RESOLUTION NO. 99-21
ADOPTING AN ALLEY REHABILITATION PROGRAM
AND ALLEY ASSESSMENT POLICY
WHEREAS, most of the alleys controlled and maintained by the City of Columbia
Heights are thirty or more years old; and
WHEREAS, it is recognized that a systematic program of surface maintenance, including
patching, crack sealing, seal coating, and joint filling can extend the life of concrete and
asphalt pavements; and
WHEREAS, it is recognized that, even with a systematic program of maintenance, it
becomes necessary to rehabilitate concrete and asphalt pavements in order to preserve the
original investments in the construction of an alley; and
WHEREAS, it is City policy that the General Fund will be used for City-wide alley
maintenance such as pothole patching, alley sweeping, and snow removal, and that
specific maintenance and capital improvements such as seal coating, curb and gutter
replacement, sidewalks, and pavement rehabilitation will be paid for by the property
owners benefitted; and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that the current policies with regard to
maintenance and assessments have not been conducive to a systematic program of alley
rehabilitation that will preserve the investment made in the alley system.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That in order to preserve the investment in
the alley system, the following practices will be followed:
The City street system has been divided into seven zones or the purpose of
maintenance, seal coating and rehabilitation.
In an "off" year of the Street Rehabilitation Program, the City Engineering staff
will review alleys in the entire City to be seal coated and determine which alleys
would benefit from rehabilitation for alleys in need of rehabilitation, and
determine a maximum assessment rate based on the type of rehabilitation and the
availability of City funds that can be applied to start rehabilitation.
o
The City Council will review these recommendations, and as appropriate, order
improvement hearings to provide testimony from those property owners affected
by the proposed alley rehabilitation projects.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
APRIL 26, 1999
PAGE 12
When appropriate, the City Council will set a maximum assessment rate based on
the type of rehabilitation, and availability of City funds for alley rehabilitation,
and order the improvements, with those costs not covered by the assessment being
paid for out of the Irffrastmcture Fund.
Recognizing the uniqueness of alleys in the overall street system, assessments to
property shall be established on aparcel unit basis.
o
Considering the material longevity, constructability in a narrow right-of-way, and
better drainage characteristics for an inverse crown, concrete shall be the surfacing
material for alley reconstruction work.

ITEM: Conditional Use Permit ~"i~--~ BY: JoeHollmanzS~/~ BY:~'///~'--'
NO: Case # 9905-16, 556 40~ Avenue NE DATE: May 5, 1919
Issue Statement: This is a request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a dwelling unit on the second floor of the office
space at 556 40~ Avenue NE.
Background: Section 9.113(2) of the Zoning Ordinance allows dwelling units in the Retail Business zoning district as a
Conditional Use Permit provided that: (1) The units do not occupy the first floor; and, (2) A roof intended for usable space
shall be enclosed by a wall or fence not less than five feet in height. The applicants propose to utilize the second story of
the building for the apartment and do not intend to utilize the roof. The proposal meets the two conditions established in
the Zoning Ordinance. The apartment will contain three bedrooms, one bathroom, living room, and a kitchen all on the
second floor. The total living space will be 858 square feet. As stated on Exhibit "A" of the application, the owners do
not propose any changes to the space with the exception of an extension of the bathroom to include a shower. This will be
subject to review and approval by the Building Official.
Analysis: The existing property and building do not meet the minimum requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Provided
the property is not vacant for six months or more, it can continue to be utilized without variances. Also, the property does
not meet minimum parking requirements. However, Section 9.104(3) of the Zoning Ordinance states that a
nonconforming use of a structure may be changed to a similar nonconforming use or to a more restrictive nonconforming
use. In this case, the upper level of the building is changing from office space which would require 4 parking spaces to a
dwelling unit which requires 2 parking spaces, so this request is consistent with this section of the Ordinance. Note that in
1981 a lease agreement was recorded regarding shared use of the parking lot west of the Ashford Chiropractic Clinic.
