The property from the outside is not undesirable. We do not have an inspection report on the inside of the home and nothing on the assessed value of the property. We are using money from the K-mart TIF District prematurely, as we do not know the remaining needs for that project. It is committing future tax dollars. When this was originally proposed and adopted, citizens were told the funds would relieve the tax burden. We don't have a plan. There should be a selection criteria prior to considering these properties. City Council Minutes Monday, December 08, 2008 Page 3 of 23 Diehm stated that residents will see the benefit of these tax dollars. It may not be $20 in tax relief, but four years ago we made a commitment to residents to improve that area. It is difficult to raise tax dollars for this. We need to proceed carefully, and obtain appraisals. Kelzenberg stated this is not premature, it is long overdue. Motion by Diehm, second by Kelzenberg, to waive the reading of Resolution 2008-305, there being an ample amount of copies available to the public. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. Motion by Diehm, second by Kelzenberg, to adopt Resolution 2008-305, being a Resolution approving acquisition of property located at 4636 Polk Street; and furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same. Williams agreed that on the outside the home looks O.K., but on the inside there is mold, broken fixtures, the ceiling is coming down, etc. Fehst indicated the assessed value is $259,000 and we would pay $98,000. Nawrocki stated that the Anoka County value is not what the property would sell for at this time. We do not have a fix up cost estimate, versus just purchasing it and tearing it down. Deb Johnson, 4626 Pierce, stated that a city lot is about $6'7,000, so this would cost about $30,000. Nawrocki stated it will be another $10 to 15,000 to tear it down and we lose the tax value while it is off of the roles. We spent about $1 million to tear down houses on one block. We still have costs that need to be made up. Johnson stated that you. are collecting quite a bit more in taxes. Nawrocki not saying it was bad to rebuild that block, but we are still paying for it. We do not have a comprehensive plan. We have over 450 foreclosed homes and we can't make a dent in that. Johnson stated she is one of the few that are still living in that area, even though slow, the good changes are coming.

Nawrocki why is the storm sewer fund paying for this project when there is a park reserve fund. Hansen stated there are four items on the change order with the storm sewer fund. We had to relocate a catch basin, asked for an additional catch basin at Sullivan, the Rice Creek Watershed permit process required underdrains and are storm water related. Regarding the soil contamination was found because we had to place this storm water pond. Nawrocki questioned the beach improvements. Hansen the park ded paid 65 percent and the rest from grants.

Adopt Resolution 2008-312, being a Resolution approving a 2-foot side yard variance for an addition to 4826 W. Upland Crest. Jeff Sargent, City Planner, stated the request is a two foot set back. There was a fenced area used for storage, that had a roof put on it to get runoff water to the back of the property. When the roof was put on it did not comply with the five foot setback. The P&Z voted 4-1 to approve this. There was a survey of the property to the north at the P&Z meeting- survey of 1964, but if look at the site plan and survey there may be discrepancies. It may be best to require the owner to get a survey, as a condition to their building permit, which shows there are three feet available. If the survey comes back as less it would have to go back to the P&Z and Council. He recommended approval of the variance and would recommend to add two conditions: 1. applicant submit survey and get building permit 2. get permit by June or remove structure by that time. Nawrocki asked. if question is the building is 3 feet from property line. Sargent stated the discrepancy between the site plan and the 1964 survey of the property line. Nawrocki stated that a survey may be expensive. Hansen stated that could cost between $500 and $1000 for a survey. Nawrocki questioned the need for that cost. 10 City Council Minutes Monday, December O8, 2008 Page 6 of 23 Diehm stated clarification that if the survey is correct, we could be approving something that is on the neighbor's property. Sargent stated that the fence with the roof is probably right on the property line. Peterson asked if he visited the property. Nawrocki from the street. Peterson walked the property and looking at it, he would highly suggest that they get a survey or find the property stakes, which would replace the survey. This would protect the people making the request. Peterson stated that the survey must verify the corners. Nawrocki asked if we are talking three feet from the fence to the property line. Mary 4846 Mark Hiel Upland Crest. - Hiel stated a survey not necessary, but the pins should be there and the records should show this. Hiel stated that the neighbors are ok if the water issue is taken care of. Jim Hoeft, city Attorney, stated that a full survey may not be necessary. Something less can be requested. It is not the city's obligation to find the stakes. They can find them and have staff come out and look at them. Diehm it is important for them, if we grant variance, if on their property, they would have to remove it. Hiel stated that the roof is necessary to keep his house from falling. The fence was there when they bought the house. Peterson stated this would be for their protection. Motion Diehm ,clarification of date: Sargent June 2009 second by Kelzenberg. MOTION by :Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2008-312, there being ample copies available to the public. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. MOTION by Diehm, second by Kelzenberg to adopt Resolution No. 2008-312, approving a 2- foot side yard setback variance for the construction of an addition to the house located at 4826 W.

