P L:aier Ni Dear Tom:
effrey J. Strand
1.1a;y J Ejo "dt_nd The Ordinance adopting the cable TV franchise by reference
John G. Kr ssd
cay!e, contains a violations section which requires some changes.
C,Ind v L. Lavotato Our ordinances are not codified and there is no penalty
r•.^ ,haa , A. N ^sh section which applies uniformly to all sections of the Ordi-
E_uKe R. Kornarek
Joan N Erickson nance. We typically have a penalty clause for each section of
Fri '0D. Horan the ordinance book.
Section 2 of the adopting Ordinance should read as follows:
Section 2. Violations and Penalties. Any person,
as defined in the Cable Communications Ordinance, who
vi any provisions of the said Ordinance shall,
upon conviction thereof by lawful authority, be pun -
ished by fine not to exceed $500.00 or by imprison -
ment for a period not to exceed 90 days, or bot
and shall be liable for the costs of prosecution.
If you would make that change in the Ordinance (or pass this
letter along to the responsible party) it would appreciated.
Also, section 9 of City Ordinances deals with franchises and
the Cable Communications Ordinance should probably be indexed
in that section.
Please call if you have any questions.

MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY
OF B12WPIN IN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
REGULAR SESSION
MARCH 14, 1983
CITY HALL
CALL TO ORDER
The Brooklyn Center City Council met in regular session and was called to order by
Mayor Dean Nyquist at 7:06 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Gene Lhotka, Celia Scott, Bill Hawes, and Rich
Theis. Also present were City Manager Gerald Splinter, Director of Public Works Sy
Knapp, Director of Finance Paul Holmlund, Director of Planning & Inspection Ron
Warren, City Attorney Richard Schieffer, Assistant City Engineer Jim Grube, and
Administrative Assistants Brad Hoffman, and Tom Bublitz.
OPEN FORUM
Mayor q ist noted he had received a request from Mr. Ed Dilley, 6845 North York
Place to use the Open Forum session this evening.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Dilley who stated that he was upset over the proposed
condemnation of land in the area of his townhouse, and that because of the
condemnation of land the utilities in his development would have to be moved and the
roads resurfaced. He stated he was disturbed that the negotiations have been going
on with Mr. Sheehy and the City regarding the condemnation.
The Manager he Cit Man er stated that it was his understanding that Mr. Sheehy is the owner of
record for the property Mr. Dilley is referring to, and that he would defer to the
City Attorney who has been involved with the negotiations with Mr. Sheehy. The City
Attorney explained that the title was reviewed and that the county records show that
Sheehy Construction was the owner of the property.
Mr. Dilley stated that he was concerned over the road realignment and who would be
responsible for relocating the utilities. Mr. Dilley stated that he was upset that
he and the other owners in the townhouse development had not been contacted
regarding the plans for the roadway realignment. The City Attorney commented that
apparently Mr. Dilley was under the belief that the Homeo -,hers Association owns the
property in question, but that since the development was not completed, the
developer would normally retain control over the property until the majority of the
property was developed.
In response to a question from Councilmember Lhotka, the Director of Public Works
explained that the item in question concerns realignment of Shingle Creek and 69th
Avenue in the area of their intersection. He explained that, in conversations with
the Assistant Ci ty Engineer, Mr. Dilley was told that the project does not now have a
specific schedule for construction but that acquisition of the necessary right of
way would necessarily come before any construction program could be established.
He added that at this time he sees no need to relocate utilities servicing the
existing townhouses, although he added, the roadway realignment may affect the
vacant lots in the development depending on how the builder wants to develop the
lots.
3 -14 -83 -1-
The Director of Planning & Inspection stated that Mr. Rod Bernu has filed a site plan
application for the area., and that the staff has told Mr. Bernu that the staff would
not process the application unless he allowed for the roadway realignment in the
site plan . As a result, he pointed out that Mr. Bernu and Mr. Sheehy spoke with the
Homeowners Association concerning the roadway realignment and the site plan.
The Assistant City Engineer commented that he remembers talking to Mr. Dilley's wife
and stating that specific plans for the roadway realignment are yet to be developed.
He added that he discussed the acquisition of right of way with Mr. Dilley's wife and
explained that this was an immediate action.
Councilmember Scott inquired whether the City held a public hearing on this item.
The City Manager explained that no formal notice was issued but a meeting was held
and people from the neighborhood did attend. He added that the City did reserve
right of way in the Earle Brown Farm Estates Townhouse Development for the roadway
realignment.
Councilmember Theis stated that he recalls that the roadway realignment was
discussed during onsideration r �'
g of the Earle Brown � arm Townhouses Development. He
added that the Council passed action giving the authority to staff to contact the
proper state agencies regarding the roadway realignment affect on the Palmer Lake
nature area. The Director of Public Works commented that he is sure the Council
record will also show that the staff was given authorization to proceed with
acquisition of right of way for the project.
Mr. Dilley stated that he did not appreciate the fact that he was not notified of the
project. Councilmember Theis requested the staff to set up a meetin g with Mr.
Dilley and review the plans for the roadway realignment. Mayor Nyquist explained
to Mr. Dilley that the staff will meet with him and other interested members of the
Homeowners Association to discuss the roadway plans. Mr. Dilley explained that he
would be at the Planning Commission meeting on Thursday evening anyway, and that the
staff could review the plans with him that evening.
Mayor Nyquist commented on the tragic drowning which took place in Shingle Creek on
Friday. He added that apparently the only positive aspect of the situation was that
r r r
the eme se pe very well. He added that he had received calls
from City residents inquiring whether anything could be done. He asked the City
Manager to review the situation concerning what has been done to minimize the risk of
any possible future incidents.
The City Manager reviewed the construction of Central Park with regard to minimizing
the risk of problems with the creek. He commented on a number of items with regard
to educating young children with regard to the hazards of venturing onto thin ice and
water safety in general.
CONSENT AGENDA
Mayor Nyquist inquired if any of the Council members requested any items removed
from the Consent Agenda. No Council members requested any items removed from the

