CITIZENS FORUM (At this time, citizens have an opportunity to discuss with the Council items not on the regular agenda. The citizen is requested to limit their comments to five minutes. Please note, the public may address the Council regarding specific agenda items at the time the item is being discussed.) Linda Ballentine, 5230 4th Street, felt the maximum six hour parking restriction in the City, which does not allow her to park in front of her home during the day, is unfair. She also felt it was unfair for Police to respond to a complaint and chalk all vehicles in the area. She felt neighbors should talk to each other instead of calling the Police. Chief Johnson indicated very few complaints of this type have been received. Hunter questioned the reason for this ordinance. Johnson indicated that at night it keeps cars off the streets, reduces burglaries, and reduces junk vehicles lefi on the street. Ballentine questioned why the portable toilet is missing from the Liquor store? Fehst stated he was not aware it is gone and will check into it. Joyce Shellito, 403 Summit Street, stated her concern regarding the properties at 3944 and 3950 Lookout Place that the City purchased and the assumption that the gas station will be expanding. She felt there are enough businesses in this area that create excessive traffic and noise. She thought the City purchased properties to demolish them and replace with new homes. Shellito questioned whether Merit Siding and other businesses in the area have the required parking spaces. She felt there is a problem with the mud between Merit Siding and the apartment building. Fehst indicated staff is preparing a response to the concerns Ms. Shellito conveyed to the Mayor. It will be suggested that the owner meet with the neighbors to discuss changes and to even find a way to reduce traffic. Fehst indicated demolition may take place during June, or later, and the City will maintain the properties following demolition. In response to Shellito, Fehst indicated the properties may be available for garden plots if the City retains the lots this year. Peterson addressed the Merit Siding issue, stating their building permit is valid for one year and they are waiting for the frost to leave before they are able to pour footings, and that the muddy area will be resolved. Shellito asked Council to consider very carefully before allowing an increase in the traffic in this area. Harold Hoium, 4321 5'h Street, stated vehicle weight restrictions are needed for the area around Lookout Place. 11. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Wyckoff, second by Jolly, to adjoum the meeting. All ayes.

COUNCIL ACTION: Admin\CC-Fireworks00 CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: APRIL 10, 2000 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT k[_ NO: ITEM: UTILITY RATE RESOLUTION NO: BY: WILLIAM ELRITE DATE: 03/31/2000 CITY MANAGER DATE: Attached herewith is a proposed resolution that is designed to simplify the format of our utility rate resolutions and place all of the information in one consolidated resolution. The last resolution that was adopted for water rates and sanitary sewer rates was in February of 1999. Refuse rates were in January of 1999. In February of 2000, a storm water utility rate resolution was adopted. This resolution reduced some of the rates in the previous water/sanitary/sewer resolution. In addition to this, during 1999 new water meters were installed on all residential property that read in gallons rather than the previous cubic foot measurement. To refine this and put it in a more customer-friendly format, we are proposing the adoption of the attached resolution which covers water supply, sanitary sewer, refuse, and the newly established storm water utility rate. None of these result in a rate change to the residents, they simply clean up the previous resolutions and redefine the rates in both a cubic foot and gallon format. They also reflect the adjustments that were approved in the resolution adopting the storm water utility rates. The goal is simply to establish a more user-friendly document. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2000-34 there being ample copies available for the public.

Offered by: Seconded by: Roll Call: CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS Gary L. Peterson, Mayor Patricia Muscovitz, Deputy City Clerk CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: APRIL 10, 2000 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT NO: ITEM: LIPDATE OF ELECTION EQUIPMENT NO: ORIGINATING DEPT: CITY MANAGER BY: WILLIAM ELRI ~ o° DATE: 03/30/2000 D :3/ During 1998 and 1999 the Anoka County Board reviewed updating election equipment county-wide. The current election counting equipment is 10 years old and has not been working as well it should during the last two election years. Based on this, in May of 1999, the Anoka County Board of Commissioners approved a county-wide replacement of election equipment. With this approval, they decided to finance the purchase for cities over a four year period at a 4.5% interest rate. Under this plan, the cost for the City to purchase nine new ballot box counting units is $36,800 after trade-in of the current equipment. Under the county financing plan this would cost the City approximately $10,000 per year for four years. As the county will no longer be supporting the old election equipment, the only other alternative for the City would be to return to paper ballots and hand counting of ballots. This is not a feasible alternative. Subsequently, it is staffs recommendation to enter into an agreement with the county for the purchase of new election equipment. This was inciuded in the year 2000 budget under the General Fund Election Department. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement with Anoka County for the purchase of nine new ballot box counters and to finance this purchase through the county program at a 4.5% interest rate over the next four years.

The survey "package" may or may not include a stamped, serf-addressed return envelope. The qucstionnaire requires responderos to follow directions and annvet e~ch question in a specific manner (cixcling a letter, checking a box, etc.). After a specific period of time, all residents ate mailed a reminder postcard. Results are based upon the number of returned ~rveys at the pre-announced "cut-off" date. Telephone P-l.ndom Sm'nVle: In this type of approach, a random sample of households are selected to be interviewed by telephone. All households have an equal chance of being selected and the adult respondeat in each household is also chosen randomly. Questionnaires are administered over the telephone by trained and supervised interviewers. Telephone numbers are tried at least six times during a one-week period, before another household is substituted for the original selection. Results are based upon a pre-set number of completed interviews.

This work is being partially funded through the DNR's Flood Mitigation Program, which is a 50/50 matching grant. Analysis/Conclusions: The work for Tyler Place and 44* Avenue was removed from the contract due to access, easement and restoration issues. This pipe has been cleaned and inspected under a separate contract and will continued to be monitored by staff. It is staff's further recommendation to replace this piping concurrent with the Street Rehabilitation Program (in 5 years), in 43 V2 Avenue, rather than in the back yards of several properties. Removal of this work accounts for the difference between the original bid price of $314,179 and the final payment price of $169,715. Staff is recommending approval of the fmal payment to Glenn Rehbein Bros and acceptance of the work. A copy of the final payment voucher and the Engineer' s Acceptance Report is attached. Recommended Motion: Move to accept the work for 1999 Storm Sewer Improvements, City Project Numbers 9907, 9908, 9909, and 9910; and, authorize final payment of $30,351.25 to Glenn Rehbein Bros of Blaine, Minnesota.

