responded saying about an 80% reduction would occur. Councilmember Theis wondered
how old the section in question is, and the Director of Planning & Inspection
responded saying the area in question is the middle section, which is the very last
area to be developed and construction began approximately one and one -half years
ago. He added the bond originated in 1982. Councilmember Theis asked if progress
is being made on the landscaping, and the Director of Planning & Inspection
responded affirmatively, adding the Homeowners' Association feels the bond
reduction is fair and equitable.

RESOLUTIONS (CONTINUED)
The City Manager introduced a Resolution Declaring Property at 58th & Drew Avenues
North as Hazardous. Councilmember Theis inquired if compliance with the law is
met, whether or not a drastic amount of the hedge would be removed, taking out far
more than is necessary. The City Manager stated that the hedge has been a problem
over a number of years and it has been cut in the past. However, in the past one and
7 -8 -85 -3-
one -half years, there has been difficulty obtaining compliance with the homeowner
even though the City has offered to mark the hedge for cutting. He added there is a
high amount of traffic particularly on weekends because of the church in the area. 0
The City Manager stated the hedge can be trimmed to an acceptable level or it can be
taken out, but trimming will not eliminate the hazard. Councilmember Theis asked
the City Attorney what procedure is necessary if the resolution is passed. The City
Attorney stated the City is on notice resulting from a number of complaints and the
requested cutback is what the City ordinance requires. He added if an accident
occurs and it is established that the City did not fully enforce the ordinance the
City would be liable; therefore he recommends full compliance with the hazardous
building law. For enforcement, an order would be served on the property owner with
a certain number of days to respond, and then a judge would have to determine whether
or not the property is hazardous.
Councilmember Theis stated he did not see anything on hazardous shrubs in the law,
and the City Attorney stated the statute addresses hazardous buildings and
hazardous conditions. Councilmember Theis asked the City Attorney how much effort
had been made from the Attorney's firm to find the resident's phone number. The
City Attorney responded stating it would be an incorrect assumption that his 'firm
had not been in contact with the resident. Councilmember Theis referred to a letter
dated June 5, 1985 from the City Attorney which states the City Attorney was unable
to find a telephone number for the resident. The City Manager said he knew the
homeowner had�been contacted, and the City Attorney reaffirmed this statement.
Mayor Nyquist asked if the resident had been informed of the resolution and its
appearance on this evening's agenda, and the City Manager stated she had not been
notified.
Councilmember Theis requested the City Attorney to determine why his office stated
in a letter that they were unable to obtain a phone number. Councilmember Lhotka
asked how many complaints had been received, and the City Manager stated
approximately five to ten people had complained. The Deputy City Clerk stated that
the original complaint was made in January of 1984. The City Manager added that the
resident had cooperated with the City for many years, but has not most recently.
Mayor Nyquist noted the hedge is planted in a diagonal direction not for beauty's
sake. Councilmember Lhotka requested that if this type of item arises again it
should not be placed on the Consent Agenda.
RESOLUTION NO. 85 -122
Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION ORDERING THE ABATEMENT OF NUISANCE AND HAZARDOUS CONDITION OF REAL
ESTATE EXISTING AT 5800 DREW AVENUE NORTH IN THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER

those removed from the 7- Eleven site and installing new dispensers. Councilmember is
7 -8 -85 -4-
Lhotka asked if there would be a monitoring system for each tank, and the City
Manager responded affirmatively. Councilmember Lhotka noted that in the report
before him the number of repairs listed were for 1984, and he asked what the past
history of repairs has been. The City Manager stated that 1984 was a representative
year for number of repairs. Councilmember Hawes inquired if all City vehicles
would be fed from this system, and the City Manager responded affirmatively, adding
that the Brooklyn Center school buses and also some special vehicles from MTC would
be using these pumps. Councilmember Theis asked if the funding for this project is
from Capital Improvement Project monies, and the City Manager stated it is.
RESOLUTION NO. 85 -123
Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:

Accepting Bid and Awarding Contract for Carpet Replacement in the Civic Center

Councilmember Hawes asked if the Civic Center represented both City Hall and the
Community Center. The City Manager responded affirmatively, stating the upper
level of City Hall and parts of the Community Center are included in the replacement'
of carpeting, and adding that this project does not include total replacement of all
carpeting in the Civic Center. Councilmember Hawes asked what the five
alternatives under the Carpet Center, Inc. bid included, and Mr. Bob Pierce, an
architect representing Lindberg, Pierce Company stated the alternatives were from
various carpet manufacturers priced and submitted by one company. Councilmember
Hawes asked
d fan thought ght had been given to the alternative . of using carpet squares,
and Mr. Pierce responded saying it was not considered in this case because of the
expense, but added that it is a good alternative if some areas are more heavily
trafficked than others. Councilmember Hawes asked if carpet squares is a good
alternative in the long run, and Mr. Pierce stated it would be too expensive.
Councilmember Hawes noted the downtown skyways are carpeted with squares allowing
easy replacement. Mr. Pierce noted the carpeting is replaced every 'three to four
years in the skyways because of the heavy traffic, and said regular carpeting
averages approximately $17 per square yard while the cost of carpet squares is
approximately $24 per square yard.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
table this resolution to the next City Council meeting. Councilmember Hawes
inquired why this item should be tabled, and Councilmember Lhotka responded saying
he was notified by a firm that wanted to bid on the project and was told they could not
do so. He requested the City to investigate the complaint. The City Manager asked
how much time is left to reject bids, and Mir. Pierce stated two weeks.
Councilmember Lhotka requested an attempt be made to extend the bids if necessary,
and requested a copy of the bid specifications.

Community Center, and the City Manager stated it did and some parts of both these
facilities would be corrected. Councilmember Hawes noted that in the third line of

The Housing Coordinator briefly reviewed the "proposed development plan for

any action this evening relative to the public hearing because of the need to prepare
additional information and clarification of this project. Councilmember Scott
asked at what stage the City is at for signing an agreement for acquiring the
property, and the Housing Coordinator responded a Purchase Agreement has been
drafted and Mr. Gustafson's attorney is reviewing it. Councilmember Hawes asked if
liens against the property will be paid off, and the Housing Coordinator stated the
Purchasing Agreement says all mortgages must be paid.
Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on
Establishment of a Redevelopment Project and a Tax Increment Financing District.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Ms. Marie Castle, 6221 Shingle Creek Parkway, Apt. 1108,
who said she read about the possible purchase in the newspaper and is concerned about
the possible rental housing project. She would like the property to be maintained
as it is without tearing down any buildings. She added as a taxpayer she would not
mind if the farm were given to a farm family to maintain. Mayor Nyquist told Ms.
Castle that an ad hoc committee is reviewing options for the property, including
preservation. The City Manager added rental housing may be constructed adjacent to
the farm buildings and the intent is to preserve the buildings.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
continue the public hearing on the Establishment of a Redevelopment Project and a
Tax Increment Financing District to 7:30 p.m. on July 22, 1985. Voting in favor:

PUBLIC HEARING ON ESTABLISHMENT
CONDOMINIUMS —
OF A MULTIFAMILY HOUSING BOND ON BROOKWOOD
The Housing Coordinator reviewed the Resolution Adopting a Housing Bond Program for
the Issuance of Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds for the Brookwood Estates Project
and Authorizing Submission of Same to the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency and the
Metropolitan Council.
Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on
Establishment of a Multifamily Housing Bond on Brookwood Condominiums.
Councilmember Lhotka inquired about the status of rental of the condominium units.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Wally Johnson of Brutger Companies, Inc. who stated
they have purchased six units and there are two owners who are not interested in
selling their units at this time. Councilmember Lhotka asked how many units are
currently rented in the rental area, and Mr. Johnson stated approximately 19 units
have been rented. Councilmember Lhotka questioned the marketing strategies used
by Brutger Companies, Inc. for both the condominiums and the rental units, and Mr.
Johnson stated advertising has been published both in the Brooklyn Center Post and
in the Minneapolis Star & Tribune newspapers, and currently Brutger Companies, Inc.
is in the process of hiring a property management firm. Councilmember Lhotka asked
what the hours are to view the apartments, and Mr. Johnson stated a full -time
resident manager is available every day.
Mayor Nyquist inquired if the two owners retaining their property in the
condominiums have submitted anything in writing. Mr. Johnson noted the two owners
are very willing to stay in the building as owners, and are happy with both
7 -8 -85 -7-
management and maintenance. He added Brutger Companies, Inc. have this in writing
from one of the owner's attorney. Councilmember Theis asked if the offer to
purchase units from the last two owners was consistent with the other offers, or if
they were higher. Mr. Johnson stated the last two owners were offered similar
settlements to the other six owners, but the counter offers received were _
substantially higher than the others.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Jay Cook of Dorsey & Whitney who stated the last two
owners were requesting an additional 30% to 40% amount over the rental concessions
and as a total package were asking for between 50% and 60% more than each of the other
six owners had received.
Mayor Nyquist asked if the remaining two owners are under the impression that the
City is not going to bail them out, and the Housing Coordinator stated this has been
made very clear to them. Mayor Nyquist noted he prefers to see something in writing
showing the decision to stay as owners is that of the owners. The City Manager said
City staff will contact the owners. Mr. Cook stated the owners have made the
decision to own and prefer to continue as owners.
Councilmember Lhotka asked how the City can protect itself, and the City Attorney
asked what the City wishes to be protected from. Councilmember Lhotka expressed
concern that the two owners will return at some future date with some request. The
City Attorney stated the City is assisting with the financing of the project, and
even if the two stay as owners, he does not see what threat there is to the City.
Mayor Nyquist stated if the two owners are depending on the City to bring additional
pressure for settlement, the owners should not rely on this assumption. The City
Attorney stated this should be communicated to the owners and the City Manager
stated this could be done between now and August 1, 1985. Councilmember Theis
stated he wished the owners to be aware of the option allowing a last chance for them
to settle, and also requested staff to make contact with the owners.
Councilmember Lhotka asked how close Brutger Companies, Inc. is to selecting a
management firm, and Mr. Johnson stated Brutger Companies, Inc. is presently
dealing with two firms. Councilmember Lhotka requested information on this at the
next meeting.
There was a motion by Councilmember Theis and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka to
continue the public hearing on Establishment of a Multifamily Housing Bond on
Brookwood Condominiums to 7:30 p.m. on July 22, 1985.
Councilmember Hawes asked if the owners continue to own if they would be able to rent
out their units to anyone they so desired, and the City Manager responded
affirmatively. Councilmember Hawes asked how many bedrooms are in each unit, and
the Housing Coordinator stated both owned units have two bedrooms each.
Councilmember Hawes asked if the owners could rent to a family, and the Housing
Coordinator responded affirmatively. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist,
Councilmembers Lhotka, Scott, Hawes, and Theis. Voting against: none. The
motion passed unanimously.
The Housing Coordinator and the Finance Director left the Council Chambers at 8:17

