The Boosters voted to give us $275 to pay for an additional grill. In recognition of this donation, the Columbia Heights Police Department recommends the following motion. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to accept a donation of $275 from the Columbia Heights Athletic Boosters to be used to purchase a gas grill. The grill will be used for city functions and the Police Department's neighborhood picnic program.

(/__ ITEM: AUTHORIZATION DISPOSE OF EQUIPMENT AT BY: Mark Winson ~G~--~''-- BY: AUCTION ~ .. /t~ , O'~ DATE: May 5, 1997// DATE: During the process of preparing a proposed budget for 1998, Public Works staff reviewed equipment needs, especially items due for replacement. Two pieces of equipment that are due for replacement are Unit #003, Vermeer root cutter and Unit #064, Roscoe Rubber tired roller. The root cutter is a 1975 Vermeer T-300A that was purchased in 1975 and is used to cut roots of trees that are pushing up sidewalk and curb sections. It has not been used in great amount for over five years. With the removal of many of the large elms due to disease, it is doubtful that it would receive much use over the next several years. The estimated replacement cost for the equipment is $20,000 and is scheduled in 1998. Staff feels that when a need arises for root cutting, the equipment could be rented or the work contracted. The rubber tired roller is a Roscoe SR9-T2 rubber tired roller and was purchased in t977. Rubber tired rollers are generally used for the breakdown compaction rolling on gravel base and asphalt wearing courses and for seal coating. With the limited amount of paving the crew does, they have generally used the steel wheel roller with good success. This equipment is scheduled for replacement in 1998 and has an estimated replacement cost of $20,000. Staff feels that is would be more cost efficient to rent this equipment if it is needed. The last piece is a trailer that was replaced last year. The old trailer was placed in the City auction with a minimum bid that was not met. The staff would be able to place these three pieces of equipment in the Hennepin County Equipment auction of June 12, 1997. It is felt that putting them in an equipment auction will result in more interest and hopefully higher bids than in the City auction. Recommended Motion: Move to authorize staff to dispose of the 1977 Roscoe rubber tired roller (Unit #064), 1975 Vermeer root cutter (Unit #003) and Felling Ft-7E tandem axle trailer (unit #230) at the June 12, 1997 Hennepin County Equipment auction. 97-260 COUNCIL ACTION: CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: 5/12/97 AGENDA SECTION: ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER o.,4 ITEM: FINAL PAYMENT FOR LABELLE PARK - BY: M.

Mr. Bona did not record the lotsplit and lot combination before the one year expiration, therefore, it must be reviewed again. Mr. Brian Bona is requesting a lotsplit of the property located at 4015 N.E. 7th Street legally described as Lot 20, Block 54, Columbia Heights Annex to Minneapolis, Anoka County, Mn.; together with half the vacated alley lying southerly of and adjacent to said Lot 20. The portion to be split is a 22.90 foot by 129.5 foot section of the south side of the lot. The property will be combining this 22.90 portion with the property located at 573 N.E. 40th Avenue where Mr. Bona's service station is located. He owns both properties and will be using the additional area for parking vehicles for the service station business. The enclosed survey shows the 22.90 portion to be split as proposed Tract B and that will be combined with proposed Tract C. When the lotsptit was approved, a Conditional Use Permit was approved which allowed a portion of a residential lot to be used for a commercial use if it is ~djacent to a commercial lot and within the same ownership. Several items were also required to be completed and were included as contingency items. These included the concrete curbing along the alley, fencing and construction of a six foot high fence. Ail of these items have been completed. Mr. Bona is also requesting site plan approval and a revision to the Conditional Use Permit to construct a 30' x 24' addition to the northeast corner of the building located at 573 N.E. 40th Avenue. This addition thereby squares off the building. A drawing has been submitted showing the current building, location of the proposed addition at the rear, existing parking and the fencing. Recently, Mr. Bona removed the underground gas storage tanks and intends to install cobblestone in front and re-asphalting the entire lot. The new addition is 30 feet by 24 feet and will be used as a fourth service bay. It is also planned to be 13 feet in height. The existing fourth service bay located behind the main entrance/office area will be converted to more office space, lunchroom and storage area. There will be a total of four service bays. The new bay garage door is planned to be facing the alley. A neighbor suggested that the door face north to cut down on noise. Mr. Bona does not feel moving the door to the north wall will make much difference. Ail required setbacks are being met at this site. Adequate parking is also being provided for the auto repair and office use. Paul's Pro Service is the only business operating out of this facility. Required screening at the rear of this site as well as the proper dumpster enclosure has been completed. Additional landscaping and design is being planned for the front of the store as indicated on the drawing. Plantings that are installed will be a sturdy/hearty type of plant that will survive this environment. Curb and gutter will also be completed along the south end of the site. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the totsplit. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the lotsplit as it meets code requirements provided that the lotsplit be recorded and the lot combination recorded with the Anoka County Assessors office prior to issuance of a building permit for the addition. Move to approve the Site Plan and the Conditional Use Permit provided the required construction and engineered drawings are submitted for review by the Building Inspector and Engineering Department prior to issuance of a building permit. /COU~C!L ACTION ccag0597.nol RESOLUTION NO. 97 - 3.5 SUBDIVISION REQUEST CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS 590 - 40TH AVENUE N.E.

COUNCIL ACTION: CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: May 12, 1997 AGEND% SECTION: ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER NO: ~ PUBLIC HEARI~GS Planning and Zoning3-~ APPROVAL ITEM: Rezoning, Bob Williams/Jeff Bahe BY: Tina Goodroa~ BY: NO: Case ~9704-10, 3701 Central Ave.~o~ DATE: May 7, 1997~' The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request of Mr. Bob Williams and Jeff Bahe who are requesting the consideration of rezoning properties located at 3701, 3807 and 3817 Central Avenue (east side), 3740, 3802 Reservoir Boulevard and 3816 Central Avenue (west side, old Honda sales site) from the present CBD, Central Business District, and R-3 Zoning to a RB, Retail Business, district. In addition to the properties listed above, the City of Columbia Heights proposed to also rezone the properties on Central Avenue between 37th and 39th Avenue on both sides and 3701 Reservoir Boulevard. Ail of these properties are currently zoned CBD except for 3740 and 3802 Reservoir Boulevard which are zoned R-3, multiple family residential. The reason for the rezoning is due to a redevelopment of a gas station, convenience store, express restaurant and car wash on the east side of Central Avenue and a development of motor vehicle repair bays on the west side of Central Avenue. The additional parcels for the rezoning are proposed in order to prevent a "spot zoning" situation. The attached Ordinance gives the legal descriptions in full of the proposed rezoning. Also included are section maps that will visually outline the area. The property Mr. Williams and Mr. Bahe own and propose rebuilding their station on is currently CBD. Because it is CBD, the existing station is non-conforming as motor fuel stations and motor vehicle repair are not permitted or conditional uses in the Central Business District. When Staff was first contacted about this redevelopment, discussion took place regarding how to rezone this property. Taking into consideration the proposed uses and surrounding uses, Staff is most comfortable with rezoning to "RB", Retail Business. This district allows, by conditional use permit, motor fuel stations and repair limited to four (4) bays. However, if you recall, in February the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended an ordinance amendment that would eliminate the restriction on the number of bays. The Retail Business District is the district most similar to CBD and would be the most logical district for this rezoning. The reason for including all of the properties on Central Avenue between 37th and 39th Avenue in addition to 3701 Reservoir Boulevard and the other property owned by Mr. Williams and Mr. Babe on Reservoir is to make the redevelopment area and adjacent land consistent zoning districts. No existing use in this area will become non-conforming with this rezoning although the existing homes will remain non- conforming. Residential structures in any commercial district would be considered non-conforming with the entire area between 37th and 39th Avenue being rezoned, we will prevent any issue of "spot zoning" for this proposed redevelopment. Much discussion took place regarding the rezoning request. Several neighboring residents have expressed their opposition to the rezoning and removal of the two homes on Reservoir Boulevard. They are concerned over the encroachment of commercial on Reservoir Boulevard. The minutes of the meeting will provide comments made on the rezoning in addition to the remaining items. The Comprehensive Plan does designate the area between 37th and 39th Avenue on Central Avenue for commercial redevelopment where this Conoco project is proposed. The Comprehensive Plan directs that the City should allow and promote redevelopment to commercial activity in this area. Additional information regarding the Comprehensive Plan was included with a memo dated April 4, 1997. Please reference this information while reviewing this case.