PLAI`?NING COMMISSION ITEMS
PLATITiING C01 APPLICATION N0. 83003 SUBMITTED BY THE CITY OF BROOKLYN C , TER
TO hFZ0_NE T-7077370
The City Manager explained Planning Commission Application No. 83003 was tabled at
the Commission's January 27, 1983 meeting and referred to the Southeast
3 -14 -83 -4-
Neighborhood Advisory Group for review and comment. Ile added that the Planning
Commission recommended an amendment to the comprehensive plan through Planning
Commission Resolution No. 83 -1 and approval of the rezoning through Planning
Commission Resolution No. 83 -2 at its March. 3, 1983 meeting.
The Director of Planning & Inspection presented and reviewed for Council members
pages 3 through 5 of the minutes of the January 27, 1983 Planning Commission meeting
and pages 1 through 9 of the March 3, 1983 Planning Commission meeting minutes. He
also reviewed the Planning Commission information sheets prepared for the
application. The Director of Planning &, Inspection then reviewed for Council
members Planning Commission Resolutions lo. 83 -1 and 83-2.
The Director of Planning & Inspection proceeded to review the location of the
subject parcel and noted that the existing zoning on the parcel is R3. He explained
the application is requesting that approximately one /half of the land be rezoned to
R6. He next reviewed a transparency of the preliminary plat of the area and
reviewed the zoning lines on the plat.
The Director of Planning & Inspection explained that, at its January 27, 1983
meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed a letter from Mr. Brad Hoffman regarding
the rezoning request. He reviewed the letter for Council members and noted the
letter referred to a market study done under the City auspices which showed a need
for elderly housing in the City. He added that the City's Comprehensive Plan also
indicates a need for elderly housing.
With regard to the subject parcel, the Director of Planning& Inspection explained
that much of the land was owned by the Minnesota Department of Transportation, and
that the City Council had authorized condemnation proceedings to acquire the
property. Fie reviewed the Comprehensive Plan Amendment proposed in conjunction
with Planning Commission Application No. 83003,and also the proposed Council
resolutions including a Resolution Amending City Council Resolution No. 82 -55, and
a Resolution Regarding the Disposition of Planning Commission Application No.
83003.
PLA1J11 COMMISSION APPLICATION 110. 83005 SUBMITTED BY BROOnY CENTIF HOUSING AND
REDEVFLOPP AU FOR PRELIi7I11�RY PLAT APPROVA TO SUB➢NIDE INTO THREE LOPS
AND DEDICATE RIGHT- OF -I ^dAY FOR 1-0 ; H LTLii C DRIVE t ROI'n Ih� L0 AT THE SOUTHEAST
QUADRAI`T OFOF I -94 AND HIG HidAY 100.
The Director of Planning & inspection reviewed for Council members the proposed
preliminary plat and also the site plan prepared for Planning Commission
Application No. 83004. He explained that the project was comprised of three major
areas: Building B, a 65 unit three story plus rental building, Building A, a five
story 73 unit condominium, and 32 townhouses. He reviewed the parking plans for
each phase of the development. He noted that handicapped units will be available in
both Buildings A and B, and the townhouses. He added that Homeowners Associations'
would be created in both the townhouse development and the condominium building.
He explained the Associations' would be separate.
The Director of Planning, & Inspection presented and reviewed for Council members
pages 6 through 8 of the lurch 3, 1983 Planning Commission meeting minutes, and the
conditions of approval recommended by the Planning Commission for Application Nos.
83005 and 83004.
Councilmember Lhotka asked what the distinction was between a condominium
association and a townhouse association. The City Manager explained that a
3 -14 -83 -5-
condominium association uses an as built survey and there is only a single lot for
all the units, whereas, a townhouse development shows individual lots. The City
Attorney commented that there really is not a great deal of difference in the two
associations but that they are different ways of describing real estate.
The Director of Planning & Inspection explained the townhouse development will be
similar to the condominium arrangement, in that owners won't actually own the land,
but it will be controlled by the condominium association. He added that this is why
the lots and blocks are not being proposed in conjunction with the application.
In response to Councilmember Lhotka's request for further clarification, the
architect for the project stated that, for financing purposes, the condominium
documents were necessary for Building A, and that legally these documents are not
much different for townhouse developments and are required for financing under FHA
mortgages. He added that the developer chose to go with the same division for the
townhouses as for the condominiums. He added that the developer is going through
one division of HUD for Building A, and that it was beneficial to continue with the
same governmental body for the townhouses.
The Director of Planning & Inspection presented and reviewed for Council members
pages 8 and 9 of the March 3, 1983 Planning Commission minutes regarding the
recommended findings of the Planning Commission concerning the elderly development
to be financed by tax increment financing.
Councilmember Lhotka asked the staff to comment on how the findings will be
implemented. The City Manager explained that the City will go as far as possible
with regard to enforcing the conditions to the extent the FHA requirements will
allow. Councilmember Lhotka then asked how the elderly qualifying for the project
in Brooklyn Center will become informed in an understandable way. Administrative
Assistant Hoffman explained that the City will do a number of things, noting that one
which has already been accomplished is the collecting of names of people interested
in the project. He noted 280 names have been collected so far. In addition to the
list of names, he stated that the direct mailings will be sent to people applying for
senior citizen sewer rates.
The City Tanager stated that he believes most of the people the staff has talked to
regarding the project are quite knowledgeable with regard to the living arrangement
presented by this type o a project. Councilmember Lhotka asked when the project
will be marketed. Administrative Assistant Hoffman stated that it is still
proposed for the first part of May of this year.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Phil Cohen who stated that the developer has suggested
that when the project is ready to market, an open house could be held at Earle Brown
School for the people on the waiting list and in the general neighborhood to give
them an opportunity to review the plans.
Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearin on a Resolution
Amending City Council Resolution No. 82 -255 (Comprehensive Plan Relative to R3

project architect.

The Director of Public Works reviewed the planned traffic circulation in the project
area and the plan to develop Lilac Drive to a two -lane street. The plans included an
interruption of Lilac Drive at Fremont which would be composed of a physical barrier
which would restrict traffic to neighborhood traffic, thereby, reducing the through
traffic. He proceeded to review the traffic forecast for traffic related to the
project.
The Director of Public Works reviewed discussions of traffic considerations held
during neighborhood meetings in the project area. He noted that the staff
conclusion was that keeping the volume of traffic on 62nd will best served by making
Lilac Drive a two -way. He noted the comments of one of the residents in the area,
Mr. Curtis Ward, 6131 Emerson Avenue North, who expressed a concern regarding
traffic volumes and proposed traffic patterns on the Lilac Drive -62nd Avenue
segment, and that he believes traffic volumes on 62nd Avenue will increase because
of the plans for Lilac Drive to become a two -way street.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Jim Zemberg, 6114 Girard Avenue North, who expressed
appreciation to Mr. Phil Cohen and the City staff for the tremendous job they have
done with regard to the housing project. He added that he believes the project will
be an asset to the City.