B. 2nd Reading of Ordinance No. 1560, authorizine convevance of certain real estate located at 950 40th Avenue and Adoatinu Resolution 2008-304. Business Subsidy Agreement with Stadium Village. Clark stated this began in August -for transfer of City's plaza property, an exchange for the exterior improvements. This is a subsidy and requires a subsidy requirement. There is a public purpose, and therefore only goals, completion of the exterior facade and must remain an office building for five years. This is a formal public hearing. Williams asked if the Park Dedication of $1,500 is new. Clark stated that was added.. Nawrocki stated this is a give away of $240,000 to give the plaza to the owner of the building. Last meeting comment on increased. tax value, but staff could not define. He reminded council that part of the overall project was to purchase 961 Gould and use for a dump site of snow. That property had paid $1.,000 in property taxes, therefore is a loss of tax dollars. Williams questioned if we would let them use if for snow for nothing. Clark stated that was discussed. an previously approved. They will use the property, and we will retain ownership. We purchased the property for $30,000 and they will demolish and landscape land. They will get the ramp in ??2022 -and that property will become part of the parking ramp in 2022 in exchange for the improvements they have made to the property over the last 40 years. Cartney stated that they will maintain that property. In the time between now and 2022 they will pay that amount in 11 City Council Minutes Monday, December 08, 2008 Page 7 of 23 improvements. They will then pay taxes on that property. The subsidy is for the parking ramp and not the property on Gould. Nawrocki stated this is just more of a dent in property taxes received. Nawrocki they would lose their drive through without the plaza. Clark 8:17 the $240,000 is relative -this is locked up the next 50 years under the lease, and there is no liquid asset on this property. Williams understood that the $240,000 value should be added to their tax value. Clark stated that there will be some increased value. Also, the skin adds value in marketability and perspective. Clark the appraisal was $240,000 in value of use. The value on the open market would be $25,000 and the plaza would have to be torn down. Clark stated the Gould property was purchased for drainage purposes. The home was blighted and had diseased trees on it. They took over the demolition costs. The exchange was for them to put in $450,000 on the exterior and $1 million in the building and parking ramp. Nawrocki re tax value -there is the $30,000 the city paid and the amount the property did pay in tax, if another taxpaying home was put there, take into account the amount they would pay in taxes. The increased value in the building is an advantage to the owner for the amount of rent he can charge. They are currently negotiating a new lease with Northeast Bank.

ORDINANCE NO.1560 BEING AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING TO CONVEY CERTAIN REAL ESTATE LOCATED AT 950 40T'' AVENUE The City of Columbia Heights does ordain: 22 City Council Minutes Monday, December 08, 2008 Page 18 of 23 Section 1: The City is the owner of certain real property in the City of Columbia Heights, legally described as "Exhibit A" and attached as part of this Ordinance (the "Subject Property"). Said real estate is located at 950 40th Ave. Northeast, Columbia Heights, Minnesota. The Subject Property is referenced in an original agreement, dated July 20, 1982, between the Columbia Heights Housing and Redevelopment Authority and Terry Evenson, which has been amended and assigned from time to time, as the "Walkway Property". On August 25, 2008 the City Council agreed to accept a "Preliminary Development Agreement" by and between the City of Columbia Heights and Stadium Village Properties (the "Agreement"). This Agreement detailed the rationale for the City to transact an action that would deed title of the Walkway Property from the City to Stadium Village Properties, LLC (the "Developer") in exchange for the aforementioned entity to reinvest, at the Developer's owned office building located at 3989 Central Ave. N. E., in the complete reconstruction of the exterior facade. At the time of the passage of the Agreement, the cost for the reconstruction was estimated at $500,000. The actual cost of the project, based on information provided by the Developer is $ 456,900. In addition, the Developer also infused $994,405 into other improvements in the Walkway, City owned Parking Ramp and the office building. As of the date of this Ordinance, the subject exterior improvements have been substantially completed. As part of the Agreement, the City commissioned an appraisal of the property. This appraisal, dated October 7, 2008 and completed by Nagell Appraisal and Consulting, establishes three separate values for the Walkway Property. The "value in use", meaning a value of a specific property to a specific person or firm as opposed to the market in general is $245,000. The "value in exchange", meaning the value on the open market is $25,000. The third is a "lease fee value" of $13 based on the dollar a year provision in the 1982 Agreement. Section 2: The City Council, by the passage of this Ordinance, hereby agrees that the preliminary consideration of the Developer, i.e., the reconstruction of the facade at 3989 Central Ave. N.E., has been substantially completed, and that in turn, the Subject Property should be deeded to the Developer for $1.00. Section 3: As part of this transaction the Developer agrees to pay to the City $1,500 for park dedication fees as part of the minor subdivision approval process. In addition, casualty insurance on the adjoining parking ramp, as described in the 1982 Agreement, will become the responsibility of the Developer and proof of the same should be submitted to the City's Finance Department upon request. Section 4: The Mayor and City Manager are herewith authorized and directed to execute all documents necessary to effect the terms of this conveyance. Section 5: This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after thirty (30) days its passage.

Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. LETTERS AND REQUESTS A. Request for the use of John P. Murzvn Hall by the Columbia Heights davcare_ providers Windschitl informed the commission that the providers have used JPM in precious years. The local neighborhood providers are required to clean after each event. Windschitl stated that this group has not been charged in the past and is a for profit group. Evans suggested establishing a cleanup fee if they do not clean after each use. Motion by McDonald, second. by Hoium, to allow the Columbia Heights day care providers to continue to use JPM without any fees if they clean after each use. Evans: abstain, Greenhalgh: abstain, Hoium: aye, McDonald: aye, Payne: aye, Stroik: aye. Upon vote: 4 ayes, 2 abstentions. Motion carried. OLD BUSINESS A. Update on JPM marketing results through the Twin City Brid_a__i Association Windschitl discussed the profile reviews through the Twin City Bridal Association. The report indicated 865 hits to our website from June 1, 2008 to October 14, 2008. He stated that this is the only means of budgeted advertising. Many renters of JPM find the facility through word of mouth. B. Update on Huset West Park Plan Hansen informed the commission on the progress of the Huset West Park Plan. A copy of the site layout is attached in the current agenda packet. Bids are going out for the shelter budgeted at 85,000. Dependant upon weather the footings may be placed this fall or in the spring if the ground freezes before the product arrives. The shelter will be located across from the wading pool adjacent to the trail. Hansen. stated the goal is to maximize the size based upon the money allocated placing the shelter size between 42 and 48 feet wide. The site plans show future improvement of the decking around the wading pool and moving the seating area inside of the fence for parents watching children in the pool. 29 Recreation Department 10/22/2008 Page 2 Stroik asked about the roof on the shelter at Sullivan Lake Park and the concern with channel brought up at the City Council Meeting. Hansen replied that leaves would collect in the valley where the two roofs come together but employees will blow those off. The area discussed during the Council Meeting is where the two roofs overlap, a metal piece comes underneath and the old roof overlaps. Hansen does not see that as a problem of deterioration because the debris will not sit on anything over time. Holum asked what the results were of the fire at Sullivan Lake Park. Hansen replied that the contractors left palettes and wood waste product under the shelter with plans to finish cleaning on Friday when some one set it on fire on Thursday evening. The contractor took full responsibility for it and is in the process of replacing the wood boards in the roof and three panels of the concrete. C. Recreation Budget Windschitl reported the budget for 2009 has a projected increase of approximately 5%, which is equivalent to about $35,000. These increases are due to step increases for union contracts, personnel increases, utility costs for gas and electric. There are no major items. This projected budget does not reflect the final pricing for the Honeywell agreement. Honeywell has said that they will reduce the annual contract for Murzyn Hall in the amount of $15,000. The Honeywell contract for JPM in 2009 would be about $6000. Stroik asked if the 5% increase is average for all City Department budgets. Windschitl replied that 5% is on the lower side of most departments. Hansen replied that Public Works is in the same range overall. Holum asked about the revenue line item of rents and leases. Windschitl responded that Murzyn Hall is not self-supporting and brings in roughly $100,000 in revenue. Each specific department under Recreation allocates a portion to pay Murzyn Hall budget back for usage of the building. As an example the office allocates about 10% for building use. Windschitl replied that a lot of community groups use the building and many nights the building is open for one or two groups for regular meetings. Stroik suggested. compacting activities in JPM to one night during the week to be able to close JPM and save on the budget. Windschitl replied that we currently schedule activities during the same evenings but there are some nights where one or two activities may be in the building. Stroik asked if money is allotted for the new City gym opening next year. Windschitl indicated that the proposed budget for 2009 does not reflect the gym but staff are projecting some where around $80,000 with utilities and expenditures for the facility. D. 2008 Ramsdell Park master Plan Hansen asked. the Commission