NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COOLUMBIA HEIGHTS: This deferral procedure shall apply only to assessments which are payable in five or more annual installments. This deferral procedure shall apply only to property owned and occupied by the elderly, retired, or disabled applicant. Ownership and occupancy must be the same nature as would qualify the applicant for a homestead exemption for tax purposes. This deferral procedure shall apply only to homestead property owned by a person 65 years of age or older or retired by virtue of a permanent and total disability for whom it would be a hardship to make payments. Permanent and total disability shall have the same definition for purposes of assessment deferral as is used for social security purposes. This deferral procedure shall not be construed as to prohibit the determination of hardship on the basis of exceptional and unusual circumstances not covered by the standards and guidelines herein so long as determination is made in a nondiscriminatory manner and does not give the applicant an unreasonable preference or advantage over other applicants. In order to obtain a deferral of an assessment, the homeo~vner must make application on the forms prescribed by the City Clerk. In granting a deferred assessment, the Council shall determine in its resolution approving the assessment roll the amount of interest, if any, to be charged on the deferred assessment. The option of the homeowner to defer the payment of special assessments shall terminate and all amounts accumulated plus applicable interest shall become due and payable upon the occurrence of any of the following events: the death of the owner, provided that the spouse is not otherwise eligible for benefits hereunder; the sale, transfer or subdivision of the property or any part thereof; of the property should for any reason lose its homestead status; or if for any reason the City shall determine that there would be no hardship to require immediate or partial payment. No deferral may be granted unless the homeowner makes application to the City Clerk within thirty (30) days after adoption of the assessment by the Council. The deferral shall apply to only 50% of the annual installment payment. If the 50% is not paid in a timely manner, the balance of the annual installment along with all future installments shall become immediately due and payable. No deferral shall be granted to any owner who has a gross annual household income from all sources in excess of $22,800. No deferral may be continued from year to year unless the owner shall file a renewal application before September 15t~' of each year. No special assessment may be deferred for a period longer than the time set by the Council as the time over which the project is to be assessed. Interest on deferred assessments shall be at the rate set by the Council in its resolution adopting the assessment roll, and such interest shall be added to the amount deferred and shall be paid in accordance with Minnesota Statute 435.195 and this Resolution.

Williams noted the discrepancy of ages 65 and 62 in the resolution. Elrite indicated the amount or income is based on a 65 year old but eligibility is at age 62. Williams asked how much the discount is. Yawrocki stated that the minimum charge for residents is $31.76for water, and $! 6. 22for seniors.

ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION Other Ordinances and Resolutions - none Other Business Adopt Resolution No. 2003-50, being a resolution establishing the rates for Water Service~ Sanitary Sewer Service and Storm Sewer for the years 2004 through 2008 Kevin Nansen, Public Works Director, referred to the Utility Rate Study completed by Short Elliott Nendrickson (SEN) and distributed to the City Council on November 3, 2003. Nansen introduced Dave Simons and Doug Klamerus of SEN who were present to give a power point presentation of the Utility Rate Study, which was a nine month process. Dave Simons described the following items from the Utility Rate Study: · Important goals of the study. · Key factors affecting utility rates o Bonding for CIP City Comtcil Minutes December 15, 2003 Page 10 of 20 Governmental mandates Cost to purchase water will increase, as a new treatment plant is being built. If rates were to remain the same, expenses would exceed revenue. cD Cost to treat sewage Simons stated the guide was to keep annual increases to ten percent and comparable to other communities. Reconunendations for Rate Changes Replace minimum charge with a fixed service fee and begin charging at zero usage. Continue senior discount, water meter surcharge, and maximum charge for sewer, except for commercial (which we already do). Increase water and storm water rates, decrease sewer rates initially cD hnplement mmual increases for water and sewer utilities Implement constant rate for storm water utility Simons indicated that the total utility bill increase would be less than ! 