Also present: City Manager Curt Boganey, Fiscal and Support Services Director Dan Jordet, Public Works Director /City Engineer Steve Lillehaug, and Deputy City Clerk Maria Rosenbaum. Others present were Financial Commissioners Steve Landis, Dean Van Der Werf, Anissa Hollingshead (arrived at 6:35 p.m.), Dan Schueller (arrived at 6:41 p.m.), and Teneshia Plunkett (arrived at 6:58 p.m.). UTILITY FUNDS AND RATES City Manager Curt Boganey discussed that tonight's meeting was to develop a consensus and provide direction to staff regarding the proposed utility budget and rates. New information was provided with regards to the changes from the 2011 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to the proposed 2012 CIP and the changes were outlined for years 2012 through 2016. City Manager Boganey informed that the Recycling Fund has no rate increase proposed for 2012 and that $8.43 per quarter is being recommended for continuation through 2012. Public Works Director /City Engineer Steve Lillehaug outlined the Sanitary Sewer, Storm Drainage, Street Light, and Water Utility Funds. During this discussion it was noted that new pressures are creating the significant change to the utility funds because of new projects and updated project costs. These changes increased the 2012 CIP to a total of $4,576,500 with a breakdown as follows: Water $2,285,500; Sanitary $1,279,000; Storm $392,000; and Streetlight $620,000. The proposed rate impacts for these utility funds in 2012 areas follows: Sanitary Sewer 3.0 percent increase to $22.59 monthly residential rate, a $ 0.66 per month increase; Storm Drainage no increase at this time, remaining at $4.83 per month per dwelling; and Street Light a 25.26 percent increase to a $4.95 quarterly rate per dwelling, a $1.00 per quarter increase. The Water Utility Fund was • discussed in more detail. Two scenarios were provided. 10/17/11 -1- DRAFT The first was continuation of the normal schedule with a rate increase of 3.5 percent resulting in a . rate of $1.45 per 1,000 gallons. The second was an alternate schedule for an 8.0 percent increase to a rate of $1.51 per 1,000 gallons in order to generate more cash for Capital Improvements. There was discussion regarding whether or not this would be the time to borrow or bond money and consensus was to have scenarios prepared and brought back for direction as to whether or not this would be a direction to consider before adopting the utility rates. MEETING TO CONSIDER FUNDING FOR STREET RECONSTRUCTION AND BUILDING MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS City Manager Boganey informed that he would like to schedule an additional meeting to consider funding for Street Reconstruction and Building Maintenance Programs since there is a substantial gap remaining and final consensus on direction is needed. After discussing dates, there was consensus that a meeting would be scheduled for November 21, at 6:30 p.m. ADJOURNMENT Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to adjourn the Work Session at 7:49 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. • 10/17/11 -2- DRAFT • MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA STUDY SESSION OCTOBER 24, 2011 CITY HALL — COUNCIL CHAMBERS CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center City Council met in Study Session called to order by Mayor Tim Willson at 6:00 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor Tim Willson and Councilmembers Carol Kleven, Kay Lasman, and Dan Ryan. Also present were City Manager Curt Boganey, Director of Fiscal and Support Services Dan Jordet, Public Works Director /City Engineer Steve Lillehaug, Director of Business and Development Gary Eitel, Assistant City Manager /Director of Building and Community Standards Vickie Schleuning, City Clerk Sharon Knutson, City Attorney Charlie LeFevere, and Carla Wirth, Timesaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc. CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS Councilmember Ran requested discussion on Item 6d An Ordinance Amending Chapter 1 of Y q � g P the City Code of Ordinances Relating to Commercial Kennel Licenses and Potentially Dangerous and Dangerous Dog Registrations, specifically relating to whether language referencing kennel licenses should be eliminated since the City no longer issues kennel licenses. Mayor Willson noted kennel licenses are referenced in the title and Section 1, which alerts the reader there are regulations. Councilmember Lasman clarified that commercial kennel licenses are still issued for uses like veterinarians. Mayor Willson requested the following correction to the Work Session minutes of October 10, 2011: Page 