Planning Commission felt the noise wall should be at least 12' in height for a 40'
setback.
The Housing Coordinator re- entered the Council Chambers at 8:52 p.m.
7 -8 -85 -9-
The Director of Planning & Inspection stated the Minnesota Department of
Transportation does not wish to install a noise wall, but prefers landscaped berms
instead. He added it has been the City's preference in the past to choose berms
rather than the noise walls. He explained that for a temporary variance, the issues
remain the same regardless of what the MN /DOT'S action will be. If a wall is
constructed, a standard setback should be determined.
Councilmember Lhotka asked if it would be possible to proceed with the second
proposal if landscaped berms are constructed, and the Director of Planning &
Inspection stated more land is necessary to construct berms. Councilmember Lhotka
asked if it would be possible to construct a berm on private property and add a fence
to that property. The Director of Planning & Inspection responded this is a
possibility.
The Housing Coordinator left the Council Chambers at 9:07 p.m.
Councilmember Theis inquired as to what would become of the property on the east side
of T.H. 252, and wondered if a noise wall on the west side would make it noisier for
those on the east side of T.H. 252. The City Manager stated a duplex is on the east
side of T. H. 252, and noted a landscaped berm would be constructed on the east side.
Councilmember Scott stated she would prefer a berm over a noise wall any day based on
her experience.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Ken Solie of Village Properties who stated in the two
story buildings, the second story would be noisier. According to Mr. Solie,
Village Properties intends to extend the wings on the east end of the building to
deter the noise. Councilmember Hawes asked if there are any openings on the east
end of the building in question, and Mr. Solie responded there are not.
The Housing Coordinator returned to the City Council Chambers at 9:08 p.m.
Councilmember Theis asked if a landscaped berm and a fence is installed, and half of
the berm is on private property, what the maximum number of units would be before a
variance is needed. The Director of Planning & Inspection stated it would be
necessary to review a plan prior to answering this question. He restated the
concern expressed by the Planning Commission of whether or not the intent of the
ordinance is met for a noise wall for a 40' setback. Councilmember Hawes inquired
as to the setback requirements of the side, rear and front of the 7206 Camden Avenue
North building. The Director of Planning & Inspection responded that a 50' setback
is required by ordinance but the City Council can utilize a lesser setback.
Mayor Nyquist continued the public hearing on Planning Commission Application No.
85016. He inquired if there was anyone in the audience 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 Hawes and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
close the public hearing on Application No. 85016. Voting in favor: Mayor
Nyquist, Councilmembers Lhotka, Scott, Hawes, and Theis. Voting against: none.
The motion passed unanimously.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
approve Application No. 85016 with authorization for a 12 combination of landscaped
7 -8 -85 -10-
berm and noise wall for a 40' setback, and subject to the following conditions:
1. The variance is justifiable on the basis of a physical hardship
created by the highway taking and the public interest in
preserving real property, and is not justifiable on the basis of
the owner's financial interests alone.
2. The applicant shall secure from the relevant parties the
repurchase rights to any excess right -of -way to the east of the
Evergreen Park Apartments property, prior to the issuance of
permits for relocation of the 7212 building.
3• The applicant shall submit, prior to the issuance of permits for
building relocation, a letter from MN /DOT - acknowledging -that
there is adequate excess right -of -way and /or potential
mitigating improvements in the future to provide for required
ordinance setbacks.
4. The applicant shall submit for review and approval by the
Planning Commission and City Council a site and building plan
application for the property with new building and parking
locations and any other site modifications comprehended, prior
to the issuance of permits for relocation and reconstruction.
5• In the event that the 7212 building is "substantially destroyed"
by the attempted relocation, the density variance shall be voided
and any new construction shall conform to the density limitations
of the Zoning Ordinance.
6. Following construction of the new Highway 252, the applicant
shall acquire the excess right -of -way immediately to the east of
the apartment complex and maintain the area in a manner
consistent with the proposed site plan and the Housing
Maintenance and Occupancy Ordinance.
7. The applicant shall enter into an agreement with the City, in a
manner approved by the City Attorney, assuring that they will
acquire excess right -of -way from the MN /DOT and shall combine
this property to the Evergreen Apartment complex through
platting or registered land survey. Said agreement shall be
filed with the title to the property prior to issuance of permits
for relocation or remodeling.
Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Lhotka, Scott, and Hawes. Voting
against: Rich Theis. The motion carried.
The Director of Planning & Inspection left the Council Chambers at 9:18 p.m.
PUBLIC HEARING ON ESTABL ISHMENT OF A MULTIFAMILY HOUSING BOND ON BROOKWOOD
CONDOMINIUMS - (CONTINUED
The City Manager stated there is additional information on Brookwood condominiums
to be added to the record.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to
reopen the public hearing on Establishment of a Multifamily Housing Bond on
7 -8 -85 -11-
Brookwood Condominiums. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Lhotka,
Scott, Hawes, and Theis. Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Jay Cook of Dorsey & Whitney who explained that Brutger
Companies, Inc. wished the City Council to understand the agreements reached with
the six former condominium owners, and explained the details of the agreement. He
also reviewed a letter received from an attorney representing one of the current'
owners of a condominium unit. Mr. Cook stated the terms proposed by the attorney
were unacceptable to Brutger, and the client would continue to own the unit. Mr.
Cook reviewed the request from the other condominium owner and stated the client
will continue ownership of the unit. He stated Brutger feels they have exhausted
every possibility for settlement at this time. He explained Brutger is interested
in gaining the City's approval in order to appear before the Minnesota Housing
Finance Agency, and requests the City Council to reconsider and approve the
resolution before them. .
Councilmember Lhotka stated he is still concerned for reasons stated earlier and
would not vote on this item this evening. Mr. Wally Johnson of Brutger stated
passage of the resolution is necessary to receive approval of the housing plan. He
added they are on a tight time table and pointed out that none of the owners are
present at the public hearing. Councilmember Lhotka stated it was his
interpretation that even if the resolution is delayed by two weeks, Brutger will
still be able -to meet their timetable. Mr. Johnson stated the Minnesota Housing
Finance Agency requires a ten -day notice to be placed on their agenda, and the Agency
meets just once per month.
Councilmember Lhotka inquired as to how the residents will be notified, and the
Housing Coordinator stated they could be contacted by phone. The City Manager
stated it may be possible to grant preliminary approval, and the City Attorney
stated there should be some concern about the variance between the real facts and
those presented this evening.
Councilmember Lhotka left the Council Chambers at 9:39 p.m. and returned at 9:41
P.m.
Councilmember Theis expressed concern over the motives of the residents who had
written letters stating their counter proposals for settlement. Mayor Nyquist
stated assuming the letters are legitimate, it is still important to know the
residents understand the City will take no further action on the matter.
Councilmember Scott requested phone calls be made to the residents with follow -up
letters which would provide proof of notification. Mr. Cook stated the residents
are aware of the current circumstances and he would object to the City _taking any
special action for them. Mr. Johnson asked for some direction from the City
Council, inquiring what the expected result of a notification letter to the
residents would be. Councilmember Lhotka stated Brutger Companies, Inc. is not
required to do anything additional, but the City wants the two residents to be aware
that the units around them are rental units and the City is not attempting to reopen
negotiations.
Mayor Nyquist inquired as to whether or not the residents were formally notified of
the public hearing this evening, and the Housing Coordinator stated they were not.
Councilmember Theis asked if it would be possible to adopt the resolution on the
condition that the facts are correct. The City Attorney pointed out that staff
could add a clause stating additional information must be verified, and if the facts
7 -8 -85 -12-
come back showing residents have relied on the City, the resolution would be made
void. A final decision to use or reject the clause could come at the July 22, 1985
City Council meeting. Mir. Cook stated he preferred not to see any special condition
set. Mayor Nyquist stated he did not wish to receive any phone calls from
individuals stating they thought the City would not approve anything until all
condominium units were sold. Councilmember Theis stated the meeting on July 22,
1985 could be used to reverse the resolution if necessary.
Councilmember Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:'
RESOLUTION ADOPTING A HOUSING BOND PROGRAM FOR THE ISSUANCE OF MULTIFAMILY HOUSING
REVENUE BONDS FOR THE BROOKWOOD ESTATES PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION OF SAME
TO THE MINNESOTA HOUSING FINANCE AGENCY AND THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL
Councilmember Scott included the condition that the resolution would become void if
the information presented by Brutger Companies, Inc. this evening, was found to be
false. The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Bill Hawes.
The City Attorney stated it is not a good practice to alter a proposed resolution
when dealing with the sale of bonds. He recommended the City Council either adopt
the original resolution and the two owners must live with the results or wait two
weeks until sufficient information is received and Brutger Companies, Inc. would
have to accept the delay.
Councilmember Scott withdrew her resolution and Councilmember Hawes did not object.
Councilmember Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION ADOPTING A HOUSING BOND PROGRAM FOR THE ISSUANCE OF MULTIFAMILY HOUSING
REVENUE BONDS FOR THE BROOKWOOD ESTATES PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION OF SAME
TO THE MINNESOTA HOUSING FINANCE AGENCY AND THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL
Councilmember Theis wondered if the only other opportunity to discontinue the
process would be at the time of a final resolution which the City Council would
probably have difficulty not passing. The City Attorney stated much will depend on
the facts of the situation, including to what extent the developers had been led to
rely on the first approval. Mr. Johnson stated Brutger has been bargaining in good
faith.
Mayor Nyquist inquired if anyone wished to second the motion for the adoption of the
resolution, and upon finding no one to do so stated the motion died for a lack of a
second.
Councilmember Theis suggested the City Council meet again prior to the July 22, 1985
City Council meeting on an evening early enough to allow Brutger to proceed and also
to receive assurance from the residents that the facts presented are correct.
There was a motion by Councilmember Theis and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka to
continue the public hearing on Establishment of a Multifamily Housing Bond on
Brookwood Condominiums to July 11, 1985 at 7:00 p.m. Voting in favor: Mayor
Nyquist, Councilmembers Lhotka, Scott, Hawes, and Theis. Voting against: none.
The motion passed unanimously.
The Housing Coordinator stated he would contact the residents and inform them of
this meeting.