Approximately 5 years ago, the parking lot was bought when the Chiropractic Clinic changed ownership, and the new
owner is not aware of any shared parking agreement. However, both the applicant and the owner of the Chiropractic
Clinic have stated that they would consider a shared parking agreement if the need arises. There are two parking spaces
behind the building which are currently dirt/gravel. The Housing Maintenance Code requires that off-street parking
spaces for residential units need to be hard-surfaced. According to the Assistant Fire Chief, due to the fact that this
property has not been used within the last 12 months as rental property it must be brought into compliance with the
provisions of the 1997 Uniform Building Code and the Housing Maintenance Code. The property is subject to inspection
by the Building Official and the Rental Housing inspectors. Smoke detectors will be required in every bedroom and in the
corridor outside of sleeping rooms. Any room used for sleeping purposes must have an egress window or exterior door no
less than 5.7 square feet in net clear opening size. According to the applicant, each bedroom has egress windows. This
will need to be verified upon inspection by the Fire Department and Building Official. Pleasefind the following
attachments: Staff Report; Completed application form; Area map; Site Plan; Fire Dept. Comments; and, Public Notice.
Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing for the request on May 4, 1999. They
voted unanimously to recommend City Council approval of the Conditional Use Permit subject to the four conditions
listed in the recommended motion.
Recommended Motion: Move to approve the Conditional Use Permit to allow a dwelling unit on the second floor of the
building at 556 40~ Avenue NE, subject to the following conditions:
1. All required state and local codes, permits, licenses and inspections will be met and in full compliance.
2. At no time shall any space directly associated with the dwelling unit occupy the first floor of the building. This
shall include, but not be limited to, kitchens, restrooms, and bedrooms.
3. The parking lot shall be hard-surfaced to comply with the Housing Maintenance Code.
4. The unit shall not be converted back to office space unless a shared-parking agreement is reached.

BACKGROUND
Explanation of Request:
This is a request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a dwelling unit on the second floor of the
office space at 556 40th Avenue NE. It is the intent of the applicant to provide living space for
her daughter.
Case History:
The building was constructed in 1922, and in 1974 the upstairs was changed from an apartment
into an office and library. Case 8105-08 was a request for subdivision approval. In summary,
the subdivision was necessary to ensure that the owners of 556 40th Avenue NE would have off-
street parking. At the time the subdivision was requested, (please refer to attached site plan)
Tract "A" was sold to the owners of Tract "B", and the east 30.2 feet of Tract "C" was sold to the
Ashford Clinic owners. The west 71.56 feet of Tract "C" was sold to the partnership of 546
Investments. Approval of the subdivision was conditioned upon a lease agreement binding the
Case: 9905-16
Page: 2
west 71.56 feet of Tract "C" to the east 30.2 feet of Tract "C", and Tract A and B, for parking
purposes. This lease agreement will stay intact until such time that all of the area would be
redeveloped as a whole parcel under a common ownership. Note that there is a lease agreement
on file that specifies this shared parking agreement.
ANALYSIS
Surrounding ProperS:
The surrounding property on the north, east, and west is zoned RB, Retail Business and is used
commercially. The property to the south is zoned R-3, Multiple Family Residential and is
occupied by the Columbia Heights City Hall and parking lot.
Technical Review:
Section 9.113(2) of the Zoning Ordinance allows dwelling units in the Retail Business zoning
district as a Conditional Use Permit provided that:
1. The units do not occupy the first floor; and,
2. A roof intended for usable space shall be enclosed by a wall or fence not less than five
feet in height.
The applicants propose to utilize the second story of the building for the apartment and do not
intend to utilize the roof. The proposal meets the two conditions established in the Zoning
Ordinance. The apartment will contain three bedrooms, one bathroom, living room, and a
kitchen all on the second floor. The total living space will be 858 square feet. As stated on
Exhibit "A" of the application, the owners do not propose any changes to the space with the
exception of an extension of the bathroom to include a shower. This will be subject to review
'and approval by the Building Official.
Minimum yard and density requirements are as follows:
· Every lot shall have a minimum frontage of 40 feet - the existing parcel has 20 feet of
frontage which does not meet this requirement;
· Front Yard shall be 15 feet - existing building is roughly 2 feet offthe front property line
which does not meet this requirement;
· The floor area ratio shall not exceed 1.0 - the floor area ratio is at about 1.1 which
exceeds this requirement;
· There is no side yard setback requirement; and,
· No building shall be erected within 10 feet of any alley - the existing building is 20 feet
offthe alley at its closest point.
The existing property and building do not meet the minimum requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance. Provided the property is not vacant for six months or more, it can continue to be
utilized without variances.