3 -14 -83 -10-
then asked whether there was any possibility of using Vo -Tech students to do the
actual rehabilitation work. Administrative Assistant Hoffman commented that this
would be an interesting concept and that essentially the City is acting as the
general contractor in the rehabilitation work, and that this could be a good
approach and worth investigating as a means to accomplish the program. He added
that the purchase of the home would have to be approved by the City Council.
Councilmember Theis expressed a concern over who would provide the expertise in
doing the rehabilitation work if the Vo -Tech were not available. The City 'Manager
replied that it would not be feasible for staff to do this type of work, and that it
would be necessary to use some type of professional assistance to do the actual
remodeling design and rehabilitation. He added that he would like to make the
project work since it would solve some of the housing problems in the City and would
help to maintain a good housing stock. He added that numerous items must be
explored before the project can get underway.

$4,052 to a high of $7,994. He added that the proposals were reviewed by W.H.
Montgomery, the City's Consultant, and it was recommended the low bid of Hoffman

Theis. Also present were City Manager Gerald Splinter, Director of Public Works Sy
Knapp, Director of Finance Paul Holmlund, Director of Planning & Inspection Ron
Warren, City Attorney Richard Schieffer, Assistant City r, gineer Jim Grube, and
Administrative Assistants Brad Hoffman and Tom Bublitz.
OPEN FORUM
Mayor Nyquist stated he had received several requests to use the Open Forum session
this evening. The first request he recognized was from Mr. & Mrs. Dan Smith, 6264
Brooklyn Drive. Mr. Smith stated that he and his wife live along Shingle Creek and
were directly involved with the recent drowning in the creek. He explained he had
been given a circular distributed in his neighboc•hood which requested residents to
attend the Council meeting. He stated that he was here to corrunent on the solutions
to improve the safety of the creek and the possible affects on the property owners,
wild life, and fishin�g. He requested the Council to give consideration to the park,
and what it is used for, in any action taken, with regard to the safety of the creek.
He pointed out that if the creek is changed he requested the Council to give careful
consideration to all the alternatives.
Mrs. Smith stated that she woizid like to see signs cautioning people against deep
water, and would also like to see people trained and equipped for drowning
situations. She explained that the fire chief told her that the City had three
people trained as divers but that two were out of town and one could not be reached,
so as a result, Hennepin County had to be called. Mrs. Smith also added that she
noted several metal pipes or stakes in the creek near the library which we sticking
out of the water and could be a hazard to children in the creek.
The City Manager stated that he believes the debris from the creek has been removed
but he would follow up on the library location. He explained that the staff is doing
a review of the water safety in the area, and as a part of that review, the staff has
taken water depths at the pedestrian bridges located along Shingle Creek.
The Director of Public Works proceeded to review the soundings taken along, the
creek, and noted that at the bridge located at the north end of the park water was
3 1 /2 feet deep with 2 1 park t
2 to 3 feet of muck. At the center bridge the depth of the
water was 8.3 feet deep with a solid bottom. At the third bridge along Shingle Creek
in Central Park the water was 4 1 feet deep with another 4 1/2 feet of muck on the
bottom.
Mrs. Smith stated that she does not know where the 15 feet to 20 feet deep number came
from on the notice that wa,s distributed to people in her neighborhood but she stated
3 -28 -83 -1-
she was informed by the rescue people that the depth of the creek was 10 feet. She
added that she believed it was best to educate children with regard to the danger of
water, and also to provide signs along the creek warning of deep water and thin ice.
The City7olanager explained that the construction design of the c ?•eek was 7 feet. He
added that the bridges in the park are located at the sites of the best soil in the
park, and that the staff is intending to conduct other soundings along the length of
the creek. He added that because of the muck in the creek the deeper areas in the
creek should tend to fill in as the flow of the creek caves in the deep spots. He
pointed out that the construction improvements in the park were also designed to
slope the creek banks to prevent drop offs.
Mr. Smith added that he would like to make sure that any decision is well thought out
by the City.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. & Mrs. Pavlak, 2500 63rd Avenue North. Mrs. Pavlak
stated that she was the person who vr-jte - the letter to the Post regarding the
drowning incident. Mr. Pavlak stated that one person whom he talked to stated that
the City has wet suits but they were being repaired at the tilme and also that another
individual stated that the suits belonged to the volunteers. Mrs. Pavlak stated
that she believes there is a state statute that says Hennepin County is to be
involved in related accidents as soon as possible. She added that the statute
number is 387.03. She stated that it took 40 minutes for our people to call Hennepin
County. She explained that the park improvements attend to attract people to the
parks, and that after talking t) Hennepin County she believes they are doing the best
they can with their resources being spread so thin because of budget problems and cut
backs. She explained that e, - i_n i-iennepin County arrived they found the little girl
very quickly. She stated that she believes we need better rescue for water rescues
now that we are improving the parks. Mrs. Pavl�k noted that the cost of a wet suit
and equipment similar to the equipment used by Hennepin County would cost
course would be b etween
approximately $900, and that a .mix week diving certification
'250 and $300 per person. She suggested that perhaps this training should be added
and that rescue is needed for people who don't pay attention to signs and warnings.
The City Manager explained that the staff is still trying to confirm the times
l r situation but that one diver arrived before the main
invo �n the drowning si ua ,
,
Hennepin Count team; however ne pointed out that this is
contingency of the � p y , p
preliminary information and he has yet to confirm it. He added that the staff is
re po r t looking, at a number of items and within two to three weeks a written .. r t will be
submitted to the Council concerning the situation and any recommendations for the
T
future. He added that he plans to work witri trie Head of Forth Memorial I s eTnf, z gency
unit and he is awaiting his return from vacation.
Tlayor Nyquist recognized 'Mr. Tim Tigue, 5717 Brooklyn Boulevard. Mr. Tigue stated
that we all understand we need divers and equiprnerlt and asked how long do we have to
wait. The City Manager explained that there are other alternatives, such as a
special dre; to recover people, and also electronic locaters used in conjunction
with diving.
Councilmember Lhotka stated th d'; 1,ne City Manager has explained that a report will
be submitted from the staff in three weeks with erommendations to the Coiiric .l_, He
added that the- decision will not take s x rnonths or a year but that t1 re C Jilnci does
want all the information before a doc i ;;ion is made. He added that he would not make
a decision on only a part of the information.
3 -28 -83 -2-
Mayor Iiyquist recognized Mrs. Donna Zieska., 5455 Brooklyn Boulevard, who stated
that she would like to speak on the subject of changing from the Robbinsdale School
District to the Brooklyn Center School District. She pointed out that Brooklyn
Center is on the east end of District 281 and that the City is cut up into four
different school districts. She stated that she believes District 281 could afford
to give their portion of Brooklyn Center to a. Brooklyn Center district and that she
would like to help with this. She inquired if there was any way to change this
portion of District 281 to a Brooklyn Center School District.
Mayor Nyquist stated that it would not be impossible and added that the issue has
come up for discussion at the public/private partnership meetings held in
conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce and other local organizations.
Councilmember Lhotka stated that the issue has been discussed in past years but that
he believes it is a legislative issue. Mayor Nyquist commented that he believes the
school boards could do as Mrs. Zieska is requesting. He inquired if the City
Attorney could comment on this. The City Attorney explained that if the school
board's can agree on how to accomplish the change they could do it but there are
complicated issues such as assessin g debts which must be addressed before the
issue can be considered.
Mrs. Zieska stated that Brooklyn Center is on the very edge of District 281 and that
she believes the Brooklyn Center portion of the district is abused by being such a
small portion of the district and added that she believes it should be in its own
district. She requested the Council to recommend a course of action for
accomplishing this.
The City Manager stated that, as part of the City's Comprehensive Plan, the plan
referred to the transportation costs related to the boundaries of the various school
districts. He added that the Council's position has been that school districts
should pursue the issue but noted that the City Council has no legal authority over
the school districts, and that they are governed by the state legislature.
Councilmember Hawes stated that he believes the issues raised by the speaker are
being pursued by the Robbinsdale PAC group and other groups in District 281.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mrs. Karen Smith who inquired whether it would take three
weeks for signs to be erected along Shingle Creek. The City Manager stated that
signs could be installed but questioned how much good they would really do. He
added that signs generally create a false sense of security and added that one
problem is that smaller children cannot read. Mrs. Smith stated that she was
surprised at the depth of the creek and that her neighbors, who have lived in the
neighborhood longer than she, thought the creek was only 2 to 3 feet deep.
Councilmember Theis suggested that contact be made with the divers in the volunteer
fire department to make some arrangements for contacting them in emergencies. The
City Manager explained that they do have pagers now but that it was an unusual

