RESOLUTIONS (CONTINUED)
The City Manager presented a Resolution Approving Preliminary Layout Plan for
Improvement of County Road 10 between Northway Drive and Shingle Creek Parkway
and Designating Said Improvement as Improvement Project No. 1987 -23. He noted
this matter was discussed at the October 5, 1987, City Council meeting and
tabled with a request for additional information. The Director of Public Works
said the written report presented to the Council this evening answered most of
the questions asked by the Council at its last meeting, but he was willing to
answer any additional questions of the Council. Councilmember Lhotka questioned
the method in which the use of box culverts would be made in this project. The
Director of Public Works said a major requirement is to provide a wide shoulder
so as not to create a safety problem. Councilmember Lhotka asked for further
explanation, and the Director of Public Works said it is necessary to prevent
vehicles that
go out of control from fallin g into the culvert. Councilmember
Lhotka asked if this proposal is the only design that can be built, and the
Director of Public Works responded affirmatively, adding this is what is
necessary to meet the State aid standards. Councilmember Lhotka asked if this
proposal is required whenever a box culvert is built. The Director of Public
Works responded affirmatively, y, noting that given the design criteria, including
the number of cars using the road and the speed limit, this is the requirement.
Councilmember Lhotka asked what the additional cost is of installing a railing,
and the Director of Public Works said the wall with a railin g will cost between
$100,000 and $150,000. Councilmember Lhotka asked who decides
what the
standards will be, and the Director of Public Works said the State aid division
of the Minnesota Department of Transportation makes these decisions.
Councilmember Lhotka asked if the project will not be done in 1988, and the
Director of
Public Works said it will not be at least from the indications
> ati ns
given by the County.
Councilmember Theis asked if the Council should consider the underground
electrical service at this time, and the Director of Public Works said there
should be separate consideration for this. He suggested the Council should
approve the resolution
PP before them this evening and then make motions directing
g g
staff to proceed with the electrical wiring and landscaping projects.
Councilmember Theis agreed that the Council needs to decide on what to do with
the culvert now, and the other issues can wait. The City Manager said some
things must be coordinated at the time the project is constructed.
Councilmember Theis asked if the relocation of the pipe is included, and the
Director of Public Works said it is a matter of staff returning to the City
Council with a final design. He added staff does recommend a below ground pipe.
Councilmember Lhotka asked if the preliminary approval is with the pipe below
ground, and the Director of Public Works responded affirmatively.
RESOLUTION NO. 87 -195
Member Rich Theis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION APPROVING PRELIMINARY LAYOUT PLAN FOR IMPROVEMENT OF COUNTY ROAD 10
BETWEEN NORTHWAY DRIVE AND SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY AND DESIGNATING SAID
IMPROVEMENT AS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1987 -23
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Celia Scott, and the motion passed with Councilmember Lhotka opposed.

Manager said it is the safest way to store gasoline. Councilmember Lhotka asked
if this was part of the original plans, and the City Manager responded
affirmatively.

Garcelon's Addition to Minneapolis that Part Lying No of S 30 Ft Thereof, noting
this land is located just north of 5450 Lyndale Avenue North. The HRA
Coordinator identified the location of the 4' strip, and noted the market value
has been established by the City Assessor. The City Manager said the land will
be purchased using monies from the utility fund. Councilmember Scott asked why
such a small piece of land existed in the first place, and the HRA Coordinator
said it was for a sign. There was discussion about the location of this piece
of property.
RESOLUTION NO. 87 -198
Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:

The City Manager presented a Resolution Ordering a Public Hearing on a
Resolution of Intent to Organize Collection of Refuse within the City of
Brooklyn Center and Inviting the Participation of Interested Persons in Planning
and Establishing the Organized Collection System. The City Manager said this is
a first step in the process of achieving the mandated goal of reducing by 16%
the refuse at land fills. He added other communities are proceeding in a
similar manner. The resolution on the table this evening is to set a public
hearing, and the deadline to have a plan adopted is January 1, 1988. The City
Manager noted Brooklyn Center has waited in order to observe the experiences of
Crystal and Brooklyn Park in the process cess be
fore proceeding. in Councilmember P g ember Scott
asked if all of the City's licensed haulers will be notified of the public
hearing, and the City Manager responded affirmatively. Councilmember Scott
asked if licensed haulers in other cities around Brooklyn Center will be
notified, and the HRA Coordinator said adequate notification will be made.
Councilmember Lhotka requested clarification of the process involved. The City
Manager said a public hearing will be held followed by a decision on which
alternate to pursue, which will then be confirmed by a resolution passed by the
Council to select that alternate. Councilmember Lhotka asked if one public
hearing is sufficient, and the HRA Coordinator said the public hearing will
start a 90 day clock running, in which time the City may receive input.
Councilmember Hawes asked how many licensed haulers there are in Brooklyn
Center, and the HRA Coordinator estimated there are seven residential and twelve
commercial haulers. Councilmember Hawes asked if the same haulers will handle a
specific area and pick up several times each week. The HRA Coordinator said the
haulers would form a co -op and have designated routes in the City to pick up
from one time a week. Ultimately, he said the goal is to have trash picked up
at one stop for the land fill, recycling, and composting. He noted there are
many ways to accomplish the goal and the idea is to do everything one day a
week.
Councilmember Hawes asked if there is any thought to having one large container
for garbage, and the HRA Coordinator said this is an Lion still being
option
addressed and
these and other options will be ironed
P out over the next 90 days.
Councilmember Hawes asked if Hennepin County is going to build a new plant for
burning refuse, and the HRA Coordinator responded affirmatively, although he
does not know where this plant will be. The City Manager added that until this
plant is built, the City will have to rely on land fills and recycling.
Councilmember Theis expressed concern over having a number of haulers picking up
at the same time on the same day, resulting in having a number of trucks driving
up and down the street in a neighborhood at the same time. The City Manager
suggested there would be one hauler in a given area for recycling.
RESOLUTION NO. 87 -199
Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
10 -26 -87 _5_

ORDINANCES

Ordinances Regarding Charitable Gambling, noting this ordinance was first read
on September 14, 1987, published in the City's official newspaper on September
24, 1987, and is offered this evening for a second reading. He added this
should be considered concurrently with An Ordinance Amending Chapter 11 of the
City Ordinances Regarding Liquor License Establishments, which was first read on
September 14, 1987, published in the City's official newspaper on September 24,
1987, and is offered this evening for a second reading also.
Councilmember Hawes said he received a letter from Bob Spies of the Lions Club,
who said there are ten to twelve potential sites for pull tab operations in the
City; Councilmember Hawes asked if this is accurate. The City Manager responded
affirmatively, saying each facility with a liquor license is eligible. Mayor
Nyquist said Mr. Spies could not be at the meeting this evening, but he requests
a grandfather clause for the Lions Club to include three locations. The City
Manager said there should be special action authorizing a third site or the
ordinance approval should be delayed. Councilmember Lhotka said he is having a
hard time understanding why three sites are needed. Councilmember Theis said he
was not in support of this when it started, but would feel comfortable if the
wording were changed to say if another organization wants one of the three
locations, the Lions Club should be willing to give up one of its locations. He
suggested laying over this item so the proper wording can be developed on item
13 of the ordinance. The City Manager suggested a public hearing be held first.
Councilmember Hawes asked for clarification on which site would be given up if
an organization is allowed to begin with three sites.

The City Manager presented An Ordinance Amending Chapter 25 Changing the Name of
County State Aid Highway No. 10 between Trunk Highway No. 100 and the West
Corporate Limit to Bass Lake Road, noting this item is offered for a first
reading this evening. He said the purpose of this ordinance is to clarify for
the post office the official addresses along this roadway, and this will require
official City action. The Director of Public Works said the first option is to
rename the road from the western City limits to T.H. 100, and the second option
is to rename the road across the City. Mayor Nyquist said he prefers the second
option because it will help to identify the roadway from the freeway. The
Director of Public Works pointed out there will still be a section between the
freeway and the Mississippi River that will not be renamed.
Councilmember Theis asked if all businesses along this roadway would have to
change addresses, and the Director of Public Works said some would, but there
would be a transition period to switch from three names for one street to one
name for one street. Councilmember Theis asked what type of notification of the
public hearing there will be, and the Director of Public Works said there will
be notification of the proposed ordinance in the newspaper as required, and he
also suggests notifying all the property owners abutting this roadway. Mayor
Nyquist pointed out that most of the residential areas have addresses on the
north -south streets. The Director of Public Works said the person who made this
request recently moved to the City and had checked with the post office on the
correct address. The post office gave three alternatives, and after the
individual opened his office and used the address of Bass Lake Road, the post
office would not deliver mail to him. The City Manager recommended sending
notices to property owners in the area. Councilmember Scott said property
owners must definitely be notified, and she has first -hand experience on what it
10 -26 -87 -8-
is like to have a street name changed. Councilmember Lhotka suggested if this
change does go through, the post office should be notified. The City Manager
said the post office definitely will be notified.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Theis
to approve for a first reading the second option of An Ordinance Amending
Chapter 25 Changing the Name of County State Aid Highway No. 10 to Bass Lake
Road and setting a public hearing date for November 23, 1987, at 7:30 p.m. The
motion passed unanimously.

