Hansen~-~ ITEM: NPDES PHASE PLAN AGREEMENT DATE: 7/31/02x~__.~..~ . Background: As required by the Federal EPA, cities with populations greater than 10,000 and operating Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4's) are required to have a Phase II permit by March 10, 2003. MS4's with populations greater than 100,000 (St. Paul and Minneapolis) have already been permitted (see Attachment 1). Analysis/Conclusions: The NPDES Phase II regulation set forth six minimum steps: 1. Public education and outreach on stormwater impacts; 2. Public involvement/participation; 3. Illicit discharge detection and elimination; 4. Construction site stormwater runoff control; 5. Post construction stormwater management in new development and redevelopment; 6. Pollution prevention/good housekeeping for municipal operations. The MN PCA has developed a general permit and issued the final version on June 25, 2002. Public Works established $10,000 in the 2002 budget and is proposing the same in the 2003 budget to accomplish the NPDES Phase II permit requirements. In an effort to help Minnesota cities comply with this unfunded mandate, the League of Minnesota Cities has sponsored the development ora "guide plan" that would be applicable to all Minnesota cities. The guide plan would allow the city to complete 50-65% of the NPDES Phase II permit while using in-house resources or minimizing consultant services to complete it by the March 10, 2003 deadline. (See attached letter dated June 7, 2002, Attachment 2.) Attached please find a Letter of Understanding from the LMCs for the NPDES Phase II Guide Plan (Attachment 3). It outlines the content and deliverables for the guide plan and estimated fee of $5,000. As of July 26, 2002, 79 cities have signed onto the development of the guide plan, which may lower the individual city fees. Staffbelieves the guide plan is an excellent resource to help Columbia Heights complete the NPDES Phase II permit requirements and recommends entering into an agreement with the LMC. Requested Action: Authorize the Mayor and City Manager to sign the Letter of Understanding with the LMC for the NPDES Phase II guide plan development; and, furthermore, authorize payment not-to-exceed $5,000 from the Storm Water Utility Fund, 604-49650-3050. Attachment 1: Attachment 2: Attachment 3: MPCA Letter dated February 13, 2002 LMC Letter dated June 7, 2002 LMC Letter of Understanding dated July 15, 2002 COUNCIL ACTION: ATTACHMENT .Minnesota pollution Control Agency February 13, 2002 RE: Phase II Storm Water Program Dear Storm Sewer System Operator: You are receiving this letter (electronically and in hard copy) from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency 0VIPCA) because the new Federal Phase II National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System 0XrPDES) requirements may pertain to you. The purpose of this letter is to provide you with some general information about the Phase II NPDES requirements that address storm water discharges from Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4's) and industrial activity. The Phase II storm water program is intended to further reduce adverse impacts to water quality and aquatic habitat by instituting the use of controls on the sources of storm water discharges that have the greatest likelihood of causing continued environmental degradation. Please forward this letter to the person(s) responsible for Storm water activities in your organization. As you may know, the Clean Water Act was amended in 1987 to require implementation of a comprehensive national program for addressing storm water discharges. Phase I of the program required NPDES permit coverage for storm water discharges fi'om large and medium MS4's serving populations of 100,000 or greater. The Phase I NPDES permit for these MS4's (Minneapolis and St. Paul) required them to develop and implement a storm water management program for their storm water. The Phase H storm water program is expanding by requiring small MS4's to obtain coverage under an NPDES permit and to develop and implement programs and practices to control impacted storm water runoff. The Phase II regulations "automatically" designate municipal storm water dischargers on a nationwide basis. Small MS4's are defined as any city that was not a large or medium MS4. The regulated small MS4 definition is further defined, for this program, as any area that is located within the boundaries of a Federal Bureau of Census-delineated "urbanized area" based on the latest decennial census. This "urbanized area" is defined as a land area comprising one or more places ("central places") and the adjacent densely settled surrounding area ("urban fringe") that together have a residential population of at least 50,000 and a density of at least 1000 people per square mile. This automatic designation will also include highway departments, universities, hospitals, and any other operator of a storm sewer system that is located fully or partially within an urbanized area. Operators of designated small MS4's must obtain NPDES permit coverage by March 10, 2003. 520 Lafayette Rd.

Storm Sewer System Operator Page 2 February 13, 2002 The MPCA storm water staffis currently in the process ofdra~ing a general permit for the Phase II small MS4's which must be issued by December 9, 2002, to meet federal requirements. The MPCA expects to place the.draft MS4 permit on public notice in February or March 2002. At that time you will receive a letter fi.om us informing you that the permit is on public notice, and soliciting your comments on the draft permit. The letter will also contain dates and locations, in the metro area and in greater Minnesota, of public meetings to be held by the MPCA during the public comment period. In addition to taking comments on the draf~ permit the MPCA will provide information about the Phase II requirements for regulated small MS4's at these meetings. In the interim, if you would like more information about the Phase II storm water program, go to the MPCA web site located at http://www.pca.state.mn.us/water/stormwater or to the US Environmental Protection Agency's web site at: http ://cfpub.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/swphase2.efm?program id=6 If you have questions regarding this letter or the Phase II storm water program, please call any of the following Phase II storm water program staff: Brian Livingston at (651) 297-1830, Ken Moon at (651) 297-8469 or Lance Poyzer at (218) 828-6063.

Will you be ready? The League of Minnesota Cities Can help. A group of League members concerned about this stormwater regulation has met and decided to explore the possibility of developing a Permit "Guide Plan". This Guide Plan would be designed to help MS4 cities complete 50% to 65% of their NPDES Phase I1 Permit Application and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) using in-house resources. A rough estimate of the cost to develop the Guide Plan is $250,000. This cost would need to be split between 50 or mom permitees to make it affordable and cost-effective - $5,000 per city. If more cities join this effort, the cost for each city will be lower. If enough cities express an interest in the project, a steering committee will be formed to dir6ct the project. The steering committee would be involved in selecting a consultant and providing assistance to the League in managing the endeavor. The masons to develop the Guide Plan are: · Efficiency Instead of.every city straggling to start from the beginning, the League could develop the Guide Plan and distribute it to many MS4 cities. · Cost savings Some cities have estimated their total NPDES Phase 11 Permit development cost at $50,000 or more. Using the Guide Plan at a cost of only $5,000, a city could complete half or mom of the Permit and SWPPP using in-house resources. * Support from the MN Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) The MPCA strongly supports this effort by the League. MPCA staff will review and "pm-approve" the Guide Plan. The MPCA considers the Guide a significant step in moving this entire program forward quickly and effectively. AN EQUAL OPPORTUNrrY/A~ATIVE ACTION EMPLOY'ER Consistency This is a new program with a tight schedule. The Guide Plan will help make the Permit Applications and SWPPP's more consistent. This will facilitate review by the MPCA and provide a degree of security for the MPCA and the cities in the event of review by the USEPA. The first step in developing the Guide Plan is to assemble a Steering Committee to determine what elements should be in the Guide. Our first pass at defining these components is: Guide Plan Elements Permit task checklist * Required tasks · When they need to be done Checklist for existing city programs · Extensive list of possible existing programs · Cover full range of city departments · Match programs with: o Minimum Control Measures o Measurable Goals List of acceptable BlVIP's · Extensive list of possible BMP's · Match programs with: o Minimum Control Measures o Measurable Goals Ordinances · List required ordinances o Include recommended provisions Employee training, educational materials & programs, state & county programs · List of sources and descriptions of available materials and programs · Match materials and programs with: o Minimum Control Measures o Measurable Goals · Provide contact information · Provide forms letters and agreements for outside providers Funding options * Provide details and options for funding mechanisms The tasks remaining after a city completes its work with the Guide Plan might be: · Fill in the gaps · Write the Application & the SWPPP · Public meetings · Respond to comments · Implement SWPPP · Prepare Annual Reports What do we need from your ci ,ty? If the Guide is to be useful, we need to move ahead quickly. We need funding to pay for the development of the Guide Plan. We need representatives from cities to join the Steering Committee. Most importantly, we need responses quickly from the cities regulated under this program to the following questions: 1. Is your city interested in joining with other cities to develop the Guide Plan? 2. Will your city contribute approximately $5,000 to the development of the Guide Plan? 3. Will a representative from your city participate on the Steering Committee? Please respond to Remi Stone at the League of Minnesota Cities before June 28, 2002 at 651- 281-1256 or rstone @lmnc.org. The Steering Committee will meet during July. For additional information about NPDES Phase II and the Guide Plan, please attend the session on these subjects at the LMC Annual Conference - June 19, 2002, 10:45 AM to 12:00 noon.

