The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Gene Lhotka, and the motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager presented a Resolution Approving Preliminary Layout Plan for
Improvement of County Road 10 between Northway Drive and Shingle Creek Parkway.
The Director of Public Works stated the City Council requested Hennepin County
to consider this project as a high priority improvement for 1987. He noted the
County recently contacted City staff regarding a layout plan and proposed
improvement project. He noted this proposed plan was for the construction of a
double turn lane beginning at Northway Drive eastward to Shingle Creek Parkway.
He noted the County's current plan is to replace the existing bridge across
Shingle Creek with a triple box culvert which would be continuous across the
entire width of County Road 10, including the area where the City's existing
pedestrian /water main bridge is located. He briefly reviewed the four reasons
why staff feels it is desirable to use culverts to replace the bridge.
The Director of Public Works went on to review some slides which showed the end
wall and railing design alternative. He added the City would be working with
Northern States Power for an estimate on moving the distribution line from the
center median. He noted at this time it appears it may cost approximately
$60,000. Councilmember Lhotka inquired if that would be a City cost or if NSP
would pay for this. The Director of Public Works stated this cost would have to
be paid by the City. Councilmember Lhotka inquired why the distribution lines
would be put underground. The Director of Public Works stated it would be for
aesthetic reasons only.
10 -5 -87 -3-
The Director of Public Works went on to review the estimated costs to the City
and the time requirements for construction. He stated staff believes it would
be best to carry traffic through the project via a series of temporary bypasses,
even though it would mean an additional cost and extended construction time.
A brief discussion then ensued regarding the existing water main and its
location beneath the pedestrian bridge. Other alternatives were reviewed for
this portion of the project, and Councilmember Lhotka inquired as to the
condition of the existing pedestrian bridge. The Director of Public Works noted
that structurally the bridge is very sound but it creates a handicap
obstruction. He noted the grade is too steep for it to be handicap accessible.
Councilmember Lhotka inquired when this proposed improvement has to be approved
by the City Council. The Director of Public Works stated it would be possible
to hold this item over until the October 26, 1987, City Council meeting. He
pointed out the fact that he has recently been notified there is some discussion
about delaying this project to a later date due to a shortage of funding.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Scott
to table the Resolution Approving Preliminary Layout Plan for Improvement of
County Road 10 between Northway Drive and Shingle Creek Parkway until the
October 26, 1987, City Council meeting. The motion passed unanimously.

sheet with those minutes. He noted most of the rental cars would be delivered
throughout the twin city metro area. He stated the applicant does not intend to
have a large number of cars on site and noted most likely there would be between
five and eight cars on the site. He went on to review the revised parking plan
and noted staff foresees no major parking problem on the site with the retail
operation within the building being discontinued. He noted the Planning
Commission recommended approval of this item subject to three conditions which
he reviewed for the Council. He stated a public hearing has been scheduled for

The Director of Public Works stated he would like to point out in the proposed

PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS (CONTINUED)
PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 87012 SUBMITTED BY BILL KELLY HOUSE
REQUESTING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO OPERATE A RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT FACILITY FOR
MENTALLY ILL AND CHEMICALLY DEPENDENT ADULTS AT 5240 DREW AVENUE NORTH
The City Manager noted this item was originally considered by the Planning
Commission at its July 16, 1987, meeting and tabled. It was also considered and
tabled by the Commission at their August 13, 1987, meeting. He added this item
was recommended for denial by the Planning Commission at its September 3, 1987,
meeting. A public hearing was then opened at the September 14, 1987, City
Council meeting and continued to this evening's meeting. Mayor Nyquist noted
that a number of questions and concerns had been raised by the City Council at
the September 14, 1987, City Council meeting, and he asked the City Manager to
review these questions and concerns and the answers he had received. The City
Manager then gave a brief review of all the questions and concerns raised and
the answers which he had received.
Mayor Nyquist noted in the September 22, 1987, letter from Mr. Phillips to the
City Attorney, there are several distortions, one of them being the statement
that he flatly refused to meet with Mr. Phillips' clients. He noted there are
other concerns with materials submitted by the applicant regarding the questions
and concerns
from the September 14, 1987, City Council meeting. He noted that
Mr. Bamberry, manager of Rule 36 programs in the mental health division of the
Department of Human Services, has stated that clients do not have to be
chemically dependent to be involved in Rule 36 program. However, the
applicants' admission requirements state that a client must have chemical
dependency problems. He stated after reviewing all materials submitted,
10 -5 -87 -7-
I
especially with regard to the critical issues such as property values, there is
actually no evidence regarding this particular application. He noted most
studies regarding property values are for residences with less clients than the
one being proposed and also for residences where there are no chemical
dependency problems. He stated he does not see the relevance of these studies
to this particular case.
Councilmember Hawes inquired if the mentally ill are held legally responsible
for their actions, and if they are not held responsible, who is. Councilmember
Scott stated she has some concerns regarding the admission criteria especially
with regard to item A where it states the applicant must have a dual diagnosis
of mental illness and chemical dependency /chemical abuse. She noted under the
discharge criteria it is noted residents may also be transferred for violence
toward others, suicide attempts, physical health, etc. Councilmember Theis
stated the intent of the legislature is very unclear in this matter. He noted
the City is mandated to allow facilities for up to 16 residents without adding
any conditions. He noted it leaves the City in a gray area when it comes to
facilities for up to 23 residents. He stated he would like the staff and Bill
Kelly House representatives to have negotiations working towards acceptable
conditions for the special use permit. Councilmember Lhotka inquired of the
applicant their opinion of the suggested conditions. The City Manager read the
list of suggested conditions for the applicants and the audience.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Susan Lentz, attorney with the Legal Aid Society of
Minneapolis. She stated some of the suggested conditions would be acceptable to
the applicant, some suggested conditions need modifications, and other ones
would be considered totally unacceptable. She went on to briefly review the
conditions which the applicant would have problems agreeing to. Mayor Nyquist
inquired if the Bill Kelly program can turn down referrals from the criminal
justice system. Mr. Henry Norton stated these type of referrals can be turned
down.
Councilmember Theis stated he would like to place conditions on the special use
permit which would tie the applicant to the program which they have presented to
the City. He inquired of the City Manager what the time frame was for approval
or denial of this application. The City Manager stated the deadline is
approximately October 23 or October 24, 1987. Councilmember Lhotka inquired if
the time period can be interrupted if it is agreed to by both parties. The City
Manager stated the time period could be extended if both parties agree, or the
other alternative would be to place a moratorium on the issue. A brief
discussion then ensued regarding the moratorium issue, and the City Attorney
stated it now appears the moratorium issue may need only a simple majority to
pass instead of the four to one vote which was previously noted. He stated he
would like to investigate this further. He noted the other alternative to a
moratorium would be simply to not act on the issue at all before the time clock
runs out. He stated in doing so the court could not compel the City to approve
the application only to act upon the application. He added the moratorium
resolution would become effective immediately and would stop the time clock.
i
Ms. Lentz stated she and Mr. Phillips had contacted the City Attorney several
times regarding meeting to discuss the suggested conditions. She noted no
meeting was ever held but that she was willing to meet with the City Attorney
i
10 -5 -87 -8-
tonight, tomorrow, or whenever possible to discuss the suggested conditions.
She added that she and the Bill Kelly House representatives would like to
resolve this matter in an amicable fashion but are prepared to do whatever is
necessary to resolve this issue in a timely fashion. Councilmember Theis stated
there have been a number of conflicting statements regarding this application
and noted he cannot act on something that is still up in the air. He stated he
does not feel a moratorium is a denial of the application, but it would only be
used to allow the Council more time to distinguish answers to all questions. He
added that he is not advocating a moratorium at this time.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Felix Phillips, attorney for the applicant. Mr.
Phillips stated he had two witnesses which he would like to speak before the
City Council adjourned. Mayor Nyquist inquired what type of questions Mr.
Phillips would be asking of these people. Mr. Phillips stated he would be
asking their medical opinions regarding clients and the difference between
mentally ill residents and other residents. Mr. Phillips then introduced
Hillary Sandahl, staff psychiatrist for the Hennepin County Medical Center. She
stated she has been referring clients to the Bill Kelly House since May of 1985.
She noted she would state without hesitation there is no reason for anyone to be
afraid of the Bill Kelly House residents. She noted most mentally ill people
feel they are safer when they live in a supervised environment. She stated 20%
of the mentally ill patients she sees are involved with chemical dependency.
She added that generally chemical dependency is a sign of mental illness. Mr.
Phillips pointed out the Northwest Residence also has residents who are
chemically dependent. Councilmember Theis inquired why the admissions policy
for Bill Kelly House states the clients must have a chemical dependency problem.
Ms. Sandahl stated she was not the correct person to answer that question but
that she would assume it is because they are a specialized facility.
Councilmember Hawes inquired if the residents are held accountable for their
actions.
Councilmember Lhotka left the table at 10 :02 p.m.
Ms. Sandahl stated she would assume the residents would be held legally
accountable for their actions. Councilmember Hawes inquired if the residents
would be able to determine the appropriate type of behavior required of them
when facing a situation of harassment.
Councilmember Lhotka returned to the table at 10:04 p.m.
Ms. Sandahl stated she would assume they would be able to handle the situation
properly.
Mr. Phillips then introduced Martha Shipp, from Hennepin County, and noted that
Ms. Shipp handles the funding for Rule 36 programs. Councilmember Scott
inquired if this department actually investigates the facilities or if they only
authorize the funding for the facilities. Ms. Shipp stated there are four site
visits per year. She noted her department also receives reports from other
licensing agencies such as the fire marshal, health department, and building
inspector. Councilmember Scott inquired if the four site visits a year were
announced visits. Ms. Shipp stated they make both announced and unannounced
10 -5 -87 -9-
r
visits to the facilities. Councilmember Lhotka inquired what her department
would look for when going out to the facilities. Ms. Shipp stated her
department monitors the contract requirements to ensure that the facility is
running according to the contract. Councilmember Theis inquired if Ms. Shipp
was involved with the decision regarding the number of residents for this
facility. Ms. Shipp stated she was on staff but that Rule 36 states a facility
may have 25 or less clients.
A discussion then ensued regarding the conditions which could be placed on the
special use permit, and it was noted the conditions would have to be consistent
with State and County regulations and guidelines. Ms. Lentz stated payment of
the attorney's fees were recently awarded in the Fridley case. She noted that
denial of this permit is also a denial of human, constitutional and statutory
rights. Councilmember Theis stated he does not feel that a moratorium is a
denial of constitutional or statutory rights. Mr. Phillips stated he believes
he and his client have presented everything which is possible to allow the
Council to make a decision. Councilmember Hawes inquired if this issue were to
go to court, and the City were to win the case, could the City collect the
attorney's fees from the applicant. The City Attorney stated it would be very
extraordinary if the attorney's fees were awarded to the City and that he would
not expect this to happen.
Mayor Nyquist inquired if the Council votes on the moratorium issue, should the
public hearing be closed. The City Attorney stated there are not any ground
rules pertaining to the Mayor's question but added he could see little reason to
close the public hearing.
Councilmember Theis inquired if when the original ordinance was adopted did it
address these types of uses. The City Attorney stated he was not with the City
when the original ordinance was adopted, however, he noted the original
ordinance does address boarding care facilities. Councilmember Theis inquired
if the ordinance could be made clearer. The City Attorney stated the ordinance
could be more clear, but all facilities would have to be reviewed in order to
point to areas that need clarification. The City Manager stated there is no
doubt that there are inconsistencies within the original ordinance. He noted
regardless of the action taken on this particular application, he would
recommend review of this ordinance.
Councilmember Theis stated unless there is more input from the audience he would
like the applicant to work with City staff on conditions that are acceptable to
all parties involved. He suggested the Council should also take the first step
towards the moratorium in case an agreement cannot be reached. A brief
discussion then ensued regarding the suggested conditions.
There was a motion by Councilmember Theis and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka
directing staff to work with the applicant regarding conditions for the proposed
special use permit and to allow residents in the area to respond to the
suggested conditions.
Mayor Nyquist inquired if the applicant would be willing to extend the time
period by four days. Mr. Phillips stated Mr. Norton will agree to the four day
extension if it will allow for this issue to be completed.