Passed this day of ,2000 Offered by: Second by: Roll Call: Gary L. Peterson Patricia Muscovitz, Deputy City Clerk CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: April 10, 2000 AGENDA SECTION: Public Hearings g ' B en APPROVAL NO: Ordinance 1404 DATE: March 31 Issue Statement: Richard Lange, President of First Community Credit Union at 843 40m Avenue NE, approached staff in November, 1999, about the possibility of amending Section 9.112(2)(o) of the Columbia Heights Zoning Ordinance which regulates car sales and fleet sales in the CBD, Central Business District. Currently car sales and fleet sales are permitted as a Conditional Use Permit in the CBD. Mr. Lange requested that the number of cars permitted to be displayed for sale increase from two to five. Background: The Credit Union currently has an auto Brokers License from the State, but they would like to receive a used car dealers license. In order to receive a used car dealers license, the applicant needs to have authority from the local jurisdiction to display a minimum of five cars on a lot. Analysis: The Zoning Ordinance currently allows two vehicles to be displayed for sale in the CBD. Please note that a zoning text amendment needs to be initiated by either the City Council or the Planning and Zoning Commission. At their regular meeting on December 7, 1999, the Columbia Heights Planning and Zoning Commission discussed the issue and moved to direct staff to initiate the necessary process for a zoning text amendment to allow five for sale vehicles to be displayed at any time in the Central Business District as opposed to two which is currently allowed. A proposed amendment was discussed during the January meeting and the proposal was eventually denied as the Commission decided that it would be beneficial to examine applicable regulations for auto sales in all zoning districts, not just the Central Business District. During the February 1 meeting, a number of issues were discussed and staff was directed to prepare an amendment for the Commission to review and also research similar ordinances from nearby communities. Staff contacted a number of cities in the metropolitan area to evaluate how other communities address auto sales, please refer to the attached staff report for a summary of this research. The proposed amendment contains consistent conditions between districts. The Planning and Zoning Commission is recommending that a separate section be created that contains these requirements, and the newly created section would be referenced for each district that allows vehicle sales. Currently, the Zoning Ordinance has Section 9.116(14) which regulates open sales lots, so Section 9.116(14)03) is being created which specifically regulates vehicle sales lots. Also, Section 9.116(14) would be changed to 9.116(14)(A). Please refer to the attached amendment and Ordinance 1404 to review the proposal. Also, the Credit Union also has facilities in Champlin and Coon Rapids, and the Planning and Zoning Commission questioned whether vehicles could be sold at those sites. Staff has researched this issue and prepared the attached memo in response. Recommendation: As discussed during the March 20 work session, the proposed amendment will permit financial institutions to display five vehicles for sale. The definition of financial institution has changed to include a bank, savings bank, savings association, or credit union. Recommended Motion: Move to waive the reading of Ordinance 1404, there being ample copies available to the public. Move to adopt Ordinance 1404 which is an ordinance amending sections 9.111 (2), 9.112(2), 9.113(2), 9.114( 1 ), 9.114(2), 9.115A(2), and 9.116(14) of the Columbia Heights Zoning Ordinance.

Peterson Ordinance 1404 Page 5 DATE: TO: FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT IV[ARCH 16, 2000 MAYOR CITY COUNCIL PLANNING A~N'D ZONING COMMISSION CITY MANAGER (ORDINANCE 1404) In response to' discussions that occurred during the March 14, 2000, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, staff has researched auto sales regulations relating to the First CommuniW Credit Unions located in Coon Rapids and Charnplin. Coon Rapids allows financial institutions to display for-sale repossessed vehicles as an accessory use to the financial institution. However, they limit the number to one and do not permit vehicles to be displayed for sale that have not been repossessed. Please note that this issue is not specifically addressed in their Zoning Ordinance, but Coon Rapids allows financial institutions to display r~ossessed vehicles as an administrative policy. The City, of Champlin does not currently allow auto sales in the zoning district in which the First Community Credit Union is located. Also, their Zoning Ordinance does not currently address the sale of repossessed vehicles as an accessory use, so that particular issue would need to be addressed if the issue arises. Based on their current regulations, the Credit Union would not be able to display any vehicles for sale at the Champlin location.

The City of New Brighton allows auto sales as a Special Use Permit in their B-3 Genera/ Business District which is their most intense commercial district. They don't have any specific conditions that need to be met but review each proposal on a case by case basis and attach conditions to the approval as deemed necessary. The City of Shoreview allows vehicle sales as a Conditional Use Permit in their C-2 General Commercial District which is their most intense commercial district and is intended to be located at an intersection that includes an arterial roadway. As is done in Fridley and New Brightorz, Shoreview's Zoning Ordinance does not contain specific conditions for vehicle sales, but conditions can be placed on a Conditional Use Permit approval by the City Council on a case by case basis. The City. of West St. Paul allows as a Conditional Use Permit automobile and other vehicles of transportation sales when they are ne~v products and when conducted entirely within a buildLng in their B-3 General Business District. In an effort to summarize the information shown above, it appears that a couple conclusions can be made. · None of the communities researched limit the number of vehicles that can be displayed for sale. · It appears that these communities allow auto sales in their higher intensity commercial districts, Similar to our RB, Retail Business District, and GB, General Business District. · Typically, conditions are placed on an approval by the City Council and are not part of the ordinance. Ana!vsis: Currently, the Columbia Heights Zoning Ordinance allows auto sales as follows. Case 2000-0101 Page: 3 CBD, Central 9.112(2)(o) (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) Business District, as a Conditional Use Permit. Car Sales/Fleet Sales/Advertisement provided that: The lot is surfaced and graded according to a plan submitted by the applicant and as approved by staff. The "for sale" or "fleet" vehicles cannot eliminate required parking spaces. No more than two (2) cars will be permitted for such use at any time. No "for sale" or "fleet" vehicle can remain on the lot for more than fourteen (14) days at any one time. lIB, Retail Business District, as a Conditional Use Permit. 9.113(2)(k) Vehicles not to exceed 2 tons, for sale in conjunction with only automobile repair businesses which do not sell fuel, provided that the following requirements are met: I) Parking area for car sales cannot eliminate required parking spaces for primary use. 2) No more than ten (10) vehicles can be displayed for sale at any one time. 3) Traffic flow on lot, lighting, parking lot striping must be approved through the Conditional Use Permit process before approval for such operation can be granted. 4) Size, type and styli of any signage for such vehicle must be within the vehicle at all times and appmved by staff. 5) All required state and local licenses must be obtained. GB, General Business District, as a Permitted Use. 9.114(1)(c) Auto and truck sales, auto repair. I-2, Industrial 9.115A(2)(b) (i) (ii) (iii) (v) (vii) Business District, as a Conditional Accessory Use. Auto sales, subject to the following conditions: The use of the property, for auto sales must be accessory, only to auto repair or auto reduction yards. The permitted and accessory uses must be on a site plan approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission or by the City Council. An open auto sales lot must comply with the provisions of Section 9.I 16(i4). All autos presented for sale must be parked on an impermeable to oil and water surface in good repair, such as asphalt or concrete and on parking spaces no smaller than twenty feet (20') in length by ten feet (10') in width. No more than fifteen (15) cars may be available for sale at any ~ven time. All cars offered for sale must be stored within a securely fenced area. All customer and employee parking must be located on a parking lot with a surface impermeable to oil and water, such as asphalt or concrete, said surface must be maintained in a condition of good repair. Recommendation: Should the Planning and Zoning Commission wish to forward an amendment to the City Council, the text should be amended to contain consiste,,t conditions be~veen districts. Staff is Case 2000-0101 Page: 4 recommending that a separate section be created that contains these requirements, and the newly created section would be referenced for each district that allows vehicle sales. Currently, the Zoning Ordinance has Section 9.116(14) which regulates open sales lots, so Section 9.116(14)(B) could be created which specifically regulates vehicle sales lots. Also, Section 9.116(14) would be changed to 9.1 I6(14)(A). The proposed amendment reads as follows. 9.116(14)Cs) Vehicle Sales Lots are subject to the following conditions. (a) The lot is surfaced and graded according to a plan subrmtted by the applicant and as approved by staff. Co) A site plan illustrating access aisles, parking locations for for-sale or fleet vehicles, storage areas, and other applicable features shall be subnmitted for review and approval. (c) The "for sale" or "fleet" vehicles cannot eliminate required partring spaces and must bc parked entirely on a privately owned parking lot(s) with a surface impermeable to oil and water, such as asphalt or concrete. (d) Signage for such vekicte must be securely attached to the vehicle and shall not extend above the roof of such vehicle. For the purposes of this condition, the vehicle roof shall be considered the higt:tcst factory installed body part, exclud/ng accessory parts such as roof racks and'antennas. (e) There shall be a building located on the lot(s) devoted to the conduct of business for vehicle sales. Amendments would also be necessary for each of the pertinent district sections that address vehicles sales. These amendments are identified below (also see the attached Ordinance 1404). CBD, Central Business District, as a Conditional Use Permit. 9.112(2)(o) Car Sales/Fleet Sales/Advertisement, subject to the conditions of Section 9. i 16(14)(B) and provided that no more than five (5) vehicles will be permitted for such use at any time. RB, Retail Business District, as a Conditional Use Permit. 9.113(2)(k) Vehicles not to exceed 2 tons, for sale in conjunction with only automobile repair businesses which do not sell fuel, subject to the conditions of Section 9.116(14)(B) and provided that no more than ten (10) vehicles will be permitted for such use at any time. GB, General Business District, as a Permitted Use. 9.114(1)(c) Auto and truck sales subject to the conditions of Section 9.116(14)(B), and auto repair. I-2, Industrial District, as a Conditional Accessory Use. 9. I 15A(2)(b) Auto sales, subject to the following conditions: (i) The use of the property for auto sales must be accessory, only to auto repair or auto reduction yards; Case 2000-010!

