TO REPLAT THREE CONTIGUOUS PARCELS LOCATED AT 6000
BROOKLYN BOULEVARD
Mr. Boganey introduced the item noting it had been tabled at the last meeting pending resolution
of several outstanding issues.
Planning and Zoning Specialist Tim Benetti provided an overview of Planning Commission
Application No. 2011 -019 submitted by T J Weber Properties requesting a preliminary plat
approval to replat three contiguous parcels located at 6000 Brooklyn Boulevard. He explained
this item was tabled at the last meetin g after discussion of the precarious location of the
southwest corner driveway and conflicting traffic movements. He displayed a site plan of the
reconfigured parking on the west side of the building that will involve the removal of part of the
bituminous driveway leading to the street, installation of a curb and gutter section, and
landscaping. Mr. Benetti described the delineation of a new sidewalk easement that will occur as
part of the platting process and encompass the City's sidewalk area. In lieu, the City will remove
the apron, reconstruct the sidewalk area, and make repairs to the handicapped accessibility ramps
that are currently inadequate by today's ADA standards. He indicated that Mr. Weber will block
the southwest driveway to restrict access and after the City's work on the apron and sidewalks,
the barrier will be removed and sodding and landscaping will take place. Mr. Benetti noted the
addition of Conditions 5 and 6 that addresses these two issues.
Mayor Willson thanked staff for negotiating this resolution and stated he is glad Mr. Weber was
amenable to working with the City to resolve safety concerns with the intersection through the
replatting process.

FOR 904 53 AVENUE NORTH
Assistant City Manager/Director of Building and Community Standards Vickie Schleuning
advised that 904 53` Avenue North was inspected and 17 property code violations were cited
and ultimately corrected. There have been 2 validated police incidents /nuisance calls within the
last 12 months. This property qualifies for a Type IV six -month provisional rental license based
on the number of property code violations found during the initial rental license inspection. The
property owner is also required to submit a mitigation plan and report monthly on the progress of
that plan. Ms. Schleuning reviewed actions taken in regard to this rental license application and
indicated Staff has reviewed that mitigation plan and held discussion with the property owner
and recommends approval based on meeting standards in the mitigation plan.
Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Lasman seconded to open the hearing.
Motion passed unanimously.
Moshe Vorotinov, representing the property owner, explained the violations occurred during the
time of the previous renter and after the second police call was made, they reviewed the
violations and evicted the renter. Mr. Vorotinov explained they were behind on maintenance and
the City's letters were received during Jewish High Holidays so they couldn't respond on time.
Mr. Vorotinov stated they have submitted the mitigation plan and during the last inspection in
July, the City inspector had mentioned they passed the inspection so it had been their .

understanding that they could rent it out. But, they received a letter of citation. Mr. Vorotinov
indicated they now have a new renter who has passed all criminal background requirements.
Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Kleven seconded to close the hearing.
Motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Boganey informed the applicant that consideration is for a six -month license and if
approved, it will expire in January since the last license expired in July. The applicant will need
to submit a new application prior to the January expiration date.
Mr. Vorotinov noted he is unable to attend the two required ARM meetings since they are not
offered before the date of expiration. He asked if the license term could be extended to seven
months. Mr. Boganey advised the ordinance does not provide for that option.
Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to approve the issuance of a
Type IV six -month provisional rental license and mitigation plan for 904 53` Avenue North,
with the requirement that the mitigation plan must be strictly adhered to before a renewal rental
license would be considered.
Motion passed unanimously.
10c. CONSIDERATION OF TYPE IV 6 -MONTH PROVISIONAL RENTAL LICENSE
FOR 6937 UNITY AVENUE NORTH
Ms. Schleuning advised that the owner of 6937 Unity Avenue North has applied for a renewal
rental license. This property qualifies for a Type IV provisional rental license based on 8
property code violations that were cited and 2 validated police incidents /nuisance calls within the
last 12 months. The property owner is also required to submit a mitigation plan and report
monthly on the progress of that plan. Ms. Schleuning reviewed actions taken in regard to this
rental license application and indicated Staff has reviewed that mitigation plan and held
discussion with the property owner and recommends approval based on meeting standards in the

10d. CONSIDERATION OF TYPE III ONE -YEAR RENTAL LICENSE FOR
STERLING SQUARE, 6640 -6700 HUMBOLDT AVENUE NORTH AND 1400 -01
67 AVENUE NORTH
Ms. Schleuning advised the owner of 1400 -01 67` Avenue North is making application for a
renewal rental license. The property would qualify for a Type I License; however, the owner
failed to meet the condition of the Type III license Action Plan, specifically failure to complete
the Crime Free Housing Program Phase I certificate and Phase II required security improvement
assessment and follow up inspection. According to City ordinances, if the requirements of the
license category and Action Plan are not met, the license renewal category remains a Type III.
Ms. Schleuning reviewed actions taken in regard to this rental license application and indicated

time, recommends approval of a continued Type III license in lieu of suspension or revocation
since progress has been made and the number of police calls reduced.