CONDITIONS FOR EMPLOYMENT OF HENRY (BO) SPURRIER FOR THE POSITION OF CITY ENGINEER
The City Manager stated it would be necessary for the City Council to approve special
conditions for employment of Mr. Bo Spurrier for the position of City Engineer.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Theis to
allow Mr. Henry Spurrier three weeks vacation accrual for his first five years of
employment with the City and then according to the personnel ordinance, and 100 hour
block of sick leave, which can be used in the first year but must be earned according
to the City plan before additional hours accrue. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist,
Councilmembers Lhotka, Scott, Hawes, and Theis. Voting against: none. The
motion passed unanimously.

the Target location, and the City Manager stated it is very high.
PUBLIC HEARING ON ESTABLISHMENT OF A MULTIFAMILY HOUSING BOND ON BROOKWOOD
CONDOM -
— - _
Tie City Manager stated the public hearing on the Establishment of a Multifamily
Housing Bond on Brookwood Condominiums is continued from the July 8, 1985 City
Council meeting. He noted if the City Council adopts the resolution before them on
this issue, it will be difficult to retract at a future date.
President Pro tem Scott continued the public hearing on the Establishment of a
Multifamily Housing Bond on Brookwood Condominiums.
The City Manager stated Brookwood residents were contacted both by phone and letter
7 -11 -85 -1-
regarding this evening's meeting. President Pro tem Scott asked those residents
present to identify themselves, and those present included Walter and Stella
Kaluznick, 6201 North Lilac Drive,, Apt. No. 504, and Mrs. Bea Bell, 6201 North Lilac
Drive, Apt. No. 211. President Pro tem Scott recognized Mr. Kaluznick who stated
before the City approves anything, he recommends that the City investigate Brutger
Companies, Inc., as Brutger has promised a lot and has not always followed through on
their promises.
Mayor Dean Nyquist entered the meeting at 7:16 p.m. and assumed leadership of the
meeting.
Councilmember Scott asked Mr. Kaluznick to note specific promises made by Brutger.
Mr. Kaluznick stated sport's equipment was to be installed and never was; the
Whirlpool is not being taken care of and it is dirty; trash is around the vehicle
area; water leaks above the hot water tank which has never been fixed; the water
smells rotten; and the upkeep of grounds is not good.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mrs. Bell who stated she would keep her unit but has some
fears regarding care of the lawn. She complained about the service of the garage
doors, the security system, and the fact that some tenants use any garage spaces they
desire. She expressed concern over whether Brutger would continue with poor care
of the facility and is apprehensive about ever being able to sell her unit if the
facility does deteriorate. She also stated her concern for her rights as an owner
and her fear that the Association fee would be increased to a very high level. Mrs.
Bell said she likes her home and would like to stay there, but has concern about
maintenance problems not being corrected. Finally, she stated she is willing to
sell at the amount it cost her to make the move she did.
Mayor Nyquist asked if those who have complained to these residents have talked to
Brutger Companies, Inc., and Mrs. Bell said some residents have. Fir. Kaluznick
added some complaints are at least one year old. Mayor Nyquist stated he was a bit
confused about the message he was receiving from the residents when compared to the
letters from their attorneys which show satisfaction with the facility. Mr.
Kaluznick stated he and his wife are happy but recommended the City check out Brutger
Companies, Inc.
Councilmember Lhotka asked for a response from representatives of Brutger
Companies, Inca
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Wally Johnson, representing Brutger Companies, Inc.,
who stated his company is aware of a high water table in the basement and a few
problems with water leaking in the balcony areas. Mr. Johnson stated Brutger
Companies, Inc. was in the process of installing laundry equipment when told by the
City of Brooklyn Center that air dampers are necessary, and this caused an
additional delay. Mr. Johnson noted the condition of the grounds at the Brookwood
project is better than other places in Brooklyn Center. Councilmember Lhotka
inquired about the problems encountered with the garage doors, and Mr. Johnson
responded that Brutger Companies, Inc. has been aware of problems and makes repairs
as soon as a problem is reported.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Kaluznick who stated problems go on for weeks at a time
and asked why it takes an entire year to get a ceiling leak repaired. He noted that
everyone seems to pass the buck.
7 -11 -85 -2-
t
The City Manager stated the City will have a Building Inspector check compliance of
the City's maintenance code at Brookwood condominiums during the following week.
Councilmember Lhotka made the statement that if Brutger Companies, Inc. did not know
about, the problem they have, it is an example of shabby management. Mr. Johnson of
Brutger Companies, Inc. stated he was not responsible for construction of the
building and was not aware of the roof leaks. Mr. Kaluznick said he has talked with
the resident manager at Brookwood condominiums nearly everyday and the resident
manager has said she passes the information onto management. Councilmember Lhotka
asked Mr. Kaluznick to speak with the resident manager and find out who she passes
her information to at the Brutger Companies, Inc. Councilmember Theis asked who is
responsible in the Brutger Companies, Inc. organization to remedy problems such as
those discussed this evening, and Mr. Johnson of Brutger Companies, Inc. responded
he is that responsible person. Councilmember Theis asked if a roofer were sent out
to Brookwood condominiums, then Mr. Johnson would have been the person sending that
roofer out, and Mr. Johnson stated someone in his department would have done so.
Councilmember Lhotka stated a notice was sent to residents in approximately March of
1985 telling them about certain services that would be available at Brookwood
condominiums, and he asked if those are now available. Mr. Kaluznick said they are
not available. Mr. Johnson stated that Brutger Companies, Inc. is attempting to
hire a professional management company to advise Brutger Companies, Inc. of what is
needed, but such a company has not yet been hired. Mr. Johnson added that Brutger
Companies, Inc.. has done a lotto the building at the request of the tenants and the
intent remains to improve the facility. However, Brutger Companies, Inc. does not
wish to make an error in purchasing equipment or services that will not be used and as
a result, a management company will be hired by Brutger Companies, Inc. The City
Manager asked what the expected date is for hiring the management firm, and Mr.
Johnson replied the goal is September 1, 1985.
Councilmember Hawes asked about the problems related to the whirlpool. Mr.
Kaluznick stated the whirlpool is dirty and it always seems to be broken. ` The City
Manager noted the Health Department has informed him that this is a universal
problem with whirlpools.
Mr. Johnson addressed the issue of the rotten egg smell of the water, saying the
smell has to do with the degree of occupancy in the units at the present time, and the
smell will disappear when full occupancy is reached.
Councilmember Theis referenced the problems expressed by residents, noting that
many of these problems may have been avoided with good management. He asked for
some assurance that the problems stated would be rectified, and Mayor Nyquist asked
to have someone assigned who has the authority to accomplish the tasks at hand. Mr.
Johnson stated he would see to the repair problems personally. Councilmember
Lhotka stated he is looking for some assurance that the problems will be cleared up
before this fall when a management company is hired.
Councilmember Theis asked how many of the complaints could be dealt with before the
next City Council meeting on July 22, 1985• Mr. Johnson of Brutger Companies, Inca
responded saying they are currently dealing with the sprinkling' system; the
whirlpool will be professionally serviced in the following week; the water leak in
the roof will be inspected; the trash problem will be investigated; Brutger
Companies, Inc. will work with the City in dealing with the foul water smell; and the
garage doors and security system will be checked. Councilmember Theis asked that a
report be presented at the next City Council meeting in reference to the status of
7 -11 -85 -3-
the specific problems and Mr. Johnson stated this would be done.
Councilmember Scott asked Mr. Johnson if he did not communicate with his resident
manager, and Mr. Johnson stated he was aware of some problems, but heard of no
specific complaints related to maintenance. Councilmember Scott remarked that
Brookwood is a nice building with nice tenants, but wondered why Brutger Companies,
Y g A ,
Inc. did not know about a leaky roof for one year. Mr. Johnson stated he was not,
aware that a problem existed.- Councilmember Scott asked if a management company
would have the same communication problem as that now experienced, and Mr. Johnson
stated Brutger Companies, Inc. has tried to attend to maintenance problems
immediately. Mr. Kaluznick said se a
ver 1 eo e have ave come in and looked a
t th
P A e
leaking ceiling, but nothing has ever been done about it.
Councilmember Hawes asked what the association fee would be for the two owners who
keep their units, and Mr. Jay Cook of Dorsey & Whitney stated Brutger Companies, Inc.
will assess each of the units 1/73 of the total cost. Mayor Nyquist noted that
Brutger er Com anies Inc. g Companies, would pay 71/73 of the cost.
Mayor Nyquist asked that the residents at Brookwood condominiums prepare a list of
complaints, present this list to City staff, and a report be presented from the City
and Brutger Companies, Inc. at the next City Council meeting. Mrs. Bell asked if
the Brookwood condominiums would remain as a senior citizen residence, and Mayor
Nyquist responded that there is no absolute assurance for this. The Housing
Coordinator noted the plan is for anyone under 54 to be excluded from living in these
units, and in the case of a married couple, only one of the residents must be 54 years
or older. Mr. Johnson added that the caretakers are also excluded from the age
restriction.
Mayor Nyquist inquired if there was anyone else resent who wished to speak at th
Y A p e
public hearing. No one appeared to speak and he entertained a motion to close the
public hearing.

second reading. This ordinance is a result of a new state law requiring the
preparation and delivery of absentee ballots at least 30 days before an election,
and requiring filing of affidavits of candidates not less than six weeks nor more
than eight weeks before a municipal primary and at least eighteen weeks before the
general election.

Mayor Nyquist referred to Section 3.02b of the resolution and asked on what basis the
buildings are determined to be 20% structurally substandard. The Housing
Coordinator stated this is based on the number of buildings versus the number of
parcels regardless of size. Councilmember Lhotka asked for a clarification of
Section 4.03 of the resolution, and the Housing Coordinator explained the
geographic boundaries of the project area and the Tax Increment Financing District
are the same.