Commission at its October 15, 1987, meeting. The Director of Planning and
Inspection referred the Mayor and City Council to pages three and four of the
October 15, 1987, Planning Commission minutes and informational sheet attached

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 said this item was originally considered by the Planning
Commission at its July 16, 1987, meeting and tabled. It was also considered and
tabled at the August 13, 1987, meeting. This item was recommended for denial by
the Planning Commission at its September 3, 1987, meeting. A public hearing was
opened at the September 14, 1987, City Council meeting, continued to the October
5, 1987, City Council meeting and also to this evening's meeting. The City
Manager said the City Council asked staff to prepare documents to adopt an
iterim ordinance establishing a moratorium on certain residential facilities,
and these are before the City Council this evening. He added the City Council
did pass a first reading of the moratorium ordinance at the last meeting, and a
second reading on the moratorium ordinance will be held tonight, as well as the
continuance of the public hearing on Planning Commission Application No. 87012.
He pointed out the moratorium ordinance requires a majority (three votes in
favor) for City Council passage of the ordinance. Finally, he said he received
input from citizens and met with three representatives from the citizens group
prior to this evening's meeting.
Mayor Nyquist asked if the application is to be included in the moratorium, then
should the Council pass the ordinance first, and the City Manager responded
affirmatively. Councilmember Lhotka asked about the issue regarding additional
staff people, and the City Manager said this request is included in the special
use permit conditions drafted October 22, 1987. Councilmember Lhotka asked for
clarification from a representative of the Bill Kelly House regarding the
staffing issue. Mayor Nyquist recognized Susan Lentz, attorney with the Legal
Aid Society of Minneapolis and representing the applicant. Ms. Lentz said the
applicant, Mr. Norton, is willing to add staff and is comfortable with the
language arrived at in the conditions. She added she felt it would be
inappropriate to have anything stronger than "strongly recommend" on the
staffing levels in the special use permit conditions.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Martha Shipp from Hennepin County Health Division, who
said she is supportive of additional staff; however, until the Hennepin County
Board votes on funding, she cannot say definitely whether or not something will
happen. en. Councilmember Lhotka
pp asked if there is an y language other lan ua e to use other
10 -26 -87 -10-
than "strongly recommends ", and the City Manager said it is difficult to use
anything else because of the restrictions on the City's jurisdiction.
Councilmember Lhotka said even though some of this may be outside of the realm
of the City, he does not understand why stronger wording cannot be placed in the
conditions if the applicant agrees to it.
The City Attorney said the only precedent on this issue regarding staffing
levels shows State regulation preempts any standards the City may set.
Councilmember Lhotka pointed out if the applicant makes statements on how they
will operate, then it would become a condition for approval. The City Attorney
pointed out the legal justification for this condition is not the same as for
all other conditions because some are not beyond City authority. He said there
is precedent for the conclusion that the staffing area is outside of the City's
jurisdiction. Councilmember Lhotka said he would like to be able to set
conditions on required staffing levels dependent on availability of funding from
the State and Hennepin County. Ms. Lentz said a condition could be that
provided the County and State provide funding for two positions, there would be
no objection to having two staff people. She added this is clearly outside of
the City's jurisdiction.
Councilmember Theis expressed concern over what can be done to have speedy
approval of the conditions prepared and agreed upon by the applicant and City
staff. If conditions are not agreed upon, he is not convinced City ordinances
sufficiently address this type of housing and the ordinances maybe need
revision. Councilmember Theis asked what conditions are necessary so the
applicant will do what they say they will do. Ms. Lentz said the applicant has
met with City staff and the City Attorney to discuss the conditions, and funding
is beyond the control of the applicant. The conditions have been agreed to in
good faith. Councilmember Theis asked when it will be known what fundin g is
available, and Ms. Lentz responded it may be 45 days before the County acts on
funding. She added the applicant is in agreement on all other conditions for
the special use permit.
Councilmember Lhotka left the table at 8:48 p.m. and returned at 8:50 p.m.
Councilmember Theis noted the conditions have been agreed upon, and it is
getting to the point where there are more concrete comments than earlier on, and
a great deal of time has been spent on this application. He added the applicant
feels some things are not enforceable by the City. The City Attorney said
because of a court ruling, staff has recommended from the outset language
regarding staffing levels to be "strongly recommended" because of the question
of enforceability. He said all other conditions are likely to be enforceable,
and they are more likely to be enforceable because of agreement of the
applicant. He cannot guarantee if one of the conditions is violated by the
applicant, that revocation could be enforced. He feels the conditions are
realistic and reasonable because enforceability has been considered.
Mayor Nyquist said he has doubts about enforceability of some of the conditions
and asked what "significant current likelihood" refers to in condition 18a.
Mayor Nyquist also pointed out throughout the conditions "intentionally cause
harm" is mentioned, and he said his understanding is these people are not
capable of forming intent. He asked for clarification of what "significant
10 -26 -87 -11-
current likelihood" is. Ms. Lentz responded saying there has been a tendency to
confuse those persons involved in the defense of insanity in criminal hearings
with those getting treatment for mental illness. She said it would be erroneous
to think Bill Kelly House residents could not be held responsible for intent,
and added mental illness in the clinical sense does not mean suffering from
insanity as it does in the criminal justice system. Ms. Lentz said the purpose
is to keep clear the distinction between accidents and intentional incidents.
There was some discussion over the meaning of the word "intent." Mayor Nyquist
asked Ms. Lentz from.a legal standpoint if she would accept "any harm caused by
other than accidents." Ms. Lentz said she does not think this is problematic.
Councilmember Hawes asked for interpretation of "significant current likelihood"
in condition No. 18a. Mayor Nyquist recognized Richard Ellis, Director of Bill
Kelly House, who said there are many factors to consider. He gave an example of
someone who has been part of family physical abuse, has been in treatment, but
has not completed it. Councilmember Hawes asked what recourse the City has when
the applicant says something is not significant. Ms. Lentz said a facility has
legal obligations to protect other residents and will be careful about whom to
accept and whom to keep because it could lose its license to operate if the
residents are endangered by other residents. Councilmember Hawes asked about
the legal obligations to the residents of the City and Ms. Lentz said the
conditions are there to protect both groups of people.
Councilmember Hawes expressed concern about having residents of the Bill Kelly
House getting out to playgrounds and businesses in the community and striking
out against citizens. He asked if the Bill Kelly House could be held
responsible for these actions. Ms. Lentz said it is a legal question which
depends on whether or not there is negligence by the Bill Kelly House. She said
the Council has heard testimony that people with mental illness are not violent
and there are mentally ill people in the community right now who are more likely
to be dangerous to the community than the residents at the Bill Kelly House who
are receiving treatment. Councilmember Hawes pointed out that mentally ill
people in the community are spread out and there are not 23 of them in one
location.
Councilmember Theis asked if the liability insurance of the Bill Kelly House is
strictly for acts of its staff or for residents of the Bill Kelly House. Ms.
Lentz referenced an attachment which describes the insurance required to be
maintained by the County contract. Councilmember Theis repeated the question to
the City Attorney who said there could be acts by the residents of the Bill
Kelly House that the Bill Kelly House would not be responsible for and would not
have insurance coverage. Councilmember Theis asked if an insurance policy would
cover the acts of the residents if the Bill Kelly House put a rider on the
policy naming the residents of the house as additional insured. The City
Attorney said he supposed the Bill Kelly House could purchase insurance for the
residents, but he is not sure what it would include and most likely intentional
acts would be excluded. Ms. Lentz said the population at the Bill Kelly House
is a rou of disabled people g P p p and a slew of conditions should not be imposed on
them which other residents of the community are not expected to have, such as
the insurance requirements.

Mayor Nyquist then recognized Jill Sherritt, 5237 Drew Avenue North, who said
she is here representing the neighborhood. Ms. Sherritt said the Bill Kelly
House has a careful admissions policy; however, she has obtained a purchase of
service agreement with the County and the State which says the residents have
certain specified problems. In addition, in the period from July 1985 to June
1986, 62 clients were admitted and 75.8% failed to complete the program. The
average number of days a resident stayed at the house was 72. From 1986 to
1987, 70% of the residents failed to complete the program. Ms. Sherritt asked
where these clients are going and why so many are leaving. Ms. Sherritt
referred to a recent report to the Minnesota Legislature that says such
facilities as the Bill Kelly House do not have sufficient staffing. She
referenced a University of Maryland report which noted these programs are new
and not enough data is available on them. She emphasized there is not a good
track record with such facilities. Ms. Sherritt raised the issue of property
values and said the burden of proof is on the Bill Kelly House to show property
values will not decrease. She noted there have been shabby surveys and reports
submitted by the applicant which are not applicable to this facility. A study
completed by the mental health law project says such facilities drastically
affect property values. Mayor Nyquist cited a recent court case from Florida
which evaluated property for the purpose of eminent domain. He said fears, even
though they may be unreasonable, do affect property values.
Ms. Sherritt noted the residents conditions for approval were overlooked by the
Bill Kelly House. Councilmember Lhotka asked if the City Attorney had an
opportunity to review these conditions, and Ms. Sherritt responded
affirmatively, for at least all but three of them. Ms. Sherritt said she has
fear the City will overlook the conditions and down the road additional
residents will be admitted if the State allows an increased number of residents.
She said the neighborhood does not feel comfortable with the staffing levels for
evenings and weekends.
Councilmember Hawes said he wishes to act on the moratorium because he has too
many unanswered questions. Ms. Lentz said a great deal of time and effort has
been spent on developing the conditions, and it would be unfair not to make a
decision because this has been a long process. She said it would be a shame to
hang a hat on the property value issue. In addition, she said she has not seen
the conditions cited by Ms. Sherritt because they were not given to the
applicant. Ms. Lentz said the City Council should keep in mind that at this
point, the applicant may have to evaluate the moratorium as possibly being Y P Y g a
denial of the application. Mayor Nyquist pointed out the study on property
values submitted was for one year following the opening of a facility, and it
was for mentally ill and not drug dependent residents. Ms. Lentz disagreed with
the Mayor and said she feels property values will not be affected.
A resident of 5142 France Avenue North said although the conditions would not
allow the Bill Kelly House to admit anyone coming from the criminal justice
system, it may happen that the State says the house would have to accept such
residents in order to receive funding. As a result, the condition would not
mean anything. Councilmember Lhotka pointed out the list of conditions has been
agreed upon by the applicant, but the residents said the State could change
things at any time. Councilmember Lhotka said although the State may change its
requirements, the Bill Kelly House would have a special use permit in Brooklyn
10 -26 -87 -13-

Center for a certain number of residents. The resident read a State definition
of mentally ill which says these people cannot manage themselves, which
conflicts with what Ms. Lentz said earlier. Mayor Nyquist recognized a resident
of 5130 Ewing Avenue North, who said Ms. Lentz said most people at the Bill
Kelly House are not prone to violence. He asked what percentage are. Mr. Ellis
pointed out the admission criteria does not allow for accepting violent persons.
Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on 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 and inquired if there
was anyone present who wished to speak at the public hearing. No one requested
to speak and he entertained a motion to close the public hearing.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Hawes
to close the public hearing on 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.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Scott
to close the public hearing on 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 motion passed unanimously.
Councilmember Theis asked what vote is required of the City Council for the
passage of both the Planning Commission Application and the Ordinance. The City
Attorney said three votes in favor of the moratorium ordinance are required and
three votes in favor of the Planning Commission Application are required for
passage. Councilmember Theis said with advice of the City Attorney on the
method of handling this and the chances of success if the City Council were to
deny the application, he feels the City would be doing the citizens of Brooklyn
Center and the mentally ill persons who come into this area a disservice if the
application is outrightly denied. In addition, if the moratorium does not
succeed, the City may lose man o
y y y f the conditions agreed to by the Bill Kelly
House. As a result, Councilmember Theis said he encourages approval of the
application with the conditions and not to include the Bill Kelly House in the
moratorium.
There was a motion by Councilmember Theis and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka
to approve 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

Councilmember Lhotka asked the City Attorney if language more substantial than
"strongly recommends" can be added to the 9th condition. The City Attorney
suggested some language that would be contingent upon receiving adequate funding
from the State and the County. After some brief discussion, Councilmember
Lhotka suggested leaving the 9th condition as recommended by Councilmember Theis
in his motion. Mayor Nyquist said he will oppose the motion because much of the
discussion centers around the mentally ill, but in this case the applicant is
dealing with mentally ill and chemically dependent persons. As a result, he
would like time for obtaining better data.