The goal of the Guide Plan is to provide your city with a tool to allow it to complete 50% - 65% of your NPDES Phase 11 Notice of Intent and a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan using in-house resources. Based on the significant number of cities responding to the LMC's June 7, 2002 letter, we are moving ahead to have the LMC Board approve a contract with a consultant to develop the Guide Plan. Due to the time sensitive nature of this project, please sign and return one copy of this Letter of Understanding to the LMC no later than August 15, 2002. LMC will not enter into an agreement with a consultant until it has received sufficient written city commitments to cover the cost of the project. This Letter of Understanding is intended to describe the scope and nature of the project. The Guide Plan elements will include the following: permit application components meeting the six minimum measures required by the USEPA and MPCA; a permit task check list; a check list for existing city programs; a list of acceptable Best Management Practices (BMPs); ordinances; employee training; educational materials & programs; access to state and county programs, and requisite contact information; form letters and agreements for outside providers; and details and options for funding mechanisms to comply with this regulatory program. Estimates to develop the Guide Plan range from approximately $100,000 to $350,000. This cost assumes that a large portion of the work plan will be coordinated by and implemented through League staff. By approving this Letter of Understanding, your city agrees to contribute $5,000 to help make the Guide Plan a reality. The process for developing the Guide Plan will include the following components. Steering Committee: The Steering Committee consists of 15 voting members, all of who are city officials and Were selected as volunteers to represent their communities. The first meeting of the Steering Committee is July 16, 2002. The Steering Committee will make a recommendation regarding a consultant for the project and will provide direction for the project as it moves forward. There will be a sub-committee of the Steering Committee that will help LMC short-list firms for interview. Request for Qualifications ! Statement of Qualification: The LMC issued a modified Request for Qualifications (RFQ) on July 12, 2002. The LMC targeted the RFQ to firms that have expressed interest in the project. Additionally, the project was noticed to the City Engineers Association of Minnesota and to the American Council of Engineering Companies of Minnesota Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) are not to exceed 15 pages, however, if necessary appendix materials including resumes may be unlimited. Firms are asked to provide 10 copies that LMC can have delivered over-night to key the Steering Committee members. Since the RFQ was mailed out on July 12, 2002, the SOQs will be due July 26, 2002, giving firms a two-week turn around. LMC Board Action: The LMC Board will review and approve the suggested process at their July 25, 2002 Board Meeting. Interview ! Selection of Consultants: Based on the SOQs, the sub-committee of the Steering Committee will develop a short list (3-5 firms) of eligible engineering firms that will be invited to make presentations during the week of August 5, 2002 to the full Steering Committee. The Steering Committee will then make a recommendation to the LMC Board. At its July 25 meeting, the LMC Board may choose to delegate to its Executive Committee the authority to select and contract with the consultant. LMC enter into contract / Deliverable October 15, 2002: On behalf of the participating cities in the Guide Plan project, the LMC will enter into a contract with a selected consulting firm to produce the final copywritten Guide Plan. The budget has not yet been set, but we anticipate the cost to be about $200,000. It is anticipated the contract will be let in early August, 2002. The Guide Plan will be due no later than October 15, 2002 and will have a "not to exceed" clause based on the number of communities that agree to participate in the project. In the event the project is completed and delivered for less than the estimated $5,000 per community, the LMC will make an equitable remittance to all participating communities. AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY / AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER 2 Training / Construction of Permit Application: The Steering Committee will meet at least two times in person with the selected consultant to review the Guide Plan's progress and the final draft. We anticipate the Steering Committee and all participating cities will be given weekly or bi-weekly updates prepared by LMC staff and the consulting finn. Upon delivery of the Guide Plan, it is our expectation that the consulting finn will provide at least two training and education opportunities to participating cities in the use and implementation of the Guide Plan. Ownership: The final Guide Plan will be the property of LMC, although all participating cities will receive copies of the completed Guide Plan. LMC may provide a copy of the completed Guide Plan to non-participating cities upon payment of an appropriate fee, as determined by LMC. Revenue from the sale of the Guide Plan shall belong to the LMC, to compensate it for the cost and staff time involved in coordinating this project. The LMC Board of Directors understands the importance of using your city's resources wisely. We support your desire to collaborate with other communities to develop the Guide Plan. As indicated above, LMC will not enter into an a~eement with a consultant until it has received sufficient written city commitments to cover the cost of the project. You may include your $5000 contribution with the signed Letter of Understanding or we will invoice your city for the amount. If you have any questions about this project or the contract, please contact Remi Stone at (651) 281-1256 or email: rstone@lmnc.org; or Tom Gmndhoefer at (651) 281-1266 or email: tgrundho @ lmnc.org.

Hansen/_.~ _ UNIT #309 GRACO LINELAZER III LINE STRIPER DATE: Background: Unit # 309 is a Graco Linelazer III Line Striper used for painting cross walks, parking lots, parking spaces, bike paths, and curb lines. The unit was purchased in 1995 for $4,500 with a projected life expectancy of 7 years. This unit is powered by a 4.0 hp gasoline engine. Unit # 309 is in service 6 months out of the year and averages between 500 & 600 hours of use per year. Maintenance and repair records indicate that $1,000 has been spent on repairs. The engine is using oil and the clutch assembly was reconditioned in 2000. The Shop Foreman has rated the mechanical condition as fair. State Aid Maintenance Funds have been budgeted in 2002 for the replacement of Unit # 309. Analysis~Conclusions: The line striper is an essential piece of equipment. Line stripping serves multiple purposes: it directs and controls the flow of traffic, provides public safety, and enhances the overall appearance of the city. It is very dangerous to engage in equipment repairs while working in the street, making it imperative that striping equipment perform flawlessly for the safety of the employees. The new line striper is equipped with operator friendly controls, (no tool adjustments needed) and advanced technology that monitors pressure, speed, material thickness, distance and material used. This should equate to less down time and less material use. Staff recommends replacement of Unit # 309 with a Graco Linelazer III 5900, model 232662, 2 gun system complete. Public Works has received the following quotes: Diamond Vogel Paints Sherwin Williams Hershfield's P/M Division $4,984 plus sales tax $5,150 plus sales tax $5,260 plus sales tax Estimated trade-in or auction value of Unit #309 is $700. Staff recommends disposing of Unit # 309 by auction to obtain the highest value. Requested Action: Authorize the Capital Equipment Replacement of Unit # 309 with one (1) new Graco Linelazer III 5900, model 233662, 2 gun system complete from Diamond Vogel Paints, Minneapolis, Minnesota in the amount of $4,984 plus sales tax. Funding shall be from the State Aid Maintenance Fund, 212-43190.

DATE: July 31, 2002 NO: BACKGROUND: Recreation staff, is seeking authorization to accept the City of Columbia Heights / NEI College of Technology lease agreement for use of the west gymnasium Mondays through Thursdays from 6:00p.m - 10:00p.m from September 1, 2002 through May 31, 2003. The facility will be used for both youth and adult basketball, volleyball and other similar activities suitable to a gymnasium. The lease will remain constant compared to the 2000- 2002 lease agreement. Attached is a copy of the prospective lease agreement dated September 1, 2002 through May 31, 2003 and a copy of an approved agreement dated September 1, 2000 through May 31, 2002. Also attached is a letter dated September 19, 2001 from Harry Wilcox regarding the cost increases due to utility cost increases. There are several minor changes in the new lease. NEI is now requiring us to provide more supervision. They also will no longer allow usage of the East (small) Gymnasium due to their safety and liability concerns. The cost of the West Gymnasium is the same as it was last year. The cost for gymnasium usage in the past two years has averaged approximately $2800 per year. The City Attorney has reviewed the new contract and finds it to be satisfactory. It should be noted that the Recreation Department will try to keep the usage of the NEI Gymnasium to a minimum due to the high cost. This, in turn, means that our traveling teams will be forced to use the less than adequately sized school gymnasiums. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve lease agreement with NEI College of Technology for use of West Gymnasium from September 1, 2002 - May 31, 2003 upon terms stated in lease and furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same. COUNCIL ACTION: July 1, 2002 City of Columbia Heights 590 40th Ave. NE. Columbia Hts. Mn. 55421 Attn: Keith Windschitl Dear Keith; Enclosed you will find the new lease as we discussed. The changes are as follows: 1. Paragraph 1&2 substitutes large gymnasium. 2. Paragraph 4 deletes hot and cold running water. 3. Paragraph 8 defines supervision and entrance/exit to the building in detail. 4. Paragraph 13 increased limits of Liability. 5. Paragraph 18 refers back to paragraph 2. My hope is that the Mayor and Council will review and sign the agreement at the next council meeting. If I can be of any further help to you please feel free to contact me.

Johnson, Chief of Ponce Walt Fehst, City Manager ~g//~ SUBJECT: TRANSFER OF FUNDS FROM GENERAL FUND TO POLICE DEPARTMENT BUDGET TO REIMBURSE OVERTIME FUND. August 5, 2002 Work Session. Background: During the past 4 months the Police Department has been involved in off duty employment details that are handled through the department. These details were for security at Unique Thrift Store, Columbia Heights High School events, Columbia Heights Recreation Department Events, Valley View Elementary PTA, Columbia Heights High School All Night Party Committee, K-Mart Closing security, and Parking Lot Surveillance of the Palace Bar. Since this type of off duty employment is handled through the department officers have signed up and worked these details since March 1, 2002 and we have received a check from the following entities, Unique Thrift Store in the mount of $8,519.98, Columbia Heights High School in the amount of $1,190, Columbia Heights Recreation Department in the amount of $150.00, Palace Bar in the amount of $800.00, Valley View Elementary PTA in the amount of $130.00, Columbia Heights High School All Night Party Committee in the amount of $156.00, and K-Mart closing in the amount of $280.00. Because, according to the City Finance Director, this money is considered revenue it had to be placed in the City General Fund.

At least one homeowner adjacent to property has contacted the City indicating the home is unoccupied, in disrepair and that the lawn is typically overgrown. The City building official, as well as the County Health Department has visited the home over the last few months. City staff, including the building official, visited the property on July 31 and determined that: · The lawn is overgrown and that a large pile of branches exists in the backyard hanging over the fence into the neighbor's yard. The addition added to the rear of the home is in poor condition. The building official indicates the home is not hazardous under the building code, but that the rear addition must be repaired or removed. · The home is unoccupied and that the son of the owner is attempting to maintain the home, while the homeowner is in the hospital. As a result of these findings, staff has taken the following actions: · Sent a letter on July 31, to the homeowner indicating they must mow the lawn and remove the branches in the backyard within 10 days; otherwise, the City will do it and bill the homeowner. · Contacted the Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation (GMHC) on July 30, and requested they meet with the homeowner to assist them to repair or remove the addition in the next two weeks. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Council allow the staff to continue to implement the action already taken and described above.

We have the exact number of deaths and injuries by severity in the state however; the numbers of severe, moderate and minor injuries are not broken down by county in the Crash Facts Report.