Upon vote being taken on the foregoing motion, the motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Nyquist inquired what the Council's position was on the moratorium issue.
Councilmember Theis inquired if it is necessary to pass the moratorium issue
since a four day extension has been agreed upon. The City Attorney stated it is
not absolutely necessary to pass the moratorium issue this evening, but a first
reading could be held on the moratorium ordinance to hold all options open for
the City. Councilmember Theis stated he is not advocating a moratorium, but he
would like to hold all options open for the City.
There was a motion by Councilmember Theis and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to
approve for first reading An Interim Ordinance for the Purpose of Protecting the
Planning Process and the Health, Safety, and Welfare of the Residents of the
Community, and Regulating and Restricting the Development of Adult Halfway
Houses, Community -Based Residential Facilities, and Similar Uses within the
City. The motion passed unanimously.
REQUEST FOR AN EXECUTIVE SESSION OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO COVER LESCAULT VS CITY
OF BROOKLYN CENTER LAWSUIT AND LOCAL 49 LOCAL ISSUES NEGOTIATIONS
The City Manager noted staff is requesting an executive session to discuss the
Lescault lawsuit and the Local 49 issues negotiations.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Theis
to hold an executive session of the City Council to cover Lescault vs. City of
Brooklyn Center lawsuit and Local 49 issues negotiations following adjournment
of the City Council meeting. The motion passed unanimously.
OTHER BUSINESS
The City Manager stated the Council has before them a request to authorize
vacation accrual of three weeks, and a 96 hour block of sick leave for the

DATE: October 22, 1987
RE: County Road 10 Improvements
In response to questions raised by City Council members at the 10/5/87 Council
meeting, the following information is provided:
Issue No. 1 Could the scope of the project be reduced, so as to simply widen
the existing bridge for Eastbound traffic so as to provide the
additional left turn lane (instead of removing both bridges and
replacing them with a triple box culvert)?
Response Yes, this could be done. However, the decks on both
bridges are in poor condition, so that both bridges need to be
upgraded within the next few years. Also, the continuing use of
bridges will place definite limitations on the County's ability to
make future geometric improvements to the roadway, whereas the
construction of the box culverts allows much greater flexibility
in geometric design of the roadway. In addition, the long -term
maintenance costs of the culverts would be substantially lower
than they would be for bridges. For these reasons, the Hennepin
County Department of Transportation has proposed the use of the
culverts.
Finally, it should be noted that while the current proposal would
interfere with traffic movement during the 3 to 4 month
construction period, this would be the only major traffic
interference to be expected on this portion of CSAH 10 for the
foreseeable future. If, alternatively, the improvements are made
on a piecemeal basis (i.e. - bridge widening, bridge deck
replacement, other geometric improvements), the overall impact on
traffic would be significantly greater.
For all of these reasons, City staff recommends that the box
culvert proposal be approved.
Yv
County Road 10 Improvements
October 22, 1987
Page two
Issue No. 2 Could the box culverts be installed under County Road 10, leaving
the existing pedestrian bridge undisturbed?
Response: If the "end wall and railing" design for the box
culvert installation were chosen, there would be little problem in
leaving the pedestrian bridge in place.
However, if the conventional tapered -end box culvert design is
chosen, there is not enough room between the roadway and the
existing pedestrian bridge to allow installation of the tapered
end. (The distance between the existing bridges is 15 feet. The
width required for installation of a tapered end section including
the shoulder width required adjacent to the roadway is 35 feet).
Issue No. 3 What is the cost estimate for modifying the existing pedestrian
bridge to meet handicap standards?
Response: $12,500.00
Issue No. 4 What is the cost estimate for relocation of the watermain
as required if the proposed culverts are installed? Could the
watermain be relocated over the top of the culverts, instead of
below the culverts? And, what are the cost advantages and
disadvantages of over vs under?
Response: See attached report from Bo Spurrier. He estimates the
costs are $32,700 if the watermain is placed over the culverts,
and that the costs are $34,000 if the watermain is placed under
the culverts. Bo also discusses the "trade- offs" of both
alternates. While either alternate is acceptable, we recommend
that the watermain be placed under the culvert because we believe
this to be a "safer" location.
Issue No. 5 Could the existing pedestrian bridge be salvaged and reused
somewhere else in the City's trailway system?
Response: Yes. While we have not yet identified a specific
location where we would recommend that it be used, this bridge is
structurally sound and could very probably be incorporated
somewhere into our system.
Issue No. 6 Will the City ever need to construct a sidewalk along the South
side of County Road 10 between Shingle Creek Parkway and Xerxes
Avenue?
Response: A review of the public sidewalk system in this area
(see attached map) would indicate this is a "missing link" since
public sidewalks exist on the South side of C.R. 10 both Easterly
from Shingle Creek Parkway and Westerly of Xerxes Avenue.
County Road 10 Improvements
October 22, 1987
Page three
However, a review of the City's 1971 Sidewalk Network Plan (copy
attached) shows that this segment was deliberately left out of the
plan.
A review of the current physical configuration of the Brookdale
Shopping Center (see aerial photo attached) indicates there is no
specific "destination" for pedestrians along the South side of
C.R. 10 between Shingle Creek Parkway and Xerxes Avenue; and there
is no sidewalk system within Brookdale which would connect to a
sidewalk along C.R. 10.
Accordingly, it appears that the only two reasons for future
construction of a sidewalk in this area are:
(1) - to provide a continuous path for the few pedestrians who
want to walk this route i.e. - along the Southside of C.R. 10 from
East of T.H. 100 to West of Xerxes Avenue
and /or (2) to provide a pedestrian walkway to a "detached" facility
which could possibly be constructed in what is now the Northerly
edge of Brookdale's parking lot.
Since the cost of extending the culvert Southerly far enough to
allow future construction of a sidewalk is estimated at $10,000;
since the need for this facility is very speculative; and since
other "creative" solutions could be developed in the future if a
need develops; we recommend that this option be rejected at this
time.
Issue No. 7 Should the City request that an "endwall and railing design" be
used on the North end of the proposed culverts, at an estimated
cost (to the City) of $100,000 to $150,000, in lieu of the
conventional tapered -end section?
Response: Slides showing comparable structures using both designs
were shown at the 10/5/87 City Council meeting.
It is my opinion that the conventional tapered -end section can be
made aesthetically pleasing with a minimum expenditure in
landscaping materials. Accordingly, I recommend that the City
decline this offer.
Issue No. 8 What funding sources would be used to pay for the City's share of
project costs?
Response It is recommended that the costs for relocation of the
watermain (estimated cost = $34,000) be charged to the City's
Public Utility fund.
County Road 10 Improvements
October 22, 1987
Page four
It is recommended that all other City costs relating to this
project be charged to the local Municipal State Aid Street fund.
Based on the above recommendations, these costs are summarized as
follows:
Removal of existing pedestrian bridge
(same cost estimate, whether or not this
bridge is salvaged for possible future
use by the City) _ $ 3,000.00
Culvert extension on Northside to
accommodate sidewalk = 10,000.00
Construction of new sidewalk along
Northside = 5.000.00
Estimated Total Costs to Municipal State
Aid Fund = $18,000.00
Issue No. 9 Should the City consider placing the electrical distribution lines
underground at an estimated cost of $60,000?
Response: This is an aesthetic consideration. If the Council
wishes staff to pursue this matter further, it could be considered
on the basis of using local Municipal State Aid Street funds, or
on the basis of levying special assessments to abutting
properties, or a combination of these funding sources.
Issue No. 10 Should the City consider installing landscape improvements on the
center island of County Road 10?
Response: Again, this is an aesthetic consideration. And the
possible sources of funding again include the use of local MSA
funds, use of special assessments, or a combination thereof.
Recommendation:
The attached resolution is submitted for consideration by the City Council.
Adoption of this resolution is recommended so as to advise Hennepin County that
the City wishes them to proceed with the project and that the City approves the
proposed design. No final commitment is made by the City until and unless a
Cooperative Agreement is prepared by H.C.D.O.T. and approved by the City Council.
Regarding the issues of "undergrounding" the electrical distribution lines and
of landscaping the center island, we request direction from the City Council.

DATE: October 13, 1987
RE: Watermain Relocation CSAH 10 at Shingle Creek
I have analyzed two alternatives for relocating the 16" watermain to facilitate
bridge replacement at CSAH 10 and Shingle Creek. Alternative 1 is an
alignment over the proposed culvert and Alternative 2 is an alignment under
the proposed culvert. In preparing that analysis I have checked the physical
feasibility of the
y relocation, determined the general alignment that must be
followed, estimated the cost of the relocation, listed the advantages and
disadvantages of each alignment and recommended the most desirable alternative.
Alternate 1 - Relocation Over the Proposed Box Culvert
Tabulated below is the vertical section required to accommodate the relocation
over the proposed structure.
Section Required Over Box Culvert
Pipe OD (including bell) 23.2 inches
Insulation 8.0 inches
Casing pipe 2.0 inches
Structure clearance (Minimum) 6.0 inches
TOTAL 39.2 inches = 3.27 feet
If the watermain is relocated over the proposed box culvert the grade of
the sidewalk must be raised slightly to accommodate the pipe zone needed
by the watermain.
Regardless of which alternative is selected, approximately 165 lineal feet of 16
inch watermain must be reconstructed. In the case of the relocation over the
box culvert, 165 lineal feet is required for the construction of thrust
restraint and insulation.
Protection from frost is a primary concern for the relocation over the box
culvert. All 165 lineal feet of the relocation must be insulated in order to
protect the pipe. Additional protection in the form of a metal jacket
over the insulation is required for approximately 95 lineal feet to prevent
inadvertent damage due to other utility work in the vicinity of the watermain.

Subtotal $25,800.00
Contingency 15% 3,900.00
Total Construction $29,700.00
Technical Services 2,700.00
Administration 300.00
Total $32,700.00
Alternative 2 - Relocation Under the Proposed Box Culvert
Tabulated below is the vertical section required to accommodate the relocation
under the proposed structure.
Section Under Proposed Box Culvert
Casing pipe 30.0 inches
Structure clearance 10.0 inches
TOTAL 40.0 inches = 3.33 feet
If the watermain was located under the proposed box culvert the section
available is unlimited and this would not be a concern. In the case of the
relocation under the box culvert the same 165 lineal feet of relocation is
required. In this case it is required in order to accommodate a grade change.
It is proposed that the watermain be installed in a casing pipe under the box
culvert in case the line would ever leak or ever need maintenance or
replacement.

3 Remove & Reconstruct 16" 165 LF $ 75.00 12,375.00
4 Blow off Hydrant 1 EA $1,750.00 1,750.00
5 Casing Pipe 55 LF $ 35.00 1,925.00
6 Dewatering 1 LF $6,800.00 6.800.00
Subtotal $26,850.00
Contingency 15% 4.050.00
Total Construction $30,900.00
Technical Services 2,830.00
Administration 270.00
Total $34,000.00
Discussion:
Relocation over the box culvert would be subject to frost heave and could
be subject to damage by utility contractors working in the vicinity of the
watermain. As a technical matter, the thrust restraint required for relocation
over the box culvert is more difficult to install but is feasible.
Relocation under the box culvert has poor accessibility primarily due to the water
table and has a slightly higher estimated cost.
The cost of the two relocation alternatives is very close. Relocation over
the box culverts provides a stable alignment at a slightly lower cost and is a
readily accessible alignment. Relocation under the box culvert is actually the
most stable alignment and is in the most secure location due primarily to
potential frost problems above and below the watermain.
Conclusion and Recommendation:
Since the cost difference between the two relocation alternatives is small and
accessibility is not a serious problem because the pipe has an expected life of
more than 100 years, I would therefore recommend selecting the alternative of
relocating the watermain under the box culvert.

