical
or similar to the Park and Recreation Commission recommendation for Article VII
of the Advisor Commission bylaws. Advisory la s. The motion passed unanimously.
y p imously.
DESIGNATION OF MISSISSIPPI RIVER AS NATIONAL SCENIC RIVER
The City Manager said this information is being passed on to the Council at the
request of Grey Cloud township. Councilmember Scott said she does not see a
problem with the bill because it does not look like the federal government is
trying to take y g control of the 'v
ri er. She said the bill seems to do more to
protect local overnment and she does not t understand the position taken by Grey
Cloud township. After some brief discussion, the City Council decided not to
take any action on this request.
GROUP HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS
The City Manager said for the last four to five years the City has been involved
with Hennepin County's bidding system for health insurance plans for employees.
He said this year Hennepin County eliminated coverage for PHP and Med Center,
and the City is looking at ways to retain these two options for its employees.

CITY COUNCIL
Councilmember Hawes expressed concern about the insulation, and the Director of
Public Works said it would not be a problem. He stated further the architects
have a good deal of experience with these structures and he is going on the
recommendation of the architects.
RESOLUTION NO. 87 -220
Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING ENGINEER'S REPORT REGARDING REHABILITATION OF WELL HOUSE
NO. 5 AND 6 (IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1987 -20) AND ACCEPTING PROPOSAL FOR
ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES RELATING TO THE PREPARATION OF CONSTRUCTION PLANS AND
SPECIFICATIONS AND CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION OF PROJECT
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Celia Scott, and the motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager presented a Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of a 3/4 Ton
Cab- Chassis for the Public Utilities Department. He said this is a replacement
vehicle and the memorandum in the agenda packet describes the equipment.
Councilmember Lhotka asked why this is not considered during the normal budget
process, and the City Manager noted the Public Utilities Department is not part
of the City's budget.

Purchase of a Mid Size Pickup for the Public Utilities Department. He noted
this request is similar to the previous one.

Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING QUOTATION AND AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF A MID SIZE PICKUP
FOR THE PUBLIC UTILITIES DEPARTMENT
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Rich Theis, and the motion passed unanimously.
r The ith City Manager presented a Resolution Amending Article VII of the Advisory
ommission Bylaws. Mayor Nyquist said he requested removal of this from the
onsent agenda because the more he read the amendment, the more he had problems it. He feels it is dangerous as proposed, and the previous language is
easonable.
11 -23 -87 -5-
CITY COUNCIL
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka
to table the Resolution Amending Article VII of the Advisory Commission Bylaws
and to send it back to the Park and Recreation Commission requesting more
appropriate language. The City Manager said this will also be reviewed with the
City Attorney.
Upon vote being taken on the foregoing motion, the motion passed unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
The City Manager said a hearing on a Resolution of Intent to Organize Collection
of Refuse within the City of Brooklyn Center is scheduled for this evening. He
pointed out that a number of communities are passing resolutions similar to
this. He said the resolution would require the City to look at recycling goals
during the next 90 days, and it may require changes in the way refuse is handled
in the City at this time. The City Manager said there are three alternatives:
have the existing haulers organize their collection process; bid out the
collection to one contractor; or hire our own personnel. He said the latter
option is the least attractive, and the bidding process has some disadvantages,
especially because it limits competition; the preferred choice is to negotiate
with the existing haulers. He said the best of all worlds would be to keep
costs close to what they are now. The City Manager said the cities of Brooklyn
Park, Crystal, and New Hope are interested in participating in a joint powers
agreement with Brooklyn Center and the existing haulers. Staff recommends this
alternative.
Mayor Nyquist asked if the City Manager thinks municipalities could achieve
their goals at the estimated cost. The City Manager said this is an estimate
and pointed out the City of Champlin is providing service for less than
proposed. He proceeded to review the costs involved.
Councilmember Theis asked if under any of the proposals the residents would have
a choice of haulers. The City Manager said they would not. He added a large
percentage of waste is from yards and recyclables, and it would take separate
vehicles to collect the various types of waste. He said it would not be a good
idea to have three different haulers a week coming to a residence in addition to
having a variety of vehicles coming up and down the streets all week servicing
other residences. Councilmember Theis expressed concern over the costs and said
he would like to see them regulated if possible. The City Manager said some
cities are using one contractor and said this is fine if you do get a good
contractor; however, there can be problems associated with this also. He
pointed out because a contract would be negotiated with the haulers and a
contractual relationship is established between the City and the consortium of
haulers, the quality of service can be controlled through the contract.
Councilmember Theis asked about the billing process for refuse service, and the
City Manager said some cities do the billing and others have the contractors do
it. He noted there is better control over the service if the City bills the
users, but then the City receives all the complaints. Councilmember Theis
pointed out if the City does not get involved in service, the homeowner would
have no one to go to if there is a problem with the contractor. The City
Manager said ultimately a resident would complain to the City because of the 1
contract with the haulers. His point was if your name is on the bill, you would