there have been 8 drownings in Brooklyn Center in the past 20 years and that the
drowning in Shingle Creek was an unusual situation.

RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BID AIM APPROVING CONTRACT FOR CONTRACT 1983 -A (DISEASED SHADE
TREE EIOVAL PROJECT 110. 1983 -01 )
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member
Celia Scott, and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor
thereof: Dean Nyquist, Gene Lhotka, Celia Scott, Bill Hawes, and Rich Theis; and
the following voted against the same: none, whereupon said resolution was declared
duly passed and adopted.
The City Manager introduced a Resolution Amending the 1983 General Fund Budget to
provide for improvement of the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system
for the Civic Center.
The Director of Public Works reviewed the staff recommendations for improvements to
the heating ventilation and air conditioning system at the Civic Center and
explained that the recommendation was to replace the existing system with a heat
exchange system. He proceeded to review the estimated cost for the improvements.
He explained the recommendations cannot guarantee that all the problems will be
solved and that additional work may be required, such as additional windows, and
painting with a water proof paint . However, he pointed out, he does not think the
painting or additional windows will be necessary but the recommendation contained
in the resolution before the Council is to do what has to be done to install a good
heating system in the Civic Center. He added that the additional work of adding
windows and painting was relatively minimal when compared to the entire system.
Councilmember Lhotka requested clarification regarding what exactly was to be done
to the heating and ventilating system. The Director of Public Works explained that
the heat wheel installed in the building when it was originally built was state of
the art at the time the building was constructed. He explained that the heat wheel
is now obsolete and the recommendation is to install heat exchange coils which are as
efficient and less complicated to operate than the heat wheel. He explained the
improvements to the system will attempt to recover heat and at the same time remove
moisture from the heat when it is returned to the system.
Councilmember Ihotka inquired whether the pay back for the system would be two
years. The Director of Public Works explained that this was correct and that also
of the 3 Methods considered, [Tethod 3 was less expensive than 1 or 2. He added that
the pay back for Method 1 is three to four years, the pay back for Method 2 is five to
six years, and the pay back for P 3 is two years.
i
3 -28 -83 -7-
Discussion continued among Council members regarding the staff recommendations for
the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning improvements. The Director of
Public Works explained that, under the proposed system, the moisture would be
removed from the air in the pool area, and together with additional heated air, this
air would be returned to the system. He explained the humidity will be exhausted to
the outside but only after the heat has been extracted for use from the moist air.
Councilmember Lhotka inaui red whether this technique was being used in other pools
in the metropolitan area. The Director of Public Works explained that the
consultant has explained that the system is the current state of the art with regard
to heating. and ventilating but that he has not checked with other pools in the area
The City Planager explained that most pools that he was familiar with operated under
Method 1 as contained in the Director of Public Work's memo.
Councilmember Hawes pointed out an error in the resolution noting that the $17,751
in the resolution should actually be $15,751.