0 percent. Total utility bill comparison ofconununities Proposed Water Rates and conununity comparison of water rates Proposed Sewer Rates and community comparison of sewer rates Simons stated this would be recommended as a first year decrease. There is a maximum, similar to a sprinkling credit. Proposed Storm Water Rates and community comparison of storm water rates Total utility bill comparisons to other communities Recommendations hnplement new- rates for five years Monitor expenses and make adjustments if necessary. that in 2008 the City should consider another review to project needs for the next five © Simons stated years. © Charge associated administrative time to utility funds. Consider supplement to utility revenues with alternatives sources such as SAC/WAC fees and special assessments. Consider doing monthly billing to improve customer convenience. [-Jansen reviewed staff's recommendation to increase utility rates with numbers provided each year beginning 2004, with the sewer rate remaining constant, l-Jansen stated that both water and sanitary sewer rates are per dwelling unit, the same as the minimum rate we had in the past. H;yckoff asked when the last utility rate study was done. Hansen indicated he was not aware that such a study was ever done; however the last rate adjustment was in 1999. HZyckoff indicated this would mean an average increase ors18. 00. Hansen indicated the need for a water rate increase because of the charge from Minneapolis and necessary replacements in our infrastructure. The water fund has operated in a deficit for the last two years. ZFyckoff stated she receives more and more complaints about our water and sewage, which shows we have an aging system. Nawrocki stated rates should be researched further and not acted upon tonight. The new water contract with Minneapolis will be a cost reduction. Hansen stated that the water contract would be a 30year contract with percentage increases after ] O years. Those proposed rates were included in this study. Nawrocki commented that there is still a small water fund surplus and the last increase was steep. Nawrocki felt the presentation was sugar coated showing a small increase by combining services. Each service should be looked at separately. He gave personal examples of usage versus the determined minimum usage, which showed usages for a single person was triple the minimum usage. The increase to those on minimum water usage would be 54 percent. Nawrocki stated this is a City Comtcil Minutes December 15, 2003 Page 11 of 20 bargain for commercial customers. There should be no changes to storm sewer charges at this time. Simons listed water usage amounts for an average household. Fehst asked for an explanation of the sprinkling credit. Simons explained relative terms for the winter usage versus summer sprinkling usage and how other communities charge for this. Simons referred to commercial usage, which does not get a break for maximum amounts, as do residential customers. Wyckoff asked why commercial is charged differently. Simons stated that we could raise commercial fees by a lot and not generate a lot of revenue, but we can raise residential fees by a little and raise the amount necessary. This structure is similar to other communities. Hansen indicated the need to increase our rates and the importance to consider implementation of SAC/WAC fee to eliminate the deficit in our water fund. Wyckoff stated that we must planfor the future. Ericson stated that we hired SEH to audit our system because they are professionals. They gain nothing by increasing our rates. They are just trying to help us to plan for the future. Fehst stated that the initial reduction in the sewer rate is so the water rate increase would be tolerable. Fehst stated that typically rates are not reduced, but in this case it would get the rates to the proper fund where we need them. Fehst referred to complaints from 49t~ Avenue and 7t~ Street, and 37t~ Avenue and Polk Street of poor water quality, the need to correct these types of complaints, and to not operating in the red. Fehst complimented SEH, as they were amenable to our concerns and found ways to get things done. Fehst referred to the next agenda item regarding the purchase of water from the City of Minneapolis. The current contract is not favorable to our citizens. He stated that we were cheating the system by not doing infrastructure repair. Repairs have been done during the last eight years of street improvements. Williams indicated that he did not want to defer increases like in the instance ofParkview Filla where $2,000,000 increased to $6, 000, 000 because the debt was deferred. Yawrocki gave the background of our initially water purchase from the City of Minneapolis because of the degree of water softness and about the building of storm sewers. Over the years, when building reserves, we did not reduce the rates. Nawrocki did not agree with reducing sewer rates to make water increases look better, as these are separate funds. Wyckoff stated that the funds were calculated separately and combined. kVyckoff asked if these rates would remain unchanged for five years. Hansen stated that these are the necessary rates to maintain service and take care of debt services, but we must remember there are other revenue sources to consider. Fehst stated that we should look at SAC/WAC fees prior to any new construction. Simons referred to the historic spend down of water utility fund balances and referred again to what would happen if the rates remained the same. _In general, it is the same for the storm water utility. Simons stated there is a sense of urgency to upgrade rates, as more is being a~ent than is being brought in. Wyckoff stated there are copies of the rate study at City Hall, the Library and the Public I/Vorks building.

