HaroM Hoium, 4315 5~ Street, asked why the new water meters cannot be installed outside of the house so city
employees don't snoop in residents' homes. Jolly stated the meter is the transmitter, and couM not be
sufficiently insulated for placement outside of the home. He also stated that if residents are not satisfied with
this contractor or city employees, that after contacting the City, they could work with someone of their choice
who is qualified to get this done. Jolly stated we have installed close to 5, 800 remote read water meters to this
point, with only about 200 left to install. Hoium suggested the meters be placed by the water shut off valve.
Jolly stated one selling point of this meter is the privacy issue. Bill Elrite, Finance Director, indicated the
battery lasts for ten years, but the City would start a battery replacement program in eight years. Elrite
explained the way the battery is replaced. Hoium indicated he has a new meter, but it is not a radio read meter.
Jolly stated that we don't want to collect any funds from this penalty, and would prefer all the meters would be
installed. Peterson stated this reading system is working well for residents.
Wyckoff was troubled that older residents may be required to call a plumber for unnecessary related repairs.
She suggested giving these people a grace period, and felt to impose this penalty tonight would be harsh.
Peterson stated residents have already received five or six letters regarding the necessity to call and schedule a
time for the radio read water meter installation. Peterson felt non-compliant residents have been given a
sufficient grace period, and reminded these residents to contact the City offices and staff would be very willing
to work with them. Elrite indicated his intent, if approved, would be to send a notice out the first of June and
another letter the middle of June before the first penalty billing in July. Jolly felt this is necessary to get the
attention of those who have not switched over before the contract runs out and our City work force has to
complete the rest of the installations. He stated it would not be fair to pass this additional cost of installation
on to all tax payers. Elrite stated a few hundred homes were recommended to contact plumbers because they
had no shut off valve or the valves were dysfunctional, and all homes should have a water shut off valve in case
there is ever a water problem. Hunter stated that State Code requires a shut off valve, so this would also bring
them into compliance with code. Jolly stated that older valves may also not be conducive to water flow.
MOTION by Hunter, second by Jolly, to waive the reading of the resolution, there
being ample copies available to the public. Roll call vote: Jolly, yes; Wyckoff, no;
Hunter, yes; Peterson, yes. Motion carried.

W!tEREAS, the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights has determined, that all single and two-unit

#2000-00
Hoium spoke on the need for more curb cuts and sidewalks in the City, for Americans with Disabilities and
children. Jolly asked Kathy Young, Assistant City Engineer, if residents wouM be able to get additionally
requested work done by this contractor. Young indicated this contractor will give any property owner an
estimate for private work they want done. The price for additional work was included in their proposal, and are
available by calling the city offices. Peterson asked what City policy is on adding a handicapped ramp. Young
stated that if a curb is disturbed we are required to add ramps. Hunter questioned how many feet of lineal
sidewalk we have, and how much is left to complete the system. Peterson indicated that putting in a sidewalk is
assessed to the property owner, so many residents don't want to pay for them and, be responsible for shoveling
them in winter. Residents who want a sidewalk can file a petition for placement with the City.

6. PUBLIC HEARINGS
7. ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
A. Other Ordinances and Resolutions
ADDITION: 1. Intent to Bond for Zone 4 Street Rehabilitation Projects.
Kathy Young, Assistant City Engineer, described why we must declare to have the ability to bond for the Zone 4
Street Rehabilitation project, if necessary. Wyckoff questioned how many bonds the City has out now. Elrite
stated presently, there are two; a general improvements bond and a sanitary sewer bond. Elrite stated that this
resolution just keeps the option open, but doesn't mean the City will need to do this. Elrite stated that some
funds for this project will come from the water fund. Wyckoff asked if this has been done before and was the
bond necessary? Elrite stated the Resolution has been passed in previous years, but the need to obtain the
bonds was not necessary. If the need to obtain bonds would be necessary, then it would need to be brought
back to Council before any such action was taken.

Mel Coilova, Building Official, addressed the City Council to answer general questions. He stated there are
not many vacant lots left in town, and if residents have vacant land next to them and they don't want it built on
then they better buy it. Coilova listed construction and renovation items happening in town: the Olive Tree is
about ready to open, Bobby and Steve ~ Auto World (on both sides of Central Avenue) is operating, the Mail is
almost at full capacity, Subway has been redone, a fine dining restaurant is being worked on, Jerusalem Market
is not open, the pet store has moved across the street, and inquiries have been received on the vacated Boston
Market from a fast food company. He stated that in 1992 permits values were $2.32 million and last year permit
values exceeded $20 million dollars. Coilova encouraged people to call if they have legitimate complaints, but
suggested people talk to their neighbors to work out their problems. He stated that we are already in the busy
construction season. Currently, he has eight building plans waiting to be issued.
Jolly stated that the City Council asked Mr. Coilova to attend these meetings more often to keep them abreast of
happenings within the City. Hunter agreed with Coilova, stating that it would be best if neighbors would sit
down and work together to resolve issues.

ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
A. Supersedeas Bond for Leland Stauch Case.
Walt Feb. st, City Manager, indicated the Leland Stauch lawsuit has been settled, and they have been paid
$128,000. The only issue remaining is if we will have to pay the attorney fees. This person has been at City
Hall demanding to get paid. Fehst informed him that we are filing a bond and continuing with the appeal
process. The City needs to file a bond or put this money in escrow. He recommended filing a bond with the
court, at a maximum cost of $6,000 or $7,000.
William Eh'ite, Finance Director, stated the cost was originally $4,300 for the bond and $3,300 for the letter of
credit. The insurance company has now indicated the cost will be lowered by $1,000. Elrite asked that the first
motion by City Council include the maximum cost for the bond.
MOTION by Szurek, second by Jolly to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an
agreement with Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. of Minnesota, Inc. to acquire a supersedeas bond as
required by the court order of May 25, 2000 in relationship to Leland Stauch's attorney fees. At a
cost not to exceed $4,300. All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION by Szurek, second by Jolly to waive the reading of Resolution 2000-49, there being
ample copies available to the public. All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION by Szurek, second by Jolly to adopt Resolution 2000-49, being a resolution
designating official depositories, borrowing authority, and safe deposit access for the City of
Columbia Heights, to authorize borrowing money in the name of the City of Columbia Heights.
All ayes. Motion carried.
MOTION by Szurek, second by Jolly to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a
promissory note with Northeast State Bank for the purpose of establishing a letter of credit as
collateral for a supersedeas bond. All ayes. Motion carried.
B. Parking ramp lease estoppel agreement for Lake State Properties.
Fehst stated on short notice he received a request from Gordon Awsurnb, for the city to sign an estoppel
agreement for a loan closing. The new lender wants the prior agreements null and void. Generally, there has
been a good working relationship involving the parking deck. They have no outstanding obligations with us.
Three years ago we looked at this same agreement and it was agreed to by the City Council. Fehst tried giving a
letter to the financier saying he would get Council approval, but they requested actual City Council approval.
The agreement is the same, but the present financier wants the ability to have more than 30 days to correct any
problems.
Feb. st recommended approval, as this gentleman wants to do improvements to this building. This agreement
would be reviewed by Steve Bubul, Kennedy and Graven, to assure it is essentially the same. City Attorney,
Hoe~' s finn has a conflict of interest in this matter. Bubul commented to Fehst on the short notice regarding
this requested approval. Fehst stated this was because they are refinaneing their loan. The owner plans to use
the funds to do environment improvements in the building, walkway improvements, etc. Fehst stated the
requirements will be the same conditions for use of the parking deck as the old agreement. Fehst stated the last
re~naneing was in July of 1997.
MOTION by Wyckoff, second by Szurek, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to sign an
estoppel agreement for Lake State Properties, upon the approval of Steve Bubul, Kennedy and
Graven, Chartered. All ayes. Motion carried.