Coon Rapids Police Department Anoka Police Department Ramsey Police Department Columbia Heights Police Department What is Safe & Sober? · Safe & Sober is a Traffic Safety Program funded through The Department of Public Safety, Office of Traffic Safety. · Police departments throughout the state apply for a grant through this program. · Limited $ are available. · This year the state will again receive grant requests for more than twice the monies available. · Departments are awarded monies based on the need for traffic safety within their jurisdictions. The number of accidents within our communities. (Fatalities, and Personal Injury) · Traffic related driving complaints. · Population ~ · Number of miles driven within our boundaries. · The quality of the grant written. State Planning · The Safe & Sober Projects are broken down into 5 Waves. · Waves are planned around certain times of the year. · Each Wave is intended to focus on a particular driving problem. Projects begin 10-1-02 through 9-31-03. Local Planning: · Prior to the 1st Wave, all 4 agencies meet and plan. · We must schedule shifts for officers, l I · These shifts must focus on the particular Wave we are working within. · IE: Wave II is Impaired Driving, shifts will be worked around the 23:00 - 03:00 time period. A media release is prepared and sent out before and after each Wave. Local Planning continued: · A Safe & Sober plan form has to be completed by each agency. · Informal seat belt surveys are completed by officers before and al[er Waves 1 & 3. · Media personnel are invited to ride with officers. · Officers must have training in; · Standardized Field Sobriety Training · Advanced Field Sobriety Training (2~a year) · Occupant Protection Usage and Enforcement Wave I 11-14-02 / 12-08-02 Includes pre and post media in all waves · Focus is on the Belts & Child Safety Seat. · Officers will be citing for offenses such as; · A major focus must be education as well as enforcement. · Education & Media is required on all waves. · Seat Belt Violations (driver & passenger). · Child Safety Seat violations. Wave I continued: · Children are at risk when unprotected in a crash. · In a recent observation survey Brooklyn Center found less than 50% of the children being dropped off at day care centers properly restrained. · There is a direct relationship to parent and child restraint use. Two groups with the highest crash rate also have the lowest belt use. Teens and over~ Aggressive Driving Vs. Road Rage · Aggressive Driving are violations or actions by a motorist that tend to irritate other motorists. · IE: Reading a newspaper while driving, putting on makeup, shaving, talking on the cell phone, weaving, following too close, etc. · Road Rage is the result of Aggressive Driving. · IE: Forcing the other vehicle offthe road, slamming on the brakes, hand gestures, shootings. 2 Wave II: Impaired Driving Begins December 5, 2002 through December 29, 2002. · Shifts scheduled mostly around 23:00 - 03:00 · Focus is to remove the impaired driver from our roads. Example of past projects. · 12-02-00 Spring Lake Park P.D. hosted a Joint Project in their city. 12-16-00 LLPD hosted a Joint Project on the east side of Anoka County. · Officers from all five agencies participated in these projects. · The goal is to remove the impaired driver from our streets and highways..~~ Wave III: Memorial Day (Youth & Belts) Runs from 05-15-03 through 06-08-03. · Focus will be on Youth activities i.e. prom & graduation events & Belts and child safety seat violations. · Focus will be on Underage Consumption & "Not- A-Drop" laws. · Officers will be speaking to kids in high schools during this wave. · Traffic Accidents are the leading cause of death among young people. Wave IV: Impaired Driving · Begins June 20, 2003 through July 15, 2003. · Holiday periods are the most dangerous time of the year for crashes. · In 2002 we reduced the'number of deaths on Minnesota Roads during the memorial day weekend from 15 the previous year to only six by concentrated education and enforcement. More than 400 agencies in Minnesota participated in this lifesaving event. Wave V: (Optional) Focus to be selected · Begins August 20, 2003 through September 11, 2003. · The group will choose if they want to participate in this wave. · The amount of time spent in this wave must be less than in other waves. Seat Belt Violations · Seat belt usage and child restraint seats. · Statewide 74.3% of front seat riders are buckling up. · This percentage has been on the rise for the past 8 years. · We hope to drive this percentage up to 80%. Seat belts are 50% affective in reducing deaths and injuries. When combined with Air Bags it is 60% affective. 2003 Grant Request · Coon Rapids P.D. is the lead agency for this grant. · The Anoka County group received a $25,000.00 grant in late 1999 for 2000 and a second grant in the amount of $26,500.00 for 200 I. · The monies are used to pay officers overtime to enforce traffic laws. · The dollars are divided as equally as possible between the five departments. Why? · 13 Cities with an estimated population of 145,000. · Approx. 1,600 miles of roadway. · Anoka County is ranked as the third worst county for fatalities and personal injury accidents in 1997, 1998 & 1999. · In 2000 Anoka County reported a total of 23 fatalities, 1,744 injury crashes where 2,611 people were injured & 3,187 property damage crashes. Anoka County · Anoka County had a higher average of fatal crashes than the state average in 2000. (Anoka County ranked 85th out of 88 counties, the state median is 44.5.) · However the alcohol related crashes were less than the state average for the first time in several years. This indicates that the program is working. · Anoka County has a higher than state average for non-seat belt use in crashes.(Anoka County ranked 49 out of 88 counties, the state median is 44.) · In 1999 our five agencies arrested 842 intoxicated drivers. · We received a total 1218 citizen reported driving complaints in 1999, up from 1124 complaints in 1998. Traffic complaints are the most often citizen reported problems in all Minnesota agencies. · Traffic safety is a quality of life issue for residents in addition to a safety issue. · The Safe & Sober Program fits in with our C.O.P program. · Safe & Sober is a program that preserves the quality of life within our communities. · We strive to make our streets and highways safer through this program. 4 Minnesota 1985- 1999 DWI & Crash Statistics 1996 - 2000 Fatality Statistics Year Motorcycle Pedeatrtmn Bicyck Total Fatalities 625 34 41 14 1999 1998 199~ 199~ 626 29 41 23 41 $1 58 46 Minnesota Crime Clock ® O Enough is Enough In 1997 there were 112 homicides in Minnesota. · 1998 reported 120 homicides statewide. · 81 of those murders were within the Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Background: Katherine Vesley, President of the Columbia Heights Historical Society, has requested an up front loan from the City to help defray the printing costs of 500 calendars with historical data and pictures of Columbia Heights. (See attached samples) The calendars would sell for $6.00 and the funds would be repaid to the City if and when all calendars are sold, or at some point in the future. The immediate request would be for $956.00 and hopefully be repaid in a short period of time. Recommendation: Direct staff to work with the Historical Society to complete this calendar, with appropriate dates, and loan money needed to print 500 copies for a 2003 calendar.

Columbia Heights,MN 55421 Dear Councilmembers & City Manager, The Columbia Heights Historical Society would like to put together a Calendar for the coming year featuring Historic Photos of the Heights. It would be patterned after the Anoka example and include the schedule of meetings/activities for the Society, City Hall, the Schools and the Community; as well as pertinent phone numbers etc ...... I have enclosed a cost estimate from IPC pdnting for 1,500 Calendars. We have a limited bank account so a $3000 + project is out of the question. We could afford to do a printing of 500 if the City would be willing to pick up half of the cost. The Historical Soc has 96 members and those who renew their membership would receive a calendar. The rest could be sold at $6 each (the Anoka Co Hist Soc wants some) and the money returned to the City. Anything over & above the City investment would go to the Historical Soc Treas. This is a trial project, so we have no information on demand for the Calendar, though our City Manager did say that some places print one instead of a newsletter issue, and the investment for the city is very small ($956). I hope this is reasonably clear, and we would appreciate any help or advice you can offer. Thanks.

Hansen~-~ BY: PROPOSALS DATE: 8/1/0~ DATE: Background: The Park & Recreation Commission directed staffto prepare Request for Proposals (RFP) at their July 2001 regular meeting. Staff prepared and sent out copies of the RFP to eight from, a copy of which is attached. Three proposals were submitted meeting the requirements stated in the RFP. Twenty thousand dollars has been budgeted in the 2002 Public Works Parks budget for this work. Analysis/Conclusions: The intent of a Master Plan for Huset Park is to provide a detailed plan of the entire park to work from. With financial constraints, complete redevelopment of the park is unlikely. Therefore, it is the desire of the Park and Recreation Commission and City Staffto have a detailed working plan to rehabilitate or rebuild elements of the park in phases, as funding becomes available. The Master Plan will also provide cost estimates of each park element or amenity and provide an evaluation of financing options for the short and long term redevelopment plan. A primary component of the plan will include public participation in development and review of site layouts. These will ultimately be narrowed down, refined, and then reviewed by the Park & Recreation Commission for recommendation on to the City Council. An additional component of the plan will be an initial review of the surface hydrology and how those needs, such as storm water ponding, will fit into the park setting. Based upon the final Master Plan, staffhas also requested assistance for the preparation of a grant application to the MNDNR through one of their annual funding programs. Staffhas reviewed each of the proposals and prepared a ranking grid based upon thc criteria given in the RFP. On this basis, city staffand the Park & Recreation Commission are recommending the fu-m of Bonestroo, Rosene and Anderlik (BRA) to complete the Huset park Master Plan. We feel that BRA had the best understanding and approach to the Master Plan project, had excellent references and the best overall and/or related experience in the park planning and master planning as requested in the RFP. BRA has also performed the City's Storm water related engineering over the last 4 years and has performed study in the Van Buren and Huset area. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to accept the proposal from BRA for the Huset Park Master Plan based upon their proposal dated June 28th, 2002, in an amount not exceed $19,467, and furthermore, authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (Short Form) COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA CR 'F_akTION OF A HUSET PARK MASTER PLAN II. INTRODUCTION The City of Columbia Heights is a northern, first ring suburb of Minneapolis. The City is fully developed in an area of approximately 4 square miles with a population of 19,000. The majority of the City contains single family homes, comprising approximately 5,135 parcels, or 64 percent of the total 7,975 parcels. Commercial development is concentrated along Central and University Avenues. Most of Columbia Heights is rolling to hilly terrain with several small lakes and ponds. Fueled by development in the 1960's and 70's, the City became actively involved in the expansion of the Columbia Heights Park System by acquiring "leftover" parcels on land to be developed into City Parks. The City's largest park, Huset Park, is 28 acres in size and in need of complete redevelopment. The City of Columbia Heights is requesting proposals to provide professional services required for creation of a detailed Huset Park Master Plan. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Interested finns should submit their proposal no later than 3:30 P.M. on June 28, 2002 to the Director of Public Works, 637 38th Ave. N.E., Columbia Heights, MN 55J~21. In subnfitting a proposal to provide thc required services, the following is required in order to expedite thc review process by the representatives of the City. The length of the proposal should not exceed 3 pages, excludiug figures, resumes of personnel, finn experience, qualifications, site plmls, etc. The proposal should not contain non-applicable promotional materials and should address only the points requested in this document, including proposed time schedule to complete the work and associated fees. If requested elsewhere in this RFP, provide separate schedules and fees for separate sections of work. A schedule of the most curreut billing rates for individuals involved; this must include a total cost to complete the work in the specified time frame. Four copies of the proposal should be addressed to the Director of Public Works/City Engineer, 637 38th Ave. N.E., Columbia Heights, Minnesota, 55421, to be received by 3:30 P.M. June 28, 2002. If the firm is proposing to use subcontracts, the subcoutractor should be identified along with how the work will be divided. The City of Columbia Heights resen, es the right to reject any proposal that does not comply xvith the requirements of fi.is R.F.P. RFP - HUSET PARK MASTER PLAN Page 2 III. SCOPE OF PRQIECT The City of Columbia Heights desires to create an overall Master Plan to be used for thc redevelopment of Huset Park. This plan will likely be used to focus a staged implementation and financing plan. The plan could possibly include picnic shelters, reconstructed ball fields, paved trails, age delineated play areas, and multiple use areas. A Comprehensive Park System Plan was completed in 1996 for the entire City and is available from the Public Works office for review. The following items will be required as part of this project: A. Huset Park Master Plan Develop a report and site plan that details a process for the City Council to implement a master park plan for Huset Park. The project is to include the necessary site design, layout, detailed amenities, and complete cost estimate for each element of the redevelopment plan of tiffs park. When the plan is completed the City of Columbia Heights should be able to break the development into construction phases and then prepare documents for the "specifications and bidding" process.