Herbert P. Lefler III
James J. Thomson, Jr. At the last council meeting there was some discussion
Thomas R. Galt about an amendment to Article VII of the Advisory
Dayle Nolan Commission Bylaws relating to circumstances in which
John G. Kressel
Steven B. Schmidt members of the Commission may speak on behalf of the
James M. Strommen Commission.
Aftd H. Batty
W P. Jordan
R. Skallerud The apparent purpose of the provision is to limit cases
Rodney D. Anderson in which any member of a Commission is authorized to
Corrine A. Heine speak for the Commission, presumably to avoid
David D. Beaudoin
Paul E. Rasmussen unauthorized statements or misstatements of the policy or
Steven M.Tallen position of the Commission. It should be noted that the
Mary Frances Skala existing policy does not prevent a member from speaking
Christopher J. Harristhal any p g
Timothy J. Pawlenty for or on behalf of himself or herself. It only limits
Rolf A.Sponheim speaking as an official representative of the Commission.
Julie A. Bergh
It is my understanding that it has been argued that the
rule is unnecessarily restrictive, and a suggestion has
been made to change the language to authorize statements
to be made on behalf of the Commission if " ... the
Commission has first discussed the subject and said
member is communicating the ideas or issues agreed to by
the Commission." Although this language is probably
better than
no restriction at all, it does allow any
member to speak on behalf of the Commission whether the
Commission has authorized that person to speak or not.
Incidentally, it seems that my advice to the City Council
on this matter was understood to mean that there was no
difference between the original language and the proposed
amendment. However, what I intended to communicate to
the council was that there was no legal difference
between the two. That is, that either one would be

legally acceptable. Therefore, a decision as to which of
these versions to adopt for the Commission bylaws is
primarily a policy rather than a legal matter.
As a middle ground, the Commission and Council might
consider language which is less restrictive than the
existing provision but more restrictive than the proposed
amendment such as:
No member of the Commission or its Committees
shall be authorized to speak on behalf of the
Commission publicly, unless the Commission
has first either considered and approved such
f z������5 s - t- andards by motion or has adopted a motion
which identifies the member who is authorized
to speak, the time and place at which the
member is authorized to speak, and the ideas,
issues, facts or policies which the member is
authorized to communicate. Such authority
may be rescinded by the City Council at any
time.
If I can be of any further assistance in this matter,
please feel free to give me a call.
Very truly yours,

MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FOR THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN
AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
REGULAR SESSION
JANUARY 26, 1988
CITY HALL
CALL TO ORDER
Chairman Sorenson called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Chairman Sorenson, Commissioners Skeels, Krefting, Peterson,
Burnes, and Propst. Also present were Councilmember Bill Hawes,
Director of Recreation Arnie Mavis, Mayor Dean Nyquist, and
Recording Secretary Geralyn Barone. Commissioner Manson was
excused from this evening's meeting.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - OCTOBER 27 1987
Commissioner Krefting referred to discussions in the minutes
regarding the ordinance related to grills in the parks. He
expressed some concern about some issues that had not been
discussed related to this. The recording secretary asked if
these concerns were actually discussed and not included in the
minutes, or if they were new concerns not previously discussed.
Commissioner Krefting said these were issues that needed to be
discussed and the minutes were all right as is.
There was a motion by Commissioner Peterson and seconded by
Commissioner Burnes to approve the minutes of the October 27,
1987, park and recreation commission meeting. The motion passed.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - NOVEMBER 17 1987
There was a motion by Commissioner Burnes and seconded by
Commissioner Krefting to approve the minutes of the November 17,
1987, park and recreation commission meeting. The motion passed
u im usly.
RESOLUTION /BYLAWS
The recording secretary said the park and recreation commission's
recommendation for a change to article VII of the advisory
commission bylaws was presented to the city council. The council
requested the commission to once again review the bylaws and
prepare alternative language for an amendment if one is still
desired. The recording secretary distributed a letter regarding
alternative language received from the city attorney, and the
commissioners reviewed the letter at this time.
Chairman Sorenson said if the city council wants to leave the
article of the bylaws as it originally is, the council is
shooting itself in the foot. He said if that is what they wish
to do, then so be it. Commissioner Krefting said he does not

PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION
dike the alternative language suggested by the city attorney.
Commissioner Peterson said he is willing to go along with the
city council. Commissioner Burnes said he feels the language
suggested by the city attorney is too restrictive, but the
language in the existing bylaws is too vague. Commissioner
Propst said he feels the revised recommendation sent to the city
council from the park and recreation commission is a good one and
feels the language suggested by the city attorney is too
restrictive. Councilmember Hawes expressed the concerns of the
city council and said he is not sure which is the best way to go.
Chairman Sorenson said there is a discrepancy between the
enabling resolution and the bylaws; the chairperson is required
to represent the commission, yet the language in the bylaws is
very restrictive. Mayor Nyquist expressed his satisfaction with
the existing language, and he and Chairman Sorenson proceeded to
discuss their differences. Chairman Sorenson said he felt every
statement by a commissioner must be approved by the commission,
and Mayor Nyquist asked if that is not what the City should want.
Commissioner Propst said the proposal presented to the city
council is good because it eliminates the vagueness while
allowing the restrictions to still be imposed. Councilmember
Hawes said he would like to see the language more in line with
what the park and recreation commission has already recommended
to the city council. Commissioner Propst said individuals not
speaking on behalf of the commission should still be able to
represent their own views.
There was a motion by Commissioner Peterson to leave the original
bylaws as they are and refrain from making any recommendation to
the city council. The motion died for a lack of a second.
There was a motion by Commissioner Propst and seconded by
Commissioner Krefting to resubmit to the city council the
original recommendation regarding the change to article VII of
the advisory commission bylaws. Commissioner Burnes asked if the
language would allow commissioners to speak their own individual
views when not representing the commission. There was discussion
on whether or not such a statement should be added to the bylaws.
There was a motion by Commissioner Propst and seconded by
Commissioner Krefting to amend the previous motion to insure the
meaning of the bylaws will allow commissioners to speak as
individuals on issues. The motion passed with Commissioner
Peterson voting against it.
Commissioner Skeels asked Mayor Nyquist what his personal
feelings are, as it appears the city council does not think this
change is needed. Mayor Nyquist said he does not see a problem
with the existing language and feels individuals already can
speak on behalf of themselves without this being clarified.

PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION
Commissioner Skeels said the article in the bylaws appears to be
. contradictory. Mayor Nyquist said he does not understand what
the big problem is.
Upon vote being taken on the amended motion to reaffirm the
recommendation and include language that says the provision does
not prevent any member from speaking for or on behalf of himself
or herself, the motion passed with Commissioner Peterson voting
against it.
Mayor Nyquist pointed out in the letter from the city attorney
the word "standard" should be "statement."
TRAILWAYS
The director of recreation said he had received a request to have
the trail system plowed in the winter months. There was
discussion of the problems associated with plowing, including
costs, liability, and the problem of wind blowing over the plowed
trailways. Mayor Nyquist said he agreed that there is a
liability concern if the trail system is plowed. Commissioner
Peterson asked if Minneapolis plows its trails, and the director
of recreation responded affirmatively. Councilmember Hawes asked
if the City has the same liability if someone falls on a sidewalk
that has been plowed by the City. Mayor Nyquist responded
affirmatively, but said there is a question of reasonableness
which would apply. The director of recreation told the
commissioners the may receive hone calls from e
Y Y P people requesting
the trailways be plowed. Commissioner Propst asked if the
trailways are not plowed, is the City liable. Mayor Nyquist said
if the trailways are not technically open, then people proceed at
their own risk.
Chairman Sorenson requested the director of recreation to re re a
P P
for the next meeting an estimate outlining the cost of winter
maintenance of the trailways. The director of recreation said
there may have to be a choice of maintaining the skating rinks or
plowing the trailways, because there may not be enough resources
to do both. _Commissioner Propst requested a legal opinion be
obtained to determine what the City's liability is if a tr '
Y Y ailwa
Y
is not P lowed.
REVIEW OF GENERAL ORDINANCES RELATED DIRECTLY TO PARKS
Chairman Sorenson asked if there was any interest in changing
section 13 -103 of the ordinance, and there was none.
The commissioner proceeded to discuss section 13 -102 regarding
the
curfew in the parks. Chairman Sorenson said with the 6 a.m.
curfew, there are violators of the curfew during the summer
months. There was discussion over what would be acceptable hours
to change the curfew. Commissioner Propst said in reality, if
someone is jogging through the park after curfew, the police
probably will not stop them unless there is trouble being

February 4, 1988
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT. RFP for Analysis of Issues Relating to
Residential Treatment Facility Moratorium
To the Honorable Mayor & City Council:
As the Council will recall, late in October of last year you
passed a moratorium on residential treatment facilities in
Brooklyn Center.
Attached is a RFP draft developed by Ron Warren, Director of
Planning and Inspections. Also attached is a memorandum you
previously received from Pete Koole, City Assessor, covering the
cost of a property value impact analysis of these type of
facilities.
Please understand that the proposed RFP relates only to our
current ordinance and the standards contained therein. The
property value analysis would be a separate study, and we have
not developed a draft RFP. At this time we have not completed
any detailed cost analysis of either of these studies, but our
preliminary estimates range in the area of $10,000 to $15,000 for
the property value impact analysis and in the area of $20,000 to
$25,000 for the zoning ordinance and land use standards analysis.
We would like to discuss with the City Council the extent and
type of analysis you would like to have completed on this general
subject and give staff direction. If you approve, our next step
would be to finalize a RFP for one or both studies and return it
to you for final approval and substantiated cost estimates. The
costs would have to be financed out of the contingency fund
Respectfully submitted,
Gerald G. Sp l nter
City Manager

