The Council next considered a Special Use Permit time extension relative
to Planning Commission Application No. 69022 submitted by Iten Chevrolet. The
Special Use Permit authorized the placement of a mobile home trailer on the
premises of Iten Chevrolet to serve as a temporary truck sales office. The Special
Use Permit was originally granted by the City Council on April 15, 1969 to expire
on October 31, 1969. It was re- extended by the City Council on November 14,
1969 until July 1, 1970. The property is located at 6701 Osseo Road.
The City Manager reviewed the application stating that the Planning
Commission at its July 30, 1970 meeting recommended that the Council extend
the Special Use Permit nine months from July 1, 1970 to April 1, 1971.
Motion by Theodore Willard and seconded by Vernon Ausen that Application
No. 69022 requesting an extension of a Special Use Permit for the placement of
a mobile home trailer on the premises of Iten Chevrolet be extended nine months
from July 1, 1970 to April 1, 1971 and that the trailer be removed from the
premises by that date. Voting in favor were: Philip Cohen, John Leary, Vernon

Manager commented that the applicant has not installed 11 - 6 +1 diameter trees
along Bryant Avenue North and a minor amount of sodding around the tennis courts.
He recommended to the Council that the bond be reduced from $15,000 to $2,500.
Motion by Howard Heck and seconded by John Leary to reduce the Performance
Bond for the Chippewa Park Apc-rtmerits (6509 Camden Avenue North, Planning
Commission Application No. 68041) from $15, 000 to $2, 5 00. Voting in favor

The Council next considered the requested vacation of Irving Avenue North
in Hellsted Addition in conjunction with Planning Commission Application No. 70015
submitted by R. L. Ernst on behalf of Krause- Anderson Company. This application
was considered by the Council on July 27, 1970, at which time the City Manager
was directed to prepare a draft ordinance vacating Irving Avenue North within the
Hellsted Addition.
Since the last meeting the City received a letter from the applicant stating
that he has been able to revise their site plan and to assign an additional 2,750
square feet to the apartment development. At this time the applicant, Mr. R. L.
Ernst, commented that the proposed site and building plans for the convienience
store have been revised for smaller buildings and that additional property has
been purchased in order to meet the land deficiency and that the entire parcel
would be replatted if Irving Avenue is vacated.
Council and staff next discussed the ramifications of the requested street
vacation. The City Attorney commented that if the Council vacates a street it
cannot be construed as an intent of the City Council to rezone said area.
Councilman Heck stated that in the past the Council has vacated a street for a
specific reason. Following a discussion and a consensus of the Councilmen not
to act on the street vacation until after considering the rezoning request, Mr.
R. L. Ernst agreed to tabling his Application No. 70015 until the August 31, 1970
meeting.
Motion by Howard Heck and seconded by Theodore Willard to table Planning
Commission Application No. 70015 requesting rezoning from R -5 to C -2 the north
163 feet of Lot 2, Block 1, Hellsted Addition together with 163 feet of Irving
Avenue North to be vacated. Voting in favor were: Philip Cohen, John Leary,
Vernon Ausen, Howard Heck, and Theodore Willard. Voting against were: none.
Motion carried unanimously.
The City Manager next introduced the subject of proposed sewer rate
reductions for the elderly as initially proposed by Mayor Cohen. The City Manager
reviewed the Roseville experience in this regard and reviewed with the Council
the impending need to increase Brooklyn Center's sanitary sewer rates due to
vastly increased disposal costs levied by the Metropolitan Sewer Board. He
suggested that the matters of a general sewer rate increase and a sewer rate decrease
for the elderly be considered simultaneously in the near future. Councilman Willard
suggested that the Council consider the possibilities of providing further relief
for the elderly by deferring improvement assessments or possibly the interest
thereon. A discussion ensued wherein each Councilman expressed views
relative to the concept of relief for the elderly. Councilman Ausen suggested
that perhaps the criteria for relief should relate to minimum level of income rather
than age. It was the concensus of the Council to instruct the staff to examine
the financial and legal ramifications of providing relief from improvement
assessment burdens.
The City Manager next discussed with the Council the matter of establishing
a date and meeting place in order to review the Brooklyn Center Industrial Park
Planning report by Midwest Planning and Research. He stated that the meeting is
lntendddtoinvolve the City Council and certain staff, the Planning Commission,
members of the Brooklyn Center School Board, industrial park developer and his
staff, and the press. A dinner meeting was tentatively scheduled for August 14,
1970 at 6 :00 P.M.
The City Manager and Council next discussed the need to obtain the services
of an interior consultant for the Civic Center interior planning. Motion by
John Leary and seconded by Theodore Willard to authorize the City Manager to
negotiate a proposal from Westburg- Krause, Associates, Inc. for the interior
design and color planning for the Civic Center. Voting in favor were: Philip
Cohen, John Leary, Vernon Ausen, Howard Heck, and Theodore j Villard. Voting
against were: none. Motion carried unanimously.