Parking requirements for an office are at least one space for each 200 square feet of floor area,
and a dwelling unit will require two off-street parking spaces. Note that there are two parking
Case: 9905-16
Page: 3
spaces between the alley and the building that are being proposed for use by the occupants of the
apartment. The office space will require 4 off-street parking spaces. Considering that at the time
the shared parking agreement was drafted both floors were being used as office which would
require a total of 8 off-street parking spaces, converting the upstairs into an apartment will
decrease the number of parking spaces required. These two spaces will be over 20 feet long and
roughly 10 feet in width. Note that the Zoning Ordinance requires parking spaces to be 9 feet
wide by 20 feet long. The proposal meets minimum parking requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance.
The two parking spaces behind the building are currently dirt/gravel. The Housing Maintenance
Code requires that off-street parking spaces for residential units need to be hard-surfaced. Staff
will recommend as a condition of approval that these two parking spaces be hard-surfaced to
meet the requirements of the Housing Maintenance Code.
The Fire Department has had the responsibility of administering the rental property licensing
program for the City since 1992, and this property has not been licensed as a rental property
since that time. According to the Assistant Fire Chief, due to the fact that this property has not
been used within the last 12 months as rental property it must be brought into compliance with
the provisions of the 1997 Uniform Building Code. The property will also need to comply with
all provisions of the Housing Maintenance Code. Some of the factors that would be involved in
compliance with the above codes are listed below. This is a partial list of factors, and the
property is subject to inspection by the Building Official and the Rental Housing inspectors.
1. "Smoke detectors. A smoke detector will be required in every bedroom and in the
corridor outside of the sleeping rooms by the Uniform Building Code. These detectors
can be battery-operated. This exceeds the requirement of the Housing Maintenance
Code, which requires smoke detectors only in the hallway outside of bedrooms. The
Housing Maintenance Code was developed primarily for existing properties. Due to the
fact that the property has remained unused for a period of time the provisions of the
Uniform Building Code relating to upgrading the structure would apply and they exceed
our current city code."
2. "Egress windows. Any room used for sleeping purposes must have an egress window or
exterior door not less than 5.7 square feet in 'net clear opening' size."
3. "License and inspection. The rental unit would be subject to the licensing and inspection
requirements of the Housing Maintenance Code. The inspection must be passed prior to
occupying a new rental unit. This would mean that, should any code violations be found
during the initial inspection, the violations would have to be corrected prior to occupying
the rental unit."
Compliance with City Comprehensive Plan:
The City Comprehensive Plan designates this area for future commercial development. Taming
the second floor into a dwelling unit does not impact the goals and objectives of the existing
Comprehensive Plan. Although, encouraging mixed-used development has been discussed
during the current Plan update process. This proposal is consistent with that philosophy, but
Case: 9905-16
Page: 4
nothing has been formally adopted to date. Adso, the Minnesota Design Team has recommended
that the City encourage apartments over retail as an ongoing activity. This proposal is consistent
with that recommendation.
Summa~:
The positive aspects of this proposal are as follows:
1. The proposal meets the minimum requirements established in the Zoning Ordinance.
2. The proposal is consistent with the mixed-use development philosophy being discussed
as part of the current Comprehensive Plan update.
3. The proposal is consistent with the Minnesota Design Team recommendation that the
City should encourage apartments over retail as an ongoing activity.
The negative aspects of this proposal are as follows:
1. There do not appear to be any negative aspects to this proposal.
CONCLUSION
Staff Recommendation:
Staffrecommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit to allow a dwelling unit on the second
floor of the building at 556 40t~ Avenue NE, subject to the conditions listed in the recommended
motion.
Recommended Motion:
Move to recommend City Council approval of the Conditional Use Permit to allow a dwelling
hnit on the second floor of the building at 556 40th Avenue NE, subject to the following
conditions:
1. All required state and local codes, permits, licenses and inspections will be met and in
full compliance.
2. At no time shall any space directly associated with the dwelling unit occupy the first floor
of the building. This shall include, but not be limited to, kitchens, restrooms, and
bedrooms.
3. The parking lot shall be hard-surfaced to comply with the Housing Maintenance Code.

P&Z Issues
April 20, 1999
Following are the Fire Department's comments on the upcoming cases for Planning and
ZOning Commission hearings:
Case 9905-18:
5060 Central Avenue
No Fire Department issues.
