Memo
To: City Council Members, Mayor Peterson
From: Jeff Sargent, City Planner

Re: Proposed Zoning Amendment for Auto Lots
The City Council has expressed concerns regarding the sale of vehicles, particularly
used cars along the Central Avenue corridor. In response to this concern, a
moratorium on used car lots was established, and City Staff was directed to study the
situation and offer a viable solution to the problem. It should be noted that the current
moratorium is set to expire on February 14, 2006, with an option for renewal for an
additional 6-month period.
City Staff proposes a Zoning Amendment that would disallow any type of car
dealership (new or used) along Central Avenue, effectively restricting dealerships to
the University Avenue corridor. Used car lots, as a stand-alone business would be
prohibited throughout the city, in any zoning district. Used cars would be able to be
sold as a component to a new car dealership, as long as they comprised of no more
than 30% of the new car dealership. The final restriction imposed on car dealerships
is that all future new car dealerships would require a Conditional Use Permit in order
to operate in Columbia Heights.
The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed and recommended approval of the
proposed zoning amendment on December 6, 2005, with a 4-1 vote. At the
December 12, 2005 City Council meeting, the proposed zoning amendment was
tabled for further discussion to the January 17, 2006 Work Session meeting.

ITEM: Ordinance 1503, Zoning Text Amendment to BY: Jeff Sargent, City Planner BY:
the GB, General Business District DATE: December 8, 2005
Meeting of: December 12, 2005
BACKGROUND: At the February 1,2005 Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission questioned if
used car lots were an appropriate use along Central Avenue and University Avenue. The Zoning Ordinance
currently permits used automobile businesses in the General Business District, and prohibits used automobile
businesses in the Central Business and Limited Business Districts.
ANALYSIS: It is impOliant to continue to allow the sale of used cars within the city, but to allow them only as a
component of a new car dealership. Staff recommends that it would be in the best interest of the city to locate all
new car lots away from Central A venue, which was also consistent with the intent of the moratorium imposed on
used car lots.
Staff proposes establishing a new zoning district, which replaces the GB, General Business District along University
Avenue, with a district that would allow for sale of new and used cars (GB-A, General Business-Automotive). One
major change would be the requirement for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for any newly established new car
dealership in the GB-A District. The new district would also prohibit any used car lot to be created as its own
separate entity, or as part of any business other than a new car dealership. However, new car dealerships would be
allowed to sell used cars if the used car component of the dealership consisted of no more than 30% of the total
outdoor display area pertaining to for-sale vehicles. The display area would be defined as the number of parking
stalls dedicated towards the sale of vehicles, excluding the parking stalls required for off-street parking for customers
and employees.
Requiring a CUP for all new car dealerships would enable the city to ensure that the dealership would meet all City
Code requirements at the time of application, as well as continual code compliance throughout the life of the
business.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends the City Council establish a 2nd
Reading of Ordinance 1503, for Monday, January 9,2006, at approximately 7:00 pm in City Council Chambers.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1503, there being ample copies available to the public.
Move to establish a second reading of Ordinance No. 1503, amending the text as it relates to the GB, General
Business District, for Monday, January 9,2006, at approximately 7:00 pm in the City Council Chambers.