V AVE ' ~ ~ 'z! 24- /( CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS Date: April 4, 1997 ro~ Re: Honorable Mayor Joseph Sturdevant City Council Members ~ Tina Goodroad, Zoning Coordin Conoco Redevelopment As all of you are aware much discussion has taken place regarding the Conoco redevelopment during the last two months. There also exists much resident input and concern over the project and the impact it may or may not have on the adjacent neighborhood. At their last meeting the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval for the project thus the same requests will be on the City Council agenda for April 14, 1997. In preparation of that, staff'would like to provide some information on two planning and zoning related tools; the Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan; and how it relates to this redevelopment proposal and the responsibility staff and City Council have in caring out the directive in the plan. Zoning Ordinanc~ The first tool utilized in review of the Conoco redevelopment is the Zoning Ordinance which is used during the plat, site plan and conditional use permit reviews to ensure compliance with the codes. Staff reviews the drawings on this or any other proposal to ensure it meets the standards set in the current Zoning Ordinance. The job of the Planning and Zoning Commission is to review this same information and if items are found that do not meet the code, requirements for adjustments are made prior to approvals being made. Comprehensive Plan The second tool is the City's Comprehensive Plan with the latest update adopted in 1992. The Comprehensive Plan is a compilation of policy statements, goals, standards, and maps for guiding the physical, social and economic development, both private and public, of the municipality and its environs. The plan addresses the City as a whole and also specific areas of concern. Sections of the Comprehensive Plan will be mentioned in this memo and are attached for your review. Some areas of the Comprehensive Plan specifically acknowledge the development directives of the Conoco redevelopment area. The land use section of the plan is designed to proactively set forth the City's intentions for the use of each site within the City. The Comprehensive Plan discusses the Central Avenue redevelopment area (page 35) as an area in which the City "should promote private redevelopment of underutilized and/or deteriorated sites." The plan also highlights special interest areas of which the Conoco redevelopment area is a part. (The enclosed map shows a boundary area at 37th and Central marked number 11). This portion is stated to be "composed primarily of housing, and the City should allow and promote their redevelopment to commercial activity" (page 36). The Comprehensive Plan also clarifies that "the entire Central Avenue corridor is of concern to the City as it forms the major image that others have of the community, it is a major location of investment, taxes and jobs, and it is used frequently by residents of Columbia Heights for shopping and travel"(page 35). Finally, the Community Image portion of the Comprehensive Plan addresses ways to better define its edges and entryways at the major entrances to the City to create a certain image. With this redevelopment the City will be receiving land and/or money as a required dedication at the south point of the Conoco lot for a permanent entry sign to the City. This project will aid in fulfilling these specific guides in the Comprehensive Plan. Other standards being fulfilled by this project include the increased use of natural landscaping and improved screening at a commercial site. This improved roadway landscaping will improve the appearance of both Central Avenue and Reservoir Blvd. In conclusion, this proposed project will address several directives outlined in the Comprehensive Plan for redevelopment, improved image and appearance for the community. The plan should be considered during any redevelopment review process. The guidelines adopted in this plan were done so in order to direct the City towards positive growth and development activities. 000000 .mm m m ~m~m~m =~mn.~ =mn. ==~s. /- -/~ /,,---. ,,/ ' -' CENTRAL _ .. ~,. , _, -'.~ I11 I I I I I I , I I I I I I CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: May 12, 1997 AGEND% SECTION: ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER NO: ~ PUBLIC }~SAR1NGS Planning and Zoning~-~ APPROVAL ITEM: Preliminary & Final Plat ~.~ BY: Tina Goodr0a~ BY: NO: Case #9704-11, 3701 Central Ave. DATE: May 7, 1997 The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request of Mr. Bahe and Mr. Williams for Preliminary and Final Plat approval for the Conoco Development. The proposed plat includes property owned by Mr. Williams and Mr. Bahe including 3701, 3817, 3816, 3807 Central Avenue and 3740 and 3802 Reservoir Boulevard. These properties are the selected sites for a new gas station, car wash, convenience store and express restaurant on the east side and the motor vehicle repair on the west side. The reason for requiring the plat is because of the number of currently individual sites from parts of three platted subdivisions that will be combined into one plat. The plat requirement is also due to the vacating of an alley located between Central Avenue and Reservoir Boulevard which currently runs north and south through the property to be platted. The City is however, requiring that the alley be relocated to a site at the north end and directed towards Reservoir Boulevard. The easements required for this alley are included on the plat where a sixteen (16) foot drainage and utility easement is indicated on both the preliminary and final plat. The Planning and Zoning Commission is requiring this drainage and utility easement to also be dedicated as the alley on the Final Plat prior to filing it with Anoka County. Staff has also asked that the additional five (5) feet of land immediately north of the alley be added to this 16 feet for a total of 21 feet. The reason for this is that it is cleaner for the city to have the entire 21 feet dedicated versus Conoco owning the five feet. However, Conoco is still responsible for constructing the retaining wall and fence and maintaining both. A contingency regarding this will be incorporated with the Conditional Use Permit approval. That way if Conoco were to sell a new owner would be required to obtain a CUP for operation of the station and the maintenance of the wall and fence would transfer to the new owner. The proposed plat has met the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for preliminary plat review since the last meeting. The Engineering Department did a review of the changes made to the preliminary and the final plat and submitted a memo with their comments. The Final Plat also includes dedication of all drainage easements and all other areas reserved for sanitary sewer, utility and water main easements. Ail required signature spaces have also been provided. The Platting Section of the Zoning Ordinance, includes miscellaneous provisions which stipulates a dedication of land and/or cash equivalent when a new plat is completed. The Ordinance requires that each plat shall hereafter provide for a dedication to the municipality an area not less than ten (10%) percent of the total proposed area to be subdivided, less any acreage devoted to streets. The requirement may be waived and/or modified by the Council, after recommendation by the Planning Commission, for one of the following reasons: 1. The enforcement of this provision would act as an extreme hardship to the property owner, because of the size of the tract involved, the topography of the land (zoning areas involved) or the owner has already dedicated comparable areas in other subdivisions in the City. 2. The owner contributes a cash equivalent to the City Treasurer for the "Park and Recreation Funds" of the City. A cash equivalent shall be a sum mutually agreed upon representing 10% of the market value of the tract in an underdeveloped state on the date of the preliminary plat is submitted to the City. COUNCIL ACTION: CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: May 12, 1997 AGENDA SECTION: ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER NO: Planning and Zoning APPROVAL ITEM: Preliminary & Final Plat BY: Tina Goodroad BY: NO: Case ~9704-1t, 3701 Central Ave. DATE: May 7, 1997 The Planning and Zoning Commission discussed with the owner getting a piece of land dedicated to the City for a "welcome to Columbia Heights sign". The site plan enclosed shows a 3,650 square foot area at the south tip of the lot for this dedication. For your information, below is a list of properties in the redevelopment area, size of each lot and values of land, building and total based on taxes payable in 1996. Address Lot Size Land Value 3701 Central Avenue 3807 Central Avenue 3814 Central Avenue 3817 Central Avenue 3828 Central Avenue 3740 Reservoir Blvd. 3802 Reservoir Blvd. Buildinq Value Total 13,174 102,800 86,200 189,000 4,019 35,100 8,700 43,800 14,223 66,000 49,700 1!5,700 4,172 21,000 39,000 60,000 13~065 65,300 10,600 75,900 5,220 22,000 47,200 69,200 6,136 22,000 44,300 ~6,300 TOTAL 60,009 324,219 285,700 619,900 10% 6,000 32,421.90 28,570 Staff has also required the land 12 feet wide north of the alley and 10 feet wide south of the alley be combined with the 16 foot alley in the City's dedication. Thus, this land amount of 2,336 square feet will be added to the 3,650 square feet of dedication at the south tip of the lot for a total City dedication of 5,986 square feet which is only 14 square feet less of the total land dedication amount required by the Ordinance. Staff suggests accepting this total land dedication of 5,986 square feet and not requiring any additional cash equivalent as it is so close to the 10% total. These changes will be indicated on the Final Plat prior to recording it with Anoka County. Finally, a Quit Claim Deed will be required to be attached to the property the company is conveying to the City. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the preliminary and final plat provided the following are completed and approved by Staff: 1. The dedication amount of 5,986 square feet be accepted to fulfill the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. 2. The drainage/utility alley easement of 16 feet plus additional 22 feet adjacent to said alley be indicated on the Final Plat. 3. The dedication of 3,650 square feet be indicated on the Pinal Plat as an outlot. 4. A Quit Claim Deed be prepared and approved by the City Attorney and attached to the property the company is conveying to the City. COUNCIL ACTION: ccag0497.no4 ~ 0 >. 0 ¢) () ~ I CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: May 12, 1997 ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER AGENDANo: CT!ON: PUBLI6 HEARINGS Planning and Zoning/-~ APPROVAL ITEM: Site Plan, East Site ~& BY: Tina Goodroa BY: NO: Case 9705-15, 3701 Central Ave. DATE: May 7, 1997~/~ EAST SITE The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request of Mr; Bahe and Mr. Williams for Site Plan approval. As the new east side site plan indicates, this site will contain one structure including a convenience store, express style restaurant, car wash and six (6) fueling stations. The structure is planned to be two stories on the west half only and one story on the east half. The foundation footprint of the building is 6,750 square feet with a car wash of 1,740 square feet. The footprint of the building is 350 square feet larger due to moving the restaurant to the main floor and allowing for an equipment room. A car wash equipment room has been added to the north end of the building because the equipment has been eliminated from the second floor. The main floor will serve as the convenience store, retail, and express style restaurant with the upper floor housing only office space, some storage, employee lockers, breakroom, etc. Only 600 to 800 square feet of this area is for office use for their business. The basement will be used strictly to store retail merchandise. Both uses, the gas station and restaurant, require a Conditional Use Permit. A_n additional change to this drawing is the patio area with four tables located in front of the east end of the building. The express restaurant will be at this end so the tables can be used by these patrons. Obviously, these tables are strictly seasonal. This idea originated from a second meeting between the owners and neighbors when the neighbors proposed this outdoor seating with a walkway connecting to the sidewalk on Reservoir Boulevard. Fencing is planned around the patio to control the area. The alley location will remain the same. However, since the last Planning and Zoning meeting, Staff has asked the owners to dedicate the land ten (10) feet.wide south of the alley and the twelve (12) foot wide piece north of the alley. The site plan indicates this change. This will also be added to the plat prior to recording it with Anoka County. The architect has also added landscaping to the City's dedication area. The reason for this added amount is to avoid having these ten and twelve foot wide pieces owned by Conoco and not the City when it is abutting the dedicated alley. This not only makes the alley dedication cleaner, it adds more of a buffer of 38 feet between uses and adds to the total dedication the owners are required to provide. The propane tank has been eliminated from the site although the business will still sell the refill tanks at this site on the west end of the sidewalks. Setbacks Ail required zoning setbacks have been met at the east side. Additional setbacks are required including Section 9.116(18) of the Motor Fuel Section of the Zoning Ordinance which requires the setback of any canopy or weather protection, freestanding or projecting from the station structure, shall not be less than ten (10) feet from an abutting property line. The site plan indicates that this ten foot requirement is met on the west side. This is the only canopy side near a street right of way. A required landscape yard is also being provided along the'east side between the lot and Reservoir Boulevard. Both solid wood fencing and trees are planned to provide screening for the neighbors on Reservoir Boulevard.

Restaurants are required to have at least one (1) parking space for each three (3) seats based on capacity design. Office space is required to have at least one {1) parking space for each two hundred (200) square feet of net floor area. Parking calculations for the east side will layout as follows (however, please note that the net floor area allows for exclusion of spaces such as window displays, fitting rooms, stairs, escalators, dead storage and heating and utility rooms): Parkinq Calculations Net Square Feet/Factor of Required Retail Main Level 3,600/200 s.f. 18 Upper Level 0/0 0 Office Main Level 0/0 0 Upper Level 800/200 4 Restaurant Main Level Express Restaurant 30/3 seats 10 Deli 6/3 seats 2 Total Parking Spaces Required Total Parking Spaces Provided 34 34 Required handicap parking spaces of two van accessible spaces with a nine foot space and an eight (8) foot aisle is provided. All other spaces must be 9' x 10' parking spaces as indicated on the site plan. Landscapinq/Screeninq On a portion of the east side of the lot a six foot high solid cedar fence is planned between the parking spaces and property line. This fencing will also screen the vacuums. New trees are also planned along this east side as well as maintenance of the existing trees. At the north line of the lot south of the City's dedication and alley a fence and new trees are planned to buffer the lot from the residences. The total buffer area is 38 feet wide with trees planted on both sides of the alley. Finally, additional plantings are planned along the east side of the building facing Central Avenue. Ail required screening/landscaping is being provided. Ail trash is being stored inside the building. In the future, if any trash is stored outside, an enclosure must be provided. This new site plan separates the lot from the large dedication area at the south point of the lot. This area is separated with a stretch of trees. This dedication area is 3,650 square feet and combined with the portion north and south of the alley totals 5,986 square feet. COUNCIL ACTION: CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: May 12, 1997 AGENDA SECTION: ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER NO: Planning and Zoning APPROVAL ITEM: Site Plan, East Site BY: Tine Goodroad BY: NO: Case 9705-15, 3701 Central Ave. DATE: May 7, 1997 Page 3 Traffic/Access Entrances into the east site have a few changes. The owners have been working with MNDOT in trying to get approval for all three curb cuts on the Central Avenue side of the lot. Currently, MNDOT has objected to these openings and will only allow two curb cuts. (Please refer to the enclosed letter.) Three curb cuts are important to the overall access to and traffic flow within the lot. The curb cut for the car wash is important to prevent these cars from spilling onto the main lot. The owners want to make this project work and do have a second plan if MNDOT does not allow the three cuts to Central. Again, they are working on this, but most likely will not have an answer by May 12, 1997. Thus, a second scheme was drawn showing the elimination of the curb cut for the car wash and the path cars will take out of the carwash, south along side the building and onto the lot. This area will be marked as an exit only. This alternate plan will eliminate landscaping and one parking space. To make up for this loss of a parking space, they will reduce the upstairs office space to 600 square feet, therefore, only needing 33 parking stalls rather than 34 parking spaces. The owners wish to have both plans approved with the contingency that Staff ensures the plan MNDOT ultimately approves is what is constructed. On the west side of the lot, only one curb cut is planned for the site in addition to the alley north of the station. This change fulfills the requests of neighbors on Reservoir Boulevard. A new fact was discussed concerning the operation of the repair. Evidently, the company intends to have people make their orders for their car repairs on the east side and then send them over to the west side for the repair. This issue was of some concern to the Traffic Commission. However, they did approve it. It is also not an issue Staff reviews as the Zoning Ordinance does not permit us to control how a business plans to operate. The Traffic Commission unanimously recommended the site plan. Other Issue~ As mentioned at the last meeting, underground heated cables will be used throughout the lot to aid in snow removal. Catch basins and drainage plans will be reviewed by the Engineering Department. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve both schemes of the site plan (east side) as it meets appropriate zoning requirements provided Staff ensures the plan ultimately approved by MNDOT is what is constructed and provided the following items are completed prior to occupancy: 1. Approval of the first and second reading of Ordinance %1341 (rezoning of redevelopment property). 2. Approval of Final Plat with changes regarding the dedication of alley.and land being made prior to recording. 3. Review and approval of proposed grades, catch basins and drainage by the Engineering Department. 4. Apron construction through the sidewalk must be designed for the convenience and safety of pedestrian traffic. 5. The property owner retains ownership and responsibility for all monitoring wells on the property and in the right of way area. 6. Ail building construction drawings be approved by the Building Official, Engineering Department and Pire Inspector and An0ka County Health Department. ] COUNCIL ACTION: I 3~.