· Case 9905-16: 556 40t~ Avenue
The Fire Department has had the responsibility of administering the rental property
licensing program for the city since 1992. According to our files the property at 556 40th
Avenue has not been licensed as rental property during the time that the Fire
Department has been involved in this program. Due to the fact that this property has
not been used within the last 12 months as rental property it must be brought into
compliance with the provisions of the 1997 Uniform Building Code. The property would
also have to comply with all provisions of Chapter 5A of the City Code, commonly
known as the Housing Maintenance Code.
Some of the factors that would be involved in compliance with the above codes include
the following. This is a partial list of factors, subject to inspection by the Building Official
and the Rental Housing inspectors.
Smoke detectors. A smoke detector will be required in every bedroom and in the
corridor outside of the sleeping rooms by the Uniform Building Code. These
detectors can be battery-operated. This exceeds the requirement of the Housing
c2-99105.wpd 1
Maintenance Code, which requires smoke detectors only in the hallway outside
of bedrooms. The Housing Maintenance Code was developed primarily for
existing properties. Due to the fact that the property has remained unused for a
period of time the provisions of the Uniform Building Code relating to upgrading
the structure wou~a apply and [ney exceed our current city code.
Egress windows. Any room used for sleeping purposes must have an egress
window or exterior door not less than 5.7 square feet in "net clear opening" size.
License and Inspection. The rental unit would be subject to the licensing and
inspection requirements of the Housing Maintenance Code. The inspection must
be passed prior ;'o occupying a new rental unit. This would mean that, should
any code violations be found during the initial inspection, the violations would
have to be corrected prior to occupying the rental unit.
Case 9905-17
551/561 49~ Avenue
The Fire Department has been responsible for administering the provisions of city code
which are related to hard-surfacing of driveways and parking areas. I have visited the
property in May, 1998, at the request of Ms. Harding. It was apparent to me at that time
that drainage was an issue which needed to be resolved due to the elevation of the
garage at 551; this garage is lower than the driveway.
I am opposed to the solution presented by Ms. Harding for the following reasons:
Ms. Harding is requesting a variance beginning 10 feet from the street. The
intent of this provision in the ordinance is to reduce the amount of silt, sand and
rocks which run to the storm sewer system in an effort to increase the water flow
through the storm sewer system. By hard surfacing that portion of the driveway
closest to the street this intent is maintained. ! do not believe, however, that 10
feet from the street is a distance sufficient to prevent a significant portion of the
silt, sand and rocks from being washed into the street during a rainfall or during
snow melt or by being moved under the tires of the vehicles as they enter and
exit the driveway.
From what I recall of my conversation with Ms. Harding, the engineers she had
hired to look at the property had indicated to her that the drainage would become
an issue between the two homes and extending to the north to the garage at
551. i do not recall any issue being raised concerning drainage from the south
(front yard) portion of the lots causing potential damage to structures.
I would recommend the following alternative solution: Hard-surface that portion of the
driveway from the curb line to approximately the south wall of the dwellings. I base this
recommendation on the following factors:
c2.-99105.w~d ~
The intent of the ordinance is better maintained by hard-surfacing a larger
portion of the driveway. The probability that sand, silt or rocks would enter the
sewer system is further reduced by increasing the distance between the street
and the end of the hard-surface portion of the driveway.
Drainage issues relating to the structures would not seem to be an issue since
the area between the homes and the area sloping toward the garage at 551
would remain in their present state and would continue to absorb water during
rainfall and snow melt.
This solution would be more consistent with the solution determined in case
9811-48. That case involved several points establishing hardship, including the
owner's ability to safely negotiate the driveway during winter months. In that
case the Fire Department presented a recommendation that the portion of the
ddveway from the curb line to the point where elevation of the driveway begins to
drop be hard-surfaced.

CITY COUNCIL LETTER
Meeting of: May 10, 1999
NO: Community Development APPROVAL
ITEM: Conditional Use Permit BY: Joe Hollman~?~__
NO: Case # 9905-18, 5060 Central Avenue NE DATE: May 5, 199'9
Issue Statement: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to open a restaurant in the former Bascali's building
at 5060 Central Avenue NE. The restaurant will be called Udupi Caf~ and will specialize in South Indian vegetarian
cuisine. Hours of operation will be roughly beVeecen 11:00 AM and 10:00 PM, six or seven days a week, depending on the
success of the restaurant.