if there were any other questions from the last meeting. No new public comments had been received since the last meeting. The only recent contact was a repeat comment from a resident near to the wading pool requesting a six or eight foot high privacy fence. Hansen. restated the policy to use natural landscape 30 Recreation Department 10/22/2008 Page 3 screening. Evans stated that similar to another resident at Ramsdell Park this resident could install his or her own privacy fence and the City would then remove the existing chain link fence. Holum asked about the amount budgeted for Ramsdell. Hansen replied $250,000 for next year at Ramsdell Park. He indicated the parking lot expansion and skate park, shown as future improvements on the Master Plan, are not included in this budget. Motion by Holum, second by Payne, to recommend approval of the Master Park Plan for Ramsdell Park in 2009 to the City Council. Upon vote: all ayes. Motion carried. NEW BUSINESS A. Silver Lake Beach Fishing Pier Hansen indicated this was brought up at the last City Council meeting. One item to be addressed is an appropriate area for a fishing pier. The cost of a pier for material alone is roughly $25,000. The pier would need to be ADA accessible. For a T-shape removable dock with wheelchair accessibility would cost between $30,000 - $45,000. Staff suggest near the boat landing. McDonald indicated that the area is very shallow. Holum asked what the Three Rivers Park District is planning on doing for fishing. Hansen replied that what he has been told is that are no plans in terms of fishing. It will be concentrated as more of an art type of park with nature and plantings. Hansen indicated willingness to work with the district in terms of a joint area. The initial idea is to apply for a grant program through the DNR for partial or full funding. Hansen indicated that the DNR currently stocks the lake with fish as part of an aeration agreement. McDonald suggested working with the Three Rivers Park District to utilize the area east of the swimming beach. Motion by Greenhalgh, second by Payne, to pursue a grant application through the DNR and talk with the Three Rivers Park District for a joint fishing area. Upon vote: all ayes. Motion carried. Peterson indicated being open to a grant with a matching fund requirement and being open to pursue all opportunities. B. John P. Murzyn Hall 2010 rental rates Windschitl reported that staff is suggesting keeping the existing 2009 rental rates the same in 2010. Saturday rentals are well booked in 2009. One change includes increasing the Community Officer hourly charge from $23 to $24 per hour. Windschitl indicated applying a single room rental maximum time frame to seven hours. Currently renters could have the room all day and night that does not even cover staff costs. By limiting the rental Erma would allow staff time to be condensed and be able to manage staff better. Linen rentals will increase to $7 plus tax per table linen. Windschitl explained a more recent problem of renters changing or adding an order at the last minute in the week of the event. It is possible to still get linens for example at a fast minutes notice, but there are additional staff costs and fuel charges. Windschitl proposes a $50 service fee for special orders made within one week of an event. He indicated this additional fee is not to gouge renters, but solely to cover some extra costs of staff time and gas fees of picking 31 Recreation Department 10/22/2008 Page 4 up supplies. The rental rates will remain the same from 2009 to 2010. The 25% discount will remain for residents of Columbia Heights. Renters are only allowed one discount. Stroik asked about the situation when a renter of JPM would want use of the shelter at Huset Park and weather there would be an additional charge. Members agreed that due to the low cost of the shelter reservation fee a renter of JPM should pay the additional fee. Windschitl also asked about establishing a shelter reservation fee waive policy and if we should waived the fee for some community groups should they ask. Members agreed that most groups would be able to afford the minimal fee. Holum stated that a group could go to the park and take the chance to see if it was open or reserved by another group. Motion by Payne, second by Holum, to accept the proposed 2010 John P. Murzyn Hall rates effective immediately. Upon vote: all ayes. Motion carried. REPORTS A. Recreation Director Windschitl indicated that the regular Park & Recreation Meetings for November and December would fall on holidays. He proposed changing the meeting dates to November 19`" at 6:00 p.m. and December 17t" at 6:00 p.m. Members agreed. B. Public Works Director/City En ig~ Weer Hansen reported that controlled burns would. be conducted at Prestemon and Huset Parks to encourage new growth of those areas planted with native seeds. Two burns in past years were conducted at Prestemon Park. A public notification will be given out prior to the burn event. C. Commission Members Payne asked if the run off on ballfield #5 could be fixed. It builds up in the parking lot after a runoff. Windschitl indicated that the fencing is curled up at the bottom. Hansen stated that he was unaware of how much runoff was occurring, but would look into it. Evans asked if the sliding hill at Silver Lake Beach would be completed by winter. Hansen replied that work was being done today and would be done by Friday.

