constraints._ The City Manager reviewed the use of the current soccer fields and
noted that soccer fields can be used for football use but the football fields cannot
be used for soccer because of the required size of the soccer field. He explained
the existing soccer field in the City is very heavily used and that additionally,
soccer fields require good soil so that level fields may be built with clear site
lines for players to see the ball. He pointed out that soccer fields cannot be
constructed with high areas or crowns. Councilmember Lhotka then inquired what

that this resolution comprehends the upgrading of the City's radio communications
system including the police and fire dispatch center. The City Manager pointed

mobile radios can also be replaced within the budget limits set for the upgrading
of the system. He added that the City now has an additional frequency which is
shared with the City of St. Paul. He added his thanks to Chief McCutcheon, of the
St. Paul Police Department, for his efforts in assisti g the City in obtaining the
additional frequency. He explained that with the addition of the new frequency the
signal from the "handi- talkie" used by a police officer is transmitted to the repeater
station where the signal is rebroadcast at a stronger end different frequency. 'He
explained the repeater system allows a signal to come in on one frequency and go out
on another frequency, thereby, eliminating the overridE problem with radio signals

radios.

Brooklyn Center Crime Prevention Fund. Mr. Cohen stated the Crime Prevention Program
• in Brooklyn Center is an example of how civic groups and the City can work together
7 -12 -82 -3-
in a positive fashion to develop an important program for City residents. He explained
the Crime Prevention Fund is nothing new and that the cities of Edina and St. Louis
Park have had the program for a number of years. He pointed out that the Chamber and
Rotary introduced the idea in Brooklyn Center and that this was the starting point for •
the development of the program. He explained that the Crime Prevention Fund is a
citizen's sponsored fund and its direct purpose is to obtain information on unsolved
crimes. He explained that over $2,000 has been contributed to the fund so far, and
that•the money will be used as a source of funds which will assist the Police Department
in solving.crimes and to further reduce crime in Brooklyn Center. Mr. Cohen stated that
$25,000 is ultimate goal and that the funds will supply rewards or buy information
to assist the Police Department in solving crimes and assist in crime prevention. He
added -that the group also hopes to work with..the Neighborhood Crime Watch Program.. He
added that the Crime Prevention Fund is a service which does not use tax dollars to
accomplish its goal. Mr. Cohen thanked the City Council for allowing him to make the
.presentation this evening.
Councilmember Lhotka stated that he thinks the concept is a fantastic idea and the
Council owes a debt of gratitude to those who have worked on it. He stated he believes
the Council will support the Crime Prevention Fund in any way possible.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
REPORT ON OPEN FORUM RE2UEST
The City Manager explained the staff has been assembling ordinance language with regard
to Mr. Jesse Sandoval's request made at the June 28, 1982 City Council meeting concerning
Section 1 -106 of the City Ordinances regarding limiting the number of dogs per household.
He stated the staff i.s re arin ordinance language which would
allow an individual
p P g
to obtain a private kennel license. He stated the process would require an individual
to apply for the license with the City and that the neighbors in the area would be
notified of the application. He added that the license could be issued administrative
with a provision for an appeal to the Council or the license could come directly before
the Council similar to a special use permit. He stated that the staff will be preparing
the ordinance language for City Council review.
Councilmember Lhotka commented he would like to see the ordinance language drafted
similar to the home occupation section of the zoning ordinance which would require
Council review and he also suggested that the number of animals not be stated "in the
. ord ii : ,ance .
Councilmember Hawes inquired whether the ordinance language could, give the option of
the applicant or the City notifying the neighbors of the application. The City Manager
commented that there are two lines of thought in this area, that being, that if the
applicant notifies the neighbors of the application, it may cause a neighborhood
problem and that he would hope to avoid any neighborhood dispute with the ordinance
amendment. Councilmember Hawes noted that there may be some situations where the
applicant may want to notify the neighbors by himself. The City Manager indicated
that in other cities where the private kennel license is allowed the applicant may
visit the neighbors before any notice is issued by the City.
Couneilmember Lhotka stated he believes the procedure should be handled like a public !
hearing with input from the neighbors.
RECESS
the Brooklyn Center City Council recessed at 7:50 p.m. and reconvened at 8:10 p.m.
7 -12 -82 -4-
PUBLIC HEARING ON ALLEY IMPRO`dEMENT PROJECT NO. 1982 -14 (.BETWEEN DUPONT AND EMERSON
AVENUES FROM 53RD TO 54TH AVENUES)
The City Manager explained that the alley improvement project was petitioned by the
residents in the area and that this evening's public hearing has been scheduled to
decide whether or not the project should be approved.
The Director of Public Works explained the project was initiated by a petition of
the property owners which was signed by 11 of the 18 affected property owners. He
stated the petition represents 61% of the property owners in the area and represents
53% of the frontage on the alley. He proceeded to review the recommended construction
specifications for the alley project. He also reviewed the financial considerations
and assessment procedures related to the proposed - .project. He noted that the estimated-
total cost of the project would be $20,240 and that the estimated assessment for the
project would be $16.77 or $17 per linear foot.
The Director of Public Works stated he had received correspondence from Mr. John S.
Tschohl, 4659 Oaks Circle in Bloomington, regarding the project. He pointed out Mr.
Tschohl is the owner of the property at 5352 Emerson Avenue North and that he has
expressed opposition to the project.
Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on Alley Improvement
Project No. 1982 -14. Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Melvin Westlund, 5358 Emerson Avenue
North. Mr. Westlund expressed a concern over the number of drains that would be
installed in the alley. The Director of Public Works stated he believed the number
will be four but that he would like to review the project further to see if it would
be possible to complete the project with three drains because of the added cost. The
City Manager pointed out that detail design work has not been completed on the project
yet, and that this will be necessary to determine the need for three or four drains.
Mr. Westlund also expressed a concern that the travel of garbage trucks on the alley
be taken into consideration when the alley is designed.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Tom Doane, 5359 Dupont Avenue North, who stated that he
believes the grader operator is not grading the alley properly at this time. The City
Manager explained he believes that even with an experienced grader operator the drainage
problefa could not be solved on the alley due to the extreme flatness of the alley where
water becomes trapped.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Earl Rydholm, 5307 Dupont Avenue North who expressed a
concern over the location of the sewer line. The Director of Public Works reviewed
the proposed catch basin location and explained that in order to minimize the length
of pipe it was originally proposed that an easement be acquired to run the pipe to
Dupont Avenue. He added the property owners are reluctant to have the pipe come
through their property and noted that the houses are rather close together in this
area with many trees and flowers that would have to be removed to allow for the line.
He added that it appears the project will have to go to 54th Avenue and connect with
the storm sewer there
Mayor Nyquist inquired if there was anyone else who wished to speak at the public
Bearing. There being none, he entertained a motion to close the hearing.
There was a motion by Councilmember Hawes and seconded by Councilmember Scott to close.