City of Columbia Heights
REQUEST:
Zoning Amendment to the Zoning Code as it relates to the
GB, General Business District
PREPARED BY:
Jeff Sargent, City Planner
BACKGROUND: At the February 1, 2005 Planning Commission meeting, the Planning
Commission questioned if used car lots were an appropriate use along Central Avenue
and University Avenue. The Zoning Ordinance currently permits used automobile
businesses in the General Business District, and prohibits used automobile businesses
in the Central Business and Limited Business Districts. Prior to any zoning ordinance
amendments, the Planning Commission and staff believed it to be prudent to adopt an
emergency ordinance prohibiting the expansion or establishment of motor vehicles
sales and/or lease in the General Business District. On August 12, 2005, the City
Council adopted the emergency ordinance. This ordinance expires on February 14,
2006, and could be renewed for up to an additional 6 months through August 14, 2006.
ANALYSIS: It is important to continue to allow the sale of used cars within the city, but
to allow them only as a component of a new car dealership. Staff recommends that it
would be in the best interest of the city to locate all new car lots away from Central
Avenue, which was also consistent with the intent of the moratorium imposed on used
car lots.
Staff recommends establishing a new zoning district, which replaces the GB, General
Business District along University Avenue, with a district that would allow for sale of new
and used cars (GB-A, General Business-Automotive). One major change would be the
requirement for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for any newly established new car
dealership in the GB-A District. The new district would also prohibit any used car lot to
be created as its own separate entity, or as part of any business other than a /1ew car
dealership. However, new car dealerships would be allowed to sell used cars if the
used car component of the dealership consisted of no more than 30% of the total
outdoor display area pertaining to for-sale vehicles. The display area would be defined
as the number of parking stalls dedicated towards the sale of vehicles, excluding the
Ci~y of Columbia Heights Planning Commission
. Text Amendment, GB District
November 23, 2005
Case # 2005-1205
parking stalls required for off-street parking for customers and employees.
Requiring a CUP for all new car dealerships would enable the city to ensure that the
dealership would meet all City Code requirements at the time of application, as well as
continual code compliance throughout the life of the business. In addition to the
creation of a new zoning district, new and used auto sales would be removed as a
permitted or conditional use from the current GB zoning district, prohibiting a new car
dealership to be established along Central Avenue.
CONSISTENCY WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Two goals of the Comprehensive
Plan are to "enhance the image and viability of the University Avenue corridor" and to
"enhance the image and viability of the Central Avenue corridor". In addition, the
Comprehensive Plan states, "The City will facilitate the enhancement and partial
redevelopment of the University and Central Avenue corridors in a manner that is
compatible with and supportive of transit and transit-related land use patterns".
FINDINGS OF FACT: The City Council shall make the following findings before
granting approval of a request to amend the City Code. These findings are as follows:
a) The amendment is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
Two goals of the Comprehensive Plan are to "enhance the image and viability of
the University A venue corridor" and to "enhance the image and viability of the
Central A venue corridor". In addition, the Comprehensive Plan states, "The City
will facilitate the enhancement and partial redevelopment of the University and
Central A venue corridors in a manner that is compatible with and supportive of
transit and transit-related land use patterns". The proposed text amendments will
be consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
b) The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a
single property owner.
The City has received complaints regarding properties used solely as used car
dealerships. The proposed text amendments would benefit the public by limiting
the areas in which new car lots could be located, and imposing conditions upon
new car lots that are established.
c) Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular
property, the existing use of the property and the zoning classification of
property within the general area of the property in question are compatible
with the proposed zoning classification.
The newly created zoning district, GB-A, General Business-Automotive, is
specific to new car dealerships through a Conditional Use Permit. The existing
Page 2
City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission
. Text Amendment, GB District
November 23, 2005
Case # 2005-1205
use of the GB District along University Avenue and the proposed zoning
classification would therefore be compatible.
d) Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular
property, there has been a change in the character or trend of development in
the general area of the property in question, which has taken place since
such property was placed in its current zoning classification.
The City has discovered several used car lots being established in areas that
would not normally be suited for such a use, but zoned appropriately for them.
The intent of the text amendments is to help alleviate these situations and
establish a zoning district in which new car dealerships can be located.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends rezoning those parcels along University
Avenue from GB, General Business, to GB-A, General Business-Automotive. New and
used car lots will be Conditional Uses in the GB-A District and will no longer be
permitted uses in the GB District.
Motion: The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the text
amendments as outlined in the attached draft ordinance and approve the rezoning of
those properties affected, as indicated on the attached zoning map.

FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR ZONE 7B & lA STREET DA TE: 1/12/0 DATE: j
REHABILITATION AND ORDERING THE PUBLIC
IMPROVEMENT HEARING
Background:
Staff has developed preliminary plans and prepared the Feasibility Report for Zone 7B & lA of the Annual Street Rehabilitation
Program. The 2006 Project Area is bounded by California Street to University Avenue, from 37th to 45th Avenues and Central
Avenue to Reservoir Boulevard, from 37th to 45th Avenues. Council amended this area in January of2004 to Zones 7A and 7B due
to the scope of work. Zone 7A was completed in 2004 and the Street Rehabilitation Program was delayed for one year to
accommodate the Huset Parkway.
Analysis IConclusions:
Attached is the Feasibility Report that details the scope of work for Street Rehabilitation in Zone 7B and lA. Particular issues are
summarized below:
1. Rehabilitation Strategies:
Three treatment strategies are utilized in the street rehabilitation program: mill and overlay, partial reconstruction, and full
reconstruction. In Zone 7B, full and partial reconstruction or mill and overlay is proposed for the street identified on the attached
area map. A fourth strategy, seal coating, is addressed under separate engineering reports when seal coating work is proposed.
Staff utilizes three methods in evaluating the condition of the street and determining appropriate treatment:
1. Present physical structure (cross-section):
Each street within Zone 7 A has been excavated down to their sub-base material and the individual street segment
cross-sections are catalogued.
2. Non-destructive strength determination and condition rating:
Braun Intertec, a geo-technical engineering consultant, conducted tests on all streets at 50-foot intervals with a
dropping weight deflection test. From this, the strength of the road segment is determined. Braun also develops
their own pavement conditions index.
3. Overall Condition Index (OCI):
Staff also reviews each street segment by measuring the type and quantity of each type of cracking in the
pavement. This information along with other factors such as drainage and physical structure is used to determine
an "overall condition index".
The results are then used to determine the appropriate treatment to maximize the life of the street.
2. Utilities Replacement:
Utilities have been reviewed in Zone 7B & lA and the attached area map represents where staff is recommending replacement. Of
water main. Staff utilized televising, history of water main breaks, age of water main and services, leakage testing (independent
testing), and previous engineering reports in determining utility replacements. Many of the water mains were installed in the early
1900's in this area and are unlined which contributes to water quality problems.

Continued - Page 2
3. Assessment Methodology:
Street Rehabilitation Zones 1,2 and 3 all followed the existing assessment policies for each area. Under the 1999 Alley
Construction Program and in Zones 4,5, 6A, 6B and 7A, a "unit" assessment methodology was employed rather than using a "front
foot" rate basis. The area of Columbia Heights west of Central Avenue is essentially a block type development pattern with streets
and avenues. The existing assessment policy for this area would involve "street" assessments and "avenue" assessments. The
"street" frontage (typical front of property or where driveway access is) would pay a particular rate for the full frontage for that
type of treatment (mill & overlay or full reconstruction, for example) used on that street. That same parcel would pay a reduced
rate for the avenue for the full frontage.
I am a proponent of unit basis assessment methodology in reconstruction areas as it has been my experience that the court system
has accepted this rationale from an appeal basis. Going to a unit basis methodology would still create different rates for street and
avenue dependent upon the type of treatment the adjacent avenues receive.
4. Scope of Work:
At the January 20th, 2004 work session, the Zone 7 area was divided into two separate zones, 7A & 7B. With the completion of
Zone 7 A, staff is recommending adding and dividing Zone 1 into two zones along 45th Avenue. Zone 1 is recommended for Mill &
Overlay only on the streets shown, as many of the other streets in this area were rehabilitated in 1997. Streets that were rehabbed in
1997 would receive a seal coat at no cost to the property owner following the Program Policy. The cost sharing policy provides a
50/50 cost share for full reconstruction streets, 70/30 for partial reconstruction and 85/15 for mill & overlay.
5. Financing:
Street Rehabilitation Zone 7 A:
The estimated construction costs are as follows:
1. Full street reconstruction:
2. Partial street reconstruction:
3. Mill & Overlay reconstruction:
2. Utilities:
$ 631,825
$ 194,580
$ 292,825

6. Past Assessments:
Zone 7B & lA do not have areas that have had improvements assessed in the last 10 years on the proposed program area streets.
7. Concurrent Projects:
None.
8. Utility Issues:
Staff has evaluated both the sanitary sewer system and the storm sewer system for maintenance needs or improvements. The
sanitary sewer main system has been cleaned and televised by staff and the reports indicate that overall the condition of the piping
is acceptable with minor corrective recommendations by staff. At some locations, primarily on 3rd Street, the private sanitary sewer
service pipe has settled away from the connection to the sanitary sewer main. (This connection is commonly referred to as a
"wye".) Staff is estimating approximately 20 service connections will need to be replaced. In accordance with the City ordinance
this is owned by the homeowner and will be assessed similar to the water service.
The report does provide deficiencies several catch basins in Zones 7B & lA and minor pipe replacements. Staff is recommending
replacement of structures and piping due to deteriorated block or brick construction and concrete pipe.
Staff has also conducted an age survey of water service lines in areas where the water main will be replaced and recommends that
sub-standard water service lines be replaced and assessed to the benefiting properties for the actual construction cost.
9. Meeting Dates:
Staff has established the following meeting dates:

Street Reconstruction
The proposed roadway would consist of a two lane bituminous cross section with
concrete curb and gutter. The roadway width would generally match the existing
street width. It should be noted that some mature boulevard trees may need to be
removed to accommodate the new curb and gutter. As in previous zones, this is
necessary due to root and trunk growth interfering with the placement of new
concrete curb & gutter and where present, sidewalk.
Partial Street Reconstruction
The proposed roadway would consist of a new bituminous/gravel cross section,
the width remaining the same. Existing concrete curb and gutter would be

preserved except for sections with poor drainage and/or driveway openings with
drive-over curbs that will be removed and replaced.
Mill and Overlay
The proposed construction would consist of milling up to 112" of bituminous cross
section and paving a new 1 12" to 2" bituminous mat. Existing concrete curb and
gutter would be preserved except for sections with poor drainage and/or driveway
openings with drive-over curbs that will be removed and replaced.
Utilities
Water main replacement is proposed for 2nd Street, 3 ih to 40th Avenues, and 2 12
Street, 3ih Avenue to Edgemoor Place and approximately 150' on Edgemoor
Place. Staff is estimating approximately 37 water services may need to be
replaced. This is based on the number of homes built before 1950 and 2
apartment buildings which share a service. The type and size of water service is
field verified during construction. Any water service other than % " or larger
copper is replaced. Inoperable stop boxes will also be replaced.
Roadway construction will include minor modifications to existing sanitary and
storm sewer and water main utility surface structures in order to meet proposed
finish grades.
Sidewalk
City staff recommends hazardous sidewalk within Zones 7B and lA be replaced
as part of the project and included with the cost. Hazardous sidewalk will be
assessed in accordance with the City policy.
The proposed improvement project is necessary to provide consistency with the
street rehabilitation policy, cost -effective with the inclusion of partial city
funding, and technically feasible as prescribed in the construction
recommendations found elsewhere in this report. The project and project
elements should be implemented as proposed in this study. The improvements,
once completed, will provide a benefit to the properties served.
Construction is scheduled to begin in late spring of 2006, with substantial
completion occurring in the late summer of 2006.

FEET OF WATER MAIN UNDER THE MINNEAPOLIS DATE: 1/13/06 DATE: V
2006 PROGRAM
Background: Columbia Heights has received complaints of discolored water at various locations and for many years throughout
the City. City staff has determined that the rusty water is caused by encrusted iron scale deposits sloughing off the inside of the
water main and into the water distribution system. To date, the problem originates only in unlined cast iron pipe, which was
common prior to 1962. Although iron scale has a tendency to turn the color of the water yellow or light brown, it is not known to
be a health risk by federally regulated standards. City staff has taken many samples, and continues to test the drinking water to
ensure compliance with State and Federal requirements. The problem in general is called 'tuberculation' and results in restricted
flows. In January of2005, Staff reported to the City Council several techniques to address this problem and indicated that there are
likely multiple areas ofthe distribution system affected by tuberculation.
Analysis IConcIusions: In 2005, Columbia Heights had 3,000 lineal feet of water main cleaned and lined under the City of
Minneapolis Cleaning and Lining Program. The two areas that were completed were:
. Alley from 3ih to 39th Avenue, between Polk and Tyler Streets, and
. Jefferson Street, from 49th to 51 51 Avenues
City staff conducted a random survey following the completion ofthe project and attached is a summary of the comments received
from the residents. Staff believes the program accomplished what was intended and eliminated the discolored water problem and
restored the original diameter(s) of the existing piping system. The newly lined pipe should provide another 40 years or more of
servIce.
Based upon the first year positive results and project success, staff conducted C-Factor testing on other known problem areas of the
water distribution system. A map indicating the results of the C-Factor testing is attached. C-Factor testing involves isolating water
main segments, flowing water and measuring pressures and flow rate. A C-Factor is then calculated which can be used to determine
the amount of tuberculation in-pipe. Another way to look at a C-Factor is it is a measurement of resistance to flow in-pipe. New
pipe will have a C-Factor of 120-125. We would have expected the C-Factors in the areas tested (based on age) to be in a range of
90-95. A general rule of thumb is values below a range of70-75 would indicate a pipe in poor condition. The measured C-Factors
in the Madison, Monroe, and 50-1/2 Avenue measured 27 and 28 and C-Factors in the 50th and 49-1/2 Avenues measured 51.
Based upon the C-Factor testing, staff is recommending a 2006 Cleaning and lining Program for water main in the following streets
and as depicted on the attached map:
.
Madison from 48th to 51 51 Avenues
48th Avenue from Jefferson to Monroe
Monroe from 48th to 49th Avenues
.
.
The process of Mechanical Cleaning and Lining is shown on the attached diagram and involves shutting down a pipe segment,
cutting open and accessing (excavating and cutting open) the water main every 400 to 600 feet, and pulling or pushing a Continued