Robert A. Williams Jeffrey Bahe Jeff's Bobby & Steve's Auto World 3701 Central Avenue NE Columbia Heights, MN Gentlemen: As you know, last night Duane and I attended an informational meeting with appointed members of the neighborhood group affected by our development plans for the Conoco site. The discussions focused on concerns of the neighbors relating to issues past, present and future. Remrniscent of our first Planning Commission hearing, the group expressed a disappointment with past experiences of the current facilities. More specifically snow removal practices, extended time periods of vehicle storage; loud and persistent late night noise levels, etc. We explained that these are operational matters that we would verbalize to you for your consideration and appropriate actions. We did reiterate, to the group, Jeffrey's commitment to address these issues. The talks then turned to issues relating to the Project. We prefaced these discussions with a hypothetical situation that supposed the twa residential lots proposed to be rezoned are required for the success of this Project and wilt be rezoned. Based on that premise, what are the remaining issues. Their response was both candid and informative and warrants our review. The representative for the neighborhood commented on the following issues: 1). The Propane storage tank and its location is perceived to be a safety issue, as well as having the potential to create onsite traffic congestion. 2). The 24 hour operation of the fuel dispensing and convenience store would be acceptable. They would request you restrict the operation of the Car Wash and the Restaurant to early morning thru late evening hours. Although not specifically defined, 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. ThoSe parameters should be mutually defined r . -and agreed. 3). The car being suspended inside the facility is an-item that this group would prefer not to be included as part of this Project. They feel this wilt contribute to loitering of young persons. 4). They expressed a desire to eliminate the Car Wash or' relocate this activity to the west site. Be aware, our studies indicate the west site does not have adequate land mass to support this activity. We explained .this to them and they seem 4506 Robin Circle - Minneapolis, MN 55~-22 Office (6~2) 537-5658 · Fax {612) 537-8184- willing to overlook this issue. 5). They would prefer to have the west site suppod a larger portion of the retail sale of auto parts. We may face parking allowance issues, in that the parking currently proposed is adequate for the intended use of this facility and will not accommodate additional uses. 6). They have suggested restricting the use of the second floor of the' east site to housing the office and storage needs required to support your business only leaving no marketable space on the second level. 7). They have also suggested the second floor of the east site to occupy no more than approximately 50% of the building footprint and that any second story building be oriented towards the Central Avenue end of the building. 8). The conversation returned to the fundamental concern for preservation of the neighborhood and the land use of the residential properties under consideration for rezoning. They requested that the most northerly lot on Reservoir Blvd be dedicated to landscape plantings and green areas. They would like to have some input in the planting selections. We indicated our studies have suggested the entire may not be available. Discussions turned to request that we solicit restaurant vendors such as Bruegger's Bagels, Starbucks Coffee, etc. based on their belief that this menu and caliber of this type of restauranteur will have a more positive impact to the neighborhood. With your permission, we will pursue information from these vendors.

Columbia Heights, MN 55421-3878 Dear Tina Goodroad: SUBJECT: Bobby & Steve's Auto World Preliminary Plat Review P97-026 East and West of Trunk Highway (TH) 65, North of 37th Avenue NE Columbia Heights, Anoka County CS 2710 The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) has reviewed the Bobby & Steve's Auto World preliminary plat in compliance with Minnesota Statute 505.03, subd. 2, Plats. We find the plat acceptable for further development with consideration of the following comments. Mn/DOT will be eliminating the existing center median openings on TH 65. These median openings have become hazardous due to the high traffic volumes and the lack of left turn lanes on the roadway. No new center median openings will be allowed. Mn/DOT holds the right to restrict access to TH 65. In accordance to State law, Mn/DOT is required to provide only one access to a parcel if no other access is available. In addition, these accesses can be limited to right-in and fight-out movements only. Furthermore, greater access to TH 65 would multiply the points of potential vehicle conflict on this arterial. Arterials such as TH 65 were constructed to serve regional mobility needs rather than to provide property access. When access points increase along a highway, they degrade the highway's capacity and safety. However, for these sites, we will consider greater access to the highway than legally required. We will allow both of the proposed accesses to the west site. However, these accesses will be limited to fight-in/fight-out only. In reference 't° the revised site plan submitted March 21, 1997, we will allow two accesses to the east site. These accesses will be limited to a right-out only for the northern-most access and a right-in/right-out only for the center access. An equal opportunity employer Tina Goodroad April 2, 1997 page two We will not allow the southern-most proposed access to the ~ast site. This proposed access is not safely distanced from the TH 65/37th Street intersection. In addition, traffic avoiding the TH 65/P,.eservoir Boulevard intersection could also improperly use this proposed access in combination with the southern-most Reservoir Boulevard access as a short-cut or informal right mm lane to TH 65. Approved access permits will be required on both sites. Bill Warden of our Permits Section may be contacted at 582-1443 for further information regarding permit processes and the appropriate forms. Any use of or work within Mn/DOT right of way will require an approved Mn/DOT permit. The permit required depends upon the nature of the proposed work. As noted above, Bill Warden of our Permits Section may be contacted for further information regarding the permit process. Please contact me at 582-1654 with any questions regarding this review.

NE Dear ~s. Goodroad and f~embers of the Planning Com~,~ission, 1~e live in the Columbia Park neighborhood in NE ~qinneopolis and a~-c very much opposed to the expansion of the Conoco gas station at ~Yth ~ Centr~l Avenues. i~e believe that it would negatively impact the residential ~rcas of Reservoir Boulevard nnd the neig~orhing rcside~ti~,l ~ro,,s of t%'aite Pork and Columbia Pork ~n the ~linneapolis side. This is a project that does no~ belong in the vicinity of residential neighborhoods. This e~pansion would change n large stretch of Central Ave. and Reservoir Blvd. North of City limits in n very undesirable way and could have a ripple effect South of ~th Ave..nd beyond. It could further destabilize an nlre;,dy marginal area that includes ~he ]{i-Lo .qotel and a used car lot on either side of Central. l'r~ffic patterns nt this intersection are already very complicated because of Reservoir Blvd. and it is difficult nnd even dangerous to cross on foot. minneapolis neishborhoods have worked very hard through their Revitalization .~rograms (NRP) to make their neishborhoods more livable. There needs to be some collaboration on planninF~ and zonin;~ decisions between the City of Columbia Heights and the City of ~linnc~polis when the project in question borders City limits. This ~ns station expansion does not ha~>cn in a vdcuum even if it were zone d accordingly. The impac~ on SUrl'OundiDt.. arez~s nnd the blighting effects hove to be considered. Buffer zones are co~pletely absent between the two cities ~vhen land use is very different, even incompatible. Ex~mple: The 5linneapolis side of ~7 Ave. has residential housing, the Columbia ~leigh~s side is industrial. Zoning codes of Columbia tieights do not seem to take iht6 account ~he potential blighuing effects of such incompatible use on their neighbors across the-street. I am enclosing photo of tr~iler si, les property on 3?th Ave. with t'c, ttered fence to illustrate {ny point. I hope your decisions will be m~de with the lon~-r~n~e ~ell--bein~ of everybody concerned not just because this project would bring in additional tax money. Relo- cation is also one way tn_ 8o. Cleaning up the pollution from the leaking t~mk(s) should be a priority. Sincerely Yours, 1 ,.aLt CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: May 12, 1997 AGENDA~ECTION: ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER NO: l~ PUBLIC ~IEARII~GS Planning and Zoning APPROVAL ITEM: Site Plan, West Site ~ ,~ BY: Tina Goodroad BY: NO: Case 9704-11, 3701 Central Ave. DATE: May 12, 1997-~' The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request of Mr. Bahe and Mr. Williams for Site Plan Approval of the west site. The west site will be used strictly for motor vehicle repair. This use is contingent upon the approval of the rezoning to "RB", Retail Business as "RB" is the only district in which minor motor vehicle repair is allowed. A conditional use permit will also be required. The west site plan has a few minor changes. Parking will be located along the east and south property lines. The 8,280 square foot building is designed for ten (10) bays, two of which are for quick lube service. Originally, these two bays were planned with an exit to the alley and this has been eliminated on the new plans. Ail ten bays will