There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
approve Planning Commission Application No. 82028 in consideration of a finding that

RE: Lion's Park Tennis Court Improvement Project No. 1982 -20
Pursuant to recent City Council directives regarding completion of
subgrade correction within the Lion's Park tennis court site, the
staff has developed plans and specifications for necessary soil
corrective measures to be completed in 1982, thereby reducing chances
of settlement during surface construction in 1983.
It is recommended the project be included in a construction contract
together with trail construction in Lion's Park, Central Park and
Garden City Park, and the Civic Center improvements proposed under
Projects Nos. 1982 -21 and 1982 -22 in order to provide cost reductions
resulting from "quantity purchasing ". Based upon the above recom-
mendation, the costs related to the subgrade correction and grav'el
base installtion are estimated as follows:
Construction Cost $18,000.00
Contingencies 1,800.00
Subtotal Construction Cost $19,800.00
Engineering (9% of Construction Cost) ' 1,780.00
Administration (1% of Construction Cost) 200.00
TOTAL $21,780.00
Funding for the tennis court construction will be from the 1982
Neighborhood Parks Budget (Division No. 88) of the Capital Projects
Fund. The proposed improvement, as described above, is feasible
at the costs estimated, and it is recommended the - proposal be
forwarded to _the City_ Council for further action.

RE: Fuel Dispensing System Improvement Project No. 1982 -23
The 1982 Budget of the Vehicle Maintenance Division (Division No.
43) provides $14,000.00 for the installation o(f a motor fuel dispens-
ing system in conjunction with the completion of plans for the
ultimate development of the City Garage site at 6844 Shingle Creek
Parkway. Recent discussions with Lindberg Pierce, Inc. Architects,
have resulted in formulation of preliminary site and building usage
concepts, therefore, the staff proposes to proceed with the purchase
and installation of the equipment.
In conjunction with the system installation, the staff will work with
LOGIS on the recently activated Equipment Control Module, an equip=
ment inventory system provided for the Public Works Users Group of
LOGIS. The ultimate goal of the system is the ability to provide
direct data input from the fuel dispencing system to the main computers
of LOGIS under an "enhancement" to the Equipment Control Module,
thereby eliminating the "hand transfer" of data between the Street
and Finance Divisions.
The major features of the proposed system will be;
24 hour unattended accessibility
- security system activated by personal land vehical "key
cards"
ability to record simultaneous pump utilization
automatic fuel rationing for particular vehicles
automatic pump shut-off
electrical and battery operated memory system for times
..of power failure.
In summary, -it is recommended the proposal for purchase and instal-
lation of the fuel dispensing system by forwarded to the - City Council
for authorization to proceed.