Upon vote being taken on the foregoing motion, the following voted in favor
thereof: Councilmembers Lhotka, Theis, and Scott; the following voted against:
Mayor Nyquist ist and Councilmember Hawes. y yq s. The motion passed.
There was some discussion about the length of time the moratorium ordinance
should be effective. The City Attorney said the ordinance, as it is currently
written, provides for a six month period of a moratorium. It was recommended
that the period of time be changed to twelve months.
ORDINANCE NO. 87 -16
Member Celia Scott introduced the following ordinance and moved its adoption,
with the exception of changing the term of the moratorium from six months to
twelve months:

The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Gene Lhotka, and the motion passed unanimously.
GAMBLING LICENSE - DUOOS BROTHERS AMERICAN LEGION
The City Manager presented a gambling license application from Duoos Brothers
American Legion Club, noting the police department recommendation for approval
of this is favorable and the management of the facility has made progress in
correcting any past problems. Mayor Nyquist said he is bothered by the hand
holding of the police department to carry the Club through the process. The
City Manager pointed out since the situation was last resolved there have not
been many problems at the Club, and the police department has only had to make
three visits there. Councilmember Theis asked if there would be another
opportunity to review and /or revoke the gambling license when it comes up for
renewal in 12 months, and the City Manager responded affirmatively.
Mayor Nyquist asked if the Club's articles of incorporation and bylaws have
changed from the last time around, and the City Manager said he is not sure.
However, the police department reports the management is headed in the right
direction in handling any problems. Mayor Nyquist asked who is on the legal
committee for the Club, and the City Manager said he does not know. Mayor
Nyquist recognized a representative from Duoos Brothers American Legion Club,
10 -26 -87 -18-
who responded saying there is not a legal committee right now. Mayor Nyquist
pointed out a legal committee is listed in the bylaws, and his comfort level is
not very high with this application. Councilmember Lhotka said he does not have
a tremendous problem going along with the application, as long as the applicants
understand with the next infraction by the Club, the Club will not exist because
there will be no liquor license for it.
There was a motion
by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Theis
to approve the amblin license for D
uoos Brothers American
g g Legion. Mayor
Nyquist requested a list of names of all committee members of the Club. Upon
vote being taken on the foregoing motion, the motion passed with Mayor Nyquist

with Mayor Nyquist abstaining.

approve a class D liquor license for LaCasita Restaurant. Councilmember Lhotka
asked for clarification of the class D license, and the City Manager noted it is
the most expensive license. Upon vote being taken on the foregoing motion, the
motion passed unanimously.

Attached is a resolution accepting the work performed under Contract 1986 -Q,
Earle Brown Farm Streetscape, Improvement Project No. 1986 -21, Phase III,
Streetscape Nodes.
This work completes all of the Streetscape Nodes except the node at the South
intersection of Summit Drive and Earle Brown Drive.
The node could not be included because the property owners were unwilling to
dedicate an easement for an improvement that would in anyway obstruct the
visibility of the Davanni's sign. Without right of way, this work was deleted.
Supplemental Agreement No. 1 covered the cost of modifying the Perkins sign when
its location conflicated with parking lot lighting and it also covered the cost
of moving and reconstructing the Park Nicollet fence.
Accordingly, I recommended that City Council adopt the attached resolution.

RE: Approving Supplemental Agreement No. 2, and Accepting Work
Contract 1987 -E, Improvement Project No. 1987 -03
Brookdale 16 Inch Water Main
Attached is a resolution accepting the work performed under Contract 1987 -E,
Brookdale 16 inch Water Main, Improvement Project No. 1987 -03.
This project had two serious legal problems - a Temporary Restraining Order by
the second low bidder and a work suspension required by the owner of the
property crossed by the project.
Supplemental Agreement No. 1
The second low bidder, Northdale Construction, Inc. requested and received a
Temporary Restraining Order in District Court on March 26, 1987. The order was
the result of the City waiving irregularities in the bid proposal of the low
bidder. The court dissolved and vacated the order on April 8, 1987 and denied a
temporary injunction related to the matter. While the court's action enabled
the City to proceed to award the contract, the City's contractor then requested
reimbursement for the costs of placing a rush order on the pipe, so the section
of the project thru Centerbrook Golf Course could be completed without delaying
construction of the golf course. That request was approved (Supplemental
Agreement No. 1), and the City has filed a claim for damages against Northdale
Construction for reimbursement of that amount.
Supplemental Agreement No. 2
According to the developer of the Mainstreet site, time was critical because the
work on the Mainstreet site had to be completed by June 1, 1987. In the first
two weeks of March we thought we had concluded negotiations for the easement
across the Mainstreet site. The easement dedication had been a condition of the
Preliminary RLS approval January 26, 1987. The attorney for Mainstreet had
forwarded the easement to the property owner, Equitable Real Estate Shopping
Centers, L.P.

During the months of February and March, Mainstreet's attorney, Ms. Mary Senkus,
assured the City that Equitable had the easements and would soon execute them.
We finally insisted that Mainstreet declare its intentions regarding the
easement dedication. On April 3, 1987, we received the attached letter from Ms.
Senkus and the April 2, 1987, letter from Equitable's attorney (copy attached)
which stated that Equitable would grant the easement subject to only two
conditions. The City immediately agreed to those requested changes and
requested Ms. Senkus to process the easement with those changes included.
After the initial notice of approval, I called Ms. Senkus at least twice weekly
to get the status of the easement. The reports showed progress. First there
were issues related to the Mainstreet lease that delayed the easement but by
the last week of April, we were advised that the easement was with Equitable and
would be in our hands soon. The first week of May we were advised that
Equitable had approved the easement but the document could not be located in the
New York office.
On April 30, 1987, the City was advised that the Temporary Restraining Order had
been dissolved. We immediately set May 4, 1987, as the dare of the
Preconstruction Conference at which 0 & P was notified to proceed. This was 35
days after the contract was signed on March 30, 1987.
On May 5, 1987, the City's contractor started work on the watermain. Given the
fact that Mainstreet needed the work completed by June 1, 1987, it was necessary
to start in order to complete the work on time.
On May 5, 1987, the dewatering contractor installed the dewatering system on the
Mainstreet site. On May 11, 1987, the pipe boring contractor set up a jacking
pit on the Mainstreet (Equitable) property because that terminus of the T.H. 100
I
crossing had a buried high voltage electric line to cross. At noon May 12,
1987, Equitable's property manager Chris Cummins advised the City hat the Cit y
q P P y g
y
and its agents had commenced construction of a watermain before any right or
easement has been agreed upon or granted. The City was first told to remove all
equipment and personnel and that the City's trespass jeopardized the grant of
the easement.
After discussion of this matter with the property manager and Equitable's
attorney, it was agreed that the City could leave the dewatering system and a
"steam shovel" in place as long as the City ceased work, barricaded the
construction area, and indemnified Equitable (copy attached).
A Resumption of Work Order was issued to 0 & P Contracting at 7:00 A.M., June 3,
1987, (copy attached).

Overall Proiect Completion:
There were a number of quantity reductions in the project because some of the
anticipated restoration at the golf course and the Mainstreet site was not
required. This saved $10,430.00 in restoration costs.
We found more stable conditions at the golf course than anticipated and saved
$4,997.00 in soil correction costs.
The balance of quantity changes were related to pipe, fittings and
appurtenances. Those changes saved $3,668.61 in contract costs.
Summary and Recommendations:
Our conclusion is that the claim covered by Supplemental Agreement No. 2 is
justified and is recommended for approval.
It is therefor recommended that City Council adopt the attached resolution
approving Supplemental Agreement No. 2 and accepting work performed under
Contract 1987 -E.

Supplemental Agreement No. 1 covers the cost of top soil and seeding used along
the entire length of the trail. This restoration work was not included in the
original contract.
The balance of the increase is due to an under estimation of trail quantities,
due in part to the fact that quantities were established from aerial phtographs.

Attached is a resolution accepting the work performed under Contract 1987 -K,
Dallas Road Reconstruction, Phase III, Street Improvement Project No. 1985 -12.
This work completes the repair of the Dallas Road pavement which failed soon
after original construction due to a combination of poor soil and ground water.
The final quantities overran the planned quantities because the pavement removal
units were incorrect and because additional bituminous was required.
The additional bituminous was required when a 480 foot strip of pavement could
not be salvaged as planned.
It is therefore recommended that City Council adopt the attached resolution.