Background: According to Section 9.113(2) of the Zoning Ordinance, a Conditional Use Permit will be required if the
proposed use contains a restaurant, cafe, tea room, bar, prepared food outlets subject to Section 9.116(15) and Prepared
Food Delivery Establishments as such establishments are defined in Section 9.103(63). The applicant is not proposing
any physical changes to the site, or exterior structural changes to the building. However, there will be a couple equipment
changes inside the building, such as removal of the soda fountain and brick oven. They also plan to construct a wall to
conceal the kitchen area from the seating. These improvements are subject to review and approval by the Building
Official, Fire Department, and Anoka County Health Department.
Analysis: The existing property meets minimum requirements of the Zoning Ordinance in terms of parking and
minimum yard and density requirements. However, there is currently a privacy fence along the rear of the property that is
in some need of repair, and the building does not comply with the signage section of the Zoning Ordinance. There are
graphics painted on the exterior of the building, on the retaining wall, and on the dumpster enclosure. Section
9.117A(4)(g) of the Zoning Ordinance states that a sign or graphics painted directly on any exterior surface of a building
or structure is prohibited. Note that staff attempted to contact the previous tenant regarding this issue during the summer
of 1998. The tenant never responded, and the restaurant closed before staff took additional enforcement action. Staff will
recommend as a condition of approval that these graphics be removed or covered. One other concern pertains to a wood
storage shed/box which was constructed adjacent to the rear of the building. This space was used for the storage of wood
for the brick oven. A blanket was observed over the box and it is possible that someone may have been using the space
for shelter, and this space could also be a harborage for rodents. Pleasefind the following attachments: Staff Report;
Completed Application Form; Existing Site Plans; Existing Floor Plan; Menu; and, Public Notice
Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing for the request on May 4, 1999. They
voted unanimously to recommend City Council approval of the Conditional Use Permit subject to the six conditions listed
in the recommended motion.
Recommended Motion: Move to approve the Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of Udupi Caf6 in the Retail
Business. Zoning District at 5060 Central Avenue NE, subject to the following conditions:
1. All required state and local codes, permits, and inspections including, but not limited to building permits, fire code,
and health department regulations will be met and in full compliance;
2. The screening fence shall be repaired and maintained in good condition;
3. All proposed signage must be submitted on the City prescribed application form and must fully comply with the
Zoning Ordinance;
4. The existing graphics on the building, retaining wall, and dumpster enclosure shall be removed or covered; and,

BACKGROUND
Explanation o_f Request:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to open a restaurant in the former Bascali's

Case Histo~_ :
Case #8308-57 was a request for a Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review for the
construction of a Wendy's Restaurant on the site. This request was approved in September,
1983. The Wendy's Restaurant site was developed at the same time as a Rax Restaurant which
was constructed on the property to the south (most recently Boston Market). Case #9706-17 was
a request for a Conditional Use Permit to operate Bascali's Restaurant which was approved in
June, 1997. The building has been vacant since late summer, 1998.
Case: 9905-18

ANALYSIS
Surrounding ProperS.:
The surrounding property on the north, south, and east is zoned RB, Retail Business and is used
commercially. The property to the west is zoned R-2, Single and Two Family Residential and is
used residentially.
Technical Review:
According to Section 9.113(2) of the Zoning Ordinance, a Conditional Use Permit will be
required if the proposed use contains a restaurant, cafe, tea room, bar, prepared food outlets
subject to Section 9.116(15) and Prepared Food Delivery Establishments as such establishments
are defined in Section 9.103(63).
The applicant is not proposing any physical changes to the site, or exterior structural changes to
the building. However, there will be a couple equipment changes inside the building, such as
removal of the soda fountain and brick oven. They also plan to construct a wall to conceal the
kitchen area from the seating. These improvements are subject to review and approval by the
Building Official, Fire Department, and Anoka County Health Department.
One issue that was raised by the Health Department pertains to a wood storage shed/box which
was constructed adjacent to the rear of the building. This space was used for the storage of wood
for the brick oven. Considering that the oven is being removed, staffwill recommend that this
storage box/shed also be removed. A blanket was observed over the box and it is possible that
someone may have been using the space for shelter. Another concern is that this space could be
a harborage for rodents. Note that staff was not able to find any record of a building permit for
this storage space.
Minimum Yard and Density Requirements are as follows:
· Lot Width shall be at least 50 feet - subject parcel is 165 feet wide;
· Lot Area shall be at least 6,000 square feet - subject parcel is 34,485 square feet;
· Front Yard Setback shall be 15 feet - existing structure meets this requirement;
· There shall be at least one 10 foot side yard, the other side yard can be zero feet - the
existing building meets this requirement;
· Rear Yard Setback shall be 30 feet - existing building meets this requirement;
· The floor area ratio shall not exceed 1.0 - the property has a floor area ratio of
approximately .08, which meets this requirement;
· Need minimum frontage of 40 feet - subject parcel has 165 feet of frontage along Central
Avenue.
Parking requirements for a restaurant are at least one space for each three seats based on capacity
design. According to the floor plan, there are 84 seats in the restaurant which requires 28 parking
spaces. The site plan indicates that there are 45 parking spaces on-site, two of which are
handicap-accessible. Note that the existing parking lot meets minimum requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance.
Case: 9905-18
Page: 3
Solid waste material is required to be so located and fenced as to be removed from public view
and shall be kept in an enclosed building or properly contained in a closed container for such
purposes. There is a dumpster enclosure provided at the back of the site.
Another screening requirement is that when any business is adjacent to a residential use, that
business shall provide screening along the boundary of the residential property. Screening can
be'accomplished by a privacy fence that is not less than 50% opaque, or it can be accomplished
by providing plantings along the residential property. There is currently a privacy fence
separating the subject property from adjacent residential property. Portions of this fence are in
need of repair, and staff will recommend as a condition of approval that the fence be repaired and
maintained in good condition.
Staffhas not seen any information pertaining to signage. Note that the current building does not
comply with the signage section of the Zoning Ordinance as there are graphics painted on the
exterior of the building, on the retaining wall, and on the dumpster enclosure. Section
9.117A(4)(g) of the Zoning Ordinance states that a sign or graphics painted directly on any
exterior surface of a building or structure is prohibited. Note that staff attempted to contact the
previous tenant regarding this issue during the summer of 1998. The tenant never responded,
and the restaurant closed before staff took additional enforcement action. Staff will recommend
as a condition of approval that these graphics be removed or covered.
Compliance with Ci~ Comprehensive Plan:
The City Comprehensive Plan designates this area for future Commercial development. One
goal of the Land Use and Redevelopment Plan is to improve the commercial viability of the
Central Avenue corridor while protecting nearby residential neighborhoods, and the Plan
promotes the rehabilitation of existing development land in the City. The proposal will not
negatively impact any nearby residential areas and will provide an appropriate reuse of an
existing building, so the proposal is consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan.
Summa~_ :
The positive aspects of this proposal are as follows:
1. The proposal is consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan.
2. Udupi Caf6 will provide an appropriate reuse of the building.
The negative aspects of this proposal are as follows:
1. There do not appear to be any negative aspects to this Proposal.
CONCLUSION
Sta__ff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of Udupi Caf6
in the Retail Business Zoning District at 5060 Central Avenue NE, subject to the conditions
listed in the recommended motion.

POLICE APPROVAL:
ITEM: Second Reading Ord. 1387 Regulating the Number BY: Thomas M. Johns~ ~)X~E.~'~~'~
NO. Of False Alarms Allowed in a Calen_dar Year DATE: April 14, 1999 k,,~"[] .
BACKGROUND:
During the past several years the number of false alarm calls to which the Police Department and Fire Department
have responded continues to grow. It is our feeling that most-if not all-of these false alarms come about because
alarm systems are not properly maintained or the people setting the alarms off have not been adequately trained.
During the past three years, the Police Department alone has responded to an average of 50 false alarms per
month. At the present time we have no way of requiring the alarm owner to prove maintenance of the system or
to prove they have trained personnel or renters properly in the functioning of the alarm system. It has gotten to
the point that in some locations we no longer get a response from the key holder. This becomes a life safety issue
for our officers in that they go to all intrusion alarms as if they are indeed a true alarm. It gets us into a "crying
wolf' syndrome that could become very dangerous both for the officers and for those who are at a facility and
set off an alarm due improper training or laziness.
ANALYSIS/CONCLUSION:
The Police Department feels that we need a tool in the form of the attached ordinance that can force a response
to an alarm call by the owner, force the alarm owner to maintain their system properly, and train renters and
employees on their alarm systems.
.Any alarm where the alarm owner or key holder refuses to respond would automatically become a false
alarm.
On the first false alarm within a twelve-month period, as long as we had a key holder response and follow-
proof of maintenance by the alarm vendor, we would waive the alarm as a false alarm.
Subsequent alarms in a twelve-month period would all count as false alarms.
We are suggesting a $75 fee for the third response within a calendar year and a doubling of the fines each
subsequent false alarm within the twelve-month period; i.e., fourth false alarm would be $150, fifth false alarm
would be $300, etc.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1387 there being ample copies available for the public.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move to approve Ordinance No. 1387, being an ordinance regulating the number of false alarms allowed within
one calendar year.

P.O. Bbx 21275
Columbia Heights, MN 55421
Dear Ms. Janas-Johnson:
In the past the Columbia Heights Chamber of Commerce has been a treat hel~ in assisting our department ~vith the
dissemination of information on proposed and new City ordinances-Tespeciafly those that may affect the business
community.
At the April 12, 1999, City Council meeting, the City Council had a first reading of a proposed false alarm ordinance.
This o/'dinance came about because of the increased number of false alarms to which the Police Department has been
responding. To give you an example of what these numbers have been in 1996, the department responded to 468 false
alarms; in 1997 the department responded to 546 false alarms; and in 1998 the department responded to 568 false alarms.
This is an average of 44 false alarms per month. Thus far in 1999 this average is getting closer to 50 false alarms per
month.
There are several issues with false alarms that make it necessary for us to have a false alarm ordinance. First, we take
all alarms as true alarms and respond to them in emergency fashion. As we all know, whenever a police or fire vehicle
responds in emergency fashion, there are higher risks for the officer and our citizens. Even with all the precautions ~ve
take in an emergency response, accidents may and do happen. Second, we are finding with ~eat frequency that the alarm
owner will not respond to the alarm, especially late at night. This creates a problem for us because we do not know if
the alarm is a true alarm or not without keys to enter the building. Third, ~ve have several alarms that are set by
employees who have been improperly trained, or not trained at all. We have found that most of the ne~v people start on
the night shift and alarm training does not appear to be a priority.
The goal of the new ordinance is not to make money. Our goal is to stress to alarm owners that they have a responsibility
to .train themselves and their employees in the proper use of the alarm system, a responsibility to have their systems
maintained, and a responsibility to respond to any alarm in their building. If we get this type of assistance, we should
never have to go beyond the first false alarm at any given facility.
I have attached a copy of the proposed False Alarm Ordinance to this letter. The second reading of the ordinance will
take place at the City Council meeting on May 10, 1999, at 7:00 p.m. This meeting will be held in the Council Chambers
of the Columbia Heights City Hall, 590 40~ Avenue N.E. If you have any questions or are in need of clarification on
anything contained in this letter, please feel free to contact me at (612) 782-2844.

Police Chief

ITEM: Moratorium on St. Timothy's Prope.rty BY: Joe Hollman~;?t~
NO: 9' ~ '~ DATE: May 4, 1999'
Issue Statement: On July 13, 1998, the City Council passed a resolution imposing a ten month moratorium on site
improvements and/or development of property owned by St. Timothy's Lutheran Church in Columbia Heights. This
moratorium expires on May 13, 1999.
Background: As part of the resolution, staff was directed as part of the Comprehensive Plan update and Zoning
Ordinance rewrite process to identify appropriate options for zoning of the subject property; development of
recommended performance standards for the various zoning options; and presentation of the recommendations to the City
Council before the moratorium terminates. As a reminder, the City Council had approved a rezoning of certain property at
825 51st Avenue NE from R-2, Single and Two Family Residential, to R-3, Multiple Family Residential for the
development of a 70-unit, three story, market rate, senior housing rental apartment by Mary T., Inc. That proposal was
withdrawn.