2, paragraph prior to adjournment: "...consensus was reached to not move forward with driveway repair standards." It was the majority consensus of the City Council to accept the correction to the October 10, 2011, Work Session minutes. MISCELLANEOUS 10/24/11 -1- DRAFT Councilmember Kleven stated Wings Financial has removed the concrete steps and it looks • wonderful. Councilmember Kleven asked for an update on placement of bicycle racks. Public Works Director /City Engineer Steve Lillehaug explained the bicycle racks from Minneapolis have not yet been received and placed so they will be installed next year. He indicated that some bicycle racks were put into the park as part of another project. Councilmember Lasman suggested staff be asked to prepare a resolution of appreciation for Centennial Celebration Committee members. The City Council supported this suggestion and directed staff to prepare the resolution for the City Council's adoption. DISCUSSION OF WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEMS AS TIME PERMITS GARBAGE HAULER ORGANIZED COLLECTION UPDATE Mr. Lillehaug provided a brief overview of organized garbage collection, noting the City Council had discussed this topic at its November, 2010, Work Session and asked staff to evaluate potential cost impacts /savings. He presented examples of garbage hauler service rates, noting that most studies and Y comparisons show an organized system's rates are less; however, it is p g difficult to obtain accurate comparisons of what Brooklyn Center would experience. Mr. Lillehaug noted the City of Maplewood looked at a city -wide savings of $500,000 assuming 9,000 households at a savings of $55 per household. Mayor Willson asked if staff time was factored into the savings. Mr. Lillehaug stated he has not Y g g analyzed costs for staff time but would estimate a one - quarter position at $25,000. Councilmember Lasman stated her impression that the current Brooklyn Center rates were lower than with an organized system. Mr. Lillehaug stated it is correct that some Brooklyn Center rates are lower than the averaged rates of organized systems. However, a larger study would be required to confirm that to be the case. He noted the City of Brooklyn Park did such a study and determined there were potential savings of 10 -30 %. City Manager Curt Boganey stated he has worked in cities with organized collection and found it would be difficult to have organized collection without lower rates, on average, because it costs less to deliver the service due to increased volume per block. With regard to staff costs, Mr. Boganey explained that once the system is organized and contracts signed, the ongoing administrative costs would be relatively insignificant as long as there is a good provider. However, if there is not a good provider, staff would receive and have to respond to many telephone calls of complaint. Mr. Lillehaug agreed the average rate would be lower with an organized system; however, some haulers offer special low rates for six months so it may be difficult to get an organized system lower than what the average resident is currently paying. 10/24/11 -2- DRAFT Mr. Lillehaug presented an analysis of infrastructure impact costs, estimating organized hauling S would result in an 8% reduction in total daily trucks trips, which would result in little if any cost savings in most original pavement designs but noted there may be a minor decrease in maintenance at the end of the roadway life. Mr. Lillehaug advised that Brooklyn Park decided, in September of 2011, to no longer pursue an organized system due to apparent lack of public support. Maplewood, in October of 2011, issued RFPs for a single organized provider for implementation in October of 2012 and is projecting a $500,000 rate savings. The primary advantages of an organized system are lower prices, reduced truck traffic, and community control over waste management decisions. The primary disadvantage is the inability for people to choose their own hauler. Mr. Lillehaug asked the City Council if it supported pursuing organization of a garbage collection system within Brooklyn Center. Mayor Willson referenced a conversation with the Brooklyn Park Mayor Pro tem who indicated a core group of residents had supported organized collection but once the public became aware, they attended meetings to voice objection. Mr. Boganey stated that typically happens when haulers campaign against organized collection. Councilmember Kleven thanked staff for the informative and thorough report, noting Brooklyn Park did extensive research and its demographics are the same as Brooklyn Center's. She stated she understands