Commission Members present- Thompson, Schmitt, Peterson and Szurek. Excused absence- Fiorendino Also present were Jeff Sargent (City Planner), Gary Peterson (Council Liaison), and Shelley Hanson (Secretary). Motion by Schmitt, seconded by Peterson, to approve the minutes from the meeting of December 2, 2008. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. PUBLIC HEARINGS CASE NUMBER: 2009-0101 APPLICANT: Frattalone's Ace Hardware LOCATION: 4340 Central Avenue REQUEST: Site Plan Approval for signage INTRODUCTION At this time, Frattalone's Ace Hardware is requesting a site plan approval for new signage at 4340 Central Avenue. The tenant space had been occupied by the City's municipal liquor store, and is located in the Rainbow Foods Shopping Center. The proposed new signage for the tenant space requires a site plan approval because the property is located within the Design Overlay Highway District. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for Commercial related activities. One of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan is to provide opportunities and mechanisms for successful redevelopment of targeted areas within the community, by enhancing the image and viability of the Central Avenue corridor. One way to accomplish this goal is for the businesses along Central Avenue to conform to the Design Guidelines for commercial-related activity. The proposed sign plan meets all the requirements of the Design Guidelines, and for this reason is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. ZONING ORDINANCE The property is located in the GB, General Business, as are the properties to the east. The properties to the north and south are zoned LB, Limited Business and R-2A, One and Two Family Residential. The subject parcel is also located within the Design Overlay Highway District, and is subject the regulations for such properties. The City Code at Section 9.106 (P)(I 1) states that total signage in the GB District shall not exceed two square feet for each front foot of tenant space provided in the multi-tenant building. The tenant space occupied by Frattalone's Ace Hardware is 60 feet wide. For this reason, the total amount of signage allowed for the tenant is 120 square feet. The applicant's sign plan indicates one wall sign totaling 88 square feet in area, meeting the minimum sign code regulations. 37 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 2 January 6, 2009 DESIGN GUIDELINES SIGNAGE. The Design Guidelines prohibit internally lit box signs. The proposed wall sign incorporates internally lit channel letters. For this reason, the proposed sign plan meets the design guidelines. FINDINGS OF FACT Site Plan Approval Section 9.104 (M) requires that the Planning and Zoning Commission shall make each of the following findings before approving a site plan: 1. The site plan conforms to ali applicable requirements of this article The proposed site plan meets all the Design Guidelines standards for wall signs in relation to the color of the sign and the types of materials used to construct it. 2. The site plan is consistent with the applicable provisions of the city's comprehensive plan. The proposed sign plan is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, as it is consistent with the Design Overlay Highway District. 3. The site plan is consistent with any applicable area plan. There is no applicable area plan for this area. 4. The site plan minimizes any adverse impacts on property in the immediate vicinity and the public right-of--way. The proposed signage meets all the minimum square footage requirements and all Design Guideline requirements. For this reason, the property in the immediate vicinity should not be adversely impacted. The signage plan conforms to all standards outlined in the Design Guidelines. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the site plan for the Frattalone 's Ace Hardware, located at 4340 Central Avenue. Sargent also explained that the sign is already in place. The applicant opened the store in mid December, and he wasn't aware that because the store is in the Design Guideline District that it had to go before the Planning & Zoning Commission. Sargent told members that these requests must come before the commission because the current language of the Ordinance requires it. He inquired whether the members would be open to changing the Ordinance so that staff could take care of these requests administratively. He said this would eliminate a delay of 30 or more days for businesses relocating in existing sites. Sargent said he checked with members of the City Council, and they have no problem with changing the Ordinance to allow staff to mrocess these requests. Sargent made it clear that anv sianaae for new construction or for those requesting variances would still be brought to the Commission for approval or recommendation. The members agreed. that it would be a good idea to change the Ordinance. Sargent will bring the Ordinance change to the Commission at the next meeting. 38 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 3 JANUARY 6, 2009 Questions from members: There were no further questions.