mechanical cleaning device (sometimes called a 'pig') through the line to remove the encrustation. Depending on the severity of
the interior buildup, a water line may have to be "pigged" repeatedly until the original interior diameter is restored. Since this
process leaves the iron wall exposed, lining the interior pipe is necessary to prevent water contact with the iron surface allowing the
tuberculation process to start all over.
Minneapolis utilizes Cement mortar lining by applying lean cement through a rotating head of a specific diameter. As the lining
machine moves through the pipe, it leaves a smooth trowelled finish. The new lining of the pipe provides a smooth interior wall
resistant to mineral deposits and future tuberculation buildup. Next to complete pipe replacement, this is the most expensive pipe
rehabilitation technique. Costs for mechanical cleaning and cement mortar lining can range from $35 to $55 per foot, depending on
the pipe diameter and severity of buildup.
The primary issue that was learned from the 2005 Cleaning and Lining Program was to get information out earlier to the affected
areas. A potential cost to the homeowner is the access and operability of the curb stop or water shut off valve at the property line.
In the Jefferson area, we experienced 4-6 services per block that needed repair. Consistent with our City Code, it is the
homeowner's responsibility for the service line from the main in the street to the house. At the direction of the City Council, repairs
and replacements of water service lines are publicly bid and those prices for repairs or replacements are extended to the
homeowners if they so choose. The inspection of the curb stops should be completed early this spring in the proposed program
area.
Based upon the 2005 Program costs from the City of Minneapolis, Staff is proposing a 2006 Program cost of $1 00,000, consistent
with the amount established in the 2006 Water Construction Fund budget.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the preparation of final plans and specifications for water main cleaning and
lining of three segments of pipe totaling 3,200 lineal feet, under the City of Minneapolis main cleaning and lining program for
2006, and furthermore, authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement with the City of Minneapolis for the
same.

ISSUES:
The following is a study of the key project issues.
Water Main Cleaning and Lining
The existing water mains in the identified streets have been C-Factor tested and
shown to be severely tuberculated. 'Tuberculation' is a problem affecting unlined
cast iron water distribution pipes, which was common prior to 1962. Iron builds
up over time on the inside walls of the water pipe and enters the distribution
system causing color and sometimes odor problems. Although iron scale has a
tendency to turn the color of the water yellow or light brown, it is not known to be
a health risk by federally regulated standards. Aside from the aesthetic issues,
severe tuberculation results in restricted flows. Correcting the problem typically
involves either replacing the water main or cleaning and lining the affected
segments in place. Replacing water main can be very expensive due to the street
restoration costs where street segments are not otherwise programmed for
reconstruction. Cleaning and lining offers a viable alternative where entire street
segments are not disturbed and only access pits are required at 400-600 foot
intervals. Other factors, such as the condition of the pipe, soil conditions, and
depth of cover should also be considered when evaluating cleaning and lining.
The advantages of concrete are longer design life, ease and ability to construct
and maintain an inverse crown and lower maintenance cost.
Water Curb Stop Access and Operability
To perform the water main cleaning and lining project, it is necessary to have the curb

stop box (water shut off valve) located on the water service accessible and operable (see
attached diagram 1 depicting a water service). The necessity is driven by the process that
once the line segment is cleaned and cement mortar lined, each individual service tap is
covered with the cement mortar and needs to be 'opened' to restore service. This is
performed within a window of one hour after lining process by open each curb stop and
blowing water back into the line from the water service. Depending on the area and the
age of the water service, some curb stops are either not accessible or do not work,
. . .
requmng repair.
The proposed improvement project is necessary to clean, line and restore adequate
flow through segments the water main distribution system. It is cost-effective
without full street reconstruction, and technically feasible as prescribed in the
construction recommendations found elsewhere in this repOli. The project and
project elements should be implemented as proposed in this study. The
improvements, once completed, will provide a benefit to the properties served.
The water main cleaning and lining would be included with the existing City of
Minneapolis annual program. Project construction is scheduled to begin in mid
summer of 2006, with substantial completion occurring in the early fall of 2006.
