ORDINANCE NO. 1050
BEING AN ORDINANCE GIVING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL TO A PROJECT UNDER THE MUNICIPAL
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT ACT, REFERRING THE PROPOSAL TO THE MINNESOTA ENERGY AND
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY FOR APPROVAL, AND AUTHORIZING PREPARATION OF NEC-
ESSARY DOCUMENTS
The City of Columbia Heights does ordain:
I. It is hereby found, determined and declared as follows:
1.1 The welfare of the State of Minnesota requires active promotion, attraction,
encouragement and development of economically sound industry and commerce through
governmental acts to prevent, so far as posslble, emergence of bllghted lands and areas
of chronic unemployment, and it is the policy of the State of Minnesota to facilitate
and encourage action by local government units to prevent the economlc deterioration
of such areas to the point where the process can be reversed only by total redevelop-
ment through the use of local, state and federal funds derived from taxation, with the
attendant necessity of relocating displaced persons and of duplicating publlc services
in other areas.
1.2 Technological change has caused a shift to a significant degree in the area of op-
portunity for educated youth to processing, transporting, marketing, service and other
Industries, and unless existing and related Industries are retained and new Industries
are developed to use the available resources of the City of Columbla Heights (the "City
a large part of the existing Investment of the co~unity and of the state as a whole in
educational and public service facllltles will be lost, and the movement of talented,
educated personnel of mature age to areas where thelr services may be effectively used
and compensated and the lessening attraction of persons and businesses from other areas
for purposes of industry, commerce and tourism wlll deprive the City and the State of
the economlc and human resources needed as a base for providing governmental services and
facilities for the remaining population.
1.3 The increase in the amount and cost of governmental services requires the need
for more Intensive development and use of land to provi~qn,~cl~q~R tax base to fin-
nance these costs.

1.4. A representative of Kraus-Anderson, Inc. (hereinafter the
"AppUe~nt"), has 'advised this City CouncU (the "Councfl") that it desires to
acquire land and remodel an existing buildin~ for use as a shoppin~ center
faeLlity (hereinafter referred to as the "Project").
1.$. The existence of the Project in the City will contribute to more
intensive development and use of land to increase the tax base of the City.
and overlapping taxing authorities and maintain and provide for an increase
in opportunities for employment for residents of the City, including
economically disadvantaged or unemployed individuals.
1.6. The City has been advised that conventional, commercial
financing to pay the eapitai cost of the Project is available at such costs of
borrowing that the economic feasibility of operating the Project would be
significantly reduced, but that with the aid of municipal financing, and its
resulting low borrowing cost, the Project Is economically more feasible.
1.*/. This Council has been advised by a representative of the
Applicant, that on the basis of information submitted to them and their
discussions with representatives of area flnanciai institutions and potentiai
buyers of tax-exempt bends, industriai development revenue bonds of the
City could be issued and sold upon favorable rates and terms to finance the
Project.
1.8. The City is authorized by Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 4*/4, to
issue its revenue bonds to finance the cost, in whole or in part, of the
acquisition, construction, reconstruction, improvement or extension of cap-
ital projects consisting of properties used and useful in connection with a
revenue producing enterprise, such as that of the Applicant, and the
issuance of such bonds by the City would be a substantiai inducement to the
Applicant to construct its facility in the City.
2. On the basis of information ~fven the City to date, it appears that it
would be in the best interest of the City to issue its industrial development revenue
bonds under the provisions of Chapter 474 to finance the Project of the Applicant
at a cost presently estimated not to exceed $3,900,000.
3. The ProJee't above referred to is hereby given preliminary approval by
the City and the issuance of bonds for such purpose and in such amount approved,
subject to approval 'of the Project by the Minnesota Energy and Economic
Development Authority and to the mutual agreement of this body, the Applicant
and the inttiai purchasers of the bonds as to the details of the bond issue and
provisions for their payment, In all-events, it is understood, however, that the
bonds of the City shall not constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance legal .or
equitable upon any property of the City except the Project and each bond, when,
as, and if issued, shall recite in substance that the bond, Including interest thereon,
Is payable solely from the revenues received from the Project and property pledged
to the payment thereof, and shall not eonst/tuta a debt of the City.
4. In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 4'/4.01. Subdivision
*/a, the Mayor of .the City ts herebY authorized and directed to submit the p .r0p~al
for the Project to the Minnesota EnersT and Economic Development Authority for
approval of the Project. The Mayor, Clerk, Treasurer and other officers,
employees and agents of the City are hereby authorized to provide the Minnesota
Energy and Econ6mic Development Authority with any preliminary information
needed for this purpose, and the City Attorney is authorized to initiate and assist
in the preparation of such documents as may b~ ~ppropriate to the Project, if it IS
approved by the Minnesota Energy and Eeono~u'a Development Authority.

anisms as are available to the City, including a first source agreement in for employ-
ment, recruitment, referral, and placement.
7. The City shall have the right, In its sole discretion, to wlthdraw from participat-
Ion, and accordingly, not Issue its revenue bonds for the Project, should the City at

This matter had been tabled at an earlier Council meeting pending addltional information.
The City Manager addressed previously-expressed concerns and gave an update on Information
recently gotten from the City Attorney. The City Attorney stated that the proposal, as
presented, did not comply with the required floor space and offered two options to make
the proposal acceptable; the first belng a rezonlng and the second would require a revis-
ion of the PUD ordinance. Oiscussion continued regarding zoning, mlnimum square footage
requirements, maintenance, storing of accessory vehicles (i.e. boats,'motor homes, etc.)
and blending. A petition from residents Iivlng near the proposed development was received
by the Councll stating those signing thelr opposition to the plan.