DISCUSSION ITEM
STAFF REPORT - BROOKWOOD CONDOMINIUMS
Councilmember .Theis questioned the status of the garage door openers, and the
Housing Coordinator stated that personnel were working to resolve the problem when
he was at the site, and there is something definitely wrong with the system. Mayor
Nyquist asked if reasonable efforts were made to resolve the problem, and the
7 -22 -85 -5-
Housing Coordinator stated that such efforts have been made. Councilmember Lhotka
asked about the condition of the shrubbery, and the Housing Coordinator said he did
not see much evidence of dead shrubbery.
Councilmember Scott asked if a name or a phone number is available for residents to
contact in emergency situations. Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Wally Johnson of
Brutger Companies, Inc. who stated the company has interviewed a caretaker couple
who will be available on a 24 hour basis. Councilmember Scott asked what residents
are to do in the mean time until the caretaker couple moves into the residence, and
Mr. Johnson stated residents should dial 911 for immediate emergencies, and
building emergencies will be dealt with during business hours. Councilmember
Scott stated a lot of damage could occur if residents waited until morning to report
problems, and it would be best if residents could have a contact to call. Mr.
Johnson of Brutger Companies, Inc. stated as a short term resolution he would post
the phone numbers of several office people, and Councilmember Scott responded
saying this is an acceptable solution. Mayor Nyquist asked if the two owners of the
condominium units received copies of the report, and the Housing Coordinator stated
he would deliver copies to the residents.
RECESS
The Brooklyn Center City Council recessed at 7:48 p.m. and reconvened at 8:04 p.m.
PLANNING COMMISSION ITEM
PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 85009 SUBMITTED BY FOUNDATION STONE
M INISTRIES, INC. FOR OF TM 4 . A C S_ ' S0 OF T
AND BROOKLYN BOULEVARD FROM R5 TO C1
The City Manager stated this application was considered by the Planning Commission
at its May 9, 1985 was tabled and referred to the West Central Neighborhood
Advisory Group for review and comment, and recommended for approval by the Planning
Commission at its July 11, 1985 meeting.
The Director of Planning & Inspection reviewed the application from Foundation
Stone Ministries, Inc. and the minutes of the Planning Commission from May 9, 1985
and July 11, 1985 • He reviewed the location and area of the property, and stated the
applicant is seeking rezoning for the purpose of building a church. The Director of
Planning & Inspection reviewed the past history of the property and noted that
currently churches are not allowed in areas zoned as R5. He added that a C1 zoning
district would be compatable with the City's Comprehensive Plan. He reviewed the
results of the neighborhood meeting and the resolution before the City Council this
evening. The Director of Planning & Inspection noted the Planning Commission also
recommended a change in the zoning ordinance if the resolution is passed.
Mayor Nyquist asked if it would be possible to designate this property as a special
use in a R5 district, and the Director of Planning & Inspection stated this is a
possibility. Councilmember Hawes asked if the property could be downgraded to R1
and the church would be a special use, and the Director of Planning & Inspection
stated this would be inconsistent with the City's plans. Councilmember Hawes asked
if the property is zoned as C1 and a church is not built, whether or not the property
would be open to C1 uses. The Director of Planning & Inspection stated that C1
zoning is not inconsistent with the City's plan and office uses would be permitted.
Councilmember Hawes stated he agreed with the idea of a turn lane, but noted traffic
traveling eastbound on I -94 to southbound Brooklyn Boulevard would have difficulty
7 -22 -85 -6-
crossing over lanes if another lane is added. The Director of Planning& Inspection
noted that the proposal includes lengthening of a turn lane and not the addition of
another lane. The Director of Public Works added that the proposal is for a
protected turn lane, noting the acceleration lane off of I =94 to Brooklyn Boulevard
would taper off before the new turn lane starts and traffic would have to move to the
through lane prior to entering the turn lane to the property. The City Manager
stated no matter what the use is on this property, there will be some traffic
problems.
Councilmember Hawes wondered if the property in question and those three lots south
of the property are rezoned to either R1 or R2, if there would be a problem with the
covenant. The Director of Planning & Inspection noted that the private covenant is
exercised by the property owners. Councilmember Hawes asked if there would be room
for a U -turn for those vehicles traveling northbound on Brooklyn Boulevard and
taking the turn lane to go west off of Brooklyn Boulevard. The Director of Planning
& Inspection stated this A i would be A ossible because signalized intersections allow
U- turns. Councilmember Hawes felt this will create a real problem, and the
Director of Planning & Inspection noted that a church use will provide for off peak
traffic generation on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings, while adding an
office use would create peak traffic during heavy traffic hours. Councilmember
Hawes asked if an acceleration lane would be constructed for vehicles leaving the
site and traveling southbound on Brooklyn Boulevard. The Director of Public Works
stated there is not enough room for this proposal.
Councilmember Theis questioned the use of the land compared to the existing covenant
and asked if approval would be needed from the City Council for the three parcels
south of the property under consideration. The Director of Planning & Inspection
stated this would require rezoning at a future date. Councilmember Theis expressed
concern over the use of residential streets for activity related to a church. He
asked how large a site the proposed plan is compared to other churches in the
community, especially those where 50% of the traffic generated by a church is routed
onto residential streets. He also asked for an estimate of the number of trips on a
Sunday morning into this site. The Director of Planning & Inspection noted the
latest proposal includes congregational membership of approximately 500 people
with an estimated growth to 800 members. He added there will be two Sunday services
as well as Wednesday evening services, and parking capacity allows for one vehicle
for each of three seats in the church. Councilmember Theis noted this would
approximate 167 vehicles. He asked where most of the parishioners of the church
currently live, and the Director of Planning & Inspection stated the current church
is located in the Camden area of Minneapolis, with parishioners living in Brooklyn
Center, Brooklyn Park, New Hope, and the Crystal area. Councilmember Theis noted
if services are full with 167 vehicles parked in the lot, it may be possible for 83 of
the vehicles to travel in from the south and 83 to travel from the north which may
result in approximately 83 U -turns at the north ramp. The Director of Public Works
noted that residents coming from the Camden and New Hope areas would probably travel
on I -94. Councilmember Theis concluded that less than 50% of the vehicles would
make U- turns. He asked what time the services are scheduled for, and the Director
of Planning & Inspection stated that Sunday services are at 10:00 a.m.:and 7:00 p.m.,
while Wednesday evening will include a prayer service.
Councilmember Lhotka_expressed concern that vehicles waiting to make U -turns at the
intersection would stack up prior to the services. He asked what the current tax is
on the parcel addressed in the application and the amount of the tax exemption if the
7 -22 -85 -7-
church is built. The Director of Planning & Inspection stated he did not know the
answer to these questions but will investigate them. The City Manager noted that
approximately two years ago the Metropolitan Council conducted a study on the amount
of tax exempt property in communities, and Brooklyn Center was near the bottom of
this list. Councilmember Hawes asked if the rezoning proposal affects only the
property being sold or also the three parcels of land south of the property. The
Director of Planning & Inspection stated that only the property being sold at this
time is addressed here. Mayor Nyquist asked if the three lots are sold if they would
be large enough to build apartment buildings on them, and the Director of Planning &
Inspection stated this is possible.
Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on Application
No. 85009• He inquired if there was anyone present who wished to speak at the public
hearing.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Charles Gustafson, 3801 66th Avenue North, who stated
he was in favor of the past plan to build offices on this property, but he is not in
favor of building a church. He added two of the four properties on Brooklyn
Boulevard are for sale but the owners cannot sell them at this time. He said the
owners would like to see the area become commercial uses, because if a church is
built it will be impossible to sell homes in the area.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Ms. Audrey Henche, 4201 66th Avenue North, who said she can
see the traffic from the freeway ramp and there are two to three accidents a month.
She stated that in her opinion, building a church will create traffic problems. Ms.
Henche added she was almost hit several days ago when a car coming off the ramp did
not turn its turn signal off. Mayor Nyquist asked if the problem would be occurring
only with the church and asked if Ms. Henche would like to see another use on the
property. Ms. Henche stated she prefers to see the lot remain vacant.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mrs. Pat Johnson, 4207 66th Avenue North, who stated there
will be no place for people to park if a church is located on the lot.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Ms. Carol Behne, 6530 Indiana Avenue North, who stated
there would be a big problem if access from the church is made to Indiana Avenue
North. She said she has three small children and she fears the dangerous conditions
of the increased traffic. She added the traffic flow would increase in the future
if membership grows and noted that now she can see traffic on Brooklyn Boulevard
which is heavy even on Sunday evenings.
Mayor Nyquist inquired if there was anyone present who wished to speak at the public
hearing. No one appeared to speak and he entertained a motion to close the public
hearing.
There was a motion by Councilmember Hawes and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
close the public hearing. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Lhotka,
Scott, Hawes, and Theis. Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Theis to
table Application No. 85009 submitted by Foundation Stone Ministries, Inc. to the
August 12, 1985 City Council meeting, at which time the Mayor and City Council will
have received information on the property tax of the property as well as a police
report with the traffic counts and accident history on Brooklyn Boulevard and the
surrounding area.
7 -22 -85 -8-
Mayor Nyquist asked if the delay would be detrimental to the applicant, and he
recognized Mark Anderson, representing Foundation Stone Ministries, Inc., who
stated he is following a tight time frame. Mr. Anderson asked what difference it
would make having traffic counts, and suggested that the median on Brooklyn
Boulevard not be extended to prohibit U- turns. Councilmember Theis asked for
additional information on the 7:00 p.m. Sunday service, and Mr. Anderson stated it
would be a small prayer service. Councilmember Theis stated he is concerned about
eliminating the median to allow left turn traffic into the property, especially with
the traffic exiting the freeway onto Brooklyn Boulevard.
Upon vote being taken on the motion to table Application No. 85009, the following
voted in favor thereof: Mayor Nyquist, i

7� FROM: Gary Shallcross, Planner
DATE: August 6, 1985
SUBJECT: Performance Guarantee for Hi Crest Square Estates
The following performance guarantee is recommended for foreclosure for failure to
perform work required by City Council approval of Application No. 82023.
1. Hi Crest Square Estates
Fremont Place and 69th Avenue North
Planning Commission Application No. 82023
Amount of Guarantee - $45,000 Letter of Credit
An inspection of the Hi Crest Square Estates development on August 5, 1985 showed
that a number of trees and shrubs which were reported dead in a June 3, 1985 status
report to the developer (attached) had been replaced, as reported by H. E. Homes in
a letter dated July 29, 1985 (received by hand delivery August 1, 1985). However,
since June 3, 1985, other plantings have died. Plantings which now appear to be
dead include the following:
-A Littleleaf Linden at the west end of 68th Avenue North
-Five Redtwig Dogwoods at the west end of the pond
-Five Russian Olives along the east side of the development
In addition, there are five plantings around the site, ranging from shrubs to
decorative trees to a shade tree near the southeast corner of the site that are all
marginal at this time.
The areas noted in the June 3, 1985 report as bare or weedy are generally still bare
and weedy. Some seeding was done in a bare spot on the south end of Fremont Place.
The berm along 69th has been mowed as has the area west of the fence. But, weeds
constitute 30% to 70% of the ground cover on the berms around the site. An area
along the south edge of the project (within the fence along the south property
line) has never been sodded, is not mowed, and continues to be a weed patch. The
southeast and southwest corners of the property are still bare for the most part
and tend to be neglected.
Regarding other deficiences noted in the June 3, 1985 status report, there still is
no pump installed at the pond to keep the water level at a certain minimum elevation.
The water appears somewhat murky though no algae have formed on the surface. To my
knowledge, the construction debris, which was reported to have been thrown into the
pond by construction workers, has not been removed. _
The parking stalls have not been striped in the common parking area. Areas of
pavement settling in 68th Avenue North have not been filled in. A storm sewer line
east of Fremont Place, between 6832 and 6836 Fremont Place is not draining properly,
according to the homeowner's association and may need repair.
Memo
Page 2
August 6, 1985
The Hi Crest Square Estates development plan received approval on August 9, 1982
under Planning Commission Application No. 82023. Site work began in the fall of
1982 and the first permits for building construction were issued in October of
1982. Construction continued through 1983 and into mid 1984. Landscaping, for
the most part, was left until late summer and early fall of 1984 when staff warned
the developer to complete site work or the City would foreclose on the financial
guarantee. The site and the pond area especially have been neglected by the
developer throughout the construction process and have been a source of complaints
from the residents.
As has been noted, the developer was notified in early June, 1985 of continuing site
deficiencies and given until August 1, 1985 to complete the work. H. E. Homes has
replaced some plantings and delivered a letter to the City Hall on August 1, 1985
describing their efforts. The only response from Bergstrom Realty (the obligor)
has been a phone call from Ken Bergstrom on July 26, 1985 in which he informed me
that the matter of the pump had been turned over to Merila and Associates in
December of 1984 and that nothing had been done. Mr. Bergstrom complained that he
had paid for engineering services once and wasn't going to pay again for this work..
I pointed out to Mr. Bergstrom that that was a matter between him and Mr. Merila,
that the City held the guarantee against Bergstrom Realty, and that the deadline
for completion of-the work was fast approaching.
I can only conclude from the developer's failure to perform the required work and
from the general history of neglect with this project that the required work will
not be completed within a reasonable time, unless it is completed at the direction
of the City. I, therefore, recommend that the City foreclose on the $45,000 Letter
of Credit posted by Bergstrom Realty and utilize the available funds to complete
the site work in accordance with the approved site plan and community standards.