Site Specifics The overall existing use of the park is not intended to change. A Master Plan concept is desired for detailed park planning, improve spatial planning and use flow, and City budgeting. It is the City's intent to focus initially on amenity uses such as playgrounds, picnic shelters and wal 'king trails and ultimately on ballficld reconstruction, including softball, soccer, and football. A public facility is also located on the northwestern quadrant of the park, known as Murzyn Hall. This building essentially serves as the Community Center with Recreation, Youth and Senior Citizen Programs run out of this facility, including preschool. The main hall is rented out throughout the year for a variety of activities including weddings and community events. Park Amenities/Uses that will serve or compliment the activities run out of Murzyn Hall must also be taken into consideration. Storm water runoff has been an issue in the general area surrounding Huset Park. The Master Plan should include 'areas' for the ponding of surface water runoff within the park that will have minimum effects on the available play areas. It is not the City's requirement that detailed modeling and storage requirements be conducted under the Master Plan, only that areas be identified (and spatially fitted) that may accom~nodate the drainage area interual to tile park. D. Options Tile consultant shall provide a scparatc cost cstimatc for thc preparation of a grant application to the MNDNR under the 2003 Outdoor Recreation Grant Progran~ for funding assistance.

The City's desire to revitalize this great resource demonstrates your commitment to providing quality recreational amenities for the City's residents. We appreciate the opportunity to help you with this important project. Our firm excels at planning and designing parks and open space facilities - from activity-filled community parks with plaza and picnic areas, playgrounds, and ballfields, to more passive, open- space areas. We are well practiced at designing the architectural components of a successful park, including restrooms and park pavilions. We are also skilled at incorporating stormwater ponds into a park's overall aesthetic theme. Much of the success of our master planning process lies in the fact that we strongly encourage early and on-going communication with the City and its residents. Meetings, open houses and other venues will help us learn what you want to see happen with Huset Park. It will then be our job to interpret and convert those ideas, goals and values into a master plan that is implementable. AnY questions you have regarding our submittal would be welcomed. I can be reached at (651) 604-4852, or through email at cbehringer(_~bonestroo.com. We're excited about the challenges and opportunities this project presents, and we look forward to getting started!

I I I I I I I Project Approa¢i /$¢i e ule Murzyn Hall is the center of the park's activity and includes the recreation office, a rental hall and senior center. Parking requirements must be carefully evaluated to weight normal use with heavy weekend use due to Mu~yn Hall's popularity. City of Columbia Heights Huset Park Master P/an E~ ProJect Understanding The City of Columbia Heights, population ! 9,000, is comprised mostly of young families and seniors. It is a first ring suburb located.lust north of the St. Paul/Minneapolis metro area. Columbia Heights believes in a strong sense of community and prides itself on being a desirable place to live and work. The City of Columbia Heights believes one way to achieve and maintain this goal is to promote parks and trails as essential elements of a broader strategy. The goal is a safe, flexible, and attractive park and open space system based on community characteristics, changing demographics and overall needs. With 28 acres, Huset Park is the largest and most popu(ar of the City's 14 parks. It is because of this starring role that the City is now seeking services for developing a Master Plan for Huset Park. Revitalization and improvement efforts will include the necessary site design, engineering, landscape architecture, phasing, land acquisition possibilities and preliminary cost estimates. Throughout the years, Huset Park has suffered from a lack of maintenance, age, and over use, and it has not been extensively updated in 30 years. Existing amenities are: two play areas lone which is updated for ADA Accessibility) 5 baseball/softball fields - 2 lighted an 1890's skating rink volleyball courts lighted basketball courts; and lighted tennis courts in unusable condition bocce ball and horseshoe courts · a wading pool · warming house a picnic shelter, and four parking lots We have included a graphic at the end of this section that identifies the park's existing conditions, features and surrounding areas. D Project Approach The park's overall existing use will not change, although site planning is intended to improve the spatial planning and use of this park. Improvements that will be looked at in the master plan process are: play area upgrades with age groupings, a look at the current wading pool and continued use or alternate water play use, picnic shelter/picnic open areas, pedestrian trails with connections to City trail system, ballfield reconstruction, youth soccer, youth football and amenities to compliment the uses of Mur-zyn Hall. Appropriately handling stormwater runoff is an issue due to the flat grades within the park. A "big-picture" approach to evaluating the site's hydrology will allow us to identify those areas that may accommodate ponds internally. It is important to address this issue and handle a planned pond as a stormwater detention pond and park amenity. As with any project, communication plays an important role. We will work closely with the City Staff, Park Commission, the Huset Neighborhood and City Council throughout the design process. Key issues for Master Planning the City of Columbia Heights Huset Park include: We'll consider an alternative aquatic experience as the existing wading pool is high maintenance and not compliant with current codes. The park has little slope and poor. draining soils, so runoff issues must be addressed through the park to maximize its use. City of Columbia/-/eights ~ Current recreational needs -- We need to identify the needs of area residents, City Staff 'Vision" and the Park Commission; evaluate facilities already available to meet those needs, and look at long-range acquisitions and determine options. · Analyzing the quail _ty and adequacy of current utilities -- This evaluation should identify the characteristics of existing park utilities and any issues, problems or concerns that affect them. · Inteqrating the new with the existing to remain -- The new site amenities, screening the industrial corridor, and stormwater ponding must be carefully considered to blend with features that will remain. · Priority Phasinq - Developing Huset 'West' as a priority over Huset 'East'; develop park amenities vs. field development. · Public Involvement -- City residents and park neighbors have an interest in the recreational and passive uses of Huset Park and should be actively involved in its evaluation and development. A park identity may be appropriate, keeping in mind the integration of the total park system. · Snort- and long-range facility development and management -- We'll need to prioritize facilities and activities to be developed both in the short and long term. This includes looking at the quality of equipment installed and including their maintenance costs in the City's CIP. · Costs -- We will carefully define the costs for the proposed facilities. Scope and Schedule The following tasks are considered Basic Services to be provided by Bonestroo. Project Initiation We will conduct a kick-off meeting with City Staff to confirm the scope and identify planning issues and needs. IThis could include the Park CommissionJ. We'll also need a Public Information Meeting with Huset Neighborhood Group and interested Columbia Heights Citizens to get their initial thoughts and ideas for the park. Task 1 -- Site Inventory Inventory Existing Physical Conditions -- We will visit the project site, complete a photo inventory, and document all pertinent information in the project area regarding the physical environment. This will provide a convenient tool for the analysis and design process. Review Background Material -- Available background material and past studies relating to the project area will be reviewed and evaluated to identify pertinent data for the project. Prepare Project Area Base Map -- Prepare design backgrounds of project site that accurately depict site features to serve as basis for design. We have assumed that an electronic format survey base of the site will be provided to us. Should an additional topographic survey be required, we can provide this as a Supplemental Service. Task I Deliverables: · Summary of project background materials · Project area base map Task 2 - Site Analysis Evaluate Field Data -- Field data will be evaluated to identify features and forces that affect the project area, including such things as existing site features, existing vegetation, soil erosion, stormwater run-off, utilities, signage, etc. 2 ~ Hu~et Park Master Plan A goal for the masterplan is to reorganize baseball and softball fields and provide additional youth soccer and football fields. The master plan will help decide whether deteriorating park features will be upgrade, or replaced with other antenities. Prepare Site Analysis Plan -- Prepare a site analysis plan depicting critical issues and site forces, and document site features and how they may influence the design efforts to follow. Task 2 Deliverables: · Site Analysis Plan · One meeting with City Staff and Park Commission Task 3 - Design Alternatives for Master Plan Prepare Design ^ltematives -- Prepare three design alternatives for Huset Park based on information gathered and analyzed in Tasks ! and 2, and on the City and Park Commission review process. prepare Preliminary Cost Estimates -- Prepare generalized cost estimates for each of the design alternatives. Present Design Alternatives -- Present design alternatives at an open house, or other format, to the City Staff, Park Commission, the Huset Neighborhood Group and residents. A variety of media, including electronic presentations and detailed sketches, may be used to convey the design alternatives and to solicit input. , Task3 Deliverables.' · Two meetings with City Staff and Park Commission , One open house meeting with Huset Neighborhood Group and residents Three design alternatives Preliminary cost estimates for all three alternatives Task 4 - Final Master Plan Prepare Final Master Plan -- Incorporate comments into a preferred design alternative, update cost estimates, and provide recommendations for implementation, financing and phasing. Presentation and Reviews -- First, present the final master plan to City Staff and the Park Commission, then present to City Council for approval. Task 4 Deliverables.' One 24" x 36" rendered site plan and additional renderings created through out process, (not to exceed three). · Three copies of other documents used through out the Master Plan Process. One meeting with City of Columbia Heights Park Commission, final review and presentation. ~ Presentation of Master Plan to City Council for approval. E3 Huset Park Master Plan Meetings /X/e have planned for five review meetings with City Staff and Park Commission during the Master Plan process.