Approve the contract for the purchase of water from the City of Minneapolis Hansen stated that our drinking water is purchased from the City of Minneapolis. Our contract was for thirty years to the year 1995. Since then we have been operating under the same conditions. As their contracts for individual cities were coming due, they worked with a joint commission and with us over the last 12 to 15 months on future rates. Our City Attorney has reviewed the contract and his changes have been incorporated. This will change how we pay for water. Previously, we used a declining rate, from which we never left level three. Staff'recommends that rates for the next ten years begin at $2.04 per J,O00 units and increase J.S percent for the next ten years. FFyckoff stated that water rates paid are going down and any increase in residential rates would be far future improvements. Hansen stated this is the wholesale rate, but we will include costs to maintain our distribution system, water tower, etc. Nawrocki questioned when the contract would begin. Hansen stated January J, 2004. Wyckoff listed the average rate in 2003. Hansen stated this is would be a unit decrease of $.48. ~Vawrocki questioned how many cents we would save on J3, 000 gallons. Hansen stated $.80. ~'lliams questioned waiting to sign this contract. Kelzenberg stated he was in favor of signing the contract, as this is a better rate than even Minneapolis residents will pay. Motion by Ericson, second by Kelzenberg, to approve the contract for the purchase of water from the City of Minneapolis and authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same. Upon vote: Kelzenberg, aye; Williams, aye; Ericson, aye; Nawrocki, aye; Wyckolt} aye. 5 ayes - 0 nays. Motion carded. Adopt Resolution No. 2003-5 5, being a resolution adopting a budget for 2004, setting the City, Library and EDA levy at $5,447,260 and approving the HRA levy of $137,683 Elrite stated the budget process begins in March to prepare the draft budget; meetings with Councilmembers begin in ~lugust and continue to the Truth and Taxation Hearing in December, when the budget is presented to citizens in a summary format. This year we are in a "hold the line" mode due to the reduction of State aid. The Governor and State are allowing us to make up sixty percent of lost aid through property taxes. The remaining $4J 9, 000 had to be absorbed through reductions, which staff'has accomplished. Elrite stated that four out arrive homes are currently paying less property tax than they were in J997. The average home in Columbia Heights has a property tax value of $]20,000 and would have an average tax increase of $7 to $g per month. Wyckoff asked for an explanation of the statement in the Council letter indicating there would no City Council Minutes December 15, 2003 Page 14 of 20 longer be reserves at the end of this year for a fund balance. Elrite stated that when meeting with Councilmembers in ~Vovember a surplus was anticipated, but now appears that we will only make the required reduction. Wyckoff dispelled the myth that staff'spends extra funds at end of the year. Elrite stated it is a blending, as staff'sometimes waits until near the end of the year to use budgeted funds, holding back in case there are any emergencies and subsequent expenses incurred. There were funds left under Murzyn Hall, as some expenses were not incurred, so the Park and Recreation Commission replaced some carpeting at Murzyn Hall. Nawrocki felt that the Public Works budget was not properly reviewed, and referred to last minute funds spent by the Fire and Police Departments. He stated that we have not done our jobs by not making total budget reductions and by blaming the State, instead of downsizing our operations. Comparing current taxes to ]997 is not a correct comparison, as that included county and school district taxes. Nawrocki stated that in the property tax levy survey of]38 communities we are in the upper 25 percent. He listed reductions he proposed earlier, such as using the anticipated $300,000 surplus to reduce proposed taxes, eliminate the Values First program participation, drop membership in the ~Vorth Metro Chamber and all national organizations, eliminate all travel and conferences outside of the metro area, continue reduction of the Fire Department position in the second half of the year and next year, reduce Special Project Coordinator and City Planner to one- half'time, and eliminate the Public Works Administrative Assistant and one [S position. The Building Znspector position should be reinstated. Nawrocki referred to possible elimination of levy limits. He spoke ora book he read on the Enron scandal and the collapse of the Arthur Andersonfirm, and quoted Teddy Roosevelt saying "Americans only learn from catastrophe and not from experience ". Williams asked Bob Streetar, Community Development Director to discuss information he gave to Council. Streetar gave a summary of the December 7t~ Star-Tribune article comparing taxing districts and cities. The median home value in Columbia Heights was second lowest of the ! 65 listings, and the property tax on this home was the lowest of the listings. Streetar referred to the City's goals and the need to continue new construction. Fehst referred to the tax rate formula. Williams restated that there would only be one city where you would pay lower taxes, and listed the similar local taxes for 2001 and 2004. Williams indicated that we have a great tax value for a city of our size. We could cut a few more things, but our Police Department is critical and the Values First program does a lot for us. Williams stated he would like to see the SAC/WAC fees initiated, as we have lost about $], 600, 000 in State Aid in the last two years. Wyckoff indicated that this community must fight to stay alive. She does not appreciate staff being "put down" and referred to problems with rental properties requiring Police Chief Johnson to ask for replacement officers. ~Vawrocki stated that improvements do continue in the city and that Mr. Streetar's report is not an apples to apples comparison. ~Vawrocki asked if the County will issue an HRM levy. Fehst stated this has been dropped. Motion by Ericson, second by Kelzenberg, to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2003-55, there being ample copies available to the public. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. Motion by Ericson, second by Kelzenberg, to adopt Resolution 2003-55 being a resolution adopting a budget for 2004, setting the City, Library and EDA levy at $5,447,260 and approving the HRA levy of $137,683.

Murzyn Hall a non-smoking facility effective 2005, as outlined by the Park and Recreation Commission at their meeting of November 25, 2003. Keith Windschitl, Recreation Director referred to rental rates for 2004 and 2005 recommended by the Park and Recreation Commission. The only changes would be a reduction in cost for Friday night rentals to increase the number of rentals, and increase the cost of premix in 2005 by $1. The Commission is also recommending that the Murzyn Hall bar area be designated as non-smoking beginning January J, 2005. Windschitl indicated that his survey of other cities with community centers showed that they do not allow smoking inside their facilities. Wyckoff suggested giving the reserving party the option of non-smoking. Windschitl stated renters are given that option. Ericson questioned why the Commission is recommending this. Windschitl referred to the new carpeting. The request is to begin in 2005, as bookings for 2004 were as a smoking facility.

PUBLIC HEARINGS CASE #: DATE: TO: APPLICANT: LOCATION: 2004-0101 December 30, 2003 Columbia Heights Planning Commission Osborne Builders Parkside Village 2"d Addition (5'1st Avenue) REQUEST: Minor Subdivision - Plat Adjustment This is a request from Osborne Builders for Minor Subdivision approval for Parkside Village Townhomes. Osborne is proposing to reduce the overall number of units in the development from 25 to 22, mal~e lot line adjustments to the original plat, and adjust the building footprints accordingly. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES JANUARY 6, 2004 PAGE 2 The site was platted as Parkside Village by Nedegaard Homes and approved by the City in July 2002. The first building site of 6 units facing 51st Avenue was constructed and finished in 2003. Osborne Builders has purchased the remaining three building sites from Nedegaard Custom Homes and will assume the developer role for build-out of this project. Nedegaard Custom Homes has decided to focus on other priority projects, such as Grand Central Lofts (Kmart) and Ramsey Town Center. Osborne Builders have proposed to change the current platted footprints for each building site, slightly modify the floor plans, and drop one unit from each remaining building site. The first six-unit building facing 51st Avenue was previously constructed, and will not change. The existing infrastructure and bituminous surface including visitor parking for the site was also previously constructed and will function 'as is'. The formerly approved building footprints will be adjusted slightly to accommodate a modified floor plan that is better suited to current housing market demand. With the sale of the three remaining sites a motion must be made to approve the Minor Subdivision by Resolution 2004-01. Planninq Considerations: Comprehensive Plan: The 2001 City Comprehensive Plan designates the property for high-density residential use, which is proposed for this site. Zoninq Ordinance: The Zoning Classification for the property is R-3 (Multi-Family). The proposed use will not change and meets the zoning classification. Highway District Design Guidelines: The site is not in the Design Guidelines area, and as such this requirement is not applicable. Site Plan Requirements: The proposed minor subdivision does not significantly impact the former site plans. There will be some very slight modifications in roof lines, topography, but the former approved elevations will not change. The overall site plan is modified slightly by the proposed minor subdivision. The only substantive and recognizable change is the reduction of 3 total units from the original approvals. The access, parking areas, easement areas, walkway around the perimeter of the development, and the trail connection to Sullivan Lake Trail are not impacted by this proposal. Site Plan review is not required for this proposal as the changes are minor in nature. However, the new site plan, elevations, and floor plans have been included for your reference. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES JANUARY 6, 2004 PAGE 3 Residential building setbacks/lot coverage: · Minimum front yard building setback is 30 feet; The existing building meets this requirement as it is 30 feet from the property line. · Minimum rear yard building setback is 30 feet; The proposed building meets this requirement, as it is 30 feet from this property line. The ordinance does allow for architectural features as encroachments up to 3 feet into the required setback area. · Minimum side yard building setbacks is 20 feet; The proposed buildings meet this requirement, as they are more than 20 feet from either side property lines. · Maximum building lot coverage is 35% of the total site. The total site area is 2.27 acres (99,138) square feet. The proposed building sites cover approximately 32, 683 square feet or 32. 9% of the site and meet this requirement. Platting: Parkside Village was formerly platted as: · Block 1, Lots 1-5 (This is being replaced by Block 3, Lots 1-4) · Block 2, Lots 1-7 (This is being replaced by Block 2, Lots 1-6) · Block 3, Lots 1-6 (The building was built, this legal will not change) · Block 4, Lots 1-7 (This is being replaced by Block 1, Lots 1-6) Minor Subdivision Required Findings: The Zoning Ordinance requires that certain findings are necessary in order to confirm that the minor subdivision proposed meets the identified standards from the zoning ordinance. These findings are: · The proposed subdivision of land will not result in more than three (3) lots. Although this minor subdivision is made up of 16 land parcels, these 16 parcels are not newly created parcels. They were platted in 2002. There are actually 3 less parcels in the newly proposed minor subdivision. · The proposed subdivision of land does not involve the vacation of existing easements. The existing drainage and utility easements will be maintained for the site. · All lots to be created by the proposed subdivision conform to lot area and width requirements established for the Zoning District in which the property is located; The proposed lots meet all Zoning District standards pertaining to lot requirements. · The proposed subdivision does not require the dedication of public rights-of-way for the purpose of gaining access to the property; Dedication of right-of-way is not required for this project. The current access for the property is not changing. · The property has not previously been divided through the minor subdivision provisions of this ordinance; The property was platted in 2002, and has not since been subdivided or modified. · The proposed subdivision does not hinder the conveyance of land; The proposed subdivision does not affect land conveyance. · The proposed subdivision does not hinder the making of assessments or the keeping of records related to assessments; The proposed subdivision does not impact assessments and related records. · The proposed subdivision meets all of the design standards specified in Section 14 (Subdivision Regulations); The minor subdivision proposed meets all required Subdivision Regulations specified in Section 14. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES JANUARY 6, 2004 PAGE 4 Staff recommends approval of the Minor Subdivision proposal from Osborne Builders to modify the original Parkside Village plat. Yehle questioned whether the trees, shrubs, and general landscaping plan that was originally approved would remain intact. Planner Johnson responded that Mr. Osborne would be required to assume those approved requirements. He also will need to provide the sidewalks, walkways within the subdivision, and connections to the Parkland as was originally approved. He asked whether the Park Dedication fees that were already paid would decrease due to less units in the development. Planner Johnson was not ~ure whether the City would be obligated to refund any fees since the units would be reduced from 25 to 22. He will confer with the City Attorney on this matter. Baker asked whether Mr. Nedegaard retained the ownership of the existing 6 units and if he is still responsible for the sale of these units. Planner Johnson stated that Nedegaard does still own the first set of six units, and has heard a couple of the units may be sold, but that they have nothing to do with the matter before the Commission tonight. Peterson asked Mr. John Osborne if negotiations on the Park Dedication fees had'taken place as part of the sale. Mr. Osborne stated that nothing had been negotiated between the two parties, but since Mr. Nedegaard had already paid up front for these fees, any refund should be made to him. Schmitt asked if the exterior of the buildings would remain the same as what was previously approved. Mr. Osborne stated that, yes, the exterior items such as roofing, siding, windows, landscaping, and trees would remain the same. Only the floor plan would be changed slightly to make them more marketable. He said that he will construct one building at a time. The east building will be built first, then the west building, and finally the north. Motion by Peterson, second by Baker, to recommend City Council approval of Resolution 2004- O1, a Minor Subdivision for Parkside Village 2nd Addition, as the Minor Subdivision meets required findings, and subject to the following conditions of approval that have been found necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Zoning and Development Ordinance: All required state and local codes, permits, licenses and inspections will be met and in full compliance. 2. The applicant shall provide required utility and drainage easements for all newly created lots and shall be responsible for the cost of filing and recording written easements with the Anoka County Recorder's Office. 3. The applicant shall pay parkland dedication fees for each lot created beyond the original number of lots existing prior to subdivision, except when such fees have been applied to the property as part of a previous subdivision. 4. The applicant shall be responsible for filing the approved subdivision survey with tl~e Anoka Cod~nty Recorder's Office. The approved minor subdivision shall become invalid if the subdivision is not filed with the Anoka County Recorder's Office within One ( ~) year of the date of City Council action. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES JANUARY 6, 2004 PAGE 5 NEW BUSINESS Acquisition of NEI property at 825 41st Avenue NE Enclosed in the agenda packets was a memo from Tim Johnson, City Planner regarding the acquisition of the NEI property located at 825 41st Avenue NE. This property is in the process of being acquired by the Columbia Heights EDA. State statute requires that the Planning Commission be notified of the intent to purchase land. However, At this time no specific redevelopment plan has been proposed for the site. The EDA intends to acquire this parcel'in anticipation of clearance/demolition of the currently distressed building, for a potential redevelopment opportunity. Minnesota Statute 462.356 requires that if a City has a Comprehensive Plan, it must notify the Planning Commission of the intent to purchase or sell land. The City Comprehensive Plan designates this property for Transit-Oriented Development and the Zoning is R-4, Multi-Family Residential. Future housing or a mixed-use project for this site would be consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan. Schmitt asked if anyone else was interested in the property. Planner Johnson explained that three other parties were possibly interested in the site, however the City wants to get control of the property which is a little more than 5 acres in size, so they could decide how to best utilize the site. Peterson agreed that the City should purchase this property, but he was not anxious to have it demolished right away. He would like some research done to possibly renovate the existing building as it is unique and has some historical beauty that could possibly be preserved. Yehle said he was sure that staff and the council would research all the possibilities and are well aware of the importance of the building. Motion by Peterson, second by SchJnitt, to convey to the Columbia Heights City Council that the purchase of the NEI property located at 825 41st Avenue NE by the Columbia Heights EDA would comply with the City's Comprehensive Plan. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES JANUARY 6, 2004 PAGE 6 MISCELLANEOUS Zoning Bulletin-Enclosed in the agenda packet was the most current edition of the Zoning Bulletin. Planner Johnson stated this was included in the packets for the Commission members to review as it addresses various legal aspects pertaining to zoning issues. Yehle commented on the fact that Columbia Heights has been in the press quite frequently during the last two months for several issues he feels negatively impact our community. He encouraged citizens to get to know your neighbors, and to watch over one another. He would like to see the residents of our community act responsibly and keep Columbia Heights out of the news. Motion by Peterson, second by Schmitt, to adjourn the meeting at 7:34 pm. All ayes. Motion passed. Respectfully submitted, Shelley Hanson Secretary City of Columbia Heights Park and Recreation Commission December 18, 2003 The meeting was called to order by Eileen Evans at 6:28 p.m. ROLL CALL Members present: Eileen Evans; Jen'y Foss; Tom Greenhalgh; Bruce Kelzenberg; Gary Mayer; Kevin McDonald; David Payne; Marsha Stroik; Keith Windschitl, Recreation Director; Kevin Hansen, Public Works Director/City Engineer Also present: Chris Biefinger; Jim Mailand Excused Absent: None Absent: None APPROVAL CONSENT AGENDA Motion to approve consent agenda by Foss; second by Mayer.

OLD BUSINESS HUSET PARK MASTER PLAN PRESENTATION BY BONESTROO ROSENE ANDERLIK & ASSOCIATES Public Works DirectoffCity Engineer, Kevin Hansen, reviewed the Huset Park Master Plan and discussed looking at alternatives with the park planning consultant. Bonestroo representatives Chris Bieringer and Jim Mailand were present to address the different facets of the Huset Park Master Plan. Director of Park & Recreation Group for Bonestroo, Jim Mailand, discussed the history of the Huset Park Master Plan. Information Packets including a plat map, natural buffers, changes in parldng and water options, were handed out to Commission Members. The water features presented to the Commission were the splash pad feature and the shallow water feature. Kevin Hansen noted that the current three wading pools in Columbia Heights do not meet State codes and of the possibility of future closure of the wading pools. One scenario to address this would be to focus on one water feature at a larger park. PAGE TWO Commission Chairperson, Eileen Evans, expressed concerns regarding daycare providers whom may not live close enough to walk children to the new water feature if all three wading pools were to close. Jim Mailand inforrned the Commission that Jefferson Street NE would be changed into a parkway that would not allow for street parlcing. This change would be safer for children. The road would be reduced to 28' wide and there would be a curvature in the road to accommodate the wagon wheel ball fields. The wagon wheel ball fields include two men's softball fields, a t-ball field and a little league field. A building that would hold concessions, storage and restrooms would be placed in the center of the wagon wheel ball fields. Commission Member, Marsha Stroik, questioned the lighting of the fields and how it would be detmTnined which field would be lit. Jim Mailand stated that the light poles could be positioned to light more than one field. The entrance to JPM would be relocated and parlcing layout would be changed. Recreation Director, Keith Windschitl, expressed concerns on parldng regarding the Senior Center and Preschool, both yielding high traffic and need for sufficient parlcing in close proximity to the back entrance. The parlcing issue will be reviewed and modifications will be brought to the Commission at a later date. The elimination of the north entrance off of Mill Street was put before the Commission. Elimination of this entrance would allow for a landscaped plaza and other amenities on the west side of JPM. At the next meeting there will be two entrance options, eliminating the entrance all together or moving the entrance to a different location. Commission Members will make their suggestions when the new plans are created. Discussion continued on the best location (in the City) for a skate park and Kevin Hansen asked what other feature could be put in place of the designated skate park location. Several options, including open space, were discussed and different options will be presented at a later date, with the removal of the skating park at Huest. Commission Member, Jerry Foss, asked about the timetable that would be used for grant purposes for the Huset Park Master Plan. Kevin Hansen stated that a joint meeting would need to be held the week prior to the regular January 2004 Park and Recreation Commission meeting, along with presenting the Huset Park Master Plan to the City Council at the first workshop in February 2004. Once that is completed, the grant could be applied for. He noted that due to lack of available funding, the park would be built in phases over a several year time span. PAGE THREE Senior Project Manager, Chi-is Bieringer, asked the Commission on their thoughts of developing playground space for youth over 5th grade. Kevin Hansen stated that they plan to keep the playground space pre-kindergarten on one side of the trail and kindergarten through 5th grade on the other side of the trail. Motion by Greenhalgh, second by Foss to move the Park and Recreation Commission Meeting to Tuesday, Janum'y 20, 2004 at 6:30 p.m. to hold a joint Public meeting with the Huset Park Neighborhood Group. All ayes, motion came& NEW BUSINESS There is no new business at this time.