two Internet graphics browsers at the Library DATE:5/30/2000 DAT
The Columbia Heights Public Library (CHPL) has participated in an automated circulation syste oka
County Library (ACL) since 1987. The main flame computer is located in Blaine at the Library Support Services
building, and all buildings are connected via T1 lines and flame relays. Access to the databases is available through
dumb terminals. A major upgrade to this system is expected in 2002 as the automation vendor moves to a client-
server environment, which operates with PC's.
As the information field continues to expand, the library' s patrons have needed access to the Intemet. Currently,
the CHPL provides Internet access via the dumb terminals with text only retrievable. Graphics from the Intemet
can only be obtained through use of a PC. The demand by the patrons for graphics access is extremely high.
To meet this demand, Library staff and the Information Services (IS) staff have met with members of the ACL IS
department and devised a way in which to provide two Internet browsers with graphics through the ACL system.
Because the Library accesses both the City's local area network (LAN) and the ACL's wide area network (WAN)
on the same PC's it is essential to coordinate processes between the ACL IS Department and the City's IS
Department. These browsers would be governed by all active CHPL Library Board policies and would require use
of a sign-up sheet for 30-minute increments of time.
The CHPL can order equipment through the County at their contractual prices and through the City's IS
Department. The following would be needed to set up two graphics Internet browsets:
1 .Ordered through ACL:
2 Compaq Deskpro EN 159707-002 processors @ 1,501.59=-

CITY COUNCIL LETTER

ITEM: ELECTRICAL SERVICE FOR GATEWAY PARK
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:
PUBLIC WORKS
CITYMANAGER
Background:
The Gateway Committee is nearing a recommendation for the final design of an entrance monument in
Gateway Park. The design incorporates ground lighting for the sign and for flag poles at the rear of the sign.
Additionally, the park irrigation system will require a power source for the operation of the controller.
Analysis/Conclusions:
Public Works staff requested informal quotes to provide the necessary electric service, with additional
capacity for any future holiday lighting. The location of the meter and panel will be in a locking enclosure on
the north side of the park (near the gas station UST vents). The above ground panel will be placed on a
concrete pad which is surrounded by a wrought iron fence and additional landscaping.
The electrical quotations received are as follows:
Heights Electric: $ 5,750
Aid Electric: $ 6.235
This does not include the fencing or additional planrings for screening, but those material costs should be
minimal with staff installation.
Recommended Motion: Move to accept the quote fxom Heights Electric in the amount not to exceed
$5,750 to provide an electric service to Gateway Park with funding provided by Fund 401-59919-5130; and,
authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a contract for the same.

ITEM: APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION AND AWARD OF
SEAL COATING PROJECT/g)001 (B)
Background:
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:
PUBLIC WORKS
On April 10, 2000, City Council authorized staff to seek bids for seal coating projects. Plans and specifications for seal coating
were advertised for bids in the Focus on May 25, 2000, and in the Construction Bulletin May 19 and May 26, 2000. Three
con~actors requested copies of the bidding documents. Two bids were received and publically read aloud at the June 6, 2000,
bid opening. A copy of the min~ltes is attached.
Analysis/Conclusions:
The low base bid was submitted by Allied Blacktop of Maple Grove, Minnesota, in the mount of $81,888.00. Seal coating costs
are up due to oil prices which have skyrocketed. Last year seal coat emulsion was $1.00 per gallon. This year the bid is $2.40 per
gallon.
Reeommended Motion: Move to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2000-50, there being ample copies available to the
public.
Recommended Motion: Move to approve and adopt Resolution No. 2000- 50 accepting bids and award the 2000 Seal Coating
Project ~0001 (B) to Allied Blacktop of Maple Grove, Minnesota, based upon their low, qualified, respons~le bid in the mount
of $81,888.00 to be appropriated from Fund 415-50001-5130; and, furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter
into an agreement for the same.

~--fil .C~ Community Development APPROVAL
ITEM: Conditional Use Permit BY: Kenneth R. Anderso BY:
specializing in Mexican food at 3800 Central Ave. NE in the RB, Retail Business District.
BackS, round: The applicant is leasing this building for the proposed restaurant use. The
applicant was proposing to open last month, but was informed of the need for a CLIP first.
Analysis: According to Section 9.113(2) of the Zoning Ordinance a CLIP is required if the
proposed use contains a restaurant, caf~, tea room, bar, prepared food outlets subject to Section
9.116(15) and Prepared Food Delivery Establishments as such establishments are defined in
Section 9.103(63). The existing building is legally nonconforming as it does not meet the 15
foot front yard setback requirement. A revised site plan has been requested by staff showing
required changes to the handicapped parking spaces, loading/unloading, etc. The parking lot
meets the minimum number of spaces required. Existing ingress/egress routes will be used. The
applicant must also demonstrate that he is a U.S. citizen or legally authorized to reside and work
in the country prior to issuance of a CLIP.
Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing for the
request on June 6, 2000. They voted unanimously to recommend City Council approval of the
Conditional Use Permit subject to the conditions listed in the recommended motion. Special
concern was focused on maintenance and general cleanup of the property.
Recommended Motion: Move to approve the Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of
the Puerto Vallarto restaurant in the Retail Business Zoning District at 3800 Central Ave. NE,
subject to the following conditions:
1. All required state and local codes, permits, and inspections will be met and in full
compliance;
2. Waste material storage shall be located and screened in a manner consistent with the
Zoning Ordinance;
3. All proposed signage must be submitted on the City prescribed application form and must
fully comply with the Zoning Ordinance;
4. A screening fence shall be maintained in a sage and functional condition, all debris and
weeds removed from the site and the area maintained;
5. A site plan dram to scale shall be submitted for review and approval by staff. This site
plan shall provide at a minimum, the following information: layout of parking lot, access
points, one van accessible and one other handicapped accessible parking space, provisions
for loading/unloading, dumpster enclosure, and snow storage.
6. One van accessible and one other handicap parking space shall be provided as near as
possible to the main entrance to the building. This space and access aisle shall be clearly
marked and signed.
The applicant will verify and provide evidence of legal authorization to reside and work in
the U.S.

