TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Sy app, Director of Public Works
DATE: September 6, 1979
RE: Extension of Senior Citizen Sewer Discount
On March 27, 1978, the City Council adopted Resolution 78 -61 establishing a new
sanitary sewer rate schedule (see copy attached). Included in that resolution
is a discount rate for senior citizens effective through 1979. A review of the
minutes of that meeting indicates:
L That the City Council requested public distribution of inforn action
regarding water conservation measures.
2. That the City Council requested the City administration to ronitor
the program for senior citizen discounts; and
3. That the City Council requested the City Manager to study the possi-
bility of providing a subsidy for handicapped persons and persons on
fixed or low incomes.
In response to those requests by the City Council:
1. Infornation regarding water conservation measures was printed in the
,City newsletter. Also, the Brooklyn Center Post published some infonra-
tion on this subject as a public service.
2. At this time, 876 senior citizen affidavits have been submitted. This
represents approximately 10% of the total nurnber of residential accounts,
and represents an income reduction of $24,528/year (876 x $7.00 /quarter
x 4 quarters) for 1979.
(Note: At the March 27, 1978 meeting, Jim Merila estimated that if
discounts were limited to senior citizens with maximum household incomes
of less than $5,000 per year, approximately 40 of all accounts would
qualify. Obviously, by removing the income limit, the number of quali-
fiers is much higher.)

Memo to Gerald G. Splinter
Page 2 of 2 Pages
September 6, 1979
A cursory review of meter readings indicates that many of the persons who
have received the discounted rate do, in fact, have low water usage. How-
ever, there appears to be some notable exceptions. Unfortunately, because
of the changeover in the corrputer program, we are not able to obtain a
detailed special analysis at this time without ding it manually.
3. In response to your inquiry, Senator William Luther had the Senate Counsel
prepare a mew regarding the matter of discounts for handicapped and low
income persons. That mamo indicates that existing law leaves the City's
authority to adopt such policy as questionable. Zb eliminate those
questions, he supports an amendment to M.S. 444.075. Senator Carlson
indicated a willingness to support such legislation.
Subsequently, you sent a letter to Don Slater, Executive Director of the
L.M.C. asking that L.M.C. draft and seek sponsors for such legislation.
At your request, I contacted Duke Addi.cks at the L.M.C. to inquire as to
the status of your request. Duke advised ire that, because of their study
committee protocol, and their current workload in covering regional meetings,
it is very unlikely that the L.M.C. would be in a position to draft and
support such legislation in the 1980 session—it would probably have to await
the 1981 session. However, Duke did say he personally thinks this is a good
concept and that if Brooklyn Center can get our legislators to get a bill
drafted and agree to carry it, the L-.M.C. would certainly lend its support.
Recommendations
1. Because we do not have a detailed analysis of the Senior Citizen discount
Program, I recommend that we extend it for one more gear, at a rate of
$9.50 /quarter (500 of the 1980 single family rate). A resolution for this
purpose is attached.
2. Resolution 78 -61 set the S
AC charge for 1978 at $400.00 per unit equivalent.
The 1979 SAC charge is $425.00, and I understand 1980 SAC charges will be
between $450 and $500. 'Ib eliminate the need for annual revision of this
resolution, I recommend that the SAC charge be established "as set by Metro
Waste Control Commission ". This change is included in the proposed reso-
lution amending Resolution 78 -61.
3. If the City Council wishes local legislators to author a bill amending the
existing law so as to allow handicapped and low income discounts, they may
wish to adopt the .second proposed resolution attached hereto.
Respectfully subndtted,

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 79053
Applicant: Cass Screw
Location: 4748 France Avenue North
Request:: Variance_
The applicant seeks a variance of 75' from the 100' buffer greenstrip required
where I -2 and R -1 abut at a property line. The abutment involved is that of
the Cass Screw property (I -2) to Outlots 1,2 and 3, Ryan Lake Terrace Addition
which are technically zoned R -1 since they fail to appear in any other zoning
district. The Commission is referred to the information sheet and minutes for
the previous meeting for more background on the requested variance.
At the August 16th meeting, the Commission concluded that an inconsistency _
existed in the City's Zoning Ordinance relating to buffers separating Industrial
and Multiple Family Residential. The inconsistency results from requiring an
industrial use to provide a 50' buffer when abutting R -4 through R -7 across
a street, but requiring no extra buffer when abuttment is. at a property line.
Staff has prepared language for an ordinance amendment which would do away with
the present inconsistency and would also allow Cass Screw to build the addition
to their plant along the 25' setback line as proposed.
If it desires, the Planning Commission may recommend approval of the proposed
25' setback either by means of granting a variance or by making certain findings
concerning the Ryan Lake Terrace Outlots and adopting an ordinance amendment
to Section 35 -413. Granting of a variance is not recommended since the standards
for a variance are not clearly met by this application. It is, therefore, recom-
mended that the Planning Commission consider a recommendation to adopt the
attached ordinance amendment and make the following findings concerning the
Ryan Lake Terrace Outlots.
1. That the R -1 zoning of Outlots 1 through 7, Ryan Lake Terrace
Addition is unintentional.