RE: Fuel System at Centerbrook Golf Course
One item which was not included in the general contract for construction of the
golf course was the installation of a fuel system at the Maintenance Building
which is located adjacent to fairway No. 5. This was a deliberate decision - to
allow the golf course to be built first, then to proceed with installation of
this system when it could be determined where to place the fuel tanks and fuel
pumps. Also, this allows the City to deal directly with the installer, rather
than a general contractor.
Two quotations have now been received for this installation, i.e.:
Total Cost For
Furnishing and Installing
Supplier /Installer Fuel System
Northwest Service Station Equipment Co. $8,380.00
Determan Welding and Tank Service Co. $12,500.00
Both proposals cover the furnishing and installation of two 560 - gallon
underground tanks (to allow the use of two different types of fuel - for the
various pieces of equipment which will be used at the golf course), one
dispenser with dual pumps, and all appurtenant work, to provide a complete,
operable system.
I recommend that the City Council award the contract for this work to the low
bidder. A resolution for this purpose is provided for consideration by the City
Council.
Adequate funds to cover these costs have been included in the golf course
project budget.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Brad Hoffman, HRA Coordinator
DATE: October 13, 1987
SUBJECT: Recycling
As the Council is aware, the 1985 state legislature mandated that
metro area landfills not accept solid waste materials from any
municipality unless it has first been processed through a
resource recovery facility. In response to the state law,
Hennepin County passed an ordinance (No. 13) requiring each
municipality to enact such ordinances as necessary to achieve a
16 percent reduction in solid wastes by the year 1990.
Last year, the City entered into a joint powers agreement with
Brooklyn Park to establish a recycling center operated by
Goodwill Industries. It is the intent of the program to provide
residents with a place to bring recyclable materials, such as
glass, paper, and metals. The current site is located in the
parking lot at Conn -Co Shoes (old Cub Foods building) in Brooklyn
Park. As noted in Tom Heenan's memo, Brooklyn Center should
anticipate that the Goodwill site will recover one to two percent
of the City's solid waste. Currently, the site does not even
approach the one percent mark. Obviously, the City will have to
take other actions to meet the 16 percent requirement.
By January 1, 1988, the City is supposed to have a program
implemented that will lead to the required 16 percent solid waste
reduction. The cost of not developing a program in Brooklyn
Center would have the County establish a source separation site
in Brooklyn Center and sorting refuse after it is collected. The
cost would be passed on to the residents.
As an alternative, the City might want to consider a program
organizing haulers. Brooklyn Center would require the haulers to
form a cooperative hauling system. Each hauler would receive a
territory based upon the number of contracts they hold in the
City. Some benefits to this concept should include a reduction
in hauling costs because each hauler is collecting from everyone
on a given block and less heavy truck traffic on our streets. In
conjunction with organizing the haulers, it would be necessary to
establish an ordinance mandating residents to separate their
trash. A model ordinance is attached for your review.
Obviously, this is an area of concern that transcends municipal
boundaries and yet will have a significant impact locally. I
would propose that the Council call a public hearing for the
second meeting in November to consider a resolution to organize
the haulers.
M E M O R A N D U M
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Tom Heenan, Supervising Sanitarian
DATE: October 6, 1987
SUBJECT: Organized Collection and Recycling
During the past year we have been studying the subject of
recycling and have worked to initiate a recycling program. We
have contracted for the Goodwill Attended Donation Center at
Conco Shoes.
Although we have various recycling programs in place that will
recycle an estimated one to two percent of Brooklyn Center's
waste in 1987, we have a oblem. That problem is the mandate
P
laced on
p us b Hennepin which Y Count states that we must be
P Y
recycling 16 percent of all our waste by 1990.
Hennepin County will fund recyclin g programs ro rams that cities initiate
according to the following lowing schedule:
- -50% of net project expenditures for programs recycling 0 -5%
60, of net project expenditures for programs recycling 5 -100
--70% of net project expenditures for programs recycling 10 -16%
- -80% of net project expenditures for programs recycling over 16%
A change has been proposed in the 1988 County's "Policy Statement
on Hennepin County Funding of Solid Waste Source- Separation
Programs" that would require cities to get at least a five
percent recycling level or they will receive no funding at all.
Because of these requirements and the positive feedback we are
getting from the general public regarding curbside recycling, we
feel that the City's next step in recycling should be to start
curbside yard waste and recycling collection as soon as possible.
We need to achieve another three to four percent to achieve the
minimum goal that the county is likely to adopt. We also have
the opportunity to get a higher percentage of funding than the 50
percent level if we recycle more than five percent.
We can start a curbside recycling program with the City's
disorganized hauling garbage system as it is. However, based on
experiences of other cities and test pilot areas across the
country, curbside recycling needs to be done on the same day as
residents regular trash collection to get the level of
participation we need to achieve the 16 percent reduction in
solid waste, the reason being that it simply becomes too
complicated for a homeowner to remember that their trash gets
collected on Wednesday, for example, that their year waste gets
collected on Thursday, and their recyclables need to be out at
the curb on Friday. It has also been discovered that weekly
Memo to Gerald G. Splinter
October 6, 1987
Page 2
recyclable pickup is most effective. Recycling has to be made
easy for the homeowner or there will not be enough participation
to justify the costs.
The refuse haulers have been invited to two information meetings
in the past year to inform them of the mandates we face and seek
their input.
The City of Plymouth is a very good example. They have
aggressively publicized their curbside recycling program,
provided residents with special recycling bags and even moved
from monthly to bimonthly pickup. However, they are still only
achieving a three percent level of recycling. Plymouth is in the
same situation as Brooklyn Center in that they have several
different haulers collecting trash on different days.
Yard waste is recyclable and cities under organized collection
can achieve significant tonnage numbers at low or no cost. This
is because Hennepin County's yard waste compost site in Maple
Grove does not charge a disposal fee and is closer than the
nearest landfill. This fee is currently about $22.50 and will
increase when the garbage burner begins operation. This is why
we feel we must obtain some form of organized refuse collection.
We have a mandate placed on us by the County, and if we don't set
a plan as to how we are going to comply with that mandate by
January 1, 1988, the County has the option to move in and
initiate recycling programs for the City and charge the City for
collection:
1. Buy garbage trucks, hire employees, and have a municipal
Y
refuse collections system.
Result: The present haulers will be out of business in
Brooklyn Center and the substantial cost of additional
equipment and personnel would tax the City budget.
2. Do nothing - -Let the County implement and charge us for
recycling programs and administrative costs.
Result: Costly program for the City and haulers would
probably be put out of business in Brooklyn Center. The
County would dictate hauling in Brooklyn Center and the
City would lose control of garbage collection.
3. Put trash hauling out for bid.
Result: One refuse hauler has the entire City's
business and all other haulers are out of business in
Brooklyn Center.
Memo to Gerald G. Splinter
October 6, 1987
Page 3
4. Negotiate a contract with the present haulers if they
form a cooperative hauling system.
Result: All haulers maintain current level of City's
business.
We feel that the City's best option at this point is No. 4, to
attempt to negotiate a contract with the present haulers if they
can consolidate among themselves to form a cooperative similar to
Minneapolis Refuse Incorporated (MRI).
Before we can legally do this, however, we must hold a public
hearing (according to the amended Waste Management Act of 1980)
to consider a Resolution of Intent to Implement Organized
Collection. Passing such a resolution does not legally bind the
City to this one option only. Neither does it put any legal
obligation on the haulers. It simply allows us to consider that
option over the next 90 days.
Unfortunately, time is running out. 1990 is not far away when
you consider how long it takes a recycling program to become
effective.
My conclusion is that Brooklyn Center needs to initiate curbside
recycling in the city in order to obtain the 16 percent goal by
1990. Curbside recycling cannot be done in a cost - efficient
manner in Brooklyn Center under the current garbage hauling
system, and I would recommend we proceed to a public hearing so
we can start the process of negotiating with the haulers.

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: Charitable Gambling Regulations
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:
At the City Council's first reading of the ordinance establishing
charitable gambling regulations, the Council expressed concern
about the section regulating the types of purposes the proceeds
from such gambling could be used. In one of the initial drafts
the statement "charitable purposes" was used and in the approved
first reading version the words "lawful purposes" were used.
The City Council expressed concern that they did not understand
what "lawful purposes were." Attached please find a copy of the
state law section which defines lawful purposes. The staff
changed the wording from charitable purposes to lawful purposes
because by definition charitable purposes is far more restrictive
in what the funding can be used for than is lawful purposes.
Charitable under state statutes does not include "nonprofit"
purposes or organizations. You will recall receiving a list of
projects that have been funded by the Lions over the last few
years. We estimate that between 50% and 75% of those projects
would not qualify under the label of charitable. If the Council
concludes that the lawful purposes definition under the statute
is too broad, it is legally possible to be more restrictive.
However, staff is of the opinion that using the charitable
purposes definition would probably be far more restrictive than
the Council intends. For example, the Boy Scouts, the City band,
and other similar projects the Lions contribute to, are not
charitable organizations but they are nonprofit and governmental
organizations.
I hope this information addresses your expressed concerns.
Respectfully submitted,
'Atau: - 5�Z

TO: CHARLIE LeFEVERE
FROM: CORRINE HEINE o
DATE: SEPTEMBER 21, 1987
RE: BROOKLYN CENTER GAMBLING ORDINANCE
The Brooklyn Center city council is considering the adoption
of an amendment to its gambling ordinance. The amendment would
require that a specific percentage of the licensed organization's
profits be spent for lawful purposes within Brooklyn Center. The
city council asked our office to determine whether the phMse
"lawful purpose" should be defined in the ordinance. The phrase
"lawful purpose" is defined by state gambling laws. See Minn.
Stat. §349.12, subd. 11, as amended by 1987 Minn. Laws, ch. 327,
§2 (copy attached). Because state law provides a definition of
"lawful purpose ", the ordinance does not need to define the term,
unless the city wishes to restrict the purposes for which
gambling profits may be spent.

RE: Renaming County State Aid Highway No. 10
Attached hereto is a letter from Rolf T. Nelson, Attorney -at -Law, in which he
requests that the "Bass Lake Road" designation be extended Easterly to T.H. 100.
In reviewing our records, it does not appear that any portion of CSAH 10 within
the City of Brooklyn Center has ever been officially designated as Bass Lake
Road. Rather, Bass Lake Road officially does not begin until CSAH 10 crosses into
the City of Crystal.
A review of the "Easy Reference Guide for Zip Codes" as published in the yellow
pages as published by U.S. West Direct (Note: it is my understanding that this
section is prepared by and paid for by the U.S. Post Office) also shows Bass
Lake Road as not starting until street address 4800, which coincides
approximately with the Brooklyn Center /Crystal city limits.
However, some of the commercial offices along CSAH 10 in Brooklyn Center have
used the "Bass Lake Road" designation in recent years. Also, the Hennepin
County DOT has installed signs at the CSAH 10 /Brooklyn Boulevard intersection
which identify CSAH 10 as Bass Lake Road.
Accordingly, a draft copy of an ordinance renaming CSAH 10 in Brooklyn Center as
"Bass Lake Road" has been prepared for consideration by the City Council (see
Option No. 1).
Alternatively, the City Council may also wish to consider renaming 57th Avenue
between Lyndale Avenue and T.H. 100 as Bass Lake Road, so as to make the name of
that route continuous.

Whichever option is selected it must be given a first reading, published and then
given a second reading and public hearing. If the Council wishes to "test the
waters" of public opinion before deciding whether or not to include 57th Avenue
between Lyndale Avenue and T.H. 100, they may give "Option 2 its first reading
and publication. That ordinance could be amended at the time of its second
reading to delete that portion, thereby returning to consideration of "Option 1"

RE: Extension of "Bass Lake Road" designation East to the
Highway 100 Bridge
Dear Dean:
Following our conversation Tuesday, October 6, 1987 after
Rotary, I called Jim Moffat of Health One regarding the above
matter. Jim indicated Health One was experiencing mix -ups
and difficulties with the use of their current "57th Avenue
North" address. Most recently the reported preparation of a
"locater" map for persons unfamiliar with the Brooklyn Center
area was most difficult as 57th Avenue North is both unknown
and confusing. Jim felt extension of the Bass Lake Road
designation eastward from the 4800 block amt He alth One's
offices, perhaps to or over the bridge over Highway 100 would
make good sense. Further it would tie our street address in
with the exceedingly well known and easily recognized major
East /West thoroughfare "Bass Lake Road ".
Because information for the Minneapolis Yellow Pages must be
submitted shortly (perhaps as early as October 15, 1987), it
is important that the City take action to at least permit
postal authorities to recognize and use street addresses
below 4800 on Bass Lake Road. I've suggested to Cy Knapp
Page 2 - Mayor Nyquist - October 7, 1987
that he communicate that change to not only postal
authorities before October 15, but also U.S. West Direct
Yellow Page representatives. As I am sure you are aware,
Minneapolis, St. Paul and Minnesota zip codes are printed in
the Easy Reference Guide at the front of the Minneapolis
Yellow Pages.
I have spoken with a Mr. Michael Collins who identified
himself as the "manager" of the Brooklyn Center post office
branch. I believe he would be the first postal authority to
contact regarding the changes. I suspect that U.S. West
Direct Yellow Page officials can be reached at their Shingle
Creek office right in Brooklyn Center.
I apologize for the urgency of this request. However, if the
City is willing to permit use of Bass Lake Road, addresses
between 2200 and 4800 promptly, it would assist postal
authorities, insure the zip code extension is included in the
new yellow pages as well as help all of the affected business
people with addresses on this street for the entire year of
1988.
Further it would avoid other new businesses locating on the
street experiencing what we have over the P ast several weeks
namely postal authorities, UPS and other delivery firms
insisting that our office and the location did not exist
The street reference guides that many firms use I suspect are
based upon the zip code listings within the yellow pages.
Assuming the City completes its formal re- designation by
ordinance, the cost to the City should be minimal. The
largest and most expensive "Bass Lake Road" sign has already
been approved and installed by the County above the
intersection with Brooklyn Blvd. Only a handful of small
intersection street signs would then need to be changed to
complete the designation.
Your prompt attention to this request would be much
appreciated by not only Jim Moffat and myself and our
respective firms, but also new businesses moving into the
area within the coming year. Post office personnel and other
Brooklyn Center firms located on this major collector would
also benefit.

If I can be of help to you, Cy Knapp or others in the City
re: this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you.

MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF
HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
REGULAR SESSION
OCTOBER 15, 1987
CITY HALL
CALL TO ORDER
The Planning Commission met in regular session and was called to order by Chairman
George Lucht at 7:34 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Chairman George Lucht, Commissioners Molly Valecki, Mike Nelson, Wallace Bernards
and Ann Wallerstedt. Also present were Director of Planning and Inspection Ronald
Warren, City Engineer Bo Spurrier, and Recording Secretary Mary Lou Larsen.
Chairman Lucht stated Commissioners Carl Sandstrom and Lowell Ainas were unable to
attend this evening's meeting and were excused.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - September 24, 1987
Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Wallerstedt to approve the
minutes of the September 24, 1987 Planning Commission meeting as submitted. Voting
in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Nelson, Bernards and Wallerstedt.
Voting against: none. Not voting: Commissioner Mslecki, as she did not attend
that meeting. The motion passed.
APPLICATION NO. 87023 (James Andrescik)
Following the Chairman's explanation, the Secretary introduced the first item of
business, a request for variance approval from Section 35 -400 of the Zoning
Ordinance to allow a zero setback for an existing garage from the north side lot line
at 5806 Halifax Avenue North. The Secretary reviewed the staff report (see
Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 87023 attached).
Commissioner Wallerstedt inquired if the garage was destroyed, for instance, by
fire, if the applicant would be allowed to rebuild the structure in its present
location if the variance were granted? The Secretary responded affirmatively, but
noted the extent of the destruction of the property may have some bearing on where it
is rebuilt. He pointed out that the granting of the variance in this case really
makes the structure a "conforming use" rather than a "nonconforming use" of the
property.
Commissioner Bernards asked if the relocation of the storm sewer would be confined
to the two properties. City Engineer Bo Spurrier stated a consultant has been
obtained to do a study of the situation and he will not know until he gets the results
of that study which should be available in approximately two weeks. He also stated
the current system is designed for a two year storm, but would be designed for a
five year storm, meaning there is a need to enlarge the storm sewer facility.
Commissioner Bernards inquired if the system would be a straight shot with no bends.
The City Engineer answered a larger pipe could be used to accommodate runoff and
would carry the difference between a two year and a five year term storm sewer
system. Commissioner Bernards asked if the flow would be blocked. The City
Engineer answered the City wants to continue to use that corridor for storm sewer.
Chairman Lucht asked the applicant, James Andrescik, if he had anything to add. Mr.
Andrescik stated he had nothing further to add.
10 -15 -87 -1-
PUBLIC HEARING
Chairman Lucht then opened the meeting for a public hearing and asked if anyone
present wished to speak regarding the application. Albert Blazevic, 5800 Halifax
Avenue North, was then recognized by Chairman Lucht. Mr. Blazevic stated he wanted
it known for the record that he had no objection to the applicant's proposal.
The Secretary stated that one phone call had been received by the Planning and
Inspection Department in response to the notice for public hearing from a person who
was unable to attend this evening's meeting. That person wanted to know if the
granting of a variance would set a precedent to allow other buildings to be built on
property lines. He explained that the party was informed that the granting of a
variance in this case would not establish a precedent to allow all other structures
to be built on property lines, but could be considered a precedent for other similar
variances where the circumstances were identical to this case. He added that this
situation was viewed as being unique.
Chairman Lucht, noting that no one else wished to be heard, called for a motion to
close the public hearing.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Malecki to close the public
hearing. Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Nelson,
Bernards and Wallerstedt.
The Secretary also pointed out that the granting of these variances for the property
at 5806 Halifax (Andrescik property) should also acknowledge a variance for the
property at 5812 Halifax ( Rubenstein property) because the house at 5812 Halifax is
set back 9.52' from the side property line rather than the 10' required by City
Ordinance.
ACTION RECOMENDING APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO. 87023
Following further discussion, there was a motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by
Commissioner Wallerstedt to approve Application No. 87023 subject to the following:
1. A variance from Section 35 -400 of the Zoning Ordinance is
warranted in this case for the following reasons:
a) The remodeling of the existing residence necessary to comply
with the ordinance would be prohibitively expensive and
constitute a genuine hardship as opposed to a mere
inconvenience.
b) The circumstances of an attached garage built over a side lot
line are unique to this parcel and are not common generally in
the R1 zone.
c) The condition of the encroachment of the attached garage into
the storm sewer easement and into the Rubenstein property has
been accomplished with the erroneous acknowledgement of the
City.
d) Injury to the Rubenstein property is compensated for and
there is no injury to other properties.
e) The private cost to achieve compliance at this time exceeds
the public benefit derived from such compliance.
10 -15 -87 -2-
2. The applicant shall enter into an agreement providing for the
relocation of the storm sewer between the two houses and for the
assessment of costs prior to final vacation of the storm sewer
easement under the two houses.
3. Variance approval is also acknowledged for the Rubenstein
residence at 5812 Halifax Avenue North which is 9.52' from the
south property line.
Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Yalecki, Nelson, Bernards and
Wallerstedt. Voting against: none. The motion passed.
APPLICATION NO. 87024 (James Andrescik)
The Secretary introduced the next item of business, a request for variance approval
from the Subdivision Ordinance to transfer a small wedge of land by metes and bounds
rather than through formal platting. The staff report was then reviewed by the
Secretary (see Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 87024
attached).
PUBLIC HEARING
Chairman 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
Nation by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Malecki to close the public
hearing. Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Nelson,
Bernards and Wallerstedt. Voting against: none. The motion passed.
ACTION RECMENDING APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO. 87024 (James Andrescik)
Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Wallerstedt to approve
Application No. 87024 subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall enter into an agreement providing for the
relocation of the storm sewer between the two houses and for the
assessment of costs prior to final vacation of the storm sewer
easement under the two houses.
2. Variance approval is also acknowledged for the Rubenstein
residence at 5812 Halifax Avenue North which is 9.52' from the
south property line.
Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Na-lecki, Nelson, Bernards and
Wallerstedt. Voting against: none. The motion passed.
The Secretary explained the two applications would be on the City Council's November
9, 1987 meeting agenda as the storm sewer relocation study and easement vacation
will be also be considered by the City Council at that time.
APPLICATION N0. 87025 (John Ditzler)
The Secretary introduced the next item of business, a request for preliminary plat
approval, to subdivide into a lot and an outlot the parcel of land immediately west
of 701 69th Avenue North. The Secretary reviewed the staff report (see Planning
Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 87025 attached).
10 -15 -87 -3-
Chairman Lucht asked the applicant's representative if he had anything to add. The
representative stated he had nothing to add.
PUBLIC HEARING
Chairman Lucht then opened the meeting for a public hearing. 11-. Dave Evanson, 2208
73rd Avenue North, stated he and his sister own some parcels in the area of the
applicant's proposal. Mr. Evanson stated he has concerns about future plans for
compatible uses of the property in the surrounding area and would prefer to see it
remain R1 for single - family homes. Chairman Lucht asked if the property would
remain Rl. The Secretary answered in the affirmative and explained there had been a
meeting of the neighbors five years ago, but at that time none of them were ready to
subdivide. He stated an R1 zoning is recommended in the Comprehensive :Plan. The
Secretary stated that MW/DOT also owns a number of parcels in that area. Mr.
Evanson stated he agrees with the Comprehensive Plan recommendation and has no
objection to the proposed present construction.
City Engineer Bo Spurrier stated there is a need for subdivision in the area and is
glad to see an effort being made to do so. He stated there may be a need for a
subdivision agreement for utilities.
Chairman Lucht asked if anyone else wished to speak regarding the application.
Hearing no one, he called for a motion to close the public hearing.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Malecki to close the public
hearing. Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Nelson,
Bernards and Wallerstedt. Voting against: none. The motion passed.
ACTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF .APPLICATION NO. 87025 (John Ditzler)
Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Yalecki to recommend
approval of Application No. 87025 subject to the following conditions:
1. The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City
Engineer.
2. The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the
City Ordinances.
3• The owner shall enter into an agreement with the City prior to
final plat approval that development of Outlot A shall not
proceed until plans for access, utilities, and drainage, and a
subdivision agreement executed by the owner of the property,.
have been approved by the City.
Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Nelson, Bernards and
Wallerstedt. Voting against: none. The motion passed.

The Secretary briefly reviewed a memo from the City Attorney regarding the judgment
received in the Lescault case which has been in court over a period of two to two and
one half years.
Business items for the next Planning Commission meeting were reviewed by the
Secretary.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 87023
Applicant: James Andrescik
Location: 5806 Halifax Avenue North
Request: Variance
Background
The applicant requests a variance from Section 35 -400 of the Zoning Crdinance to
allow a zero setback for an existing garage from the north side lot line at 5806
Halifax Avenue North. The lot in question is zoned R1 and is bounded on the north,
east, and south by other single family homes, and on the west by Halifax Avenue
North. The variance request arises because the applicant, in the process of
selling his residence at 5806 Halifax, discovered that his attached garage and
second storey family room were built in 1968 over an existing storm sewer easement.
Surveys of the property revealed that the garage and family room were, in fact, built
over two storm sewer lines and that the garage encroached .6' onto the neighboring
property at 5812 Halifax Avenue North.
The family room built over the garage is set back approximately 5' further than the
north side of the garage. The original permit for the garage and family room showed
the garage set back 5' from the side lot line and the dwelling space set back 10' as
required by ordinance. However, the permit did not show all the measurements on the
lot which would have revealed that there was insufficient room on the north side of
the then existing house to make the proposed addition. The existence of the storm
sewer easement was also missed by both the owner applying for that permit and by the
City. As a result, the garage and family room addition encroach into the existing
storm sewer easement, which is 15' on either side of the common property line with
5812 Halifax, and the garage actually encroaches onto the neighboring property by
some .6 Surveys have also revealed that the neighboring home owned by Twila
Rubenstein at 5812 Halifax Avenue North also encroaches into the storm sewer
easement by 5.49
The existing situation and five options for dealing with it have been outlined by the
Director of Public Works in a memo to the City Manager dated August 12, 1987 ( see memo
attached). Mr. Andrescik is pursuing Option No. 5 which entails the following:
a) Relocate the storm sewer to the portion of the easement between
the two houses.
b) Make no change to the Andrescik house.
c) Vacate those portions of the easement lying under the two houses.
d) Property owners resolve question of the encroachment of the
Andrescik house across the property line.
e) Variance from setback requirements for one or both houses
depending on amount of land purchased by Andrescik.
f) Variance from platting requirements to transfer a small wedge of
land by metes and bounds descriptionn from Rubenstein to
Andrescik.
10 -15 -87 _1_
Application No. 87023 continued
Mr. Andrescik is in the process of concluding an agreement with Ms. Rubenstein to
purchase a small wedge of land that would follow the wall line of the Andrescik house
where it encroaches into the Rubenstein lot. This will leave the Andrescik
residence with a zero setback from the north side lot line. Meanwhile, the City is
in the process of having a study done and a design developed for the relocation of the
storm sewer and an enlargement of its capacity to minimize flooding in the area.
Also, a first reading of an ordinance vacating the portions of the storm sewer
easement lying under both houses has been held by the City Council.
Reasoning
Mr. Andrescik has submitted no written arguments in support of the variance request.
This does not indicate a lack of concern, however, inasmuchas the sale of the
residence at 5806 Halifax cannot be consummated until the matters of the storm sewer
and the property line encroachment are resolved. Variances are subject to the
standards set forth in Section 35 -240, Subsection 2(attached). The first standard
relates to hardship. "Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape, or
topographical conditions of the specific parcels of land involved, a particular
hardship to the owner would result, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if
the strict letter of the regulations were to be carried out." Mr. Andrescik has
apparently investigated the possibility of remodeling the house to do away with the
encroachment and he has received an estimate of $30,000 for the cost of remodeling.
In addition, he estimates that the value of the house would be reduced by
approximately $20,000. Thus, a net loss of $50,000 would be realized by Mr.
Andrescik. We would agree that this is more than a "mere inconvenience." There is
the possibility of Mr. Andrescik acquiring more land from Ms. Rubenstein so as to
meet a 5' sideyard setback and 10' for the family room. This would leave Ms.
Rubenstein's house in a substandard situation as well. Ms. Rubenstein is
apparently unwilling to sell the additional land and the City certainly cannot force
her to.
The second standard requires that the conditions upon which the application for a
variance is based are unique to the parcel of land and are not common generally to
other property in the same zoning classification. The circumstances of this
application - an attached garage built over a property line and on top of a storm
sewer - are, thank goodness, unique to this parcel and not common generally to
properties in the Rl district.
The third standard for a variance requires that the alleged hardship is related to
the requirements of the ordinance and has not been created by any persons presently
or formerly having an interest in the parcel of land. In this case, although the
condition was created by Mr. Andrescik, the City did issue a permit for the work and
apparently made inspections without a proper verification of where the property
line was actually located, or noting that, even as applied for, the garage and family
room addition would be located over a storm sewer easement. Therefore, the City has
by its actions or inaction erroneously acknowledged the condition as acceptable.
On balance, the costs of total compliance at this stage appear to exceed the
benefits. It, therefore, seems reasonable to set the ordinance aside in this case
and achieve the best possible solution under the circumstances.
Finally, the granting of the variance is not to be detrimental to the public welfare
or injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood. In this case,
whatever injury there is to the Rubenstein property is compensated for under the
provisions of the agreement ment betty nth
P g between e Andresciks and Ms. Rubenstein. We see no
injury to other neighboring properties.
10 -15 -87 -2-
Application No. 87023
Conclusion
Based on the reasoning outlined above, staff recommend approval of the
variance request, subject to the following conditions:
1. A variance from Section 35 -400 of the Zoning Ordinance is
warranted in this case for the following reasons:
a) The remodeling of the existing residence necessary to comply
with the ordinance would be prohibitively expensive and
constitute a genuine hardship as opposed to a mere
inconvenience.
b) The circumstances of an attached garage built over a side lot
line are unique to this parcel and are not common generally in
the R1 zone.
c) The condition of the encroachment of the attached garage into
the storm sewer easement and into the Rubenstein property has