Neshotah Park Master Plan Two I?ivers, MN LAKE Master Plan Blends New Recreational Amenities and Restores Ecological Balance to Popular Lakeside Park Neshotah Park is the City's primary community park located along Lake Michigan. About 15 years ago, sand dunes and accompanying vegetation were removed to provide a better view of the lake. ~v'ith nothing now between the beach front and neighboring residential areas, it is important that the balance between the land and park elements be evaluated to restore an ecological balance. The City chose Bonestroo to complete a Master Plan study that would address several concerns, including: · Impact of wind and erosion on the shoreline · Improved activities area · Traffic levels · Links to the community · Land management · Operational efficiencies and revenue potential · Environmental education opportunities · Fundraising opportunities Through a design charette process, Bonestroo developed five alternative concept plans for the City to review. Each shows a different way to blend traffic circulation, access roads, parking, entry features, restored rock gardens, trails, tennis courts, horseshoe pits, ball fields and picnic areas. The ultimate goal will be to narrow this focus to a design that will provide an attractive environmental and creational asset for the community.

To improve safety along the popular existing trail, Bonestroo recommends providing a separate trail for bikes and pedestrians wherever feasible. Play structures will be updated, ball fields will be re-oriented to accommodate new soccer fields, volley ball courts will be moved out of the children's play area and close to the beach, and the tennis courts will be replaced, and open space will be re-graded to accommodate passive and active recreational activities. Vegetation along the lake's edge has not been maintained. Under Bonestroo's plan, vegetation overtaking the shoreline will be removed, opening a path to the lake's beautiful view. Streambank stabilization work will protect and maintain the lake's shoreline. being outside. One planned feature, the "ski-swing" duplicates the action of a real slalom course. Periodic meetings with neighbors and members of the NRP committee and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board built consensus and support for the project. The improvements will be carried out in four phases. The first phase, being completed with a S500,000 Neighborhood Revitalization Program grant, will include the playground area. Subsequent phases will be constructed as funding becomes available: · Phase two will include trails, lighting and landscaping. · Phase three will involve the park building, which will house park programs, a meeting room, offices and a child play area. · The fourth phase will involve construction of the soccer and softball fields, and tennis and volleyball courts.

Bonestroo was chosen to design new soccer, softball and baseball fields for this popular park. Spectator seating and lighting will enhance the environment, particularly for tournaments. Additional land is being purchased to alleviate the current cramped conditions and better accommodate this new design. The park ~s surrounded by homes, making it essential that improvements make the park a "good neighbor." Earth berms, fencing, additional trash receptacles and landscaping will help to minimize noise levels and keep the park clean and attractive to users and neighbors.

Playground area. gL~alce I¥/awarha $choo/ Far/< nestroo, I?osene, ,~nder//k and As~ocia£es, /nc. Minneapolis, MN Our job here was to design a Pre-K and a totally handicapped-accessible K-5 age group playground -- the first of its kind by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. The existing Pre-K area at Hiawatha School was outdated; the splintering wood equipment no longer met code. The new park was built in a safe location further from a parking lot nestled among existing shade trees. New play equipment offers fun and challenges appropriate for the age group. Seating, a game table and pergola with glider bench complement the area. To be able to claim 100 percent accessibility, the K-5 play area needed to offer a range of play activities similar to children of varying abilities. A ramp and berm system constructed of a resilient rubberized play surface runs throughout the area's multiple play levels. At ground level, chitdren can access swings, the track ride, and the ship (chosen for the park's proximity to the Mississippi River or other freestanding climbing features by moving across the engineered wood fiber mulch. Grade changes let kids pick different routes through the play structures while traveling over clatter bridges, through tunnels and down slides. The structure height varies from 12 inches to 7.5 feet. Significantly, many features intended for those with disabilities contribute to a safer and more user-friendly play structure. One unique feature is a "sensory walk" designed to stimulate the senses within a focused environment for those with mobility limitations. Walking across various sections of colored and printed concrete create different tactile experiences. Handrails alternate between smooth, chain and wire sections. Auditory stimuli include a gong, talking tubes and an interactive musical feature called tap-a-tune. Surrounding trees and plants offer aesthetic value, shade and a great fragrance. Seating placed throughout the sensory walk allows users to pause and just enjoy the area. Public participation was a key part of this project's success. Our landscape architects began with neighborhood meetings to hear ideas and concepts for the new playground that were later incorporated into the design whenever possible. Park Master Plan Elgin, MN Preliminary Park Plan Guides City's Land Purchase A desire to hold state-sanctioned softball tournaments and a willingness to contribute "sweat equity" are bringing a new park facility to the popular summer recreational community of Elgin. When 65 acres of agricultural land were offered for sale just south of the City, the City Council formed a committee to examine the possibility of constructing a recreation and camping area on the parcel. Their park amenity wish list included construction of a pond or lake, three lighted softball fields suitable for state-sanctioned tournaments, basketball and volleyball courts, a picnic shelter, camping facilities, concession stand and restrooms. But before they bought the land, they needed to know if they could afford to build the park. Bonestroo's recreation team completed a preliminary concept plan that gave the Council the information it needed to make the decision to buy. The plan clearly spelled out the City's options, offered ideas for outside schematic layout designating where each desired amenity would fit. Following the land purchase, Bonestroo prepared a final concept plan and cost estimates, which the City is using to apply for grants. That plan includes soil borings, surveying, locating the area's 100-year flood elevation, and extensive hydraulic evaluations to determine the feasibility of constructing a pond. As an added benefit, the new park will actually help protect the trout habitat in the Whitewater River, which bisects the site. Changing the land use from agricultural to recreational will reduce farm fertilizer runoff, protecting the stream's water quality. A new 30-foot- wide vegetation buffer will line the stream's edge, naturally filtering runoff from the new ball fields and park. The growing vegetation will also provide shade that will help stabilize the river's water temperature and better support the trout. agency funding, included the concept of local volunteer ~1~ Bonestroo labor in lieu of matching funds, and provided a draft Rotcene ]~ik& A~odate~ E~lneets & Architect~ Hamel Park Design and Development Plan Medina, MN N RO ~.D ROCKTO . FITNESS 'TRAIL Community's Involvement Helps Define and Construct Neighborhood Park I~ecognizing the area's lack of park and recreational facilities, the City of Medina acquired and proposed development of a 3S-acre parcel of property on the east side of the community. Bonestroo created a Design and Development Plan for a neighborhood and community park that would provide several varied recreational facilities. Proposed improvements, developed in part through a community survey, include: · Four multi-use softball/baseball fields · Basketball/tennis court area · Ice skating areas · Playground with play structures · Sliding hill · Open play field · Parking lots · Concession/restroom building and meeting/ community building Drainage problems required that special attention be paid to the orientation of the park's features and the storm sewer layout. Two water detention ponds will treat runoff from the increased impervious surfaces. The majority of the work, including plans and specs, storm sewer, grading work, and construction of most of the amenities was completed with extensive help from volunteers. The warming house and tennis and basketball courts will be constructed in Phase 2. · Natural open and wooded areas with interpretive I area and a fitness trail ~1~ Bonestroo Picnic area I Dorothy Mary Park Improvements New Hope, MN Neighbors Help Protect rtare Natural I esource Dorothy Mary Park is a special resource for the City of New Hope and particularly for adjacent homeowners. Donated to the City, the park includes 6.5 acres of high-quality oak woodlands and wetlands, and features a beautiful display of woodland wildflowers in the spring. The park's ponds also provide habitat for ducks. Over the years, the quality of the park's natural resources and its structures, including stairs, trails and storm sewer infrastructure, have declined, The challenge was to preserve and enhance the park while adhering to the donor's stipulation that the park remain "natural." We worked with the City and park neighbors to create and implement a park master plan. Strategies were to: I Improve stormwater management to enhance wetland quality · Remove exotic species such as buckthorn in the oak I woodland to its quality and to allow native protect vegetation to bloom Establish a planting plan to be implemented by City I Staff and volunteers Bonestroo staff helped the City obtain a Conservation Partners Grant from the Department of Natural Resources to pay for the buckthom removal and planting materials. The park now has a new dock, stairway, pond outlet and several boardwalks. Designed with natural materials, these amenities reflect the park's character and require minimal maintenance. Where terrain dictated, new structures were designed to protect trails, slopes and ponds from erosion. Park neighbors participated in several meetings to determine appropriate management goals and to choose design options for the plan. Neighbors also donated time for planting. The "new" park has received enthusiastic reviews from neighbors, City Staff and students from nearby Meadow Lake Elementary School who use the park for environmental education, Bonestroo Engineers & Architects Sports Center West St. Paul, MN Severe Elevation Differences Posed Unique Design Challenges Elevation differences of up to 4-0 feet posed unique design challenges on this facility's 20-acre site. ~'orking with the existing topography, designers used a terracing system to build football, soccer and baseball fields into the hillsides. This process minimized the effects of the severe existing topography and enabled the City's program to fit on the site. The park includes: · ' Horseshoe court pavilion sheltering 12 pitching courts · ~[/alking trails · Three fenced baseball fields · Two football/soccer fields · Separate restroom/concession/storage building for each ballfield · Picnic and playground areas The park sports outdoor lighting for all baseball fields ~1~ and perimeter fencing.

Severe changes in elevation throughout the park provided a design challenge for the four miles of paved walking/biking/cross country ski trails. Design plans also focused on modifications that incorporated and maintained the site's natural resources and abundant forest area. Special attention was also given to the installation of a sand blanket on the lake floor in the swimming area. This process used available stable soils to cover the beach and swimming area, cutting excavation costs and minimizing the disruption to aquatic life. Park features include: · Picnic shelter with restrooms · Four miles of walking/biking/cross country ski trails · 300-foot sandy beach and bathhouse · Two sand volley ball courts A boat launch and fishing pier are planned but not yet constructed. Ojib way Park IX/oodbury, MN OJIBWAY PARK MASTER PLAN Park Master Plan Addresses Passive and Active Recreational Activities Centrally located, this 120-acre park is the largest in the City. Half of the park is dedicated to a nature interpretive area and scenic wildlife pond, all accessible through a series of trails. The balance of the park is devoted to active recreational uses designed by Bonestroo, including: · Eight softball/baseball fields · Park and recreation building · Parking lot and access roads Park improvements added: · Paved and grass trails · Three parking lots · Four soccer fields · Three sand volleyball courts · ,~ picnic shelter and area The City also installed a play area with playground equipment and outdoor ice rinks.