order by Chairman George Lucht at 7:30 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Chairman George Lucht, Commissioners Molly Malecki, Mary Simmons,
Nancy Manson, Lowell Ainas, Carl Sandstrom and Donald Versteeg. Also
present were Director of Planning and Inspection Ronald Warren,
Assistant City Engineer James Grube, and Planning Assistant
Gary Shallcross.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - July 1, 1982
Motion by Commissioner Sandstrom seconded by Commissioner Ainas to
approve the minutes of the July 1, 1982 Planning Commission meeting
as submitted. Voting in favor: Commissioners Manson, Malecki,
Simmons, Ainas, Sandstrom and Versteeg. Voting against: none.
Not toting: Chairman Lucht. The motion passed.
APPLICATION NO. 82029 (Northwestern National Bank)
Following the Chairman's explanation, the Secretary introduced the
first item of business, a request for site and building plan approval
to install an automatic teller machine in the parking lot in front
of Hirschfield's at Westbrook Mall at 5717 Xerxes Avenue North. The
Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report (see Planning
Commission information Sheet for Application No. 82029 attached). x
The Secretary explained that the automatic teller machine would be
installed on a temporary basis to test the market in the Brooklyn
Center area for a branch of the Northwestern National Bank.
Chairman Lucht asked whether the applicant had anything to add to
the staff presentation. Mr. Wally "Klux . of Northwestern National
Bank, stated that he had nothing further to add to the Secretary's
report. Commissioner Manson asked Mr. Klus why it would be
necessary to take the machine out, even if the market in the
Brooklyn Center area is adequate to support a new branch facility..
Mr. Klus' answered that Northwest Banco was committing itself to
this location for five years and that after that time a decision'
would be made.as to whether,to keep the machine at its proposed
'location or to remove He stated that the technology of banking
was changing so rapidly that he could not be sure what the
will decide to do in five years . Commissioner Manson stated that
she had seen three cars stacking at a.money machine in another
location. Mr. Klus stated that he could not guarantee there
would never be cars stacking behind the money machine; but added
that he expected the peak times for the automatic teller machine
to be when the surrounding stores are not busy. He stated that
the bank would be most interested in rectifying any problem that
might arise since troubles in providing service will have a negative
impact on the bank's business.
Commissioner Simmons expressed concern about vandalism and mechanical
difficulties with the machine. Mr. Klus stated that he was not
7 -15 -82 -1-
aware of any mechanical problems with the machine. He stated that
the bank is working to make the automatic teller machines as error-
free as possible. He noted that the bank will be installing 3,500
automatic teller machines throughout 10 states and that it is im-
portant the machines work properly.