The Director of Planning ;Inspection presented and reviewed for Council members
pages 1 through 3 of the Mhrch 17, 1983 Planning Commission minutes and also the
Planning Commission information sheet prepared for Application No. 83009. He
explained the original special use pezZnit was issued on April 26, 1982. He
proceeded to review the location of the special use permit and explained that the
applicant has requested three amendments to the permit issued on April 26, 1982. He
proceeded to review the am. endments requested by the applicant and explained that the
Planning Commission recommended approval of Application No. 83009 subject to ten
conditions which he reviewed for Council members. The Director of Planning &.
Inspection explained a public hearing on the application is required and that proper
notices of hearing had been sent.
3 -28 -83 -1].-
Councilmember Hawes stated that he had serious misgivings about the use as a home
occupation, and that with the great increase in the number of cars requested by the
applicant it appears that the applicant could have several cars on the property at
one time. Mr. Drinkwine replied that he only has a. certain amount of time to work on
the cars and that he could only service one car per evening. He added that most of
his business involves the pickup of the car and delivery back to the owner. He added
that he does not think Councilmember Hawes' concern will be a problem.
Air. Jose Dingler, sales manager for the Tidy Car business, explained that it takes 3
to 4 hrs. to do one car.
Mr. Drinkwine and Councilmember Halves continued to discuss the proposed changes in
the special use permit and Councilmember Hawes' concern that 4 to 5 cars could be on
the premises at any one time. Air. Drinkwine explained that generally he can plan
appointments but that there is nothing he could do this evening to prove that
Councilmember Hawes' concern would not occur. However, he did add that he is
concerned and does want to maintain the integrity of the neighborhood.
Councilmember Hawes stated that he does not doubt Mr. Drin'kwi.ne's concern or
integrity but his concern was that a demand by customers may create problems in the
future. Councilmember Hawes commented that, in his estimation, allowing 25 to 30
cars per month changes the character of the business so that it no longer could be
designated as a home occupation.
Mayor Nya suggested that the words "in the garage" be deleted from item No. 3 in
the conditions of approval recommended by the Planning Commission. Councilmember
Hawes stated that it was his concern that three or more cars could be on the premises
at any one time. Mr. Drinkwine stated that he could understand Councilmember
Hawes' concern but that he believed it would be foolish for him to have that many cars
on the premises because he could not give the customers the proper service.
Councilmember Hawes stated that he did not want to defer Mr- Drinkwine Is business
but he expressed concerned for the neighborhood, and the potential for many cars
coming into Mr. Drinkwine's business on a daily basis.
The City Attorney commented that if the Council's concern is that no more than one
car be allowed on the premises this could be added to the condition by stating that
"no more than one customer car shall be allowed on the premises at any one time ".
Councilmember Ihotka stated that he has a concern with extending the number of cars
to 25 cars. He pointed out that he has no problem with the type of business Mr.
Drinkwine is pursuing but is concerned about the residents in the area, and that he
believes 25 cars per month a considerable number.
Councilmember Theis commented that he believes 10 cars per month exceeds the limits
of a home occupation with regard to nonresidential activity.
Air. Drinkwine stated that he has been observing the volume of his business growing
and that he is currently looking at a commercial site.
Mayor Nyqu.ist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on Planning
Commission Application No. P3009. lie inquired if there was anyone present who
wished to speak at the public hearing. 110 one appeared to speak and he entertained a
motion to close the public hearing.
3 -28 -83 -12-
There was a. motion by Councilmember Hawes and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka; to
close the public hearing on Planning Commission Application No. 83009.
Councilmember Hawes suggested that the fourth line of the 3rd condition recommended
by the Planning Commission be changed to state that "at no time will more than one
customer car be allowed on the premises ".
Councilmember Lhotka inquired whether one car permitted on the premises is too
restrictive or could there be two customer cars. Councilmember Theis asked Nr.
Drinkwine how many cars could be parked in his driveway. Mr. Drinkwine explained
that four cars could be parked in his driveway.
Councilmember Hawes suggested that an additional item, item No. 11 be added to the
Planning Commission conditions of approva , and which would state that "the owner
must be on the premises at all times during the operation ".
There was a motion by Councilmember Hawes and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
approve Application No. 83009 subject to the conditions recommended by the Planning
Commission with the stipulation that item No. 3 of the Planning Commission
conditions be amended to include the statement that "at no time will more than one
customer car be w the additional item No.1 be added
o c allowed on one premises", anal that an 1
to the conditions to state that the owner must be on the premises at all times during
the operation.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Theis to
amend Councilmember Hades I motion for approval of Application No. 83009 to limit the
number of cars per month to ten. In discussion of Councilmember Lhotka's motion,
Councilmember Theis stated, that he was concerned that putting a specific number on
the operation will make it difficult to administer.
I��r. Drinkwine stated that he would be less than honest if he did not tell the Council
that he can't live with the amendment and requested that the number of cars be
increased to 18. Councilmember Lhotka then inquired whether the applicant could
provide a reason for raising, the number to 18. Nr. Drinki)ri.ne replied that ten cars
would not be enough to support a commercial shop which he is looking at now.
Councilmember Lhotka stated that home occupations are secondary to the residential
use of the location and a person's normal job. He added that he does not think a home
occupation should be a lead -in to full time employment.
Mayor Nyquist inquired whether Councilmember Lhotka and the applicant would accept
15 cars as a number. Councilmember Lhotka agreed to accept 15 cars and
Councilmember Theis, as seconder of Councilmember Lhotka.'s motion, agreed to accept
15 as a number.

Brooklyn Center and explained that, according to the franchise agreement, one/half
of the City was supposed to be serviced by cable at this point. .However, he pointed
out the City is only 20;o' complete, although cable has been strung throughout most of
the City. He added that by midsummer most of the overhead work should be completed,
and by the end of November, service to all come unities in the Northwest Suburbs Cable
Communications Commission area is supposed to be activated. He explained the
company has not met their half year deadline and reviewed some of the problems,
including the inability of the company to obtain title to one of the HUB sites, due to
the death of the property owner before the transaction could be completed. He
pointed out that this problem i: not the fault of the cable company but that
problems related to coord ination of their wo schedules and their inability - to meet
their time schedules were the responsibility of the company. He added that the
company has stated that they can meet the 22 month goal and that the Northwest
Suburbs Cable Communications has taken this under consideration with regard to
their decision on issuing penalties to the cable operator. He explained that the
Commission will make a decision at its next meeting.
Counci7member Theis stated that he is now hooked up to the cable and that he is happy
with the programming but that there is a problem with the wiring running from the
pole to his house in that it runs across the middle of his yard. He pointed out that
he believed the cable installer demonstrated very poor public relations when he
discussed the situation with him. He added that he did get a good response from the
Storer people and that he is now awaiting their correction of the wiring problem.

Councilmember Hawes commented that the building- Coin g on in the airport is in the
Brooklyn Park area and that it was appi-oved several months ago. He explained that
landings at the airport are actually dr pping off but that no plans are currently
underway for the elimination- of the airport. He explained that the Tri City
Commission has not been active due to the illness of its chairman. lie explained the
Commission has received information from the Metropolitan Airport's Commission of a
general nature with regard to airports and aviation activities.
The City Manager noted that in Crystal's guide plan he believes the airport is
recommended to be phased out in the future. The Director of Planning & Inspection
explained that there was a joint resolution passed between the City of Crystal and
Brookly enter regarding the phase out of the Crystal airport.