DESCRIPTION OF REMAINING IMPROVEMENTS OR CORRECTIONS:
Landscaping The following is a list g of plantings that have not survived the past
winter and must be replaced.
-Black Hills Spruce (22'): 2 nearly dead, one near 69th, one at south end of project.
Littleleaf Linden (12 "): One dead near intersection of Fremont Place & 67th Lane.
Radiant Crab (5'):• Four (4) dead at various locations around the site.
- Russian Olive (7/8 "): Eleven (11) dead at various locations around the site.

General Site Improvements: There are some low spots in the street on 68th Lane that
should be filled in.
- Parking spaces in the common areas are not striped.
-The storm sewer line east of Fremont Place, between 6832 and 6836 Fremont Place
is still not functioning properly according to the association and must be repaired.
Other Improvements: The pump to maintain an adequate elevation in the pond has not
been installed. The pump should be placed approximately 6" to 1'
below the level of the storm sewer outlet designed so that it will
shut off automatically when the proper elevation is achieved. It
should not run continuously pumping water into the storm sewer
system. The aerator which has been purchased is not hooked up and
operational. The electrical service for the aerator needs to be
completed so that it can be put to use during the summer months.
The aerator has not been required of this project,but it is
recommended. —
The association has reported that there is construction debris in
the pond. Any such debris should be removed as soon as possible.
The pond is not a garbage pit. Also, a small pile of bituminous
material has been left along the curb in the common parking area
off Fremont Place, just south of 68th Lane. This material should
be removed immediately along with any other leftover construction
materials around the site.
Finally, it should be noted that the fence along the south side of the project ties
into the garages serving the apartments to the south. This leaves a strip of land that
actually belongs to the apartments within the physical bounds of the townhouse complex.
We would not absolutely forbid this arrangement, but it could lead to a civil dispute
at some time in the future. There should be a definite written understanding between
the association and the owner of the apartments if this arrangement is to continue.
The deficiencies outlined above must be corrected and completed by August 1, 1985 or
staff will recommend to the City Council that the performance guarantee be foreclosed
on and the work completed by the City (or under contract). I see no reason to extend
further time for work that would be done now if it had been done right to begin with.
The completion date for this project has long since passed. The units are completed and
occupied. The site work should be finaled out immediately so that the homeowner's
association can assume responsibility for maintenance.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact either myself or Plan-
ning Director Ronald Warren. Your cooperation will be appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
Gary Shallcross

Dear Mr. Johnson:
North Ridge Management Corporation met last night to discuss
a management contract with Brutger for the Brookwood Property.
After much discussion, it was decided that because of our own
project regarding elderly housing, we do not have the adequate
number of personnel to expand our services to Brookwood at this
point in time.
Although we have a special interest in Brooklyn Center, we feel
that we would do an injustice to both Brutger and North Ridge
if we spread ourselves to thin.
We appreciated our dialogue with you.

I want to thank you for taking the time to talk with me regarding
our property management services. I have enclosed a brief description
of who Realty Management agement Services, Inc. is and what we do, along
with a listing of the properties that we currently manage.
As you know we are involved in all aspects of the property management
business. In addition to managing subsidized programs under the
• 236 and Section 8 programs, we also have a great deal of experience
with market rate properties. We have experience in managing properties
not only n the Minneapolis-St. -
y nneapohs St. Paul area, but also in outstate
Minnesota, the Chicago area, Texas, Illinois, Nevada, South Dakota
and North Dakota.
I would like to give you a call sometime within the next week to
set up a meeting so we can discuss the various aspects of our manage-
ment. Again, thank you for your time. I look forward to meeting
with you in the near future.

(RMS)
RMS - Who we are and what we do
Realty Management Services, Inc. (RMS) is a Minnesota
corporation established in September, 1975. Since that
time, RMS has been serving those segments of the real
estate industry which require unusually strong marketing
and management skills -- commercial and residential
developments, including rental properties, cooperatives
and condominiums.
• With corporate headquarters at 2001 Killebrew Drive,
Minneapolis, Minnesota, the management team is lead
by Thomas W. LaSalle, President, and JoAnn D. Rafferty,
Vice President in charge of residential property. Also
located in the Minneapolis office is the RMS executive
and administrative staff, which is comprised of Certified
Property Managers, Marketing, maintenance and support
personnel responsible for the management of over 40
properties, which produce annual net revenues in excess
of $25,000,000. In addition to our headquarters, we
have a branch office in Lisle, Illinois where a'Property
Manager is readily available to local properties.
•
From the main office in Minneapolis and a branch office
in the Chicago area, RMS manages over 40 properties
which house some 4,000 families. Our experience includes
the management of sites in large cities and small towns,
inner city and suburban areas, in places as diverse
as Minneapolis and Corpus Christi, Chicago and Spring
Grove, Las Vegas and Bismarck. Such wide ranging exper-
ience provides the kind of housing market knowledge
which produces innovative solutions to problems created
by the constantly changing real estate scene, as it
applies to condominium and cooperative management.
Our- experience in the development of residential pro-
perties adds the dimension of depth to the breadth of
housing knowledge mentioned above. The RMS principals
and staff have developed more than twenty residential
properties ranging in size from 20 unit suburban townhouse
projects to high rise apartment buildings. This develop-
ment work has provided RMS with the technical, hands -on
experience necessary for understanding the implementation
of solutions to any housing problems which may arise.
We can advise you in the handling of any difficulties,
whether they be related to the physical structure of
your building or the financial structuring of your
mortgage.
i
S In addition, the RMS staff has management experience
with a wide variety of housing types. The properties
in our management portfolio include rentals, cooperatives
and condominiums. The properties range from low and
medium income federally- financed housing to middle and
high income structures with conventional financing.
The kinds of administrative, financial and social issues
which arise in these different housing types call for
varying types of solutions and expertise. What does
not vary from one property type to the next is the over-
riding RMS concern for both the well being of the
residents and the protection and enhancement of the
. properties.

CERTIFIED MAIL
Attention: Wally Johnson
Dear Wally,
As you and Brutgers have a reputation of not knowing about existing
problems at Brookwood Estates, I am sending this certified mail.
Only July 27th after being out of the house for over twelve hours we
were met with a horrid stench. It was coming from the kitchen sink area.
We identify it with sewer gas. We filled the sinks with water and opened all
the windows and turned on the fan. We have been living like that since.
On Monday we reported it to Jan Huebner and she said she would take care
of it. On Wednesday nite at 6:00 she had several persons from Akins Mechanical
come and take a look. In moments before they came in I had dumped a half bottle
of Mr. Clean into the drains, naturally that broke the horrid smell. These
persons went down into 410 -310 -210 and found those drains all dry. They assumed
that would solve the problem.
Thursday our smell was back. Our neighbor next door smelled it and also
thought.it to be sewer gas. Jan came back up and she too could smell it and
put in a call for Akins. Another person came from Akins. This persons had
checked the roof vent and upon his checking the kitchen sink area stated it
was the "water ". He said you never know where they are getting their water from
City of Minneapolis or other places. Now the City of Brooklyn Center does not
buy water from Minneapolis. We have our own deep wells. I have worked for the
city and connected with the water department for twenty seven years.- To us it
was just one more excuse. This person had an unsanitary jar and took a sample
and left saying "He'll check it out ".
Up to the period of July 27th we have had no smelly water and still do not
in the wash room or bath room. I would like this problem resolved for our health
sake and for the other tenants. I do not believe it is the water as from the
day we moved in there August 3, 1984 we have had no such problem.
We are waiting a reply from you and your reply with be shared with the City
of Brooklyn Center.
Regards,
Jean E. Champlin

FROM: Ruth
DATE: August 2, 1985
UNIT 510 —Champlin's
we will be recieving a certified letter to ATTN: WALLY JOHNSON
regarding this unit.
On 7/31/85 Jan informed me that she is having a problem with
this unit having a sewer gas smell coming from their kitchen sink.
Jan said the Champlin's had informed her of this when they came home
from vacation - she made a note of it and did not think it was anything
of the serious nature until
the continued
y to notify her of this problem
and
she
then went and checked it out herself on 7/31/85 as they informed
her it was continuosly getting worse.
On 7/31/85 after talking to Jan I called Atkins Mechanical and talked to
Howard and Brad.
They said it sounded like possibly a dry trap, . or the
owner put something down it before going on vacation.
I informed them that they are being very persistant about this problem and
we need to have someone check it out today!
Per Jan - Atkins was there after hours on 7/31/85 - both Brad and Howard.
The smell was not there at the time because the owner had just poured a
half bottle of Mr. Clean down the drains they gpt there.
They did find the trap to be dry. They then checked the units below
them and the traps in these units were also all dry. Jan was not aware
of the fact that she needs to be running water in these unoccupied units
on a regular basis.
On 8/2/85 at 4:30 PM Jan called me back and informed me that they ( Champlin's)
were sending a certified letter to the City, Wally, and everyone else
• about this problem.
Jan said they did complain about the odor problem again on 8/1/85 and Brad
from Atkins came back out again and checked all possible sources and found
no other problems. _

Jan informed me that on 8/2/85 her cleaning lady and herself went
through the units and turned on the faucets, flushed the stools, put
water in the traps, etc. to try and eliminate the sewer gas smell that
can occur from having dry traps. _
Jan did comment, that because of all the water they used for this process
they do have a sulfar smell in the hallway.

RE: Installation of Sidewalk on West Side of Humboldt Avenue North
between Amy Lane and 71st Avenue North
Late last fall we received a request to establish a new school
crossing location at Humboldt Avenue and 70th Avenue North. When this
request was first reviewed by the Administrative Traffic Committee and
with Evergreen School officials it appeared that this would mean
having 3 designated school crossings in 3 blocks -ie.- the two
existing crossings at 71st and 72nd Avenue, plus the proposed new one
at 70th Avenue. Because of the difficulty of patrolling and enforcing
3 school crosswalks, and because of the inconvenience to drivers, this
request was initially denied.
Subsequent discussion suggested that by installing a sidewalk on the
West side of Humboldt Avenue between Amy Lane and 71st Avenue, the
school children from Amy Lane could be required to cross at 72nd
Avenue instead of at 71st Avenue, thereby eliminating the need for a
crossing at 71st Avenue. Accordingly, the Administrative Traffic
Committee recommends installation of this one block of sidewalk (see
map attached), and establishment of a new school crossing at 70th
Avenue. This proposal has been discussed with Ken Berg, Principal at
Evergreen School, and meets his support and approval.
Two proposals for this work have been obtained. We recommend
acceptance of the low bid of Halvorson Construction in the amount of
$5,536.00. A resolution for this purpose is provided for
consideration by the City Council.