enter/exit from the front. The owners plan to use a portion of the main level and basement level for storage and conduct small engine repair in the middle of the structure where the entrance is located. Ail setback requirements are being met at this site. Qff-Street Parkinq Section 9.116(4) (s&t) of the Zoning Ordinance requires motor vehicle repair to have at least six (6) parking spaces plus two (2) off-street parking spaces for each service stall. Retail use requires one space for each two hundred (200) square feet of net floor area. Parking calculations for the west side will layout as follows: Service Bays: Service Shop: Retail: Ten <t0) x 2 per bay = 20 Repair, 800 s.f. divided by 200 = 400 s.f. divided by 200 = Total Required: Total Provided: 26 26 Appropriate size of stalls are being provided as well as one required handicap van accessible space. L~ndscaDin~/Screeninq Landscaping plans on the west side include plantings and trees. Plantings are proposed at the northeast and southeast corners where pylon signage is proposed. Trees are planned along the rear of the building in between the structure and alley. The patio area from the original plan has been eliminated. Trash will still be kept at bay !0, thus, no outside dumpster is planned. If, in the future, any waste container of any kind is left outside an appropriate enclosure will be required. No additional screening is required on the north or south ends as the abutting properties are both commercial. Traffic/Access The west site will use an existing curb cut located at the southeast end. A second curb cut is proposed at the north end to allow for two accesses. Both curb cuts will be 24 feet and this plan will have to be reviewed by MNDOT. LiqhtinG A lighting plan is being prepared and will be presented by the architect at the meeting. COUNCIL ACTION: CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: May 12, 1997 AGENDA SECTION: ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER NO: Planning and Zoning APPROVAL ITEM: Site Plan, West Site BY: Tina Goodroad BY: NO: Case 9704-11, 3701 Central Ave. DATE: May 7, 1997 Elevation drawings for both sites are also being prepared and will be presented at the meeting. Staff has reviewed all site related issues and is satisfied with the plan provided contingency items are completed prior to issuance of an occupancy permit. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the Site Plan as it meets appropriate zoning requirements provided the following contingency items are completed and approvals are made prior to occupancy: 1. Approval of first and second reading of Ordinance 1341 (rezoning of redevelopment property). 2. Approval of Final Plat. 3. Review and approval of the proposed grades and drainage by the Engineering Department. 4. Apron construction through the sidewalk must be designed for the convenience and safety of pedestrian traffic. 5. The property owner retains ownership and responsibility for all monitoring wells on the property and in the right of way. 6. Ail building construction drawings be approved by the Building Official, Engineering Department and Fire Inspector and the Anoka County Health Department. 7. Plat and Site Plan be approved by the Traffic Commission. 8. Plat and Site Plan be approved by MNDOT. COUNCIL ACTION: ccag049?.no6 l I.._ ,~M T PAL--' CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: MAY 12, 1997 AGENDA SECTION: ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER NO: ~ PUBLIC HEARINGS Planning and Zoning APPROVAL ITEM: Conditional Use Permit ~_~ BY: Tina Goodroa~) BY: NO: Case 09704-tt, 3701 Central Ave. DATE: May 7, 1997~ The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request of Mr. Bob Williams and Jeff Bahe for two Conditional Use Permits to operate a motor fuel station with repair and an express restaurant to allow the construction of the new station on the east side and repair on the west. Section 9.t13(2) (g-h) of the Retail Business Section of the Zoning Ordinance requires a Conditional Use Permit to operate a motor fuel station (minor) and major fuel stations with minor repairs (not to exceed four (4) bays) subject to Section 9.117. A CUP is also required for 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). Hours of operation are limited to 1:00 a.m.. The site plan indicates a convenience store on the east side which will contain a deli on the main floor and an express style restaurant also on the main level. The west side will contain an 8,280 square foot structure for motor vehicle repair with ten (10) bays, two of which will be used strictly for quick lube. Since an extensive site plan review was just completed, I will not reiterate what was discussed. However, the approval of the Conditional ~se Permits will be contingent upon the approval of the site plan as well as the other planning related requests for this redevelopment. It should be clarified that appropriate parking is being provided for each use, setbacks are being met and required screening is provided. The Conditional Use Permits are effective for one year from approval. The reason I bring this up is because the owners have not committed to a specific express restaurant. If the owners fail in getting a restaurant operating in one years time, this CUP approval will have to be reviewed. Conditional Use Permits are also helpful if problems with the site develop. Any CUP can be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission and even revoked if violations of the permits are identified and not fixed within an appropriate time frame. Staff would like to propose a one year review for the first year from the date of occupancy to review the Conditional Use Permits. This review will be held with the Planning and Zoning Commission where any concerns, problems (if there are any), can be addressed. This might help the neighbors feel more comfortable with the development if they know the City is using this tool, at least for the first year. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the two Conditional Use Permits as all Zoning requirements are being met provided the following contingencies are completed and required approvals are made prior to occupancy: 1. Approval of first and second reading of Ordinance 1341 (rezoning). 2. Approval of Final Plat. 3. Approval of Site Plan and related site plan contingencies. 4. Require the Planning and Zoning Commission to review the Conditional Use Permits one year from the date the occupancy permit is issued.

These documents were submitted to the Anoka County Registrar of Titles for recording, but have been rejected. The Examiner of Titles, James Pauly, will not approve the deeds for filing inasmuch as the ordinance specifically indicates that the city shall sell the property to John M. Hansen in accordance with certain terms and conditions. Since the deeds run to the current owners, and not John M. Hansen, the Examiner of Titles has rejected the ordinance. I am enclosing herewith copies of the documents returned from the Anoka County Registrar of Titles. I am writing to request that the City of Columbia Heights issue a new ordinance authorizing the mayor and city manager to execute the deeds indicated by the enclosed copies.

CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: May 12, 1997 AGENDA SECTION: ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY NLANAGER NO: Second Reading Community Development APPROVAL ITEM: Ordinance ~t344, Adopting the 1995 BY: Mel Coi!ova/Ken ~_..By~ Mn. State Building Code and Fee Structure Anderson NO: ~ ~-~-~ DATE: May 8, 1997 Attached is Ordinance ~1344, Adopting the Minnesota State Building Code. This Ordinance provides for the application, administration and enforcement of the Minnesota State Building Code by regulating the erection, construction, enlargement, alteration, repair, moving, removal, demolition, conversion, occupancy, equipment, use, height, area and maintenance of all buildings and/or structures in this municipality; provides for the issuance of permits and collection of fees thereof; provides penalties for violation thereof; repeals all ordinances and parts of ordinances that conflict therewith. This Ordinance was originally adopted in substantially the same form on November 13, 1995 with the exception of the fees. The fees were left at the amounts in the 1988 fee schedule. Also attached is a copy of the 1988 fee schedule that is currently in use as well as the fee schedule representing the new proposed fees as listed in the 1994 schedule. We anticipate there will be additional revenue generated from these fees which may be used towards meeting our costs for upgrading our housing and commercial building stock. Specifically, the funds can be used to establish a renewable redevelopment fund to raze dangerous, substandard, and/or vacant buildings. For the properties with structures which must be razed, if the redevelopment fund monies are to be utilized for the up-front expenses of demolition and removal of the unsafe structures, these costs may also be specially assessed to the property. When the property is sold in the future the special assessments will be paid in full. The special assessment proceeds can reimburse the monies to the redevelopment fund which can in turn be used to demolish other unsafe structures in the City. This will provide a proactive way for the City to fund removal of deteriorated buildings which are dangerous to the public and an "eyesore" and blemish to an otherwise attractive neighborhood. The first reading of this Ordinance was heard at the April 28, 1997 meeting of the City Council. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Ordinance %t344, there being ample copies available to the public. Move to adopt Ordinance #1344, an Ordinance adopting the 1995 Minnesota State Building Code and fee schedule. COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 1344 .'

