Transfer of Title for Property: The City Attorney gave his findings regarding the purchase of property ~y Mr. & Mrs. Fierst. The title transfer has not been completed because the Anoka County Recorder returned it to the City because of some deficiencies in the paperwork. He will follow up on this matter to its conclusion. Ethics Bill: Councilmember Ruettimann requested the City Attorney to gather some information on the new Ethics Bill. He has been advised that the municipal ethics bill falls under Section 211 coordinated by county attorneys rather than bythe State Ethics Board. County attorneys are addressing a uniform interpretation. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 22, 1994 PAGE 15 G~rba~e Complaints: Councilmember Nawrocki recalled the contract with a previous garbage hauler included language which required property owner garbage complaints to be taken by City staff. The hauler also was to come to City Hall daily to take care of them. He noted that if refuse was not picked up by the hauler, the driver was to leave a note for the property owner advising why this material was left. Councilmember Nawrocki felt since the City handles the billing, City staff should have knowledge of the performance of the hauling company. The Administrative Assistant responded that a change has taken effect whereby City staff is again taking the complaint calls. Explanation tags are ~ left by the drivers. being Other issues will be addressed again. b. ~eDort of the City Attorney The city Attorney had nothing more to report. ~DJOURNMENT Motion by Ruettimann, second by Peterson to adjourn the Council Meeting at 10:01 p.m. Roll call: All ayes Mayor Joseph Sturdevant Jo-Anne Student, Council Secretary CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting off, 9/12/94 ]ENDA SECTION: PUBLIC HEARINGS ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER ). 6 PUBLIC WORKS ~/~ ~~~' BM: PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT HEARING - CURB & BY: M, Winson ).