people like the ability to choose their garbage hauler and does not support • organized collection. Mayor Willson stated he does not support organized collection. Councilmember Ryan noted haulers send notices of rate specials so the amount saved is dependent on the customer's ability to shop for a competitive rate. He indicated his concern relates to up -front costs, resident pushback, negative reaction, and potential of staff time if there are problems with the hauler. He stated staff has indicated road infrastructure impacts from garbage trucks are not that severe. Councilmember Ryan indicated he does not support organized collection, noting the City can observe efforts of Maplewood and revisit the issue in the future, if desired. Councilmember Lasman stated she does not support changing what the City has and is glad to see road impacts are not significant when factoring in all truck traffic. She felt the City Council made enough decisions for its residents and as long as the current system is working well, residents have the opportunity to pick and choose haulers and can change companies if they are not happy with the service. Councilmember Kleven asked whether the City could determine to not license additional haulers beyond the current nine companies. Mayor Willson explained a moratorium would be required to change the ordinance and such an action would throttle free enterprise. • 10/24/11 -3- DRAFT Mayor Willson indicated the staff study contained excellent data and was very well done. He apologized for the staff time spent on this endeavor when there is a clear consensus by the City Council to not move forward. The unanimous consensus of the City Council was to not pursue an organization of garbage collection system within Brooklyn Center. SHINGLE CREEK TOWERS APARTMENTS Mr. Boganey introduced the item and explained that Shingle Creek Towers Apartments had been auctioned several months ago but the Federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) ultimately rejected the successful bidder and decided to hold a new auction. The City was notified that the October 20, 2011, HUD foreclosure sale of Shingle Creek Towers Apartment located at 6221 Shingle Creek Parkway has been rescheduled to November 10, 2011. HUD has decided to restrict the eligible bidders to include only nonprofit organizations and government agencies. Director of Business and Development Gary Eitel presented two aerial photos of the subject property, noting it is adjacent to the City Hall parking lot/Centennial Park. He described the 122 -unit apartment building, noting it is centrally located to services, retail, and transportation. Mr. Eitel advised that the NSP account has about $1 million that would be eligible should the City Council choose to pursue purchase. ADJOURN STUDY SESSION TO INFORMAL OPEN FORUM WITH CITY COUNCIL • Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the Study Session at 6:45 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. RECONVENE STUDY SESSION Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to reconvene the Study Session at 6:48 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. SHINGLE CREEK TOWERS APARTMENTS — CONTINUED Mr. Eitel asked whether the City Council has any interest in the EDA pursuing acquisition of the property, making improvements, and then conveying the property. Mr. Boganey stated, based on Hennepin County feedback, if the EDA chooses not to act there will probably be nonprofit bidders that meet all specifications established by HUD in terms of how property will continue to be operated. Shingle Creek Towers Apartments would continue as affordable housing for families. Mr. Boganey stated he thinks the only reason the EDA might • 10/24/11 -4- DRAFT have an interest in being engaged in the process is if it felt a conversion from family to seniors, over time, would be an appropriate action to take. The City Council discussed the condition of the building, noting it had been remodeled in 2003 but remained an aging structure with small sized units, community room, and laundry. In addition, only a few apartments were handicapped accessible so extensive remodeling would be required to accommodate senior housing. It was the unanimous consensus of the City Council to not pursue the purchase of Shingle Creek Towers Apartments. ADJOURNMENT Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the Study Session at 6:58 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. • 10/24/11 -5- DRAFT MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL • OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA REGULAR SESSION OCTOBER 24, 2011 CITY HALL — COUNCIL CHAMBERS 1.