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 87024
Applicant: James Andrescik
Location: 5806 Halifax Avenue North
Request: Variance
The applicant requests a variance from the Subdivision Ordinance to transfer a small
wedge of land by metes and bounds rather than through formal platting. The land in
question is zoned Rl and is bounded on the north, east, and south by single- family
homes, and on the west by Halifax Avenue North. The proposed transfer of land comes
about as a result of a survey by Westwood Planning and Engineering which revealed
that the attached garage of the residence at 5806 Halifax Avenue North encroached by
.6' into the parcel of land at 5812 Halifax Avenue North. The existing legal
description of these parcels is Lot 46 (5806) and Lot 47 (5812), Block 6, Pearson's
Northport 3rd Addition.
In the past, transfers of property by metes and bounds description have been allowed
when the underlying land is platted property and when no new buildable lots are being
created. That is the case here. Staff are, therefore, prepared to recommend
approval of the variance request without conditions, other than the following:
1. The applicant shall enter into an agreement providing for the
relocation of the storm sewer between the two houses and for the
assessment of costs.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 87025
Applicant: John Ditzler
Location: 707 69th Avenue North
Request: Preliminary Plat
The applicant requests preliminary plat approval to subdivide into a lot and an
outlot the parcel of land immediately west of 701 69th Avenue North. The land in
question is zoned R1 and is bounded on the north by 69th Avenue North; on the east by a
single- family home and vacant Rl zoned property; on the south by the south half of
68th Avenue North right -of -way ( the street is not installed at this time) ; and on the
west by a single - family home on a long lot extending from 69th down to 68th Avenue
North right -of -way. The owner wishes to create a standard single - family lot at the
north end of the existing parcel and reserve the remainder of the land for future
subdivision.
The measurements of the two proposed parcels are as follows:
Parcel Width Depth Area
Lot 1 75.23' 134.5' 10,088 s.f.
Outlot A 75.23' 493.39' 36,997 s.f.
Total 75.23' 627.89' 47,085 s.f.
The existing legal description is "the west 75' of the east 150' of Lot 31, Auditor's
Subdivision No. 310, City of Brooklyn Center, Hennepin County, Minnesota." The
proposed legal description is Lot 1 and Outlot A, Block 1, Ditzler Addition.
A permit has been issued for a single - family home at the north end of the existing
parcel (35' south of 69th Avenue North) where the proposed Lot 1 is located. The
highest elevation on the plat is the building pad for the new residence at 849.5' .
Drainage over the entire plat is generally to the south and west. The preliminary
plat proposes drainage and utility easements of 5' in width along the side and rear
property lines and 10' in width along the front property line along 69th Avenue
North.
Although right -of -way was dedicated on the Swanco Terrace Addition to the east
approximately 10 years ago, no right -of -way is being dedicated on this plat.
Swanco Terrace dedicated 7' of additional right -of -way along 69th Avenue North
because at that time this portion of 69th was a County Road and a major collector in
the Northeast Neighborhood. This section of 69th is no longer a County Road, nor is
it a collector now since it ends in a cul -de -sac and does not intersect with Highway
252. On the south, Swanco Terrace dedicated 30' of right -of -way for 68th Avenue
North. However, the City Engineer advises against the dedication of right -of -way
for 68th at present because the layout of a future subdivision is not known at this
time. It may be that lots would be created fronting on a cul -de -sac at the end of
Camden Avenue North rather than on 68th. By platting the south portion of the plat
as an outlot, the owner reserves to the future decisions about the development of the
vacant land since outlots are by definition unbuildable.
Altogether, the plat appears to be in order and approval is recommended, subject to
at least the following conditions:
9 -15 -87 -1-
Application No. 87025 continued
1. The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City
Engineer.
2. The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the
City Ordinances.
3. The owner shall enter into an agreement with the City prior to
final plat approval that development of Outlot A shall not
proceed until plans for access, utilities, and drainage have
been approved by the City.

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 2
Subdivision 6, defines a residential facility as:
"... any facility, public or private, which for gain or otherwise
regularly provides one or more persons with a 24 hour per day
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 rdinance does not define residential facility nor make reference to the
g Ys
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?
f
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 C1 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 Cl and ClA 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 C1 and ClA 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 area, 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 is 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
at
Memo
Page 4
October 23, 1987
same impact on neighborhood safety. Does 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.

Dear f ' Y rz _ C i ✓�vv'� t -L -Z' 7t /,lir �.�Li:'7 /L Ci'. �1� L1% -
I am sorry that I will not be able to attend the city council
meeting on the 26th of October , because we will be out of town; therefore
I would like to express my concerns in this letter regarding the Bill Kelly
House.
For the past few months we the citizens of Brooklyn Center have
been trying to protect our rights and have found the law appears to
protect the guilty over the innocent. In June when the Bill Kelly House
decided to relocate on 52nd and Drew they allerted as few people as
possible with brochures on their meeting with the city council requesting
a Special Use Permit for a residential treatment facility. It was by
accident that,some of the neighborhood found out and many concerns arose
about it.
We have voiced our great concern for the innocent children that range.
from Kindergarten through sixth grade that learn and play at Northport
School only two blocks from the proposed sight where the Bill Kelly House
plans to relocate. There is a big difference in Nursery school children,
who were near their place on Pillsbury, and the children who range from
Kindergarten through sixth grade at Northport School. Who is going to
protect the innocent children? Are those who chose to chemically abuse
their lives, and alcohol can cause mental illness by chemical imbalance,
come before the rights of innocent children? Should they be forced to
live in such a dangerous surrounding with people like these who have been
known to become violent? If the Bill Kelly House is permitted to relocate
here it will soon drive the children 1 ren out of the la oun and a rk which
d
P yam' P
is their rightful lace to
g la The residents of Bill Kell House P play, y e will
go to the Northport Park as stated by the applicants. Soon it will
become a dangerous place for the children to play and they will no longer
feel safe and at ease to play there. When residents of the Bill Kelly
House disappear and the police are notified it becomes a little late
concerning the safety of a small child or teenager.
Another thing the Bill Kelly House is understaffed to care for this
many people, probably insufficent funds are allocated. This location on
52nd and Drew does not provide sufficient grounds for outdoor exercise.
That is probable why they chose this location close to the school play—
ground and public park to use the facilities that rightfully belong to
the school children.
Yes, fear should be a prime concern. Haven't we a right as law
abiding, tax paying citizens to be heard and upheld to ward out a
situation that could end up extremely harmful to our community? There
is a time and a place for everything and this is not the place for a
4 Bill Kelly House. Why should children's lives be put in jeopardy when
these people who choose to do this to their lives come before them. It
is the tax payer who makes it possible for these places to exist in
the first place. The law needs some changing.
Please we ask you, for the sake of the children, do not permit
the Bill Kelly House to relocate here. It is inconsiderate of them the
way they have pushed themselves in here, probably knowing that it is
not the place for a rule #36 facility.
If our children are important to us, and I pray.so, for they will
be our future leaders someday, consider their rights if not ours and
turn down this request to the Bill Kelly House as the wrong location
considering the many children whose lives will be directly affected in
one way or the other. The children look to us for protection. Let us
not fail them.

Re: Relocation Policy of Tenants of 5240 Drew Avenue North
A letter was sent September 1, 1987 to tenants of 5240 Drew
Avenue North notifying them that the building was purchased by us
and may be converted to a residential treatment center. Reasonable
notice was promised after appropriate permits are obtained.
Since then termination notices have been received on three apart -
ments and two other leases come due October 30th without requests
for renewal. The only apartment requiring extensive remodeling
will be vacant by November lst.
Our experience in Golden Valley when OASIS converted a comparable
8 unit apartment building was that even though a 60 day notice was
given, seven of the eight apartments were vacated within two weeks.
The 8th tenant moved out after 30 days. Offering 60 days unneces-
sarily delayed the remodeling. Therefore a more flexible policy
is suggested in Brooklyn Center.
Following receipt of a conditional use permit tenants will be
given a notice to vacate by the end of the following month along
with the attached list of available comparable rents. They will
be asked to notify us if that would be a hardship. If so, arrange-
ments will be made for another month of tenancy while other vacant
apartments are renovated. Also use of our company van will be
offered for transportation. Those who need the extra time to
relocate will have approximately 65 days after the council meeting
of October 26th.
Deposits with interest will be returned to the tenants within 10
days of departure.

Re: Application # 87012 (Bill Kelly House)
Dear Mayor Nyquist and Council Members:
I am writing to address several issues and questions that were
raised at the public hearing last night.
First, I don't believe I was particularly clear in my
discussion with Mr. Warren regarding the distinction
between Rules 36 and 35, the admission criteria, and
the type of resident that would be served by the Bill
Kelly House. The simplest way to clarify would be to
delete the portions of lines 10 and 11 on page 2 of
Mr. Warren's October 2 staff notes stating "...persons
admitted to Bill Kelly may not..." and, lines 13 and 14
"... persons admitted to Eden House may not..."
The distinguishing factor and key language throughout
the discussions relates to what is primary and what is
secondary. Although Bill Kelly House requires that
a person be experiencing problems in both mental
health and chemical health, the mental illness
diagnosis is the primary focus of the treatment and
chemical use abuse issues are secondary, symptoms of
the mental illness.
Second, I would reiterate that is is not unusual at all
for a facility to admit persons with both kinds of
treatment needs. What distinguishes Bill Kelly House
from most facilities is their acknowledgement of the
high percentage of Rule 36 residents that experience
both as demonstrated by their admission criteria and
program design. Our records indicate that sixty nine
of seventy three Rule 36 facilities statewide have
residents with chemical use issues along with the
primary diagnosis of mental illness.

Third, I want to repeat my statement to Mr. Warren that
even though we do not have an absolute criteria for
determining adequacy of recreational space, we do take
it seriously. I have been involved in a number of
situations where recreational space was an issue and
have rejected several proposals. In my judgment, the
plan for Bill Kelly House residents is more than
adequate.
I look forward to a successful negotiating process.
Sincerely,

'justification for doing so in this case. However, we
have added the requirement in paragraph 4 that the site
plan show all permanent recreational facilities or
fixtures so that the City may maintain some review and
control over such facilities.
The neighbors have recommended the addition of paragraph
27 which would require proof that no felons or sex
offenders will be allowed into the facility. We believe
that the concern addressed by the recommended condition
has largely been taken care of by the language in
paragraph 15 which prohibits the admission of persons who
have been convicted of any one of a number of listed
crimes within the last three years.
Finally, the neighbors have recommended the addition of
new paragraph 28 which would provide that: "Outside
maintenance will coincide with other residents in the
area." Staff is of the opinion that this concern is
adequately addressed by requiring compliance with the
City's Housing and Maintenance Code.