The City Manager next discussed with the Council the covered ice /shelter
building proposal which was part of the Capital Improvement Program approved by
the voters in the November 1968 Bond Referendum. He stated that Cerny Associates
had furnished an economic analysis which indicated a prefabricated metal building
would cost approximately $137,000, a shop fabricated custom metal building
would cost approximately $139,000, and a laminated wood arch and wood deck
building would cost approximately $153,000. In addition, enclosed toilet facilities
would add approximately $10, 000 to each such structure. It was pointed out that
$82,000 had been reserved in the Parks Capital Projects budget for the construction
of such a building and that obviously additional funds would be required to con -
struct the building at this time. It was also stated that approximately $175,,000
of the $413, 000 Park Capital Improvement budget remains unspent or unencumbered.
However, a priority schedule recommended by the Park and Recreation Commission
adopted by the City Council dated February 17, 1969 included the construction of
tennis courts, paving of walkways and activity areas, installation of park benches,
Installation of wading pools, etc. (during this discussion, Councilman Willard
left at 11 :45 P. M.),
A discussion ensued relative to the priority of the covered ice /shelter building
and its relationship to other priority items previously established. It was con-
cluded that the City Manager should cause the matter to be placed on an early
agenda of the Park and Recreation Commission to consider re- examination of the
remaining priority items in the Park Capital Improvements budget and to closely
scrutinize the relative priority of the proposed covered ice /shelter building.
Motion by Vernon Ausen and seconded by John Leary to defer action on
tennis courts for Grandview and Kylawn Parks and to refer such proposals back to
the Park and Recreation Commission for inclusion in the priority evaluation of the
remainder of the Park Capital Projects Program. Voting in favor were: Philip Cohen,
John Leary, Vernon Ausen and Howard Heck. Voting against were: none. Motion
carried unanimously,
The Council next considered Planning Commission Application No. 70017
originally submitted by Glad and Miller and now by Viewcon, Inc. requesting
site and building plan approval, consistent with rezoning Application No. 68018.
The City Council approved loth Applications No. 70017 and 68018 at its May 25,
1970 Council meeting. Application No. 70017 originally requested site and
building plan approval for a 99 unit apartment building. The present request by
Viewcon, Inc, is for approval of an additional 25 apartment units for a total
of 124 units versus the Glad and Miller proposed 99 apartment units. This
property is bounded by T. H. #100, Lakeside Avenue and Lower Twin Lakes, The
City Manager reviewed this application, and together with the applicants,
Mr. Charles Van Eeckhout and Mr. Darrel Farr, discussed with the City Council
the revised site and building plans for the apartment complex. During the discussion
Mayor Cohen suggested that the applicants submit site and building plans for the
garage showing elevations and screening.
Following this discussion a motion was made by Howard Heck and seconded
by John Leary to approve the revised Planning Commission Application No. 70017
submitted by Viewcon, Inc. requesting site and building plan approval for a
124 unit apartment development, subject to the following:
1. That in the future, if direct access to T.H. #100 at Indiana Avenue
is shut off, that a substitute access to T.H. #100 be provided by a
new street to be located between Azelia Avenue and France Avenue
and meeting Lakebreeze Avenue;
2. Building plans are subject to the approval of the Building Inspector
with respect to applicable building codes;
3. Utilities and drainage and elevation plans are subject to the
approval of the City Engineer prior to issuance of the building permit;

r
S. Landscape planting schedule must be presented Indicating adequate
plantings on the northern part of subject property along Lakeside
Avenue;
+ 6. That the property must be platted;