P_N�,SEOUT OF ALAR%'I BOARD
The City Eaanager explained that the City Council, years ago, authorized a central
alarm system which was operated out of the police dispatch room. He added that
private services are now available for alarms, and that the City system is getting
old and a decision must be made whether to continue in the business or phase it out.
He added that if it is decided that service should be continued considerable
upgrading of the equipment would be necessary.
The Director of Planning & Inspection stated that two services are offered now by the
City, one is a fire alarm, and the other a security alarm. He explained that the
annual renewal of the alarm contracts comes up I`May 15, and that the staff is
recommending a phaseout over the next six months after the renewal.
The City Manager explained that the City would have to reinvest in a remodeled alamu
panel if the City were to stay in the alarm business. He explained that the City
Y p ,�
originally f involved in the business because nothing else was available to
Y g g
businesses but that since that time private business has made available many options
in the area of alarm services.
The Director of Planning &° Inspection stated that, if the Council concurs with the
staff recommendation, the staff will send out letters regarding the phaseout over
the six month riod. He pointed out that the phaseout could extended certain
Pe p seo c 1d be e.�t d d if ce
p
businesses have problems with the phaseout time line.
Councilmember Lhotka requested the staff to comment on the revenue and cost of the
system. The Director of Planning & Inspection stated that the revenue from the
system essentially covers the service cost of the system.

Chapter 462A, Title II of the National Housing Act of 1934, the National
Housing Act of 1959, the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended, Title

the development on this site within the reasonably foreseeable future of
housing for low and moderate income persons and families.
3. That the proposed use of the land for multi - family conforms
to the general plan for the use of the land and therefore the tax increment

considered good, and the project was completed in a timely fashion. Project
management was considered good.
Mr. Bertelson recommends the City accent the proposal of Orfei &Sons, Inc.
City of St. Paul (Joe Koenig - Engineer)
Mr. Koenig has worked on projects with the contractor for 14 years. Most
recently, in 1982, the contractor completed a utility /street project for
the city. The quality of workmanship was considered acceptable for the
degree of difficulty of the work. The contractor does have good public
relations with the general public.
St. Paul would accept proposals submitted by the contractor for any future
work, and Mr. Koenig advises we do likewise.

RE: Quit Claim Deed To Clear Title (Lot 1, Block 5 Evergreen Estates)
Attached herewith is a copy of a Quit Claim Deed releasing the City's ownership
interest in the "common area" of the Evergreen Estates townhouse development
(Hussman Investment development adjacent to the 69th - 70th Avenue connection).
Hussman Investment requests the City Council authorize execution of the document
to clear any question of ownership in the subject property due to discrepancies
in various documents filed at the County.
The City Attorney advises that in cases where such action is necessary to clear
title to a parcel, a motion by the City Council authorizing deed execution is
sufficient. upon review of the documents in question, the staff considers the
developer's request to be valid; therefore, it is recommended such motion be
made by the Council. In taking such action, the City will not vacate its ease-
ment interest over the parcel.