RE: Rehabilitation of Wellhouses 5 and 6
(Project 1987 -20)
In accordance with authorization granted by the City Council on
September 1, 1987, the architectural firm of Roger Johnson - Richard Smith
Architects, Inc. has conducted a detailed survey and evaluation, and has
submitted a report (copy attached) in which they recommend that corrections be
made, and provide cost estimates for this work.
At our request, the architects have considered two alternatives relating to
Wellhouse No. 5 and three alternatives relating to Wellhouse No. 6. These
alternatives, and the architect's cost estimate for each are summarized as
follows:
Wellhouse No. 5 (located at 70th Avenue and Camden Avenue)
Alternate Description Cost Estimate
A Repair existing structure retaining
existing roof profiles $ 9,600.00
B Replace entire roof structure with
new roof configuration $10,800.00

Alternate Description Cost Estimate
A Repair existing structure, retaining

B Replace entire roof structure with

retaining the existing configuration
of the balance of this building) $33,700.00
C Replace entire roof structure
with a new roof configuration
while removing the garage portion
of the building $35,800.00
* Note: In the attached memo dated November 2, 1987, the architect clarifies his
intention that those portions of the "flat roof structures" that are retained
would actually be "terraced" so as to avoid any areas where the water would
stand on the roof.
Recommendations:
After staff review at this report, it is our recommendation that we proceed with
this »
project, using Alternate A for Wellhouse No. 5 and Alternate A -2 (see
Plate No. 4 of the architects' report) for Wellhouse No. 6.
Accordingly, we have requested the architects to submit a proposal to prepare
construction plans and specifications, and to provide construction supervision
for this project. A copy of their proposal is attached.
Emergency repairs have been made to those portions of the roof on Wellhouse No. 6
which failed in August of this year. This will allow the architect adequate
time for proper development of the construction plans and specifications, and
will allow the City to receive bids in late winter or early spring, (which is
the time of year when contractors are normally most competitive) and to complete
the project during the summer of 1988.
The attached resolution accepting the report and accepting the architect's
proposal is recommended for consideration by the City Council.

Re: Brooklyn Center

Dear Mr. Knapp:
This will clarify the comments in our report dated October 19, 1987
regarding flat roofs which we discussed in our telephone conversation
last week.
The reference to flat roofs should have read flat roof structure. It
would be our intention to provide either a terraced or sloping roof
surface through varying thicknesses of insulation over a flat roof
structure for positive drainage to the roof scuppers and to avoid any
areas where water would stand on the roof. We have found that both
systems work well. On a small roof area such as this project, the
terraced roof would most likely be the most economical.

Re: Architectural /Engineering Services

Dear Mr. Knapp:
In response to your telephone call of October 27, 1987, we are
pleased to submit the following proposal for the final design,
contract documents, bidding and construction stage services for
the repair of Wellhouses No. 5 and 6.
The scope of the work as discussed and as covered by this proposal
will include the following:
- Complete bid documents and specifications for competitive
bidding based on proposals A and D of our report dated
October 19, 1987. These proposals are based on retaining and
repairing the existing roof structures.
- Bidding services including Addenda and pre -bid meeting at the site.
- Drafting of construction contracts.
- Processing of pay requests.
- Pre - construction meeting at site.
- One site visit and construction report at three hours.
- Final review and punch list.
We would propose to do this work on a lump sum basis for the fee
of $6,400.00. This fee includes the additional time requested for
a pre -bid and pre- construction conference. These are unusual for
a project of this size but may be necessary due to the complexity
of the project. We would propose to handle the printing and
mailing as a reimbursable at the rate listed below rather than to
attempt to estimate this cost. Additional trips to the site
authorized by the City's representative or work beyond the scope
discribed above would be billed on an hourly basis. Hourly rates
would be the same as those used for the preliminary studies which
are:
Principals $75.00
Draftsmen $38.00
Clerical $32.00

room, a pump room, an office (now used for storage), a two stall
garage, a small toilet room and a wide hallway formerly containing
lockers. The building contains 1935 square feet. The chemical room
has an outside entrance with no interior connection to the rest of the
building. The balance of the building has entrances into the office
area and the pump room.
The building construction consists of the following components:
- Concrete slab on grade - no floor finishes.
- Concrete block walls (interior and exterior) on concrete
block foundations and reinforced concrete spread footings. Interior
surfaces are painted. Exterior is covered with vertical redwood
siding on 3/4" furring strips. Walls are not insulated.
- Side walls at the sloped roof areas are wood stud construction with
Medium Density Overlay plywood on the exterior and 5/8" gypsum
wallboard on the interior with a paint finish. The M.D.O. plywood
i
j
is both the sheathing and exterior finish material. Building paper
indicated on the drawings to be installed behind the plywood was not
present at any of the test holes. A vapor barrier and 3 1/2" unfaced
fiberglass insulation were noted in the wall.
Roof Construction
- Flat roofs - 2 x 8 wood joists with plywood sheathing and built up
roofing. Interiors are 5/8" gypsum wallboard painted. A vapor
r barrier is present behind the gypsum wallboard and the joist space
has 6" unfaced fiberglass insulation.
- Sloped roofs - 2 x 8 rafters with plywood sheathing and asphalt
shingles. Interior surface is 5/8" gypsum wallboard painted with a
vapor barrier and 6" unfaced fiberglass insulation in the rafter
space.
- The roof structure is quite complex consisting of flat roof areas,
sloped roof areas sloping to the exterior and a pair of sloped roofs
draining to an interior valley. (The latter roof area will be
referred to as a butterfly roof in this report.)
- Exterior doors are wood. Door frames are wood with the exception of
the Chemical Room door frame which is hollow metal.
- Garage doors are flush wood with hardboard faces.
- Windows have insulating glass in wood frames. Clerestory windows are
fixed and low windows are casements.
The building is undergoing deterioration in the form of peeling siding
on the high sidewall areas, damaged gypsum wallboard, deteriorated
plywood roof sheathing, etc. Many of these items can be attributed
- directly to condensation or leakage. Other items noted are more likely
the result of natural aging and wear or causes unrelated to moisture.
Specific items are as follows:
A. Exterior
1. Exterior siding is in reasonably good condition. There is some
weathering and splitting and a few open joints. The redwood
material is a high quality finish and only minor repair work would
be necessary to make it serviceable for an extended period.
2. M.D.O. plywood fascias and soffits are spalling, generally in poor
- condition and in need of replacement.
3. Nearly all windows in the building are cracked or broken. Glass on
the interior lite of the chemical room is etched from chemical
action and is no longer transparent. Some windows have been
covered with plywood on the exterior and interior. Clerestory
windows in the pump room which face south contribute to heat build
up and overload the air conditioning in the summer.
4. Entrance doors to the main structure are deteriorating and have
wood strips attached to the bottom to cover holes or deterioration.
The door to the chemical room is in better condition. Wood door
frames are gouged and worn but generally serviceable. The hollow
metal frame at the chemical room has some rust but could be cleaned
and repainted.