Recommended Motion: Move to recommend City Council approval of Ordinance 1404, an Ordinance mending sections 9.112(2)(o), 9.113(2)(k), 9.114(1)(c), 9.115A(2)Co), and 9.1 I6(14) of the Columbia Heights Zoning Ordinance.

COM,M'UNITY DEVELOPME; ;T DATE: TO: FROM: JANUARY 27, 2000 PLANNING AND ZONE~G COMZMISSION !rssue Statement: At their regttlar meeting on December 7, 1999, the Columbia Heights Planni'ng and Zoning Commission moved to direct staff to initiate the necessary process for a zoning text amendment to allow five for sale vehicles to be displayed. at my time in the Central Business District as opposed to two which is currently allovced. A proposed amendment was discussed during the 3'anuary meeting and the proposal was eventually denied, as the Commigsion decided that it would be beneficial to examine applicable r%m. dations for auto sales in all zoning districts, not just the Cenlral Business District. Analysis: Staff has reviewed all the sections of the Zoning 0rdina,uce, and auto sales are allowed, as follows: CBD, Central 9.112(2)(o) (ii) (iii) Business District, as a Conditional Use Permit. Car Sales/Fleet Sales/Advertisement provided that: The Lot is surfaced and p'aded according to a plan submitted by the applicant and as approved by staff.

Auto sales, subject to the following conditions: The use of the property for auto sales must be accessory only to auto repair or auto reduction yards. The permitted and accessory uses must be on a site plan approved by the Planning and Zonir~g Commission or by the City, Council. ~' An open auto sales lot must comply with the provisions of Section 9.116(14). All autos presented for sale must be parked on an impermeable to oil and water surface in good repair, such as asphalt or concrete and on parking spac~ no smaller than twenty feet (20') in Ienb~Ja by ten feet (10') in width. No more than fifteen (15) cars may be available for sale at any given time. All cars offered for sale must be stored within a securely fenced area. All customer and employee parking must be located on a parking lot with a surface impermeable to oil and water, such as asphalt or concrete, said surface must be maintained in a condition of good repair. The following provides a summary. of some of the issues that will need to be resolved prior to drafing an ordinance amending the various sections of the Zoning Ordinance. Parking - Staff recommends that the requirements stating that vehicles cannot eliminate required parking spaces and they must be parked entirely on a privately owned parking lot(s) with a surface impermeable to oil and water be consistently stated in every, district that allows vehicle sales. Traffic Circulation - Staff will recommend that a site plan illustrating access aisles. parking locations for for-sale vehicles, storage areas, and other applicable features be submitted for review as part of the approval process. ?ms will help ensure that safe traffic circulation and emergency ve,hicle access will be maintained. Number of Vehicles - Currently the Ordinance allows 2 vehicles to be displayed for sale in the CBD, 10 vehicles in the RIB District, and I5 vehicles in the I-2 District. There is not a limif in the GB District. .-ks you know the requested amendment was to allow 5 vehicles to be displayed for sale in the CBD. Does the Commission want to stay with these regulations? If so, the issue of repossessed vehicles will need to be clarified. You may recall that the question was raised during the .ranuary meeting whether repossessed vehicles were counted as part of the number of vehicles allowed to be displayed for sale or if they were separate. The Ordinance does not currently address this issue. Also. by limiting the number of vehicles allowed to be displayed for sale, the Ordinance prevents :~ targe-scale auto dealer, such as Friendly Chevrolet in Ffidley, t~om operating [n the CKty,. Planning and Zoning Comm~siox, january 27, 2000 Pagt 3 Length ofTline - As the Ordinance currently exists, for-sale and fleet vehicles can remain on the lot for no more than 14 days in the CBD. The other districts do not specify a length of time. Questions arise whether this should be consistent among districts and also why the 14 day requirement was initiated. What is the benefit of limiting the leng'th of time a vehicle can be displayed for sale if the City allows only a certain amber of cars to be displayed at one time? This requirement is difficult to enforce because staff does not know when vehicIes are first displayed. If the Commission decides it is necessary to continue with this requirement, it may be beneficial to require that the-business owner register the vehicle with the City so the leng'th of time for its display can be monitored. Signage - Tae section of the Ordinance re~mxlating auto sales in the RB District currently requires that size, type and style of any signage for such vehicle must be within the vehicle at all times and approved by staff. Staff has some concerns with this specific language. It states that the signage must be approved by staff, but there are no regulations on which to base an approval. Staff recommends that specific signage reg~.dations be included in any amendmerit. Also, from a business perspective, only allowing signage inside a vehicle may seem restrictive as the business owners would want the for-sale vehicles to attract attention. Accessory vs. Principal Use - The i-2 District only allows vehicle sales as an accessory use to auto repair or auto reduction yards. Should this remain a requirement? Auto sales could be a principal use in the CBD, RB and GB Dis~icts. One condition to consider is the possibility of requiring a principal structure on the lot in which to conduct business as . opposed to having a lot that is vacant of structures being used only to store and sell for- sale vehicles. Landscaping and Fencing - T'ae i-2 District currently requires that all cars offered for sale be stored in a securely fenced area. Should the City. continue to require this, or should it be left up to the bus~ess ow~aer? Also, Section 9.1 I6(14) "Open Sales Lots" of the Zoning Ordinance requires that the required yard abutting a public right-of-way shall be landscaped and said landscaping shall be separated from the usable pomon of the tot by a curb or fence. Is this a condition that should be required for auto sales lots m all zoning districts, and how should it apply if auto sales is not the principal use of the lot? Lighting - Section 9.116(14) "Open Sales Lots" also requires that the outdoor ti~ting system shall be so designed that no direct source of light is visible from the public rind-It- of-way or adjacent land. Is this a condition that should be required tbr auto sales lots in all zoning districts, and how should it apply if auto sales is not the principal use of the lot? In an effort to provide a comparison of re~m. tlations, staff has contacted the City, of Fridley, and P!annmg~nd Zoning Comam~ss~on January27,2000 Page 4 they allow "Agencies setlin=~ or-displaying new and/or used motor vehicles" in their C-2, Generaj Business District, and their C-3, General Shopping Center District, as a special use permit. As an example the following summarizes the stipulations that they imposed on their approval for Friendly Chevrolet. 1. Curbing to be installed around blacktop parking and driveway areas located in front of building. 2. Parking spaces on parking area to be marked for cars. 3. Curbing to be provided along black-top area along Fireside Drive sometime in the future. 4. Landscape and plating to be approved by the City. ~- 5. Slats in existing buNpen area. 6. Provide security Lighting. 7. 10' radii on all blacktop comers... 8. Provide 30' planting strip directly in front of building. 9. Provide 15' planting strip along west side of 2 parking lots located to the north and south of building. I0. All remodeling to be subject to Fire Codes. Based upon the discussion that occurred during the Ianury 4, 2000, Plmg and Zoning Commission meeting, the information presented above has been assembled to be used as a basis for discussion at the February 1 meeting. Staff will be seeking direction from the Commission regardin=~ which issues and regulations should be addressed in the Ordinance amendment prior to ~oing through a public hem'in=~ process.