APPLICATION NO. 82023 (Bergstrom Realty Company)
The Secretary introduced the next item of business, a request for
amended site and building plan approval for Phase I of the Hi Crest
Square Estates in the 1300 block on the south side of 69th Avenue
.Nor'-h. The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report (see
Planning Commission Information for Application No. 82023 attached).
The Secretary stated that he wished to strike the last sentence of
the second paragraph of the report in that he felt the newly submitted
plans are substantially different from those submitted to the Planning
Commission on June 17, 1982. The Secretary also reminded the Planning
Commission of the memo prepared by the Assistant City Engineer re-
garding three ponds in Brooklyn Park and observations on the proposed
pond at the Hi Crest Square Estates. Ile also noted that the Commis-
sion had received the City Ordinance requirement for fencing around
swimming pools. He asked the Planning Commission to come to a
determination of whether the proposed pond should be considered a
swimming pool and, therefore, fenced. The Secretary also briefly
mentioned that screening of the project from the single family homes
to the east had been provided by landscaping, which was accepted by
the Planning Commission at its .7une 17, 1982 meeting. He added that
8' high opaque screening from Iitunboldt Square had become the burden
of the R3 property as a result of rezoning the land from C2 to R3.
The Secretary also mentioned the previous approval of the variance
from the buffering requirement of the R3 development from the City's
7 -15 -82 -2-
s
pump house property on 69th Avenue North. He stated that no action
need be taken again on that application.
Chairman Lucht asked the applicant whether he-had anything to add.
Mr. James Merila, representing Bergstrom Realty, stated that he
felt everything had been covered.
The Commission was then approached by Mr. John DeVries of DeVries
Builders, who asked the Planning Commission -to table the application
for one meeting until he could resolve with Mr. Merila the dispute
between them regarding the use of plans which had been prepared for
the Earle Brown Farm Estates, a project which he is building.
Mr. 'DeVries stated that he felt the Planning Commission had been
asked to make a legal judgment regarding the status of the proposed
plans by seeking site and building plan approval. Mr. DeVries
stated that he did not feel the plans submitted at the June 17, 1982
Planning Commission meeting were "prototypes" as the staff report
indicates. He stated that he could recall no mention of the word
"prototype" in the Planning Commission minutes of that meeting. He t
stated that when these plans were not used in seeking City Council F
approval, the entire planning process should have been restarted. E
Mr. DeVries stated that he had no idea that Mr. Merila was using
any of the plans that had been prepared for the Earle Brown Farm
Estates. He stated that he had not had time to review the new
plans which were submitted on Tuesday of this week to the City.
Mr. DeVries pointed out that he and Mr. Al Beisner wished to meet
with the applicant, Mr. Bergstrom, along with Mr. Merila before the
next Planning Commission meeting and discuss the proper submittal
of plans. Finally, Mr. DeVries reiterated that he felt a legal_
question had to be answered between the parties before the Planning
Commission could act on the plans.
The Secretary stated that the staff have to assume that the plans
submitted for site and building plan approval are legitimate. He
stated that he did not _feel it was the Planning Commission's re-
sponsibility to settle the dispute between the parties. Regarding
the request to table the matter, the Secretary stated that the
Planning Commission should consider the feelings of the applicant
and whether the plans as submitted are in order. The Secretary also
pointed out that the Planning Commission does not have to act on
the plans for another 30 days.
The Planning Commission was then approached by Mr. Bill Clelland,
Attorney for James Merila. Mr. Clelland stated that the request
to table the application was improper. He stated that the dispute
between Mr. Merila and Mr. DeVries boils down to whether Mr. DeVries
has the exclusive rights to use the plans which were prepared for
the Earle Brown Farm Estates. Mr. Clelland stated that such building
plans are not owned by the builder who uses them and added that it
is Mr. DeVries who wants the Planning Commission to settle a legal
question which should be answered in court. Mr. Clelland pointed
out there is obviously competition between developers of similar
types of townhouse projects. He stated that tabling the matter
would favor one developer over the other unjustly.. Mr. Clelland
added that the matter has been thoroughly discussed with Mr. DeVries'
attorneys
Mr. Merila then approached the Planning Commission and explained at.
some length the background to the dispute which was being aired before
7 -15 -82 -3-
the Planning Commission. Mr. Merila pointed out that when a con -
ceptual site and building plan was brought to the Planning Commission
during the hearings on the rezoning application, a speculative lay- -
out was used because no builder had been lined up. He admitted that
the building layout utilized the same footprint of the buildings
developed on the Earle Brown Farm Estates. He stated that.the plan
had always been referred to as a concept plan as opposed to a
definite design. Mr,.Merila explained that the rezoning approval
was based on a preliminary plat and grading and utility plans. He
noted that there were no building plans because the builder had not
been selected -at that time.. He stated that after receiving approval
of the preliminary plat and the grading and utility plans, the
applicant,- Mr..Bergstrom, wanted to start grading the site in prepar -
ation of..the development. However, Mr. Merila went on, staff required
full site and building plans and final plat approval before issuing
permits for grading and utilities.. Mr.. Merila explained that at that
point a builder still had not been selected.
Mr.`Merila went on to explain that H. E. Homes looked at the plans
prepared by Janis Blumentals for John DeVries. These plans were to
be changed, he said. During the time immediately before the Planning
Commission of June 17, 1982, Mr. Blumentals was out of town and,
therefore, the building plans for the Earle Brown Farm Estates were
submitted with a new name stamped on the plans. Mr. Merila admitted
that this was a mistake and stated that H.E. Homes has attempted to redesign
the building plans since that time. He explained that the plans
submitted at the July 1, 1982 meeting were pulled from the agenda
because H. E. Homes was concerned that Mr. DeVries and Mr. Beisner
had not been satisfied with the revisions. Mr. Merila stated that
the new plans submitted since that time are substantially different,
utilizing as they do, a larger foundation plan and a different arrange-
ment of rooms- throughout the units. Mr. Merila apologized for the
inconvenience that this private dispute had caused to the Planning
Commission.
li Commissioner Simmons noted that Mr. Merila did not want the plans
before the Commission to be tabled. She stated that Mr. Merila was
saving money by having a nonarchitect make changes to plans which
had been prepared previously by an architect, and then having them
recertified by a structural engineer. She stated that if no one had
been at the July.1, 1982 meeting to object to the plans submitted
at that time, she suspected that Mr. Merila would have gone forward
with those plans for approval rather than withdrawing them. Mr.
Merila stated that he had asked the architect (Janis Blumentals) for
P plans from the Earle Town arm t
permission to show the la f m E rl B F Estates to
H. E. Homes. He stated that Mr. Blumentals gave that permission.
Commissioner Simmons noted that Mr. Merila was working in the same
capacity for Mr. Bergstrom as he had Mr. DeVries earlier. Chairman
Lucht stated that he failed to see the relevance of these questions
to the Planning Commission's functions. Commissioner Simmons stated
that she was not satisfied with Mr. Merila's explanation as to why
the plans have been brought to the Planning Commission and revised
twice. She stated that it seemed to be part of the Planning Commis-
sion's function to approve plans that are legitimate for application
for building permits.
The Secretary explained that the Planning Commission's responsibility
is to make recommendations to the City Council. He explained that
7 -15 -82 -4-
i
the Planning Commission had 60 days before it must act on an appli-
cation. He stated that the Planning Commission must decide whether
they are ready to recommend a set- of based on whether those
.plans are in order. He recommended that the Planning Commission
not delve.into who did what. However, he went on, if the Planning 4
Commission is not ready to make a recommendation at this time, it
can still table the application for up to 30 more days. If the
Planning Commission is ready to act on the application, they can
do so at this meeting, he stated. Commissioner Simmons asked whether
the entire discussion had been impertinent. The Secretary explained
briefly why the plans have been redesigned and stated that the
Planning Commission should look at the plans irrespective of how or
why they have been redesigned and should simply decide on whether
they can be recommended to the City Council at this time. The
Secretary explained that the applicant asked to resubmit the plans
once the dispute arose following the June 17, 1982 meeting. At
the July 1, 1982 meeting, the applicant asked to have the plans
tabled again in order to do further redesigning. He'concluded by