Under the current law, it is necessary for the City to certify a proposed levy, and a public budget hearing date to the County Auditor by September 15~h. The proposed levy is the maximum amount the City can levy for 1995. On or before December 28, 1994, the City must certify a final levy to the County Auditor. The final levy can be less than the proposed levy but it cannot be more than the proposed levy. As per the request of City. Councilmembers, attached are tables outlining the cost implications of levy increases above the City Manager's recommendation, and the cost of various levels of personnel/salary awards. The major change in the 1993 taw is that the City Council must adopt the levy and budget at a meeting other than the budget hearing or continuation meeting. The final budget and final levies can be adopted at a regular Council meeting. It cannot be adopted at the budget hearing or the continuation meetings. At the August 29th work session, the City Manager submitted a recommended schedule to hold the property tax levy increase to $25,000. This proposal was based on using fund balances of $50,000. These changes could result in a 1.28 percent increase in local property taxes. For 1995 the resolution has been modified to include the City Council's approval of the HRA levy and budget. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the resolution, there being ample copies available for the public.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1994 PAGE 1 These minutes were not available for ~nc]uslon with the Friday agenda packet. For int~ormat|on only. The Planning and Zoning Commission meeting of September 6, 1994 was called to order at '/:05 p.m. Members present were Paulson, Fowler, Peterson and Szurek. Commissioner Larson was not in attendance. Also present were Evelyn Nygaard (Building/Zoning Administrator) and Don Schneider (Director of HRA/City Planner). Motion by Peterson, seconded by Paulson, to approve the minutes from the meeting of August 2, 1994 as presented in writing. Roll Call: All Ayes. NEW BUSINESS: Petitions, letters and requests. A. Public Hearing Special Purpose Fence Case #9409-38 Tom and Karen Crotty 3964 Van Buren Street Columbia Heights, Mn. Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of Mr. and Mrs. Crotty for permission to install a 5'4" high cedar alternating board special purpose privacy fence along and inside the south property line of 3964 Van Buren Street from the front corner of the house to the rear of the detached garage and along and inside the north property line from the rear corner of the house to the front of the detached garage. She explained that the adjoining property on the south has a house which is located less than three feet from the property line. The Crotty's are proposing to install their fence 3'6" in from the property line so as not to crowd the side lot area of 3962 Van Buren Street. The fence would be inset the 3'6' from the property line for 34 feet and then would jog out 2'6' so that the rest of the fence line would be erected one foot in from the property line. The fence on the north side would be installed one foot inside the property line. Mr. Crotty explained that the fence is proposed along the south side of the house to encompass the side door to allow them to leave their dog out into the rear yard and for the protection of future children. He stated that they have no children at this time, but do have the funds for the fence installation. He felt that because of the nearness to Central Avenue and the amount of traffic on Van Buren Street, it would be necessary to have the fence to protect his children and keep them out of the street. Robert Truckenbrod of 3962 Van Buren Street felt that it would be a great injustice if the City ~llowed Mr. Crotty to install the proposed fence. The fence would hinder Mr. Truckenbrod from accessing his gutters and roof for maintenance. Mr. Truckenbrod was very adamant about the fence stating that ~he was there first" and the traffic problems Mr. Crotty addressed were there when he bought the place. He stated that the Crotty's never needed the fence before, what purpose would the fence serve now. Commissioner Paulson indicated that it looked to him like Mr. Truckenbrod would need to put his ladder on Mr. Crotty's property regardless of the fence to get a safe angle with the ladder for access to the roof and gutters. He felt that the Crotty's were being very courteous in installing the fence well inside their property line. He felt that Mr. Truckenbrod should work with his neighbors and maintain a friendly relationship so as not to create a problem for himself. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1994 PAGE 2 Council Representative Peterson also indicated to Mr. Truckenbrod that he should work with his neighbors. He indicated to Mr. Truckenbrod that the Crotty's could install a chain link fence along and inside the property line without Mr. Truckenbrod or the City's approval. Mr. Crotty indicated that he understood Mr. Truckenbrods problem and would be willing to install the fence an additional foot inside the property line adjacent to Mr. Truckenbrods house increasing the distance from the property line to 4'6". Commissioner Szurek also felt a compromise on Mr. Truckenbrods part was important, indicating again that Mr. Crotty could install a chain link fence at the property line without his neighbors approval. Motion by Fowler, seconded by Peterson, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the proposed 5'4" high special purpose privacy fence at 3964 Van Buren Street. **THIS ITEM TO APPEAR ON THE SEPTEMBER 12, 1994 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA. B. Site Plan Amendment Case #9409-30 Steve Jonak RE: 533 N.E. 37th Avenue Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of Mr. Jonak for an amendment to his previously approved site plan for the building at 533 N.E. 37th Avenue. She informed the Commission that Mr. Jonak has installed Class 5 underlayment for the driving area around the storage building and does not want to pave this area as previously required under the former site plan review. She indicated that the Zoning Ordinance Section 9.116(3)(a) requires driveways and parking areas for four or more vehicles to be surfaced with materials that control dust and drainage. She stated that a plan for surfacing and drainage must be approved by the City Engineer. She directed the attention of the Commission to a memo from the Public Works Director, Mark Winson stating that, based on Section 9.116(3), it is his position that any designated or required parkii~g area and driveways are to be surfaced with asphalt or concrete. He felt gravel can cause a dirt problem and can adversely affect drainage in the form of erosion and deposition of materials in a storm drainage system. Ms. Nygaard also stated that Mr. Jonak has also installed heating to the warehouse which was approved as a "cold storage - unheated" warehouse building. A portion of the slab has been left open so that Mr. Jonak can install plumbing at some future date although his site plan was approved with no plumbing to be installed. The required sewer availability charge (SAC) has not been paid to the City and submitted to the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission for this building as it was to be "cold storage". She also stated that the approved site plan has been altered considerably with a curb opening onto 38th Avenue and a driveway around the warehouse. An amended site plan will be required to be submitted. She also informed the Commission that the warehouse is being used without final approval being given of the building construction. Mr. Jonak presented pictures to the Commission of other businesses within the Industrial District that do not have hard surface parking or driveway areas and have had recent remodeling or additions. He felt that all properties should be treated equal. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1994 PAGE 3 After much discussion regarding the changes that have been made to Mr. Jonaks site, Council Representative Peterson indicated that Mr. $onak should obtain approval from the Traffic Commission for the curb cut on 38th Avenue and an amended site plan should be submitted to the Public Works Director for formal approval. After those items have been addressed, the Planning and Zoning Commission would then review Mr. Jonak's request. Motion by Peterson, seconded by Paulson, to table the request for site plan amendment for 533 N.E. 37th Avenue. Roll Call: All Ayes. Public Hearing Special Purpose Fence Case #9409-40 Gregory J. LaPlant 4359 N.E. 3rd Street Columbia Heights, Mn. Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of Mr. LaPlant for permission to install a six foot high special purpose privacy fence along and inside the north side property line from the front of the house to the rear property line and then south a distance of 17 feet along and inside the rear property line of 4359 N.E. 3rd Street. She stated that Mr. LaPlant has requested the fence due to the heavy traffic and accompanying noise. She indicated that there is a ten foot easement on the north side of the property. Mr. LaPlant stated that he was aware of the easement along the north side of the property and that he will be using screws to allow easy removal of the fence if and when necessary. Motion by Peterson, seconded by Fowler, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the six foot high special purpose privacy fence with the stipulation that, should ingress and egress be needed for utility work, the owners would be responsible for removing and replacing the fence and for any costs incurred in the process. Roll Call: All Ayes. *THIS ITEM TO APPEAR ON THE SEPTEMBER 12, 1994 CITY couNCIL AGENDA. Public Hearing Variance Case #9409-41 Tom Olson 3943 Polk Street N.E. Columbia Heights, Mn. 55421 Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of Mr. Olson for a variance to allow the expansion of the non- conforming structure located at 3943 Polk Street. She explained that the existing building is located 3'7' from the side lot line on the northwest corner and 4 feet at the northeast corner. Continuing the existing wall line will take the northeast corner of the house to approximately 4' 1-1/3" from the lot line. She explained that Mr. Olson is proposing to remove the existing back porch and construct an 8'x22' addition. The addition would provide an area to construct a proper stairway to the basement. The kitchen is extremely small and could be expanded into the addition. She indicated that the structure is old and in need of renovation. However, it has a full basement with a foundation directly under the walls. Mr. Olson stated that he has owned the home since 1991 and does plan on living in it after the renovation. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1994 PAGE 4 Motion by Fowler, seconded by Paulson, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the variance request to allow the expansion of the non-conforming dwelling located at 3943 Polk Street. Roll Call: All Ayes. **THIS ITEM TO APPEAR ON THE SEPTEMBER 12, 1994 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA. Public Hearing Lotsplit Case #9409-42 HRA of Columbia Heights 1319 N.E. 44 1/2 Avenue Columbia Heights, Mn. Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of the HRA of Columbia Heights for a lotsplit c,f the property located at 1319 N.E. 44 1/2 Avenue into three parcels measuring approximately 83 feet by 100 feet and fronting on Buchanan Street. She stated each lot would be less than the 8,400 square feet required to build a duplex, so each lot could only be utilized for a single family dwelling. Karen Lennox of 1311 N.E. 44 1/2 Avenue indicated that she was in favor of the lotsplits as proposed with the understanding that caution be expressed to whomever purchased the lots regarding soil compaction or correction methods so as to protect adjacent properties from damage. Janet Vik of 1307 N.E. 44 1/2 Avenue expressed concern that any new homes to be built be done correctly so as not to "fall apart" like the home at 1334 N.E. 44 1/2 Avenue and result in the property being abandoned. Evelyn Nygaard stated that the protection of adjacent properties is addressed by the State Building Code. Don Schneider, Director of the HR.A, stated that all measures possible will be taken to assure new buyers are aware of the requirements necessary for soil correction. Motion by Paulson, seconded by Peterson, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the proposed lotsplit for 1319 N.E. 44 1/2 Avenue legally described as Lots 8 and 9, Doneroving Addition, Anoka County, Mn.; Subject to easement for public road and utilities over south 30 feet and subject to easement ten (10) feet wide to NSP 6/30/64. Roll Call: All Ayes. **THIS ITEM TO APPEAR ON THE SEPTEMBER 12, 1994 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA. Public Hearing Variance Case #9409-43 Margaret Bloomquist 1700 N.E. 49th Avenue Columbia Heights, Mn. Ms. Nygaard presented the request of Margaret Bloomquist for a variance of one foot on the required side yard setback of seven feet to allow the construction of an addition on the west side of the property located at 1700 N.E. 49th Avenue. She stated that Section 9.107(4)(c) of the R-1 Zoning District requires a minimum side yard of seven (7) feet. She informed the Commission that an existing attached garage is currently located at approximately 6'2" from the side lot line. The PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1994 PAGER 5 proposed addition would continue the west wall line and would not extend westward beyond the garage wall line. She stated that the adjoining property on the west side has a structure which stops short of the garage so that the addition would not impact any existing structure. Terrell Whitehill of 1805 Fairway Drive asked if the garage encroached on the setback. Evelyn Nygaard explained that the garage did encroach into the setback area. Motion by Peterson, seconded by Fowler, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the one foot side yard setback variance to allow the construction of an addition on the west side of the structure located at 1700 N.E. 49th Avenue. Roll Call: All Ayes. **THIS ITEM TO APPEAR ON THE SEPTEMBER 12, 1994 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA. Public Hearing Variance Case #9409-44 City of Columbia Heights 4519/21 Taylor Street Columbia Heights, Mn. Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority for the City of Columbia Heights for a variance of two feet on the front yard setback to allow the construction of a 5'4" by an approximate 7' canopy covered entry on the front of the building located at 4519/21 Taylor Street to create an appealing front for a single family dwelling and remove the "duplex look" of the structure. She explained that the houses located approximately 200 feet either side are all at thirty foot setbacks. Section 9.116(16)(b) allows a front setback of the average plus or minus 10% which is three feet in this case. The required front setback in an R-2 Zoning District is 25 feet. Don Schneider informed the Commission that this property, as well as the properties addressed in the next two cases, are some of the properties purchased by the City in the Sheffield Redevelopment Area and are proposed to be renovated into single family dwellings and sold.