2. That the intent of the outlots is to limit or prevent access
from the industrially zoned property onto 47th Avenue North
3. That for setback purposes the outlots should be considered
to be what they would be used for under normal circumstances,
namely, public right -of -way,
If the -above findings are made, it shall be unnecessary to consider variances
for any of the industrial uses to the..north of 47th Avenue, North :so lonn:.as .:those
uses conform to ordinance setback requirements. The findings amount to a. declaration
that, for zoning purposes, the Outlots shall be considered the same as public
right -of -way.

A
Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 79053
Applicant: Cass Screw Company
Location: 4748 France Avenue North
Request: Variance
The applicant seeks a variance of 75 feet from the required 100 foot buffer
strip where I -2 and R -1 abut at a property line. The variance is in conjunction
with and applies to site and building plan approval for a 60' x 120' addition to
the existing Cass Screw plant along the present 25' setback line. Cass Screw is
bounded on the east by heavy industrial use, on the north by 48th Avenue, on
the west by France Avenue, and on the south by three outlots measuring roughly
5' x 130' and zoned R -1 by ommission from any other zoning district. The outlots
abut 47th Avenue North and belong to the owner of the apartment building at 3401
47th Avenue North. On the south side of 47th Avenue North are eight apartment
buildings in the R5 zone.
The applicant has submitted a letter explaining his reasons for requesting a
variance (attached). In it he states that:
1. The building would not be as efficient if the addition must be
set back more than 25 feet.
2. The addition will align with the existing building and both
will be kept free of openings.
3. The character of the neighborhood would not be changed.
4. There is ample separation between the apartments and the Cass
Screw plant.
As to the outlots (known as outlots 1 through 7, Ryan lake Terrace Addition)
and this Rl zoning:
The outlots were included in the approved plat of the Ryan Lake Terrace Addition
(Planning Commission Application No. 60115) for the purpose of denying access
onto 47th Avenue North of any industrial traffic from existing or potential uses
to the north. Their existence has effectively barred industrial development on
the north side of 47th Avenue North, even though 47th Avenue North is a public
street. When the Ryan Lake Terrace property was first zoned for apartments in
1962, the entire plat (including the outlots) was zoned R -B (a general apartment
zone). In 1968, the entire Zoning Ordinance was revised and the description of
Land included in the R -5 district was changed to read: "Lots 1 through 7, Block
1, and.0utlot 8, Ryan Lake Terrace Addition: Thus, Outlots 1 through 7 were
omitted and, failing to appear in any other district, must be considered R -1
property. Staff can find no documentation of intent on for this rezoning.
The Comprehensive Plan speaks to this location on page 68 in the following terms:
Encourage "cleaning up of the industrial area near Ryan Lake, specifically out -
door storage of materials and equipment, thereby improving the visual appearance
of the area for the benefit of apartment dwellers directly to the south." A
proposed zoning map included in the Comprehensive Plan, however, shows the R -5
zoning district line running along the north side of 47th Avenue North. If the
intent of the Plan were to change the zoning to R -1, it would seem logical to
show the zoning line on the south side of 47th Avenue North where it is now.
8 -16 -79 -] -
` Application No. 79053
If the outlots were zoned R -5, the setback requirement would be only 10' from
an interior lot line. Likewise if the outlots were zoned I -2 or any other
zone except R -1, R -2, or R -3, which require a 100' buffer greenstrip. The
previous owner of the outlots in question has indicated, moreover, that the
zoning of the outlots was never taken into consideration in the platting or
rezoning of the Ryan Lake Terrace Addition. Also,the City Attorney has indicated
-that an R -1 is "unreasonable" since the lots are not even buildable.
In light of the unique circumstances surrounding the parcel, staff recommends
that the Planning Commission take two actions regarding the proposed variance:
1. Make a finding that the R -1 zoning of Outlots 1 through 7,
Ryan Lake Terrace Addition is unintentional
2. Recommend approval of a variance which is based on what the
outlots would be used for under normal circumstances, namely
for public right -of -way.
Such a variance would seem to meet the ordinance criteria of uniqueness,
hardship, and compatibility with surrounding land uses. A variance based on
the above - stated rationale, however, would be only 50' rather than 75' which
the applicant seeks. If the above- stated reasoning is accepted (and made a
part of any variance recommendation), any variance greater than 50' should be
allowed only after amendment to.the City's Zoning Ordinance Section 35 -413 (1).

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 79052
Applicant: Cass Screw Company
Location: 4748 France Avenue North
Request: Site and Building Plan Approval
The applicant seeks site and building plan approval for a 60 x 120' addition
to his existing screw manufacturing plant at 4848 France Avenue North. The
property is zoned I -2 and is bounded by France - Avenue North on the west, by
48th Avenue North on the north, by a heavy industrial use on the east and by
Outlots 1, 2, and 3 of Ryan Lake Terrace Addition on the south. The addition
is proposed for the east side of the building along the present south wall
line, 25' from the south property line. The additional 7,200 square feet of
space will be used primarily for storage with some space used for manufacturing,
both permitted uses in the I -2 zone.