Parkway Street Improvements, S.A.P. 109- 109 -033 Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council consider approval of the resolution requesting a variance from Standard for State Aid Operation for Project No. 2011 -06, Shingle Creek Parkway Street Improvements, S.A.P.'109- 109 -033. Background: The City and its consultant proceeded with routine plan preparation, approval, bidding and award for the Shingle Creek Parkway mill and overlay project in 2011. Obtaining Municipal State Aid (MSA) plan approval by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) for this project was necessary due to the use of MSA funding for this project. Minnesota Rule 8820.2800 requires the state -aid engineer to approve the plans prior to opening the bids. The bids were opened on April 14, 2011, the plans were approved by Mn/DOT on April 15, 2011; and the project was awarded on April 25, 2011. According to the rule, bids were opened one day prior to formal MSA plan approval, which is not allowed. In order to obtain the planned MSA funding for this project, a variance must be obtained due to the error. T staff that this rule than ears ago to the current changed several is understanding from Mn/DO g Y It y g requirements, which were previously not as stringent and only required that MSA approval occur prior to bid award. Many design professionals have not been and some are still not aware of this rule change. Although the rules have been in effect for several years, they may not have been enforced by Mn/DOT staff in the recent past as stringently until now. The City and its consultant proceeded with a very typical and routine plan approval schedule, unknowingly proceeding incorrectly with bid opening prior to MSA plan approval. There are no known negative effects or unintended consequences by any party in not adhering to this rule, other than not meeting this requirement. The only repercussion at this point is the need to obtain a variance from the State Aid Variance Committee for a variance to State Aid Operation Rule 8820.2800. Other cities have encountered this same issue in recent months, and it has generally been a housecleaning item to obtain the variance that is necessary to obtain the related MSA project funding. A resolution from the City requesting this variance is a requirement by MSA to proceed with obtaining the variance. The State Aid Variance Committee meeting is scheduled for December 22, 2011. Budget Issues: Without receiving this State Aid funding, the City would need to designate alternate funding for this project in the approximate amount of $745,000.

RESOLUTION REQUESTING A VARIANCE FROM STANDARD FOR STATE AID OPERATION FOR PROJECT NO. 2011-06, SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY STREET IMPROVEMENTS, S.A.P. 109 -109 -033 WHEREAS, the City of Brooklyn Center prepared plans for the Shingle Creek Parkway Street Improvements from Shingle Creek to Freeway Boulevard for bituminous milling and paving, concrete curb and gutter, and concrete sidewalk repairs, State Aid Project (S.A.P.) No. 109- 109-033; and WHEREAS, Minnesota Rules for State Aid Operation 8820.2800 Subpart 2.A requires that final plans must be approved by the state -aid engineer before opening bids to be eligible for state -aid construction funds (requirements); and WHEREAS, the reason for this variance request is that bids were opened one day prior to the final approval and signing of the plans by the state -aid engineer.

Background: At the end of each fiscal year the cash balance in the Earle Brown Heritage Center (EBHC) operating fund is subjected to an analysis according to a formula in the cash reserve policy for the facility. The formula requires that the EBHC operating fund hold in cash the equivalent of the monthly average amount of cash deposits held for events booked at the facility plus one and one half times the average of cash disbursements per month. At the end of 2010, the cash balance in the EBHC operating fund. was $ 987,228. The required cash reserve calculated using the formula was $ 795,544. The difference of $ 191,684 was available for transfer to the capital fund of the EBHC. Staff recommends rounding that number to $ 200,000 and making that transfer from the operating fund to the capital fund before the end of the 2011 fiscal year. The attached resolution authorizes such a transfer. The resulting cash flow for the capital fund as projected for the 2012 budget is attached to show the impact of such a transfer.

Background: This amendment to Chapter 1 of the City Code is a housekeeping amendment. Licenses for commercial kennels and registrations for potentially dangerous and dangerous dogs have an expiration date of September 30. However, the expiration date is not written in the City Code as are most other licenses in Chapter 23 of the City Code. The registration fee for potentially dangerous and dangerous dog registrations was set in 2004 by City Council resolution and included a provision that the registration fee shall not be prorated or refunded. Included in the ordinance amendment is language providing that the fee shall not be prorated or refunded. An applicant for a commercial kennel license or for a potentially dangerous or dangerous dog registration references the City Code for license or registration requirements and regulations. It would be beneficial to applicants to include in the City Code the expiration date for this type of license and registration, as well as the provision that fees are not prorated or refunded. This would eliminate an applicant having to search several resources to find all the requirements. It would also be helpful for City Staff for enforcement purposes. Budget Issues: There are no budget issues to consider. • .hfission.