Case hrisror,': Richard Lunge, President of First Community Credit Union at 843 40a~ Avenue N'E, has approached staff about the possibility. of amending Section 9.112(2)(o) of the Columbia Heights Zoning Ordinance which regulates car sales and fleet sales in the CBD, Central Business District Currently car sales and fleet sales are pe:w. itted as a Conditional Use Permit in the CBD. Please note that a zoning text amendment needs to be initiated by either the City, Council or the Planning and Zoning Commission. First Community Credit Union cu.rrentty has a Conditional Use Permit to sell vehicles from their C~se: 2000-0101 Page: 2 site. M.r. Lange is requesting that the number of cars permitted for sale increase f~om two to five. The Credit Union currently has'an Auto Brokers License, but they want to receive a used car dealers license from the State. In order to receive a used car dealers license the applicant needs to have authority to display a minimum of five cars on a lot. The used car dealers lic~-mse will enable the Credit Union to buy cars for their members at auto dealers auctions. The following provides a brief case history for the Credit Union property at 843 ~,0e' Avenue NE. · Case 9510-45 was a request by the Credit Union for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of a two-cLay car sales promotion in their parking lot. This request was approved provided that no more tJ:mn two, two-day car sales for members only took place per year. · Case 9601-01 was a request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of a permanent car sales lot with up to five vehicles on display in their parking lot.' This request was denied because a permanent car sales lot was not allowed in the Central Business District. · Case 9603-1.2A was a request for an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit section of the Central Business District portion of the Zoning Ordinance that was initiated by the City Council to facilitate 9peration of a car sales/fleet sales for the Credit Union. The proposed amendment (Section 9.112(2)(o))was approved. · Case 9603-I2B was a request by the Credit Union for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the ongoing sale of two vehicles on their parking Iot which was approved. A~NALYSIS Technical Review.' Section 9.112(2)(o) of the Colu.mbia Heights Zoning Ordinance cm'rently reads as follows. 9.112(2)(o) Car Sales/Fleet Sales/Advertisement provided that: (i) The lot is surfaced and graded according to a plan submitted by the applicant and as (iii) (iv) approved by staff. Tze "for sale" or "fleet" vehicles carmot eliminate requLred pax!,dng spaces. No more than two (2) c~s will be permitted for such use at any tin,.e. No "for sale" or "~leet" vehicle can reinart on the lot for more than fourteen (I~.) days at any one time. ~'Z'~e proposed amendment reads as follows: 9.112(2)(o) Car Sales/Flee,. Sales/Advertisement provided that: (i) T'ne Iqt is surfaced and graded according to a plan submitted by the applicant agd as approved by staff. (ii) The "for sale" or "fleet" vehicles cannot eliminate required parking spaces and must be ~arked entirely on a mrivatelv owned parking lot(s~ with a surface impermeable to oil and water, such as asphalt or concrete. (iii) No more than t'vm-(qS five (5] cars will be permitted for such use at any time. (iv) No "for sale" or "Sect" vehicle can remain on the tot for more than fourteen (l~) days at my one time. (v_2 Size. tvoe ~d srvte of an,,' si~a~e ~or such vehicle must be within the vehicle at all Case: 2000-010I Dgc: 3 times and apDroved bv staff As noted previously, no more than two vehicles are permitted for sale at one time and the "for- sale" or "fleet" vehicles cannot eliminate required parking 'spaces. Also, Section 9. I I6(2)(m) of the Zoning Ordinance states that required off-street parking space in all districts shall not be used for the storage of vehicles that are for sale or for rent. First Community Credit Union currently has 17 parking spaces available on site and 15 are required, so utilizing two spaces to store for sale vehicles is consistent with zoning re~mJations. However, this property is located within the downtown parking district, and those non-residential parcels located in the district are not required to provide off-street parking facilities. As a result, if the number o~'parking spaces desi~znated to display for-sale vehicles were increased from two to five, parking requirements will not be violated. Please note that the amended language for subpart (ii) states that Vehicles must be parked entirely on a privately owned parIcing lot(s) with a surface impermeable to oil and water, such as asphalt or concrete. This will alleviate concerns about parking for-sale or fleet vehicles on-street or in one of the municipal parking ramps/lot, and it will also ensure that for-sale or fleet vehicles are parked on a hard surface. Staff has reviewed other sections of the Zoning Ordinance, and auto sales are allowed in other districts, as follows: lIB, Retail Business District, as a Conditional Use Permit. 9.113(2)(k) Vehicles not to exceed 2 tons, for sale in conjunction with only automobile repair businesses which do not sell fuel, provided that the following requirements are met: 1) Parking area for car sales cannot eliminate required parking spaces for primary, use. 2) No more than ten (I0) vehicles can be displayed for sale at any one time. 3) Traffic flow on tot, Iightmg, parldng lot striping must be approved throu~r~ the Conditional Use Permit process before approval for such operation can be graated. 4) Size, ,type and style of any signage for such vehicle must be within the vehicle at all times and approved by staff. 5) ALl required state and local licenses must be obtained. GB, General Business District, as a Perm,itted Use. 9.t l~(l)(c) Auto and truck sales, auto repair. 1-2, Industrial 9.115A(2)(b) (0 (iii) (iv) Business District, as a Conditional Accessory Use. Auto sales, subject to the following conditions: The use of the property, for auto sales must be accessory only to auto repair or auto reduction yards. The permit-ted and accessory, uses must be on a site plan approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission or by the City Council. .-kn open auto sales lot must comply with the provisions of Section 9.1 I6(I-~). All autos presented for sale must be parked on an impermeable to oil and water surface in good repair, such as asphalt or concrete and on parking spaces no C~e: 2000-0101 Page: 4 (V) (vi) smaller than twenty feet (20') in length by ten feet (10') in width. No more than fifteen (15) cars may be available for sale at any given time. All cars offered for sale must be stored within a securely fenced area. All customer and employee parking must be located on a parking lot with a surface impermeable to oil and water, such as asphalt or concrete, said surface must be maintained in a condition of good repair. As evidenced by the information listed above, the City is somewhat inconsistent in our regulation off auto sales. Staff will recommend that this issue be reviewed in more detail as we rewrite the Zoning Ordinance. " One concern is the potential impact that increasing the number of vehicles that can be displayed for sale may have on the Central Business District. As a reminder, an application for a Conditional Use Permit to allow auto/fleet sales can be made by any property owner in the District. It is not limited to the Credit Union. Car sales lots are generally not desired in a Central Business District which is typically associated with hig]:ter density retail sales and service based businesses. The question arises ~vhether increasing the number of cars allowed for sale from two to five will have an impac: on Columbia Heights' Central Business District. Comoliance with City Comz~rehensive Plan.' The City Comprehensive Plan designates this area for future commercial development and as an area of special planning interest. The commercial designation is designed to accommodate retail sales, offices, service businesses (no outdoor storage or si=q'fificant mack traffic, compatible with a retail or office environment). The Plan also states that the City should continue to promote the long-term evolution of the 40a' Avenue corridor to commercial as opposed to residential. The proposal does not seem to impact the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. Summary: The positive aspects of this proposal are as follows: I. The zoning text amendment would allow First Community Credit Union to e~,ance their service to their customers by enabling them to receive a used car dealers license ~:om the State of Minnesota. The negative aspects oft his proposal are as fiDllows: 1. Increasing the number of vehicles that can be displayed for sale may have a negative impact on the image of the Central Business District CONCLUSION &afi R ecommendation: Based upon the discussion that occurred during the December 7, 1.999, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, it does not appear that increasing the number of vehicles allowed for sale from t~vo to five will be detrimental to the Central Business District. However, staff has noted that there are some inconsistencies [n our regulation of auto sales throughout the ChF., so staff is Case: 2000-0101 Page: 5 recommending that this issue be evaluated in more detail as the City rewrites the Zoning Orc[inance. : Recommended Motions: Move to recommend City Council approval of Ordinance 1404, an Ordinance amending S~tion 9.112(2)(o) of the Columbia Heigjats Zoning Ordinance. Move to direct staff to evaluate the regulations perta~n{ng to auto sales in all zoning districts during the Zoning Ordinance rewrite process.