ANALYSIS
Case: 2000-0613
Page: 2
Surrounding Property:
The surrounding property to the north, south, and east is zoned RB, Retail Business while the
property to the west is zoned R-3, Multi-Family Residential. The property to the north and east
is used commercially. The adjacent property to the south is a nonconforming residential use, and
the property to the west is also used residentially.
Technical Review:
According to Section 9.113(2) of the Zoning Ordinance, a Conditional Use Permit will be
required if the proposed use contains a restaurant, cafe, tea room, bar, prepared food outlets
subject to Section 9.116(15) and Prepared Food Delivery Establishments as such establishments
are defined in Section 9.103(63). Minimum Yard and Density Requirements are as follows:
· Lot Width shall be at least 50 feet - subject parcel meets this requirement;
· Lot Area shall be at least 6,000 square feet - subject parcel is over 16,000 square feet;
· Front Yard Setback shall be 15 feet - existing structure does not meet this requirement;
· There is no side yard setback requirement;
· Rear Yard Setback shall be 20 feet - existing building meets this requirement;
· The floor area ratio shall not exceed 1.0 - the building has a total square footage of 3,635
square feet, so the property has a floor area ratio of approximately .2 which exceeds this
requirement;
· Need minimum frontage of 40 feet - subject parcel exceeds this requirement.
The existing building is legally non-conforming as it does not meet the 15 foot front yard setback
requirement. Provided the building is not vacant for a period of six months or more, the building
can continue to be used without a variance. Note that the location of the building became non-
conforming when the area was rezoned from CBD, Central Business District to RB, Retail
Business earlier in 1998. The site plan found in the property records file indicates that there are
33 spaces on the site. Note that this plan'does not accurately reflect the parking layout on the
site. I was not able to find a plan showing the actual layout of the site, and one was not
submitted with the application. The applicant notes there are 35 sites marked on the lot. The
attached site plan was modified by the former City Planner for the Amira's application after
visiting the site.
Parking for a restaurant requires at least one (1) space for each three (3) seats based on capacity
design or where there is no design layout, one (1) space for each thirty-five (35) square feet of
gross floor area. The applicaht has provided a design layout showing 98 seats which would
require 33 spaces. Bascd on the 1 space per 35 squarc fcct of floor area used for the public,
approximately 37 spaces are required. This requirement has been lessened as a result of the
seating design. One (1) handicap accessible space is required for every 25 regular spaces. As a
result, two handicap spaces are required, one of which shall be van accessible. This space will
need to be clearly marked and signed as will an eight (8) foot wide access aisle between the two
spaces.
The existing parking layout has 90 degree parking and vehicles can enter and exit utilizing either
access point. The parking lot meets the minimum number of parking spaces required.
Case: 2000-0613
Page: 3
Existing ingress/egress routes will continue to be utilized.
Loading requirements are as follows: A loading berth shall be not less than 12 feet in width, 25
feet in length and 14 feet in height and, for retail sales and service stores at least one berth for
each building having 2,500 - 6,000 square feet. I was not able to determine the location of
loading and unloading on the site. All open off-street parking areas shall provide a bumper curb
of 5-7 inches high around the perimeter of the parking area and a curb of no less than five (5) feet
from a building that has parking around it. The parking lot is surrounded by a combination of
constant perimeter curb and individual bumper curbs which meets the Ordinance requirement.
Solid waste material shall be so located and fenced as to be removed from public view and shall
be kept in an enclosed building or properly contained in a closed container for such purposes.
Currently, dumpsters are located off the southwest comer of the building and they are not
enclosed. Staff will recommend as a condition of approval that an approved enclosure be
provided or enclosed dumpsters are utilized. Where any business is adjacent to a residential use,
that business shall provide screening along the boundary of the residential property. Screening
can be accomplished by a privacy fence that is not less than six feet high and not less than 50%
opaque, or it can be accomplished by providing plantings along the residential property.
Currently there is a privacy fence along the property lines abutting a residential use/district.
However, there have been issues in the past regarding the condition of this fence. The site plan
does not indicate any areas for snow storage. The Zoning Ordinance does not contain specific
size or area requirements for snow storage. It does not appear that there is much room on the site
for snow storage.
Because of the lack of information on loading and unloading and the parking lot will need to be
modified slightly, staff will recommend as a condition of approval that the applicant work with
an architect or engineer hnd submit a site plan illustrating the actual layout of the parking lot,
taking into consideration the necessary changes. This plan should provide information on the
following: layout of parking lot; access points; van accessible parking spaces; provisions for
loading/unloading; dumpster enclosure; and snow storage.
The applicant must also demonstrate that he is a U.S. citizen or legally authorized to reside in the
country prior to issuance of the CUP.
Signage will be changed withih the outside boundaries of the existing fleestanding sigh which
complies iwth the ordinance requirements. A temporary sign permit has been submitted for the
grand opening if the CUP is approved.
Compliance with City Comprehensive Plan:
The City Comprehensive Plan designates this area for fixture Commercial development. One
goal of the Land Use and Redevelopmerit Plan is to improve the commercial viability of the
Central Avenue corridor while protecting nearby residential neighborhoods, and the Plan
promotes the rehabilitation of existing development land in the City. The proposal will not
negatively impact any nearby residential areas and will provide an appropriate reuse of an
Case: 2000-0613
Page: 4
existing building, so the proposal is consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan.
Summary:
The positive aspects of this proposal are as follows:
1. The proposal is consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan.
2. Approval of the Conditional Use Permit will allow for an appropriate reuse of the
building.
The negative aspects of this proposal are as follows:
1. There do not appear to be any negative aspects to the proposal.
CONCLUSION
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit for a Mexican style restaurant in the
RB, Retail Business District at 3800 Central Avenue, subject to the conditions listed in the
recommended motion.
Recommended Motion:
Move to recommend City Council approval of the Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation
of a restaurant in the Retail Business Zoning District at 3800 Central Avenue, subject to the
following conditions:
1. All required state and local codes, permits, licenses and inspections will be met and in
full compliance.
2. Waste material storage shall be located and screened in a manner consistent with the
Zoning Ordinance.
3. All proposed signage must be submitted on the City prescribed application form and must
fully comply with the Zoning Ordinance.
4. The screening fence shall be maintained in a safe and functional condition.
5. A site plan drawn to scale shall be submitted for review and approval by staff. This site
plan shall provide at a minimum, the following information: layout of parking lot; access
points; one van accessible and one other handicapped accessible parking space;
provisions for loading/unloading; dumpster enclosure; and snow storage.
6. One van accessible and one other handicap parking space shall be provided as near as
possible to the main entrance to the building. This space and access aisle shall be clearly
marked and signed.
7. The applicant will verify and provide evidence of legal authorization to reside and work
within the U.S.'

CITY COUNCIL LETTER
Meeting of: June 12, 2000
ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER
Community Development APPROVAL
Issue Statement: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to open a Christian-based,
Child Daycare for 20 -30 children ages infant to pre-school in a 1,352 square foot space in the
lower level of the church facility at 4101 Washington St. NE. in the R-2, Residential District.
Backl~round: The facility is proposed to meet the current shortage of daycare facilities in this
area and provide a service to the community.
Analysis: According to Section 9.108(4) of the Columbia Heights Zoning Ordinance, a
Conditional Use Permit is required for a "Day nursery, provided not less than 75 Square feet of
outside play space per pupil is provided and said space is fenced." If the child population will
be 30, the required outside play space will be 2,250 sq. feet. A site plan was provided showing
two options for play area. The applicant will comply with this requirement. There will be a total
of one (1) classroom, and two offices and the facility will hold approximately 20-30 kids, so a
total of four (4) parking spaces are required. It appears that there is enough room for two,
possibly three, parking spaces along 41st Ave. for parents to drop off and pick up their children.
These spaces shall be clearly marked and identified for use as temporary parking for child drop
off and pick up. One letter in opposition to the request was received.
Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public Heating for the
request on June 6, 2000. They voted unanimously to recommend City Council approval of the
Conditional Use Permit subject to the conditions listed in the recommended motion.
Recommended Motion: Move to approve the Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of
St. Matthew's Lutheran Church Child Care at 4101 Washington Street, subject to the following
conditions:
1. All required state and local codes, permits, licenses and inspections will be met and in full
compliance.
2. All pwposed signage must be submitted on the City prescribed application form and must
fully comply with the Zoning Ordinance.
3. An outdoor play space not less than 2,250 sq. feet shall be pwvided and fenced, and
issuance of the CUP will require a revised site plan showing the same.
4. The traffic parking pattern shall be on 41st Avenue and be clearly marked and signed
subject to review and approval of the Police Chief (or Traffic Commission).
5. The site plan shall be amended to provide temporary parking spaces for the drop off and
pick up of children. These spaces shall be clearly marked and identified.