RE: Replacement of Windows at Swimming Pool
The 1985 budget for the Community Center provides $7,800 for
replacing 6 thermopane windows and $7,000 for weatherstripping
the patio doors at the swimming pool. The reason for replacing
these 6 windows is that their thermopane seals have broken,
allowing water and chlorine to get between the two panes of glass
and etching the glass, creating a cloudy effect. There is no way
to correct this condition other than to replace the windows.
Three quotations for this work have been received, as shown on
the attached resolution. We recommend accepting the "low bid"
from the Ford - McNutt Glass Company.

RE: Bids for Contract 1985 -L
Installation of Fuel Tanks and Dispensers at Municipal
Service Garage
In accordance with our advertisement for bids (published both in
the Construction Bulletin and in the Brooklyn Center Post) bidswere
opened yesterday for this contract.
Only one bid was received - from Determan Welding and Tank Service,
Inc. - with a total bid of $49,807.00. That bid also was accompanied
by a letter which added two conditions to their bid, i.e.:
"l. Dowatering
Should water be fuel contaminated and require special
treatment for disposal into sanitary or storm sewer, we
would request an additional charge for this service.
2. Weather Condition
Price bid is for non frozen soil, warm weather. If other
conditions exist, there will be a request for an additional
charge."
In addition, the Bidder submitted an alternate bid which contemplates
using earth mounding over the tanks (instead of the specified
concrete base and strapping) as an anti - floatation system. For
this alternate, the bidder offers a $3,000 deduct.

Review and Comments
1. It appears that the reason only one bid was received is that
most dealers who are engaged in this type of work do not
regularly read the publications in which the ads appeared.
We have checked with 3 other possible installers and each
indicated they would be interested in the project, but
simply were unaware that bids were being taken.
2. The "condition" regarding dewatering is a reasonable condition.
Discussion with Determan indicates that this condition was
added because, in drilling a test well at the site, they
encountered contaminated soil. Unfortunately, this item is
extremely difficult to quantify.
3. The "Weather Condition" imposed by the bidder.is unacceptable
since, if the contract is awarded, the time schedule is
under the contractor's control.
4. Our specifications did allow bidders to submit alternate bids
regarding anti - floatation systems. However, this bidder did
not submit his proposed design for pre - approval as required
by the specifications.
5. Our estimate of construction cost was $45,000.
Between now and the Council meeting on Monday, August 12, 1985,
we will have Soil Testing Services (STS), a professional engineering
firm conduct further testing and analysis in order to quantify
the scope of the problem relating to.contaminated water. And, we
will attempt to identify the source of the contamination detected
by Determan. At least two possible sources exist: (1) a fuel
spill and (2) a leak in the existing tanks. We will also ask STS
to review the alternate design as proposed by the bidder.
Prior to the Council meeting we will also review the time scheduling
requirements, to see whether a 2 week delay in award of contract
would make it improbable that the project would be completed before
winter.
After compiling the information,'we plan to be ready to submit our
recommendations at the Council meeting on August 12, 1985. Our
options will include:
Option 1 - accept bid as submitted (with or without alternate bid),
but rejecting the "Weather Condition" of that bid.
Option 2 - rejecting the bid, and authorizing new bids to be taken
on August 22nd, for consideration by the Council on August
26th.
Option 3 - rejecting the bid, and wait until next year before
proceeding with the project.

RE: H.V.A.C. Improvements to West Fire Station /Liquor Store No. 2
In accordance with the approved 1985 budget for the Government
Buildings Division we recommend proceeding with improvements to the
H.V.A.C. system at the West Fire Station /Liquor Store No. 2 complex.
The improvements originally contemplated included removal of the
existing boiler which serves both buildings and installation of two
separate systems; ie. a radiant heat system to serve the apparatus
room of the Fire Station and installation of a "rooftop" heating and
air conditioning system for the Liquor Store.
After detailed evaluation of existing conditions and performance
evaluation, our consulting mechanical engineers ( Oftedal, Locke and
Broadston) have advised us that the existing boiler is in good
condition, but that some modifications need to be made including
installation of a new burner unit and a "zoning" system. In addition,
modifications are needed to the heating units in each building. It
is their opinion, and I agree that this will give us a better system
at a lower cost.
Accordingly, we submit, for consideration by the City Council, a
resolution establishing the project and approving Oftedal, Locke and
Broadston's proposal for design services at a cost not to exceed
$3,400.00.

Dear Sir:
At your request we submit this proposal for mechanical and electrical engineering
services for the subject project.
We will provide all normal engineering tasks to survey the areas relative to
• the construction anticipated, design the heating system modifications, draw
plans and write specifications. It is anticipated that the total project
construction cost will not exceed $15,000.00, and therefore formal public
bid advertisement will not be necessary.
During the construction phase of the project we will check all shop drawings
submitted, and make job site observations and reports to monitor compliance
with the construction documents.
Based on several meetings subsequent to our initial survey and report..
dated May 13, 1985, the scope of this project will include the following at
the West Fire Station:
1. Boiler system revisions.
2. Liquor Store heat loss study and heating system modifications.
3. Fire Station heat loss study and hetaing system modifications.
It is imperative that, and the fee quotation assumes, that floor plans for the
West Fire Station /Liquor Store will be available.
We will perform all of the above tasks charged at the rate of $55.00 per hour
for Senior Engineers, $45.00 per hour for Junior Engineers, with a maximum fee
not to exceed $3,400.0

RE: Deferment of Special Assessments for Persons 65 Years of
Age and for Persons Who are Totally and Permanently
Disabled
Based on our earlier discussions with the City Council, we have
revised the proposed policy to provide that:
1. Applicants who meet the income guidelines must still pay for
the part of the current special levy which can be paid
without raising the applicant's aggregate total assessment
installments to over 2 per cent of his /her annual income.
Only that part of the assessment which would raise the
aggregate total installment payments over the 2 percent
"maximum" would be deferred.
2. Assessments which are levied for failure -to -pay or failure-
to-act, such as weed removals, delinquent utility bills,
nuisance abatements, etc., would not qualify for deferment
and installments for such previous assessments would not be
included in calculating the 2 percent maximum aggregate
installment.
The attached material includes:
1. Existing Resolution 78 -87
2. Our original survey questionaire to other cities
3. "Table of Results" of our policy survey -
4. Summary of individual cities' policies
5. Proposed new application form
6. Tabulation showing effects of currently proposed policy on 6
example applicants, showing the effect of using alternate
percentage maximums from 1% to 3%. (The proposed policy is
submitted based on the 2% maximum, but could be amended to
any other percentage which the City Council may wish to
adopt.)

RE: Five Year Municipal State Aid Street Construction Program
Attached is a copy of a memo from the Office of State Aid /MNDOT
in which we are requested to submit a 5 year program for
construction on our Municipal State Aid Street System.
Accordingly, our office has developed the proposed program as
described in the attached resolution and recommend consideration
thereof by the City Council.
1. Adoption of this resolution in no way commits the City to
proceed with any or all of the projects listed. Rather, it
is simply a preliminary program which indicates the City's
intent to utilize its Municipal State Aid funds. One major
purpose is to convince the State Legislature that it should
continue to provide this form of funding by showing that
cities do have projects which need to be constructed and that
these funds will be properly utilized.
2. The resolution as prepared shows over - programming in relation
to available funds. This has been done deliberately in
consideration of the following factors:
a. The estimated allottments are probably conservative. We
do expect these allotments to increase due to a phasing
in of the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax transfer to the
Transportation Fund.
b. Our estimated costs for most of the projects are
conservative (i.e. - hopefully the estimated costs are
high).
c. Some projects will undoubtedly be delayed or dropped from
the 5 year program, while others may be added.
We will be prepared to discuss the proposed program in detail at
the August 12, 1985 Council meeting.

SUBJECT: Continuation of the 5 -Year Construction Program Reporting
The Municipal Screening Committee at its October 1981 meeting passed the
directive which states that
By January 1, 1983, each municipality shall submit a revised
5 -year construction program which has been approved by their
city council. This program shall include sufficient
projects to utilize all existing and anticipated funds
accruing during the life of the program. The program will
be updated at 3 -year intervals and a review made at that
time to ascertain program implementation.
The requirements were reviewed and it was determined that this information is
valuable to the Unencumbered Construction Fund Subcommittee, as well as,
useful to the City Engineers in making the city councils more aware of State
Aid funding.
To comply with this directive, each city is requested to submit a
council - approved, itemized 5 -year program of proposed construction by
priority, showing the termini, length, estimated cost, and type of anticipated
projects on the enclosed forms. Include only State Aid expenditures in this
report.
This submittal should be returned to the District State Aid Engineer by
Aug. 15, 1985.
We are returning a copy of your previous 5 -year construction program to those
cities which submitted a report in 1982. These reports could be helpful in
preparing this year's submittal.

referred to as the "Owner ", and the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota
hereinafter referred to as the "City ";

lots to be known as Block 1, Lots 1 and 2, "Tanami Addition" herein
referred to as the "Property ", under Planning Commission Application
No. 85015; and
WHEREAS, said Property was not assessed for its equitable
share of water main costs in conjunction with the construction of said
improvements abutting the Property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT AGREED THAT:
The Owner acknowledges the benefits received from connection
to said water main and that he is responsible for payment of related
hookup charges. In accordance with City policy, the amount of said
hookup charges shall be based upon rates established by the City
Council in the year in which application for utility connection is

follows:
LOT 1 Frontage $ 8,494.38
Area Credit $- 3,557.92
TOTAL $ 4,936.46
r'
LOT 2 Frontage $ 4,387.44

referenced connections only. Further construction on the
Property, or any portion thereof, may require additional
assessments to be levied.
It is further agreed that such assessment upon being
certified to the County Auditor to be spread upon the tax
rolls, shall be treated in all respects as though they
originally had been assessed at the time the improvements
were installed under the provisions of Chapter 429 of the

To: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
From: Peter M. Koole, City Assessor,
Subject: Property Tax Status of Proposed Site of
Foundation Ministries Church
The proposed site of the Foundation Ministries Church contains
4.48 acres. If it were to be fully developed as an apartment
complex, we estimate it would hold 72 units. If developed
as an office building, it could contain a 48,800 square foot
building. Adding the three adjoining residential parcels,
we would get 86 apartments, and 58,400 square feet of office
space.
Assuming an average tax per rental apartment unit of $700.00
and per square foot of office building of $2.00, we yield
the following results.