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Ronald A. Warren, Director of Planning and Inspectip6
DATE: October 23, 1987
SUBJECT: Study of Planning and Land Use Issues Relating to Residential
Facilities
You have requested me to elaborate further on the various planning and land use
issues that need to be studied if the City Council decides to adopt an interim
ordinance establishing a moratorium on certain residential facilities.
The interim ordinance, which is scheduled for a second reading and public hearing on
October 26, 1987, lists reasons and areas of study. Section 1.02 of that ordinance
points out that our Zoning Ordinance is unclear about how certain uses are
classified and whether or not there is a need for a new classification.
Much of the classification issue is based on what the state has defined in Minnesota
Statutes 245.782, Subdivision 6, as a "residential facility" and how this relates to
our Zoning Ordinance classification of uses. State Statutes at 245.782,
Subdivision 6, defines a residential facility as:
11 ... any facility, public or private, which for gain or otherwise
regularly provides one or more persons with a 24 hour per day
to substitute for care, food, lodging, training, education,
supervision, habilitation, rehabilitation, and treatment they need,
which for any reason cannot be furnished in the persons own home.
Residential facilities include, but are not limited to: state
institutions under the control of the Commissioner of Human Services,
foster homes, residential treatment centers, maternity shelters,
group homes, residential programs, supportive living residences for
functionly impaired adults, or schools for handicapped children."
Our Zoning Ordinance does not define residential facility, nor make reference to the
State definition. Under our Zoning Ordinance classification of uses, we list as
either permitted uses or special uses in certain zoning districts "nursing care
homes (at not more than 50 beds per acre), maternity care homes, boarding care homes
and child care homes, provided that these institutions shall, where required by
state law, or regulation, or by municipal ordinance, be licensed by the appropriate
state or municipal authority." This classification is listed as a special use in
the R4 and R5 multiple residence zoning districts and as a permitted use in the Cl and
C1A service /office zoning districts. This classification of uses is not
referenced in any other zoning district.
The area needing further study, with possible amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, is
the proper definition and classification of uses already included in our ordinance
and other uses, such as those listed in Section 1.02. Do all of the uses listed have
similar land use characteristics and land use impacts on surrounding properties, to
classify them in the same manner?
Memo
Page 2
October 23, 1987
Section 1.03 of the proposed interim ordinance lists four subareas in need of
further study that are related to planning and land use issues and regulation. No.
1 of Section 1.03 lists "the particular zoning districts in which such uses should be
allowed as either permitted uses or special uses" as an area in need of further
review.
Presently, State Statues, at 245.812, Subdivision 4, mandates that a licensed
residential facility (as defined above) serving from 7 through 16 persons shall be
considered a permitted multiple - family residential use of property for the purposes
of zoning. A municipality may require a conditional use or special use permit in
order to assure proper maintenance and operation of a facility, provided that no
conditions shall be imposed on the facility which are more restrictive than those
imposed on other conditional uses or special uses of residential property in the
same zones, unless such additional conditions are necessary to protect the health
and safety of the residents of the facility. This means that in our multiple - family
residential zoning districts (R3 through R7), the City must allow a licensed
residential facility with 7 through 16 clients. The state has apparently
determined that these residential facilities, provided they are licensed and have
Limited occupancies, have land use characteristics compatible with all multiple
residential zones and must be permitted. No determination has apparently been made
by the state that licensed residential facilities housing 17 or more clients are
compatible with all multiple - family residential zones and have similar land use
characteristics with other multiple - family residential zoning districts. This is
apparently something than can be determined locally.
As mentioned previously, the classification of "nursing care homes, maternity care
homes, boarding care homes and child care homes" is listed in our Zoning Ordinance as
a special use in the R4 and R5 multiple - family zoning districts and as a permitted
use in the Cl and ClA service /office zoning districts. It is because of this
classification that we are currently required to consider residential facilities,
particularly residential facilities with 17 or more clients as special uses in the
R4 and R5 zoning districts.
Northwest Residence with 14 clients and the Bill Kelly House with 23 clients fall
under this classification. Currently, the City would not have to process a special
use permit, nor allow, a licensed residential facility with 17 or more clients in the
R3, R6 or R7 zoning districts because such classifications of use are not listed in
those particular zoning districts. Again, licensed residential facilities
serving 7 through 16 clients are mandated by the state as permitted uses in our R3,
R6, and R7 multiple residential zoning districts and would have to be allowed. In
the C1 and C1A zoning.districts, nursing care homes, maternity care homes, boarding
care homes, and child care homes would be allowed as permitted uses (no special use
permit required). One might assume that a licensed residential facility of any
number might also be considered a permitted use in the Cl and C1A zoning districts;
although this is not clear.
It is inconsistencies such as these that lead to the need to further study and
clarify not only the definitions and land use classifications contained in our
Zoning Ordinance, but also land use characterics such as parking needs, traffic
Memo
Page 3
October 23, 1987
generation, density and other land use impacts that make these uses similar or
dissimilar, and what appropriate land use districts should this uses be allowed in?
Are these uses similar and /or compatible to each other and similar and /or compatible
with uses already allowed in particular zoning districts? Is there a need to
establish a separate land use district, and district regulations, for these uses?
Point No. 2, of Section 1.03 of the interim ordinance questions "the population
density of clientele that such facilities should serve in the various zoning
districts." Does the number of clients in a particular residential facility or in a
nursing care home, boarding care home, etc. have an affect on land use
considerations such as parking? Again, the state only mandates that licensed
residential facilities serving 7 through 16 be considered a multiple- residential
use of property. Do facilities with more than 16 clients cause different, or
negative impacts on surrounding properties? Does the type of treatment being
provided, or the type of clientele being admitted, create different land use related
impacts that warrant different or separate regulations or considerations? As an
example, does a residential facility providing treatment for 18 mentally retarded
teenagers have a substantially different zoning impact than a residential facility
housing 24 chemically dependent exconvicts? Do all residential facilities have
the same land use charactistics? Does the number of clients housed in a facility
cause different zoning related concerns?
No. 3, under Section 1.03, relates to "the concentration and density of such uses in
the City and its neighborhoods." In 1984 the State Legislature adopted legislation
to promote the dispersal of residential facilities from highly concentrated areas.
The highly concentrated areas exist primarily in the central cities of Minneapolis
and St. Paul. The legislation defined "highly concentrated" as " . having a
population in residential facilities serving 7 or more persons that exceeds one half
of one percent of the population of a recognized planning district or other
administrative subdivision."
Brooklyn Center, which is an inner ring suburb aka, can expect to see relocations of
residential facilties into the area, due to, among other things, its close proximity
to the central cities. Brooklyn Center must be concerned as well that it does not
become overconcentrated with residential facilities to the point that we begin
experiencing the same kinds of problems experienced by the central cities that have
become highly concentrated with residential facilities. Specific regulations
need to be studied for possible adoption to prevent overconcentration of
residential facilities in our community. Is i+ possible to establish, as a zoning
regulation, the maximum population allowed in terms of residential facilities for
the City? Can the City's "neighborhoods" be used as a "recognized planning
district" to avoid overconcentration in these areas as well.
No. 4, in Section 1.03, relates to planning and land use concerns regarding the need
to study the effect the location of residential facilities may have on surrounding
properties. Do any of the broad category of residential facilities have an adverse
impact on the health, safety, and welfare of surrounding properties? As an
example, do residential facilities for former child abusers create unwarranted
safety concerns for neighborhood children, or children attending a nearby school?
It does not appear that all of the various types of residential facilities have the
Memo
Page 4
October 23, 1987
same impact on nei hborhood safety. fety. Lbes the type of clientele, or the type of
treatment being offered, adversely impact neighborhood safety or neighborhood
property values?
These are the types of questions that need to be addressed in a major study regarding
residential facilities. It must determine if our ordinances appropriately
classify and distinguish between potentially similar and dissimilar uses and the
need for special regulations and considerations in dealing with residential
facilities from a planning and zoning perspective.