Analysis: As noted previously, no more than two vehicles are permitted for sale at one time and the "for sale" or "fleet" vehicles cannot eliminate required parking spaces. A/so, Section 9. I 16(2)(m) of the Zoning Ordinance states that required off-street parkring space in all districts shall not be used for the storage of vehicles that axe for sale or for rent. Fixst Community Credit Union currently has 17 paxking spaces available on site and 15 are required, so utilizing two spaces to store for sale vehicles is consistent with zoning re~lations. However, this property is located within the downtown paring district, and those non-residential parcels located in the dis~ct are not required to provide off-street p ~ facilities. As a result, if the number of parking spaces designated to display for sale vehicles were increased from two to ~ve, par'~r~ng requirements will not be violated. One concern [s the potential impact that increasing the number of vehicles that can be displayed for sale may have on the Cen~al Business District. As a reminder, an application for a Conditional Use Permit to allow autoifleet sales can be made by any property. owner in the Dis~ct. It is not limited to the Credit Union. Car sales tots are generally not desired in a Central Business D[su-"ict which is ,typically associated with hi_~__her density. retail sales and seN'ice based b~inesses. The cuestion ~ses whether increasing the number of cars allowed for sale ~cm ~vo to five will have an impact on Columbia Heights' Central Business Dis~.ct. Comvrehensive P!an.' The City. Comprehensive Plan designates 'd-~is area for future commercial development and ~ an area of special plmtning interest. The commercial designation is designed to accommodate retail sales, offices, service businesses (no outdoor storage or si_mniflcant truck tr:ff~c, compatible with a retail or office environment). The Plan also states that the City, should continue tb promote the long-term evolution of the 40"' Avenue corridor to commercial ~ opposed to residential. The proposal does not seem to impact the goals and obj octires of the Comprehensive Plan. .q .dern_-:e .~,[ctions .'

Background: On February 14, 2000, the City Council imposed a 120 day moratorium on the change in use of property within the four business districts in the City. Affected districts include the LB Limited Business District, the CBD Central Business District, the RB Retail Business District, and the GB General Business District. During the work session on April 3, 2000, Families Moving Forward requested that the City Council grant an exception to the moratorium so they can remodel and occupy the building at 4101 Central Avenue NE. Analvsis: There are a number of options for the City Council to consider when evaluating this request. Four options are outlined below. 1. Terminate the moratorium. Should the City Council decide to pursue this option, the attached Resolution 2000-35 should be adopted which is a resolution terminating the moratorium. This would allow Families Moving Forward to proceed with their application, and any other applications which have been delayed due to the moratorium would also be able to proceed. However, we would not have satisfied the original intent of the moratorium which was to allow time for the completion of the Zoning Ordinance rewrite, the Comprehensive Plan, and Master Redevelopment Plan. Grant a special release from the moratorium for Families Moving Forward. Should the City Council decide to pursue this option, an Emergency Ordinance should be passed which would continue the moratorium but would grant a release for Families Moving Forward. This Emergency Ordinance No. 1412would include findings of fact that identify the unique aspects of their situation. Some possible findings are as follows: (A) They are a non-profit organization that due to termination of a use agreement will lose their existing space effective July 1, 2000; (B) They provide a necessary service to homeless families; (C) The subject parcel has been vacant for approximately three years and has been donated to the organization. Please note that this Emergency Ordinance No. 1412 would not approve the use of the building which would be subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. , Maintain the full moratorium. This option is consistent with the original intent of the moratorium and would allow time to complete the Zoning Ordinance rewrite and adopt the Comprehensive Plan and Master Redevelopment Plan. Should the Council pursue this option, Families Moving Forward would not receive a special release, and they would have to wait until the moratorium expires or is terminated at a later date by Council action to proceed with their permit application. Please note that the attached Emergency Ordinance No. 1413 should be passed by the City Council to continue the moratorium. The original moratorium was processed as a resolution, and it has been brought to staffs attention that an emergency ordinance would be the proper form of action. Eminent Domain. Another option for the City Council to consider is the possibility of using the power of eminent domain to acquire the property. Please note that the draft Master Redevelopment Plan for Downtown Columbia Heights indicates that a pocket park should be developed at 4 101 Central Avenue. Please note that according to Section 20 of the Columbia Heights City Charter an Emergency Ordinance requires a 4/5 majority vote by the Council. Recommended Motions: Should the City Council choose to terminate the moratorium, staff recommends that the following motions be made. Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2000-35, there being ample copies available to the public. Move to adopt Resolution 2000-35, being a resolution of the Columbia Heights City Council terminating the 120 day moratorium on the change in use of property within the business districts in the City of Columbia Heights. Should the City Council decide to grant a special release for Families Moving Forward, staff recommends that the following motions be made. Move to waive the reading of Emergency Ordinance No. 1412, there being ample copies available to the public. Move to adopt Emergency Ordinance No. 1412, an Emergency Ordinance imposing a moratorium on the change in use of property within the business districts in the City of Columbia Heights and releasing Families Moving Forward from the conditions of the moratorium. Should the City Council decide to maintain the existing moratorium, staff recommends the following motions be made. Move to waive the reading of Emergency Ordinance No. 1413, there being ample copies available to the public. Move to adopt Emergency Ordinance No. 1413, an Emergency Ordinance imposing a moratorium on the change in use of property within the business districts in the City of Columbia Heights. Should the City Council decide that the property should be acquired through eminent domain, staff recommends that the following motion be made. Move to direct the City Attorney to initiate the necessary process to utilize the power of eminent domain to acquire the property at 4 101 Central Avenue NE.