ANALYSIS
Surrounding Property:
The surrounding property to the north, South, east and west is zoned R-2, One and Two Family
Residential District and is used residentially. Note that the church owns other property adjacent
to this site for additional parking.
Technical Review:
According to Section 9.108(4) of the Columbia Heights Zoning Ordinance, a Conditional Use
Permit is required for a "Day nursery, provided not less than 75 Square feet of outside play space
per pupil is provided and said space is fenced." The Minimum Yard requirements are listed
below.
No structural building shall exceed three stories or 3 5 feet which ever is the lesser in
height. The CUP request does not impact this provision.
A side yard abutting on a street shall not be less than 10 feet in width. All of this property
is addressed on Washington Street, by definition of front yard abuts 41't Avenue. The
closest point of the building to 41'~ Avenue is 5.3 feet.
Lot width. The lot width shall be 60 feet. Subject parcel lot width is 129.2 feet which
greatly exceeds this requirement. The front yard shall be 25 feet. The subject parcel does
not meet this requirement in the front yard at 5.3 feet.
The Zoning Ordinance requires that the Day Nursery provide not less than 75 sq. feet of outside
play space per pupil and that said space must be fenced. With 20 students the required open
space must be I500 sq. feet. If the child population increases to 30, the required outside play
space would be 2250 sq. feet. The church council president has verbally indicated that sufficient
space is available in grassed areas onsite to provide the required outdoor play space. As a
condition of approval staff will request a site plan drawn to scale showing the proposed outdoor
play space.
The Zoning Ordinance does not specifically address parking requirements for a day care, so
parking requirements for the most similar use need to be applied which appears to be an
elementary school. An elementary school requires at least one parking space for each classroom,
plus one additional space for each 300 student capacity. There will be a total of one (1)
classroom, and two offices and the facility will hold approximately 20-30 kids, so a total of four
(4) parking spaces are required.
Much of the traffic generated by this facility will be parents driving in and parking temporarily to
drop off and pick up their children. Because of this, staff will recommend as a condition of
approval that the site plan be amended to accommodate space next to the sidewalk along the
building on 41't Avenue for temporary parking drop off and pick up. It appears that there is

the taffic, noise, recreation and other aspects must be considered in a neighborhood setting: ~The
proposal is consistent with the City Compreh.ensive Plan.
Summary:
The positive aspects of this proposal are as follows:
1. The proposal is consistent With the City Comprehensive Plan and minimum requirements
'of the Zoning Ordinance are being met.
2. The addition of a day care center in Columbia Heights will provide. a valuable service to
the area.
. .The negative aspects of this proposalare as follows:
1. : Thepr0posed' .day care center will increase noise, traffic and parking demand in the area.
2. Outdoor play space and fencing will be necessary and the site is eurrenfiy limited in green,
open space area.
.. CONCLUSION
Staff Recomme.d_a__aon: ;
Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit to allow St. Matthew Lutheran Church
operating Child Care in the R.-Z District, subject to the conditions listed in the recommended
motion.

request on June 6, 2000. They voted unanimously to recommend City Council approval of the
variance as listed in the recommended motion.

BACKGROUND
Explanation o/Request: ..
The appUcant requests a sign variance and site plan review of decorative screening and canopy
from the Dairy Queen building south of the property line and around exterior mechanical
equipment. The applicant is currently in the process ofupgrading the former Dairy Queen site by
modernizing and upgrading the property both functionally and aesthetically. The variance is
requested to allow a rooi~op and a projecting sign for historic renovation purposes.
Case History:
There are two previous Planning and Zoning cases for this site. Case number 8711-88 was a
request for a sign variance which was denied. Case number 8910-43 was a request for a
Case:2000-0615
Page: 2
conditional use permit which was approved.
ANALYSlS
Surfouting Property:
The surrounding property on the north, south, east and west is zoned CBD, Central Business
District and is used for commercial purposes. Property to the east is used for institutional
purposes as a church.
Technical Review:
According to Section 9.117A (4) (h). of the Sign Section of the Zoning Ordinance "...the
following signs are specifically prohibited: (h) Any roof sign". The same section of the Sign
Ordinance further states as follows: (i) h. projecting sign which extends more than eighteen (18)
inches" from the building or structure to which it is attached, other than canopy or marquee
signs, or which is larger than three feet (3 ') in vertical height" are also prohibited. The applicant is
proposing to install a roof sign of approximately 59.9 square feet. The sign will be projecting nine
feet from the building facade and is estimated to extend 5.5 feet into the Central Avenue right of
way. The sign will be a minimum of 9.5 feet above grade and a maximum of 19 feet above grade.
Including wall signs showing DQ posters, the total proposed signage will be 134.15 square feet.
The maximum area mount of signage allowed per the ordinance reference section 9.117 A (9),
"signs in CBD Districts" (cXi) "Total sign area shall not exceed two (2) square feet for .each
building or structure." This building is approximately 19.2 feet long fronting on Central Avenue
N.E. Therefore, the total wall signage allowed is 38.4 square feet. The total proposed signage
onsite exceeds the maximum allowed by 95.75 square feet.
The ordinance further restricts signs and proMbits ~ese projecting signs which extend more than
18 inches from the building to which is attached. Proposed roof sign extends approximately 9 feet
from the building facade. Therefore, due to the significant amount of variance requested, staff is
recommending Planning and Zoning Commission deny the signs as they are specifically prohibited
by the Zoning Ordinance. Please refer to the memorandum from the applicant dated May 18,
2000 which explains the rational for trying to create an excellent example of"new Dairy Queen
interior and exterior image design elements with the historically accurate representation of Dairy
Regarding the site plan, this proposal includes the construction of a pergola and canopy which
would extend between the Dairy Queen south to and over the property line shared with the
Heights Theater. It is important to know that, at the current time, both properties share the same
ownership. The survey dimensions of the Dairy Queen site are 39.65 feet of frontage on Central
Avenue by 128 feet deep. The proposed pergola and canopy appear to be extending over the
Dairy Queen parking lot by approximately 1.5 feet. Staff is recommending the canopy and
pergola be reduced in size to insure all portions of both structures remain on property of the Dairy
Queen building. The area between both buildings is proposed to be used for outdoor seating and
Ca~: 2000-0615
Page: 3
will offer a combination of shad~cl areas and areas open to the sun in a aesthetically pleasing,
pedestrian odentate~l environment. The pergola appears to be located approximately one foot
from the property line of Central Avenue N.E. The proposed structure is to be 7 feet 4 inches
with 2 two by sixes placed on top. The pergola could be interpreted to be a fence which is
defined as "any partition, structure, wall or gate erected as a dividing marker, barrier or enclosure
of a permanent nature" in Section 6.401' (2) of the Zoning Ordinance. Those over six and one
half feet require a spc,~ial fence permit to be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission
and City Council. Another interpretation could be to consider the pergola and canopy as separate
accessory structures and as such, the fence restrictions would not apply. As such, it must be
located at least one foot from the property line and must be attached to the existing building or
cannot be located within six feet of the principal structure. The third option is to consider the
pergola as a "decorative land feature" which is a permitted accessory use in the CBD District. It
is the Zoning Administrators opinion the pergola and adjacent canopy both qualify for decorative
land features for the Dairy Queen facility. provided they are located entirely within the confines of
the same parcel. In recommending a variance, it shall be found by reasons of narrowness,
shallowness, or shape of the lot or whereby reason or location or water conditions the owner of
such lot would have an undue hardship in using his lot in the manner customary and legally
permissible within the rules of the Zoning District.
The Dairy Queen building is approximately 722 square feet. Calculating required parking at one
space for each 35 square feet of gross floor area. As a result, the Dairy Queen property is
required to maintain approximately 20 parking spaces. A lot to the east of the existing building
has space for approximately 20 parking spaces.
Compliance with City Comprehensive Plan:
The City Comprehensive Plan designated this area for future commercial development. One goal
of the Land Use and Redevelopment Plan is to improve the commercial viability of the Cenixal
Avenue corridor while protecting nearby residential neighborhoods, and the plan promotes
redevelopment of existing land in the City. The proposal will not negatively impact any nearby
residential areas and will provide an appropriate reuse of an existing, restaurant facility. The
proposal is consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan.
Summary:
Positive aspects of this propo,s~l are as follows:
The proposals consists of what the City Comprehensive Plan states.
The Dairy Queen will provide an appropriate, complimentary use of commercial
space adjacent to an increasing attractive destination stop, the Heights Theater.
The proposal will essentially be efforts of the property owners to enhance the
historical character and significance of the structure.
Negative aspects of this proposal are as follows:
Case:2000-0615
Page: 4
1.
2.
The request greatly violates the provision which prohibits roof signs in all districts.
It,also greatly exceeds the allowable square footage for signs as is currently
proposed.
This request would establish an undesirable precedent for roof signs and projecting signs
extending beyond 18 inches from the building or structure to which it is attached.
CONCLUSION
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends denial of the variance to allow the installation of a projecting, roof top sign at
the Dairy Queen building at 3959 Cemral Avenue N.E because a hardship has not been
established.
Recommended Motion:
Move to recommend the Planning and Zoning Commission deny the variance request to allow the
projecting roofiop sign at the Dairy Queen in the CBD, Central Business District at 3959 Central
Avenue N.E. as a hardship has not been established.