Park Master Plan Addresses "Hard" and "Soft" Recreational Surfaces The master plan for this 15-acre park emphasized the creation of two distinct and separate park environments--"hard" and "soft" surfaces. In the park's "soft" environment, intermediate soccer fields are laid out for fall play across the existing softball fields. Hiking and cross- country trails traverse the park and are designed to connect with future adjacent developments. A major trail overlook provides a view of a natural pond that becomes a hockey rink in winter. Another area is flooded for pleasure skating, and a warming house serves both rinks. An access road routes traffic to the "hard" environment on the park's north side. Here, visitors enjoy tennis and basketball courts designed by Bonestroo. Hillsides and trees provide a wind break and natural landscaping for the section's picnic shelter and children's play area. En~neers & A~chltect~ ~a~eball Grandstand Delano, MN Grandstand Provides Focal Point For Baseball Games and Community Events This 510-seat structure, designed by Bonestroo, replaced the City's original wood frame grandstand that deteriorated as a result of poor soil conditions. Primary users include youth and city softball and baseball ~ leagues. The grandstand serves as the ~'~ ~ center of activity at the community's annual Fourth of July celebration. ~ Because of its location in a flood ~J-~ ~ plain, Bonestroo designers built the ~ new structure on pilings. Durability and stability are further enhanced by its new masonry and steel-frame construction. A concession area is tucked under the bleachers, where there is also space for adding future restrooms. A roof provides coverage over 70 percent of the seats, including areas accessible to disabled spectators. The structure also meets Americans With Disabilities Act {ADAJ requirements for restrooms, ramps, parking facilities and water fountains. I Engineers & Architects Lakeffont Park Hudson, Band Shell Anchors Scenic River's Edge Par/( A bath house and band shell serve as prominent features on this five-acre park nestled along the shores of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. Designed as an echo of the original WPA bath house, the new structure incorporates the shape, colors and materials used in the 1930s version. Similarly, the shape of the park's new band shell mirror's the facility's original stone arch entryway. Because of the park's location along a designated scenic waterway, modifications had to follow Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources stringent guidelines that ensured the added park facilities blended with the native landscape. On this project, color schemes had to reflect hues found in nature, and care was taken to remove endangered aquatic life before putting in the sand beach. Other park features include a picnic area near the river's boating activities. Play areas for children are adjacent to the picnic area. For those looking for a more serene park experience, approximately two miles of decoratively lit trails wind along the river's edge. The north end of the trail is designed to eventually tie into the City's trail system.

What started as a request from a neighborhood association to provide more of an identity to a City park developed into a project to provide splash pads for six parks located throughout the City. Splash pads (also referred to as aquatic playgrounds, splash grounds, zero-depth pools and spray parks) are water play areas where water sprays, squirts, mists or sheets from water features and then drains before it accumulates. Water activation can be automated with timers, motion sensors, or interactive activation. Approximately two years ago, a City Alderman and a neighborhood association began working with the City Parks, I~ecreation and Forestry Department to develop a splash pad. When other alderman and city residents learned of the proposed project they became excited and wanted splashpads n their neighborhoods, so the project eventually grew to six parks. Bonestroo was hired to design the splash pads, two of which are replacing existing pools. We worked with the City and residents to develop themes for each park, which are: · Seymour Park - "Town Square" · Fisk Park - "Diamond-Play" · Fort Howard Park- "International/Globe" Eastman Park - "Flower & Fun" · Bay View Park - "Stepping Stones" · Farlin Park - "Star Fish" Once themes were established, final construction documents were developed. Each theme was further developed through: · The size and shape of each pad · The use of different dyed concrete sections · Selected water spray features Splash pads are relatively new to the aquatic scene. They offer the benefit of needing minimal supervision and can be much lower in capital and operating costs than a traditional swimming or wading pools. Other current facilities in Wisconsin are in Milwaukee and the Wisconsin Dells.

Project Understanding and Approach 1. Project Understanding and Approach PROJECT APPROACH TASKS Information and data gathering L'RS The CiD, of Columbia Heights has requested cousultant sen'ices for the preparation ora Master Plan Concept for Huset Park. As the largest and most well known park in Columbia Heights. Huset Park is heavily used for both active and passive recreation. These activities range from quiet picnics, to organized sports activities, to annual events such as parades and carnivals. Park improvelnents over the years have been minimal and done without a master plan for guidance. At present the park is in obvious need of redevelopment.. Some use areas may need to be redefined. A comprehensive circulation system is needed to help provide a sense of order and sequence to the park's spaces and activities. Integrating the surrounding neighborhood into that system while respecting and defining park edges would enhance the neighborhood park experience. The need for a plan to improve access and parking is evident. Park amenities are in need of upgrading. This planning process and the ultimate design will provide the opportuniu' for Huset Park to become the park system model for civic identity and high quali~' recreation experiences in Columbia Heights. The following objectives will guide our approach to this project: · Build upon the existing positive aspects of the park. · Anticipate aqd provide for future ,heeds and demands (which may include property acquisition). · Enhance Huset Park's identity as well as the identity of the City of Columbia Heights. · Provide a plan that is sustainable and maintainable. · P,.espond to commu,fity characteristics and demographics. · Integrate Husct Park into the City's water management strateg3,. · Make the design process an enjoyable and meaningful oue. We e,~joy working with a broad spectrum of the public throughout the planning process, recognizing that the goals of Cit-5, Staff and various segments of the public often differ xvidely. The alternatives xve develop will demonstrate that xve have heard the ideas and concerns of interested parties, and will find compronfises m an effort to build support. UP,.S will facilitate a kick-offmeeting xvith the Parks Department Staff, Conm~unitT Center Staff, and Huset Park Neighborhood Group representatives. The purpose of this meeting xvill be to familiarize UKS ~vith Huset Park Master Plan City qf Columbia Hcight.~ Project Understanding and Approach Comi.ued Preliminary Site Layout Public Information meeting Final Site Layout Plan Council Review the park and discuss the strategy for completing the project. At this meeting UKS will acquire all base mapping, survey data, air photos, utilities, stonnwater data, and other pertinent background infom~ation available from City Staff. URS will also facilitate discussions on the public perception of the park, and how it fits into its neighborhood, citT, and park system context. Based on the infom~ation gathered in task one, a base map ,graphic will be prepared which illustrates all existing conditions, issues and constraints. In addition to the "Issues and Constraints" diagram, UIKS will develop 2-3 alternative site layout plans. Rough cost estimates xvill also be prepared for the alternatives. A design workshop will then be held with interested members of the Park and Recreation Conmfission, the Parks Department and Community Center Staff, and the Huset Neighborhood Group. This workshop will claritY,' the important issues and ,give everyone a chance to share his or her ideas. At the end of the workshop, a preferred alternative will be constructed. Ut~.S will then update the 1996 Park Plau as necessary. A public open house would be held to solicit comments from interested citizens. Graphics depicting the alternatives, the design process, and the preferred alternative would be displayed. Written comments xvould be taken as xvell as verbal conm~euts at the various display stations. Questions and concerns would be addressed infonnally at this meeting and taken into consideration during the refinement of the preferred alternative. UIKS will finalize the prcffrred alternative plan and prepare a detailed cost estimate for the overall project. Three perspective sketches xvill also be done to illustrate the character and use of the park. These xvill be presented at a fourth meeting with Park aud tKecreation Commission members, Parks Department and Comnmnit3,' Center Staff, and the Huset Park Group. Finance options will also be discussed and evaluated at this meeting. The final site layout plan will be discussed and any changes deemed necessary xvill be made before presenting the final plan to City. Council. The final layout design and financing options will be presented to CitT Council for revie~v and approval at a regular Council meeting or at a separate meeting if desired. If Council Members have any issues or concerns, UlkS xvill make the necessary adjustments or changes to the plan.