Peterson CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: APRIL 10, 2000 AGENDA SECTION: OTHER ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS NO: 7 A-2 ORIGINATING DEPT.: ADMINISTRATION CITY MANAGER APPROVAL ITEM: CONSIDER RESOLUTION 2000-37 TO REMOVE A CERTIFIED SPECIAL ASSESSMENT NO: BY: WALTER FEHST JANE GLEASON DATE: APRIL 10,2000 BY: Aida F. Perez-Rodas met with Walter Fehst and Jane Gleason this morning regarding the $2719.22 certified to her property taxes payable this year. She said that she cannot pay that amount and 'that she thought the amount would be $1,500.00 and claims that she was unaware of the additional costs and the total amount of the assessment. BACKGROUND: April 6, 1998 a letter and a form "AUTHORIZATION TO RAZE HAZARDOUS BUILDING" was mailed to Ms. Perez-Rodas, the contract purchaser and to Mr. Thomas Sullivan, the fee owner of the property at 3900 Central Avenue. A copy of the letter is attached. Mr. Sullivan did return his signed authorization form however, Ms. Perez-Rodas did not return hers. The Building Official tried to get her to sign the authorization form, but was unsuccessful. He then sent a memo on July 2, 1998 to the City Council with copies of the resolutions to request to have the City Attorney pursue District Court approval. July 13, 1998 the City Council adopted a resolution declaring the garage and retaining wall located at 3900 Central Avenue N.E. as hazardous. A garage located at 3900 Central Avenue was removed last year after going through the legal process. Resolution 99-88 was passed November 8, 1999 to certify all the costs related to the property at 3900 Central Avenue N.E. RESULT OF M~TING: The City Manager told Ms. Perez-Rodas that he would ask the City Council to pass a resolution to have the certified amount of $2,719.22 removed from the taxes payable this year.

OLD BUSINESS Annual Statewide Essay Contest-Magee reported that there were no essays submitted for the Second Annual Statewide Essay Contest sponsored by the League of Minnesota Human Rights Commission. Essays were due to the city by January 28, 2000. Commission members felt we should participate next year, and perhaps publicize the contest in the Focus and City Newsletter. Status of Filling Vacancies on the Commission-Magee reported that the City Council conducted interviews to fill vacancies on commission, and as a result will be appointing four individuals to the Human Services Commission at their Council meeting of March 13, 2000.

Nominations will be reviewed at the May meeting and a selection will be made. Plans for the Humanitarian of the Year Reception will also be discussed in May. Other New Business-Magee reported Julienne Wyckoff has arranged to have School Board Member, Tammy Schmitz, attend the May commission meeting to discuss diversity issues in the schools, and how the Human Services Commission could assist. It was noted that at Highland Elementary alone, nineteen languages are spoken. Magee reported that she was contacted by Dave Sallman, Fridley Public Safety Director (who serves as the staff liaison to Fridley's Human Resources Commission) about holding a joint meeting of the Columbia Heights Human Services Commission and Fridley Human Resources Commission to discuss diversity issues, areas of concern and interest in projects the two commissions could work on jointly. The commission members present came up with two potential meeting dates: Wednesday, April 5 at 7:00 pm or Tuesday, April 11% at 7:00 pm. Columbia Heights would host the meeting.

This is a fee-waived group who used the main hall and disregarded the decorating rules. LETTER TO NEW PARK & RECREATION COMMISSION MEMBER PATRICK CULLEN Members introduced themselves and welcomed Pat Cullen to the Park & Recreation Commission. PAGE TWO OLD BUSINESS COMPARISON OF USAGE POLICIES FOR NON-PROFIT AND CIVIC GROUPS Members reviewed the policies used by other community centers for non-profit and civic groups. Members felt that Fridley Community Center has a good policy for times when staff is not normally scheduled. The idea was discussed that there should be an opening fee and hourly fee for staff on Sundays and/or for fundraisers to cover our costs. Members felt that all non-profit and civic groups should be charged equally. These groups should be notified in writing of the policy change. Motion by Ruettimann, second by Foss to enact a policy whereby all fee-waived groups (including City departments, schools, non-profit, and civic groups) will be charged a $40 opening fee and $15 per hour for each staff working their event. The user will pay for security and pre-mix at the current rate, if needed. This will apply to any room being used during any time when Murzyn Hall is not already staffed. Additionally, these groups shall be required to make their reservations at least two weeks prior to their event. These groups shall be limited to using long tables on the wood floor. This policy shall go into effect on April 26, 2000 pending approval by the City Council. All ayes, motion carded. Reconsidered Motion on 5A - Request to use Main Hall.

The grant monies would go toward improvements at Prestemon Park, Silver Lake fishing pier and boat launch, and Ramsdell Park. Members viewed plans for improvements to Ramsdell Park. The grant application will be hand delivered to the DNR on Friday, March 24, 2000. Members were advised that the DNR will have more grant monies available next year. NEW BUSINESS RE-APPOINTMENT OF BRUCE MAGNUSON TO PARK & RECREATION COMMISSION Brace Magnuson has been re-appointed to serve on the Park and Recreation Commission for a five year term which will end in 2005. DISCUSSION OF OVERNIGHT RENTALS The Recreation Director explained a rental that occurred on Friday, March 3, 2000. The renter told staff that the event was a CD release party that would mn from 9:00 a.m. until 6:00 a.m. the moming of March 4. Staff and security were present during the entire event. Staff found many cigarette bums in the carpeted area after the event, and staff strongly suspects that the party-goers PAGE THREE were using illegal drugs in the building. Staff believes that the event was actually a Rave party. Motion by Magnuson, second by Mayer to prohibit overnight rentals except for City or school events, effective immediately. All ayes, motion carried. Members requested that Eileen Evans send a letter to the Police Department requesting that CSO's be more proactive while on duty at Murzyn Hall. A copy of this letter should also be sent to the City Council. DISCUSSION OF TABLE SET-UPS FOR FEE-WAIVED GROUPS Discussion took place under Old Business, Comparison of usage policies for non-profit and civic groups. REPORTS PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER The Public Works Superintendent passed out the skating rink attendance report for this winter. Rink attendance was up from last season, possibly due to the mild winter. Staff would like to replace the trash receptacles at the parks. Members viewed a brochure showing an example of the new trash receptacles. Staff would like to purchase 38 to 40 receptacles for Huset and Sullivan Parks. RECREATION DIRECTOR The Recreation Director reported that we have hired a new Recreation Program Coordinator, Cindy Willprecht. Cindi is a graduate of Gustavus Adolphus College and previously worked for the YMCA. She will run the Chase Program, summer programs, youth enrichment programs, and special events. Staff has purchased a new tiller for the garden plots. Public Works will assist in tilling the garden. MEMBERS Commission members inquired about the status of the wading pools. The pools are non- compliant in regard to the filters; however, some other improvements have been made to the pools. It will cost approximately $95,000 to bring the pools into compliance with the Department of Health. The Public Works Director/City Engineer recommends that we continue to operate the pools and open them this year. Members would like to review the report prepared by Lauren McClanahan several years ago in regard to the pools before opening them this year. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Ruettimann, second by Magnuson to adjourn. All ayes, motion carried.