The applicant also proposes to install a newly paved parking area with 46 parking
stalls. The plan shows 13 additional stalls on the site for a total of 59. The
ordinance formula of one stall per 200 square feet of office space and one
stall per 800 square feet of industrial space results in 55 required spaces
(2,628 sq. ft. office; 33,337 sq. ft. industrial). The proposed addition
includes a single truck dock on the east end of the north wall. A 20 foot roof
overhang is proposed on the north side of the addition for covered outside
storage ge and for the dock area. An illegal driveway leading onto 47th Avenue
North will be closed and all truck access will be primarily off 48th Avenue,
North.
The plans indicate elimination of nonconforming parking on 48th Avenue North
and construction of a new parking lot on France Avenue North. Three light
standards are indicated along the east portion of th-e site and an 8' high wood
fence is proposed on the south side of the parking lot consistent with the
building setback line of 25 feet.
Drainage on the east portion of the site is to be handled by a gutter running
along a line consistent with the west edge of the new parking lot.
The existing Cass Screw facility is nonconforming as to structure, but not use.
The City has allowed nonconforming structures to expand along current setback
lines. Because the addition to the building will require a variance from such
setbacks and possibly even an ordinance amendment (see information sheet for 79053),
it is recommended that this application be tabled until the setback issue is
resolved.

STUDY SESSION
AUGUST 30, 1979
CITY HALL
CALL TO ORDER
The Planning Commission met in study session and was called to order by Chairman
Hal Pierce at 7:37 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Chairman Pierce, Commissioners Malecki, Theis, Hawes, Manson, Lucht and Erickson.
Also present were Director of Planning and Inspections Ronald Warren, Superin-
tendent of Engineering James Noska and Planning Assistant Gary Shallcross.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - August 16, 1979
Motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Hawes, to approve the
minutes of the August 16, 1979 meeting as submitted. Voting in favor: Chairman
Pierce, Commissioners Malecki, Theis, Hawes, Manson, Lucht and Erickson. Voting
against: none. The motion passed unanimously. The Planning Assistant pointed
out an administrative revision on Page 10 of the August 16, 1979 minutes pertain-
ing to the proposed ponding area in front of the Cass Screw facility at 4748
France Avenue North.
APPLICATION NOS. 79053 and 79052 (Cass Screw Company
Following the Chairman's explanation, the first item of consideration was the
site and building plan and variance applications submitted by Cass Screw for a
60' x 120' addition to the east side of the existing building. The Secretary
pointed out that the applicant seeks a variance of 75 feet from the 100' buffer
greenstrip required where I -2 and Rl abut at a property line. The abuttment
involved is that of the Cass Screw property (I -2) to Outlots 1, 2 and 3, Ryan
Lake Terrace Addition which are technically zoned R1 since they fail to appear
in any other zoning district. The Secretary stated that at the August 16 Plan-
ning Commission meeting, the Commission concluded that an inconsistency existed
in the City's Zoning Ordinance relating to buffers separating industrial and
multiple- family residential property. The inconsistency results from requiring
an industrial use to provide a 50' buffer when abutting R4 through R7 across a
street, but requiring no extra buffer when abuttment is at a property line. He
stated that staff has prepared language for an ordinance amendment which would
do away with the present inconsistency and would also allow Cass Screw to build
the addition to their plant along the 25 foot setback line as proposed.
The Secretary explained that the Planning Commission could recommend approval
of the proposed 25 foot setback either by means of granting a variance or by
making certain findings concerning the Ryan Lake Terrace Outlots and adopting
an ordinance amendment to Section 35 -413. He recommended against granting a
variance since the standards for a variance are not clearly met by this appli-
cation. He recommended that the Planning Commission recommend to the City
Council the adoption of an ordinance amendment and make the following findings
concerning the Ryan Lake Terrace Outlots:
1. That the R1 zoning of Outlots 1 through 7, Ryan Lake Terrace
Addition is unintentional.
8 -30 -79 -1-
2. That the intent of the Outlots is to limit or prevent access
from the industrially zoned property onto 47th Avenue North.
3. That for setback purposes, the Outlots should be considered
to be what they would be used for under normal circumstances,
namely, public right -of -way.
If the above findings are made, he said, it should be unnecessary to consider
variances for any of the other industrial uses to the north of 47th Avenue North
so long as those uses conform to ordinance setback requirements. The findings,
he stated, amount to a declaration that for zoning purposes the Outlots shall be
considered the same as public right -of -way.
The Secretary then reviewed the site and building plan application. The
Secretary explained that the addition is'proposed for the east side of the build-
ing and will be used primari for storage with some manufacturing. He noted
that the application was tabl by the Planning Commission at its August 16, 1979
regular meeting until an ordinance amendment dealing with buffers between industrial
and multiple-family residential districts could be drafted for the Commission's
P Y
review. Using transparency of the site plan, the Secretary pointed out for
9 P Y p � Yp
the Commission some of the changes that would result from the new construction.
Parking would be relocated from 48th Avenue North to a parking lot on the east
side of the site, which would be improved. The addition will provide a new load-,
ing facility which will bring much of the truck traffic off of France Avenue and
onto 48th Avenue. He also noted that an outside storage area would be screened
b the b uilding, h
y u g, t e reby accomplishing the recommendation of the..Com Comprehensive
p
9
Plan to clean up outside storage s r' s across from the apartments
�n the industrial gal use
p p
on 47th Avenue North. He pointed out that the plan provides for an improved
parking lot with appropriate screening as required by the ordinance.
The Secretary stated that the addition would remove a number of negative aspects
that detract, from the site at resent. He mentioned in this regard the parking
p 9 p 9 ,
directly off 48th Avenue North, the unscreened and unpaved parking lot on the
P p g
east portion of the site, and the asphalt drive leading onto 47th Avenue North
which is illegal.
The Secretary then went into a more detailed discussion of the variance appli-
cation. He explained that Outlots 1 through 7 of the Ryan Lake Terrace Addition
were zoned R1 by omission in all likelihood. He noted that when R1 property
abuts I -2 ro ert at a property line, a 100 foot buffer strip is required on
p p Y
p p Y p q
the industrial side of the line. In light of the unique situation presented by
the Outlots, he said, a variance would seem to be justified up to the point
which the ordinance would allow if the Outlots were public right -of- way. The
ordinance would presently require a 50 foot setback where a multiple - residential
use abuts an ` industrial use across a street. This, however, does not seem
consistent with other provisions in the Zoning Ordinance and an ordi amend-
ment to allow industrial uses to be within 25 feet of their property l ines
when abutting multiple residential across a street has been submitted
for Planning Commission review.
The Secretary explained that the ordinance, as presently written, does not
provide any buffer provision between industrial and multiple - family residenti
uses (R4 through R7) when they abut at a property line. Yet when they abut
across a street line, the ordi requires a 50 foot buffer strip. He ex-
plained that the ordinance amendment would reduce the buffer strip required'
across a street and would also establish a reasonable buffer area when
industrial abuts a multiple- residential at a property line.
8 -30 -79 -2-
,He then reviewed the provisions of the draft ordinance amendment. He explained
that the Zoning Ordinance presently makes a distinction between Rl through R3
uses, and R4 through R7 uses. He stated that this differentiation may be based_
on structural differences between what are essentially single family dwelling
units and multiple - family dwelling units which do not have their own private
entrances. Chairman Pierce added that apartment complexes also have large
parking lots which require screening and that this screening may in some cases
serve the purpose of blocking out an industrial use.
The Secretary noted that the effect of the Zoning Ordinance amendment would be
to prohibit industrial activities, not including parking, within 50 feet of
multiple- family residential uses. He stated that while it might be desirable
to have larger buffer areas to protect multiple - residential uses, a more
stringent would create a number of nonconforming uses in the in-
dustrial park where there is no seeming conflict between the two different
uses. He then showed the Planning Commission on a transparency where the exist-
ing uses in the industrial park are situated in relation to the new Zoning
Ordinance requirement. He pointed out that the only conflict arises with
Artic Metals which is closer than 50 feet to the property line All other
industrial buildings in the industrial park which abut multiple - family resi-
dential uses are set back more than 50 feet.
Commissioner Lucht commented that the amendment would help the southwest area
abutting the pole yards. The Secretary agreed stating that it would be an
improvement for potential apartments abutting an industrial use at the property
line and that although the proposed 25 foot buffer across the street is less
than currently existing requirements,there would still be well over a 100 feet
separating apartment buildings and industrial buildings.
Commissioner Hawes inquired how close parking would be allowed to come at the
pole yards under the proposed ordinance amendment. The Secretary answered that
there would be no restriction on parking and that it would be allowed to come
within 5 feet of the property line. Commissioner Erickson stated that there
seemed to be an inconsistency between Subsection c and d of the proposed Zoning
Ordinance amendment, since d allows parking within the buffer strip and c does
-not. The Secretary, answered that the reason for allowing parking within the
buffer strip where there would be property line abuttment is between Industrial
and R4 through R7 property to protect existing situations in the industrial park.
The purpose is to avoid creating more nonconforming situations, he said Com-
missioner Erickson stated he still could not reconcile allowing parking so close
when industrial uses abut multiple - residential uses at a property line.
Commissioner Hawes asked whether a restriction could be added to Subsection c
which would stipulate how close parking could be allowed. The Secretary stated
that such a condition could be added. Chairman Pierce asked how close the
parking lots were to the property lines ,i n the industrial park. The Secretary
reviewed the transparency of the industrial park which indicated that the parking
lots varied in their setback from 5 to 27 feet. Chairman Pierce suggested that
a parking lot setback requirement of 15 feet should perhaps be considered.
Commissioner Hawes asked how much space is required to provide a berm. The
Superintendent of Engineering answered that at least 15 feet would be required
for a three foot berm. He recommended 20 feet for a 32 foot berm. The Secretary
asked how high a berm could be provided in a 10 foot space. The Superintendent
of Engineering answered that a two foot berm would be the highest. Chairman
Pierce stated that rule of thumb is generally six feet for every one foot of
height in order to maintain a three to one grade:
B -30 -79 -3-
Commissioner Hawes stated that he would like to see more than five feet required
as a parking lot setback where industrial and R4 through R7 abut at a property F'
line. The Secretary pointed out that other requirements in the Zoning Ordinance
comprehend screening of parking lots and outside storage and industrial activ-
ities. He suggested that these other requirements also provide.effective.
screening of the industrial use as well.
Commissioner Theis commented that in the case of the half street north of the
Soo Line Railroad, 30 feet of buffering would be lost since the right -of -way is
30 feet, rather than 60 feet. The Secretary answered that if the developer
wanted to get access to the industrial property from the existing half street,
he would have to dedicate the other half of the street and thereby provide the
additional 30 feet of right -of -way.
Commissioner Erickson commented that Subsection a excludes driveways from the
buffer area, but other subsections do not exclude this use. The Secretary
explained that driveways are allowed in cases where industrial uses abut resi-
dential uses across a street line for access purposes; and that the reason,
driveways are allowed in the buffer area between industrial and multiple-resi-
dential under the proposed ordinance is because of existing situations. Commis-
sioner Erickson stated that Subsection a -is more complete in its language
stipulating what the buffer `strip is to include and not include. He asked
whether the other subsections needed to be augmented. The Secretary answered
that the language in Subsections (a) and (b) were essentially a restatement
of the existing ordinance language. In the case of Subsections (c) and (d),
he said, the maximum buffer requirements have been provided which will not
create numerous nonconforming situations. 'Chairman Pierce pointed out that all
of the loading docks'in the industrial park are away from the residential area
and that -the rear industrial activity was therefore shielded.
In response to a question from Commissioner Erickson concerning the zoning of
the Outlots, the Secretary stated that no zoning really makes sense for the
Outlots. He urged the Commission to make the finding that for zoning and
setback purposes, the Outlots should be considered the same as public right-of-
way. On the other hand, he stated, if the Planning Commission wants to maintain
the 50 foot setback requirement where industrial abuts R4 through R7 at a
street line, they should deny the variance and reject or rewrite the proposed
ordinance amendment.
Commissioner Erickson asked how long it would take to change the City's
Ordinance. The Secretary explained that the variance and the site and building
plan applications would not-be before the City Council until September 10, 1979.
He explained that if the ordinance amendment is recommended, it would also be
on the September 10 Council agenda. He explained that an ordinance amendment
must receive two readings and that it would then become effective thirty days
after date of publication.
Commissioner Theis asked how close a multiple residential use could be to a
public street line. The Secretary stated that the front setback for multiple
residential uses is at least 35 feet from street right -of -way. He added that
a setback of 25 feet is required at the side corner. Commissioner Theis
commented that industrial and multiple - family residential uses could be,*in a
given case, 50 feet plus the amount of public right -of -way, or roughly 110
feet. He stated that this might not be an adequate distance,
The Planning Commission then discussed the site and building plans briefly.
Chairman Pierce suggested the addition of more trees along 48th Avenue North.,
He also noted that all sodded areas should be irrigated and that the plan
indicate sodding along the east property line of the site as well. Commissioner
Theis and Chairman Pierce both suggested that the fence be extended to the
east property line.
8 -30 -79 -4-
In response to Chairman Pierce, the Superintendent of Engineering stated that
the ponding area in front of the Cass Screw plant has no real function and
X " should be modified on the site plan.
ACTION RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL MAKE CERTAIN FINDINGS REGARDING
OUTLOTS 1 THROUGH 7, RYAN LAKE TERRACE ADDITION
Motion by Commissioner Erickson seconded by Commissioner Hawes to recommend
that the City Council make the following findings concerning Outlots 1 through
7 of Ryan Lake Terrace Addition:
1. That the Rl zoning of Outlots 1 through 7, Ryan Lake Terrace
Addition is unintentional.
2. That the intent of the Outlots is to limit, or prevent,
access from the industrially zoned property onto 47th Avenue
North.
3. That for setback purposes, the Outlots should be considered
to be what they would be used for under normal circumstances,
namely, public right -of -way.
Voting in favor: Chairman Pierce, Commissioners Malecki, Theis, Hawes, Manson,
Lucht and Erickson. Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously.
ACTION RECOMMENDING DENIAL OF APPLICATION NO. 79053
Motion by Commissioner Erickson seconded by Commissioner Manson to recommend
denial of Application No. 79053, a request for a variance from Section 35 -413
regarding buffer requirements on the grounds that the Standards for a Variance
contained in the Zoning Ordinance are not met. Voting in favor: Chairman
Pierce, Commissioners Malecki, Theis, Hawes, Manson, Lucht and Erickson.
Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously.
ACTION RECOMMENDING ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE REGARDING SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS IN
I -1 AND I -2 DISTRICTS
Commissioner Hawes inquired whether the setback requirement. for parking lots
should be included in the ordinance amendment. Chairman Pierce stated that he
considered that the setback for parking lots should be at least 15 feet where
industrial uses abut multiple- residential uses (R4 through R7). - Motion by
Commissioner Manson seconded by Commissioner Malecki to recommend adoption of
an Ordinance Amending Chapter 35 Regarding Special Requirements in I -1 and I -2
Districts with an amendment to the draft version submitted to the Planning
Commission, including a requirement of A 15 foot setba for parking lots
serving industrial uses which abut multiple residential uses (R4 through R7)
at a property line. Voting in favor: Chairman Pierce, Commi ssigners Malecki,
Hawes, Manson, Lucht and Erickson. Voting against: Commissioner Theis. The
motion passed. Commissioner Theis stated that he opposed the amendment as
presently written because a 25 foot setback from street right -of -way might
not be an adequate buffer in some cases.
ACTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO. 79052 (Cass Screw Company)
Motion by Commissioner Erickson seconded by Commissioner Malecki to recommend
approval of Application No. 79052 submitted by Cass Screw for site and building
plan approval subject to the following conditions:

RE: Purchase of fill materials for Central Park Grading Project
Park Construction Company has entered into contract with MNDOT for construction
of an I -94 segment in Minneapolis between 21st and 40th Avenues. This contract
includes the excavation and disposition of a massive quantity of excess fill
material. I%ZEM has specified that a portion of this material be used to con -
struct the new rarrp from T.H. 100 to I -694. The balance of the material belongs
to the contractor - -to be disposed of at his choice.
The City needs approximately 50,000 cubic yards of fill materials to complete
the grading of Central Park. After discussions with Park Construction, they
have submitted the attached proposal wherein they propose to deliver fill
materials to the site for the following prices:
Commnfill material . . . . $0.75 /cu.yd.
Granular material . . . . . $1.25 /cu.yd.
It is my opinion that these prices are extremely favorable to the City. In
fact, they approximately represent the costs of hauling only. I do not believe
it is possible to obtain this type of material at a lower price from any other
source.
Discussion of this matter with the City Attorney, however, indicates that since
the total cost involved will be approximately $45,000, we should advertise for
formal bids for these materials. Accordingly, we recommend a two -step approach, i.e.:
1. Purchase up to $10,000 worth of materials on the basis of the informal
quotation
2. Advertise for bids for the balance of the materials needed.
Park Construction has agreed to honor the unit prices quoted for the first phase.
Their bid prices for the second phase may come in somewhat highex, because of the
additional costs involved in processing fomol bids, i.e., and insurance
formalities, preparation of bids and. contracts, etc. However, I would hope that
they will elect to submit their formal bid at approximately the same unit price.
Attached, for City Council consideration, is a resolution authorizing the first -
step purchase, based on the informal quotation. Adoption of a ration to authorize
the Administration to take formal bids for the remainder of the fill materials
needed is also requested.

FROM THE OFFICE
OF THE CITY MANAGER
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
Subject: Brooklane Park Building
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:
At the last City Council meeting representatives of the Brooklane Park
neighborhood appeared on Open Forum requesting the City Council to consider
a permanent building or a temporary building pending construction of a
permanent building be considered as a replacement for the currently condemned
building in the park. The Council instructed the City staff to review the
feasibility of a permanent structure to replace the currently condemned
structure.
The Park Department and other members of the City staff have researched the
permanent building prospects and also the potential of a temporary or an interim
shelter for the park this winter. To rush into the construction of a building
and construct it out of the most available materials would potentially eliminate
the time usually taken in selecting the design and materials for a long lasting
and permanent low maintenance type park structure. My personal opinion, at this
time, is to run out and build something based on what can be built the quickest
is not the best long term solution to the problem. We are investigating and have
two or three alternate sources for temporary structures which would be adequate
for this winter, thus, allowing us time to do what I consider to be an adequate
design study for a permanent building. We are also examining alternative permanent
structures. With this in mind Gene Hagel has set up a meeting with the interested
people from the neighborhood at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, September 11, to discuss the
various alternatives with representatives of the neighborhood. After that meeting
the staff would then bring the conclusions and recommendations of the staff and
interested neighborhood people to the Council for their consideration. By the
time we have the meeting with the neighborhood people we will have greater detailed
estimates on costs of various temporary and permanent alternatives. When we present
it formally to the City Council we will have those detailed estimates plus the input
of the neighborhood to assist you in making your decision.

RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CAA FOR
SUBURBAN AND RURAL HENNEPIN COUNTY
WHEREAS, the question of whether there is a need for a CAA to
serve suburban and rural Hennepin County, and what organizational form
is most appropriate if a CAA should be established, has been under study
for the past year; and
WHEREAS, this review has indicated that the County's lower income
citizens will benefit from the establishment of a CAA that can build on
and complement the activities of the existing Human Services Council; and
WHEREAS, a task force representing the three Human Services Councils
has developed an organizational model designated the "Linkage Model ", which
will enable a CAA to be organized while retaining the Human Services Councils
and making the fullest use of their existing planning, management and service
capabilities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center does hereby urge the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners
to accept the recommendations of the task force and establish a CAA for

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager'
FR Brad Hoffman, Administrative Assistant �
DATE: September 7, 1979
SUBJECT: Brooklyn Center Housing Rehabilitation Grant Selection Criteria
On February 26 of this year, the City Council passed Resolution No. 79 - which
authorized the submission of a community development block grant program to
Hennepin County for consideration as part of the Urban Hennepin County community
.development block grant application. Part of that submission was an appropriation
of approximately $80,000 to be used in a local housing rehabilitation grant pro -
gram. Since that time, Brooklyn Center's rehab grant program has been approved
by the Department of Housing and Development.