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
MARCH 31, 1983
CITY HALL
CALL TO ORDER
The Planning Commission met in study session and was called to
order by Chairman George Lucht at 7:38 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Chairman George Lucht, Commissioners Nancy Manson, Lowell Ainas,
Carl Sandstrom and Donald Versteeg. Also present were Director of
Planning and Inspection Ronald warren and Planning Assistant Gary
Shallcross. Chairman Lucht stated that Commissioner Malecki had
called to say she would be unable to attend the evening's meeting
and also noted Commissioner Simmons had stated at the last meeting
that she would be unable to attend.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - March 17, 1983
Motion by Commi.sH - o er Sandstrom seconded by Commissioner Manson to
approve the minutes of the March 17, 1983 Planning Commission meet-
ing as submitted. Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners
Manson, Ainas, Sandstrom and Versteeg. Voting against: none. The
motion passed.
APPLICATION NO. 83011 (Robert Adelmann)
Following the Chairman's explanation, the Secretary introduced the
first item of business, a request for site and building plan and
special use permit approval to construct an 8' x 25' addition to
the south end of the east cling of the service station at 6501
Humboldt Avenue North. The Secretary reviewed the contents of
the staff report (see Planning Commission Information Sheet for
Application No. 83011 attached). The Secretary explained that
the Building Official had contacted the State Building Codes Division
regarding making the restrooms accessible to the handicapped. He ex-
plained that unless the restrooms themselves are being remodeled, it
is not necessary, under the State Building Code, for the restrooms
to be made accessible to the handicapped. He added, however, that
the Building Official does recommend that the restrooms be modified
to make the restrooms as accessible to the handicapped as possible.
The Secretary also noted that the sign above the roofline had been
removed and was no longer an issue with this application.
Chairman Lucht asked the applicant whether he would be willing to
widen the doors to the restrooms to make them accessible to the
handicapped. Mr. Adelmann responded that he had not considered
doors especially for the handicapped. However, he added, he did
plan on getting new doors for the restrooms anyway and thought it
would be possible to comply with the recommendation of the Building
Official. He asked how great a revision would be involved. The
Secretary answered that the doors are presently 2' 4° wide and that
the Building Official has recommended a 2' 8 " door, swinging out.
Commissioner Ainas also explained the Building Code requirements for
the restroom stalls themselves. The Planning Assistant stated that
the stall in the women's room is large enough to meet handicapped
3 -31 -83 -1-
accessibility requirements and stated that the expansion of the
men's stall should not require elimination of the urinal. There
followed a brief discussion as to how the matter of handicapped
accessibility would be handled. Mr. Adelmann stated that he would
be willing to look at what was involved in making the restrooms
accessible. The Secretary stated that the plans could be modified
without necessarily adding a condition to the approval.
PUBLIC HEARING
Chairman Lucht then opened the meeting for a public hearing and
asked whether anyone present wished to speak on the application.
There was no one present to speak on Application No. 83011. Chair -
man Lucht called for a motion to close the public hearing.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Motion by Commissioner Manson seconded by Commissioner Ainas to
close the public hearing. The motion passed unanimously.
The Secretary left at 7:50 p.m. and returned at 7:52 p.m.
ACTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO. 83011
(Robert Adelmann)
Motion by Commissioner Manson seconded by Commissioner Sandstrom
to recommend approval of Application No. 83011, subject to the
following conditions:
1. The permit is issued to the applicant as operator
of the facility and is nontransferable.
2. The permit is subject to all codes, ordinances
and regulations and any violation thereof shall
be grounds for revocation.
3. The plans are subject to review and approval by
the Building Official with respect to applicable
codes prior to the issuance of P ermits.
4. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery which
is subject to Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances.
Voting in favor: g v r: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Manson, Ainas,
Sandstrom and Versteeg. Voting against: none. The motion passed.
APPLICATION NO. 83012 (Saner Knutson)
The Secretary then introduced the next item of business, a request
for a special use permit to conduct a small engine repair home
occupation in the garage of the residence at 1112 Emerson Lane north.
He reviewed the contents of the staff report (see Planning Commission
Information Sheet for Application No. 83012 attached).
In response to a question from Commissioner Sandstrom regarding
hours of operation on Sunday, the Secretary stated that staff
recommend no hours be permitted on Sunday. Commissioner Manson
asked whether the hours requested were similar to other similar
home occupations. The Secretary responded in the affirmative.
Chairman Lucht called on the applicant to speak. Mr. Sanver Knutson
explained that, to the north of the garage he would be working in,
was another garage belonging to the neighbors to the north. He
stated that noise from the garage should not be a problem. He
stated that he had no problem with limiting hours to 8:00 p.m. week-
3-31-83 -2A
• days and Saturday. He asked whether Sunday hours could be allowed.
Chairman Lucht stated that he recommended against such hours.
Mr. Knutson asked whether this meant there would be no operation of
engines allowed, but that he could work on engines as long as he
was not starting them up. Chairman Lucht stated that if Mr. Knutson
was working in his garage by himself with the door closed, no one
might be aware that he was working on his home occupation, but that
such operation on Sunday would not be acknowledged under approval
of the home occupation.
The Secretary briefly reviewed some of the philosophy behind home
occupations and explained that other home occupations have been
restricted much more than Mr. Knutson's. He cited the example of
the Tidy Car business which was limited to a certain number of cars
that could be worked on in a given month. Mr. Knutson stated that
he would not fire up any engines when other people were outside en-
joying their yard. The Planning Assistant stated that it would be
impossible for the City to enforce a condition which limited hours
of operation based on what other people were doing in their yards.
He stated that forbidding work on Sundays was a simpler way of
ensuring some rights for the neighbors and would be easier to live
with, both from an enforcement standpoint and from the applicant's
standpoint.
PUBLIC HEARING
Chairman Lucht then opened the meeting for a public hearing and
asked whether anyone present wished to speak on the application.
Mr. Manson, 1106 Emerson Lane North, stated that he did not feel
there would be any problem with the home occupation. He also
pointed out that in two directions from the Knutson home, there
was no conflict, noting that the church does not have functions
during working hours.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Seeing no one else who wished to speak on the application, Chairman
Lucht called for a motion to close the public hearing. Motion by
Commissioner Manson seconded by Commissioner Versteeg to close the
public hearing. The motion passed.
ACTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO. 83012
(Sanver Knutson)
Motion by Commissioner Versteeg seconded by Commissioner Manson to
recommend approval of Application No. 83012, subject to the follow-
ing conditions:
1. The permit is issued to the applicant as operator
of the facility and is nontransferable.
2. The permit is subject to all applicable codes,
ordinances and regulations and any violation
thereof shall be grounds for revocation.
3. The hours of operation shall be from 9:OO a.m.
to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10:00 a.m.
to 8:00 p.m. Saturday.
4. All parking associated with the home occupation
shall be off - street on improved space on the property.
3 -31 -83 -3-
5. P_ 5 lb. fire extinguisher shall be installed in
the area of the home occupation prior to the
issuance of the permit.
6. Permit approval is exclusive of all signery
which is subject to Chapter 34 of the City
Ordinances.
Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Manson, Ainas,
Sandstrom and Versteeg. Voting against: none. The motion passed
unanimously.
DISCUSSION ITEM (Manufactur Housing)
The Secretary then reviewed with the Planning Commission, ordinance
language to allow manufactured housing on the same basis as stick -
built conventional housing in Rl and R2 zoning districts. He ex-
plained that the Zoning Ordinance presently prohibits trailers as
dwellings within the City. He explained that the City has allowed
pre -cut homes to be assembled on sites in Brooklyn Center. Ile re-
viewed ordinance language to allow earth - sheltered and manufactured
housing to be considered dwellings and to strike the prohibition
against trailers. He noted, however, that certain recreational
vehicles, campers, buses, etc. would not be considered as dwellings.
The Secretary then discussed proposed ordinance language requiring
permanent continuous foundations around the circumference of the
dwelling, but noted the provision to allow porches, canopies, decks,
balconies, stairs, etc. to be placed on a. noncontinuous permanent
foundation as approved by the Building Official. He also noted
that certification of manufactured housing by the Department of
Housing and Urban Development was necessary before such housing
could be built in Brooklyn Center. Finally, he reviewed the pro -
L
posed language requiring a width and depth of the main portion of
the dwelling o be no less than 18 feet.
He explained that this
g
would require a house to have a minimum ground coverage of 320 square
feet and would also require double wide mobile homes. He stated that
staff would check the Assessor's records to see if there were any
homes in Brooklyn Center less than 320 square feet in area. The
Secretary also pointed out that the proposed regulations would not
affect buildings in the R3 zoning district on up, only the Rl and
R2 districts.
Chairman Lucht asked whether staff had reviewed the ordinance
language with the City Attorney. The Secretary responded in the
negative, but added that that should probably be done. He stated
that staff would check the Assessor's records to check for other
nonconforming uses that might be created by the proposed regulations.
He stated, however, that a house less than 320 square feet should
probably be nonconforming, considering the general standard in the
community.
Commissioner Versteeg asked whether structures built before adoption
of this language would begrandfathered and allowed to continue. The
Secretary answered that structures not meeting the zoning regulations
would be nonconforming and would be allowed to continue, but could
not expand or be moved to a different location. He stated that a
house without a foundation would have to have a foundation in order
to expand. Commissioner Sandstrom asked if this would be the case
even to add a deck. The Secretary responded in the affirmative.
3 -31 -83 -4-
Commissioner Ainas then quoted a section from the Building Code
regarding manufactured housing wherein it states the application
for a building permit to erect a manufactured house must be ac-
companied by a plan approval from the State. - He asked what this
would be referring to. The Secretary stated that it probably-re-
ferred to the HUD certification. He stated that either the City of
the State could stop construction of manufactured housing. He also
pointed out that the City would still require plumbing, heating and
electrical permits and inspections, as with conventional housing.
The Secretary noted that the State has different standards for man-
ufactured housing than for conventional housing under the Building
Code. He stated that he did not necessarily agree with this
approach and stated that he felt the same standard should be
applied to any type of housing within a given zoning district.
The Secretary also stated that he would like to have recommended,
a minimum roof pitch to prevent a boxy appearance, but noted that
double -wide mobile homes will usually have some roof pitch and that
there are also some flat roofs already in town. The existing flat
roofs, he said, have not been a big problem.
Commissioner Versteeg asked how the Building Inspector would in-
spect a pre -built home. The Secretary stated that the Building
Official would check the footings to see that they met frost
depth before concrete is poured and that he would check for the
HUD seal of approval. He also noted that there would be utility
permits for connections to water and sewer and that these connections
would be inspected. He acknowledged that there would be no real
framing inspection as with conventional housing.
Following a further brief discussion of some of the advantages
and disadvantages of manufactured housing, it was agreed that the
a held over until April
the A
proposed ordinance language would be P
study meeting for review by the full Commission and action at
that time.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion by Commissioner Sandstrom seconded by Commissioner Versteeg
to adjourn the meeting of the Planning Commission. The motion
passed unanimously. The Planning Commission adjourned at 8:47 p.m.
Chairman
3 -31 -83 -5-
planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 83011
Applicant: Robert Adelmann
Location: 6501 Humboldt Avenue North
Request: Site and Building Plan, Special Use
The applicant seeks site and building plan and special use permit approval to construct
an addition to the service station at the northwest corner of 65th and Humboldt Avenues
North. The property is bounded by 65th Avenue North on the south, by Humboldt Avenue
North on the east and by the North Lyn Apartments (zoned R5) on the north and west.
The land in question is zoned C2 and service stations are special uses in the C2 zone.
The proposed addition is to the south end of the east wing of the building. The ex-
pansion will enclose the entrance area to the restrooms and will include a remodeling
of the counter area, moving it to the southeast corner of the building. The addition
will move the south wall of the east wing 8' 22" southward. The east wall of this
addition and approximately 12' of the south wall will be covered with windows in
anodized aluminum thermo -break frames. The remaining i3' of the south wall will be
brick, the same type as is presently in use on the exterior walls of the building.
The southeast corner of the building is to be bounded by a planter containing 9
Maney Junipers in a bed covered with rock mulch.
The addition is to be equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system in accord-
ance with Chapter 5 of the City ordinances. The applicant's architect has explained
that the existing restrooms are not accessible to the handicapped and he does not
propose to make them so accessible with this remodeling. It is the opinion of the
Building Official, however, that the proposed addition and remodeling are extensive
enough that modification of the restrooms to assure handicapped accessibility is
required.
We should also point out that the plans indicate signery on the south face of a
brick chimney type structure extending above the roof -line. Such roof signs are
presently in place and are not permitted, unless replacing a freestanding identi-
fication sign, which these are not. The Building Official has ordered the signs
down and we recommended that approval of this application be contingent on compliance
with that order.
In summary, the plans must be modified slightly, but are generally in order. Approval
of the application is recommended, subject to at least the following conditions:
1. The permit is issued to the applicant as operator of the facility
and is nontransferable.
2. The permit is subject to all codes, ordinances and regulations