Correspondence Log and Complaint Follow Up. 1. No formal complaints were received, but Dennis Stroik reported that D.J. Murzyn at 1300 Lincoln Terrace objects to the process one must go through when needing service. He felt he had to go through too many people to get a problem resolved. Kathi will follow up on this. 2. Dan Swee had received a complaint from Allen Askegard at 4334 MeLeod regarding the phone service offered by Cable. It took five installers to hook up the service, the line was full of static and inoperable 80% of the time. He has since canceled the service and remmed to US West 3. Ken Henke indicated one of his renters had a similar problem, but it was resolved in one day. C, Merger Update Brochure for February 2000 The brochure was enclosed in the agenda packet for the commissioners to review. Kathi Donnelly-Cohen indicated the merger should be complete by the beginning of the 2'a quarter. Other Old Business There was no other old business. TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION MINUTES MEETING OF MARCH 16, 2000 PAGE 2 NEW BUSINESS A. Presentation on Metricom's Ricochet System and Use of Right of Way Agreement, Bob Buell Mr. Buell, of Buell Consulting, presented information about Metricom's 14 year history in Los Gatos, CA. Metricom is requesting "right of way" access in our city for the purpose of installing radio transmitters capable of serving as a wireless Internet Service Provider. This is not for cell phone service. Agreements are being negotiated with 75 cities in the 7 county metropolitan area with the hope of building their transmission area in the fourth quarter of 2000. The units to be installed on the poles or wires were displayed (they are slightly larger than a shoe box). The attachment for the individual computers are the size of a thin paperback novel. All transmitter units are white, and must be white, so as to reflect the sun 's heat and avoid frying the internal components. Questions from members with Mr. Buell's responses: -What would be the operation speed. The system would provide a speed of 128K. - How many transmitters would be needed in Columbia Heights? On average 7 units per square mile are required for full coverage. -What frequency is used? 900 Megahertz range, but since the signal is packeted and pulsed the interference is minimal. Buell explained the frequency is unlicensed, but not unregulated. He stated that the equipment is FCC approved. -What assurance would amateur radio operators have that the interference would not be a problem? Buell did not think it had been a problem in the areas currently served by Metricom. -What is the reliability factor of this system- downtime or busy factor? Buell stated that system had experienced very little down time and was very reliable. -Who would do the repairs should individual transmitter or dozens of them be damaged? Metricom has an office in Edina and would subcontract with NSP or others to install and repair equipment. Mr. Buell explained that radios are usually replaced, not repaired. The radios are monitored nationwide on an hourly basis, so Metricom knows within an hour ifa radio goes down. Mr. Buell stated that he personally has no experience with the system and he has never used it, or even seen it in operation. He thought it may have been used at the Minneapolis Airport for a time, but did not know the current status. The specific agreement proposed by Metricom was discussed at length. Buell stressed that Metricom wanted/needed the agreements with all of the 75 cities to be the same, and he felt it was a very generous offer since the inconvenience and maintenance required of the city would be minimal, if not zero. He stated that the city would receive an initial fee for the installation, plus up to $1,000 to cover legal fees, with an ongoing annual payment of 1% of the gross receipts of the subscribers within the city. Buell said that the contract offered was in complete agreement with Right of Way rules as defined by the PUC and the city really had very little authority in this area. Steve Guzzeta clarified that the PUC Right of Way regulations were specific to Telecommunication services and since Metricom is clearly an Intemet Service Provider and not a cable or phone service, the rules Buell referred to were not applicable to Metricom. He also questioned how "generous" the offer really was, and named two cities out east that had received not the 1% being offered, but 3% and 5% respectively, and therefore, all the contracts are not identical. Buell was adamant that no changes in the contract language would be acceptable to Metricom. However, Guzzetta stated that he and other members of his office had been in direct contact with Max Thompson, Marketing Representative for Metricom, and Joe Condo, Regional in-house legal counsel for Metricom, and specific changes had been agreed to. Steve presented the city with a copy of the current changes accepted by Metricom, as well as a fax between the Spring Lake Park attorney, Jeff Carson and Bemick and Lifson, regarding similar contract language concems. TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION MINUTES MEETING OF MARCH 16, 2000 PAGE 3 Steve advised the commission to give conditional approval, pending the final results of our attorney's efforts on the following issues: - abandonment language, performance bond, free subscriptions meaningless without modems, and a clarification of the scope of the authorization Motion by Ken Henke, seconded by Dan Swee, that the Telecommunications Commission recommends the City Council approve a right of way agreement with Metricom, as recommended by our legal counsel, once the details are worked out between Metricom and our legal counsel. All ayes. MediaOne's Notification to Customers to Convert from Old Packages to New Packages Letters sent to customers still subscribing to old packages were enclosed in the agenda packets. The subscribers were informed they will need to choose a current package as MediaOne is striving to make billing more consistent. Kathi indicated that in addition to the letters each person is being contacted by a customer service representative to help walk them though the necessary changes. 1999 Annual Report Receipt of the Annual Report was acknowledged, with no official acceptance until the subscriber survey results are received. Subscriber Survey A copy of the old survey was enclosed in the agenda 15ackets along with a copy of the survey Kathi would like to do over the internet. The commission reviewed the survey and made suggestions for changes/improvements. Kathi understood that the intemet method of doing survey was purely a "trial" and dependent on the number of respondents for any future use of this media. The City Manager had agreed to extend the deadline to May 1. Kathi is now requesting a June 1 completion date be approved. Motion by Ken Henke, seconded by Ruth Graham to instruct Kathi to proceed with the subscriber survey and extend the deadline to June 1, 2000 for the Annual Report completion. Other New Business Dennis requested that the CSO's be used to deliver the Multi-Channel News to him since it is so expensive to mail. REPORTS A. Report of Commissioners No reports. TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION MINUTES MEETING OF MARCH 16, 2000 PAGE 4 C, Report of MediaOne- Kathi reviewed the reports that were included in the agenda packets as well as the information passed out at the meeting. Kathi stated that since the attorneys were still working on the legal details, she could provide copies of the monthly subscriber data to the commission, but it was not to be shared or discussed since the discussion would be part of the public record. "Wide Open West" is an overbuilder who are positioned to begin expanding into this market area. A franchise would be required for them to operate, as they offer essentially the same services as MediaOne. Cable theft was discovered on a major level in Eagan and arrests have been made. The Media One theft squad is actively checking suspected thefts, and generally uncover nine per week, through the 1-800 number and their own investigations. Report of the Cable Attorney The legislature has been active, and both Media One and the Commission' s Cable Attorney have been lobbying at the state capital to prevent the PUC from allowing open access, sometimes referred to as forced access. The PUC glossed over the issue, for now. The franchise fee audit is in process. This will take several months to complete. WOW (Wide open West) is contemplating moving into this market area. They are currently active in Colorado, California, and Texas. When they begin an overbuild, it is with a speed according to market demand. Report of the Special Projects Coordinator The Website is being reviewed by division/department heads and we are still optimistic for the site to be up and running by the end of March, 2000. The site address will be ci.cohmbia-heights.mn.us Motion by Ruth Graham, seconded by Ken Henke, to adjourn the meeting at 9:12 pm. All ayes. Respectfully submitted, Jean Kuehn Secretary Pro-Tem OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS COLUMBIA HEIGHTS TRAFFIC COMMISSION APRIL 3, 2000 KEYES ROOM, MURZYN HALL THESE MINUTES NOT APPROVED ARE The meeting of the Traffic Commission was called to order at 7:02 p.m. by Chair Ed Carlson.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES Motion by Joe Sturdevant, seconded by Joe Goodman, to approve the minutes of March 6, 2000, meeting as presented. Motion passed unanimously. V. OLD BUSINESS - none VI. OTHER OLD BUSINESS-- none VII. NEW BUSINESS A, SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ON THE BLOCK FROM JACKSON STREET TO CENTRAL AVENUE AND 41 ST AVENUE TO 42ND AVENUE Kathy Young, Assistant City Engineer, explained that NEI will retain their current use at 825 41 st Avenue. The proposed development consists of 22 units of rental townhouses at sites A through D and 50 units of senior housing at the northeast comer of the site. Commissioners were sent copies of the site plan with the agenda. Ingress-Egress The site access on the west is similar to the existing access. Access in the southeast comer on 41st Avenue would be just west of Van Buren Street. It would be preferable to have the access across from Van Buren Street, however, the site is not conducive to that. Access in the northeast comer on 42nd Avenue involves relocating the alley to the west, across from Van Buren Street. This improves the existing conditions by moving the access away from Central Avenue. After discussion, motion was made by Joe Goodman, seconded by Joe Sturdevant, to approve the proposed ingress/egress as presented on the site plan located between Jackson Street and Central Avenue, 41 st Avenue to 42nd Avenue. Motion passed unanimously. Parking On street diagonal parking is proposed for Jackson Street, south of 42nd Avenue and 41 st Avenue. On street parking would require extensive reconstruction on one side of each street, including utility relocation. Staff suggests the plan be revised to retain parallel parking on the street and provide additional on-site parking. Considerable discussion was held regarding the parking offof41 st Avenue. Resident Kay Lynn Huff from 4104 Monroe was present and spoke regarding this issue and others. She also cited numerous traffic problems on Monroe from 40th to 41st. She has asked for traffic counts and for neighborhood watch signs to be posted and to date has not received them from the Police Department. Chief Johnson will check into these requests. If traffic and speed counts have not been done, Staff was directed to obtain these and report the information at a future meeting. Chair Carlson stated that it has been attempted to keep the NEI traffic off of 41 st and 42nd as much as possible. Kathy Young stated that parking could be put on the west side of NEI. She also stated that NEI wants "permitted" on-street parking spaces for their students from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. Those parking spaces would be open for evenings, weekends, and holidays. She also commented that the on-street diagonal parking on 41 st Avenue would direct the traffic to the west. However, she felt it was best to retain the parallel parking on 41st and change the site plan to add more parking inside the curb, close to the school. Page 2 April 3, 2000 Various angles (35, 45, etc.) for parking was discussed. Chief Johnson stated he did not support the on-street diagonal parking. Commissioner Stumpf suggested that the parking for NEI along 41st Avenue should be inside the curb, not outside as proposed. Chair Carlson wondered who would pay for those changes. Mr. Jans stated that the city would pay for the changes, and that the proposed angled parking is consistent with the downtown redevelopment plans. He also stated that plans call for the house at 42nd and Jackson to be purchased and moved. Traffic Commission members did not have a problem with the diagonal parking proposed off of Jackson Street. Shirley Barnes stated that NEI requests 500 parking spaces, and these spaces cannot be in the ramp. Motion by Ken Stumpf, seconded by Ed Carlson, to not allow diagonal parking on 41st Avenue as was proposed. Motion passed 4-1. Location 1216 39t~ Avenue 1216 39th Avenue On 39th Ave, East of Polk 3875 Polk St 3904 Polk St REQUEST TO INSTALL YIELD SIGNS ON POLK STREET AT 39TM AVENUE Mr. Matt Henry had requested that yield signs be installed at the intersection of Polk Street and 39th Avenue. The concern is the speed of traffic on Polk Street. Currently, the intersection is uncontrolled. Although Polk Street intersects 39th Avenue at an angle, the visibility at the intersection is good. The Police Department recently obtained speed and volume surveys for Polk Street and 39th Avenue. This information is summarized on the table below.