TH EATER
3951 CENTRAL AVENUE NE COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MN 55,42
MBy 18, 2000
Over the past year, the Heights Theater has received high profile recognition on television,
radio and in the press. Awarded Best Renovation by ]Vflnn~lpOlls=St. Patti ]V~plz~e for 1999, and
Best Theater Salvage by City Pages, the Heights Theater has also been featured by ~finn~ota
Monthly, Star- Tn~mne, Pioneer Press, WCCO Television and our own local Northeaster News. As
the Heights Theater Building moves towards National Register recognition, it seems natural to lace
the Daixy Queen and Heights Theater properties together through landscaping, outdoor seating and
signage. My partner Tom Letness and I feel th~ with the ourrent trends and civic development in our
neighborhood, and the exciting success, and high profile of the theater, an unusual opporttmity has
arisen at the start of the Theaters 75th anniversary year, to present an excellent example of new Dairy
Queen exterior and interior image design elements with a historically accurale representation of
Dairy Queen and Heights Theater signage.
As it is our gonl to make thc Heights Theater the premiere cinema in the Twin Cities, so is it
also our goal to make the Dairy Queen part of the "experien~' of the destination. A place where you
can be proud to take your grandpar~ or your gnmdclxildren. A place where old fiiends and new
will remember fondly for years to come, and a plncc where families have been meeting in Columbia
Heights for 75 years, and actually at the Dairy Queen since April 1951. We feel it is important to
nurutrc the feeling of pleasant ho. mey nostalgia, in an environment that is ~esh and new and modern.
As Dairy Queen operators with over 16 years of cxperience, and in good standing with Inter-
national Dairy Queen, we rcspect~ffiy request to commission and erect, by licensed sign manufac-
turer, a blue enamel blade sign with exposed neon in the original design, for the Dairy Queen Lim;
ited Store located at 3959 Central Avenue NE, and an upright flag sign with exposed neon spelling
~Thc HEIGHTS' on the Heights Theater Building at 3951 Central Avenue NE. We also request to
build decorative gatewhy screens adjacent to and framing the Heights Theater Building to the north
and south parallel to Central Avenue on theater property as well as construction of a Pergola on the
Plaza and fenced enclosure for mechanical, between the Dairy Queen and ThenteL
"Today we are the shapers of the world of tomorrow."

ITEM: Variance BY: Kenneth R. Ander~BY:
NO: Case# 2000-0616, 3951 Central Ave. DATE: June 9, 2000 ~
Issue Statement: The applicant requests a variance to allow a rooft6p, projecting sign for
historic renovation purposes at the Heights Theater, 3951 Central Ave. NE., in the Central
Business Zoning District (CBD).
Background: The applicant is proposing to install a projecting sign which is 3 feet 4 inches
wide by approximately 16 feet 2 inches tall and affixed to the front facade of the Heights Theater
building. Please refer to the memorandum fi'om the applicant dated May 18, 2000 which
explains the "high profile recognition on television, radio and in the press." The owners are
also seeking recognition of the building on the National Historic Register. They wish to present
an historically accurate representation of the Heights Theater sign and building exterior. The
effort to create a historic renovation of this facility and the adjacent Dairy Queen is the primary
reason for the variance request.
Analysis: According to Section 9.117A (4) (h) of the Sign Section of the Zoning Ordinance
"...the following signs are specifically prohibited: (h) Any roof sign". The same section of the
Sign Ordinance further states as follows: (i) A projecting sign which extends more than eighteen
(18) inches" from the building or structure to which it is attached, other than canopy or marquee
signs, or which is larger than three feet (3') in vertical height" are also prohibited. In addition,
subsection (c)(ii) states "the maximum height of a sign, including its structures shall not exceed
twenty (20) feet above the grade". The sign mounting detail has not been included with the plans
that have been submitted to staff. The signs exceed the ordinance maximum height of twenty
feet by 13.5 feet. The sign will clearly extend more than 18 inches from the building or structure
to which it is attached and it exceeds the maximum of three feet in vertical height by 13 feet 2
inches.
Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing for the
request on June 6, 2000. They voted unanimously to recommend City Council approval of the
variance as listed in the recommended motion.
Recommended Motion: Move to approve the variance request to allow a 16 foot 2 inch
by 3 foot 4 inch projecting roof sign at the Heights Theater in the CBD, Central Business
District, at 3951 Central Avenue NE based upon the hardship with regard to historic preservation
of the building.