I have also included a copy of a memo dated September 3, 1981
that tries to answer questions about our general tax exempt
versus taxable relationships. I believe this data to still
be valid since we only do a tax exempt assessment every six
years and will not complete the next one until 1986. The
1980 data used at that time is still the most current data
we have available.

MEMORANDUM
Date: September 3, 1981
To: Gerald Splinter
From: Peter Roole
Subject: Comparison of Exempt Property
I have attached a comparison of the larger cities in Hennepin
County comparing the 1980 Exempt property values to the 1980
Taxable Assessment.
It would appear that Brooklyn Center has an average amount of
exempt parcels based upon a comparison of the number of exempt
properties compared to the number of taxable properties, however
we are below average in the average value of our exempt parcels
and the percentage that is of the taxable value. We are also
below average in the per capita value of our exempt assessment
roll..
The averages are weighted in some cities because of concentrations
f
o large blocks of value. For example, Brooklyn P
k n r
• p y Park has two
institutions of higher learning, Bloomington has one. St. Louis
Park has a large medical facility, and Richfield has the airport.
I guess with as much of our precious land that is off the tax roll,
it could be worse, if we would have been blessed with one or more
of these super - regional facilit & &s.

WHEREAS, Application No. 85009 submitted by Foundation Stone Ministries,
Inc. proposes rezoning from R5 to C1 the parcel of land at the southwest corner
of I -94 and Brooklyn Boulevard, legally described as Lot 1, Block 1, Northgate
Addition; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly called public hearing
on May 9, 1985, when testimony regarding the request was taken; and
WHEREAS, the application was referred to the West Central Neighborhood
Advisory Group which, in minutes of a meeting on June 6, 1985, recommended the
rezoning; and
WHEREAS, the Commission further considered the matter on July 11,
1985 in light of the Comprehensive Plan and the Guidelines for Evaluating Rezonings
from Section 35 -208 of the Zoning Ordinance and took further testimony regarding
the request at a duly called public hearing; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended approval of Application
No. 85009 by its adoption of Planning Commission Resolution No. 85 -1; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center that Application No. 85009 submitted by Foundation Stone Ministries,

MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY
OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
STUDY SESSION
JULY 25, 1985
CITY HALL
CALL TO ORDER
The Planning Commission met in study session and was called to order by Chairman Pro
tem Nancy Manson at 7:31 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Chairman Pro tem Nancy Manson, Commissioners Molly Malecki, Lowell Ainas, Carl.
Sandstrom, Mike Nelson and Wallace Bernards. Also present were Director of
Planning and Inspection Ronald Warren and Planner Gary Shallcross. (Chairman Lucht
had noted at the end of the July 11 meeting that he would not be present for the July
25 meeting and was excused).
APPROVAL OF MINUTES JULY 11, 1985
Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Ainas to approve the minutes
of the July 11, 1985 Planning Commission meeting as submitted. Voting in favor:
Chairman Pro tem Manson, Commissioners Malecki, Ainas, Nelson and Bernards. Not
voting: Commissioner Sandstrom. The motion passed.
APPLICATION NO. 85017 (Arby's)
Following the Chairman's explanation, the Secretary introduced the first item of
business, a request for special use permit approval to operate a convenience food
restaurant in the Brookdale Shopping Mall. The Secretary reviewed the contents of
the staff report (see Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No.
85017 attached). The Secretary also discussed the question of whether a. special
use permit should be required for operations such as fast food restaurants or game
rooms in the Brookdale Shopping Center. He asked the Commission whether they
wished to consider waving the special use permit requirement for such uses in
Brookdale in the future.. Commissioner Ainas suggested setting a floor area
threshhold of perhaps 250,000 square feet, above which the center would be exempted
from seeking additional special use permits. Commissioner Bernards asked whether
the hours of the restaurant would be later than those of the shopping center. The
Secretary responded in the affirmative and noted the need for special exiting
provisions from the restaurant to prevent patrons from entering the general mall
area.
PUBLIC HEARING (Application No. 85017)
Chairman Pro tern Manson then opened the meeting for a public hearing and asked
whether anyone present wished to speak regarding the application. Hearing none,
she called for a motion to close the public hearing.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Sandstrom to close the
public hearing. The motion passed unanimously.
Chairman Pro tern Manson then asked the applicant whether he had anything to add.
Mr. Chuck Nadler of Arby's explained that the hours of the restaurant would be until
10:00 p.m. and that there would be a separate gate set up within the mall to channel
7 -25 -85 -1-
t l
restaurant patrons out of the shopping center after the mall was closed. Mr. Nadler
also stated that Arby's would be requesting a sign variance to allow a sign on the
outside wall of the mall not adjacent to the Arby's space itself. He showed the
Commission a colored rendering of the type of sign that they would be requesting a
variance for.
In response to a question from Chairman Pro tem Manson, the Secretary explained that
multi -tenant retail centers are allowed to have either common signery or tenant
individual signery along the wall area where a specific tenant abuts. He cited the
example of Westbrook Mall as a center which had collective tenant identification
signery around a common sign band on the building. He recommended that the Planning
C
ommission k
to e no action on
a variance request before a formal .submittal had been
made and the staff had a chance to comment on the ro osal in light of ordinance
P P
standards.
In answer to another question from Chairman Pro tem Manson, Mr. Nadler pointed out
that special use permits are not required in other major shopping malls such as
Southdale and Ridgedale. He asked whether the conditions applying to the approval
of the special use permit were typical of those applied to other businesses. The
Secretary responded in the affirmative. Mr. Nadler stated that, if malls were
exempted from seeking special use permits for individual tenants, he asked that
Arby's also be exempted from the special use category. He stated that he did not
like the possibility that the permit could be revoked as noted in the conditions of
approval.
Chairman Pro tem Manson asked whether Arby's would be the entire space that
had been occupied by The Brothers Restaurant. Mr. Nadler responded in the
negative, noting that there would be approximately 1,500 sq. ft. of floor area left
over.
ACTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO. 85017 (Arby's)
Motion by Commissioner Sandstrom seconded by Commissioner Nelson to recommend
approval of Application No. 85017, subject to the following conditions:
1. The special use permit is subject to all applicable codes,
ordinances and regulations and any violation thereof shall be
grounds for revocation.
2. Building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building
Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance
of permits.
3• Special use permit approval is exclusive of all signery which is
subject to Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances.
Voting in favor: Chairman Pro tem Manson, Commissioners Malecki, Ainas, Sandstrom,
Nelson and Bernards. Voting against: none. The motion passed.
Chairman Pro tem Manson asked the Commission what their feeling was regarding
special use permits in Brookdale. Commissioner Ainas recommended that the City
adopt an ordinance exempting Brookdale from the special use permit process for
individual tenants.
ACTION RECOMMENDING DRAFTING OF AN ORDINACE AMENDMENT TO EXEMPT TENANTS WITHIN A
SHOPPING MALL OVER 250,000 SQ. FT. OF GROSS FLOOR AREA FROM SPECIAL USE PERMIT STATUS
There was a motion by Commissioner Ainas seconded by Commissioner Sandstrom to
7 -25 -85 -2-
i r
recommend to the City Council the adoption of an ordinance to exempt tenants within a
shopping mall of over 250,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area from special use permit
status and directing staff to prepare such an ordinance. Voting in favor:
Chairman Pro tem Manson, Commissioners Nalecki, Ainas, Sandstrom, Nelson and
Bernards. Voting against: none. The motion passed.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
a. Landscaping Plan for the Shingle Creek Business Center
The Planner then reviewed with the Planning Commission at some length the proposed
landscape improvements to the industrial buildings within in the Shingle Creek
Business Center.
He r
evi ewed lans for the S ec. 1�4 building, the
p S 10
P �,
Sp
building, and Shingle Creek Plaza II. He pointed out that Lombard Properties, the
developer of these projects, wishes to increase the landscaping around these
buildings in order to attract the best possible tenants. He noted the addition of
trees in greenstrip areas and parking lot delineators. He also pointed out large
pedestrian access areas to major entrances to the buildings. The Planner also
reviewed with the Commission some ideas for signery which had been conveyed by the
landscape architect for the project. He stated that Lombard wished to have common
identification sign or the Shingle Creek Business Center that would not be allowed
under current ordinance because it would constitute an off -site sign. He also
stated that Lombard Properties is considering i
p d individual freestanding signs � � for g
tenants within the buildings, which would also not be permitted under the current
Sign Ordinance. The Planning Commission generally expressed their support for the
landscape improvements proposed by Lombard.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Ainas to adjourn the meeting
of the Planning Commission. The motion passed unanimously. The Planning
Commission adjourned at 8:16 p.m.

R2 or R3 zoned property at a property line or a street line.
The applicant has submitted a floor plan for the tenant space located where
the old Brothers
Restaurant was. It shows 138 seat it
s. Retail centers t s are allowed
to have u to 1
0 0 of their ear gross floor area devoted to restaurant use without
requiring additional - parking based on the restaurant formula. With the new
Arby's, the total floor space devoted to restaurant use in Brookdale will be
23,093 sq. ft., approximately 2.3% of the total gross floor area of the center.
Therefore, no additional parking is required for the proposed restaurant.
The applicant has submitted no letter addressing the Standards for a Special
Use Permit. However, in light of the location of the proposed use, staff see
no conflict with the special use standards. Approval is, therefore, recommended
subject to at least the following conditions:
1. The special use permit is subject to all applicable codes,
ordinances and regulations and any violation thereof shall
be grounds for revocation.
2. Building plans are subject to review and approval by the
Building Official with respect to applicable codes prior
to the issuance of permits.
3. Special use permit approval is exclusive of all signery
which is subject to Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager nn,- 11
FROM: Ronald A. Warren, Director of Planning and Inspectiair .

DATE: August 1, 1985
SUBJECT: License Fees for Amusement Devices'
You have requested me to provide you with a report . regarding license fees for amuse -
ment devices in response to Theisen Vending Company's pending request for a reduc-
tion in such fees.
As you will recall, the City Council on May 24, 1982 adopted Ordinance No. 82 -5
which established various regulations and a system of licensing for amusement
devices. Those provisions became effective on June 5, 1982. Fees were established
as follows:
Amusement Device Operator License - $50.00 per year per machine (Kiddie
Rides - $10.00 per year per ride)
Amusement Device Vendor - $150.00 per year.
Much discussion and deliberation was undertaken by the City Council at that time
before the City Council arrived at the appropriate fees.
Attached is a copy of my May 21, 1982 memo to you relating primarily to the
matter of licensing fees. That memorandum contains two license fee surveys; a
report from Gary Shallcross regarding an analysis of the costs for administering
the licensing ordinance; and a letter and attachments from Steve Nelson of the
Lynbrook Bowl outlining the Chamber of Commerce recommendation for a $40.00 per
machine annual license fee.
As the May 21, 1982 memo indicates, a conservative approach would dictate a fee of
at least $50.00 per machine per year as appropriate, but it was also believed that
a $75.00 per machine annual fee could be justified at that time as well
I feel the information provided in Mr.Shallcross's analysis is applicable today with
various adjustments to make the amounts reflective of 1985 costs. I have also
attached copies of the most recent Association of Metropolitan Municipalities
Municipal Fee Survey relating to amusement and commercial recreation license fees
for community comparisons. Approximately 43 municipalities license amusement
devices, 13 of which have higher license fees than Brooklyn Center, 24 of which
are lower than Brooklyn Center, 4 of which are same and 2 of which cannot be
determined whether their fees are higher or lower than Brooklyn Center's.
Revenue from amusement device licenses since 1982 is as follows:
1982 - $9,951.00
1983 - 13,735.00
1984 - 11,557.00
1985 - 4,726.00 (through June)
w
Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager

August 1, 1985
It is anticipated that 1986 revenues, based on current license fees and trends,will
be approximately $7,000.00.
I believe that our current license fees for amusement device operators, vendors and
kiddie rides can be justified and are appropriate. Consideration is also being
given to increasing these fees for 1986 as part of a general overall adjustment in
all license fees.