Request: - Preliminary Plat of "Evergreen Villas" INTRODUCTION The applicant, Brett Hildreth, on behalf of the 720 Company LLC, is seeking Preliminary Plat approval to replat two existing parcels into two separate platted lots. The two properties are identified and located at 720 and 800 — 69 Avenue N. The north portion of this plat fronts onto 70 Avenue North, which includes a small segment of land to be dedicated for additional 70 Avenue right -of- -way. The applicant intends to separate out the existing (and to remain) single - family residence at 720 69 Avenue N., thereby creating a smaller sized lot of said property. The remaining portion of that parcel, mainly the rear area, and the entire larger parcel under 800 — Avenue N. will be platted into one large separate lot for future residential development. Mr. Hildreth does not have any concepts or plans developed on this remaining land area at this time, but may present a new residential development plan (and possible rezoning) sometime in the future. A public hearing has been scheduled and notices to surrounding property owners have been sent. ANALYSIS Prior to this re- platting process, the subject parcels on their own equal 0.88 acres and 2.34 acres, respectively. The new Lot 1 will consist of 121,870 sq. ft. of area, or 2.8 acres, while Lot 2 will contain 11,584 sq. ft., or 0.27 acres. This plat also provides for the dedication of a small northerly section of land of the larger lot into additional 70 Avenue right of way, consisting of 6,994 sq. ft. The property in question is zoned R -1 One Family Residence (see area Zoning Map illustration on next page), which allows only single - family (one - family) dwellings, along with typical residential accessory uses. Other uses such as churches, schools, golf courses, cemeteries or public owned facilities are allowed by special use permit. The subject site is surrounded on the south and west by R -1 zoned lands which contain typical, single family residences. The northwest portion abuts an R -3 Multiple Family Residence (townhouses /condos /garden apartments) zone, which is locally known as "Evergreen Estates" townhomes. The easterly Evergreen Villas - PP • Page 1 of 4 10 -27 -11 boundary abuts against a large R -4 Multiple Family Residence, which allows for 1.5 to 2 -story multiple family dwellings and /or apartments, and contains the 128 -unit "River Glen Apartments" development.

Rs„N__ �.� q 1 SF 0 AVE B SF I lNN IOAE S 3 I �., OS /RB III M�sslssippi Rive 6BTH�N M The subject property is guided under the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan as "SF - Single- Family." The surrounding properties zoned R3 and R4 are guided under the same 2030 Comp Plan as "Townhome (Medium Density)" and "Multi - Family (High Density)" respectively. Any future request to rezone the subject site to similar multiple - family residential would require a land use amendment to either one of these categories. Staff again states that Mr. Hildreth has not submitted any rezoning /land use amendment applicant at this time, nor has staff been made aware of any future development plans for this site. Should Mr. Hildreth choose to develop the larger Lot 1 with a typical single - family residential dwelling or other allowed (permitted) use under R1 Zone standards, he is free to develop as such, subject to submittal and approval of a building permit. The subject site (primarily 800 -69 Ave. ) has double frontage along 69 Avenue and 70 Avenue to the north. The existing driveway access into 720 — 69 Ave. will not be changed or relocated as part of this plat. No other access points or roadway sections are being planned or illustrated on this plat. Once Mr. Hildreth is ready to develop this site, a separate layout of lots (if re- platting is requested), along with access points, driveways, roads and easements, etc. would need to be designed and illustrated on any future site plan submittals. The properties when re- platted will be known as Evergreen Villas, which is keeping in line with the name of Evergreen Estates to the west. • Evergreen Villas - PP Page 2 of 4 10 -27 -11 Although the 720 — 69 Ave. residence will lose almost 2/3 of its previous land area due to this • platting, minimum lot standards for the R -1 Zone requires only 9,500 sq. ft. of area. The existing house that will remain on the lot, including the accessory structures, will meet all new setbacks created by this new plat. Sewer and water exists in both the 69 Avenue and 70Avenue right of ways. The home will remain connected to its own individual service lines, and future development of this site will need to tie into one or both of these utility areas in these two streets. The former house at 800 — 69 Avenue was removed in 2010 and service lines were disconnected. The preliminary