INFORMAL OPEN FORUM WITH CITY COUNCIL CALL TO ORDER INFORMAL OPEN FORUM The Brooklyn Center City Council met in Informal Open Forum called to order by Mayor Tim Willson at 6:45 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor Tim Willson and Councilmembers Carol Kleven, Kris Lawrence-Anderson, Lin Myszkowski, and Dan Ryan. Also present were City Manager Curt Boganey, Public Works Director/City Engineer Steve Lillehaug, Director of Business and Development Gary Eitel, Planning and Zoning Specialist Tim Benetti, Assistant City Manager/Director of Building and Community Standards Vickie Schleuning, City Attorney Charlie LeFevere, and Carla Wirth, TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc. Mayor Tim Willson opened the meeting for the purpose of Informal Open Forum. Bernard Boussier, 6030 Xerxes Avenue North, stated he is representing Betty Dudley, 6510 Brooklyn Boulevard, who does not believe she should be charged a fine of$3,040 as she had complied with all that was asked and the citation was closed. He noted Ms. Dudley has provided a written request to the City Council as well as supporting documentation. City Manager Curt Boganey explained that this matter relates to an administrative fine and Hennepin County does not hold an appeal hearing on this sort of special assessment. City Attorney Charlie LeFevere advised that Hennepin County does not look at this type of assessment (administrative fine) independently. But, if the City Council concludes that something was done in error, unfair, or illegally, the City can reopen that assessment and ask Hennepin County to remove that cost. Ms. Dudley stated that she had complied with the citation order yet $1,085 was placed on her 2012 taxes and another $3,332 was applied in 2013. She described the items she felt were incorrectly cited, noted her outdoor furniture was placed on a ground deck, and asked the City Council to direct the City Assessor to remove these fees from her property taxes. Mr. Boganey stated staff will determine the facts, whether proper notice had been given, and if the fine should be applied. 05/13/13 -1- After consultation with Messrs. Boganey and LeFevere, the City Council determined to entertain comment from Jeremy and Tracy Mickelson, 4300 65th Avenue North, relating to the Work Session agenda item. Jeremy Mickelson, 4300 65th Avenue North, submitted pictures of vehicles parked in other residential areas that do not comply with the City's ordinance. He stated Inspector Eric Sonnenberg had indicated there were no other cases similar to his on the books and asked why his truck is being targeted. Mayor Willson asked staff to forward the pictures to Code Enforcement. Tracy Mickelson, 4300 65th Avenue North, stated the point is that there are many successful commercial businesses in Brooklyn Center, which is a good thing for the City. She asked why the City's ordinance lumps their type of truck with farm equipment and other vehicles that are not of a professional nature that could be an eyesore to the community. Ms. Mickelson asked that the ordinance be reconsidered to allow vehicles that are slightly over the height and weight limit but are not unsightly to be parked in a residential neighborhood. Mayor Willson closed the Informal Open Forum at 7:00 p.m. 2. INVOCATION Rev. Steven Nyl of St. Alphonsus Church offered the Invocation. 3.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 34 AND CHAPTER 35 OF THE CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES REGARDING THE ALLOWANCE OF DYNAMIC MESSAGE SIGNS (DMS) TO PUBLIC PLACES AND USES AND ADDING NEW DEFINITIONS OF PUBLIC USES 05/13/13 -5- City Manager Curt Boganey introduced the item, reviewed the City Council's past discussion, and stated the purpose of the proposed ordinance amendment to allow Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) for public and semi-public uses (i.e., churches, schools, City Hall, etc.). It was noted this item was brought forward due to a request from Evergreen Park Elementary School. Planning and Zoning Specialist Tim Benetti provided details relating to the request by Evergreen Park Elementary School for a DMS and ordinance amendment language as recommended by the Planning Commission on a 6-0 vote. He stated staff recommends the City Council grant first reading and schedule a Public Hearing and second reading on June 10, 2013. Mayor Willson stated he was pleased with the thorough vetting conducted by the Planning Commission and that it held an additional meeting to consider public comment. He stated he received a telephone call from a church about its sign and asked if the grandfathering principle would allow those signs in place now to remain but if ever changed or upgraded, the new sign would have to meet the ordinance. Mr. Benetti stated the Planning Commission did address the grandfathering provision and agreed that if previously approved DMS signs did not meet current setbacks it would be left alone, however,the interval requirement must be met. Councilmember Myszkowski noted the vast majority of Public Hearing comments were from churches and asked whether any residents from the west side of Dupont Avenue attended. Mr. Benetti stated he does not remember any residents from that neighborhood making comment at the Public Hearing. He described the general announcement process used for an ordinance amendment. Councilmember Myszkowski stated she wants to assure neighboring residents are aware that if this ordinance is changed, a sign will be installed. Mr. Benetti stated if desired by the City Council, staff can mail out notification to specific properties in the Evergreen School area. Mayor Willson asked what this would mean for notification of future sign requests. Councilmember Myszkowski stated her concern is the close distance of the residential properties to this proposed sign. Mayor Willson suggested this type of sign require a permitting process so notification is made to properties within 350 feet. Mr. Benetti stated the Planning Commission discussed whether to allow this type of sign under a Special Use Permit (SUP) process so the Public Hearing would be published and written notification sent. However, updating the DMS sign would not require that process. City Attorney LeFevere stated he sees no problem with requiring a SUP if the DMS sign is within 350 feet or a specific distance from residential property. He indicated this is not time sensitive so he would recommend a conservative approach in not considering first reading until the ordinance language has been updated and finalized. Councilmember Ryan asked if anyone expressed concern with the brightness of the sign. Mr. Benetti stated they did not and many from the church group wanted a brighter sign to increase public safety but staff does not support having overly bright signs that light up the area. He indicated that staff has not received complaints relating to DMS signs. 05/13/13 -6- Councilmember Ryan stated with commercial signs, the ordinance already contains strongly worded restrictions. But if living adjacent to a commercial property, it is a reasonable expectation it would have an illuminated sign. However, he would not object if it was referred to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation. Motion by Mayor Willson seconded by Councilmember Myszkowski, to direct staff to draft SUP language if the DMS sign is within a specific distance of residential property and refer it to the Planning Commission for consideration and Public Hearing. Councilmember Ryan voted against the same. Motion passed. 10. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS 10a.

He stated he has completed all life and safety orders in a timely fashion and will complete outdoor items as weather permits.