Evelyn Nygaard informed the Commission that the City Council had reviewed Ordinance #1285 pertaining to Homo Occupations. They are requesting that the Planning and Zoning Commission take a second look at the Ordinance to clarify some items prior to a second review by the City Council at a September 19, 1994 work session and the September 26, 1994 City Council meeting. She informed the Commission that the following items were those specifically addressed by the City Council. 1. The size of allowed signage. Ordinance 1285 proposes to allow one square foot of signage. Section 9.117A(5)(m) of the Sign Ordinance allows one wall sign per dwelling for permitted home occupations not to exceed one square foot per surface and limited to one surface. 2. Ordinance 1285 specifically prohibits retail sales. The current home occupation definition under Section 9.103(31) of the Zoning Ordinance allows a home occupation when it does not involve the retail sales on the site of products produced off the site. 3. The administration of registration of home occupations has been added by the City Council under proposed Section 9.107(3)(d)(10) which states MAny home occupation shall be subject to a one time registration, with the fee for such registration as determined by the City Council. Each registration will include, as a minimum, the address of the home occupation, the name of the occupant and the occupation or profession involved'. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1994 PAGE ? Commissioner Paulson directed the Commissions attention to Section 9.107(2)(g)(1) of the proposed Ordinance 1285 and inquired as to what the definition of an 'independent contractor~ would be. Evelyn Nygaard responded that she had hoped the Attorney would be in attendance to address that item. She felt the term ~contractor' could be misleading as there are people who run construction businesses out of the home who use many independent contractors. It would be her understanding that the term would refer to a person hired but not regularly employed, perhaps on the site once a month/year (i.e. accountant). Council Representative Peterson wanted to address Item #1 pertaining to the allowance of one square foot of signage allowed to advertise a home occupation. He asked the residents in attendance if that was a concern and high priority to change. Lucille Haug of 4960 N.E. 7th Street stated that a one foot sign was too small. She stated that if you follow the rules, you can have a small sign and if someone doesn't follow the rules, they have a large sign. She asked who is going to make everyone conform to the signage requirements. Council Representative Peterson noted that the proposed Ordinance also stated that the signage not be illuminated and be installed flat on the wall of the home, thus, not allowing signs in yards or on fences, etc. He stated that signage is allowed but not intended to be very noticeable so as not to destroy the residential facade of the neighborhood. He stated that allowing signs to be displayed randomly would defeat the purpose of the Ordinance. He also felt a l'x2' sign would not be too large for a home occupation. Commissioner Paulson stated that from a business persons perspective, he could understand the need for a larger sign. However, he felt the City and the residents also must keep in mind that we are talking about a residential area not a business district. He felt a 2'x3' sign would be too large. He reminded the residents and Commission that house numbers displayed are 3~ to 4~ in height, and are used regularly by everyone, including emergency vehicles, and can be seen quite well from the street. Ken Kronsted of 5240 Washington Street stated he operates as an accountant from his home and these requirements would destroy his livlihood. He objected to the sign allowance and referred to the size of current election signs in yards. He stated that the elected officials vote on sign allowances to have their names in front yards but don't allow the residents to advertise their means of earning the money to feed their families and pay the taxes. He also addressed the section allowing only members of the immediate family who reside on the premises to be engaged in the home occupation. He asked if that meant that when his daughter gets married and moves away that she no longer can help him. He felt that section should be reconsidered. He also wanted to know where the line was drawn for manufacturing in the home describing a neighbor that used to put circuit boards together in his basement. He also felt it unfair for the City to come down on people doing car repair and force them out of business. In reference to the proposed fees, he asked if there was no end to government putting their hands in the peoples pockets. He felt that the City should not restrict free enterprise. Commissioner Fowler stated he had a neighbor that did body work on cars all hours of the day, made a lot of noise, created a lot of dust and sprayed cars which did not smell very good. He indicated that a majority of people would not want to live next to that type of operation. Commissioner Szurek explained that the City is attempting to broaden the Ordinance to allow.home occupations without too much inpact on the neighborhood. The City does not want the image of PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1994 PAGE 8 Central Avenue in the residential areas with the large signs. She stated that the City does not want to keep people from operating a home occupation but there is a definite need for regulation and control over how the businesses are conducted so as not to impact the adjacent property owners. She agreed a number of items in the proposed ordinance need clarification and 'fine-tuning". Commissioner Fowler stated that members of the Commission also conduct home occupations and are also concerned about the content of this proposed Ordinance. Nan Tilkens of 3975 Johnson Street expressed her concerns over the sections of the proposed ordinance pertaining to employees. She felt it is no business of the City if she has an employee in her home. She explained that she hires a person through an agency so she does not have to deal with the paperwork for an employee. If she brings in administrative help to assist with the operation of a business, she would need a Conditional Use Permit. She did not approve of having to pay a fee and to have to explain to the City Council why and what her operation would entail. It is her opinion that the City is creating another layer of "red tape". She asked that the small business owners within the community be included in any rewrites of this Ordinance. Lynelle Peterson of 4105 Madison Street was concerned regarding Section 9.107(3)(d)(9)(E) which prohibits animal hospitals, veterinary services, kennels, animal grooming services or animal breeding operations in a residential district. Ms. Peterson breeds and raises cockatiels for sale in her basement and stated she has no problem with her neighbors as there is no smell coming from her house or any noise outside the house. Elda Bratager of 4626 N.E. 4th Street was concerned about Section 9.107(3)(d)(9)(C) which prohibits retail sales from home occupations. She explained that she does doll restoration and teaches classes on making porcelain dolls and specialty and custom costuming for the dolls. She offers for sale special wigs, body parts, material and other items for creating doll costumes as well as composition bodies for dolls. Tammy Schmitz of 2336 N.E. 45th Avenue also does doll repair and costuming. She inquired as to whether there would be a "grandfather clause" that would apply to existing small businesses written into the proposed Ordinance. Commissioner Paulson felt that, with the help of the City Attorney, something could be drafted into the proposed Ordinance that would protect the rights of homeowners to conduct a home occupation but also to protect the rights of those residents living adjacent to the home occupations. There needs to be a balance between the two and not damage the residential atmosphere. It was the concensus of the Commission that this Ordinance does need further work, clarification and definition. It was suggested that a list be collected of those people in attendance including names, addresses and type of home occupation so that they can be notified of any upcoming meetings where this ordinance would be reviewed. Council Representative Peterson stated that the whole process was started to make the definition we had to work with into a more liberal ordinance and better for people with home occupations, not worse. He stated that the discussion held at this meeting was excellent and very helpful. He indicated it would be very important that the residents attend arid have input at future work sessions and City Council meetings. He felt it very crucial that the City work with the residents to compile a workable ~?LAIq~KIblG AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1994 PAGE 9 ordinance with the best interests of all residents in mind. The Commissioners felt they were not in a position to make any motions or to make any final decisions without the direction of the City Attorney. They do request that the City Attorney define 'independent contractors" and 'immediate family'. Motion by Szurek, seconded by Fowler, to recommend to the City Council that a date for a special work session to review the Home Occupation Ordinance be set to include the Planning and Zoning Commission and the concerned residents. Roll Call: All Ayes. Motion by Fowler, seconded by Peterson, to adjourn the meeting at 9:25 p.m. Roll Calk All Ayes.