Thomas R. Galt

Ro H. Batty Permit. A copy of this list of conditions was submitted
�0 -. Jordan to the nei hbors of the roposed facility or their
Skallerud g P y
Rodney D. Anderson review and comment. The City received recommended
Corrine A. Heine changes from the neighbors to paragraphs 4, 5, 8 through
David D. Beaudoin
Paul E. Rasmussen 15 , an p aragraphs 7 d recommended new 23 through 28. A
g P
Steven M. Tallen copy of the proposed conditions from the neighbors is
Mary Frances Skala attached. This letter will describe the extent to which
Christopher J. Harristhal
Timothy J. Pawlenty changes recommended by the neighbors have been
Rolf A. Sponheim incorporated into the current suggested list of
Julie A. Bergh conditions.
The change recommended to paragraph 4, the addition of
the word "with" in the second line, has been made as
suggested by the neighbors.
The change recommended for paragraph 5 the addition of
the word "City" in the first line, has been made as
suggested by the neighbors.
The original paragraph 8 required that existing tenants
receive a minimum of 30 -days notice prior to the date
they are expected to vacate the premises. The neighbors
have suggested the requirement that 60 -days notice be
given and that the applicant provide a plan of relocating
residents plus compensation if affordable housing is not
found. In my opinion, such a provision would not be
enforceable since it is not required by the ordinance and
is not required of any other applicant for such a permit.
However, the condition has been amended to provide that:
' Mr. Jerry ._linter
October 22, 1987
Page 2
The Applicant shall use its best efforts to
notify tenants as early as is reasonably
possible of the need to vacate the premises,
but in no event shall such notice be given
less than 30 days prior to the date of
vacation. Applicant is encouraged to attempt
to assist displaced tenants in locating
replacement accommodations and making
arrangements to move.
Paragraph 9 deals with the addition of a staff person
during certain hours of the day and night. In the
original condition, it was strongly recommended that at
least one staff person be added during certain hours.
The suggestion from the neighbors would change this
requirement from a recommendation to a requirement by
stating that "Bill Kelly House agrees to the addition of
at least one permanent staff person The neighbors'
proposal also requires the addition of one staff person
between the hours of midnight and 8:00 a.m., weekdays and
weekends. This exceeds not only the original Kelly House
proposal, but also the staffing level which the state and
county have indicated that they might be able to fund.
The level of staffing described in the original paragraph
9 is consistent with the level of staffing which the
state and county have indicated a willingness to fund if
encouraged by the City to do so. I do not know whether
the record contains sufficient justification for the
requirement of additional staff. However, I do not
believe that such a condition would be enforceable in any
case since staffing level is one of the areas which the
courts have declared to have been preempted by state
regulation. Therefore, the changes recommended to
paragraph 9 by the neighbors have not been incorporated
into the draft which is presently before the Council.
The neighbors have recommended a change to paragraph 10
which would provide that "application shall be made each
year for reissuance of the special use permit." I do not
believe that this requirement would be lawful given the
requirements of Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.3595,
which provides that conditional use permits: "... shall
remain in effect as long as the conditions agreed upon
are observed Therefore, the City may not
reconsider the issuance of a new permit periodically, but
is limited to enforcing conditions or revoking the permit
for violation of conditions.
The neighbors have suggested the addition of language to
paragraph 11 to provide that: "... violations shall be
Mr. Jerry ,.linter
October 22, 1987
r Page 3
grounds for revocation." I do not believe the addition
of this language is advisable. The violation of any of
the conditions in the permit is ground for violation;
therefore, this language is not necessary. Moreover, the
addition of this language to this particular condition
could lead one to conclude that violation of other
conditions which do not include the same language is not
ground for revocation.
The neighbors have recommended the addition of a sentence
to paragraph 12 as follows: "There will be no off - street
parking." Paragraph 12 as originally written is intended
to ensure compliance with the city code provisions
relating to parking. I do not know of any evidence that
would justify the imposition of this condition in this
particular use. This requirement should not be included
unless there is some basis for treating this facility
differently than other permitted or special uses.
Paragraph 13 of the permit conditions provides that trash
facilities shall be appropriately screened from
view.
The neighbors have
proposed that the conditions specify
9 P P
that the screen is to be a six -foot gated fence. It is
. the position of the staff that the condition as
originally worded affords greater protection and control
since a six -foot gated fence may not be adequate or
appropriate to screen the trash facilities.
Paragraph 14 requires Rule 36 licensure and compliance
with state and county regulations. The neighbors propose
the addition of a sentence which provides: "Violations
shall be grounds for revocation of their special use
permit." I would not recommend the addition of this
language for the same reasons stated with respect to
a
similar language in paragraph 11.
Paragraph 15 provides that the Applicant will not seek
licensure from the Department of Corrections. The
neighbors suggestion that "may" be changed to "will" in
this clause has been included. Originally, the condition
provided that the facility would not accept referrals
from the criminal justice system. The Applicant,
however, pointed out that this would unnecessarily
interfere with acceptance of such clients as DWI
defendants who are somehow involved with the criminal
justice system. Therefore, the condition has been
changed to provide that persons who have been convicted
of any one of a number of listed crimes within the last
three years may not be admitted to the facility.
Mr. Jerry . Tinter
October 22, 1987
Page 4
The neighbors recommended a change from "may not" to
"will not" in paragraph 17. However, the language in the
current version of paragraph 17 has been significantly
changed from the original.
The neighbors have recommended the addition of new
paragraph 22 which would require that any reduction of
property values of neighboring properties be assessed
against the Bill Kelly House. This condition was not
included because I do not believe it to be lawful or
enforceable.
The neighbors have recommended the addition of new
paragraph 23 which would require a neighborhood advisory
committee. This committee would have the authority to
make unannounced visits to the facility to check for
violations of law. I do not believe that such a
condition would be lawful, enforceable, or even
advisable. However, we have added the condition that the
neighbors have an opportunity to participate in the
facility advisory committee required by state
regulations.
The neighbors recommended the addition of new paragraph
24 which would require that insurance be provided in the
amount of 1 million dollars. If such a requirement is
not imposed on other residential facilities in the City,
there would have to be some facts on the record to
justify imposing such a condition in this case. However,
we have added the condition that insurance be maintained
as required by state and county regulations.
The neighbors have recommended the addition of new
paragraph 25 which would require reports to the City of
all incidents of injury, accidents, or missing persons.
Again, I know of no facts on the record that would
justify imposing such a condition on this facility when
it is not imposed on others such as nursing homes or
apartments. However, we have added the requirement that
Applicant must comply with Minnesota Statutes, Section
626.557, which requires reports of most injuries; to
residents to prop e r authorities. Additionally, it is
reports of an injuries presumed that p Y 7 uries to persons outside
s
'
of the facility would be reported by the neig hbor or
others to the police department.
The neighbors have recommended the addition of paragraph
26 which would require that picnic tables, volleyball
nets, etc. not be located in front or to the sides of the
building. Since such a requirement is not imposed on
other residential uses, there would not seem to be any

'justification for doing so in this case. However, we
have added the requirement in paragraph 4 that the site

Section 1. Background
1.01 The City has received a special use pe't application from
Bill Kelly House of Kelly Norton Programs Inc to operate a
0 State licensed residential treatment facility for mentally ill
and chemically dependent adults in an R5 Zonin District. As a
result of the review process of that application it has become
apparent that the City's zoning ordinance does not contemplate
or adequately address the classification of such uses
1.02 The City's Zonin g ordinance is unclear as to whether uses such
as "adult halfway houses" "Community correctional facilities"
"residential facilities" and "comamit -based residential
facilities" should be classified as "nursing care homes" or
"boarding care homes" or whether a new classification should be
adopted.
1.03 In addition to the rroper zoning classification of such uses
there area number of significant planning and land use issues
Pertaining to the regulation of such uses includincr the
following:
1.•
The particular zoning districts in which such uses should
be allowed as either permitted uses or special uses
?• The population density of clientele that su&, facilities
should serve in the various zoning districts.
3. The concentration and density of such uses in the City and
its neighborhoods
ORD=cE NO.
4. The effect of such uses on other uses in the surrcl i '
area.
1.04 There is a need for a study to be conducted so that the C'
can adopt a set of co-pren,nsive plans and land use 7-on
regulations pertaining to such uses Such a study will address
the land use and zoning issues including those referenced
above.
1.05 There is a need for ?n interim ordinance to be adcoted for the

safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City and to ensure
that the City and its citizens retain the benefits of the
City's comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance until such a

2.02 Notwithstanding any provision of this ordinance to the
contrary, any use that meets the definition of a residential
facility as defined in Minnesota Statutes Section 2.45.782,
subd. 6 and as regulated by Minnesota Statutes Section
462.357 subd. 7 and subd. 8 is not affected by this ordinance.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: James Lindsay, Chief of Police
DATE: October 20, 1987
SUBJECT: Brooklyn Center Duoos Brother American Legion Post
#630, Gambling License Application
It has been approximately one year since the American Legion Post
has sold pull -tabs at their club. This is primarily the result
of the City Council not approving their gambling license
application. Since that time the department's Administrative Aid
and myself have met with a committee from the Post at least
monthly. Investigator Monteen has reviewed their financial books
a number of times.
During our first meeting or two there was a lack of trust on both
sides. Since then the relationship has developed to where I
believe there is mutual understanding and cooperation. The
police staff believes there is a sincere effort by the club to
cooperate with the police department as they strive to rectify
the past problems. It is my belief that the committee now
accepts the police involvement as being constructive to get them
back on their feet. They have also cooperated with the State to
get their taxes straightened out and all back taxes paid up to
date.
The supporting documents will show the new chairman of the
gambling committee, new chairman of the bar committee, among
several new assignments to various committees. I have personally
met with the chairmen of each committee and have reviewed the
club's new by -laws. Investigator Monteen informs me the books
are now in order and that they have established procedures for
the proper handling of all accounts.
Early after loosing their gambling license, the principals
involved in getting them into the mess they were in had been
discharged. They removed and replaced the gambling manager, the
treasurer, the bar manager, and the full -time bartender. With
the cooperation of the club officers, the department brought
additional charges against the bartender, Pat Huck -Casey for
theft of funds from the Auxiliary, which have been repaid.
I believe the American Legion has turned the corner and now have
responsible people handling the various club functions. They
have agreed to meet with the police staff on a continuing basis
and to make their books available upon request. I believe they
are now capable of handling the requirements of a gambling
license.
Memo to Gerald G. Splinter
Page 2
October 20, 1987
The Brooklyn Center Duoos Brothers American Legion Post #630 has
submitted a request for a Class B gambling license which includes
raffles, paddlewheels, tipboards, and pull -tabs. I recommend
that the gambling license application be approved.
If the City Council desires to deny the application, a resolution
must be passed by the Council and sent on to the state.
Otherwise, the license would be automatically approved by the
state at the end of the thirty day waiting period. If the
Council approves the application, the American Legion Post #630
also requests the Council waive the thirty day waiting period
with the state. If the Council agrees, we will notify the state
and the gambling license would be approved immediately.

On behalf of the Brooklyn Center American Legion, I would like to request
the City of Brooklyn Center reinstate our gambling licence.
The money that is raised from the sale of "pull tabs" benefit the community.
In the past, Thanksgiving and Christmas, we have purchased, assembled, and
delivered food baskets to the needy. This is only a couple of ways
the Brooklyn Center American Legion has used the money raised by the sale
of "pull tabs ". There are many more community projects, to numerous to
mention in this letter. (Available upon request.) If we are unable to get
our amblin licence reinstated, g g restated these worthwhile contributions will be
suspended, do to lack of money.
I feel with the numerous meeting's we have had with you, have been very
meaningful and that you have learned alot about the American Legion's
new operation and it's new committee's. We have cooperated with the Police
Department and the City of Brooklyn Center and we will continue to show
this cooperation in the future.
Sincerely,
BROOKLYN ER AMERICAN LEGION

RE: BrooKlyn Center
Post 630 American Legion
Gambling License
Dear Chief Lindsay,
I attended the Executive and Bar committee meetings of BrooKlyn Center
Post 630 on August 4,1987. Both meetings were well attended and the
interest of the Post is certainly evident. The discussions I observed,
allowed those present to voice any opinions either for or against
while the committee members were the only ones to vote.
It is my opinion the members of BrooKlyn Center Post 630 are headed in
the right direction. with the Posts interest their # 1 priority. The
changes they have made and are now following, are positive steps in
their re- organization process. These changes in their Bylaws,
Committees and operation of their post is very positive of their
efforts to once again be an American Legion Post, and an asset to the
community of BrooKlyn Center. As they continue in their
re organization process they have not forgotten the programs of the
American Legion. Once again this past year they exceeded their
Previous years membership. This is the most important program we have.
They are doing what they can in our other programs also, which require
mostly donations and sponserships.
With the absense of their gambling license their donations and
sponserships of the other programs is very limited. it would be of
course to their benefit and also to the programs of the American
Legion if they had their gambling license. i am therefore asKing you
to consider re- enstating their gambling license. The post is asKing Mr
Jerry Sweeney to assume the position of gambling chairman and to
assure that compliance of all local and state laws are followed. In my
conversations with Mr Sweeney I feel he is willing and very capable to
assum this important position.
Chief Lindsay, I am certainly aware no overnight miracle will happen.
This is going to be a very long haul and a lot of hard worK is
definitely going to happen before anyone can say its running smooth. I
will continue to be available to the post if asKed for advise or
input.
ThanK You for your consideration in this matter.
Respectfully, .
Marland Ronning

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: James Lindsay, Chief of Police
DATE: October 20, 1987
SUBJECT: On -Sale Intoxicating Liquor License Application
for SAH, Incorporated D /B /A La Casita Restaurant
Attached please find a resume as completed by Investigator Dirks
in connection with the application for a Class D (probationary)
on -sale intoxicating liquor license and Sunday on -sale
intoxicating liquor license for SAH, Incorporated, doing business
as La Casita Restaurant. Investigator Dirks found nothing of a
negative nature during the course of his investigation.
I have met with the designated on -site manager for the
restaurant, John Tangen. At this meeting we went over the City's
liquor ordinance and general concerns for liquor license holders.
Mr. Tangen seems to be an experienced, qualified manager and is
currently transferring from the La Casita Restaurant in St.
Cloud.
Mr. Tangen informed us that the restaurant is looking at an
opening date of November 15, 1987; however he felt it may be as
late as December 1, 1987. They would, however, need the license
approved to give them appropriate time to order, receive and set
up their liquor supply. Therefore, we recommend approval of the
application for a Class D On -Sale Intoxicating Liquor License and
a Sunday On -Sale Intoxicating Liquor License with the effective
date to be set upon final determination of the opening date.