MEMORANDUM
Date: August 11, 1987
To: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
From: Peter M. Koole, City Assessor rK
Subject: Impact Analysis - Proposed Bill Kelly House
You have asked me to consider whom we might retain if the
City were to undertake a study of the impact on property values
the proposed Bill Kelly House would have in the neighborhood.
Considerations in this area are:
1. The product or report, itself, must stand on its
own and be substantial and believable.
2. The author of the report must come across well,
and without question bring with him or her the authority
of their experience and qualifications.
3. The author must be able and experienced in presenting
his report in public hearing, City Council meeting,
or courtroom situations.
In considering all of these factors, I settled on the individual
I believe would best handle this type of study: Peter J.
Patchin, of Peter J. Patchin and Associates, in Burnsville.
I have been acquainted with Mr. Patchin's work for many years,
and know him to be one of the foremost appraisers of special
purpose properties in the country. He also has extensive experience
in similar types of studies. For example, he has done studies
both for and against MNDOT on the impact of and benfits to
property values of highway sound barriers. Procedurally, I
would think our proposed study could be conducted in a similar
manner.
i
goil��
G. G. Splinter - 8/11/87 Page 2
It is expected that the cost for a comprehensive and wide - ranging
study to really find a supportable conclusion to the question
would be in the $10,000.00 to $15,000.00 range. It is further
expected that the lead time for such a study would be three
months.
If you wish to pursue this issue further, I would suggest
we meet with Mr. Patchin so you can describe the assignment,
at least in general terms, and evaluate Mr. Patchins' qualifications
and suitability for the project. I will set up such a meeting
upon your request.