Notice of Rntes for Programming Services and Equipment Effective January, 2000 - .~
Notice of rates for proglmmning services and equipment effective January 1, 2000, were enclosed in the agenda
packets. It was noted that the rate for basic service went down, and the rate for preferred service went up.
It was noted that'th~'~citY received numerous calls regarding the latest increase in rates. Subscribers that called
feel cable service is not affordable any longer and that because there is no real competition out there, they are
beins over chars,ed for the product
MediaOne Offers Digital Telephon· Service
Beginning in December, 1999, MediaOne now offers digital telephone services includ{ng 15 popular calling
features. Dc-roiled information and pri. cing was enclosed in the agenda packet for review.
Receipt of 4~ Quarter Franchise Fee ..
A copy of the franchise fees of $27,447.16 for 4~' quarter 1999 were enclosed in the packets. There was an
adjustment made to-the 4~ quarter check due to an overpayment from 3~ quarter. Due to a number of
corrections, adjustments, and irregularities noted by a number of franchises, it was reCommended we perform an
audit on the franchise fees. These fees have not been audited since 1990. Bemick and Lifson (our attorneys)
have entered into an agreement on our behalf with Aspund& Skokan to perform the audit for the year 1999.
This audit should begin soon. As other cities and Commissions served by MediaOne will be participating, the
costs, will be shared.
Notice of Semi Annual Proof of Performance Testing in February
Notice was given January 10, 2000, of the semi-annual proof of performance testing that will be done in

*Linda reported that there will be two openings on the commission, so if anyone knows of an interested party,
have them contact the Deputy City Clerk for an application. Ruth Graham does not wish to be re-appointed, and
lulienne Wyckoff (Counofl Representative) will become a non-voting Council liaison to the Commission, due to
an Ordinance change recently passed by the City Council.
*Linda reported that the city council recently passed a moratorium on Antennas being constructed in Columbia
Heights. This moratorium was established to alloW the Planning and Zoning Commission to establish a policy
regarding placement of towers and antennas in our city. Ken Henke felt strongly that the Telecommunications
Commission should be .reviewing these requests in addition to the P & Z Commission. Once a policy is
established, the plan will be submitted to the Telecommunications Commission for review. Steve cautioned the__~-~
commission on the legal ramifications of denying placement of these antennas. 47 U.S.C. § 332 (c) (7) addresses
this matter and the lim__itations cities have.
Linda stated that it may be necessary to review exactly what the role of the Telecommunications Commission is.
What areas fall into the resporm'oility of this commission versus the responsibilities of other commissions.
*Reuben asked for information on the infra red cameras that were purchased by the Fire Department. He is
concerned with the radio frequency that is used to transmit the picture to a off site display monitor. Has the city
checked into the licensing of the radio frequency for this equipment. He was interested in a demonstration.
Linda indicated that it was demonsWated at a recent council meeting. He should contact Jean Kuelm to view the
tape, if interested.

Draft Zoning Ordinance Regarding Telecommunication Towers/Antennas
This ordinance is being drafted to provide for the installation of telecOmmuniCation towers and antennae ma'
manner that balances the need for such facilities with the potential adverse impacts on public health, safety, ~d.. ,:i:.
welfare. The provisions of this section are intended to encourage the co-lOCation of facilities in order to "~-'",~ =~."
minimize thc number of towers needed to serve the community.
lean explained that while this is really a zoning issue to be addressed by the Planning and Zoning Commission,,
the City is seeking input on any technical issues that should be included, or changed in the Ordinance. Reuben
stated that he would like to Table Part 3 (Private Antennae and Towers) until he has time to check with others in
the area, especially the ham radio operators. He claims there are about 75 ham operators in the area that could be
affected by this. He also feels the "shall not exceed 60 feet height" mentioned in the ordinance is too restrictive.
He thinks 75 fl would be better. The need for a clear sil~al, above the tree line, is imperative. Reuben would
like to see ham operators excluded from the moratorium and from the requirements listed in the Draft Ordinance.
The commission members also felt that maybe the restrictions for commercial and private residential towers,
antennaes, or dishes need to be separate issues. Steve Guzzetta, our legal counsel, also cautioned that there are
already regulations established by the FCC and PUC that address such issues, and that the city may be limited as
to what they can actually enforce. There are many regulations regarding ham operators that prohibit cities from
denying them access to operate. Steve warned against rushing through this and passing something that could
potentially lead to a lawsuit. He felt a clear definition of the terms antennae, towers, and dishes needed to be
established. He thinks someone with more knowledge in this subject area should be reviewing or writing this
ordinance.
Dan Swee also had a concern with Section 4.e. restricting the size to 200 sq. ft. He felt that should be increased
slightly. After further discussion, the commission made the following motions:
Motion by ~ob, seconded by Brad to recommend the City obtain legal counsel knowledgeable in the
telecommunications field, and the regulations already in place, to help u~ write an ordinance that would provide
guidance or address additional installations of towers, antennaes, and dishes..4ll ayes.
Motion by Rueben, seconded by Dan Swee to recommend the extension of the moratorium for a period of at least
60 days for .commercial installations of towers, antennaes, or dishes..411 ayes.

Attached is the business license agenda for the June 6, 2000 City Council meeting.
The applications for Contractors are new applicants and are recommended for approval.
The application for a license to sell 3.2 beer on sale in Huset Park by the Columbia
Heights Lions Club during the Jamboree, June 21-25, 2000, has been recommended for
approval by the Police Department contingent upon the Lions Club providing double
fencing around the area to prevent the passing of beer outside the area. Thomas
Stevens, President of the Lions Club, has submitted a written request to have the
license fees of $100 per day, the $500 application fee, and the $500 clean-up fee all
waived. Please refer to his written request.
At the top of the license agenda you will notice a phrase stating '*Signed Waiver Form

ITEM: Emergency Ordinance No. 1415 BY: Kenneth R. Anderson~ BY:
NO: DATE: June 12, 2000 '~ ~
Issue Statement: Consideration of Emergency Ordinance 1415, which is an ordinance of the Columbia Heights
City Council imposing an extension to July 1, 2000 of the moratorium on the change in use of property within
the business zoning districts in the City of Columbia Heights.
Background: During the work session on February 7, 2000, the Columbia Heights City Council expressed
concerns about recent development trends in the City, particularly in downtown Columbia Heights. The
possibility of a moratorium was discussed. On February 14, 2000, the City Council adopted Resolution 2000-12
imposing a 120 day moratorium on the change in use of property within business commercial zoning districts.
The City Attorney has since determined that moratoriums should be established by ordinance. Given the
moratorium is scheduled to expire June 13, 2000, an Emergency Ordinance will need to be adopted to extend the
moratorium to the end of the month.
AnaJysis: The proposed length of the moratorium is to be extended from June 13, 2000 to July 1, 2000. This
will allow additional time to submit the Comprehensive Plan for formal review and approval of the Metropolitan
Council pending discussion of the surface water management plan element at the Six Cities Watershed
Management Organization meeting of June 15, 2000. The proposed moratorium will impact all business districts
in the City which includes the LB Limited Business District, the CBD Central Business District, the RB Retail
Business District, and the GB General Business District (see attached zoning map). Also, the language is drafted
so that any change in use will not be allowed while the moratorium is in effect. Change in use shall be
interpreted to mean any occupant change from the time of adoption of this Ordinance which includes, but is not
limited to, activities such as a change in tenant, redevelopment of property, or new development. Activities
affected by this moratorium include anything requiring action by the Planning and Zoning Commission, building
permits for work involving structural changes, and change in tenant or owner-occupant of a property. However,
it does not include building permits for maintenance issues such as roofs and/or siding. Also, formal
applications submitted for Planning and Zoning Commission action prior to the date of adoption of this
Ordinance will not be impacted by the moratorium.
Recommendation: Should the City Council deem it necessary to extend the moratorium in an effort to protect
the health, safety, and welfare of the public, staff recommends that the following motions be made.
Recommended Motions:
Move to waive the reading of Emergency Ordinance 1415, there being ample copies available to the public.
Move to adopt Emergency Ordinance 1415, being an Ordinance of the Columbia Heights City Council imposing
a an extension to July 1, 2000 of the moratorium on the change in use of property within the business districts in
the City of Columbia Heights.