The adjoining property on the south has a house which is located less than three feet from the property line. The Orotty's propose installing the fence 4'6" in from the property line so as not to crowd the side lot area of 3962 Van Buren Street. The fence would be inset the 4'6" from the property line for 34 feet and then would jog out 3'6" so that the rest of the fence line would be erected one foot in from the property line. The fence on the north side would be erected one foot inside the property line. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the request for a 5'4" high alternating board special purpose privacy fence located inside the property line as approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Mr. LaPlant is requesting the fence due to the heavy traffic and accompanying noise along 44th Avenue and University Avenue.

The existing building is located 3'7" from the side lot line on the northwest corner and 4' at the northeast corner. Continuing the existing wall line will take the northeast corner to approximately 4' 1-1/3" from the lot line. Mr. Olson is proposing to remove the existing back porch and construct an 8'x22' addition. The addition would provide an area to construct a proper stairway to the basement. The kitchen is extremely small and could be expanded into the addition. The structure is old and in need of renovation. However, it has a full basement with a foundation directly under the walls. Section 9.104(3)(j) of the Zoning Ordinance states "Alterations may be made to a building containing non-conforming residential units when the alteration will improve the livability thereof, provided it will not increase the number of dwelling units nor the outside perimeter of the building. Provided, however, that such alterations increasing the perimeter may be made when the alteration will improve the livability thereof and provided that a variance is obtained pursuant to Section 9.105(3), et seq. In addition to the variance criteria contained in Section 9.105(3)(d), the Board of Appeals and Adjustments may consider the need for fire protection, sanitary facilities, and general safety of the subject building. No such alterations shall be made to buildings which are not structurally sound".

Section 9.t07(4)(c) of the R-1 Zoning District requires a minimum side yard of seven (7) feet. An existing attached garage is currently located at approximately 6'2" from the side lot line. The proposed addition would continue the west wall line and would not extend westward beyond the garage wall line. The adjoining property on the west side has a structure which stops short of the garage, therefore, the addition will not impact any existing structure.

Program is a prevention curriculum developed by law enforcement and educators that is taught by uniformed police officers. The program has been very successful. Its success is based upon the uniting 6f two of society's most influential entities: law enforcement and education. The success of the program requires that a mumm commitment be established between those agencies involved. The signing of this agreement establishes the mutual commitment of police and school personnel to provide our children with the knowledge, attitudes and skills nec~sary to resist the pressures of gangs and their influence. Please read the attached Guidelines prior to signing this Agreement. AGREEM NT We, the undersigned, are committed to work together to provide the G.R.E.A.T. curriculum to the children of our community. We have considered and have agreed upon the issues outlined in the Guidelines for Establishing a Written Agreement Between the School and Police. The details of our agreement have been recorded. Both the law enforcement agency and the school/school district have a copy of the agreement on file. Signature, Law Enforcement Repr~t, entative Law Enforcement Agency Date Schc ure, Educational Agency ;l/School Dist~et Date PLEASE NOTE: THIS FORM MUST BE COMPLETED AND SUBMITTED WITIt THE COMPLETED REGISTRATION REQUEST BEFORE AN OFFICER WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR TRAINING. -2- GUIDELINES FOR ESTABLIStHNG A FORMAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE POLICE AND SCHOOL AGENCIES TO IMPLEMENT G.R.~.A.T. The success of G.R.E.A.T. largely depends on the commiunent of the local school/school district and local law enforcement agency to work together to combat the gang problem through prevention. It is important that this commitment be formally established in writing. The following areas should be carefully considered when drafting a formal agreement. Each community is unique in its needs and resources. This formal agreement needs to reflect that uniqueness. With that in mind, the following items need to be carefully considered. Is the school willing to: Ensure that the G.R.E.A.T. Officer will be allowed the allotted time for formal lessons? Consider the officer a faculty member rather than a "guest speaker"? Will the officer be invited to attend faculty meetings? Provide bulletin board space for display of G.R.E.A.T. related items7 Provide space for the officer to carry out the out-of-classroom responsibilities'/ Coordinate scheduling with the G.R.E.A.T. Officer and his/her supervisor? Provide regular feedback to the law enforcement agency concerning instructor performance? Commit to requiring regular classroom teachers to remain in the classroom during G.R.E.A.T. presentations? Schedule orientation time for the school staff? Schedule parent presentations? Refrain from calling upon G.R.E.A.T. Officer to perform law enforcement duties, except in emergencies7 Regularly meet with the law enforcement agency to ev.aluate program needs7 Permit the G.R.E.A.T. Officer access to the playground and cafeteria to allow for informal interaction with the students? Allow for use of audiovisual equipment for G.R.E.A.T. presentations? Permit the G.R.E.A.T. officer to make reasonable homework assignments? Reinforce the curriculum throughout the week by integrating program concepts into other subject areas (i.e., spelling, essays, etc.) Utilize school prevention funds to continue the G.R.E.A.T. program in the future? CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: 9/1~/94 AGENDA SECTION: NEW BUSINESS ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER NO. 9 PUBLIC WORKS ITEM: AWARD OF DUMP TRUCK BY: M. Winson,ltl~ifa~ BY: NO. ~}. ~'. DATE: 9/6/94 DATE: On June 27, 1994, the Council authorized staff to seek bids to replace Unit 4/6 (1976 Ford F750 7-ton dump). Bids were opened on August 15, 1994. Only two bids were received, both from Ford dealerships. In contacting several of the non-bidding vendors, there was some confusion regarding the specifications. Based on the low number of bids and the higher than anticipated bid mounts, staff requested that the bids be rejected. At the August 22, 1994 meeting, the City Council did reject all bids and in a separate action authorized staff to re-bid this equipment. The equipment bid materials were sent to nine vendors with an option for a single reduction rear end. The original specifications were for a double reduction rear end. The specified equipment is a new tandem axle 10-ton dump truck with standard, underbelly and wing plows. Five bids were received for the bid opening at 11:00 A.M. on September 7, 1994. The low responsible bid of $98,210.04 was submitted by Twin Cities Mack Sales of Roseville, Minnesota. A bid tabulation is attached. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to award the bid for a new tandem axle dump track to Twin Cities Mack Sales of Roseville, Minnesota, the lowest, qualified, responsible bidder in the amount of $98,210.04 to be paid from the Capital Equipment Fund; and, furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same.