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS Meeting of: May 12, 1997 AGENDA SECTION: ITEHS FOR CONSIDERATION ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER NO: q Community Development%i~f% APPROVAL ITEM: Emergency Ordinance No~ 1347 BY: Ken Anderson~ BY: NO: Re: Licensino Moratnr~lTm DATE: May 7, 1997 Attached is Ordinance No. 1347 an emergency ordinance regarding a six (6) month moratorium on the establishment and operation of gun shops and gun sales. This issue was raised as Community Development staff has received an inquiry for someone interested in opening a business selling guns at 48th and University. The Zoning Ordinance does not list gun sales or gun shops as a permitted or conditional use in any zoning district. Obviously a number of issues and concerns relate to this type of request and where a business such as this is located. Police Chief Tom Johnson provided a reply in his memo dated April 28, 1997 which lists several concerns over this use, some of which have been included in this emergency ordinance. It should be noted that the City cannot totally prohibit or exclude this use City wide through zoning controls. However, conditions can be placed through the Conditional Use Permit process and a specific district can be chosen to allow this use. Restrictions on this type of business may include proximity to residential zoned areas, schools, day care facilities, churches and other related businesses, etc. The City of Richfield has incorporated several controls in their ordinance which is attached for your review. The six month moratorium will enable City Council and staff to research and develop an ordinance to impose reasonable conditions for this type of use and choose the appropriate zoning designation(s) for same. An emergency ordinance may be enacted by the City Council 1) without publication of the ordinance, 2) without two readings, 3) takes effect immediately upon passage, and 4) requires four (4) affirmative votes of the City Council in order to be approved. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1347, as ample copies are available to the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Ordinance No. 1347, Being an Emergency Ordinance Pursuant to the City Code of 1977 and Pertaining to Zoning Amendments, Regarding a Six (6) Month Moratorium on the Establishment and Operation of Gun Shops and Gun Sales within the City of Columbia Heights. COUNCIL ACTION: ~bt~council. ORDINANCE NO. 1347 BEING AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE PURSUANT TO THE CITY CODE OF 1977 AND PERTAINING TO ZONING AMENDMENTS, REGARDING A SIX (6) MONTH MORATORIUM ON THE ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATION OF GUN SHOPS AND GUN SALES WITHIN THE CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS. The City of Columbia Heights does ordain: WHEREAS, the City of Columbia Heights has received an inquiry to establish a gun shop business in Columbia Heights; and WHEREAS, the Zoning Ordinance does not list gun shops and sales as a permitted or conditional use in any zoning district; and WHEREAS, there are a number of concerns which affects the public health, safety and welfare including its proximity to a residential area, liquor stores, day care facilities, schools and churches; high probability of burglaries and thef'cs; need for background checks and review of gun permit applications; and consideration of hours of operation, lighting and security systems with these types of business; and WHEREAS, the City Council and staff need time to research and develop an Ordinance to impose reasonable conditions for this type of use and determine the appropriate zoning designation(s) for same NOW, THEREFORE, it shall be unlawful, and a moratorium shall be in place and full effect, for any person or company wishing to establish a gun shop(s) or sell guns during this six (6) month period of time which shall expire at midnight on November 12, t 997; and furthermore, the City Council directs staff.to research and develop a proposed ordinance amendment(s) to control gun sales and uses and to present same for City Council consideration prior to the expiration date of the aforementioned moratorium. This Emergency Ordinance shall be in full force and effect immediately upon its passage. Offered by: Pete r son Seconded by: Jones Roll Call: A11 ayes Date of Passage: May 12, 1997 Mayor Joseph Stu{devant Jo-Anne Student, Council Secretary CITY OF COLUTiBIA HEIGHTS TO: FROM: DATE: RE: Honorable Mayor Joseph Sturdevant City Councilmembers Walt Fehst, City Manager Tom Johnson, Chief of Police Tina Goodroad, Zoning/Grant Coordinator / Kathryn Pepin, Permit/Licensing Clerk Kenneth R. Anderson, Community Development Director May 1, 1997 ORDINANCE PERTAINING TO GUN SHOPS FOR MAY 5TH COUNCIL WORK SESSION. Backqround The Community Development Department staff has received a verbal inquiry from an individual interested in establishing a business selling guns at 48th and University Avenue N.E. The Zoning Ordinance is presently silent on this specific type of use. The Licensing Committee met on April 30th and discussed this issue. Previously, the Licensing Committee noted in its review of the Code that local licensing of gun shops/sales should not be required because the federal government does require the issuance of a federal license to lawfully sell firearms. Since this local licensing requirement was eliminated, the licensing staff has realized that gun shops are not an allowed use in any district, either as a permitted or conditional use. Discuss ion There are a number of concerns related to the public health, safety and welfare associated with these type of businesses. Most of these concerns are listed in a memo from the Chief of Police dated April 28, 1997. In addition to these, the Council should be aware that the City cannot totally prohibit or exclude this type of use city-wide via zoning controls. However, the City may impose reasonable conditions by authority of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). This may include the type of district in which this would be allowed by CUP (Retail Business, Limited Business, General Business, and/or Central Business District); location or distance from other uses such as parks, residential areas, churches, schools, day care facilities, etc.; hours of operation; lighting; etc. The Licensing Committee suggested the General Business District may be the most appropriate District subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The attached supporting documentation includes a copy of the City of Richfield's ordinance pertaining to gun shops, pawn shops, and tatoo parlors. Page 1 of 2 ~ecommendat~o~ In order to provide ample opportunity for City staff to research this issue and the City Council to consider and adopt local controls for the sale of firearms via zoning, the Licensing Committee recommended that the City Council enact an emergency ordinance, effective immediately upon adoption, that would impose a moratorium on such a use within the City limits for a period not less than six (6) months. During this time, staff will.research existing ordinances and controls in other cities for consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission and/or City Council. Requested Action Staff proposes the City Council adopt an emergency ordinance imposing a six (6) month moratorium on the establishment and operation of gun shops and gun sales within Columbia Heights and further to direct staff to research and develop a proposed ordinance amendment(s) to control firearm sales and uses and present same to the City Council. With Council authorization, this item will be placed on the May !2, !997 regular meeting agenda.

Johnson, Chief of Police ~ Request for Gun Shop on 48u~ and University April 28, 1997 On April 14, 1997, you brought to my attention an inquiry that you have received requesting a license to open a gain shop on the comer of48~' and University. There are several reasons I can think of that would make my department not want this type of business in our community. Some of these reasons are as follows: Its proximity to a residential area. To the east of this proposed shop is a heavy residential area. Its proximity to one of our liquor stores on 52nd and University. Alcohol and guns do not m/x, and we would like to keep the temptation from presenting itself. 3. The high probability of burglaries and thefts at tkis type of establishment. 4. There are no s/mi/ar businesses such as th.is in the city. o The need for this type of business does not ex/st. There are plenty of gun shops within easy commuting distance of our city to satisfy any need for tiffs type of business. The added work created by this type of business for the Police Department in the form of background checks and gun permit applications. 7. The greater risks to the neighborhood and the department when this type of business' even exists in the community. · Th/s community has exSstdd all these years without a gunshop and it .seems we should be able to go without many more. If there is any way this request can be den/ed, I would urge the Council t° do · SO. TMJ:mld 97-162 CITY OF COLUB/I~IA ltEIGHTS ro~ From: Police Chief Tom Johnson Kenneth Anderson, COmmunity Development Director Date: April 18, 199'7 Subj: Zoning district allowing gun shops Community Development staffhas received a request to operate a gun shop selling new and second hand guns in Columbia Heights. Currently the Zoning Ordinance does not include gun shops as a permitted use or conditional use in any zoning district. The City license pertaining to this use is being reviewed by the License Review Committee. Staff is also researching what restrictions other cites have placed on gun shops and what zoning districts they are allowed in. The City's of Plymouth, C~stal, Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park and Blaine do not list gun shops as a permitted use or co~tionat use, however ifa request were made it would be classified as retail and allowed in a district similar to our Retail Business District. Each of the City's do require some type of a City license in conjunction with the Federal License. The City of Richfield has recently updated their Ordinance pertaining to gun shops, pawn shops and tatoo parlors. The complete ordinance from Richfield is attached for your review. Requirements for gun shops include; such uses shall be located not less than 300 feet from any school, church, daycare center, public library or government building; such uses shall be located not less than 1,000 feet from other gun or ammunition sales/repair businesses; and such uses shall be located not less than 100 feet from residentially zoned property. Staffhas also inquired with the City of Fridley regarding the changes they are making to their second hand business ordinance including the sale of second hand guns. As of this memo no information from Fridley is available. I would appreciate input from you on this issue and the concern you have with this type of proposed use. This issue is scheduled for the May 5, 1997 council work session when the City Councilmembers will be made aware of this request and be asked how they wish to handle it and possibly what district they wish to permit this use. If'you have any question regarding this reques, t please call me at ext. 855. Thank you for your assistance. .. Richfield CR'y Code (Z~n~ng) 526.27, Suixt. 19 Sub& 19.