M & C No. 88 -07
February 4, 1988
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: Minnesota Transportation Finance Study Commission Report
To the Honorable Mayor & City Council:
On Wednesday, February 3, 1988, I attended a meeting of the Transportation Finance
Study Commission at Spring Lake Park High School. This is a bipartisan commission of
members of the Senate and House of the Minnesota State Legislature, which is
assessing future highway and transit needs in the state, examining alternate revenue
sources, and making findings and recommendations to the Legislature by February 15,
1988. Attached please find a copy of the third draft of their report dated January
26, 1988.
This is not their final report, but it probably is very close to their final
recommendation and findings. In summarizing their report, they are recommending that
30% of the motor vehicle excise_ tax (MVET) be transferred from the state general
revenue fund to transportation related funding. They are also recommending a three
cents per gallon increase in the gasoline tax and again, this would be slated for
transportation improvement- -both maintenance and construction.
At their hearing at the Spring Lake Park High School, many local officials and
chamber of commerce representatives plus county officials, supported the motor
vehicle excise tax transfer and the three cents per gallon increase in the gas tax.
From the comments at the hearing, there were also requests that funding priority be
given to the north metro area as it represents a significant population area which
has not had its "fair share" of road improvement_ There were also statements which
supported the idea that if you are going to tax motor vehicles such as the motor
vehicle excise tax, all of the funding should go toward roads and transportation, not
just 30 %. A number of statements were made to the effect that the motoring public is
willing to pay for support of highways as long as those taxes from motor vehicle and
gas user fees are dedicated to highway improvement and maintenance. A number of
individuals testified that transportation is the basic structure of economic
development and that the _improvement and completion of State Highway lO bypass and
the 610 Crosstown is an absolute necessity for the continued vitality of the north
metro area.
The City Council may want to discuss directing the staff to inform the Transportation
Finance Study Commission of their support or opposition to their final report
findings and recommendations.

TRANSPORTATION FINANCE STUDY COMMISSION
FINAL REPORT
1
s '
L COMMISSION BACKGROUND
The Transportation Finance Study Commission was created as part of the Transportation and Semi- States
1988 -89 appropriation bill enacted in the 1987 legislative session. That legislation directed the
Commission to study-
I. Present and future highway- and transit needs.
2. The adequacy of existing revenue sources to meet those needs.
3. Methods of raising additional revenue.
4. Alternatives to raising revenue.
5. Alternative methods of distributing revenues among various levels of government.
The Commission was directed to report its findings and recommendations to the legislature by February
15, 1988.
The following members of the legislature were appointed to the Commission:
Senator Gary DeCramer Representative Doug Carlson
Senator Keith Langseth Representative Bob Jensen
Senator Marilyn Lantry Representative Henry Kalis
Senator Lyle Mehrkens Representative Bernie Lieder
Senator Clarence Purfeerst Representative Art Seaberg
At the Commission's first meeting Senator Purfeerst and Representative Kalis were selected to serve as
co- chairs.
II. COMMISSION ACTIVITIES
The Commission's first meeting was in the State Capitol and provided essential background on the
developments which had led to the Commission's creation. Rep. Bob Vanasek, Speaker of the House,
testified on the scope of the Commission's work, a subject also addressed in statements provided by
Senator Roger Moe, Senate majority leader, and Governor Rudy Perpich. Transportation Commissioner
Leonard Levine spoke on the changes which the Department of Transportation was forced to make as a
result of funding shortfalls after the 1987 legislative session. The next three meetings, also in the
Capitol, focused on state and local highway and transit needs and also heard a report on the Legislative
Auditor's study of county state -aid distribution.
The Commission then began a series of hearings at locations around the state in an attempt to obtain a
sense of what the public expected and demanded of the legislature in terms of transportation service and
willingness to finance that service. Meetings were held in Shakopee, Richfield, Two Harbors, Breezy
Point, Mankato, Marshall and Spring Lake Park. All these meetings were characterized by heavy
attendance (several to the point of capacity) and public testimony from more than 150 persons. While
the testimony covered a broad range of transportation subjects almost all of it spoke to the public's
awareness of the importance of transportation to the state's economic health.
The specific points brought out most frequently in these hearings may be summarized as follows:
1. The motoring public is willing to pay for the support of highways as long as it can be sure
that the money will actually go for highway improvements and maintenance.
Page 2
2. The motor vehicle excise tax (MVET) is a highway user tax and should be treated like other •
highway user taxes -- that is, dedicated to transportation.
3. Throughout the state people have been waiting many years for highway improvements and are
becoming impatient with what they see as endless delays.
4. In rural areas weight restrictions on highways are a serious impediment to economic growth
and add significantly to the costs borne by many segments of the economy, particularly those
related to agriculture and manufacturing.
5. Public transit is a subject of vital importance to a sizeable segment of the population, and
there is strong support among these people for expanded use of MVET funds for transit as well
as for highways.
6. Local elected officials are particularly appreciative of the local bridge bonding program and
hope it can be continued.
7. People generally believe that Minnesota's highways are in fundamentally good condition but that
they can and must be improved in areas of capacity and safety.
The Commission completed its work with an examination of the costs and benefits of credit financing for
highways, then began its consideration of its final report.
III. SCOPE OF THE COMMISSIONS WORK
The overall charge given to the Transportation F Study Commission was an extremely broad one.
If taken literally it would require several years of study, debate and public testimony to cover
adequately. Given the limited amount of time available to the Commission it was necessary for us to
concentrate primarily on the most pressing issues of transportation finance and to look specifically for
recommendations to be made to the 1988 legislative session. This meant that we have been unable to
formulate a plan for resolving transportation financing questions beyond the 1990 -91 biennium.
This decision was not made easily. One of the major problems facing transportation today is the fact
that many of its financing decisions have been made on a short -term basis which inhibits long -range
planning and leads to public confusion and frustration. To the public the practice of scheduling
highway projects and then cancelling them appears as bad management and bad planning when in fact it
is the inevitable result of short -term decision making. Nonetheless we determined that our first
responsibility in fulfilling the legislature's charge was to seek out the public's views on the kind of
transportation system it wants and is willing to pay for. This concentration on learning what the public
expects from the 1988 legislative session made it impracticable for us to conduct the kind of in -depth
hearings necessary to formulating a long -term proposal.
limitation v
Even with this tation we believe that the recommendations in this report will provide a foundation
on which a more permanent solution can be constructed.
IV. COMMISSION FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Commission believes that the most immediate transportation needs facing the 1988 legislative session
are:
(1) the restoration of the Minnesota Department of Transportation's highway improvement program
i
.' Page 3
for the 1988 -89 biennium to its level before the A ugust, 1987, P roject deferrals were
announced, and
(2) the restoration of the legislative policy of transferring a substantial portion of motor vehicle
excise tax revenues to highways and transit.
In both these areas the fundamental issue is one of commitment. The first responsibility of the
legislature in financing transportation should be to avoid retreating on the state's commitment to a
highway system adequate to sustain economic development in Minnesota and a transit system which
provides a basic level of mobility for a substantial portion of the state's people. Both those objectives
have been compromised by recent legislative actions. The reasons for those actions need not be debated
here, but we feel that it is now time for the legislature to resolve, or at least alleviate, the problems
raised by those actions. Only when the cutbacks of recent years in both highways and transit have
been addressed can the legislature begin seriously to restore its full commitment to an adequate
transportation system.
The magnitude of the cutbacks in the highway development program did not become fully apparent until
August, 1987, when the Department of Transportation announced that 36 highway projects with a total
cost of about $96 million, originally scheduled for contract letting during the 1988 -89 biennium, would be
indefinitely postponed These deferrals were made unavoidable when the 1987 legislature reduced from
50% to 5% the share of Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET) revenues going to transportation in this
biennium. This had the effect of reducing the Trunk Highway Fund's share of the MVET revenue from
about 23% to about 2 %, requiring a cutback in the highway improvement program. A failure to increase
the share of MVET revenue going to transportation in the 1990 -91 biennium beyond the 5% level (a 75%
level was provided in the original MVET transfer legislation) will necessitate another round of project
deferrals, amounting to approximately $150 million, in that biennium as well.
A return to the practice of dedicating a substantial portion of motor vehicle excise tax revenue to
highways and transit would also represent the restoration of a commitment. That transfer was
originally written into law in 1981, delayed until 1983, adopted only for fiscal 1985, suspended for the
1986 -1987 biennium and cut back to just 5% for fiscal 1988 and subsequent years. The public testimony
received during the Commission's hearings has clearly demonstrated that the public wants this dedication
restored and insists on it as a part of any highway financing package.
At a time when Minnesota is making major efforts to enhance economic development in all parts of the
state a transportation program which is characterized by reductions, delays and uncertainties is clearly
counterproductive. The first step toward making transportation part of the solution instead of part of
the problem must be to take major steps toward restoring the cutbacks of the past year. To help
accomplish this the Commission recommends the following actions:
Recommendation No 1 The share of Motor Vehicle Excise Tax revenues going to transportation should
be increased from the ,present 5% to 35%Q. beginaWg in fiscal year 1989.
As has been noted, many persons who testified before the Commission felt strongly that the excise tax
on motor vehicles is as much of a highway user tax as are the gasoline tax and motor vehicle license
taxes, and should be dedicated to highways just as those taxes are. We believe that this testimony is
representative of a sizeable portion of public opinion. The fact that many people believe that the MVET
was always dedicated to highways, and that the legislature in 1983 took it away from highways and has
refused to give it back, reflects not so much an erroneous view of the legislative history of MVET as a
deep- seated sense that an MVET dedication to highways is fair and equitable.
The Commission agrees with this public sense. Additional funds are needed if transportation is ever to
become a stimulus for economic development, and the excise tax must be an essential component of a
funding package. We recognize the strong feeling on the part of many members of the legislature that
Page 4
they cannot accept any transportation financing package which does not include a significant increase in
the share of MVET revenue going to transportation.
We further believe that both sound policy and the necessity of public acceptance of any funding package
require that the present division of MVET's transportation share between highways and transit (75% to
highways, 25% to transit) be retained.
The excise tax is of particular importance as the legislature is faced with proposals to reexamine
highway jurisdiction in Minnesota. Because it is free of constitutional requirements for its distribution
among state and local governments the excise tax is the only potential highway user tax with the
flexibility to finance transfers of highways among jurisdictions.
The additional 301 transfer would increase the total share of the excise tax going to transportation to
35 0 1o. The 30% figure was selected in order to keep the proposal within the realm of feasibility given
the fiscal realities facing the next legislative session and also to provide a rough parity in the total
package between MVET revenue and gasoline tax revenue.
Recommendation No 2 The state gasoline tax should be increased by three cents per gallon. effective
April 1. 1988.
The gasoline tax has been the foundation of state highway financing for over fifty years, and we
believe it is an essential part of any highway financing package in 1988 as well. The gasoline tax is
the one tax where payments for most taxpayers are most closely related to actual highway use, so that
it is widely viewed not simply as another tax but as part of the overall cost of motoring. As long as
the gasoline tax is dedicated solely to highway purposes it has widespread public acceptance, and we
believe that the public is willing to pay such a tax as the price of improving the highway system to
meet the demands of its users.
In increasing its gasoline tax (which has been unchanged since January 1, 1984) Minnesota would be
following a clear national trend which has seen eighteen states increase their gasoline taxes since
September 1, 1986. Among these states is Wisconsin, which in 1987 increased its tax to 20 cents per
gallon. We expect that a number of other states will adopt increases in 1988, including possibly Iowa
where the state Transportation Commission has proposed raising that state's 16 cent tax by three cents.
Table I shows the anticipated revenue from the Commission's transportation financing proposal. The
trunk highway share will be sufficient eventually to restore all the projects deferred from the current
biennium's highway improvement plan and avoid more than 80% of the probable deferrals in the next
biennium. While this package does not go as far as some of us would like in providing revenue for
state highways we feel that it is the largest highway funding package which can realistically be
presented to the legislature.
III fig. 17 The amount which the package will rats for statewide transit assistance over the next three years
is about .2 million, or an average of $18. million per year. It will be up to the legislature to
✓� 1 determine how much of this money will be used to augment present transit appropriations from the
general fund and how much will be used to replace those general fund appropriations.
While the Commission believes that this program will mark an end to a policy of retreat in the face of
transportation problems and a start toward a permanent solution, it is b no means a complete plan.
P P a
Pe Y P
There is a need for a long -range plan to define Minnesota's real transportation needs and to formulate
methods of meeting those needs, including long -term sources of financing. Our final recommendation
calls for a process for developing such a plan.
Recommendation No 3 The legislature should create a Transportation Study Board to Rrenare a done -
rance study of transportation needs and funding,