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 83012
Applicant: Sanver Knutson
Location: 1112 Emerson Lane North
Request: Special Use Permit
The applicant seeks special use permit approval to conduct a small engine repair home
occupation in the garage of the residence at 1112 Emerson Lane North. The residence
is located at the northeast corner of Emerson Lane (formerly 692 Avenue North) and
Emerson Avenue North. It is bounded by single - family homes on the north and east,
by Emerson Lane on the south and by Emerson Avenue North on the west. The Lutheran
Church of the Master is located across Emerson Avenue North to the west and a 7 -unit
apartment building is located across Emerson Lane to the south. The lot in question
is zoned R1 and small engine repair is a special home occupation under the City's
Zoning Ordinance.
The applicant has submitted a letter (attached) in which he describes the proposed
home occupation. He states that the layout of the garage on the lot and a 6' high
basket -weave fence will help reduce noise impact. He proposes hours of operation
to be limited as follows:
Weekdays: 9 :00 a.m. to sunset
Saturday: 10:00 a.m, to sunset
Sunday: 12:00 noon to 6:00 p.m.
He stresses that the home occupation is a part —time operation. The engines worked
on would include lawn mowers, garden equipment and snow - throwers. No outboard
motors, motorcycles, or other recreational vehicles would be worked on. Mr. Knutson
states that many of the pickups and deliveries will be done by himself and that
traffic concerning the home occupation would be relatively few. Mr. Knutson also
explains that he intends no retail sales; that special equipment would consist of
a sharpening unit for lawn mower blades; that no more than half the garage would
be used for the business; and that he would be the only person employed in the
home occupation. (It should be noted that Sanver Knutson is not the owner of the
premises, but the son of Vernon Knutson, the owner).
Our records indicate that 10 repair- related home occupation special use permits
have been sought in the past 15 years. All have been granted. Of primary concern
with this application is the fact that the applicant's garage is actually located
closer to the neighbor's residence at 6920 Emerson Avenue North than to his own
residence. We feel the hours of operation are at a maximum, allowing flexibility
to the applicant, but perhaps causing an annoyance to the neighbor. We would
recommend some diminution of the hours, limiting evening work (or at least
running of engines) to no later than 8:00 p.m. The Commission has also sometimes
recommended against hours of operation on Sunday, not as a way of imposing a
religious observance, but to give the neighborhood an assured, regular break in
home occupation activity (and Sunday has seemed to be the best day for this).
The Building Official has not yet inspected the premises. Usually, in home
occupations of this type, a 5 lb. fire extinguisher is required in the work area.
The proposed special use permit is consistent with others granted in the past and
approval is recommended subject to the following conditions:
3 -31 -83 -1-
Application No. 83012 continued
1. The permit is issued to the applicant as operator of the facility
and is nontransferable.
2. The permit is subject to all applicable codes, ordinances and
regulations and any violation thereof shall be grounds for
revocation.
3. The hours of operation shall be from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Monday through Friday, and 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Saturday.
4. All parking associated with the home occupation shall be off-
street on improved space on the property.
5. A 5 lb. fire extinguisher shall be installed in the area of the
home occupation prior to the issuance of the permit.
6. Permit approval is exclusive of all signery which is subject to
Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances.