All ayes. OLD BUSINESS A. Channel Check Everything checked out fine during the channel check. B. Correspondence Log and Complaint Follow Up. There were no complaints received since the last meeting. Co Meeting to discuss the Report on Best Available Technology to Refurbish the Cable Distribution System. Jean sent a letter to Scott Melcher at Meredith Cable requesting a meeting be set up to discuss the preliminary report that was aubmitted to us regarding the best available technology to refurbish the cable distribution system. Scott was reluctant to participate in this meeting without Kathi Donnelly- Cohen's authorization. Since that time it has been decided that Linda will meet with Kevin Griffin and Kathi first. Kathi explained that Meredith is in the process of preparing a formal proposal for the North Suburban Cable Commission and the technology trends can be discussed kkrther after that report is complete as the same technology will be used on both systems in all likelihood. D. Status of Appeal with FCC re: Transfer of Ownership Tom has submitted a letter to the FCC on behalf of the North Suburban Cable Communication Commission regarding the Continental/US West sale, which relate to our franchise as well. The letter requests that the FCC address the issue of the transfer of ownership in a timely manner (whether US West lawfully owns the system) or at least inform us of the possible time table for the issuance of a decision by the FCC. E. Status of Rights of Way Legislation Two bills have been introduced and are not out of conference committees yet. TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION PAGE 2 APRIL 22, 1997 Fo Other Old Business There was no other old business. NEW BUSINESS Ao Bo Co Resignation of Steve Mihalchick A copy of the letter sent to the City from Steve Mihalchick was enclosed in the agenda packet. In the letter he explained his reasons for stepping down from the Telecommunications Commission. It was noted that his presence and expertise will be missed. Meredith Request to Continue Use of Religious Access Channel Enclosed in the agenda packet was a letter from Meredith requesting permission to continue using the Religious Access Channel. This request must be done on an annual basis. Motion by Ken, seconded by Reuben to continue loaning the Religious Access Channel to Meredith for another year. All ayes. Receipt and Review of the Annual Report Commissioners felt the report was nicely prepared. It was again noted to look at the subscriber survey in the fall, so the lack of meetings does not prohibit the review of the survey. The desire to add more detail to question #3 was also discussed. This question asks residents to identify what service they subscribe to, and many are not clear as the names of the service tiers have changed so often over the years. Kathi explained the financial information is not included in this report. Due to the transfer of ownership, there also was a change made to their fiscal year. Meredith is trying to determine whether to report the financial information on a 12 month basis or a 6 month basis. It was decided to table the formal acceptance of the Annual Report until the financial report is submitted and the report is then complete. D. Other New Business There was no other new business. TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION PAGE 3 APRIL 22, 1997 REPORTS Ao Report of Commissioners The Commissioners had nothing to report. Dennis stated that as soon as we get another person appointed to the commission, the liaison positions for the Access Channels should be re-assigned. Bo Report of Meredith Cable Kathi reviewed the reports that were enclosed in the agenda packets. She stated the construction season will begin next week, and the company will be burying any cable of installations that were done over the winter months. Kathi informed the commissioners that cable companies lost the court battle over the "must carry" issue, so Meredith has to keep broadcasting such channels as the shoppi.ng channel and channel 41. She also addressed the ruling that was made regarding Adult Programming (Spice). It was ruled that any adult programming has to be completely scrambled, or it cannot be shown until after 10 pm. So Meredith will only be carrying the Adult Pay per View after 10 pm. Meredith has also sent a flyer to homes re-educating people on how to use the parental control on the converter box within their homes. Report of the Cable Attorney There was nothing to report as the Cable Attorney had not been requested to attend the meeting. Report of the Assistant to the City Manager Linda informed the commission members that she has been working on the 1998 budget. If the commission members have anything they would like to see included in the budget, they must notify her before April 28th. Linda also reported that the City Council did not concur with the recommendation previously made by 'the Commission regarding the microphones for the Council Chambers. The council has approved the purchase of 11 microphones and a mixer from Alpha Video for a cost just under $5,000. These new microphones will be hard wired versus the individual wireless lapel microphones that have recently been used. The subject of a digital light system in the Council Chambers, for permission to address the floor was discussed. Ken and Reuben suggested that a plan (specifications) with as much detail as possible be prepared which would be reviewed by them. Then we could possibly contact NEI and see if a student in the digital electronics class might be interested in working on a project like this as a student project. Jean Kuehn is to explore this idea and will work with Ken and Reuben. Motion by Ruth, seconded by Ken, to adjourn the meeting at 8:20 pm. All ayes.

APPROVAL OF MARCH 31, 1997 MINUTES / Motion by Goodman, second by Smrdevant, to approve the minutes of the March 31, 1997 meeting. Roll Call: All ayes. III. OLD BUSINESS A. SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR AUTOWORLD The revised site plan which addressed Mn/DOT's concerns for the proposed gas station, convenience store and restaurant at the corner of 37th and Central Avenue was presented. The preferred site plan has three entrances on Central Avenue. The architect is still working with Mn/DOT concerning the entrances on Central Avenue. If three entrances are not allowed, the architect will remove the entrance at the north end of the site. Duane Engle of Lan Construction was present to answer questions. Commissioner Jolly expressed concern with confusion over motorists' intent when signaling to enter the station. Jolly was in favor of the plan provided it wouldn't conflict with Mn/DOT's direction. Motion by Duda, second by Goodman, to approve the preferred site plans (Option 1), with three entrances on Central Avenue, dated April 28, 1997, as proposed. If Mn/DOT requires one entrance be eliminated, move to approve the alternate site plan (Option 2). Roll Call: Alt ayes: Motion carried. Official Proceedings Columbia Heights Traffic Commission May 5, 1997 Page 2 IV. go Bo PUBLIC HEARING TO DESIGNATE "NO PARKING" ON THE NORTH SIDE OF 40TH AVENUE FROM VAN BUREN STREET TO CENTRAL AVENUE. At the March 31st meeting, staff reported that the Anoka County Highway Department was in favor of restricting parking on the north side of 40th Avenue in conjunction with the proposed signal work at 40th and Central Avenues. The MTCO bus would still be able to stop on 40th and continue to park on Van Buren if the parking is restricted. The County requires a resolution from the City Council requesting the area be designated as "No Parking". Motion by Goodman, second by Sturdevant, to recommend the City Council forward a resolution to Anoka County designating "No Parking" on the north side of 40th Avenue from Van Buren to Central Avenue. Roll Call: All ayes. OTHER OLD BUSINESS None NEW BUSINESS Ao REQUEST FOR SPEED BUMPS IN THE ALLEY BETWEEN MAIN AND 2ND STREETS FROM 37TH TO 38TH AVENUES. Mr. and Mrs. Adam Geisness of 3704 2nd St. and Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Bixler of 3708 2nd St. have requested speed bumps in the alley. Ten MPH SPeed limit signs have been installed at the end of the alley; however, traffic continues to drive too fast. A petition in support of speed bumps was presented. Staff presented information on portable speed bumps used in the alleys in the City of Minneapolis. A petition must be signed by at least 75% of the adjacent property owners in favor of the speed bumps. The property owners must pay for~ Official Proceedings Columbia Heights Traffic Commission May 5, 1997 Page 3 the installation of the bumps, for any replacement costs and are responsible for installing them in the spring and removing them for the winter months. A minimum of two speed bumps are Used for each alley block. The cost per speed bump location is $520 for installation of 3 speed bumps with signage at each end. If the block fails to remove the speed bumps, the City will remove them and bill the block representative. All speed bumps must be removed by November 15th. They may be re-installed