use.
ANALYSIS
Surrounding Property:
The surrounding property on the north, south, and west is zoned RB, Retail Business and is used
commercially. The property to the east is zoned R-2, Single and Two Family Residential and is
used residentially.
Technical Review:
According to Section 9.113(2) of the Zoning Ordinance, a Conditional Use Permit will be
required if the proposed use contains a restaurant, cafe, tea room, bar, prepared food outlets
subject to Section 9.116(15) and Prepared Food Delivery Establishments as such establishments
are defined in Section 9.103(63).
The applicant is not proposing any physical changes to the site, or exterior structural changes to
the building. However, there will be a kitchen equipment, sinks, shelving, refrigerator, exhaust
hood, display case and counter installed inside the building. They also plan to modify the double
door entry and construct a unisex bathroom that will be accessible to the disabled. A seating area
will be included with nine tables of four chairs each for total seating for 36 persons. These
improvements are subject to review and approval by the Building Official, Fire Department, and
Anoka County Health Department.
Minimum Yard and Density Requirements are as follows:
· Lot Width shall be at least 50 feet - subject parcel is 135 feet wide;
· Lot Area shall be at least 6,000 square feet - subject parcel is 33,075 square feet;
· Front Yard Setback shall be 15 feet - existing structure meets this requirement;
· There shall be at least one 10 foot side yard, the other side yard can be zero feet - the
existing building meets this requirement;
· Rear Yard Setback shall be 30 feet - existing building setback is 15 feet which is a legal,
nonconfoming use;
· The floor area ratio shall not exceed 1.0 - the property has a floor area ratio of
approximately .036 which meets this requirement;
· Need minimum frontage of 40 feet - subject parcel has 241 feet of frontage along Central
Avenue.
Parking requirements for a restaurant are at least one space for each three seats based on capacity
design. According to the floor plan, there are 36 seats in the restaurant which requires 12 paxking
spaces. The site plan indicates that there are 38 parking spaces on-site, two of which are
handicap-accessible. Note that the existing parking lot meets the parking demand experienced by
the current tenants. The minimum requirements of the Zoning Ordinance cannot be determined
based upon the information provided by the applicant for the floor plan layout of the site. Staff
will require as a condition of approval that a revised floor plan for the building be provided prior
to the issuance of a building permit.
Ca~: 2000-0612

Solid waste material is required to be so located and fenced as to be removed from public view
and shall be kept in an enclosed building or properly contained in a closed container for such
purposes.
Another screening requirement is that when any business is adjacent to a residential use, that
business shall provide screening along the boundary of the residential property. Screening can
be accomplished by a privacy fence that is not less than 50% opaque, or it can be accomplished
by providing planrings along the residential property. Staff will recommend as a condition of
approval that screening comply with the ordinance requirements.
Staff has not seen any information pertaining to signage. Note that the current building does not
comply with the signage section of the City Code as there is no address for the Jerusalem Market.
Staff will recommend as a condition of approval that the address and other signs comply with the
City Code.
Compliance with City Comprehensive Plan:
The City Comprehensive Plan designates this area for future Commercial development. One
goal of the Land Use and Redevelopment Plan is to improve the commercial viability of the
Central Avenue corridor while protecting nearby residential neighborhoods, and the Plan
promotes the rehabilitation of existing development land in the City. The proposal will not
negatively impact any nearby residential areas and will provide an appropriate reuse of an
existing, vacant tenant space in the building, so the proposal is consistent with the City
Comprehensive Plan.
Summary:
The positive aspects of this proposal are as follows:
1. The proposal is cbusistent with the City Comprehensive Plan.
2. Cairo Grill will provide an appropriate rouse of the tenant space in the building.
The negative aspects of this proposal are as follows:
1. There do not appear to be any negative aspects to this proposal provided the applicant
complies with the recommended conditions.
CONCLUSION
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of the Cairo
Grill in the Retail Business Zoning District at 4923 Central Avenue N'E, subject to the conditions
listed in the recommended motion.
Recommended Motion:
Move to recommend City Council approval of the Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation
of the Cairo Grill in the Retail Business Zoning District at 4923 Central Avenue NE, subject to
the following conditions:

MEMO
Date: June 7, 2000
To: Walt Fehst, City Manager
Mayor and City Council
From: Mel Coilova, BUilding Official
On this date I spoke to both the owner of Jerusalem Market and the Mechanical Contractor
employed to repair the roof top units at the building. The Contractor has been given the
authorization to repair all units that are noisy and has already completed repairs to the noisy unit
addressed at the P&Z Meeting on June 6,2000. I will be meeting with the contractor today to
personally listen to all the units. By the way, the noisy one was an existing unit.
I have also spoken to the general contractor and asked him to please close the rear doors during
construction even though, by ordinance he is allowed to work on the facility from 7AM to
10PM.
Also the building on 40th and Central owned by Dan Kordiak is in violation of the moratorium. A
CD- Pager business has taken a vacant space at the west end on 40a' Avenue.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Motion by Bill Antzaras, seconded by Janis Larson, to approve the minutes of the January 20, 2000, meeting as
presented. Motion passed unanimously.
CORRESPONDENCE
President Synowczynski briefly advised commission members of the letter she wrote to the Mayor, City
Council, and City Manager on April 5, 2000, regarding the issue of the management of the Police Department
as per action taken by the Charter Commission at their January 20, 2000, meeting. There will be nothing further
until we receive a response from the City Council.
Synowczynski referred to a ruppointment letter from the Judge reappointing Bill Antzans with a term
expiration of January 25, 2004.
The Recording Secretary reported that the following correspondence had been received or sent since the January
meeting:
· On March 8, the comparison of statutory vs. charter cities was sent to all commission members
by the Recording Secretary
· The reappointment of Bill Antnns was confirmed by the Chief Judge in early April
· A letter dated April 21' was sent to the Chief Judge with Mr. Antzaras' signed oath
· A letter from President Synowczynski dated April 59 to Mayor and Council and City Manager
regarding the Police Department issue
· A letter dated April 28~ was received from Bruce Magnuson resigning his position as a Charter
Commission member.
OLD BUSINESS
Stat~ts of Councilmembers Voting On P4mr~is/Con/niasions
Synowczynski stated the matter of Councilmembers voting on Boards and Commissions has been changed so
they are now only liaisons. The only question remsining is CounciLraembers on the Economic Development
Authority (EDA). The City Council wishes to keep the EDA with more Council control. She agreed because of
all the dealings with the Federal government and funding. Hoe~ indicated the EDA is at the maximum number
of members now. Ramsdell recommended leaving the EDA as is.
Status of Charter Cornmi-~sion Membership
Bill Antzaras has been reappointed to the Charter Commission and his oath of office forwarded to the Chief
Judge. Bruce Magnuson has resigned because he has a conflict on the Charter Commission meeting night. A
letter of appreciation will be sent to Bruce Magnuson for his years of service. We have thirteen members at the
current time. Janis Larson, whose term expires May of 2000, would like to be reappointed. Synowczynski
stated there is currently one resident is being considered for appointment. Brian Peterson stated his term expires
in October, and he does not anticipate extending the appointment.
NEW BUSINESS
Amendment to Special Assessmerits Section
Jim Hoe~ brought forward a question from staff regarding changing the Charter to reflect Chapter 429, Special
Assessments. When the cuxrent language was put into the City Charter, it was the same as the State Statute, but
when the State Statute changed the City Charter did not. Hoefl stated it would be easier to match the statue, as
those are the requirements that must be fulfilled. He indicated all that is necessary is a reference in the City
Charter that special assessments will be made pursuant to Chapter 429 as amended, or to amend the City
Charter to read as the same as the statute does.
Hoe~ indicated a Home Rule City can set assessments under their charter. Synowczynski requested he bring
the proposed language to the next meeting. She also requested Commissioners have copies of this State Statute
to compare to the City Charter at the next meeting.
Synowczynski referenced discussion at the last meeting regarding franchises and questioned if that is also
overridden by the State Statute? Hoefl will research this for the next meeting also.
Review of the Last Half of the City Charter
At the last meeting, the President asked each member to start reviewing the Charter, starting with Chapter 6, and
to bring in any proposed changes to this meeting.
Synowczynski stated that nothing has been changed in Chapter #6 since 1984 regarding powers of the City
Manager. She questioned if there is a law to follow regarding 53B, to appoint and except as her,in provided,
remove the city clerk, all heads of departments, and all subordinate officers and employees in the deparlrnents,
all appointments to be upon merit and illness alone? Hoefi stated that all the charter should do is indicate the
city manager has authority to hire and terminate department heads and staff. There are laws established
regarding the hiring/termination/veterans status, etc. and it is not necessary to list these in the charter, but only
to state that it must be the city manager's responsibility, not that of Council or other staff. Ramsdell asked if
Council can override a t~.i,ination? Hoefi stated they cannot, as they delegate that authority to the city
manager. They have authority over the city manager if they disagree with his decisions.
Ramsdell referred to S.c. 53 and asked if the city manager is over the police department. Hoefi stated that the
police department is exempt from the city manager' s control and is only under control of the Mayor. Ramsdell
indicated this would mean the organizational chart is incorrect
Synowczynski questioned section 56, and why there is a $3,000 limit, considering in_flation. Coilova stated that
a limit this low is difficult when emergency repairs are needed, such as boilers and HVAC systems. Hoefi
indicated these items are usually on approval at the consent level. Some items are $4,000 to $8,000 but are not
significant in the scheme of things. Ramsdell felt this was a good checks and balance system. Hoe~ stated that
an emergency Council meeting may be called whenever necessary. Peterson suggested using a budget
percentage, as it would be more timeless. Coilova stated that the State Statutes has a $15,000 limit, and suggest
that amount be used. Landwehr felt it should be left to the discretion of the Council. Hoe~ stated that the
amount expended without Council approval may be set by resolution. He felt the concern with using
percentages, would give departments automatic authority for increases. Antzaras stated this dollar amount
requires the city manager to contact the council if there is a problem. Hoe~ questioned if$3,000 is an
appropriate amount and if it was Council's intention to freeze the amount when this was approved. Antzaras
asked what the dollar amount was in the charter before 1990, and how often the amount has been changed.
Fowler felt a Council resolution setting the dollar amount may be the best solution. Hoe~ stated that from an
operational standpoint, there has been frustration with the current level of $3,000, as staff must walt a week or
two to get an item on the council agenda. Hoefi stated that allowing council to set the amount by resolution is
the most efficient manner, and would allow them to give more or less lee way to the acting city manager of that
time. Upon discussion, commissioners agreed a simple majority vote on such a resolution would be sufficient.
Hoe~ will prepare such language for the next meeting.
Synowezynski asked if Eminent Domain is controlled by State Statute. Hoe~ discussed the basics of this
process, which must be followed pursuant to the statute.
On Section 57, Hoe~ stated the City is required to follow statutes. Service contracts are not covered under this
section. He indicated there is no need to take bids for contracts under $25,000. The Legislature has discussed
raising this amount, but it failed. Peterson questioned if the charter could define or limit other contracts such as
service contracts, for standard practice. Hoe~ stated the Council will require service contracts that are
significant to be bid out. Discussion included taking the "lowest, responsible bid". Hoe~ stated that service
contracts are more difficult to define as they may not have a defined time limit, and that there are too many
variables.
Peterson felt that Chapter 57 should be better defined. Hoefi stated that like special assessments you are
referred to a specific provision of the city code. Synowczynski suggested the Commission look at the
corresponding ordinance #1214. Peterson requested to see a copy of the municipal contract law for the State of
Minnesota for review at the next meeting to see how it impacts the Charter and affect this brief section.

Draft Zoning Ordinance Regarding Telecommunication Towers/Antennas
This ordinance is being drafted to provide for the installation of telecommtmication towers and antennae in a
manner that balances the need for such facilities with the potential adverse impacts on public health, safety, and
welfare. The provisions of this section are intended to encourage the co-locatinn of facilities in order to
minimize the number of towers needed to serve the community.
Jean explained that while this is really a zoning issue to be addressed by the Planning and Zoning Commission,
the City is seeicing input on any technical issues that should be included, or changed in the Ordinance. Reuben
stated that he would like to Table Part 3 CPrivate Antennae and Towers) until he has time to check with others in
the area, especially the ham radio operators. He claims there are about 75 ham operators in the area that could be
affected by this. He also feels the "shall not exceed 60 feet height" mentioned in the ordinance is too restrictive.
He thinks 75 ~ would be better. The need for a clear signal, above the tree line, is imperative. Reuben would
like to see ham operators excluded from the moratorium and from the requirements listed in the Draft Ordinance.
The commission members also felt that maybe the restrictions for commercial and private residential towers,
antennaes, or dishes need to be separate issues. Steve Guzzetta, our legal counsel, also cautioned that there are
already regulations established by the FCC and PUC that address such issues, and that the city may be limited as
to what they can actually enforce. There are many regulations regarding ham operators that prohibit cities from
denying them access to operate. Steve warned against rushing through this and passing something that could
potentially lead to a lawsuit. He felt a clear definition of the terms antennae, towers, and dishes needed to be
established. He thinks someone with more knowledge in this subject area should be reviewing or writing this
ordinance.
Dan Swee also had a concern with Section 4.e. restricting the size to 200 sq. ~. He felt that should be increased
slightly. After further discussion, the commission made the following motions:
Motion by Bob, seconded by Brad to recommend the City obtain legal counsd knowledgeable in the
telecommunications field, and the regulations already in place, to help us write an ordinance that wouM provide
guidance or address additional installations of towers, antennaes, and dishes. ,411 ayes.
Motion by Rueben, seconded by Dan Swee to recommend the extension of the moratorium for a period of at least
60 days for commercial installations of towers, antennaes, or dishes. ,411 ayes.
Assign Members to Access Channels
It was decided that the access channel reports would be assigned as follows:
Educational-Dennis Stroik Library: Bob Buboltz
Government-Ken Henke Public-Reuben Ruen
It was also decided that since Religious Access is sharing space, that an assignment need not be made at this
time.
2001BudgetPreparation
Jean reported that preparations for the 2001 Budget are underway. If any of the commission members have items
they would like to inchde, please contact Jean by May 26th, so they might be included in the process. The
Commission Members felt one week's notice was insufficient time to be able to give this the type of attention it
deserves. Next year they would like a month to assess what upgrades or equipment might be needed throughout
the following year.

MACTA Summer Seminar
The notice for the MACTA Summer Seminar being held at. Arrowwood Resort in mid July was enclosed in the

that Day 2 of the seminar is especially important, as it will address all the issues that will be brought to the
legislature in the next session. Reuben may be intcrested in attending~ 'Shelley will check to see if the cost of the
rooms are also covered and report hack to him.
Other New Business
We received a letter asking for another extension to complete the annual subscriber survey. As stated in the
letter, MediaOne is mailing out the surveys instead of doing them online as previously discussed. Because of the
time needed to mail them, and to tabulate the results, they are asking that the deadline be extended until the July
meeting.
Motion by Dennis, seconded by Reuben to approve: the extension to July. All ayes.