property presently owned by Chuck Muer's Seafood and Tavern to SAH,
Incorporation whose principal stockholders are previously listed which
include Mr. and Mrs. ANVARY combined owning 51% and Mr. SMITH and Mr.
HANISH owning 49 %. In reviewing the Sale Report the price of
Page 2
Memorandum - Liquor License
Investigator Dirks
the property sold is $825,000 with a mortgage amount being held of
$725,000 with a $100,000 contract being held by Chuck Muer's Seafood
and Tavern. The terms of the Contract for Deed are at an interest rate
of 10.5% over three years with total interest per year to be $10,500.
The new mortgage Investigator DIRKS has learned in an interview with
Mr. ANVARY is held with the First American Bank of St. Cloud, that
mortgage being in the amount of $725,000 at 10.5% over fifteen years
with a monthly payment of $7,800 and a balloon date of seven years.
Investigator DIRKS after reviewing the sales report and information
provided did have opportunity to speak with each of the stockholders in
reference to their portion of the financial investment as indicated on
their personal application forms each providing $75,000 for this
acquisition.
Investigator DIRKS did speak with Mr. Behrooz ANVARY and Michelle
ANVARY about this at which time I was informed that this $300,000 was
put into escrow by the investing parties for the remodeling of the
present building, this remodeling to be quite extensive in the area of
a totally new theme and remodeling in the kitchen area. In questioning
Mr. ANVARY and Mrs. ANVARY as to where their finances came for their
$75,000 each investment I was informed that a note was taken out by Mr.
and Mrs. ANVARY from the State Bank of Fargo in the amount of $50,000
and that a note he held on a balloon payment for a restaurant which he
had sold had come due that being Sergio's in Jamestown, North Dakota in
which he received $51,300 and that he also received from the Mexican
Village in Fargo which he still holds interest in $50,000 from his
assets in that restaurant bringing his investment and his wife's to
$150,000.
Mr. ANVARY at this time advised Inevestigator DIRKS that he would
provide me with a copy of the note from the State Bank of Fargo as well
as documentation regarding the other funds that he had received.
Investigator DIRKS in speaking with Mr. and Mrs. Behrooz ANVARY learned
that they have a considerable financial background and have accounts in
the following banks with good financial recommendations from all:
St. Cloud State Bank
First Bank of St. Cloud
First American Bank of St. Cloud
First International Bank of Fargo
Fargo State Bank
Dakota Bank of Grand Forks
First American Bank of Alexandria, MN
Page 3
Memorandum - Liquor License
Investigator DIRKS
Investigator DIRKS next spoke with the stockholder Phillip Gary SMITH
in reference to his $75,000 investment and learned from Mr. SMITH that
his investing in this restaurant is strictly a financial investment and
that the restaurant itself in reference to its actual management will
be conducted by Mr. and Mrs. ANVARY as well as their manager Mr. John
TANGEN and that he will only oversee it from a financial standpoint.
Mr. SMITH informed me that the funds that he invested came from a note
which he obtained through Midway National Bank of St. Paul which is
guaranteed by a 2nd mortgage on his residence in the City of Edina as
well as stocks that he is owner of which guarantee this ongoing credit
line of $200,000 which he uses for investment purposes. Mr. SMITH
stated that he then borrowed on this line of credit $75,000 for his
investment into this corporation. Investigator DIRKS was advised by
Mr. SMITH that he would supply the necessary documentation for that
line of credit which is ongoing with the Midway National Bank of St.
Paul.
Investigator DIRKS next spoke with Mr. Dennis John HANISH who informed
me that the $75,000 investment on his part is the same situation as Mr.
SMITH which is strictly a financial investment and that the day -to -day
operation of the restaurant will be handled by the ANVARY's and their
manager Mr. John TANGEN. Mr. HANISH again stated that his principal
involvement is that of an investor and overseer of that investment in
his position of Chief Financial Officer. Mr. HANISH informed
Investigator DIRKS that his investment comes from $40,000 which he
borrowed from the Ridgedale State Bank of Minnetonka, Minnesota as well
as $35,000 of personal assets in the way of money withdrawn from his
savings and sale of stock. Mr. HANISH informed Investigator DIRKS that
he would supply the necessary written documentation to substantiate his
investment to me at a later date.
The purchase then of Chuck Muer's Seafood and Tavern by SAH Partnership
is best explained in that there is a $100,000 Contract for Deed with
the seller Chuck Muer's Seafood and Tavern with a $725,000 mortgage
with the First American Bank of St. Cloud this secured by the escrow
account of $300,000 invested by the four principal parties, Mr. and
Mrs. ANVARY, Mr. SMITH and Mr. HANISH for the remodeling of said
property to open up as the La Casita Mexican Restaurant at 2101 Freeway
Boulevard in the City of Brooklyn Center.
Investigator DIRKS next investigated each of the individual parties
involved in the investment starting first with Mr. Behrooz NMN ANVARY,
DOB: 01- 06 -45, residing at 13090 Ottowa Circle, Savage, Minnesota
55378, as well as his wife Michelle Rae ANVARY, same address, DOB: 04-
08 -55. In running criminal checks through Mincis NCIC, North Dakota,
Fargo Police Department
Page 4
Memorandum - Liquor License
Investigator DIRKS
North Dakota, Savage Police Department Minnesota, Brooklyn Park Police
Department Minnesota, Brooklyn Center Police Department Minnesota,
Minneapolis Police Department Minnesota and Hennepin County Sheriff's
Office Minnesota. Additional check done on Michelle ANVARY included
Chippewa County Sheriff's Office Minnesota and Montevideo Police
Department Minnesota. In reference to these criminal checks that were
run Investigator DIRKS could find no record with any of the agencies
listed. Investigator DIRKS did find drivers licenses for both Mr. and
Mrs. ANVARY. Mr. ANVARY having several minor traffic violations, the
most current being 10 -31 -82 and Mrs. ANVARY having no violations.
Investigator DIRKS also at this time had opportunity to speak with
Waite Park Police Department, Chief Ken DICKINSON, in reference to the
La Casita Restaurant which is presently operating within his
jurisdiction. In speaking with Chief DICKINSON he informed
Investigator DIRKS that in doing their liquor license investigation
previously that he came up with no problems in regards to the ANVARY's
and he indicated that the establishment since operating for
approximately 18 months to two ears o a a
PP Y in his community has run very
Y Y Y
good restaurant what
g he describes as a family type of atmosphere with a
Mexican cuisine and Mexican atmosphere. Chief DICKINSON indicated that
he has no reports of problems with the liquor establishment and at no
time have they been investigated in reference to any kind of
violations. Chief DICKINSON informed me that when they opened up the
restaurant that they did approximately $200,000 in remodeling and that
it has become one of the most popular restaurants within his
jurisdiction.
Chief DICKINSON indicated that it was run as he referred to it as a
clean ship nd that
p he wished all of his establishments were run as
well. Investigator DIRKS questioned Chief DICKINSON in reference to
any entertainment being offered at this restaurant and he informed me
that there was none that it was basically a Mexican motif with good
food and the emphasis being on the food and then offering liquor as a
sideline to that dining atmosphere.
Investigator DIRKS also had contact with the Fargo Police Department
where I spoke with Sergeant Marvin HUCKLE who informed me that he has
been working for over four years in narcotics and liquor violations and
that in reference to the Mexican Village Restaurant which Mr. ANVARY
still has interest in that they have never had any problems to his
knowledge and specifically in the last four years he knows of no
investigations in reference to that restaurant. Sergeant HUCKLE
informed Investigator DIRKS that the Mexican Village Restaurant has to
be at least 15 maybe 16 years old and that it is a family run operation
and him having the most knowledge of Ben ANVARY the brother
Page 5
Memorandum - Liquor License
Investigator DIRKS
of Behrooz ANVARY.
Sergeant HUCKLE informed Investigator DIRKS that it is basically a
family restaurant as far as atmosphere and that its mainstay again is
the Mexican cuisine and that the liquor is sort of a sideline to that
dining experience. Sergeant HUCKLE informed Investigator DIRKS that
the ANVARY family has been very much involved in civic affairs and
that they are very quick to donate or jump in if the City needs
assistance on something without any kinds of questions being asked on
the part of the ANVARY's and that if someone needs help they are more
than willing to do so. Sergeant HUCKLE informed me that an example of
that is that he knows Ben ANVARY very well through the YMCA which he
is quite involved with and that Ben is also very active in the YMCA in
the Fargo area. In reference to negative information Investigator
DIRKS was unable to determine any through either Sergeant HUCKLE of
the Fargo Police Department or Chief Ken DICKINSON of the Waite Park
Police Department in Minnesota. These are the two establishments
which Mr. ANVARY is presently involved with.
Investigator DIRKS next had opportunity to have an interview with Mr.
and Mrs. ANVARY to get some background information in regards to their
involvement in the restaurant business. Investigator DIRKS was
advised then by Mr. ANVARY who is a naturalized citizen that he came
to this country in 1969 and that after doing so he and his family
opened a restaurant in 1973 at Fargo, North Dakota, that being the
Mexican Village Restaurant which he is still part owner of. Mr.
ANVARY informed Investigator DIRKS that during the course of owning
that restaurant he became involved in several other restaurants which
they opened around Fargo and the Grand Forks area in which he had
interest in. Mr. ANVARY at this time also advised Investigator DIRKS
that he and his brothers have always been involved in activities within
the community and have always strived towards having their restaurant
and facilities add to the community rather than detract.
Mr. ANVARY informed Investigator DIRKS that in 1979 a building was
purchased by he and his brothers and donated to the City of Fargo for
an art museum. Mr. ANVARY also advised Investigator DIRKS that in
1981 to 1982 they were twice running Employer of the Year in the City
of Fargo and that they were heavily involved in the hiring of
handicapped persons in their restaurants to aid and assist those
parties in leading useful and productive lives.
In talking with Mr. ANVARY he informed me that he had been involved in
a number of restaurants so Investigator DIRKS questioned him as to
other restaurants owned and he informed me that in 1979 to 1981 he
along with his brother Fred were involved in the purchase of a
Page 6
Memorandum - Liquor License
Investigator DIRKS
restaurant in Fargo called the Paradiso, again a Mexican Restaurant,
which he sold out to his brother in 1981. Mr. ANVARY advised
Investigator DIRKS he was also involved with a couple other investors
by the name of John VAN BUSH and Tom NESTOR who operate the Mexican
Village in Mankato in which they invested in that restaurant which he
has since sold his stock in. Mr. ANVARY advised me that also from
1977 to 1978 they operated the La Campanna Mexican Restaurant in Grand
Forks, North Dakota which he sold his interest in in 1978.
Previously Mr. ANVARY was also involved in a restaurant in the Twin
Cities area in the City of Fridley where he owned stock in 1984 to
1985 this being a public owned company, T. R. McCoys, this being the
first investment that he was involved with with Mr. HANISH and Mr.
SMITH whom he met through his stockbroker who is the brother to Mr.
HANISH working for Merrill Lynch in Fargo. Investigator DIRKS then
talked with Mr. ANVARY about his relationship with Mr. HANISH and Mr.
SMITH and he informed me that they were investors both involved in the
stockmarket and Mr. SMITH also being the ownership of a car dealership
and that they involved themselves in a number of financial investments
and that due to his knowledge in the restaurant business and their
knowledge of finances that they were logical choices to work together
with in obtaining other restaurant locations. Mr. ANVARY informed me
that after the original investment in 1984 to 1985 which he then sold
his stock in of T. R. McCoys that he has since been looking for other
investment possibilities. The first one being his moving into the
Waite Park area near St. Cloud where he opened the La Casita
Restaurant approximately two years ago and now wishing to expand his
restaurant business by the opening of the La Casita Restaurant here in
Brooklyn Center with the purchase of the property from Chuck Muer's
Seafood and Tavern.
Investigator DIRKS in reviewing the information given by Mr. ANVARY
and talking with the Police Departments in which these restaurants
were previously owned by him Investigator DIRKS could come up with no
negative comments in reference to any of the establishments Mr. ANVARY
has been involved with. It should be noted that all of the
restaurants that he mentioned are still operating with some of the
original investors involved and appear to be doing quite well.
Investigator DIRKS after receiving this information from Mr. ANVARY
also had information corroborated by Mr. SMITH and Mr. HANISH and that
each of them has advised me that they are basically financial
investors and that their background is in that of the stock market and
that they have both worked for John KINNARD and Company in securities
and sales for a number of years. Mr. SMITH presently being a Vice
President and Member of the Board of Directors as well as Vice
President of Quality Lincoln Mercury.
Page 7
Memorandum - Liquor License
Investigator DIRKS
In speaking with Mr. SMITH then and Mr. HANISH they informed me that
their involvement with Mr. ANVARY and Mrs. ANVARY is in that they run a
quality restaurant business and that with their management of this new
facility they see it as a great financial opportunity for themselves as
well as the ANVARY's and it is for that reason that they are investing
in this endeavor.
In reviewing the information received Investigator DIRKS sees a long
line of involvement by Mr. and Mrs. ANVARY in the restaurant business
and a clear understanding on their part of the business that they are
involved in and see their operating of this new restaurant as a plus to
the City of Brooklyn Center.
Investigator DIRKS next ran the criminal history checks on the
applicant Dennis John HANISH, DOB: 05 -22 -44 as well as his wife Carol
Jean Marie HANISH, DOB: 12- 09 -47. These checks being run through
Mincis NCIC, Illinois, Florida, North Dakota, Bismarck Police
Department North Dakota, Minneapolis Police Department and Hennepin
County Sheriff's Office as well as Minnesota driver's license and
Florida driver's license checks, since their present residential
address listed is in the State of Florida. In running these checks
Investigator DIRKS received no criminal histories for either Mr. or
Mrs. HANISH and found a conex file only in the State of Minnesota for
Dennis John HANISH showing violations in the way of a speeding ticket
in 1981 and notification being made to the State of Florida in 1983
indicating a Florida driver's license. There were no criminal records
found in reference to Mr. or Mrs. HANISH through the agencies
checked with.
Investigator DIRKS ran criminal histories next in reference to Phillip
Gary SMITH, DOB: 04 -08 -48 as well as his wife Nancy Jill SMITH, DOB:
08- 10 -52. Checks run being Mincis NCIC, Tennessee, Knoxville Police
Department Tennessee, Bloomington Police Department Minnesota, Edina
Police Department Minnesota, Minneapolis Police Department Minnesota
and Hennepin County Sheriff's Office Minnesota as well as Minnesota
driver's license checks. In reference to the criminal histories
Investigator DIRKS found no criminal history through any of the
agencies checked with on either Mr. or Mrs. SMITH. Investigator DIRKS
in running the drivers licenses found each to have a valid Minnesota
driver's license. Mrs. SMITH having no violations and Mr. SMITH having
one speeding violation on 04- 06 -87. Both indicating the address that
they reside at as 5700 Lois Lane, Edina, Minnesota.
Investigator DIRKS in continuing the investigation of these parties due
to Mr. and Mrs. ANVARY being out of the immediate metro area and Mr.
HANISH and his wife being out of state could only do a residential
Page 8
Memorandum - Liquor License
Investigator Dirks
check on the investor Phillip SMITH and his wife Nancy SMITH by
checking their address at 5700 Lois Lane in Edina, Minnesota.
Investigator DIRKS did check the neighborhood and found it to be a
very upper class neighborhood with the residents being in the $200,000
plus thousand dollar valuation and found that Mr. and Mrs. SMITH kept
their residence very neat and orderly. In an attempt at contacting
the next door neighbor of Mr. SMITH Investigator DIRKS at the time I
was in the neighborhood found no one home. It is obvious from the
neighborhood though and the condition of Mr. SMITH's home that he
takes a great deal of pride in the ownership of his property in the
way that it is maintained.
Investigator DIRKS then in completing the backgrounds in reference to
the four basic stockholders of SAH, Incorporated can find nothing that
would indicate any reason to decline license to the applicants.
Investigator DIRKS would like to point out that all of the information
that I received in regards to Mr. and Mrs. ANVARY from the parties
spoken to in regards to the operation of the restaurants that they
have had holdings in or presently still have interest in was all
positive and that in talking with the business associates of Mr. SMITH
and Mr. HANISH that everything in regards to them has been positive.
It should be noted that Investigator DIRKS in checking on Mr. SMITH
and Mr. HANISH in their holdings which they still have interest in
that being T. R. McCoys in the City of Fridley I spoke with Chief Jim
HILL as well as Investigator ROBINSON of the Fridley Police Department
who informed me that this is a 50's motif restaurant which
Investigator DIRKS personally observed along with Investigator
ROBINSON so I would have firsthand knowledge of the establishment.
Investigator DIRKS in speaking with Investigator ROBINSON and Chief
HILL did learn that the ownership has been very good and that they
have had good management through the course of ownership in the City
of Fridley and that they have had no problems with the establishment
conforming to State Law Ordinances and their own guidelines. Chief
HILL did inform Investigator DIRKS that there has been a number of
promotional moves done by the restaurant and that all of those have
been done very well and that any time it would infringe upon parking
of their neighbors etc they would have contact with the Police
Department to ensure that they not have any difficulties and so that
anything that may infringe on a neighbor could be handled by them
correcting the problem. According to Chief HILL they have had no
problems with the license since it was let to T. R. McCoys and that
the ownership to the best of his knowledge has been extremely
cooperative with the Police Department in running a very clean and
efficient restaurant.
Page 9