saying that the differences between private parties-should be aired
before a court and not settled by the Planning Commission.
In response to a question from Commissioner Simmons regarding the
requirement for the plans to be signed by a registered architect,
Mr. Merila stated that the plans will be submitted by Rydell Home
Designers and Cordell Engineering, a structural engineering firm.
Commissioner Simmons asked whether Cordell Engineering would..be
qualified to sign the plans as structural engineers. Mr. Merila
responded in the affirmative.
The Secretary explained that the Zoning Ordinance required that
®" site and building plans be submitted by a registered Minnesota
architect. He explained that the policy in the past has been that
site plans may be submitted by either an architect or a registered
engineer. He stated that before building permits have been issued, .
building plans must be signed by either a registered architect or
structural engineer. He explained that the question of certification
was discussed with people at the State Building Codes Division and
that they have ruled that townhouses in groups of more than two units
must be designed by a registered architect or structural engineer.
Mr. DeVries stated that there was a confusion in the way the ordinance
was written, that the ordinance does not mention structural engineers.
The Secretary stated that the ordinance requires plans to be submitted
by a registered architect and agreed that it does not mention structural
engineers. He stated that the policy in the past has been to accept
drawings which have been submitted by either an architect or a I
structural engineer in the case of building plans or a registered
land surveyor or civil engineer in case of site plans.
Mr. DeVries stated that he felt there are other questions besides
whether the plans are qualified for approval which the Planning Com
mission must be aware of. He stated that he had no contact with
Mr. Bergstrom, who he assumes is still the developer for the project.
Mr. DeVries also stated that he did not think Janis Blumentals would
say that he had given permission to use the Earle Brown Farm Estates
plan. He stated that although the applicant has a concern regarding"
the time delay because of a tabling, there are at the same time,
savings to be gained from not having plans prepared by an architect.
Mr. Clelland stated that his client asked for decision regarding the
7 -15 -82 -5-
plans and added that Mr. DeVries could raise his issues in court.
Commissioner Ainas stated that he considered the basic question to
be whether the plans are in order regardless of who prepared what.
Chairman Lucht asked for a clarification of Conditions No. 11 and 8
in the Information Sheet. The Secretary answered that the Assistant
City Engineer has recommended maintaining the water level in the
holding pond at the Hi Crest Square Estates at 840 feet. The-"
Assistant City Engineer stated that the memo he had prepared looked
at-three.ponds in Brooklyn Park. He stated that ponds with vertical
drainagq'were not aesthetically pleasing. He recommended maintaining
a minimum water level so that the pond does not become a maintenance
problem.
Commissioner Simmons noted that Condition No. 8 referred to "an
acceptable safety risk." She- asked - whether it would'be appropriate'
to do-a larger study on ponds as part of_ application or for it
to be done independently of this application. The Secretary stated
that the staff needed direction from the Planning Commission as to
- what'it wanted in terms of information in order to make a decision.
He stated that it was up to the Commission to decide. He stated
that he did not consider the proposed pond to be a swimming pool and
sugges.ed that perhaps signs posted "No Swimming" would perhaps
eliminate any need for fencing around the pond. He also stated that
the recommendation to keep the water level high actually adds to the
safety risk, but to not maintain the water level would detract from
the aesthetic appearance of the pond. In answer to another question
from Commissioner Simmons, the Secretary recommended that the Planning
Commission decide whether the proposed pond is acceptable for this
particular development and study other ponds later.
Commissioner Simmons pointed out that Brooklyn Center is experiencing
increased pressure on its drainage system and that ponding is being
used more and more to control drainage patterns. She stated that
the need for aesthetic appeal and for economy and providing for
drainage is always assumed in the Planning Commission's deliberations,
but that safety seems to be less of a concern. The Secretary asked
the Planning Commission to decide how they wanted to deal with the
question of ponds. The Assistant City Engineer explained that in this
__.narti.cular case, the ground water level is 842 feet and the pond
outlet is 840 feet. He concluded, therefore, that at most times
the water level will be at 840 feet, except in dry periods. During
these times, he explained, there would be a need for 'additional water
to be pumped into the pond to maintain a level of 840 feet.
Mr. Merila stated that one of the problems he was trying to deal with
in designing the drainage system was.the drainage problems of the
single- family - homes to the east. He stated that an open pond would
function better and would be more aesthetic for the development. He
added that the applicant has no problem providing a water supplement
to the `pond.
Chairman Lucht stated that the "No Swimming signs could be used.
Commissioner Simmons stated that she felt such signs were inadequate.
Commissioner Simmons again stated that there may be a need to address
the general question of ponds in Brooklyn Center and wondered whether
it was appropriate to study the question at this time. The Secretary
answered that that could always be done in the future and that approval
of the present application need not hinge on such a study. Commissioner
z
7 -15 -82 -6--
- Simmons stated that the conclusion of a future study might have
to be applied retroactively to the pond in question and this might
be more difficult at that time. Chairman Lucht stated that he felt
the pond at the Hi Crest Square Estates would be unique because of
the water table feeding into it. Commissioner Manson stated that
she did not know of anything -that would eliminate all risk in
association with this pond. She stated that the parents must be
left with some responsibility and recommended that the plans be
approved as is, without any barriers around the pond.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 82029
.Applicant: Banco Properties
Location: 5717 Xerxes Avenue North (Westbrook Mall parking lot)
Request: Site and Building Plan
The applicant requests site and building plan approval to install an automatic
teller machine in the Westbrook Mall east parking lot in front of,Hirschfield's
at 5717 Xerxes Avenue North. The area in question is bounded by Dayton's Nome
Store to the north, by the Westbrook Mall shopping center on the west, by Jerry
Leonard's store for men on the south, and by Xerxes Avenue North on the east.
The property is zoned C2 and the proposed automatic teller machine (ATM) is a
permitted use in that zoning district.
The proposed ATM will be located 50' west of the Xerxes Avenue North westerly
right -of -way line (the minimum setback required from major thoroughfares. The
ATM itself is about 11' x 12' and will be tilted at an angle so as to be con-
gruent with the angle parking stalls in the parking lot. There is also an.
attached canopy which extends over the drive -up lane and which also extends
legally into the 50' setback area. Cars using the ATM will travel along the
eastbound driving lane in front of Hirshfield's and angle into the ATM drive -sp
in the same fashion they would enter a parking space. Cars will then exit into
the westbound driving land running toward Hirschfield's (see drawing attached).
It is not anticipated that vehicle stacking for the ATM will cause problems for
cars parked in adjacent spaces since the main hours of use will be nonbusiness
hours. It is also recognized that the existing uses in the shopping center are
low traffic generators and it is, therefore, unlikely that spaces adjacent to
the ATM will regularly be occupied. The applicant estimates, given the speed of
transactions, that no more than one car would ever be waiting to use the machine.
The proposed ATM drive -up will eliminate five (5) parking stalls from the West
brook Mall p arking lot. A proof -of- parking plan submitted in support of Appli
cation No. 77016 showed 574 parking spaces, a surplus of three (3) spaces for
the entire shopping center. (Only 437 stalls have actually been put in with 137
deferred). Staff feel that it would be possible to glean two more stalls from
this plan to make up for the five stalls lost to the ATM. Banco has indicated
that the structure, in all likelihood, will be at this site'for no more than
5 years.
In general, the plans appear to be in order and approval is recommended subject
g _
to at least the following conditions.
1 Building plans. are subject to review and approval by the Building E
Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance
of permits.
2. Grading, drainage, utility and berming plans are subject to review
and approval by the City Engineer; prior to the issuance of permits.
3. A site performance agreement and supporting financial guarantee
(in an amount to be determined by the City Manager) be sub -
mitted prior to the issuance of permits to assure completion of
approved site improvements.
4. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery which is subject to
Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances.
5. B612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all concrete islands.