�r MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Ronald A. Warren, Director of Planning and Inspectib
DATE: May 21, 1982
SUBJECT: Ordinance Amendment Regulating and Licensing Amusement Devices
On May 24, 1982 the City Council will be considering and holding a public hearing on
two ordinance amendments involving the regulation and licensing of amusement devices.
These amendments had a first reading on April 26, 1982 at which time the City Council
accepted comments on the amendments from two interested parties. Generally, their
comments were favorable regarding the proposed regulations but were negative regarding
the proposed license fees. It was stated that the proposed $75 per machine for an
operator's license was almost double that of the Metro area. I believe the City of
Minneapolis fee of $37 per machine was quoted as a standard.
I had the opportunity to meet on.May 6, 1982 with a Chamber of Commerce committee
formed to review the ordinance amendments and review and discuss this matter with
them. Most of the discussion centered around the proposed fees and, in my opinion,
there was little objection to the other aspects of the ordinance amendments. I feel
a legitimate point was raised during that meeting regarding the proposed investigation -
fee. The point being that establishments holding liquor and beer licenses have already
submitted to extensive background investigations (and paid an investigation fee)
relating to those licenses and should, therefore, not be required to pay an additional
investigation fee. I concur with the above logic and would offer, as a matter of
poiicy, a recommendation that any establishment having already been investigated by
the Police Department for some other license and having paid an appropriate investi-
gation fee not be charged an additional investigation fee.
Other points have been raised regarding the comparison of the proposed fees with that
of other communities. A copy of a survey of amusement device license fees which was
done by the staff is attached with this report. This is the same survey that is part
of my April 23, 1982 memo. Also attached is a corrected copy of a license fee survey
given me by Norm Pink of Advanced Carter which is the basis for his claim that our
proposed fee is almost twice the average in the Metro area.
The average per machine license cost when combining the two surveys is $53.94. I feel
that it is imperative to point out that the $37 per machine license cost given for the
City of Minneapolis does not reflect the total cost charged by that community. Attached
is a copy of the schedule for amusement device fees quoted to us by the City of
Minneapolis. We have calculated a cost per machine for each of the five categories
listed by the City of Minneapolis which is shown in parenthesis. Also on the same,
attachment is the amusement device license costs for the four surrounding cotnnunities
that license amusement devices given 10 machines at a particular location. The
average cost in the four communities in such a case would be $68.75 per machine.
To further evaluate the proposed fees we have attempted to analyze the City costs for
• administering the ordinance. Attached is a copy of a memo from Gary Shallcross to
myself regarding such a breakdown. I must point out that our analysis is guess work
to a great extent, but accurately reflects the associated costs for hourly rates and
benefits for employees, mileage costs, publication costs, building costs, etc. The
most difficult aspect in this analysis is projecting the time spent on the admini-
stration and enforcement of this ordinance. It is my opinion that the costs reflect
City costs for administration on a routine basis with little or no enforcement
- problems. Any complications or problems relating to license review and enforcement
would obviously add to the number of hours spent by the staff in processing such
applications.
Memo
Page 2
As noted in Gary's memo, a conservative estimation of the cost for the City would be
approximately $34.64 per machine. I would emphasize that an error factor of 50%
either way should be allowed for in evaluating this study.
Steve Nelson of the Lynbrook Bowl has also submitted a memo on behalf of the Chamber
of Commerce committee recommending $40 per machine as a license fee. He has also
supplied estimated City cost information. The bottom line of the two cost related
studies,even though they are estimates are not far apart.
It is the staff's feeling that a very conservative approach would dictate a fee of
at least $50 per machine as a appropriate fee. If this amount is used as abase for
a fee, careful consideration must be given to regularly changing and adjusting this
fee based on inflation. It is our feeling as well that the $75 per machine fee
originally proposed can also be justified taking into consideration all the costs
cited, a comparison of other community fees and the realization that license fees
generally are not reviewed on an annual basis and are'only adjusted approximately
every five years.; Therefore, we would continue to support the fees as proposed in
the ordinance amendment.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Ron, Warren, Director of Planning and Inspection
FROM: Gary Shallcross, Planning Assistant
SUBJECT: Cost of Administering Amusement Device Ordinance
DATE: May 20, 1982
You have asked for a compilation of those costs associated with administration of the
proposed amusement device ordinance and other City costs related to amusement devices
generally. I have decided to break these costs down into four categories: 1) direct
recurring; 2) indirect recurring; 3) direct nonrecurring; 4) indirect nonrecurring.
I must add, before going any further, that the numbers generated are approximations only.
As with all government services involving relations with the public, license administr-
ation is an inexact science with a potentially wide variation�in time spent per license.
Calculations assume 15 locations in the City with 250 machines.
Office space is calculated by taking the proportion of total staff time in the building
(566 man hours, including administrative overhead, out of 81 FTE) and multiplying by
0 4,500 sq. ft. (the area of the bldg.) at $12 /yr. /sq'. ft. Auto use is estimated at
$.40/mi and trips are expected to average 3 miles. Labor costs assume maximum salaries
and fringe benefits for the various postions involved.
Direct Recurring
Direct recurring costs are those which are directly related to the processing of a
license-a
and which recur on a yearly or less than - yearly bass. These
include:
- Receiving applications (1 hour clerk per 10 machines per year).
Application reviewed by Planning and Inspections for location /type of use
(4 hr. Planning Director per location per year).
Police review of application. (excluding background investigation covered under
separate fee)
)
Check by �-
Y Lindsay per Y 4 location ( P tion per year).
Inspection by Code Enforcement Officer of new machines (z hr. per machine
license per year).
•Inspection reports (2 hr. per mach. lic. per year C -f -O 2 hr. /mach: lic./
yr.,clerk).
Submittal to City Council for approval (1/5 hr. Administrative Assistant
per location per year).
- Issuance of license (2 hr. clerical per location per year) .
- Mailing form letters (2 per location /year 4 hrs. clerical time /yr.).
- Periodic inspections of premises 2 per location /yr (1 hr. C -6 -0 /location /yr.).
Total Direct Recurring Costs:
Staff time $ 4302.50
Office space(includes 985.00 (@ $9 /s.f. on pro -rated basis)
utilities)
Postage 6.00
Auto use 180.00 trips /location /yr. @ 3 mi. per trip)
Subtotal $ 5473.50
Admin_ Overhead 500.0
Total $ 5973.50
Indirect Recurrin
Indirect recurring costs are those costs which arise because of the use of games or
the availability of games, but are not directly involved in the processing of an
amusement device license application.
These include:
- Police response to complaint calls (1 hr. /loc. /yr. /Police Officer)
Public inquiry regarding ordinance requirements (2 hr. /loc. /yr., Police
Chief or Planning Director)
Indirect Recurring Costs:
Auto use $ 36.00 (2 trips /loc. /yr.
Police response 273.16
Public Inquiry 206.29
Tota $ 515.45 -2-
Direct Nonrecurring
Direct nonrecurring costs are those expenses incurred in the initial 1.start up of the
licensing of amusement devices which will � 11 not recur until the ordinance is - reexamined
perhaps 5 years. These costs could conceivably include:
Compiling a list of machine locations and sending notices and ordinance
requirements to operators and vendors (4 hrs. clerical).
Preparation of form letters notifying operators and vendors of ordinance
requirements (2 hrs.Administrative II).
- Development of the ordinance (50 hrs. Planning Director, 50 hrs. Planning
Assistant; 5 hrs. City Attorney; 5 hrs. Police Chief; 5 hrs. City Manger;
20 hrs. Clerk III).
- Research on license fees (Planning Director 10 hrs.; Planning Assistant
15 hrs.).
-Printing osts for licenses and
9 application
forms.
• Ordinance publication costs ($213.27)
Initial paperwork 68.04
Ord. devlopment & research 3,210.00
Printing costs for license 60.00
Publication costs 213.27
$ 3,541.31
Amortized over 5 yrs. $708.26/yr.
Indirect Nonrecurring
Indirect nonrecurring are expenses which 9 h�ch
p have been incurred in the P rocess of .
regulating and policing establishments with amusement devices during the time the City
had no ordinance covering amusement devices. They are not related directly to the
preparation or enforcement of the City's.proposed ordinance and probably should not
be included in the cost of amusement device licenses. They are part of the cost of
-3-
"learning our lesson" about amusement devices, costs which lead to the proposed
ordinance. They include:
Police response to complaints arising from past game operations (50
incidents @ $25 /incident = $1250.
-Auto expense (50 x 3 mi. x .40 = $60.00)
Administrative time (200 hrs. at $30 /hr. $6000).
Total Cost = $7310.00
Amortized over 5yrs. $7,287.50/5 = $1462.00/yr.
Total Costs /Year
Compiling the foregoing costs on an annualized basis and spread over an estimated
250 machines results in the following:
Type of Cost Cost /Yr. Cost /Yr. /Machine
Direct Recurring $'5973.50 $22 2 3.91
Indirect Recurring 515.45 2.06
Direct Nonrecurring 08.2 2.
9 6 83
Indirect Nonrecurring 1462.00 5.84
Total + $.8659.21 $ 34.64
As can be seen, the proposed fee of $75 /machine is more than twice the projected cost
of regulating and policing amusement devices within the City of Brooklyn Center. The
figures projected allow for a reasonable amount of staff time spent on normal ordinance
administration and factor in the likelihood that about once in five years, there is
likely to be a problem operation that generates significant police response time and
administrative headaches. Obviously, there may be more costs if problems arise on a
more regular basis. The ordinance, however, has been designed to minimize the likeli-
hood of problem operations. Considering that we know very little about what the
actual cost of ordinance administration is likely to be, I would allow for an error
factor of as much as 50% either way. A conservative approach would certainly dictate
P y
a fee of at least $50.00. Taking inflation into account migh justify even higher fees,
up to the $75 proposed. A fee of more than $75 does not seem justifiable based on the
costs t hat have been projected. -4-