Osborne is proposing to reduce the overall number of units in the development from 25 to 22, make lot line adjustments to the oiginal plat, and adjust the building footprints accordingly. The site was platted as Parkside Village by Nedegaard Homes and approved by the City in July 2002. The first building site of 6 units facing 51st Avenue was constructed and finished in 2003. Osbome Builders has purchased the remaining three building sites from Nedegaard Custom Homes and will assume the developer role for build-out of this project. Nedegaard Custom Homes has decided to focus on other priority projects, such as Grand Central Lofts (Kmart) and Ramsey Town Center. Osborne Builders have proposed to change the current platted footprints for each building site, slightly modify the floor plans, and drop one unit from each remaining building site. The first six-unit building facing 51st Avenue was previously constructed, and will not change. The existing infrastructure and bituminous surface including visitor parking for the site was also previously constructed and will function 'as is'. The formerly approved building footprints will be adjusted slightly to accommodate a modified floor plan that is better suited to current housing market demand. This action will be taken by the Planning Commission: · Motion on the Minor Subdivision (approval of Resolution 2004-01) Planninq Considerations: Comprehensive Plan: The 2001 City Com. prehensive Plan designates the property for high-density residential use, which is proposed for this site.

The proposed use will not Highway District Design Guidelines: The site is not in the Design Guidelines area, and as such this requirement is'not applicable. Site Plan Requirements: The proposed minor subdivision does not significantly impact the former site plans. There will be some very slight modifications in roof lines, topography, but the former approved elevations will not change. The overall site plan is modified slig.htly by the proposed minor subdivision. The only substantive and recognizable change is the reduction of 3 total units from the original approvals. The access, parking areas, easement areas, walkway around the perimeter of the development, and the trail connection to Sullivan Lake Trail are not impacted by this proposal. Site Plan review is not required for this proposal as the changes are minor in nature. However, the new site plan, elevations, and floor plans have been included for your reference. Residential building setbacks~lot coverage: · Minimum front yard building setback is 30 feet; The existing building meets this requirement as it is 30 feet from the property line. · Minimum rear yard building setback is 30 feet; The proposed building mdets this requirement, as it is 30 feet from this property line. The ordinance does allow for architectural features as encroachments up to 3 feet into the/equired setback area. · Minimum side yard building setbacks is 20 feet; The proposed buildings meet this requirement, as they are more than 20 feet from either side property lines. · Maximum building lot coverage is 35% of the total site. The total site area is 2.27 acres (99,138) square feet. The proposed building sites cover approximately 32, 683 square feet or 32.9% of the site and meet this requirement. Platting: Parkside Village was formerly platted as: · Block 1, Lots 1-5. (This is being replaced by Block 3, Lots 1-4) · Block 2, Lots 1-7 (This is being replaced by Block 2, Lots 1-6) · Block 3, Lots 1-6 (The building was built, this legal will not change) · Block 4, Lots 1-7 (This is being replaced by Block 1, Lots 1-6) Minor Subdivision Required Findings: The Zoning Ordinance requires that certain findings are necessary in order to confirm that the minor subdivision proposed meets the identified standards from the zoning ordinance. These findings are: · The proposed subdivision of land will not result in more than three (3) lots. Although this minor subdivision is made up of 16 land parcels, these 16 parcels are not newly created parcels. They were platted in 2002. There are actually 3 less parcels in the newly proposed minor subdivision. · The proposed subdivision of land does not involve the vacation of existing easements. The existing drainage and utility easements will be maintained for the site. · All lots to be created by the proposed subdivision conform to lot area and width requirements established for the Zoning District in which the property is located; The Case: 2004-0101 Page: 3 proposed lots meet all Zoning District standards pertaining to lot requirements. · The proposed subdivision does not require the dedication of public rights-of-way for the purpose of gaining access to the property; Dedication of right-of-way is not required for this project. The current access for the property is not changing. · The property has not previously been divided through the minor subdivision provisions of this ordinance; The property was platted in 2002, and has not since been subdivided or modified. · The proposed subdivision does not hinder the conveyance of land; The proposed subdivision does not affect land conveyance. · The proposed subdivision does not hinder the. making of assessments or the keeping of records related to assesments; The proposed.subdivision does not impact assessments and related records. · The proposed subdivision meets all of the design standards specified in Section 14 (Subdivision Regulations); The minor subdivision proposed meets all required Subdivision Regulations specified in Section 14.