Application No. 82023
Applicant: Bergstrom Realty Company
Location: 1300 block on south side of 69th Avenue North
. Request: Site and Building Plan
The applicant requests amended approval of site and building plans for the first
phase of the Hi Crest Square Estates townhouse development on the south side of the
1300 block of 69th Avenue North. This application received approval by the Planning
Commission on June 17, 1982 and a revised building plan was tabled on July 1, 1982.
The change involves a new building design for the six unit buildings and four unit
buildings throughout the project. No other changes have been made to the site,
landscaping or grading plans. The design submitted at the June 17, 1982 meeting
was essentially a carbon copy of the design used in the Earle Brown Farm Estates
developed by DeVries Builders and was intended as a prototype rather than a final
design. Because of concerns raised by DeVries Builders and Dominion Development
over the use of the plans, the applicant wishes to submit a new design for amended
approval by the Planning Commission.
The new design differs from the design previously submitted in certain respects.
The foundations of the outer four units (two on each end) will be 20' x 32' wi
an enclosed foyer between the garage and the main living area. The previous
design called for the outer two units to be 19' 6" x 30' with mechanical /laundry
rooms between the garage and the main living area. The new interior units are 17'
6" x 32' as opposed to 16' x 30' as proposed earlier. The general arrangement
of rooms within the units is not different, though the dimensions vary slightly.
_ The front exterior elevations are substantially changed from the design proposed at
• the June 17, 1982 meeting. Rather than the narrow lap board siding, the applicant
proposes to use a stacato exterior with cedar batting boards in a vertical pattern.
Face brick columns about 3' to 4' high accent the garages. Rear and side elevations
do have horizontal lap board siding.
The new plans have been designed by Dennis Rydell who is not a registered architect.
However, the applicant has agreed to have the plans certified by a registered
structural engineer prior to the issuance of permits, as required by City Ordinance.
Altogether,,the plans appear to be acceptable and approval is recommended, subject
to at least the following conditions:
1. Building plans are subject to review and approval.by the Building
Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance
p
of permits.:
2: Grading, drainage', utility and berming plans are subject to review and
approval by the City Engineer, prior to the issuance of permits; and
specifically, should conform to the revisions and requirements set
forth in the Assistant City Engineer.'s.memo dated 6- 14 -82.
3. A site performance agreement and supporting financial guarantee
(in an amount to be determined by the City Manager) shall be
submitted prior to the issuance of permits to assure completion
of approved site improvements for the entire development.
• 4. Any outside trash disposal facilities shall be appropriately
screened from view.

5. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery which is subject to

7. All areas regraded, but not developed according to plan shall be

Wendell R. Anderson
.Larkin, Hoffman, Daly and Lindgren, -Ltd.
City Manager of Anoka, Blaine, Brooklyn
Park, Champlin, Brooklyn Center, Maple
Grove, Administrator County of Anoka,
Executive Director Chamber of Commerce -
Prior to his leaving on vacation, Bob Thistle requested that -I
prepare a joint powers agreement for consideration by the various
governmental entities and Chambers of Commerce listed above to
retain the services of Wendell R. Anderson to represent our interests
in promoting the financing and construction of proposed North Cross-
town. Ana agreement has been
g reached h d between several of the cities
and Mr. Anderson. He has started his services for us as of the first
of the month.
Enclosed is a draft of a proposed joint powers, agreement for your
consideration. The document has been kept relatively simple and has
been left open -ended so that other governmental entities or groups
interested in participating will be allowed to join.
It is my understanding that there has been no firm discussions or
agreement on the pro - rating of the costs of the program. It is our
thought that the fairest method of proration would be on the basis
of population of the participating municipalities or groups. The
population would be the most recently certified Metropolitan Council
figures.
As an example, based on the 1980 census figures, if only the cities
of Anoka, Blaine, Brooklyn Park, Champlin and Coon.Rapids participated,
there would be a total of 133 units. Each unit would be equal to
$30 per month. Anoka, with 16 units, would be charged $480 i
g per .month;
Blaine, with 29 units, $870; Brooklyn Park, with 43 units, $1,260;
Champlin, with 9 units, $270; and Coon Rapids, with 36 units, $1,080.
Obviously, if more communities participate, the number of units will
be increased and the cost per unit reduced. The figures will also

JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT TO RETAIN THE
SERVICES OF WENDELL R. ANDERSON AS A
LOBBYIST FOR NORTH CROSSTOWN HIGHWAY
(TH 610)
3
This agreement made and entered into effective the first
day of July, 1982, by and between the Cities of Anoka, Blaine,
Brooklyn Park, Champlin and Coon Rapids, parties of the first part
hereinafter referred to as the "Agencies" and Wendell R. Anderson,
of Larkin, Hoffman, Daly and Lindgren, Ltd., Attorneys at Law,
hereinafter referred to as "Contractor ",
WITNESSETH:
Over the past several years, the State of Minnesota
Department of Transportation has had under consideration construction
of the North Crosstown Highway to be known as Trunk Highway 610
creating a link between U.S. Highway No. 10 in Coon Rapids and.Inter
state Highway No. 94 in Maple Grove. The project contemplates the
construction of a bridge across the Mississippi River between
Brooklyn Park and Coon Rapids. '•
The project has proceeded to the point of holding public
hearings on design features of the project. The project is proposed
to be financed from Federal Interstate Substitution Funds. The
Metropolitan Council has given the project number one priority for
funding under the Interstate Substitution Program.
The President of the United States has proposed a reduction
j in the total dollars available for funding through the Interstate
Substitution Program. The federal government is contemplating revising
its policies for the allocation of the funding from a state basis to
a nation -wide basis, thus resulting in considerable competition
among all states for the remaining substitution funding.,
The construction of North Crosstown project has been
1 supported by the County of Anoka and the communities in the north
suburban area, both in Anoka and Hennepin counties for a number of.
years. The project is deemed critical to the future development
and viability of the northern.suburban.area. Each of the Agencies
4
which are a part of this agreement deem it in the best interests of
their community that the North Crosstown be constructed. Each of
1
the Agencies, however, realizes that the project cannot be
constructed without the Interstate Substitution funding. The
Agencies deem it necessary and imperative that the need for the
project be clearly and explicitly made known to Members of Congress
and to the appropriate representatives of the federal and state
governments. To accomplish this the Agencies deem it imperative
that the services of a lobbyist be retained.to represent the e A
en ' es
y p Agencies
at the various levels of government.
Minnesota Statutes Section 471.59 authorize: two.or more
governmental units to enter into an agreement for the joint and
cooperative exercise of any power common to the contracting parties.
The Promotion of the development of a community is an inherent power
exercisable b each of the Agencies which are a

agreement.