2. Speclal Purpose Fence Ben Luhm, 4732 Stinson Blvd.
Mr. Luhm originally requested from the Plannlng and Zoning Commlsslon permisslon to construct
a privacy fence but was denied because he did not have a consent form signed by his neighbor
on the west. Ne appealed the denial to the Council and requested per~tsslon to build a spec-
Ial purpose fence. He was referred back to the Planning and Zoning Coa~Jssion ~here he was
again denied since the Coa~[$sion meebers felt his need would be adequately met with a 42a
high fence Instead of the five to six foot fence he was considering. Olscusslon continued
regarding the purpose Mr. Luhm is stating for the construction of a fence.

3. Crest View Lutheran Home Site Plan Appeal/Varlances, 444~ Reservoir Blvd,
Representatives of Crest View appeared before the Planning and Zoning Con~nlsslon requestlr
site plan approval and three variances..?he Commisslon unanimously approved the site.plan
subject to addressing those concerns de~alled in a ~emo dated JUly 26, 1983 from the Assl~
ant City Engineer. Council members discussed the conditlons recommended by the Co~isslbn
regarding the variances being requested. Parking has been an on-gong problem for the nur-
sing home.
Motion by Hovland, second by Petkoff to grant the three variances as requested based on
the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission; the variances belng as fol-
lows:
a) One-story variance to permit the constructlon of a four-story str~cture. Pursuant
to Section 9.109(q) (2)(1), the height of a structure in a "R-3", Hultlple Famlly
District, shall not exceed three stories.
b) Seventy-five stall parking variance. Pursuant to Sectlon 9.116(4)(f), at least t~o
parking spaces for each dwelling unit is required.
c) Fifty-nine stall garage variance. Pursuant to Section 9.116(4)(f), at least one
parking space per dwelling shall be enclosed.
and including an additional 35 parking spaces to the south side of the existing build-
lng.
Mayor Nawrocki felt that the addltional 35 parking spaces being required to the exlstlng
parking 1or ~ould help alleviate the problem of visitor and employee parking that is pre-
sently being experienced. Councilman Hentges felt that the fifty-nine stall garage variance
being requested was excessive and that ultimately the residents would be needing additional
parking stalls
Motion by Hentges to amend the variance for fifty-nine stall garage to twenty-five. Motion.-
dies for lack of a second.

4. Kraus-Anderson, Inc. Conditional Use Permit/Site Plan Approval
Kraus-Anderson appeared before the Planning and Zoning Commlsslon requesting approval of
two conditional use permits and site plan approval to permit construction of two restau-
rants at 5030 and 5060 Central, namely, Wendyfs Hamburgers and Rax Roast Beef. The Intent
of this request was consideration of two proposals being planned as a slngle development.
Representatlves of Kraus-Anderson had met wlth residents from the area prior to the
Council meeting to address any concerns they might have. One property owner who lived
north of the property requested that the portion of the proposed fence that would abut
his property be left out.
Mayor Nawrocki had serious concerns regarding the traffic these two establishments would
generate in an already heavlly-trafficed area, namely 50th and Central Avenues. He felt
that the direct Impact on the neighborhood should be carefully looked at. Councilman
Hentges vlewed the building of these two restaurants would have a positive Impact as
they ~ould offer employment opportunities as well as pay taxes and would be an Improve-.
merit to what is there presently and has been there In the past.
Councilman Hentges had concern with Parcel C,of the three parcels of land in this proposal,
in that it was large enough in size to be used for something later other than what was
being specified ~n the proposal. The developers stated that thls parcel Is planned for
employee parking, touncilman Hentges requested that the City Attorney and the City Assessor
see that this par~el ls attached to Parcel B so it could not be utlllzed in a manner other
than what is being proposed.
Hotlon by Hentges, second by Petkoff to grant the Conditlonal Use Permits to Wendy's and
to Rax as requested on the follo~[ng co~ditio~s:
a) A slgnage package is submitted for each proposal which is in conformance with the
City's sign ordinance.
b) A lighting plan be submitted for approval by staff for the proposed development.

the southeast corner of 42nd and Central Avenues. The variance he Is requesting is for
the required 20-foot green area adjacent to residential propertles on 42nd Avenue.
The Planning and Zoning Con~isslon recon~ended approval of the variance request as well
as approving the site plan as presented subject to specific conditions. Considerable dis-
cussion en~ued regarding the conditions desired in the development. Mr. Ruvelson advised
the Council that he has had several discussions with the Engineering Department relative
to water flow and what measures can be taken to direct the course of the water in an
ceptable fashion. He anticipates this may be a problem and wishes for additlonal discuss-
ions with his engineers and City staff to resolve it. Councllman Hentges expressed concern
wlth areas west of Central Avenue that have experienced water problems and he addressed
traffic flow on 42nd Avenue.
Motion by Hentges, second by Hovland to waive the required 20 foot green area due to the
shape of the shallovmess of the lot based on the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission and subject to the following condltlons as recommended by the Traffic Commission
and the Engineering Department:
