The Cable Communications Commission has reviewed this ordinance and recommends no changes.

VAR lANCE PROCEDURE
11.120 (11 .Purpos.e
It is the purpose of this ordinance amendment to establish a process that will
enable the City and Grantee flexibility in the administration and enforcement
of this Franchise without the need for costly ordinance amendments and delays.
Because the term of this Franchise is lengthy, changes and modifications may
be needed because of the rapid changes occurring in the cable communications
industry.
The Franchise and Grantee's Proposal are complex and subject to extensive
regulation and it is not possible to delineate the numerous possible areas
in which administrative action or an administrative variance shall be required.
Therefore, except as otherwise provided for in this Franchise and Grantee's
Proposal, where a specific provision permits a change, alteration or substi-
tution, any change, alteration or substitution sba)) be made only after com-
pliance with the provisions of this Section.
11.120(2)
S~bjects of This Section that may be Considered Without Ordinance Amendment
1. Construction techniques) equipment, materials; and/or the design and deve-
lopment of buildings, appurtenances, or other real or personal property in-
cident to the cable system;
2. System design and configuration, technical standards, performance tests
and maintenance procedures;
3. Services and programming tiers;
4. Public access or local origination equipment, personnel, facilities, and
operating procedures;
5. Subscriber practices, including complaint procedures, subscriber contracts,
repair service, and information to subscribers; and

Amounts of incurance, performance bonds, security deposits or letters of
credit, and accrued interest.
11.120 (3) Procedure
11.120 (3)(A) Notice
A notice pursuant to ~-11.103(5) shall be given by the City or Grantee or any
change, alteration or substitution as required in Section 11.120(2). If notice
is given by the City, the City Manager shall furnish notice to Grantee.
11.120(3)(B) Application
Applications for variance shall be filed with the City Manager. The City Mana-
ger shall forward the application to the chairperson of the Columbia Heights/
Hilltop Cable Communications Commission. The Commission shall review the ap-
plication at the next scheduled Commission meeting and prepare written findings
and recommendations concerning the application.
11.120(3) (C) Criteria
The Commission shall consider the following:
1. The requested variance is a minor deviation from the Franchise and is con-
sistent with the Franchise in the sole judgement of the City.
2. Application of the literal provisions of the Franchise will result in a
hardship to the appllcant and to grant a variance would not be detrimental
to other affected parties.
3. Due to expense or delay it would be unreasonable to perfect such change by
ordinance amendment.
4. Undue delay, expense, or other adverse results will not occur by approval
of the required variance.
5. If a variance is because of technical or cost reasons, the variance will
result in equal or better technical standards or cost efficiency.
11.120(3)(D) Findings Requirement
Before recommending that a variance be approved, the Commission must find that
at least three (3) of the above five (5) criteria are met, and that the variance
will not result in a deviation from the requirements of the MCCB, FCC or any
other rule of law.
i1.120(4) Council Approval
The findings and recommendations of the Commission shall be forwarded to the
City Council of the City affected by the variance. The Council shall approve
the variance, deny the variance, or refer the application back to the Commission
for further study. No variance request shall be effective until approved by
the City Council of the City affected by the variance. Where both Cities are
affected, a variance request shall not be effective until approved by both City
Councils. The Grantee must consent to all variances.

First Reading: October 25, 1982
e. First Reading of Ordinance No. 1025 Pertaining to Signs
This ordinance was drafted to address a sign variance for a sign located at q025 University
Avenue for a day care cent=r. This ordinance would include "day care center licensed for
twelve or more children" in the definition of an institution. When the sign was originally
.installed it was legal but after the property was rezoned to accommodate the center and re-
sidents living on the property the sign became illegal. Councilman Norberg felt this matter
could be interpreted as special legislation in the guise of general legislation and is not
supportive of this kind of activity. Discussion followed regarding the sign ordinance and
this sign in particular. The ordinance did not receive a first reading and the City Attorney
was requested to review the restrictions for R-3 and R-q zoning.
f. First Reading of Ordinance No. 1026 Vacating an Alley
This ordinance resulted from a request for an alley vacation of 14 feet in an alley located
off of Third Street. The property owned by one of the two persons requesting this vacation
has been used as a storage place for unregistered vehicles and debris. Requests to clean up
this area have not resulted in a notable improvement was the observation of the Mayor. It
had been recommended that the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Traffic Commission would
be reviewing this ordinance before it had its second reading. Councilman Norberg felt this
procedure was improper and that the two commissions should review the ordinance before it
had a first reading and report their findings and give their recommendations first. The ord-
inance was not read.
