a) Other Ordinances and Resolutions
1 .First Reading for Ordinance 1440, being an Ordinance pertaining to the Rezoning of certain
properties located at 1529 37th Avenue NE and 1601 37th Avenue NE
Tim Johnson, City Planner, referred to the history of these properties as stated in his Council
letter. This ordinance is a request to rezone 1529 37th ,4venue NE and 1601 3 7th ,4venue NE
from R2 (residential) to LB (light business'.) to make them consistent with commercial zoning,
as both parcels have long histories of commercial use. The hair salon owner, who was trying
to sell the property, brought this to staff's' attention because a potential buyer was not able to
get a commercial loan for residentially zoned property. Johnson stated that this rezoning is
not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, but the Metropolitan Council indicated by written
reply that they have no objection to the commercial rezoning.
Nawrocki indicated that the property at 1601 3 7th is in violation of existing code, regarding
storage and parking. Johnson stated that the intensity of use oft he present business is too
much for limited business zoning, however this business is grandfathered in. Nawrocki was
concerned with outside storage. Johnson indicated that ifa complaint was received this would
be addressed but staff was currently looking at zoning issues. Nawrocki felt it would be a good
time to ask the owner to clean up the property. Williams had encouraged the owner to
purchase the beauty shop property for parking. Wyckoff was concerned with parking and
would like to see the business relocate. Wyckoff questioned if the properties could go back to a
residential zoning. Johnson stated they could not, as the lots' are too small to build on.
Peterson felt that if the businesses were not offensive to the neighborhood he saw no problem.
He stated that the property owner has cooperated in the past with requests from the City.
Peterson stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission had no problem with this rezoning
request.
Motion by Wyckoff, second by Szurek, to waive the reading of Ordinance 1440, there being
ample copies available to the public. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.

2002, setting the proposed City Levy, approving the HRA Levy, approving a tax rate increase,
and establishing a budget meeting date for property taxes payable in 2002.
Motion by Williams, second by Szurek, to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2001-52, there

Motion by Williams, second by Szurek, to adopt Resolution 2001-52 being a resolution
adopting a proposed budget, setting the City, Library and EDA proposed local levy at
$4,851,347, establishing a budget meeting date for property taxes payable in 2002 for
December 3, 2001 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council chambers, approving a tax rate increase,
and approving HRA levy of $111,702.
Nawrocki disagreed with the budget information process, and stated that the numbers
presented did not match the numbers shown to Council previously. Fehst stated these figures
are to set the preliminary levy and the other figures referred to represent his recommended
budget cut,'. Fehst explained changes in the State tax system and, as a result, the new financial
responsibilities given to the City. Fehst stated that the recommended levy can not be exceeded
in future meetings, but can be reduced through budget cut; and Council approval. Nawrocki
stated that past history shows the levy amount is not reduced after the preliminary approval.
He felt actions taken by the State wouM give people an opportunity to make decisions at the
local level of government, but unfortunately did not reduce state mandates.
Nawrocki supported a 3.5 percent increase to compensate for the increased cost of doing
business and wage increases. He listed his recommended figures for what he felt was a
supportable levy amount. Nawrocki questioned the remaining cost; on the SheffieM project and
requested this information in writing. He asked if the EDA levy was part of the total levy
request. Fehst stated that it was.
Motion by Nawrocki to amend the proposed general fund levy be reduced to $4,671,662, and
the special levy for PERA be eliminated, and in Section D the HRA levy be reduced to
$77,000.
Williams defended the original motion, stating that the City may have to cut services, but that
our Finance Director has given us a recommended maximum levy amount, and what
Councilmember Nawrocki proposed is only two percent less than this amount. He requested
citizen input, but referred to possible budget cut,'. Williams want; the City to be as efficient as
possible and yet give the best services possible. He believed the final budget amount couM be
lower than the maximum recommended levy, unless citizens do not want services cut.
Upon vote: Motion died for a lack of a second.

liquor store at 8:00p. m. every evening. Nclwrocki believed she shouM have the right to ,'how the
video. Wyckoff agreed.
Jim Hoeft, City Attorney, recommended a copy of the tape be given to the City as a pubfic document

suggested she play the tape in the conference room following the meeting.
Williams stated that if the City is to remain in the fiquor sales business, this must be addressed and
resolved.

Dr. Todd dohnson, 21 year property owner south of the fiquor store, complained of the smell, and
people urinating in the parking lot. He stated that patients have complained and employees are afraid
to come out of his building after dark, and that there may be gang elements' involved. Larson
suggested selling his three lots' to the City, with relocation fees.

outside the store, and early closings wouM be discussed during budget hearings.
Motion by Wyckoff, second by Szurek, that starting immediately the City liquor store on University
Avenue be closed at 8:00 p.m. until we get our act together.
Nawrocki felt this is a "knee jerk" reaction to a serious problem, and not a responsible way to deal
with it. The City needs' to look at alternatives. Peterson stated he would not vote in favor of such a
motion until he has the opportunity to talk to the Liquor Store Manager and Finance Director.
Fehst stated that he met with the neighbors and they asked for a fence all the way to the alley, but Dr.
Johnson was not in favor of this, as it would affect the walking traffic. Peterson stated that there have
been efforts' to alleviate this problem, but apparently not enough.

stated there is a need to separate businesses and residents'.
Sue Amundson, 3 741 Reservoir, stated this was disgusting and shouM be the City's number one
priority. Williams agreed with Peterson and Nclwrocki, and thought something needs' to be done, but to
reduce the hours tonight is not the answer, and agreed to make this situation a priority.

to 2.
Peterson assured residents' that all Councilmembers are committed to resolve this problem.

COUNCIL CORNER
Nawrocld attended a meeting in Blaine on Affordable Housing. A Land Trust Program was suggested
whereby the City purchase land and put it in a trust for affordable housing; the land is leased by the
buyer on a 99 year lease with a 99 year renewable option. The first buyer wouM be limited to the
increase they couM put into that sale, so not only the first owner gets' a better buy, but so would future
buyers. He suggested that the property on 47th Avenue and Monroe Street, bought with CDGB money,
be keep in a land trust. Nawrocki stated the sale couM be restricted to a resident of the community.
Peterson felt this was an interesting concept, but the property on Monroe Street was agreed by
Council to sell for maximum profitability.