HENTGES, CITY MANAGER DON SCHNEIDER, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR.~ SHEFFIELD NEIGHBORHOOD REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT(DUPLEX CONVERSION TO SINGLE FAMILY PROGRAM STATUS) The Sheffield Neighborhood Redevelopment Project plan includes renovation of 11 to 13 duplex units to single family units in the Sheffield Neighborhood. Along with the other property acquisitions in the Sheffield Neighborhood, 3 duplexes have been acquired at 45t9-21 Taylor, 4535-37 Taylor, and 4531-33 Fillmore which have been found suitable for renovation into single family homes. Funding for up to $120,000 of the renovation costs has been approved and is now available through the federally funded Anoka County HOME Program. Upon completion of the renovations, these converted homes will be sold to three qualified first time homebuyer families who are in the process of being selected at this time. Families were invited to apply and were selected on a lottery basis at a drawing by Mayor Sturdevant on July 15. City residents are being given preference. We had 18 resident and 4 non-resident applicants. Of the 18 resident selectees, there have been 6 of 7 who have been offered the renovated houses have been found to not qualify for financing or have decided that they do not wish to own the houses. One family is qualified and wishes to purchase one of the homes. We are in the process of offering the other two houses to the next families on the selectee list. Upon approval of securing bids for the renovation of the duplexes, we will secure an appraisal of the property, considering the renovations to be completed. Then we will have purchase agreements completed with either the appraised value or $84,900(lower of two) as the purchase price. The proceeds from the sale of the converted properties will be placed in a revolving fund which will be used to renovate additional duplexes for sale to other qualified first time homebuyers. As per City Council approval, the City contracted with Dovolis Johnson & Ruggieri, Inc architectural firm to prepare a major portion of the plans and specifications for the renovation of the duplexes. After numerous changes as a result of staff and other input, the plans and specifications have been completed. , To enable work to be completed th~s fall and early winter, it is desirable to proceed now with securing bids and getting the work underway. Please call me at 855 if you need anything further.

COUNCIL ACTION: CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS TO: FROM: DATE: RE: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL PATRICK HENTGES, CITY MANAGER SEPTEMBER 8, 1994 CITY MANAGER'S REPORT REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 12, 1994 1) OPERATIONAL REPORTS Enclosed are the operational reports from various Department Heads indicating significant items undertaken or accomplished for the month of August. 2) SOLID WASTE REPORT FOR JULY, 1994 Attached please find the solid waste report for July, 1994. 3) FLUORESCENT BULB RECYCLING COLLECTION Enclosed please find a memorandum from Jean Kuehn, Special Projects Coordinator, regarding the collection of fluorescent light bulbs by Northern States Power. Be advised that Saturday, October 22, 1994, date will be advertised in the fall edition of the City Newsletter. NSP has agreed to advertise the date in the Focus, NorthEaster, and Spring Lake Park Life. 4) HEALTH SPAN FOLLOW UP INFORMATION As per the August 15th, 1994, Work Session, Health Span Transportation Services was requested to supply follow up information concerning transportation and ambulance charges. City staff is also in the process of preparing (for a September 26, 1994, meeting) an agreement between Health Span and the Fire Department regarding cooperative services. 5) POLICE OFFICER APPOINTMENTS Be advised that Kurt Klosterman and Paul Bonesteel have been selected and appointed to the Police Department. The two officers fill the Police Officer positions authorized under the federal grant. Both individuals have been sworn in and are currently scheduled for field training. 6) WATER MAIN CLEANING/LINING ALTERNATIVES Councilmember Jolly and Public Works Director Mark Winson attended a demonstration in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on water main cleaning and lining operations. Attached please find a report from Mr. Winson. 7) PROVISIONAL TAXI CAB DRIVERS LICENSES Be advised that Randy Ziemann and Chester Radajewski were granted provisional driver's licenses that expired July 10th and August 14th respectively. Both individuals successfully completed provisional license requirements, but have yet renewed their license for the remainder of '94. 8) COMMERS PROPERTY, 81 38TH AVENUE Attached please find information concerning the sale and deed restrictions for the property sold to Mr. Commers. Mr. Commers has contacted the county regarding a reduction in the value of his property. He currently feels that the restrictions limit the values of his property. At this point, the County Assessor does have some concern that the strict warehouse interpretation could affect the value of the property. I request the City Council's input as to continued enforcement of the current restrictions or some possible alterations of the original agreement. 9) HOME OCCUPATION ORDINANCE The Planning Commission at their September 6th meeting conducted a review of the Home Occupation Ordinance. It is my understanding the meeting was heavily attended by home occupation business owners. The major objections seemed to be the strict retail sale and manufacturing prohibition. The Planning Commission is recommending that a special work session be established by the City Council, and that the Commission can be invited to participate in the session. The City Council has tabled the ordinance to a date certain of September 26th. The next regularly scheduled work session will be on September 19th. However, I have scheduled that date for a review of the development proposals on Sheffield. Alternatively, I recommend that October 3rd at 8 P.M. be established as the date when the Home Occupation item could be reviewed. 10) SUMMER BICYCLE PATROL Attached please find a report from Acting Police Chief Olson regarding the summer bicycle patrol. 11) TED JONAK DUTCH ELM REMOVAL COMPLAINT Attached please find a response from Public Works and subsequent action regarding the Ted Jonak elm tree complaint. As you recall, Mr. Jonak filed his concerns with the City Council at the August 22, 1994, City Council meeting. 12) RETAINING WALLS ON PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAYS Attached please find a memorandum from Public Works regarding retaining wall problems on public right-of-way, or alternatively, retaining walls that were constructed as a result of street reconstruc- tions. It is my intention to schedule this item for a work session discussion in the very near future. I'd appreciate your input or any background information you might have on past retaining wall installations. 13) HONEYWELL SIX MONTH ENERGY AUDIT REPORT Attached please find a six month report outlining the electrical and natural gas consumption savings pursuant to the Honeywell program. From the six months of December through May, the year-to-date savings are $10,909. A new report will be compiled for the next six months, essentially providing a full year evaluation of the energy savings pursuant to the program. 14) MULTI FAMILY ASSOCIATION SURVEY Attached please find a survey conducted by the Minnesota Multi Housing Association regarding city fees and charges on multi-family dwellings. I am attempting to get more information on the survey, but it is interesting to note that Columbia Heights neither appears in the extremely low end or high end of the categories surveyed. cb 94/103 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: COLUMBIA HEIGHTS POLICE DEPARTMENT Mayor~and City Council Members Le~r~ M. Olson, Acting Police Chief Operational Report, August, 1994 September 7, 1994 MANAGER CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS I. Events/Accomplishments Department members interacted with 35 community parties, with the total participa- tion of 709 residents. The evening events were a huge success. The Mayor and I attended several parties also, finding the food on 4th Street one of the best. Sergeant Bob Jendro and Officer Mike McGee assisted the Civil Service Commission with the oral examination for police officers the evening of August 4. Some excellent candidates were interviewed in the process. Follow-up interviews were conducted by Mayor Sturdevant and me once the certified list was provided by the Commission. Co Sergeant Kapala, Senior Technician Ralph Duray and I attended a problem solving staff meeting August 9 at Muryzn Hall. The time was spent in brainstorming ideas and solutions to the future needs of the community and city government. I was invited to attend the Rottlund Homes Association annual picnic/meeting the evening of August 11. The gathering was well attended by members and the food was great. I offered the group some insight as to the focus of future community policing. A question and answer period followed. This Sullivan Shores group is very supportive of the City and policing plans. 1I. Projects/Goals The monthly landlord informational/training meetings started up again on August 24 after some summer time off. This meeting was well attended by Mayor Sturdevant, City Manager Pat Hentges, Sergeant Jim Kapala, Officer Terry Nightingale, and me. Attendance from the landlords was also excellent. This forum has been most valuable in the exchange of information and techniques in dealing with rental properties. An exchange of questions and answers in addition to a description of the Sheffield progress by Pat Hentges made this meeting a positive. Sergeant Jim Kapala and Officer John Rogers continue to work on the State of Minnesota grant that hopefully will afford the department the civilian position needed to coordinate the federal grant parameters. Operational Report, August, 1994 Page 2 September 7, 1994 The top officers chosen to become police officers were directed to the final examina- tions prior to the offer of employment. The final examinations include the physical and psychological. With favorable results, the first new officer will be hired September 1 and the second on September 8. III. Issues/Problems Ao Co Both 1994 marked Fords were unofficially recalled this month. Superior Ford was notified that there were loose bolts dealing with the back brakes. The cars were inspected by Ford and their mechanics claimed the cars were okay. Apparently, they were not. Both cars were picked up, repaired, and returned by Superior Ford. 94-274 LMO:mld We have received preliminary complaints of illegal parking at the rental business on 42nd Street and Central Avenue. The complaints presently are anonymous regarding the rental trucks limiting access to the sidewalk area. Officers have spoken to the owner, who is relocated in Columbia Heights after the fire at his other location on Central Avenue and 28th Street. The owner, Douglas White, states he will make sure the sidewalk is not blocked. Police will continue to monitor this situation for compliance. Crime statistics continue to show stability for the comparison of August 1994 to August t993. September comparisons should be interesting, with children returning to school. See attached information from the department monthly report.