plat is absent of any drainage and utility easements. City Engineering has made comments to this issue in their separate review memo and conditions have been incorporated as part of any approvals. There appears to be no drainage or grading plans submitted with this plat, as all physical conditions of the land will remain intact until such time when development takes place. As stated previously, city staff is. unaware of Mr. Hildreth's plans for redevelopment of this site, and is unable to provide any possible development scenarios or timelines. Staff assumes that once the housing (development) market rebounds, the city might expect a follow -up application from Mr. Hildreth or others on this site. For all intents and purposes, this is a fairly simple and standard plat request. The new lots . created will not, at his time impede any orderly growth of the neighborhood or cause any increased impact on local services. The Plat appears to meet all minimum requirements set forth under City Code Chapter 15 — Platting. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 2011 -13, which comprehends the approval of Planning Application No. 2011 -018, which proposes a Preliminary Plat for Evergreen Villas, subject to the following conditions and allowances: 1. The final plat shall be subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. 2. The final plat shall be subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City Ordinances. 3. Prior to final plat approval, all encroachments into or over proposed lot lines shall be removed and verified. 4. No building permits shall be issued for any new dwellings until the plat has been given final approval by the City Council and filed with Hennepin County. • Evergreen Villas - PP Page 3 of 4 10 -27 -11 • 5. An updated certified abstract of title or registered property report must be provided to the City Attorney and City Engineer for review at the time of the final plat application (within 30 days of release of the final plat). 6. The Applicant shall provide a 10 foot drainage and utility easement on all exterior lot lines. 7. The Applicant shall provide a 5 foot drainage and utility easement on all interior lot lines.' 8. Disconnect existing sewer and water services at the main on Lot 1, Block 1. 9. Cure swing set encroachment (move swing set to one side of the property line or the other, dependent on owner). 10. Dedicate 70 Avenue North as right -of -way including 2 -ft behind the existing sidewalk on the final plat. 11. Install a new sanitary sewer service to 720 - 69 Avenue that does not encroach on Lot 2 and remove the old service line. 12. The boundary and topographic survey must show the sanitary sewer an d water service and material for the existing house.

MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA REGULAR SESSION OCTOBER 27, 2011 CALL TO ORDER The Planning Commission meeting was called to order by Chair Pro Tern Kara Kuykendall at 7:05 p.m. ROLL CALL Chair Pro Tern Kara Kuykendall, Commissioners Rachel Morey, Michael Parks, and Stephen Schonning were present. Also present were Councilmember Carol Kleven, Secretary to the Planning Commission Tim Benetti, Director of Business and Development Gary Eitel, and Planning Commission Recording Secretary Rebecca Crass. Sean Rahn and Carlos Morgan, were absent and excused. Stan Leino was absent and unexcused. APPROVAL OF MINUTES — October 13, 2011 There was a motion by Commissioner Morey, seconded by Commissioner Parks, to approve the minutes of the October 13, 2011 meeting as submitted. The motion passed unanimously. CHAIR'S EXPLANATION Chair Pro Tern Kuykendall explained the Planning Commission's role as an advisory .body. One of the Commission's functions is to hold public hearings. In the matters concerned in these hearings, the Commission makes recommendations to the City Council. The City Council makes all final decisions in these matters. APPLICATION NO. 2011 -018 — BRETT HILDRETH (720 COMPANY LLC) Chair Pro Tern Kuykendall introduced Application No. 2011 -018 a request for Preliminary Plat approval of Evergreen Villas to replat two existing parcels into two (new) platted lots, located at ` 720 and 800 69 Avenue North. Mr. Benetti presented the staff report describing the location of the property and the proposal. He explained that the applicant intends to create a small sized lot for the existing residence at 720 69 Ave N and the remaining larger parcel will be identified as 800 69 Avenue N and used for future residential development, however, the applicant does not have any plans at this time for future development of the parcel. Mr. Benetti further explained that although 720 69 Avenue N will lose a large portion of land area, minimum lot standards and setbacks requirements will be met by the newly created parcel. PUBLIC HEARING — APPLICATION NO. 2011-018 There was a motion by Commissioner Morey, seconded by Commissioner Parks, to open the public hearing on Application No. 2011 -018, at 7:15 p.m. The motion passed unanimously. • Chair Pro Tern Kuykendall called for comments from the public. 