This 40-acre park, in the heart of the community also contains the City H;fll, conununity center, police department, water ~vorks and high school. The northern portion of the park was a former city hndfill site. Working ~vith the committee, the landscape architects crafted a master plan to balance the need for formal, active recreation facilities with the demands for passive recreation and natural habitat enhancements. Since the plan ~vas adopted by the City Council in 1998, a treatment ~vetland, six tennis courts, a parking area and t~vo nexv playgrounds have been constructed. Future improvements include new baseball and soccer riel&, a third playground, a multi-use trail system and extensive ornamental and natural lan&cape treatments. ~JR$ 20~03 McCuliou§h Park Shoreview, Minnesota URS' team of planners and landscape architects prepared the preliminary and final design for the construction of McCullough Park, while UPaS engineers prepared final construction plans and specifications and performed field staking and comtruction inspection services. To obtain permits from numerous government agencies, UteS developed plans that reduced wetland impacts and provided on-site mitigation to offset wetland loss where it could not be avoided. Development of McCullough Park included t~vo irrigated 300-foot base- ball fields, an irrigated soccer field, a lighted hockey rink and warming house, two tennis courts, a basketball court, a picnic shelter and construction of hiking trails throughout the park. ~J~ 19611(2039) Bucher Park Shoreview, Minnesota Bucher Park is one of Shoreview's oldest parks. It pre-dates the City's Park and Recreation Department, which began in 1972.The east and south sides of this 15-acre park border on Kerry Lake, an artificial lake. URS completed the design for a complete reconstruction of Bucher Park. UtKS engineers prepared final construction plans and specifications and provided field staking and construction inspection services. Development of Bucher Park included two irrigated softball riel&, two tennis courts, a basketball court, a lighted hockey rink, walking paths, picnic grounds and shelters, playground equipment, a general skating area, and a volleyball court area. ~(~JNTY ROAD~J I KERRY LAKE / CURS 19609(2040) Shoreview Commons Park Shoreview, Minnesota Shoreview planners wanted this forty- acre park to serve as a major recreational area for the city as well as provide residents with a sense of community. UPaS landscape architects and planners prepared the preliminary and final design for Shoreview Commons Park. UPaS engineers then provided final construction plans, field staking and construction inspection services. Development of the park included three irrigated ball fields, two tennis courts, a basketball court, soccer field, and volleyball court. The improvements also included a major storm water detention pond and bituminous trails throughout the active area of the park. ~RS 1 ~.10(2038) Centennial Lakes Central Park City of Edina, Minnesota Centennial Lakes Central Park was developed by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Edina as part of the 90-acre Centennial Lakes Master Plan Community. UPaS was hired to provide pond and park design for the central third parcel of this development in relation to the overall park development standards and for regional stormwater management. Adjacent uses to the park include three story condominiums, two level mixed retail, and aesthetically appealing four lane divided city streets. UI~S task was to integrate a future path for a rubber tire tram, create ponding for stormwater storage, provide an area for winter skating, design a multi-use summer events/warming house building, an outdoor stage event area, integrate activities for park users, create memorable elements and spaces in relation to its adjacent uses, and provide connections in and out of the park. ~JRS 2~231 Centennial Lakes Central Park City of Edina, Minnesota Many elements of the park make this bustling park attractive. The primary focus for this central parcel was to create different and unique recreation activities. The primary use involves the implementation of an amphitheater that accommodates about 2,500 listeners. Other unique activities include a natural turf putting golf course, croquet, lawn bowling, paddleboats, and model sailboat racing. The Park Centrum building not only houses park staff, but is also used as rental event space during the summer and is a log fire warming house during the winter. The pond is mechanically maintained to provide a smooth surface covering the entire pond. Park users will find water fountains at the plaza in fi'ont of the Park Centrum as they enter this attractive park. With the use of decorative pavement, ornamental lighting, outdoor musical speakers, a variety of seating, and lush landscaping, the other portions of Central Park creates special spaces that pedestrians find as they stroll through the park. Heritage Trail Dubuque, Iowa UPaS prepared a master plan, prelim- inary and final designs, landscape architecture and signage plans and cost estimates for Heritage Trail, a 10-mile bicycle trail across Dubuque and along the Mississippi P~iverfront. W'mding through historic neighborhoods and the central business district, the trail is on-street with striped lanes and pathfinder signs. Off-road segments provide splendid views of the Mississippi River as it follows the top of the levee, ~vhich will be ~videned to accommodate bicyclists,joggers, and walkers. Spurs lead to the marina, parks, the lock and dam, and Greyhound Island. UR.S also prepared a detailed alter- natives analysis, design criteria for the trail and signs, and illustrations of several trail segments. L,nnd~eptng Improvemefl~s k~e H~bor ~JRS ~9~22(1064) Illinois Humboldt Greenway Minneapolis, Minnesota Revitalization Project Hennepin Community Works, a multi-agency group, commissioned UIKS to undertake the Humboldt Greenway. The project is a compo- nent of Community Work's mission to revitalize city neighborhoods through a combination of open- space investment, public infrastruc- ture improvements, and housing replacement. The project's specific goal was to reverse declining property values in the Camden area of north Minneapolis. The Humboldt Greenway Plan identified the following key elements: · a parkway-styled roadway for the length of Humboldt Avenue, similar in character to the City's renowned Grand Rounds parkway system; extending that system and integrating the road with adjacent parks and open space; · lateral roadway, bikeway, and walkway connections linking the Greenway to community schools and parks, and future regional open space along the Mississippi R. iver; · the creation ora 'central green' space bringing parklands and creek views closer to housing redevelopment sites; · improvements to Shingle Creek, enhancing its aesthetic features and water quality through increased meandering, created wetlands, pooling, and riffles; and · housing redevelopment and replacement opportunities adjacent to the Greenway for a variety of new housing types that neighborhoods desire. ~tJRS 9723(2083) The final design was created within the context ora series of large and small group neighborhood meetings, culminating in two commu- nitywide open houses to review and comment on alternative pre- liminary and final plans. r Chain of Lakes laster Pla n Minneapolis, Minnesota The Chain of Lakes is an historic, 1,016-acre regional park system that includes five lakes, a 25-mile parkway, bicycle and pedestrian paths, formal gardens, wildlife sanctuaries, picnic areas, beaches, boating and landscaped open space. The Chain of Lakes is of vital importance to the city and serves as the major focal point for a number of residential neighborhoods. UI:kS landscape architects, planners and engineers worked with Michael Van Valken- burgh in the creation of a new master plan for the renovation of this regional park system. The design involved parkway route alternatives, traffic calming techniques, recreation planning, environmental design, and renovation of plazas and pedestrian/ bicycle paths. UR.S prepared design alternatives and presentation graphics and facilitated the public participation program, which ultimately arrived at an approved master plan. ~ B~,ing paths BM Vegetative filters ~JRS 19605(2075) Lake Harriet and Lake Minneapolis, Minnesota Lake Harriet and Lake Calhoun are the two largest lakes within the historic Minneapolis Chain of Lakes park system. The lakes and their surrounding park- ways are of vital importance to the city and serve as focal points for the adjacent residential neighborhoods. URS assembled a team of landscape architects, biologists, surveyors and engineers to develop and implement the improvements identified in the Chain of Lakes Master Planning study. This ~vork included creating new subsurface and surface storm~vater treatment, conducting shoreline stabilization improvements, reconstructing and enlarging pedestrian and bicycle trails, creating new boat launches, expanding the bandstand and refectory plazas and seating area.s, renovating several historic restroom structures, and re-establishing native plant communities. Calhoun Improvements ~,JR$19706(2060} Parks and Recreation URS has provided recreational master planning and site planning services to a variety of public- and private-sector clients for more than 25 years. Through this experience, we have come to realize that each project and each client is truly unique, with its own specific interests. A successful recreational project brings together these diverse interests to arrive at solutions that serve many, while imposing rnininul impact to the surrounding neighborhoods. Recreational planning and design require an understanding of the interaction between people and their environment. Because of this, URS works closely with users of the recreational enviromnent and those potentially i~npacted by the location and use of the recreational facilities throughout the design process. ~URS 4005 URS' approach to the planning of recreational resources involves a unique perspective; we look beyond the the needs of the present, creating a fi'amework to guide future development. URS' interdisciplinary approach ensures that these needs are met with creative, cost-effective solutions. U1KS maintains a staff of highly qualified and experienced planners, designers, and environmentalists to address all types of recreational issues.

The resulting plan will then be based on analysis that is readily understood; decisions will be acceptable to a wide range of interests; and the final outcome will be practical and able to be implemented. RANGE OF CLIENTS: Although nearly every project involves participation and consensus building, certain planning or design situations have brought out the best in our skills: major transportation projects, sensitive natural resources (especially water or wetlands), downtown, central city neighborhoods, and urban fringe counties. TECHNIQUES: UP,~S project managers seek to generate new alternatives that satisfy apparently divergent interests and offer "win-win" solutions. Through our broad experience, we have learned hoxv to use a variety of methods to facilitate involvement and agreement, and we can tailor a program for each client's needs. 5. Fees '1'!

The 28-acre park is the largest in the City and is in need of complete redevelopment. The first stage of this redevelopment process is to prepare a Master Plan that will guide the City and enable them to complete future improvement projects in an organized, phased manner that fits the City's capital improvement schedule. The staff at Short Elliott Hendrickson (SEH) is very excited about the Huset Park project and would like to help the City succeed. We understand hoxv the City is trying to improve its image for the future as demonstrated on Central Avenue. We want to be a part of your team working with the city and the community to develop the Huset Park Master Plan that meets your needs, enhances your environment, and can be efficiently and cost effectively constructed in phases. The reconstruction of Huset Park with the improvements to Murzyn Hall, the Community Center anchoring the northwest side of the park, will enhance your effort to build a strong civic image. Our SEH team of landscape architects, engineers, surveyors, and community development financial experts consistently works in a team environment. We have planned and constructed dozens of parks in the metropolitan area and understand how to make a project work for a community. We believe in our mission statement "superior client service all of the time" and guarantee that this is the kind of service you will receive during the master planning process through construction of the improvements. Our goal is to meet your goals and to assist the City of Columbia Heights in developing a Master Plan for Huset Park. The master plan will improve the use of space, integrate the activities in the park so they compliment the activities that occur at Murzyn Hall, incorporate site design and layout, detail amenities, provide for stormwater improvements, identify land that could be acquired for the park, and identify phased projects that can be implemented strategically. Financial strategies to complete park improvements will be recommended. Other funding sources that we could pursue are with the Metropolitan Council, the Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCMR), the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LAWCON) and the DNR Outdoor Recreation Grant program. This proposal includes a cost to complete the Master Plan and the cost to complete a grant application to the MnDNR for a phase one improvement at Huset Park. The SEH Team looks forward to working with the City of Columbia Heights, and its citizens, master planning Huset Park. We look forward to hearing from you.

Landscape architects partnered with civil engineers and wetland ecologist to make an aesthetically pleasing and functional wetland. The pond improves water quality and provides important wildlife habitat. The reconfigured park meets community needs, creating a sense of vested ownership. The adjacent school's spatial requirements were integrated with those of the recreating public. A clear sense of entry with demarcated boundaries between activities creates a sense of place. By involving the public, understanding community concerns, comprehending the environmental regulations guiding engineering requirements, and by satisfying recreational demands, SEH and the City created a park that is the premiere attraction and community asset in East Bloomington.

It provided more benefits than just the intended wetland mitigation. It offered rate control and water quality treatment for the incoming runoff, along with being an environmental addition to the neighborhood with a walking trail around the wetland. There are two smaller sedimentation ponds opposite corners of the site, collecting runoff before it discharges into the wetland. One pond was designed to hold five feet of water, while the other pond was designed to hold seven feet of water. The primary wetland is designed to hold approximately a foot of water. To construct a more natural wetland, a dozer was used to create small undulations in the wetland bottom. These waves were created to promote diversity in the vegetation, and are less than one foot in height and depth. Over 11,000 cubic yards of material was excavated from the site to create this 1.8 acre mitigation project.