The Brooklyn Center Housing Commission as well as the Citizens Advisory Group
for community development has been reviewing criteria for the selection of grant
applicants. It should be noted that Brooklyn Center is limited in the develop-
ment of a local rehab grant program only to the extent that they are required
to use Section 8 income guidelines. As of August 1, 1979, the guidelines are as
follows:
Family Size Income Limit
1 $11,750
2 13,450
3 15,000
4 16,800
5 17,850
6 18,900
7 19,950
8 or more 21,000
These incomes represent maximum incomes that can be considered for grants under
the Brooklyn Center program.
As part of the development of the grant review criteria, the Housing Commission
thoroughly studied the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency Home Improvement Grant
Program as it affects Brooklyn Center. It was quite evident to the Housing
Commission that the MHFA Grant Program was too narrowly targeted to have an
appreciable impact upon the City's housing stock. With a maximum income limit of
$5,000 under the MHFA Program, it was a common experience that applicants needing
grant assistance for priority projects were not eligible because of the rigid
$5,000 limit. It became apparent that while income was a measure of an applicant's
ability to contribute towards the maintenance and rehabilitation of his /her own
home, it was not the only criteria that should be used in making a determination
of eligibility.
The Housing Commission in developing grant selection criteria had two (2) objec
tives. First, to develop criteria that would attempt to measure or provide some
equity in determining an individuals ability to financially contribute to the
rehabilitation of his or'her own home. It was felt that this could be accomplished
by considering income as well as the number of individuals within the household,
mortgage commitments, outstanding medical commitments and other items that may
Gerald G. Splinter -2- September 7, 1979
be unique to individual cases. A thirty (30).point system was developed in an
effort to provide some flexibility in determining an applicant's financial
status relative to a grant application. The second objective was to recognize
the City's interest in maintaining its housing stock. It was the unanimous
agreement amongst the members of both the Housing Commission and the Citizens
Advisory Group for community development that rehab grant money should, to the
largest extent possible, be targeted to specific areas of the City to help to
eliminate the development of blighted areas and slums. As a result of that
objective, a number of selection criteria were developed on a point system dealing
with the age of the house, the nature of the work, the median age of the neigh-
borhood and the specification of target areas. In essence, the two groups concurred
that the application process should be a two step process. First, the applicants
would be determined to be financially eligible to receive a grant under the rehab
grant program. Second, all applications that had been determined to be income
eligible would then be ranked according to the criteria that had been developed
to target monies to specific areas within the City to eliminate blight and slums.
It is proposed that the housing rehabilitation grant program for Brooklyn Center
be run identically to the MHFA Housing Improvement Grant Program with the excep-
tion of the selection criteria. The criteria proposed is attached for your
review. I would note that the criteria before the Council would significantly
increase the number of individuals in Brooklyn Center that would be eligible for
a grant. It is my belief that this is to the advantage of the City of Brooklyn
Center because it would give the City greater latitude in the selection of grant
applicants and in the targeting of rehab monies to desired areas of the City.
Under the MHFA Rehab Grant Program, the recipient of a grant enters into an agree-
ment with the agency for the repayment of the grant in the event that the property
is sold, transferred or otherwise conveyed or ceases to be the recipient's
principal place of residence within seven (7) years from the date which the grant
application was approved. During that seven (7) year period, the amount that
must be repaid is reduced according to a developed schedule. The repayment agree-
ment has caused some problems with the MHFA Grant Program in the past. In cases
where an individual holds a contract for deed on a parcel, it would be required
that they also sign the repayment agreement. It has been our experience that
individuals holding contracts for deed are quite often not willing to sign the
repayment agreement meaning the grant cannot be given to the owner applicant. It
has been our experience that these homes have not been sold after the owner has
received a grant which would have created a windfall profit for them. Consid-
eration must be given as to whether or not we desire to retain the repayment
agreement under the Brooklyn Center grant program. If a repayment agreement is
_maintained, it should be noted that a 'significant number of older homes in
Brooklyn Center do have contract for deed liens against them and, in essence,
most of them would be ineligible to receive a grant. If we do not require a
repayment agreement, it would be possible for an individual to rehab their home,
sell it and thus receive the benefits of that grant in a monetary sense. At the
same time the City's objective of upgrading and maintaining its housing stock
has still been accomplished. It is my recommendation that we do not include a
repayment clause in Brooklyn Center's grant program. However, we should closely
monitor those homes receiving grants to assure that such abuses do not occur at
untolerable levels. If we determine that the nonrepayment of grants is a problem
(homes are sold within a short duration) then the Council would want to amend
the guidelines. All criteria under this program would be subject to future
modification by the Council.

leanet R. FORE of Fore Accounting, 1819 Lowry' North, Minneapolis, Minne-
P ,
sota, 55411, 529 - 5201. Ms. FORE advised Investigator MONTEEN that none of
these forms had been filed in the past nor was she aware that any of these
forms were required of Twin Lake Alano Society. Ms. FORE did check with the
State of Minnesota, Department of Commerce, Charitable Organizations Section,
and returned a call to Investigator MONTEEN advising that it was now her under -
standing that unless the Society raised money in excess of $10,000 from
sources outside its own membership, it was not necessary to file the Charitable
Organizations Annual Report for the Statement of Bingo Operations. She fur -
thermore, advised that she had checked with the Twin Lake Alano Society and
found that the bingo operation there is limited to the membership of the or-
ganization and not publicly advertised as open bingo and, although, persons
do occasionally attend as guests of members of the organization, the finances
gained from the bingo operation are basically from the members of the organi-
a i. o
z t n and they are, therefore, exempt from the filing of these reports.
Ms. FORE advised that Twin Lake Alano Society is checking with their attorney
on this matter and will have'a clarification. Should the forms be required,
of the Twin Lake Alano Society, they will be filed with the State of Minne-
sota and copies of such provided to the Brooklyn Center Police Department
after they are filed.
Investigator MONTEEN did run a criminal history and driving records check on
the executive officer in application for the bingo license, Jeanette Mary
0 ESTLAND, and found no criminal history, NCIC, MINCIS, Hennepin County and
rooklyn Center and nothing which would preclude her from making application
for this license in any other checks. Furthermore, MONTEEN made inquiries
of.NCIC, MINCIS, Hennepin County and Brooklyn Center records as well as a
driving records check with the State of Minnesota on Leonard Francis BESNETT
and found nothing there that would preclude BESNETT from being the Bingo Man-
ager of the organization. Moreover, BESNETT has been a resident of the City
of Brooklyn Center, specifically at 7229 Fremont.Avenue North, for the past
26 years and is employed by Mr. FINK at Form Products, Inc. at 7521 Commerce
Lane N.E. in Fridley, Minnesota.
In checking with Mr. FINK, MONTEEN found that Mr. BESNETT is considered to
be a model employee with an excellent working record. They have had no
problems with tardiness and Mr. BESNETT has been in a position to handle
money for the company as well as having borrowed money from the company
through a company loan policy which Mr. FINK advised MONTEEN that Mr.
BASNETT has always been prompt and cofplete in making his payments to the
company. Mr. FINK could see no reason why Mr. BESNETT would not be ex-
cellent candidate as the financial manager of the bingo operation for the
Twin Lake Alano Society.
This application is made for a Bingo License and contained within the
application for a Bingo License is a letter addressed to the members of
the City Council requesting that the bond for a Bingo License, in particular,
Resume by Investigator A. Paul MONTEEN Case File #79- 12560 Page 3
e waived as the Twin Lake lano Society carries a Fidelity Bond covering
e e ty y g
all individuals in financial responsible positions. Therefore, the City
Council has two items on which to act:
(1) The application for a Bingo License which re-
quires the majority vote of the City Council
for passage.
(2) The waiver of the Fidelity Bond which requires
the unanimous vote of the City Council for
passage.
This concludes the resume of the investigation of the Twin Lake Alano Soc-
iety in application for a Bingo License.

Cross of Glory Lutheran Church is a congregation of approximately 2,500 bap-
tized or confirmed members, organized under the auspices of the American Luth-
eran Church. Cross of Glory Lutheran Church was organized and dedicated in
1957 and has maintained a building located at the address 5940 Ewing Avenue
North in Brooklyn Center, Hennepin County, Minnesota, since that time. Accord-
ing to Eilert PEDERSON, treasure = of Cross of Glory Luthern church, the church
is a bonifide affiliate of the National Organization, the American Luthern
Church, and operates as a tax exempt organization having a tax exempt number
issued by the Internal Revenue Service (41- 0836935).
Bonifide religious organizations are in fact exempt for filing the 990 or 990T
and /or any other federal tax statememts according to the Department of Treas-
ury, Internal Revenue Service. Likewise, bodnfide religious organizations are
exempt from filing the report of charitable organizations with the Department
of Commerce, State of Minnesota.
Elaine Esther MERILA is named in the application as the gambling manager.
Elaine MERILA and her husband, James R. MERILA have been residents of the City
of Brooklyn Center during the past 10 years and previous to that time, and
have maintained a residence at 4019 -58th Avenue North. Elaine MERILA has been
a* substitute teacher in the Osseo, Robbinsdale, and Brooklyn Center School
District during the past 10 years as well. A criminal history check indicates
that Elaine MERILA is clear with the NCIC and MINCIS records as well as Henne
n County warrant office. A driving record check and check of the Brooklyn
der Police Department records would indicate nothing which would preclude
'Elaine Esther MERILA from functioning as the gambling manager for the Cross of
Glory Lutheran Church. Included with the application for a Class A gambling
license for the Cross of Glory Lutheran Church is a letter from Elaine MERILA
requesting a'waiver of a $10,000 Fidelity Bond.

Investigator MONTEEN can find nothing which would preclude the Cross of
ory Lutheran Church, Elaine Esther MERILA, gambling manager, from receiv-
g a gambling license, Class A as issued by the City of Brooklyn Center,
ennepin County, Minnesota. Moreover, there is nothing which would indicate
tha t a 10 000 Fide B r f Elaine Es

Esther
the City Council must then act on two matters, that being the application for
a Class A gambling license which requires the majority vote of the City Council
to pass. As well as the waiver of a $10,000 Fidelity Bond, this requires the
unanimous vote of the City Council pass.