It appears that with the installation of the new computer chips the scanning equipment is tess sensitive to erroneous markings on the ballots. At this time, all election preparations are going well and we are on schedule for the September 13th primary. ISSUES AND PROBLEMS: FINANCE DEPT. STAFFING Jennifer Gentry, who has been on maternity leave since August 23rd, is scheduled to return to work on September 19th. With her return, the Finance Department will once again be fully staffed. Since April, the department has been running at least one staff position short.

Collecting of Fluorescent bulbs was discussed, since State law now bans them from waste stream and NSP does not have an effective collection system established,(per the law). Also, since only 30% of Anoka County is in the NSP service area they need pay for only 30% of fluorescent collection costs. Electrical Coops which serve the other 70% of the County were not included in the State mandate. Currently, those cities holding fall clean-ups have agreed to collect the fluorescent bulbs and since they will be charging a fee anyone may use these collections points. Closest to us, Blaine has a monthly collection(3rd Sat of the month) and have opened it to all county residents. Bulb disposal cost are $.59 to $.75/bulb. Columbia Heights has been approached by NSP to collect bulbs at their Recycling Center. This could be acceptable, IF NSP agrees to contract/pay for collection and disposal from that site, and provide boxes and packing materials, and if Columbia Heights would incur no costs and no liabilities for the bulbs, and if the volunteers staffing the center agreed to this added responsibility. Waste Reduction Week Meeting held Aug. 11 at Fridley City Hall to coordinate city and county wide plans for the week of Oct 3-8. Community awareness of source reduction and of course, in house activities to promote reduction of waste generation. TO: FROM: DATE: RE: CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS MEMO PATRICK HENTGES, CITY MANAGER JEAN KUEHN, SPECIAL PROJECTS COORD. SEPT. 7, 1994 FLUORESCENT BULB RECYCLING COLLECTION As of August 1, 1994 (per the State Legislature) it is unlawful for individuals to dispose of fluorescent light bulbs with their regular trash. Also, per the State Legislature, NSP is suppose to collect these bulbs in their service areas. However, only the southern portion of Anoka County (Spring Lake Park, Fridley and Columbia Heights) is in the NSP service area, with 70% of County residents being served by Anoka Electric Cooperative. Co-ops were not included in the State directive to collect & recycle fluorescent bulbs. While NSP is willing to follow the State directive, they are not willing to collect from areas they do not serve. I have been in contact with Barb Delaney of NSP and we are discussing a collection of fluorescent bulbs using the Columbia Heights Recycling Center, on Saturday, Oct 22, 1994. NSP would provide the necessary containers for the bulbs and NSP would collect and transport the bulbs for recycling on that same day. They want us to provide the staffing and allow NSP users from the other two cities (Fridley and Spring Lake Park) and Columbia Heights to bring fluorescent bulbs to this site. I am pleased that NSP has accepted responsibility for this collection since the rest of Anoka County is having to sponsor their own collections and charge a fee to dispose of fluorescent bulbs. No fee will be charged at the Columbia Heights collection but identification will be required either a Drivers License or an NSP bill. I have kept a list of all residents who have called asking about fluorescent disposal and I will notify each of them of this collection. I plan on being at the Recycling Center to personally supervise this collection on Sat. Oct 22, so that the Kiwanis will not have the entire burden of this collection.

The top three individuals were excellent candidates and follow-up interviews proved to be rewarding. The candidates chosen are Kurt Klosterman and Paul Bonesteel. The Mayor and I are pleased with the outcome of the testing procedure and wish to thank each member of the Civil Service Commission for their time and expertise. I have taken the liberty to notify the thfl'd individual of our findings.

The contractor is Dakota Pipe Lining Systems, Inc. of Sioux Falls. The process includes the cleaning of existing watermains that have been occluded by iron oxide incrustation. The watermain and all intervening valves are excavated at about six hundred feet intervals. The lines are cleaned by pulling various scappers and pigs through the line and then relined using a thin coat mortar. During the operation, adjacent properties are served by temporary lines. This process has been used by the City of Sioux falls for watermain cleaning over the last eight years and has been very successful. Disturbance to traffic and property is minimized and historically the cost has been around $16/foot including temporary water lines. This is about one- half of the cost to replace watermaln. The age and condition of the lines being done in Sioux Falls are very similar to our own lines. Should you or any of the Council have any questions regarding this process, I have additional information and photos available at my office.

FROM: JANE GLEAS0N SUBJECT: RESTRICTIONS ON 81 38TH AVENUE PIN 34 30 24 44 0034 DATE: AUGUST 29, 1994 Mr. Commers has contacted a County Commissioner as to the value placed on his property. He feels that the Restrictions limit the value of the property and its sale. The property is now being used as warehouse. The County Assessor's Office said that warehouse property typically sells for less then manufacturing property, therefore the restrictions may force them to lower the value. They question the restricted use for manufacturing, machine shops, and upholstering businesses, in light of the fact that these types of businesses today impact less on the neighborhood then they did years ago because of the strict industrial standards. Diana Stellmach of the Anoka County Assessor's Office is in need of a letter from the City of Columbia Heights giving the City's Opinion as to what they would enforce in the restrictions or if they wish to keep the restrictions as listed. The orginal agreement places restrictions on the property until January 1, 2005. !!!iiliiH. llli i ORDINANCE (/830 CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER · COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA 55421 BEING AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE SALE BY THE CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS OF CERTAIN REAL ESTATE KNOWN AS LOTS 16 AND 17,BLOCK 100, COM~IA HEIGHTS ANNEX TO I~NN- E~OLIS, ANOKA COUNTY, MINNESOTA Section 1.