S
A�
l
5. Sidewalls at the high roof area are severely deteriorated with
spalling surfaces and delamination. Plywood is weakened and
unsound and in need of replacement. Below the clerestory windows
in the Chlorine Room at the north wall the M.D.O. plywood is
completely rotted. Circle vents have been added in a number of
areas in the side walls to attempt to relieve moisture.
6. Flat roof areas have no slope, have a low gravel stop and one
scupper on each roof. Debris on the roof indicates that the water
stands on the roof after a rain. The flat roof at the west end has
a large hatch for pulling the well casing. Flashing at sidewalls
is 4 1/2" high which places the bottom of M.D.O. plywood very close
to the wet roof surface. Flat roof areas appear solid and do not
bounce. Metal flashing is in good condition for its age. Base
flashing at the juncture with high sidewalls is bubbled for its
entire length and is dry and brittle. No open joints were noted.
7. West flat roof has a patch approximately 2' x 4' where plywood was
nailed over an area where the roof caved in. Plywood is sealed
with roofing cement but is not roofed over. Patch is located just
south of the centerline of the roof adjacent to the high sidewall.
It was reported that the cave -in occurred during heavy summer rains
when water built up along the high sidewall. Condition was checked
b
from the interior and revealed a hole 16 " wide y 24" long where
the 1 wood roof sheathing is completely deteriorated and
p Y g
crumbling. This deterioration is the result of long term,
continuous wetting and it is expected that the deterioration could
extend some distance beyond the hole although no "soft" spots were
detected on the roof around the patch. The top edge of joists in
this area appeared to have some deterioration which if continued
would affect their strength.
8. Sloped roof areas are very springy and bounce noticeably when
walked on. Shingles are worn and cupped and in need of
replacement. -
9. The saddle noted on the drawings to drain water from the butterfly
roof valley is almost non-existent and no more that 1" - 1 1/2"
high. Built up roofing in this valley extends up sloped roofs and
under shingles. This roofing has a bubble with a crack in the
north slope which can admit water to the interior.
10. The clerestory window head was not constructed as detailed. The
continuous screen vent was omitted and circle vents installed at
each rafter space. Additional circle vents were installed in the
Nall below windows. These appear to have been added at a later
date.
11. Circle vents have been added in the sidewalls of the butterfly roof
on the east face.
12. Metal roof edge flashing on the shingle roof laps over the top of
the shingles rather than the shingles lapping over the flashing.
This condition was not detailed. The condition as installed would
permit driving rain to run under flashing and into wall areas
below.
i
g � r
i
13. Sloped roof over
p garage which drains to the north terminates in a
built in gutter. The gutter is lined with sheet metal and no
deterioration was noted. Gutters of this type tend to freeze up
and resultant ice dams can cause water to back up under shingles.
14. Screen walls are located at the north wall in line with the north
face of the chemical room and at the southwest corner in line with
the west face of the pump room. Posts supporting the screen wall
are rotted off at grade and steel posts have been added to support
the end not attached to the building. The reporter was advised
that the screen walls have been a problem as they obstruct vision
from the street. This has lead to vandalism and other problems.
B. Interior
1. Interior concrete block surfaces are generally in good repair.
Some minor cracking was noted but very little repair is needed
except for specific items noted below.
2. Gypsum wallboard surfaces on ceiling and at interior face of high
sidewalls at sloped roofs have areas of deterioration. These are
primarily at junctures of walls and ceilings, around windows, and
at junctures of sloped roofs and flat roofs.
3. Test Hole A (Plate No. 1)
- Evidence of water infiltration or high humidity.
- No evidence of deterioration of joists or plywood deck.
- Building paper behind M.D.O. plywood is missing.
- Joist header is badly stained.
- Interior face of M.D.O. plywood stained.
- Top end (1' -4 ") of joist is stained.
Joist headers have 1 +/- diameter holes drilled through the
header.
No light was visible and it could not be determined if
the interior holes aligned with the exterior circle vents.
4. Window frame at clerestory windows in chemical room are
deteriorated at corners and at sill. Damage appears to be from
standing water from condensation from glass.
5. Test Hole B (Plate No. 1)
- Water streak stains on ceiling extend to ceiling wall juncture
and continue down wall.
- Joists and insulation are dry.
- Sheathing nails which missed joists are totally rusted.
- Joist space completely filled with insulation - no vent space.
Construction allows 5 3/4" space over top of wall for 6"
insulation.
- - Detail required complex cut of rafter end at bearing plate so
rafters lap plate, permitting gypsum wallboard ceiling to meet
C.B. wall without exposed plate. GWB does not have an edge bead
and is calked to concrete block wall.
- Chemical lines run between pump room and chemical room over top
of C. B. wall between rafters.
6. Test Hole C (Plate No. 1)
- No deterioration of joists or plywood deck.
- No sign of moisture such as rusted nails or joist hangers.
i
- Insulation in wall area below top plate is wet.
- Interior face of M.D.O. plywood is wet below top plate.
- Building paper indicated on the drawings was not installed behind
M.D.O. plywood.
- Joist headers have 1" +/- diameter holes drilled through the
header. No light was visible and it could not be determined if
the interior holes aligned with the exterior circle vents.
7. Juncture of flat roof to butterfly roof at area where roof deck
collapsed. (Plate No. 1)
- Joists are spaced 5 1/4" apart.
- Plate for vertical side wall is resting on one joist as
deteriorated plywood in area does not transfer any load to the
adjacent joist.
- Plywood roof deck is totally disintegrated.
- Some deterioration of joists. Additional stripping of roof will
be necessary to determine if joists are sound or must be
replaced.
- Gypsum wallboard in area of leak is badly damaged.
8. Test Hole D (Plate No. 1)
- Vertical wall does not rest on top of double 2 x 14 beam as
detailed (9/3). Bottom plate aligns with bottom of double 2 x
14. Support of wall is questionable but no settlement was noted.
- GWB joint is deteriorated and failing the entire width of the
II� room.
-
The bottom half of the wall plate is water stained.
- Insulation in flat roof joist area is damp.
- Plywood deck on flat roof area is wet and delaminating.
- No building paper on interior face of M.D.O. plywood.
9. Test Hole E (Plate No. 1)
- 8" joist with 1/2" plywood deck above, 6" unfaced fiberglas
insulation, vapor barrier, and 5/8" gypsum wallboard.
- No signs of moisture, staining or deterioration.
- No rust on steel beam.
- Blocking over beam is solid without cutouts for ventilation.
Openings for ventilation were called for on drawings (10/3).
10. Test Hole F (Plate No. 1)
- Plate at top of wall is 3/4" and does not appear to be treated.
- 3/8" diameter anchor bolt does not have washer or nut to anchor
plate down.
- Insulation, plywood and joists are dry.
- Some staining on joists from rusted nails.
- No vent to exterior in joist space as detailed (17/5).
11. Floor slabs in the building are generally in good condition except
for conditions noted below. Settlement of the slab is occurring
along the south wall of the office, the south wall of the corridor
at the south side of the garage and at the toilet. Settlement is
located in the area of the underfloor duct and is up to 1 1/2 ".
This settlement is most likely due to improper compaction around
the under floor duct. The sidewall register in the west wall of
the toilet has dropped with the slab leaving a void at the top of
�, the register of 1/2" ( +/ -),
12. The floor slab in the garage is settled along the south and west
walls. Concrete steps between the garage and office (west wall and
southwest corner) have voids between the steps and the slab.
13. There are cracks in the concrete block on the east wall of the
garage. The worst cracking is near the north end and extends from
the floor to a height of approximately 6'. Cracks generally follow
mortar lines. Some other minor cracking was noted but areas near
the floor were generally unaccessible due to stored materials.
14. The Office, toilet and pump room are heated and air conditioned by
a Bryant, down -feed, forced -air furnace which is located in the
southwest corner of the hallway south of the garage. All ductwork
is located under floor. The Chemical Room has a separate unit
heater.
15. The structural systems have been reviewed with the following noted:
a. The 6 WF 15.5 beam which supports the juncture between the flat
and sloped roof area over the office (Detail 10/3) is
marginally adequate. This beam could deflect under loads and
could result in some spring in the roof.
b. The double 2 x 14 beam below the clerestory wall in the office
does not check out for the imposed loads. If adequately tied
to the double 2 x 12 at the top of the clerestory windows the
coupled action would check out. It is questionable if these
beams are adequately joined as the condition at the double
2 x 14 is not constructed as detailed.
c. The snow drift load on the flat roof north of the clerestory,
which was not a requirement at the time the building was
constructed, would overstress the double 2 x 14 .
d. Framing at the roof hatch is marginal and some deflection could
be expected under loads.
e. The balance of the joists in the structure are adequately
sized. The springy condition noted in the sloped roof areas is
not a concern and could be due to beam deflection and not the
rafters.
WELLHOUSE NO. 5
Wellhouse No. 5 is located at the corner of 70th Avenue and Camden
' Avenue. The location is at the southeast corner of Evergreen Park.
The building encompasses 608 square feet. It is indentical to the pump
room and chemical room of Wellhouse No. 6 but does not have the office
area or the garage. Both rooms have direct entrances from the
exterior. Construction materials are identical to those used in
Wellhouse No. 6.
The roof is divided into four quadrants with the northwest and
southwest corners being flat and the northeast and southwest quadrants
having shed roofs sloping to the east and west respectively. The
southeast flat roof area has a large hatch for pulling the well casing.
The building is generally in better condition than building No. 6, but
( has isolated areas of deterioration.
t
A. Exterior
1. Exterior siding is generally in poor condition. There is a
considerable amount of damage near grade with ends of boards
cracked, or broken. Several louvers in the west wall have been
covered with sheet metal.
2. The wood door and frame at the pump room and the wood door and
hollow metal frame at the chemical room are all deteriorated and in
need of replacement.
3. Screen walls at the north and south entrances have posts rotted off
and are supported by steel fence posts. Screen walls should be
removed and rebuilt.
4. Exterior concrete stoops are cracked and settled. The north stoop
slopes toward the building. Both stoops should be replaced.
5. The sloped roof areas have asphalt shingles. Original details were
identical to those on Wellhouse No. 6 with built in gutters and
metal rake edge flashing which laps over the shingles. The latter
condition has been modified due to a reshingling which covered the
rake flashing. A number of shingles have broken tabs.
6. The flat roof area shows signs of poor drainage. Water appears to
stand against the vertical wall at the clerestory windows.
7. All windows on the building have been blocked up with plywood.
8. The sloped roof areas on this building appear to be solid while
flat roof areas are springy. This is the opposite of roofs on
building #6.
9. M.D.O. plywood does not have spalling to the extent noted on
Wellhouse No. 6 but is in early to mid -stage of deterioration.
The exception is the area below the blocked up clerestory window at
the south end where M.D.O. plywood is totally deteriorated and can
be picked apart with ease.
! 10. The addition of structural members to strengthen the flat roof area
is needed to accommodate drift loading not included in the original
ii design.
B. Interior
1. In the pump room, plywood has been installed over the gypsum
wallboard ceiling and painted. It is assumed that the plywood was
installed due to deterioration of the wallboard. This plywood has
increased the dead load on the flat roof areas which are already
slightly under - designed due to the drift loading condition.
2. It was reported that roof leaks have occurred in the area around
the roof hatch.
3. Inspection holes were checked. At test holes A, D, E and C, Plate
No. 2, the plywood roof sheathing and joists were in good condition
with no sign of deterioration. Nails, where visible are rusted.
At all locations, the 3/8" anchor bolt for the joist bearing plate
is rusted and the washer and nut are missing. (Similar conditions
noted in Wellhouse No. 6). Insulation was dry. Some deterioration
of wallboard was noted. All joists are 2 x 8.
4. The juncture of the flat roof area to the vertical clerestory wall,
Plate No. 2, Condition C, is not constructed as detailed. There is
a
3
3
a double 2 x 12 beam which supports the 2 x 8 joists on joists
hangers. A 2 x 8 rests vertically on the 2 x 12 nearest the
exterior face of the wall. There is a horizontal 2 x 4 member
several inches above the 2 x 8. Exterior siding visible between the
vertical 2 x 8 and the horizontal 2 x 4 is rotted and daylight is
visible through it. The clerestory wall sill plate does not have
any visible means of support. Gypsum wallboard in this area is
deteriorated and insulation is wet.
5. At test hole B, Plate No. 2, all structural members were dry,
insulation was dry and gypsum wallboard showed only minor signs of
deterioration.
SUMMARY
The majority of the deficiencies noted above can be attributed to
condensation problems. These problems are primarily the result of a
lack of ventilation in the joist space above the insulation. In many
cases this is a result of the original design which has a very complex
roof structure with a number of areas where special precautions in
construction were required. In many cases these areas were not
constructed as detailed, compounding the problems inherent in the
design.
Secondary deterioration and damage has resulted from water intrusion
from the exterior. This intrusion most likely occurred more recently
and is a result of deterioration of the materials from condensation to
a point where they can no longer perform their original purpose.

PART II - EVALUATIONS
The Architects were requested to evaluate three possiblities• for the
repairs and restoration of Wellhouses 6 and 5. These are as follows:
a. Repair of the roof structure retaining the existing design.
b. Removal of the original roof structure and replacement with a
new design and all new materials.
c. Removal of the original roof structure and garage.
Installation of a roof with a new design and new materials.
Wellhouse No. 6
A. Repair of the existing structure.
The investigation of the structures indicates that the
existing structural members are sound and serviceable. The
buildings original designs could be retained and the structures
made serviceable for an extended period. The following measures
should be undertaken under this proposal:
1. Remove all interior gypsum wallboard ceilings, vapor barriers
and blanket insulation.
2. Remove all exterior M.D.O. plywood.
3. Remove existing shingles and built up roofing.
4. Remove and replace any deteriorated roof sheathing. This must
be determined after the roofing is removed.
5. Install new roof sheathing as required.
6. Install new roof insulation on the exterior side of the roof
sheathing.
7. Install new shingles over a plywood nail base on the sloped
roofs and an adherred EPDM membrane roof on the flat portions.
Create saddles and slope insulation for positive drainage of
all roof areas.
8. Replace all entrance doors and frames with new insulated hollow
metal doors and hollow metal frames. Use
galvanized or
stainless steel material at Chlorine Room.
9. We would recommend that the roof structure be left exposed on
the interior as this is not a finished space. The interior
of the exposed structure should be painted off - white.
10. Block up windows not required for operation of the facility.
_ Windows needed or desired should be replaced.
11. Patch siding and restain entire building exterior.
12. The structure in the area of the roof hatch and at the
clerestory in the office area should be "beefed up" by the
installation of additional joists at the roof hatch and
connection of the double 2 x 14 to the double 2 x 12 at the
office clerestory. Installation of a sloped roof to eliminate
the clerestory at the north side of the office would eliminate
the drift load and take the excess load off the double 2 x 14.
Refer to Plate No. 3. A second alternative to eliminate
f additional flat roof areas is shown on Plate No. 4.
f
13. The addition of insulation at the exterior walls would be
desireable but would require removal and replacement of all
exterior siding. The cost effectiveness of this is marginal
considering the relatively good condition of the siding.
Placing insulation and GWB on the interior walls of the pump
room and chlorine room is not recommended.
B. Replace entire roof structure
1. Strip entire roof structure from the top of concrete block
walls up.
2. Replace sill plates with new treated sill plates.
3. Install new roof structure of a new design. See Plate No. 5.
It is presumed that the roof structure would be sloped with the
possible exception of a flat roof in the area of the hatch. An
attempt would be made to simplify the structure to enable use
of a shingle roof with conventional attic insulation. In this
alternative we would recommend the installation of a new gypsum
wallboard ceiling with a vapor barrier and insulation above.
4. Replacement of the entire roof structure would most likely
include elimination of the clerestory lighting and the
associated problems with the ventilation and sidewalls.
5. Replace all entrance doors and frames with new insulated hollow
metal doors and hollow metal frames. Use galvanized material
at Chlorine Room.
6. Block up windows not required for operation of the facility.
Windows needed or desired should be replaced.
7. Patch siding and restain entire building exterior.
t
C. Replacement of roof structure and removal of the garage.
1. This
scheme would include all elements of scheme B above plus
the additional items listed below. Plate No. 6 shows removal
of the garage while retaining most of the existing structure.
Plate No 7 includes a new roof structure along with removal of
the garage.
2. Removal of the garage would result in the footings at the east
wall of the office portion of the building being above the
frost depth required by code. This would require underpinning
the existing footings or as an alternative, removing and
rebuilding the entire east wall with footings at frost depth.
Portions of the east wall such as the area across the corridor
do not have footings. Underpinning or removal and rebuilding
of the east wall would be expensive.
3. New siding to match existing would be required on the east wall
and the entire building should be repainted.
4. The forced air furnace for heating and air conditioning for the
s
structure is located in the portion of the structure which
would be removed. This would require removal and relocation of
the furnace into the portion of the structure to remain. We
have not investigated the condition of the furnace but based on
[ its age, replacement rather than relocation may be prudent.

Wellhouse No. 5
D. Repair of the existing structure.
1. Remove all interior gypsum wall board ceilings, vapor
barriers and blanket insulation.
2. Remove all exterior M.D.O. plywood.
t 3. Remove existing shingles and built up roofing.
4. Remove and replace any deteriorated roof sheathing (which
must be determined after the roofing is removed).
5. Install new roof sheathing as required.
6. Install new roof insulation on the exterior side of the
roof sheathing.
7. Install new shingles over a plywood nail base on the sloped
roofs and an adherred EPDM membrane roof on the flat
portions. Create saddles and slope insulation for positive
drainage of all roof areas.
8. Replace all entrance doors and frames with new insulated
hollow metal doors and hollow metal frames. Use galvanized
material at Chlorine Room.
9. We would recommend that the roof structure be left exposed
on the interior as this is not a finished space. The
interior of the exposed structure should be painted
off - white.
10. Block up windows not required for operation of the
facility. Windows needed or desired should be replaced.
11. Replace all exterior siding. Install new furring and add
rigid insulation to the exterior of the structure behind
the new siding. The exterior finish should be selected to
resist damage and vandalism, based on the conditions noted
at the present structure.
12. Replace concrete stoops at both entrances.
13. Remove and replace or eliminate the screen walls at the
entrance.
E. Replace entire roof structure.
1. It is our opinion that the replacement of the entire roof
structure on this building is not required, even if a
different design is desired. Portions of the existing
'- structure should be able to be retained and incorporated
into a modified design. The estimate is based on modifying
the existing structure. Plate No. 8 showed an alternative
which retains the majority of the existing structure.
2. Eliminate all clerestory windows which are currently
blocked up.
3. Replace all entrance doors and frames with new insulation
hollow metal doors and hollow metal frames. Use galvanized
material at Chlorine Room.
4. We would recommend that the roof structure be left exposed
on the interior as this is not a finished space. The
interior of the exposed structure should be painted
off- white.
5. Replace all exterior siding. Install new furring and add
rigid insulation to the exterior of the structure behind
the new siding. The exterior finish should be selected to
resist damage and vandalism based on the conditions noted
at the present structure.
6. Replace concrete stoops at both entrances.
7. Remove and replace or eliminate the screen walls at the
entrance.

PART III - ESTIMATES
At this schematic stage we have not done any detailed estimating.
Estimates included below are rough and should be considered for
comparison purposes only.
WELLHOUSE NO. 6
A. Repair existing structure, retaining existing profile as described
in Part II, Item A above.
Estimated Cost: $24,200
B. Replace existing roof structure in its entirety as described in
Part II, Item B above.
Estimated Cost: $33,700
C. Replace existing roof structure in its entirety while removing
garage portion of the structure as described in Part II, Item C
above.
Estimated Cost: $35,800
WELLHOUSE NO. 5
A. Repair existing structure, retaining existing profiles as described
in Part II, Item D above.
Estimated Cost: $9,600
B. Replace existing roof structure in its entirety as described in
� - Part II Item E above.
Estimated Cost: $10,800
PART IV - RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on our investigations and analysis we would recommend the
following:
WELLHOUSE NO. 6
We recommend that the alternative for repair of the existing structure
be selected as the most prudent alternative. The condition of the
existing structure is such that removal and replacement would be
difficult to justify. This would not preclude modifying some roof
areas to eliminate problems. One could easily justify retaining the
flat roof area in the vicinity of the hatch for ease in working on the
well. With roofing materials available today, flat roof areas could be
tied into the other areas with no problem and result in trouble -free
roofs.
The biggest single factor in eliminating the problems which are
currently being experienced would be the elimination of the insulation
in the joist space. The roof structure is simply too complex to
achieve adequate ventilation of all areas.
We cannot recommend the removal of the existing garage structure. Even
if no current use is in mind for the area, the cost of removal cannot
be justified. The cost to remove the structure and related expenses
exceed the cost to repair the structure in place. If continued use as
a garage is not desired, the space could be converted to storage,
office, or meeting rooms for functions such as athletic associations,
service groups, senior citizens, etc. It would appear a use could be
found for this space.
WELLHO NO. 5
We recommend that the existing roof structure be repaired rather than
removed or replaced. Existing structural members are sound and only
isolated replacement, if any, would be required. The structure would
easily lend itself to some modification while retaining the present
structural members. Retaining the flat roof area at the hatch could
easily be justified for ease in working on the well.
We again feel the biggest factor in eliminating the current problems is
the elimination of the interior ceiling finishes and the insulation in
the joist space which results in a lack of adequate ventilation.

RE: Reconditioning Well No. 6
As a part of routine maintenance we pull our deep well pumps once every 6 or 7
years and inspect and recondition them. The water supply shortage last year
identified pump capacity as a problem we must deal with when we recondition
pumps
The maximum capacity of the eight wells in our system is below the design
capacity. Six of the wells are so far below the design capacity that the
cumulative shortage equals the capacity of one well. This substantial loss of
capacity has been identified using data from the new SCADA System.
> I believe there is a way to optimize production facilities. This may mean
modification of the pumps, motors, or piping at the wells. The work is
specialized and requires considerable experience with pumps, motors and piping.
Short, Elliot, Hendrickson (SEH) has been the City's consultant for traffic and
traffic signal related projects. The firm also has a capable staff of engineers
experienced in solving the water suppy problems we have.
It is estimated that a study to establish the recommended pump changes will cost
$2,000 to $4,000. Only the actual cost incurred by SEH will be billed on an
hourly basis. This arrangement has worked very well for all the other work this
firm has done for the City.
SEH plans to look at all of our wells including Well No. 6, which is scheduled
for maintenance this year.
It is therefore recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution.

CAPACITY STUDY
H. R. Spurrier, City Engineer
City of Brooklyn Center
6301 Shingle Creek Parkway
Brooklyn Center, MN 55430
Gentlemen:
At our meeting on October 21, 1987, we discussed the capacity of
the City well pumps and the fact that during periods of peak
demand the output of the well pumps is less than their rated
capacity. You asked us to study the problem and recommend
solutions. We propose that the scope of the study will be as
follows:
1. Gather existing data on wells, pumps storage and
distribution system,
2. Review the existing data.
3. Operate each well pump alone and record:
Static water level;
Drawdown while pumping;
Flow;
Discharge pressure.
4. Compare field test results to pump data sheet and pump
head /discharge curve.
5. Using Black & Veatch data on well interference calculate
well drawdowns with multiple wells running.
6. Using Black & Veatch distribution system analysis calculate
discharge pressures at wells with multiple wells running.
7. Prepare report making recommendations on individual well
pumps.

We understand that maintenance work on Pump No. 6 will be
performed this winter, therefore we will coordinate our study
schedule with this work.
On October 21, 1987, we were given copies of the following:
a. "Report on Water Works Improvements for Brooklyn
Center, Minnesota" by Black & Veatch, dated May, 1984.
b. Well records for Wells 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
C. Pump Data Sheet and head /discharge curve for Pump No.
9.
d. We il construction, capacity and maintenance history for
Wells No. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
e. Watermain System Map.
The additional information we will need for the study is:
1. Pump data sheet and head /discharge curve for Pumps No. 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
2. Well record for Well No. 9.
3. Copy of Black & Veatch distribution system analysis.
We assume that the City will collect the date for each well pump
as outlined in Item No. 3 of the Scope of Study. The discharge
pressure gauge should be checked for accuracy prior to running
the pumping test. The pump at each well should be run long
enough for the pumping level to stabilize, that should be 2 to 4
hours.
We propose to do the study on an hourly basis plus incidental
expenses at the rates which are attached as Exhibit A. We
estimate the cost of the study to be between $2,000 and $4,000.
We look forward to working with you on this study.

TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Sy Knapp, Director of Public Works
DATE: November 4, 1987
RE: Consideration of Items Relating to Lots 46 and 47, Block 6, Pearson's
Northport 3rd Addition. (i.e. - 5806 and 5812 Halifax Avenue North)
Five items relating to the resolution of conflicts resulting from the intrusion
of the houses located at 5806 and 5812 Halifax Avenue North into the existing
public utility easement are included on the City Council agenda for 11/9/87.
These items and my comments regarding them are as follows:
A. Resolution accepting Engineer's report regarding Storm Sewer Improvement
Project No. 1987 -22.
A copy of the report from the Westwood Planning and Engineering Company is
submitted herewith. This report includes the following two significant
conclusions:
1. The estimated cost for consideration of a 30 inch diameter bypass storm
sewer between the two houses is $19,400. This cost estimate includes
contract costs for construction of the bypass sewer with appurtenances;
contract costs for filling the existing storm sewers, before they are
abandoned in place, so as to prevent future cave -ins; and contract costs
for landscape repairs. This estimate does not include the costs for
construction plan preparation, construction supervision, legal and
administrative costs or capitalized interest costs.
2. The report concludes that, instead of oversizing the bypass sewer, and
oversizing the entire downstream sewer system at the some future date, the
City should construct a "relief storm sewer" following the street system
to "Northport Lake ". It is my opinion that this is an excellent
recommendation, since the problems associated with oversizing or replacing
the existing storm sewers (located in the back yard and on side yards of
16 homes) would be immense. Westwood has estimated that the cost of this
"-'
19ar 1LL r.wmu 0" '-•:t
Consideration of Items Relating to Lots 46 and 47
November 4, 1987
Page two
relief storm sewer will be approximately $250,000 to $300,000. This is an
item that should be considered sometime in the future, in conjunction
with the development of plan for upgrading the City's storm drainage
system, and compliance with the "Metropolitan Surface Water Management
Act" which will require development of a "local plan" complimentary to the
plan now being developed by the Shingle Creek Watershed Commission. Under
the terms of the Surface Water Management Act, that local plan must be
developed by or during calendar year 1989.
In any event, this recommendation eliminates the need to consider
oversizing the currently proposed bypass sewer. I recommend that the
Westwood report be accepted by resolution.
B. Resolution approving agreement for the relocation of a storm sewer within the
public utility easements between Lots 46 and 47, Block 6, Pearson's
Northport 3rd Addition.
Submitted herewith is a draft copy of an agreement between Andrescik,
Rubenstein and the City which I have prepared in consultation with the City
Attorney. It is my belief that this agreement reflects the direction we have
previously received from the City Council; that approval of this agreement
would provide a proper basis for resolution of the existing conflicts, and that
the proposed cost distribution is equitable.
Copies of this proposed agreement are being delivered to Mr. and Mrs.
Andrescik and to Mrs. Rubenstein today (November 4, 1987) in hope that they
will have adequate time to review the proposal and react to it. However, it
may well be that they will need additional time to review the agreement and
to get needed approvals. (I believe that Mr. and Mrs. Andrescik will need
to get the approval of the agreement and the temporary easement from the
lending agency which is providing financing for the people who are buying
their house. Also, both parties may well wish to have their attornies
review the agreement, and Mr. and Mrs. Andrescik need to make arrangements
to provide the financial security required by the proposed agreement).
Accordingly, it may not be possible to proceed with approval of this
agreement at the November 9, 1987 Council meeting. However, I do recommend
that the proposed agreement be discussed at that time so that if changes are
requested by the City Council, they can be made so that the final agreement
can be approved at the November 23, 1987 Council meeting.
C. Ordinance vacating portions of the public utility easements located on Lots 46

D. Planning Commission application No. 87023 submitted by James Andrescik
requesting a variance from section 35 -400 of the zoning ordinance to allow a
zero setback for an attached garage presently built over the side property
line and a storm sewer easement. This item was recommended for approval by
the Planning Commission at its October 15, 1987 meeting.
E. Planning Commission application No. 87024 submitted by James Andrescik
requesting a variance from the subdivision ordinance to allow a land transfer
by metes and bounds division rather than than formal platting. This item was
recommended for approval by the Planning Commission at its October 15, 1987
meeting.
These three items should all be considered in concert with the proposed
agreement. The public hearings should be conducted on November 9, 1987.
However, if the agreement is not ready for approval, adoption of these 3 items
should be tabled - for consideration when the final agreement has been prepared
and executed by the Andrescik's and by Rubenstein.
Respectfully submitted,

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 Iv lecki, 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 Malecki, 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 ivate cost to achieve compliance at this time exceeds
P p
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 Malecki, Nelson, Lernards and
Wallerstedt. Voting against: none. The motion passed.
APPLICATION N0. 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
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. 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 Malecki,. 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 NO. 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. t.r. 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 Rl 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 Rl zoning is recommended in the Comprehensive .Plan. The
Secretary stated that WDOT also owns a number of parcels in that area. Mir.
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
Notion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Nalecki to close the public
hearing. Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Nhlecki, Nelson,
Bernards and Wallerstedt. Voting against: none. The motion passed.
ACTION RECONZENDING APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO. 87025 (John Ditzler)
Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Nalecki 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.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
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 Ordinance 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 1 . 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 stud done an
g y d 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." Yx. 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.
g
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 between the 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
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.
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.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 8702
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 1 46 (5806) and Lot 147 (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 ermit has been issued for a single-family home at the north end of the existing
A g Y g
r
parcel south of t s
p (35 69 h Avenue North) where the proposed Lo t 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:

1. The final lat is subject to review an approval b the Cit
P ,7 d y y
Engineer.
2. The final lat is

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.

INTRODUCTION
In June 1987, the owner of the home located at 5806 Halifax Avenue North
contacted the City of Brooklyn Center to request the vacation of a portion of a
i
drainage and utility easement on his property. Persuant to the receipt of this
request it was discovered that the home at this address had been constructed
over storm sewer pipes which are located in the easement.
In an attempt to modify the storm drainage system to provide a pipe system which
is not located under the home, a relocation of a portion of the storm sewer was
proposed.
In the process of reviewing the proposal to relocate a portion of the storm
sewer system in the vicinity of 5806 Halifax, the decision was made to review
the storm sewer system in the larger area adjacent to this address to assess
reported localized temporary ponding during storm events.
Pursuant to the foregoing, a request was made to report on the following:
o Review storm drainage needs for the drainage area which includes 5806 and
i
5812 Halifax Avenue North as it lies upstream from 58th Avenue
North based on a 10 year frequency storm.
o Review 100 year frequency storm event flood level at catch basins in
front of 5806 and 5812 Halifax Avenue North.
o Design a storm sewer to replace existing storm sewers which lie under the
house at 5806 Halifax Avenue North.
o Prepare an estimate of costs to construct the above listed replacement
r
storm sewer.

RECC"=ATICNS AND CONCLUSIONS
The storm sewer system as it exists at this time in the vicinity of 5806 and
5812 Halifax Avenue North will not accomodate a 10 year storm event without
experiencing ponding at the catch basins located in front of the above addressed
homes. The 10 year design storm event could cause ponding depths of about two
feet at the catch basins in front of these homes. The depth of ponding listed
above is based on assumed adequecy of catch basin inlet capacity to handle the
storm drainage runoff. Present inlet capacity is not adequate, hence the
ponding depths will probably be even greater. (Figures 1 & 2)
3
j A review of the effects of a 100 year design storm event indicates ponding
depths even greater than those stated for the 10 year design event at the catch
basins in front of the subject homes.
The design of a replacement storm sewer to lie between the homes located at 5806
and 5812 Halifax Avenue North, that will carry the same amount of water flow as
the existing two pipes, will require the construction of four manholes and 120
feet of 30 inch diameter pipe. Two of these manholes will be specialized
structures necessary to connect to the two existing pipes. The construction of
this replacement storm sewer will also require extensive landscape removal and
replacement and confined working area construction techniques. (Figures 3, 4, 5)
It is estimated that the above stated replacement storm sewer construction will
cost $19,400. This estimate is exclusive of engineering, surveying, legal and
administrative costs. (Figure 7)

The locational problems of the existing storm sewer at 5806 Halifax Avenue North
can be resolved by t-e constructicn of a replacement sewer system which can
handle an equivalent amount of storm runoff. (Figure 6)
{
The additional problem of pondirg at the catch basins located in front of 5806
and 5812 Halifax can be solved by the replacement of the existing system with
larger pipes or by the construction of additional storm sewers including
additional catch basins in the area. It is recommended that a relief storm
i
3
sewer system be built from the location of its present upstream end at the
intersection of Halifax Avenue and Halifax Place along Halifax to France Place
and then along France Place to Northport Lake. This portion of relief storm
sewer would be constructed using low head pipe up to 48 inches in equivalent
size. The storm sewer pipe located along the common lot line between 5806 and
5812 Halifax could then be eliminated. The elimination of this storm sewer pipe
would allow the remaining rear yard existing pipe system to handle the 10 year
ill design storm in the contribute runoff area. i
contributing (Figure 8)
In addition, it is recommended that extensions of the storm sewer system be made
r
upstream of its present terminus at Halifax Avenue and Halifax Place to
intercept some of the storm runoff from the extremely large area contributing to
the existing catch basins located at Halifax Avenue and Halifax Place. The
inlet capacity of these existing catch basins is extremely inadequate for tre
expected flow from a 10 year design event.

SUBJECT: Charter Amendment Regarding Full -time Fire Chief
The city council authorized a full -time fire chief in the 1988
budget. Certain housekeeping changes in the city charter must be
made before a full -time chief can be hired (see the attached
ordinance amending the charter). Proper procedure is to have the
council refer this amendment to the charter commission for its
review. The charter commission should then recommend that the
city council enact the charter amendment by ordinance. Please
reference section 5.09 of the city charter for further details on
the proper procedure for making a charter amendment.