Analysis: ' The draft 1999 Comprehensive Plan designates this area for future commercial development which is
consistent with the 1992 Comprehensive Plan. At the time of the rezoning, representations were made during the public
hearing process to the adjacent property owners indicating that, as part of the zoning approval, the City Council was
making the approval specific to the proposed senior housing project. If other uses are proposed that may be permitted in
the R-3 District for this site, there may be significant implications as to land use, traffic, public safety, and utility services
to the site. Similar implications may occur if the zoning were amended to reflect the draft Comprehensive Plan
recommendation that the property be commercial. It is staff's opinion that the City should discuss the issue with
representatives from St. Timothy's Lutheran Church to determine their plans for future use of the property. There are a
number of Options/scenarios that need to be considered. Three possibilities are listed below.
(1) The property could remain zoned R-3, in which case any of the uses permitted in the R- 3 District would be
permitted on the site. The draft Comprehensive Plan would need to change to reflect this.
(2) The property could be rezoned to a commercial classification as part of the Zoning Ordinance rewrite process to
reflect the recommendation established in the Comprehensive Plan.
(3) The property could be downzoned back to R-2, in which case only those uses permitted in the R-2 District (single
and two family residential, churches, and schools) could be developed on the site. The draft Comprehensive Plan
would need to change to reflect this.
Recommendation: Staffrecommends that the City Council extend the moratorium for four months to allow time for the
completion and adoption of the City Comprehensive Plan. Further analysis will be done to evaluate the potential impacts
of the various scenarios listed above, and discussions will be held with the property owners to determine their plans for
future use of the property.
Recommended Motion: Move to adopt Resolution 99-53, being a resolution imposing a four month extension to the
moratorium on site improvements and/or development of property owned by St. Timothy's Lutheran Church.
Please find the following information attached: Proposed Resolution 99-53; the 1998 Resolution establishing the

ITEM: Award of Contract for Demolition BY: Kenneth R. Anderson and ~
BY:
of Structures Mel Collova
I~"'a '""1 DATE: May 5, 1999
ISSUE STATEMENT: The City of Columbia Heights and the Columbia Heights Economic
Development Authority have jointly issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Demolition, Site
Clearance and Site Restoration of five properties within the City of Columbia Heights. Staff is seeking
Council approval to award the contract for this work.
BACKGROUND: An advertisement for bids was published in the Focus News and Construction
Bulletin in excess of the required 21 day minimum time period. RFPs ~vere distributed to twelve
contractors. Attached please find a list of contractors receiving the RFP. A pre-bid conference meeting
was held on April 22, 1999 at 2:00 p.m. The Building Official and Community Development Director
addressed a group of nine contractors at that meeting. Each contractor was given an oppommity to tour
the affected properties. The buildings in the RFP which are part of the City projects include: 3900
Central Avenue NE, 1260 46th Avenue NE, and 627 38th Street NE (owned by City, building utilized by
SACA). The Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority projects include the vacant
commercial structure at 4150 Central Avenue NE and the vacant residential structure (garage to remain)
at 3913 Polk Street NE. The Polk Street property is the first site acquired in the Scattered Site TIF
district. A bid opening was scheduled and held at 11:00 a.m. on May 7, 1999. A total often (10)
proposals were received from eligible contractors. The total high bid price was $171,433 and the total
low bid price was $80,800 from Blue Earth Environmental Company. Please see the attached summary
sheet listing the contractor bids showing the base bid amounts for the individual properties and total bid
cost.
ANALysIs: Based upon staff preliminary review of the proposals submitted, it appears that the three
lowest bidders are Blue Earth Environmental Company, Inc., Kevitt Excavating, Inc., and Wichenhauser
Excavating, Inc. Additionally, a bid bond in the amount of 5% of the bid has been included. The bid
documents will be for~varded to the City Attorney for his review and comment. As part of the
demolition project at 627 38th Avenue NE which is the current SACA site, the Fire Department is
intending to use the building for a test bum exercise at some point early this summer. The demolition
contract will involve the removal of the footings/foundation and remaining debris and site restoration.
Also, it will be necessary for a lease agreement to be executed between the City of Columbia Heights
and SACA identifying that SACA will assume responsibility for payment of the demolition expenses of
the SACA site in the bid amount of $3,900.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the award for the Demolition, Site Clearance, and Site
Restoration work to Blue Earth Environmental Company, Inc., in the total amount of $80,800 subject to
City Attorney review and approval.