Olson, Acting Police Chief Summer Bicycle Patrol August 30, 1994 This memo is to inform you that the summer bicycle patrol program has come to an end. Kevin Rosar will be missed as he returns to college out of the metro area. I hope we will be fortunate enough next spring to find such a talented young person to continue the Columbia Heights Bicycle Safety Program for our community. The program, as promised, was invaluable to the children in our community. The impact of our program is widespread due to the word of mouth from children who attended our seminars to children who did not. From the attached report submitted by Kevin Rosar, you will see statistics that are quite interesting. Parental attendance at the safety seminars is even up from previous years. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Mayor and Council members for their cooperation in funding this program, as without them, it would not have been possible. 94-263 Attachments CC: Mayor Sturdevant Council Member Nawrocki Council Member Ruettimann Council Member Peterson Council Member Jolly Columbia Heights Police Department Bicycle Safety Program 1994: Program Report Kevin C. Rosar Columbia Heights Police Department The Bicycle Safety program for 1994 was aimed at reducing the number of accidents of bicyclists through enforcement and education. This year, new innovations in enforcement, and learning were used to help children understand their part as a bicyclist. The program has reached a large segment of the bicycling population for the 1994 season. Of those stopped, t08 were issued bicycle safety citations, where a violator would be required to attend a bicycle safety seminar at the Police station. Approximately 2.5 contacts, that were not issued tags, occurred per day. They would not be issued tags for a number of reasons, including, they were too old for the program, or too young. Violators who were too old were advised that they should follow all of the laws that motor vehicles do. This was a very small population of about 15 people, as most people over the age of 15 have a drivers license. Those considered too young would be under the age of eight years old. I instructed them onsite of the violation, informing them that they must ride on the right side of the road, and asking them which side was the right side of the road, explaining to them that they must stop at stop signs, that they must lock their bicycle, and purchase a bicycle license if they didn't already have one. A total of six seminars were held during the summer. The typical seminar lasted about 35 minutes, with the video Bicycle Safety Camp being a primary tool in the instruction of violators. In addition, I talked about the importance of bicycle licenses, that bicycles should be locked whenever they are not being ridden, and why its important to stop at stop signs, and ride on the right side of the road. A new innovation for this year was a quiz at the end of the class. The quiz was used in the last four seminars, and seemed to be very beneficial. The quiz was eight points, with a score of six being passing. Only four people scored less than six, and I went through the test with all four and explained why their answer was wrong. Other new innovations for this year included the use of stickers for children who were tiding their bicycles. I would stop and talk to them about the licenses, locks, and rules of riding their bicycle. At the end of the converstion, when I was sure they knew what I explained to them, they would be given a sticker which said, "Cohtmbia Heights Police Departme~t Be a Better Bicyclist: Think Bicycle Safety." Football cards were also given out to those who rode their bicycles, geared more towards those who were actually seen stopping a stop signs, or riding on the right side of the road. About 30 football cards were given out, and about 40 stickers. All violators were tracked on database and sent out a form letter via computer software, which even print out the envelopes to be sent to the parents. This tracking was of enormous help, because of the large number of parents who needed to reschedule their child due to other activities, such as little league baseball, camping, and vacations. This automation cut the time to send out letters, reschedutings, and followups by atleast haiti. The combination of enforcement, education, and new ideas to help children learn has made a difference. I have seen more children stop for stop signs than I ever have, in the past two years of this program. The seminars, stickers, baseball cards, and quizzes appear to have made a difference. The bicycle safety program is a necessary program to Colmnbia Heights Bicycle Safety August 30, 1994 continue to educate the ever growing population of young riders unfamiliar with the rules of riding bicyclists on the city streets. 1st Letter 2nd Letter Resoheduled Parents Attending Additional Children No-Shows 106 23 12 t2 10 7 Wrong Side No License Stop Sign Semaphore iCarrying Passenge Listening to Headphone 47 70 67 4 3 4 * Note: offenese may be one or more of above Bicycle Safety Violations 70- 60- 10- 0 Violation Type · Wrong Side 1No License · Stop Sign [] Semaphore · Carrying Passenger [] Listening to Headphones TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS Public Works Department PATRICK HENTGES /~lJ0 ~I! ,1~4 CITY MANAGER MAN AGER MARK A.

During the first inspection period this year (June 7, 8, 9), three trees were identified on Mr. Jonak's property as being diseased. One tree had two trunks. The trees were marked in orange paint with a "T" by the inspector. Per our procedure, Mr. Jonak was mailed a registered letter on June 17th informing him that diseased elms were identified on his property. The letter was dated June 20 and gave him five days from that date to notify the City if he wished to obtain his own contractor to have the trees properly removed. The letter gave the estimated cost of removal and also stated that if he did not notify the City by the given timeframe, the City's contractor would remove the trees. The letter explained that he would be billed for 1/2 of the City's cost or reimbursed for 1/2 of the charge if the removal was to be done by another contractor. Mr. Jonak contacted the Public Works Secretary and indicated that the City charge was way too high and he was going to get estimates from Woodland Tree and Arps Tree Service. The Public Works Secretary explained to Mr. Jonak that neither of those two fn'ms were, at that time, licensed to work in the City. He said he would let her know. As he did not notify her by June 24th, the trees were on the list given to the City's contractor. On June 30, Bluemel's Tree Service, the City's contractor, removed the marked trees. On July 1 Mr. Jonak contacted the Public Works Secretary and the Public Works Superintendent to express his anger over the trees being removed by the City Contractor at twice the prices quoted to him by other firms. I met with Mr. Jonak and after reviewing the situation with him and the staff, offered to have him reimburse the City for 1/2 of the lowest written quote he had received. He questioned a fourth tree in this yard. I explained that if the tree had not been marked by the inspector, our contractor could not take the tree. Memorandum to Patrick Hentges August 30, 1994 Page 2 At the August 22 Council meeting, Mr. Jonak mentioned two trees that were marked last year and never removed. A review of our records show that no trees were identified on his property in 1993. The same review did reveal that three trees were marked at 3929 Polk in 1993 but were not removed because the contractor could not locate the trees. I am assuming that the trees were actually at 3929 Johnson and the inspector noted the wrong address on his log. Two trees were identified and removed in 1991. Based on Mr. Jonak's comments, the City Forester visited the property on August 23rd. He discovered, in a heavily wooded portion of the property, a dead elm tree and another tree that may be showing signs of disease, but due to the time of year may only be showing stress. Neither tree has been marked as our formal inspection period is over. The dead tree is a 6" diameter and the cost to remove is $75.90 plus tax. MAW:jb 94-584 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS Public Works Department PATRICK HENTGES CITY MANAGER PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER RETAINING WALLS AUGUST 29, 1994 A. U6 .,".tn ~994 CITY OF COLUMBIA HEtC.~I$ Staff is seeking direction on how to handle situations with regard to retaining walls that will be occurring more often over the next few years. As many of the streets and alleys were constructed or improved, retaining walls were used for a variety of reasons. These reasons include: reducing disturbance to adjoining properties, inability to obtain easements for back sloping, restricted fight-of-way, etc. Many of these walls are 30+ years old now and are or will be in need of repair or reconstruction. Some of the walls are within the right-of-way, while others are on private property and there is always the question as to who is responsible for the repair or reconstruction. Currently staff is dealing with two of these issues. The first involves the existing concrete block wall on the north end of the east side of the alley from 42nd to 43rd, between Central and Van Buren. This wall was probably constructed in the early 60's in conjunction with the paving of the alley. The wall appears to be in good condition except that many of the cap blocks are missing or in poor shape. If not re-capped, the wall will detefiorate due to the introduction of water into the wall. As the wall is just outside of the alley fight-of-way, a letter was sent to the property owners asking that they have the wall repaired. One property owner has contacted staff to explain that he did not feel it was his responsibility to repair this wall. Should staff leave the responsibility of this repair to the property owners? Should staff repair the wall as maintenance and would this set a precedent for the dozens of retaining walls that could be in similar conditions? Should an improvement project be started with costs assessed to the property owners? Memorandum to Patrick I-tentges August 29, 1994 Page 2 The second situation is an existing field stone, dry staked retaining wall on 40th Avenue at 4201 Arthur. This wall was also apparently installed in the 60's when 40th Avenue was reconstructed and lowered through this section. According to the property owner, the City supplied him with the rock and he constructed the wall. The property owners is now asking the City to repair the wall. This wall, like most dry stacked limestone walls, has moved due to frost action and deterioration of the rock. It is located directly behind the curb. There is no record in our files of any agreement between the City and the property owner with regard to this walt. Staff feels that this wall should be the responsibility of the property owner as is the case with similar retaining walls throughout the City. Typically, the construction of retaining walls is not allowed within the right-of-way in order to allow for snow storage. Staff has allowed reconstruction of existing walls in the right-of-way if there are extenuating circumstances such as large trees or extensive existing landscaping. Additionally, staff does not permit the construction of dry stacked limestone wails as a general rule.