Such a board ought to consist of both legislators and a broad cross- section of the public, including
� P g
representatives of business, labor, manufacturing, agriculture, tourism and other major highway users. It
should be given sufficient time, staff and resources (including a directive to contract for consultant
services) to make a thorough study of transportation needs both today and over the next twenty years
and to develop a plan to meet those needs. Such a plan will necessarily be a compromise between the
desires of all highway users and the ability of the state to make those desires a reality, but it is hoped
that the board's studies will be aimed primarily at achieving a transportation system which will be a
positive force for encouraging economic development and expanding public mobility.
Specifically, we recommend that as part of its studies the board should consider the following broad
areas:
1. A review of current transportation expenditures and potential cost- saving measures.
2. A review of statewide surface transportation needs and of potential revenue sources to meet
those needs (this study should include a recommended transportation program to take Minnesota
in the twenty-first century, and recommendations on financing such a program).
3. Suggested methods of insuring that both metropolitan and non- metropolitan areas are treated
equitably in meeting transportation needs.
4. The feasibility of increased public- private partnership in the financing of major transportation
improvements, and the development of strategies to facilitate such partnerships.
More specific areas which the Board should study include:
1. The possible use of tolls for financing major highway improvements.
2. The costs and benefits of further borrowing to finance highway and bridge improvements.
3. The role of town roads in the state's overall road system and the appropriate level of state
highway user tax revenue which should go for town roads and bridges.
4. The possible restoration of the Minnesota Department of Transportation's exemption from the
state sales tax, and the exemption from the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax previously enjoyed by
both Mn /DOT and local units of government.
5. The use of wheelage taxes as a measure for financing local road and street improvements.
6. The desirability of amending the Minnesota Constitution to provide permanent dedication to
transportation purposes of some portion of MVET revenues.
7. The abandonment of the present per -gallon basis for the gasoline tax and its replacement by a
tax indexed to fuel consumption, fuel prices, construction or maintenance costs or some other
variable.
8. The feasibility and desirability of imposing a sales tax on motor fuel, either at the retail or
wholesale level.
9. The use of the State Transportation Plan as a mechanism for guiding future transportation
investment.

10. The role of transit in the overall state transportation picture and how transit is to be funded
in future years.
11. Changes in highway ownership to insure that highways are under the control of the most
appropriate jurisdiction
While the focus of the board's studies would be on transportation it is our intention that it consider
transportation spending within a broader context of overall state spending. The events of recent years
indicate that transportation spending, and particularly highway spending, can no longer be considered in
a vacuum apart from other state programs and commitments. The sooner such a broad context is
achieved the, more likely it is that the present uncertainties and policy shifts can be replaced by the
funding stability needed to carry out any long -range plan.