James M.Strommen amendment. The first involves the initiation of a
,fMld P. Bard n charter amendment by the City Council. Under Minnesota
R. Skallerud Statutes, §410.12, subd. 5. The steps in this procedure
Rodney D. Anderson are as follows:
Corrine A. Heine
David D. Beaudoin
Paul E. Rasmussen 1 • The City Council adopts an ordinance to submit a
Steven M. Taller proposed charter amendment to the voters.
Mary Frances Skala
Christopher J. Harristhal
Timothy J. Pawlenty 2. The ordinance is submitted to the Charter Commission
Rolf A.Sponheim for review and comment (which may take up to 150
Julie A. Bergh days) .
3. The Charter Commission makes its report to the City
Council either approving or rejecting the proposed
amendment or suggesting a substitute amendment.
4. The Council submits the question of the charter
amendment to the voters. This may be either the
original proposed amendment or a revision suggested
by the Charter Commission.
5. An election is held following at least two weeks
published notice. If 51% of the votes cast are in
favor of the amendment, the amendment passes and is
filed with the Secretary of State and County
Recorder. The amendment becomes effective 30 days
after the election, unless a later time is specified
in the ordinance.

The more streamlined and less expensive procedure would
be for the Charter Commission to recommend the enactment
of an ordinance under Minnesota Statutes, 5410.12, subd.
7, by unanimous adoption of an ordinance without an
election. The steps in this procedure are as follows:
1. The Charter Commission recommends adoption of a
charter amendment by ordinance.
2. In response to the recommendation of the Charter
Commission, the City Council holds a public hearing
on two weeks notice which contains the text of the
proposed amendment.
3. The Council adopts the proposed amendment by
unanimous vote. The ordinance is then published,
filed with the Secretary of State and County
Recorder and becomes effective 90 days after passage
and publication, or any later date which is
specified in the ordinance.
Under this second procedure there is generally no
election, although the matter is subject to a reverse
referendum on the petition of qualified voters equal in
number to 2% of the total number of votes cast in the
last state general election.
If you have any further questions on these procedures,
please feel free to give me a call.

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: Final Agreement for Local Issues Addendum to Local 49-
City of Brooklyn Center Labor Agreement
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:
Attached please find a copy of the following documents: A letter
from myself to the Local 49 Union Business Agent, a document
dated 11/2/87 indicating the changes to Article B -II Sick Leave
and Article B -VII Standby Pay, and a final copy of the new
proposed local addendum to our labor agreement with Local 49.
Last week I reached final agreement with Local 49 on our local
addendum to our contract. The term of the agreement on the local
addendum is from January 1, 1987 terminating on December 31,
1989. The basic changes in the language of the addendum as a
part of the new agreement involve the sick leave section and the
standby pay section. In the sick leave section the addendum is
changed to read the same as our personnel ordinance as it relates
to the use of sick leave and an allowance for a maximum of four
days use of sick leave for care of employee's children or spouse,
and a dropping of the language in the procedures section of the
sick leave article as it relates to absences in excess of three
working days for statement of illness by medical practitioner.
In the standby section we are making the changes necessary to
allow for five hours of overtime pay for standby purposes over
weekends rather than the existing language allowing for four
hours standby pay.
As a part of the agreement I have agreed to put in writing to the
union (see attached letter) a statement that I will recommend to
the City Council the opening of the labor agreement for further
negotiations if, during the term of this agreement, the City of
Brooklyn Center offers an additional paid holiday to any
organized or nonorganized group of employees. Also covered in
the attached letter is a written statement as to our policy and
current practice in paying maintenance III rates when employees
maintain and operate maintenance III equipment.
I believe the settlement represents a fair agreement and
recommend it for your approval.

Dear Mr. Connors:
As per our recent discussions regardin an ag reement

other organized or nonorganized group of employees in the City of
Brooklyn Center receive additional holiday benefits during the
term of the local addendum agreement.
Also as a part of our discussion, I am confirming that it is the
administrative policy of the City to pay maintenance III rates

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Geralyn R. Barone, Personnel Coordinator'
E
DATE: November 4, 1987
SUBJECT: Recommendation from Park and Recreation Commission to
Amend the Advisory Commission Bylaws
At its October 27, 1987, meeting, the park and recreation
commission recommended to the city council the following
amendment to the advisory commission bylaws:
Article VII. General Provisions
No member of the Commission or its Committees shall be authorized
to speak on behalf of the Commission publicly, unless the
Commission has first [considered and approved such statements]
discussed the subject and said member is communicating the ideas
or issues agreed to by the Commission
i

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

There was a motion by Commissioner Burnes and seconded by
Commissioner Peterson to approve the minutes of the September 15,

FACILITY NEEDS
Chairman Sorenson tabled this item to the next Park and Recreation
Commission meeting.
RESOLUTION /BYLAWS
Chairman Sorenson referred the commission to article VII regarding
authorization to speak on behalf of the commission. Commissioner
Peterson said there is too much ambiguity in this article.
Chairman Sorenson said his problem with this article is that the
commission must first consider and approve any statements, so in
essence, commissioners are prohibited from speaking. Commissioner
Propst asked if anyone was able to prepare an alternative to this
article, and no one responded. Councilmember Hawes suggested
Chairman Sorenson may be reading too much into the article.
Chairman Sorenson responded saying the article says in plain
English that statements must be approved. Councilmember Hawes said
no one will condemn a commissioner for speaking on behalf of the
commission, and the intent in the article is clear. Chairman
Sorenson agreed the intent is clear, but the wording does not say
this.
Commissioner Propst asked if Chairman Sorenson wants members to
feel free to express their individual opinions. Chairman Sorenson
said members have this right regardless. What bothers him is any
statement must be approved by the commission. There was some
discussion on alternative language for the article. Commissioner
Burnes suggested the following language "No member shall speak on
behalf of the commission unless the commission has first discussed
the subject and said speaker is communicating the ideas or issues
10 -27 -87 -1-
rn
y e6 i r
agreed to by the commission." Commissioner Skeels noted the
original intent of the bylaws was to allow members to speak
publicly by giving the position of the commission. Commissioner
Propst suggested the proposed language may be too restrictive.
There was a motion by Commissioner Peterson and seconded by
Commissioner Skeels to recommend to the city council an amendment
to article VII of the advisory commission bylaws as suggested by
Commissioner Burnes. The motion passed unanimously. The Recording
Secretary said this item will appear on the November 9, 1987, city
council agenda.
REVIEW OF GENERAL ORDINANCES RELATED DIRECTLY TO PARKS
Chairman Sorenson said he feels the ordinance related to beer and
alcohol in the parks is too restrictive. The Director of
Recreation said he feels there are no problems now and the
ordinance is working well. Chairman Sorenson said because there
have been a few abuses, everyone should not be restricted. He
pointed out a problem with the current ordinance, which says the
director of parks and recreation issues permits, when in fact there
is no longer a director of parks and recreation. Commissioner
Propst asked who the permits are issued to now, and the Director of
Recreation said civic groups which meet certain qualifications are
eligible to obtain permits. Commissioner Propst said there should
not be alcohol in the parks because it is not a good environment
for a park. He feels no one should be able to get a permit and
would be happy if the police enforced the ordinance as it currently
exists.
Commissioner Peterson said he does not feel it is practical to have
a family obtain a permit to have beer in the park. He said he
cannot see why there should be a requirement except for organized
groups. Commissioner Propst said there can be problems with beer
in the parks. Chairman Sorenson said he would like others besides
civic groups to be able to get permits, and he would go along with
a compromise of issuing permits to some groups. Commissioner
Skeels wondered if the current ordinance is loosened, under what
basis could the City stop someone from obtaining a permit; he feels
it would be an administrative nightmare for the recreation
department to administer this. The Director of Recreation said
someone would have to be hired just to handle all the issuance of
permits.
Commissioner Skeels said he would not have a problem with
prohibiting alcohol in the parks altogether with no permits issued.
Commissioner Skeels also suggested if the police department is
involved in monitoring and controlling certain events, a permit for
alcohol may be acceptable. Chairman Sorenson said he prefers the
process to allow groups to obtain permits. Commissioner Propst
said he sees problems with this because it would be chaos. He
prefers to limit access of beer to situations where licenses have
been issued and the events are controlled by the police.

Dear Ms. Weeks:
Enclosed is a copy of the Resolution adopted by the

to oppose the Vento Bill, HR2530, which proposes to
nationalize the Mississippi River through our area.
We are enclosing a copy of the Bill from the
Congressional Record in the event that you have not received
a copy.
Perhaps your governmental unit might consider
similar action if you share our concerns. A mailing list of
the affected governmental units in our area is enclosed for
your convenience, along with a list of the members of
Congress. The mailing address for all Senators is United
States Senate, Washington, D.C. 20510, and the mailing
address of all House members is United States House of

RESOLUTION OPPOSING HR2530
WHEREAS, Congressman Vento has introduced a bill,
HR2530, which affects over 80 miles of property on both sides of
the Mississippi River running through the Minneapolis -St. Paul
metropolitan area; and
WHEREAS, this area is the largest, most highly
developed, and the most expensive, metropolitan area in the State
of Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, there are twenty cities and five counties
regulating development along this portion of the Mississippi
River, all with appropriate planning departments and
comprehensive plans which interrelate, and the area is further
coordinated by the Metropolitan Council for the seven county
metropolitan area, various watershed districts, and other
agencies; and
WHEREAS, HR2530 takes control of planning, development,
and other matters, away from the state and local units of
government and places it in the hands of a single nonelected
official in Washington D.C.; and
WHEREAS, HR2530 tends to nationalize a tremendous
amount of private property, with thousands of individual and
corporate owners, which would ultimately cost the federal
government and taxpayers an immeasurably large amount of money in
acquisition costs, as well as costing local governments an
immeasurably large amount of lost revenue as a result of losing
such property off the property tax rolls;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of
Supervisors of Grey Cloud Island Township, Washington County,
Minnesota, an Urban Township, that all members of Congress and
the Senate be, and they hereby are requested and urged to vote
against HR2530.
Dated this day of September, 1987.