Enclosed is a summary of our findings from 40 municipalities throughout Minnesota. If you have any questions, regarding the summary or the study, please call the Multi Housing Association office. Thank you again for the time you put into this project. Sincerely, Carter Vonasek Enc: Summary Minnesota Multi Housing Association · 8030 Old Cedar Avenue · Bloomington, MN 55420 · (612) 854-8500 Fax (612) 858-8336 ossc~3tlon EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE serving The Rental Community 1994 CITY RENTAL HOUSING QUESTIONNAIRE On June 26, MHA sent questionnaires to forty-five different municipalities throughout the State of Minnesota. The surveys consisted of twenty-eight questions covering rental codes, licensing, and fees. After receiving thirty-nine of the completed surveys, a data- base was compiled for future use by the Municipal Affairs Committee and ali interested MHA members. Because the data-base consists of twenty-eight pages, all of the information we have cannot be printed here. If you desire more complete data, it is available through the MHA office for a nominal sum. While rental property owners in Minnesota are paying a high property tax rate, they are also having to pay for several other services through fees. Some of these fees are for licensing, inspections, fire protection, steer lights, and traffic signals. Twenty cities license rental property and nineteen of these dries charge apartment owners licensing fees. Based on a twenty-four unit build,g, the highest yearly licensing fee is $373.00 in Minneapolis and the lowest is $52.00 in Duluth. Twenty-five of the twenty-eight cities that have rental housing maintenance codes inspect their rental units. In addition, there are three cities that do not have maintenance codes yet still inspect their rental units. Of the twenty-eight cities that inspect rental units, five cities inspect all of their rental units annually, which is the most frequent cycle applied. City inspection programs are funded through a wide variety of means including reinspection fees. There are five cities that charge for the first reinspection. One of these cities, Bumsville, charges for the first reinspection on plumbing only. Several of the other cities charge for consequent reinspections. There are two cities that charge multi-family units for fire protection. Brooklyn Park charges $5.00/unit every quarter and Maplewood charges $2.95/unit every quarter. Both of these cities also charge single family units for fire protection. The only difference is that Maplewood charges $3.70/single family unit every quarter instead of $2.95. None of the cities in our study charged a fee for police protection. Thirteen cities charge apartment owners for street lights. Based on a twenty-four unit bulding with four basic street lights on the property, Bumsville apartment owners pay the most at $94.80 every quarter. The least charged by these thirteen cities is $10.00 every quarter in Eagan. Eagan also charges multi-family and single family units for traffic signals. Apartment owners pay $1.25/unlt each quarter and single family home owners pay $1.80 every quarter. In our study, Eagan is the only city currently charging a fee for traffic signals. There are twenty-one cities that require multi-family units to recycle and eighteen that do not. Ten of the cities in our study would provide recycling to a twenty-four unit building. Anoka charges the most at $6.00/unit every quarter and Maple Grove charges the least at $1.75/unit every quarter. Minneapolis gives a $21.00/unit credit every quarter if they recycle. In the other cities, the apartment owners have to contract with their own haulers. The only city that provides a city nm garbage collection system for multi-family units in our study is Champlin. Thirty of the cities have an open enterprise system where the owner can choose any hauler licensed with the city. The remaining eight cities contract with specific haulers for multi-family units. Since many of the cities in our study charge different rates (based on quantity used) for water and sewer, we made some calculations based on a 'typical' twenty-four unit building. According to the Metropolitan Council, an average person uses 128 gallons of water a day. We took this figure and multiplied it by two people per unit times twenty- four units times 90 days for our quarterly water use. Sewer was based on 275 gallons per household per day given by the Met Council. Storm water was based on two acres. Based on the above figures, a ~typical' twenty-fi3ur unit buildings quarterly water cost could be as high as $1040.40 in Inver Grove Heights to a low of $108.75 in Duluth. The average water cost for all of the cities would be $618.23 per quarter. For the same twenty-four unit building above, the quarterly sewer costs could be as high as $1086.50 in St. Paul. In Duluth the same sewer usage would cost a low of $320.25. The average sewer cost for all of the cities would be $739.25 per quarter. Thirteen cities charge apartment owners for storm water. Based ola the above 'typical' building, Robbinsdale would charge a high of $280.00 per quarter and Golden Valley a low of $9.00 every quarter. As one last step, we took our 'typical' twenty-four unit building and applied the licensing, sewer, water, storm water, street lights, fire protection, and police protection fees to it. This gave us a quarterly total for the above fees. St. Paul had the highest total at $2,031.14 and Duluth had the lowest at $481.00. The average total costs for the cities in this study is $1,448.37 every_quarter for a 'typical' twenty-four unit building. This average total cost for one apartment unit for one year would be $241.00.