after April 15th. A minimum installation period of 90 days is required. Three Minneapolis alleys near Columbia Heights have had speed bumps i!astalled this year. They are located at 36th Ave. (alley parallel with 37th Ave.) between Central and Tyler, Tyler and Polk and Lincoln and Buchanan. Mr. Bixler indicated that there are lots of small children in the area with lots of traffic using the alley as a shortcut, not necessarily residents living in the area. He would be willing to install and remove the speed bumps. The question of who would be liable for any speed bump accidents was a major concern to Commission members. Mark Winson, Public Works Director/City Engineer, stated that the issue of liability needs to be taken into consideration but the speed bumps aren't very thick and are made of a plastic resin anchored to the alley way with bolts and didn't feel they would cause a lot of damage. Commissioner Jolly wondered if they work. Mr. Geisness indicated that in the last three years, garages had been broken into 9 times as a result of traffic using this alley. Commissioner Jolly stated he felt an alley speed bump policy should be developed and liability issue should be investigated. Chairperson Carlson was not in favor of speed bumps based on past history and requested more information be provided. He felt that if we put speed bumps in this alley, they wilt be wanted in every alley. Mn/DOT representatives, present at the meeting, suggested some alternatives such as widening the alley, making the alley a dead-end alley, or using some sort of jersey barriers to restrict traffic. Official Proceedings Columbia Heights Traffic Commission May 5, 1997 Page 4 Bo Co Mr. Harold Hoium of 4321 5th St. suggested that gates be installed. Mr. Bixler suggested he would like to talk to neighbors again after hearing options available at this meeting. Gary Larson of 4450 Arthur Place suggested that the garbage trucks, police and fire vehicles may have a problem with speed bumps or blocking the alley with barriers. Police Chief Johnson indicated he would make the officers aware of the problems and try to police the area more often. Motion by Jolly, second by Smrdevant, to call a Public Hearing for June 2, 1997, and to direct staff to develop g speed bump policy for alleys, investigate the liability in terms of the success/failure of any installations and present the policy for review by the Traffic Commission at the June meeting. Roll Call: All ayes. REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION FOR THE INTERSECTION AT 44TH AVENUE AND ARTHUR STREET Ms. Christine Larson of 4450 Arthur Place has requested additional consideration be given to motorists either ignoring the stop signs or not coming to a complete stop at the intersection of 44th Ave. and Arthur Place. Flags were installed on the stop signs for a period last fall; however, this has not stopped the problem of motorists ignoring the signs. Police Chief Johnson stated he will ask the officers to check the intersection more often. The suggestion was made to install flashing lights at the stop sign. As it is a County road, the County would need to be contacted to see if they would have any objection to these lights. Gary Larson of 4450 Arthur Place suggested speed grooves or "rumble strips" be placed on the street. Motion by Jolly, second by Duda, to enforce violations at this intersection and to approach Anoka County with the idea of flashers or rumble strips. Roll Call: All ayes. REQUEST TO INSTALL STOP SIGNS ON 3RD STREET BETWEEN 37TH AVENUE AND 40TH AVENUE. Mr. and Mrs. Brad Miller of 3900 3rd St. have requested stop signs be installed on 3rd Street bet~veen 37th Avenue and 40th Avenue. The concern is the speed of traffic on 3rd Street. Police Chief Johnson will place the speed monitor on 3rd St. to let motorists know their speed. Official Proceedings Columbia Heights Traffic Commission May 5, 1997 Page 5 VI. Motion by Jolly, second by Sturdevant, to direct staff to study the intersections on 3rd Street between 37th Avenue and 40th Avenue to determine if stop signs are warranted. Roll Call: All ayes. Motion carried. OTHER NEW BUSINESS None. VII. REPORTS A. CITY ENGINEER /, Anthony Winiecki, Division signal Operations Engineer; Beverly Farraher, Division Traffic Engineer; and Susan Mulvihilt, Division Traffic Engineer from Mn/DOT were present to discuss concerns raised by the Commission for the T.H. 47 and T.H. 65 corridors. Commissioner Goodman requested Mn/DOT explain the timing of the signals on 40th Ave. and Central. The issue of how many seconds the "walk" and flashing "don't walk" signs was explained. The walk sign is on for 7 seconds and the flashing don't walk is on 20 seconds and is for actual walking time. No change is being proposed. Mn/DOT representatives suggested holding a demonstration for residents in the area to explain the signal timing. In response to the question of a way to increase the traffic gap for cross traffic on 42nd Avenue at T.H. 65, it was explained that it is difficult to increase a traffic gap as it would have to restrict the movement of traffic on 41 st and 44th Avenues where the signals are. Southbound traffic would back up significantly. Traffic generated by Northwestern Electronics Institute has the option of using the 41 st Avenue signalized intersection. Residents between 42nd Avenue and 43rd Avenue can use the 44th Avenue signalized intersection. Protected/permissive phasing is better for 49th Avenue at T.H. 65. Mn~OT representatives explained that split-phasing is an inefficient way of operating a signal and is considered as a last alternative to other operations. It introduces another green phase into the signal timing cycle and another yellow and all red phase. This takes green time away from the rest of the signal phases and has negative impacts when the signal is operating in coordination with other signals. Mn/DOT tries to avoid this type of operation when they can by having appropriate lane alignments, lane assignments and other parameters. Official Proceedings Columbia Heights Traffic Commission May 5, 1997 Page 6 Staff explained that the medians on 49th Avenue will be reconstructed and will be looking at realignment of the fence posts and enhancing the aesthetics. Plans are being developed and staff will go out for bids in July of 1997 with award in August. The City Manager has received several calls from residents who experience difficulty at the intersection of 40th and University when heading south on the frontage road. The signal indicator on the pole in the southeast corner for vehicles making left tums from southbound was aimed more toward the frontage road allowing motorists to determine the statue of the lights at this intersection. Currently the signal head is re-aimed toward the left turn lane traffic. It has been suggested that the signal head be aimed differently or the hood removed so that it can be viewed from the frontage road. Staff feels that the head is properly aimed as it is now and changing it would provide a false sense of security. In response to a question about allowing protected/permissive phasing on left turn signals on TH47, Mn/DOT representatives explained that T.H. 47 is posted at 45 mph and traffic speeds often exceed this limit. They do not use permissive operation for left turn movements at signalized intersections when the 85th percentile speed exceeds 45 mph. The left turn lanes do not line up head-on due to the wide medians and do not promote adequate angles of sight to make permissive movements across two thru lanes and one right mm lane of opposing traffic. The left turn arrow should allow traffic movement during off-peak hours when there is no oncoming or cross traffic. Mn/DOT stated that the criteria they use for determining driveway openings along Central is done on a case by case basis in determing what is reasonable access to properties that front along Central. Future plans for jurisdiction and traffic control along T.H. 65 and T.H. 47 corridors are both being considered as candidates for roadway jurisdictional release to the County but no agreement or date has been established. They are identified because of their minor arterial status. Both are preservation investment corridors which means Mn/DOT will only preserve pavement and structures already existing. Official Proceedings Columbia Heights Traffic Commission May 5, 1997 Page 7 VIII. Minor signal work will be done on both TH 65 and TH 47 that entails EVP, LED and other changes that will increase safety and efficiency of the signal intersections and traffic flow. There are no new developments in signage and there are no plans for signage changes. Staff thanked Mn/DOT representatives for coming to the meeting and for preparing responses to the questions raised by the Traffic Commission members. Mark Winson, Public Works Director, City Engineer, asked that the minutes reflect that the request by a resident to have the pines removed from 42nd & Tyler has been addressed and the trees are not in violation of the Visibility Ordinance 9.104 (7) and does not feel the trees should be removed.