10 -27 -11 Page 1 The applicant, Mr. Brett Hildreth, addressed the Commission and stated that he had not seen the • report before tonight and asked for some clarification on the report. He asked when the report had been finalized since he saw some surprises, specifically with the sewer lines. Mr. Benetti stated that the reports had been finalized last Friday and apologized if he had not received a copy. Mr. Benetti explained that Public Works informed him that the sewer line would not be allowed to run through another property but could possibly be accomplished with an easement. Mr. Hildreth also asked if the dedicated right of way along 70 Avenue along the sidewalk was standard. Mr. Benetti responded that it is standard procedure. Mr. Hildreth asked that since there were some issues to address with Engineering, would he be able to have the preliminary plat and final plat reviewed for approval by City Council at the same time. Mr. Eitel responded that the final plat is filed with Engineering, however, city ordinances require that a preliminary plat approval must precede the final plat process. Mr. Hildreth asked if moving the sanitary sewer could be done at a later date. Mr. Benetti stated that the he would work with the applicant and Engineering to resolve the issue of the sanitary sewer and would hope that they could achieve resolution with an easement. Commissioner Parks asked if the applicant had any idea regarding future plans for the larger lot. Mr. Hildreth explained how the lot would be laid out and demonstrated how the sewer sanitary • could be serviced to the new lot. He further explained that with the development market relatively distressed right now, he would hope that when the market rebounds, he would be able to create a single family development with some new housing, possibly three to five years down the road. Commissioner Parks asked if there were any old growth trees on the lot. Mr. Hildreth responded that there are trees that are approximately 10 to 20 years old. No other persons from the public appeared before the Commission during the public hearing on Application No. 2011 -018. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING There was a motion by Commissioner Morey, seconded by Commissioner Schonning, to close the public hearing on Application No. 2011 -018, at 7:31 p.m. The motion passed unanimously. The Chair Pro Tem called for further discussion or questions from the Commissioners. The Commissioners interposed no objections to approval of the Application. ACTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2011 -013 There was a motion by Commissioner Morey, seconded by Commissioner Parks, to approve Planning Commission Resolution No. 2011 -013. • 10 -27 -11 Page 2 . Voting in favor: Chair Pro Tem Kuykendall, Commissioners Morey, Parks, and Schonning. And the following voted against the same: None The motion passed unanimously. The Council will consider the application at its November 14, 2011 meeting. The applicant must be present. Major changes to the application as reviewed by the Planning Commission will require that the application be returned to the Commission for reconsideration. DISCUSSION ITEM: BROOKLYN BOULEVARD CORRIDOR STUDY Mr. Eitel stated that staff would like to initiate an open discussion with the Commission to identify key areas through the Brooklyn Boulevard corridor area, specifically the "Upper Region ". He added that although SRF has tentatively identified planning and design issues, staff would like to ensure that the Planning Commission remains an integral part of this study. A number of issues to be studied include land use, driveway and access connections, right of way design, sidewalk and trail connections, signage, streetscape, landscaping and similar enhancements, and a variety or other issues. Mr. Eitel explained some of the existing properties in the area of 65 and Brooklyn Boulevard that are currently zoned residential'and could be combined to create a commercial development. He then described the parcels on the west side of Brooklyn Boulevard that contain two commercial properties with an apartment complex behind it and Garden City Elementary on the east side of Brooklyn Boulevard. He further pointed out various residential properties along • Brooklyn Boulevard and pointed out each property's driveway is accessed. He further explained how the study will target problem areas like this one and propose resolutions to create better, safer access along Brooklyn Boulevard. OTHER BUSINESS: There was no other business. ADJOURNMENT There was a motion by Commissioner Morey, seconded by Commissioner Schonning, to adjourn the Planning Commission meeting. The motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 8:11 p.m. Chair Recorded and transcribed by: Rebecca Crass Recording Secretary 10 -27 -11 Page 3 City Council Agenda Item No. 10a 1 Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION SUMMARIZING THE EVALUATION OF THE CITY MANAGER WHEREAS, the City Manager is under an employment contract with the City of Brooklyn Center entitled CITY MANAGER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of September 25, 2006 ( "Employment Agreement "); and WHEREAS, Section 4 of the Employment Agreement provides for periodic evaluation of the City Manager's performance; and WHEREAS, the City Council conducted an evaluation of the performance of the City Manager at a special meeting, in closed session, on October 26, 2011; and WHEREAS, Minn. Stat. § 13D.05, Subd. 3 requires that when a public body closes a meeting to evaluate the performance of an individual subject to its authority, the public body shall, at its next open meeting, summarize its conclusions regarding the evaluation. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota: 1. The summary, of the conclusions of the City Council regarding the evaluation of the performance of the City Manager is as follows: The City Council evaluated the performance of City Manager Curt Boganey. The Council reviewed the manager's performance in the following categories: relations with the City Council; planning; organizational skills; budget and finance; community relations; personnel relations; management skills; leadership; and enforcement of the City Charter and City Code. The Council expects its manager to perform at a high level of competence in all of those areas, and it determined that Mr. Boganey has met or exceeded Council expectations in every category. November 14, 2011 Date Mayor ATTEST: City Clerk The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: and the following voted against the same: whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted. City Council Agenda Item No. 10b • COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM DATE: November 14, 2011 TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager FROM: Sharon Knutson, City Clerk SUBJECT: Rental License for 5807 Drew Avenue N Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council consider approval and the issuance of a Type I Rental License for 5807 Drew Avenue N. If the Council chooses not to issue the license, it is recommended that the motion be to direct staff to re are proposed findings for denial of the p P p P g rental license and draft said resolution for the next Council meeting. Background: The property would qualify for a Type I Rental License based on zero property code violations. noted on the recent property inspection and zero validated police nuisance calls reported for the i P p Y o p P P past year. However, the property owner failed to meet the condition of the Type IV rental license, specifically the required attendance at the Owners /Managers Association Meetings. The property owner received a Type IV Rental License on September 12, 2011 on condition of adherence to the mitigation plan and City Ordinances. City Ordinance Section 12 -901.2 requires a licensee of a Type IV Rental Property to complete Phase III of the Crime Free Housing Program. City Ordinance Section 12- 914.3.c requires an owner (or authorized representative) to attend a minimum of 50 percent of Owners/Managers Association Meetings. According to City ordinances, if the requirements of the license category and the mitigation plan are not met within the licensing period, the license renewal category remains a Type IV. There are some extenuating circumstances to consider in this case. As part of the previous Type IV rental license process, the property owner thought that he met the conditions of the Mitigation Plan and therefore would qualify for another property type. Specifically, he indicated on the Mitigation Plan that he would attend the second Association of Responsible Management meeting on November 10, 2011, ten days after the license expiration. Although the property owner received a letter indicating all the requirements, including the attendance of the ARM meeting must occur within the license period, the Mitigation Plan does not clearly state that the second date was not within the required time period. Since all other license conditions have been met and staff feels that this could have been more clearly indicated for the Council during the initial approval of the Type IV rental license and Mitigation Plan, staff is recommending approval of a Type I Rental License in lieu of a Type IV Rental License.