Mr. Henry was not at the Traffic Commission meeting to address his concerns verbally. Traffic reports indicate there has been one accident per year since 1997 at 39th and Polk. Commission members felt this intersection is wide open and quite visible. Motion by Joe Goodman to table this item until we hear more from Mr. Henry. Motion died due to lack of a second. Commissioner Goodman left the meeting at 8:15 p.m. Motion by Ken Stumpf, seconded by Richard Anderson, to deny the request of Mr. Henry to install yield signs a the intersection of Polk Street and 39th Avenue. Motion passed unanimously. VIII. OTHER NEW BUSINESS - None. IX. REPORTS CITY ENGINEER Columbia Heights School District # 13 and the Traffic Commission has requested a reduced speed school zone on 49th Avenue (CSAH 4) between Monroe Street and Central Avenue. The Anoka County Highway Department has conducted a study of the area and felt a reduced speed school zone would not help with safety in the area. The school and our Police Department do not agree with the county highway department. A letter to Commissioner Kordiak concerning the school speed zone was attached for commissioners' review with the agenda. The letter requests additional consideration of the reduced speed zone from the county. After further discussion, the Traffic Commission agreed to wait for additional information regarding the number of people walking vs. number of cars, as well as a routing plan from the school. Flashing lights (and maintenance costs), crosswalks, and stop signs were also discussed by Commissioner Kordiak. POLICE CHIEF Chief Johnson stated that he had written a letter to Mr. Hill advising him that four Page 4 April 3, 2000 C, of his neighbors had been tagged. Chief Johnson also stated that the driver of a white pickup who had been doing quite a bit of speeding in that area has also been spoken to. COMMISSIONERS Chair Carlson discussed the latest traffic fatality, that of an 83 year old man, which occurred at 40th and University. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Ken Stumpf, seconded by Richard Anderson, to adjourn the meeting at 8:30 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. Respectfully submitted, 1 Secretary Pro Tem Page 5 April 3, 2000