COLUMBIA HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: August 5, 2002 AGENDA SECTION: ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER'S NO: Community Development APPROV. A:k~ ITEM: Single-Family Home 4828 5t~ Street BY: Robert Streetar BY:~./~ DATE: August 1, 2002 BACKGROUND: On July 18, the City received a letter from resident Michael Hyduke who lives at 4824 5t~ Street northeast. He states the home located at 4828 5th Street is in a constant state of disrepair. He states he would like the City to purchase the home, have it demolished, and have a new home built in its place. Please find attached Mr. Hyduke's letter. Staffhas only had the opportunity to do minimal investigation, but found that the sale price of the home would be $118,000 and that with the necessary rehab once completed, could resell the home for $150,000. Mr. Hyduke's request raises a larger issue of how should the City respond to homes that are in a significant state of disrepair and need either significant rehab or to be demolished. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Council: · Not spend its scarce resources, needed for higher priorities, to purchase and resell homes. · Direct staff to further investigate Mr. Hydukes request. Direct staffto meet with the Greater Minnesota Housing Corporation (GMHC) to develop some feasible options to Mr. Hydukes request as well as the larger issue of how to address homes in significant disrepair or in need of demolition. As Council members recall GHMC is a non-profit agency that provides rehab and many other kinds of financial and technical assistance to homeowners. Attachments: Letter fi.om Mr. Michael Hyduke COUNCIL ACTION: h:\Consent2OO2\CL 4828 5en Street July 18, 2002 MICHAEL .IT[...Y..D..U..KE Columbia Heights city Council: 'Gary Peterson, Mayor Bruce Nawrocki Marlaine Szurek Bobby Williams Julienne Wyckoff Dear Mayor and Council Members, My name is Michael Hyduke and since March 1974, I have been living a~ a renter and later as owner at 4824 Fifth Street in Columbia Heights. Although I first moved here in 1974, my connection to this address goes back to July 1968 when a sister purchased the newly built home and I later took ownership in February 1987. My purpos~ is writing is to deal with some concems I have about what the future holds for the house next door at 4828 Fifth Street. I understand that the present owner is relocating because of a job change and will need to dispose of this property. I also understand that the City of Columbia Heights may purchase the property, rehab it and then resell it. I strongly believe it would be a major mistake to rehab this house for the following reasons. First, the 4828 house has been in a constant state of disrepair since I first began my observations in 1974. The previous long-term owner performed no real repair. It was a patch-as-needed mentality which I could provide examples of if you should desire. When that owner decided to sell, I talked to him about talking to the City about having the City buy his house. His response was "Oh, I sure hope they take it!" That tells it all. As it turn&d Out, they somehow found a i:eal estateagent who actually sold the house' to an Unsuspecting young lady with two teenage boys. That person soon found the cost of maintenance was so high that she put it up for Post Office Box 580643 · Minneanoli~. Minnegnra e;qziqR sale during the winter even though huge icicles from the uninsulated roof were clearly visible as potential buyers came to inspect the house. The current resident at 4828 took ownership with the full intention of doing some rehabilitation. I believe they came to the conclusion that this house has served its useful purpose and it would take too much money to make it truly habitable. My second major reason against rehabilitating this house is more personal to me because the house literally sits on my lot line. (The eaves encroach about six inches into my yard.) This has been a source of aggravation to all parties involved including rnyself and the two previous owners and the current owner of 4828. To make matters worse, the two latest owners were not informed of the lot line problem until I told them about it. And when my sister first bought the house in 1968, Sexter Realty did not tell her about it until the sale was closed. I would not normally buy a house with lot line problems but did agree to acquire it since it was owned by a sister. I have always felt that because of the condition of 4828, it would be like a crime to permit an unsuspecting buyer to acquire this house. It is gratifying to know that the City of Columbia Heights is looking into this problem. It would be even more gratifying if the City would demolish the house and have a new house built and properly situated. This would remove a major irritation for the present and future owners of 4824 and 4828. This is an excellent opportunity for you to correct a long-standing error. Thanks very much for your consideration. Sincerely, 4824 Fifth Street N.E. Columbia Heights, MN CITY COUNCIL LETTER MEETING OF: AUGUST 12, 2002 AGENDA SECTION: WORK SESSION ORIGINATING DEPT: CITY MANAGER DISCUSSION DOCUMENT FINANCE APPROVAL NO: ITEM: PURCI--IASE OF PROPERTXlr ON BY: WILLIAM ELRITE B Y~/~ ~ UNIVERSITY AVENUE AND 53P'~ STREET FOR A LIQUOR STORE DATE: 07/31/2002 NO: As a follow-up to our previous meetings and discussions with the Solz brothers of TGS Partnership, staff is proposing to purchase the property at 53rd and University Avenue for a new liquor store. TGS Partnership, who was hired by the City in September of 2001, has researched several possible properties on University Avenue. At the present time, the owner of the Texaco Station on 53ra and University has indicated a willingness to sell his property. In addition to this, the Solz brothers have spoken with the owner of the adjacent building which houses a laundromat, a beauty shop, and the business offices for Galaxy Auto. The combination of these two properties would provide an excellent location for a new liquor store on University Avenue. The Texaco Station alone would provide a minimum amount of property for a liquor store. We could utilize this property by itself but we would have a limited amount of parking and the building design would be longer, narrower and less desirable. Subsequently, it is staff's recommendation to authorize the Solz brothers to pursue acquiring both properties. In relationship to acquiring this property, Larry Scott, Liquor Operations Manager, has done a rough site drawing that would indicate that on the Texaco property alone, we could have approximately 20 parking spots. However, Larry was vague as to the City requirements on setbacks and other crucial items. In reviewing this with the Community Development Department, Bob Streetar suggested that we hire a professional planner from an outside consulting firm to perform a formal site plan. If the council desires, we can hire a professional planning firm to complete a formal site plan. From a financial standpoint, relocating and building a new store on University Avenue could reduce net profits for the liquor operation. This is due to the low overhead and operating expenses of the current store, which is fully depreciated. However, the offset to this is that we definitely need a larger, better-designed facility on University Avenue to accommodate our level of business. Also, when the new Fridley store opened approximately two years ago, we did experience a significant decline in business. Staff feels that we could recover a considerable amount of this business with a new, more modem facility. This recovered business could greatly offset the additional costs of the new facility. Staffwill be available at the work session to discuss this item in greater detail. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Work session discussion only.

THE TWO PARCELS ARE BOTH 80' ON THE FRONTAGE ROAD. THE BUILDING PRESENTLY IS 3600 SQUARE FEET. A SECOND PROBLEM EXISTS WITH THE TENANTS OF THE BUILDING TO THE SOUTH, ONE TENANT IS ON A MONTH TO MONTH LEASE BUT THE LARGER TENANT HAS 3 OR 4 YEARS ON THEIR LEASE WITH AN OPTION FOR RENEWAL. IF THE NEW BUILDING IS CONSTRUCTED AND THE TENANTS ARE THEN MOVED IN, THE SOUTH BUILDING COULD THEN BE TORN DOWN. THE NEW STORE BUILDING COULD BE CONSTRUCTED BEFORE ALL OF THIS TRANSPIRES, BUT IT WOULD HAVE TO OPERATED WITH LIMITED PARKING WHILE THIS IS ALL TAKING PLACE. ALSO, THE AUTO REPAIR WOULD HAVE TO BE ASSURED THAT THEY WILL HAVE SUFFICIENT ROOM FOR ACCESS BY THEIR VEHICLES INTO THE BAYS.

CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting off 8/5/02 AGENDA SECTION: WORK SESSION ITEM ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER NO: PUBLIC WORKS~ ~[~E: /~,~~~ ITEM: AUTHORIZATION TO REINSTATE PARKING BY: K. Hanse.~,..v- ON THE NORTH SIDE OF 37TM AVENUE FROM DATE: 8/1/02~--~~ TYLER STREET TO HART BOULEVARD Background: Staff received a petition signed by fronting property owners on 37t~ requesting the reinstatement of parking on the north side of 37th from Tyler Street to Hart Boulevard (petition attached). An identical request was made and presented to the Traffic Commission in 1999. The Traffic Commission held a public hearing in October of 1999 and recommended to the City Council to reinstate parking on the north side. The Council considered the request and recommendation on October 11, 1999 and voted to retain the parking restriction. The City of Minneapolis reinstated parking on the south side of 37th Avenue in 1997-1998. Analysis/Conclusions: (Background) In 1989, 37t~ Avenue was changed from a two-lane street with parking on both sides to a four-lane street with no parking allowed. This was done in order to obtain State Aid funds to replace the deteriorated concrete street panels. Since 1989 the State Aid rules have changed the width requirements for streets. Currently a street carrying over 10,000 ADT with 2 lanes of traffic and 2 parking lanes must be a minimum of 42' wide from face of curb to face of curb. The width of 37th Avenue is 44'.A letter was sent to the State Aid Office in 1999 requesting information on what would be required to reinstate parking on the north side of 37th Avenue from Tyler Street to Hart Boulevard. The reply was that there is no specific procedure to request the change but all State Aid rules and policies must be followed. Residents along 37th Avenue who were present at the 1999 Traffic Commission Public Heating were in favor of reinstating parking on the north side of 37th Avenue from Tyler Street to Hart Boulevard. The main concern expressed revolved around the perceived travel speed in excess of the posted speed along 37th Avenue. It was discussed that narrowing the travel way with a parking lane would slow traffic down. It was also expressed that it is dangerous being right next to the travel lane when mowing the lawn and shoveling snow in the driveway. Staffbelieves traffic will flow equally well with one or two travel lanes. Street parking could be reinstated on the north side of 37th Avenue until the street is reconstructed; however, parking along 37th Avenue will increase visibility problems with the number of driveways and skewed intersections. If ordered by the Council, the work could be completed in approximately 6-8 weeks. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to accept the petition from the abutting property owners along 37th Avenue requesting the removal of the No Parking Restriction on 37th Avenue from Tyler Street to Hart Blvd. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to reinstate parking on the north side of 37th Avenue from Tyler Street to Hart Boulevard based on the petition received and a former recommendation (1999) of the Traffic Commission.