Investigator Dirks
Investigator DIRKS would note that the motif is described as a 50's
type hamburger restaurant and that it is very neat, clean and well
maintained. Investigator DIRKS would like to point out at this time
that it is also an establishment that the ANVARY's originally were
investors in and helped with the planning and opening of the
restaurant.
Investigator DIRKS next had opportunity to complete the background
investigation of the on -site manager that being John Reginald TANGEN,
DOB: 10- 23 -47. Investigator DIRKS in doing so did have opportunity to
run criminal history checks on Mr. TANGEN, those checks including
Mincis NCIC, St. Cloud Police Department, Waite Park Police
Department, Stearns County Sheriffs Office, Chisago County Sheriffs
Office and Taylor Falls Police Department. Investigator DIRKS in
checking those departments finds no criminal history in regards to Mr.
TANGEN. Investigator DIRKS in checking his Minnesota driver's license
find that his license is valid with no violations listing his present
address as 380 Park Meadows Drive, Waite Park, Minnesota 56387.
Investigator DIRKS also had opportunity to speak with Chief DICKINSON
of the Waite Park Police Department in reference to Mr. TANGEN and he
informed me that Mr. TANGEN had worked at the restaurant prior to the
purchase of it by Mr. and Mrs. ANVARY when it was still called
Esteban's Restaurant.
Chief DICKINSON informed me that he at that time knew Mr. TANGEN as a
bartender there and that he informed me that he had never had any kind
of problems with Mr. TANGEN. Chief DICKINSON informed Investigator
DIRKS that he believed Mr. TANGEN to have some interest in the
establishment presently but that it may be just that he is the manager
of the restaurant but that he is definitely the one that he deals with
in reference to the establishment in that any promotions etc that they
need to have permits requested that the contact is by Mr. TANGEN to
his office. Chief DICKINSON informed Investigator DIRKS that Mr.
TANGEN runs an extremely efficient and well maintained establishment
and that in the management of the restaurant in his community that he
has been very successful. Chief DICKINSON informed Investigator DIRKS
that he does not know of any problems with Mr. TANGEN in operating
their restaurant and that they have very little call for service there
and that any problems that must or may arise in a liquor establishment
which can happen with all must be handled by him and that they have
few calls to the restaurant.
According to Chief DICKINSON he informs Investigator DIRKS that Mr.
TANGEN is one of the better people he has to deal with in reference to
the operation of a liquor establishment. Investigator DIRKS in
talking with Mr. and Mrs. ANVARY about Mr. TANGEN they informed me
Page 10
Memorandum - Liquor License
Investigator Dirks
that he was one of the only people maintained after they purchased the
Esteban's Restaurant and remodeled it into La Casita in Waite Park.
Mr. ANVARY informed me that he has been a very very good employee for
him and that he thinks highly enough of him in that he is bringing him
to Brooklyn Center to open up this new store. Mr. ANVARY indicated
that he does know Mr. TANGEN previously to have had a problem with
alcohol and that he is a recovered alcoholic who has not had a drink
for many years. Mr. TANGEN is very highly thought of by Mr. and Mrs.
ANVARY and they inform me that they would trust him with any of their
holdings.
Investigator DIRKS in reviewing the application of Mr. TANGEN does
find that he worked for the Esteban's Restaurant from March 1982 to
April 1986 when it was sold to Mr. ANVARY and has worked for Mr. and
Mrs. ANVARY since that time as manager of the restaurant in Waite
Park. It is obvious from the recommendation Mr. ANVARY who is his
present employer that Mr. TANGEN is very well thought of by him in
that he is trusting him with running the newest establishment which he
will be opening which will be a considerably large investment for the
ANVARY's as well as the other two investors Mr. SMITH and Mr. HANISH
and that there is approximately $300,000 in remodeling alone going on
above the cost in making the purchase from Chuck - Muer's Seafood and
Restaurant.
In completing the background on Mr. TANGEN Investigator DIRKS did make
attempts at contacting the listed supervisor of Bob TANNER for the
Esteban's Restaurant with no success. Investigator DIRKS did have
opportunity to contact the listed personal references though by first
speaking with Mark MAGNUSON by placing a call to his place of
employment. Mr. MAGNUSON is an accountant who has been a long time
friend of Mr. TANGEN knowing him since about 1978 to present. Mr.
MAGNUSON informed Investigator DIRKS that he knew Mr. TANGEN while he
was still a student and that he has known him as a friend and has
socialized with him on many occasions. Mr. MAGNUSON informed
Investigator DIRKS that he knows Mr. TANGEN from being a bartender and
manager at Esteban's and later being the manager at La Casita
Restaurant in Waite Park. According to Mr. MAGNUSON that since he has
become management and working for the ANVARY's that Mr. TANGEN is what
he calls a workaholic in that he is married to his job and that he
spends many many hours what he describes as an extraordinary number of
hours working in his restaurants. Mr. MAGNUSON informed Investigator
DIRKS that he feels that you could not find any better employee and
that he is very dedicated and hardworking when it comes to the running
of the restaurant as if it was his own property.

Mr. MAGNUSON informed Investigator DIRKS that he originally met Mr.
TANGEN when he was bartending atEsteban's and that he got to know him
through softball in that Mr. TANGEN had been a manager and coach for a
softball team that Mr. MAGNUSON had played on. Mr. MAGNUSON was
questioned about Mr. TANGEN's problem with alcohol and he informed
Investigator DIRKS that he knew that there had been some problem but
that it had been such a long time since Mr. TANGEN had had a drink
that he knows personally that the problem no longer exists and that
Mr. TANGEN has not had a drink for many many years. Mr. MAGNUSON
stated that he could think of no reason why Mr. TANGEN should not be a
manager of the restaurant in our city and he informed me that he
thought he would be an excellent choice for that job in that he is so
dedicated to his employer and in the operation of the restaurants that
he is involved with.
The next reference spoken to was Richard WEST, Attorney at Law, of
1350 Montrose Boulevard, Buffalo, Minnesota, business phone 682 -1343.
Investigator DIRKS had opportunity to talk with Mr. WEST by telephone
informing him of the nature of the call at which time Mr. WEST
informed me that he had known the applicant, John TANGEN, since
approximatley 1975. Mr. WEST informed me that he at that time was
going to school in St. Cloud and that he knew Mr. TANGEN through the
bar business as he himself had been working part time as a bartender
and bouncer in different establishments around the St. Cloud area
while attending college. Mr. WEST stated that he had played on a
softball team in which Mr. TANGEN was the manager /coach and that he
knew Mr. TANGEN personally and that his knowledge of TANGEN was that
as far as employment he had always been working in the bar business
except for a short period of time when he worked as a car salesman for
a Chevrolet Dealership in the St. Cloud area.
Mr. WEST informed me that Mr. TANGEN's parents were involved in the
pharmaceutical business he believed in the State of Wisconsin but that
he believed John had never been involved in that business. Mr. WEST
informed Investigator DIRKS that he knew that John had been married
for awhile to a woman Mr. WEST described as being a high roller type
and that TANGEN had divorced this lady some time ago and to Mr. WEST's
belief it was for the better. Mr. WEST informed Investigator DIRKS
that he thought Mr. TANGEN was a very responsible individual and that
he knows that for a long period of time now that he has not taken any
alcoholic beverages due to a believed chemical problem that Mr. TANGEN
felt he had. Mr. WEST stated that he was not aware of the problem as
far as him making an actual observation but evidently Mr. TANGEN felt
he had one and that for many many years now he has not taken a drink.
Mr. WEST stated that he knows Mr. TANGEN presently to be an extremely
Page 12
Memorandum - Liquor License
Investigator Dirks
hard worker and indicated that Mr. TANGEN while working at Esteban's
prior to it changing hands had increased the volume of business while
he was the bar manager there. Mr. WEST stated that he then continued
as manager when the new ownership took over and it became La Casita
Mexican Restaurant and that the restaurant grew even greater after the
remodel and changeover and he attributed much of this success to the
management of Mr. TANGEN. Mr. WEST stated that he could think of no
negative comments to make about Mr. TANGEN and that going back on his
knowledge of Mr. TANGEN the only negative thing that possibly could
have come up would have been his drinking but that that has been a
problem since dealt with many years ago and that as far as he could
comment presently he knew of no possible problem with Mr. TANGEN as a
manager of this restaurant and in fact indicated that he thought Mr.
TANGEN would be an asset to the community in that he is such an
extremely hard worker and conscientious about the running of his
restaurants.
Mr. WEST stated that he could see no reason that the Police Department
would have for not wanting Mr. TANGEN to be the manager of this
restaurant as he felt that he would be a real asset to our community.
In talking with the references then Investigator DIRKS was able to
reach two of three. The reference I was unable to reach was Thomas
ISAACSON who is an Elementary teacher in St. Cloud. There being no
answer at that number after a number of attempts were made to contact
him.
Based on the information received by the references and the
information received by Mr. ANVARY Investigator DIRKS can see no
reason why Mr. TANGEN wouldn't be a conscientious and hard working
manager of the La Casita Restaurant. Based on the information
received from all parties interviewed Investigator DIRKS feels that
Mr. TANGEN will abide by City Ordinances, State Statutes and City
Policies in reference to the running of this restaurant and feels that
he will be more than accessible to the Police Department should any
problems develop. Investigator DIRKS feels that Mr. TANGEN will also
be as the owners Mr. and Mrs. ANVARY appear to be from their
background investigations very willing to cooperate with the City in
regards to any matters that may come up in regards to the running of
their restaurant.
In summation of this liquor license investigation Investigator DIRKS
feels that the financial arrangements involving the purchase of the
business and the remodeling have been adequately investigated to
determine where the finances have come from. In addition Investigator
DIRKS feels that the background investigations run on each of the
Page 13
Memorandum - Liquor License
Investigator Dirks
parties having financial interest in the company and the on -site
manager have indicated nothing that would restrict them from being
able to apply for a liquor license in the City of Brooklyn Center and
receiving one. Investigator DIRKS also feels from talking with
personal references and working associates of the parties involved
that the information n I have been able to put together indicates that
the restaurants that they are currently involved with are well run
establishments that have been assets to the communities in which they
operate and abide by all laws governing them.
Investigator DIRKS at this time then makes a recommendation that the
City of Brooklyn Center strongly give consideration to the issuance of
a license to SAH, Incorporated to operate La Casita Mexican Restaurant
at 2101 Freeway Boulevard in the City of Brooklyn Center.