Minnesota Statutes Section 471.59, the parties hereto do agree as

Curt Pearson, the City Attorney for Brooklyn Park, had several
suggested language changes in the proposed Joint Powers Agreement
for the retention of Wendell R. Anderson as a consultant for the
various communities. These changes have been incorporated into
the Joint Powers Agreement and I enclose'a revised copy of the
agreement for your review and execution.
The principal changes are the change of the word "Lobbyist" to
"Consultant ". The second change appears in the last paragraph prior
++ ++ o the common powers of
es t
� to the Now, therefore, clause and relates _ P
the municipalities which will be exercised through the Joint Powers
Agreement. Section 2, Services also changes the scope of services
to require the cities to cooperate with the State of Minnesota acid
other governmental entities in our efforts to secure the Interstate
Substitution funding. It thereby makes it clear that we will
continue to support the Interstate Substitution process as opposed to
earmarking the funds. The North Crosstown will be the number one
project in Minnesota under the Interstate Substitution process.
However, should they go to an earmarking process'in Washington, we will
be in a position to argue effectively for the inclusion of our project.
An additional change was in the address for the Larkin, Hoffman law
firm which is located in the First Bank,Place West rather than the
IDS Center.
In all other respects the - agreement is the same as previously submitted

Dear Jerry:
Attached is a copy of a letter sent to Dick Braun, Commissioner
of the Department of Transportation. I thought you should know
where the City of St. Lou Park stands on the allocation of in-
terstate substitution funds and what our current situation is
with reference to the expenditure of local funds.
At the last Council meeting, we discussed the possibility of the
City participating in your lobbying effort; however, given the
directives under which your lobbyist is to perform, we decided that
it would be best not to participate at this time.
Since your effort has a tremendous impact on the Highway 100 1W.
36th St. interchange improvement, you can expect me to be per -
iodically contacting you for the latest information.
Very truly yours,
James L. Crimeyer

Dear Commissioner Braun:
At the Council meeting on Monday, July 19, 1982 the City Council
adopted Resolution No. 7182 approving our Memorandum of Understanding
between the City and the Minnesota Department of Transportation (at-
tached).
As you know, this memorandum serves to reduce the cost of the project,
doubles the financial commitment of the City of St. Louis Park and in-
creases the commitment of the Department of Transportation for this
intersection improvement. Both of these commitments are.contingent
upon the availability of interstate substitution funds to be allocated r
by Congress. This agreement greatly increases the financial risk _for
the City; however., we are willing to make this commitment based on
our conversations with the Metropolitan Council's staff, members of
the Transportation Advisory Board and representatives from the Depart-
ment of Transportation. Current advice is that if a greater commitment
is made by the local agencies, we will have a better chance of as-
suring our Congressmen that interstate substitution funds should be
allocated to those projects that have some reasonable expectation of
Proceeding to construction.
It was - also our understanding that an effort to "earmark" the funds
would be considered undesirable and that all of us -- cities, Depart-
ment of Transportation, and Met Council -- would encourage our Con -
gressmen to allocate sufficient funds to the State of Minnesota.
The City of St. Louis Park has abided by this understanding and has not
_made any special effort to lobby specifically for the Highway 100/ W.
36th St. interchange improvement. However, we have recently learned
that a consortium of northern suburbs has retained a special.lobbyist
to intervene on their behalf to obtain an allocation for the State of
Minnesota, and failing that objective, to specifically allocate funds

for the North Town Bridge, without regard to other projects established
on the priority list. We are very disappointed to hear of this effort
as i t appears they are not dealing with the complete l i s t of priority .
projects established for the metropolitan area but one very specific
project. -
Given the above information, the City Council of St. Loui Park has
agreed to the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding; however, we are
forced into a position of deferring our commitment to the purchase of
right -of -way because the financial risk would be too great -for the
City. If the lobbying effort as described above is successful and funds
are earmarked for the construction of the North Town Bridge, there
probably will not be any interstate substitution funds available.for
any of the other metropolitan projects in the very near future. One
would therefore have to assume that the improvement of the Highway :1.00 /W. `
36th St. interchange would no longer be a viable project.
We would appreciate any assistance or advice you might provide us with in
reference to this matter.
Thank you.
Very truly yours,,.

FROM Paul DesVernine, President
Brooklyn Center Chamber of Commerce
This memo is to .re- affirm the support of the Brooklyn Center Chamber
of Commerce for the Sunday Brunch Law for Brooklyn Center.
The Chamber originally passed support of the Sunday Brunch Law in September
of 1981. Further support of the issue was sent to the City Council in
_ December 1981 from the city's restaurants.
Since that time further study has found that the following area cities
have passed the Sunday Brunch Law:
Minneapolis Crystal Plymouth
Saint Paul Anoka (Robbinsdale -
Brooklyn Park Golden Valley has no liquor estab-
lishments)
The Brooklyn Center Chamber of Commerce again urges your support of
this law for our city's restaurants because of the competitive stance
of our surrounding communities.
If we can be of further help to you in this issue, or any other, please
do not hesitate calling on us.