Mike Frattalone CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: REQUEST: INTRODUCTION Date 2009-0102 Sonic, Border Foods, Inc. 4910 Central Avenue Site Plan Approval, Variances At this time, Border Foods, Inc. d/b/a Sonic Restaurant is requesting a Site Plan approval for the construction of a new restaurant located at 4910 Central Avenue. As part of the approval process, the applicant is also requesting three variances. They are as follows: 1. A 15-foot front yard setback parking variance per Code Section 9.110 (C). 2. A 5-foot side yard setback parking variance per Code Section 9.110 (C). 3. A 24 square foot area variance for a monument sign per Code Section 9.106 (P)(12)(a)(3). BACKGROUND On February 7, 2006, Border Foods acquired the Dave's Car Wash property located at 4910 Central Avenue. After the acquisition, the applicant contacted the City of Columbia Heights indicating their desire to redevelop the site to include a new Taco Bell restaurant and a Starbucks Coffee Shop. 40 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 5 JANUARY 6, 2009 On April 14, 2008, the applicant presented the City with plans for the construction of the Taco Bell building only. The Taco Bell building required a minor subdivision, as well as two deviations from the Design Guidelines. The plans were approved, with the condition that the Dave's Car Wash be demolished. Construction on the project was completed in the summer of 2008. At this time, the applicants would like to construct a Sonic Restaurant where the former Dave's Car Wash once stood. Sonic Restaurants are drive-ins with no indoor seating. Patrons order their food from the parking stall areas and the wait staff delivers the food to the car. The restaurant will also have adrive-thru, where patrons can order their food, pick it up, and take it elsewhere to eat. Although Sonic has been in business for quite a while, they have been most popular on the west coast and are just now starting to locate in the Midwest. If approved, this would be Minnesota's fourth Sonic Restaurant. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan designates this area for commercial development that includes goals for commercial and economic development. The applicant's proposal is a commercial proposal and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. DESIGN GUIDELINES The Design Guidelines were adopted by the City Council after one year of preparation by a citizens group that included residents, as well as Central Avenue business owners. The mandatory guidelines were established to increase the visual appeal and pedestrian orientation of certain major street corridors within the city. The guidelines represent the minimum standards for design quality and have been implemented by Discozrnt Tire, Advanced Auto Parts, and Grand Central Lofts, all on Central Avenue. Ryland Homes, lnc. and Schafer Richardson have also used the guidelines in the redevelopment of the Industrial Park. Even though the proposed plans submitted by the applicant include two deviations from the Design Guidelines, the deviations are consistent with the intent of the Design Guidelines and contextually acceptable in the overall design of the project. (See below for more detail). ZONING ORDINANCE The property located at 4910 Central Avenue NE is zoned GB, General Business, as are the properties to the north and east. The properties to the west are zoned R-2A and R-2B, One and Two Family Residential. The property to the south is located in the City of Hilltop. The property is also located within the Design Guideline Highway District and is subject to the regulations for such properties. Parking. Fast food restaurants with drive thru convenience require six (6) parking stalls plus one (1) parking stall for each 40 square feet of dining area. The proposed restaurant will have 0 square feet of dining area, as it is a drive-in facility with no indoor seating. Therefore, the project requires only 6 parking stalls. The proposed plans indicate a total of l 8 parking stalls on site. Drive-Thru Facilities. The Zoning Code requires a minimum of six (6) stacking spaces per drive thru lane. The proposed. plans indicate seven (7) stacking spaces. Landscaping. The City Code requires landscape plans that include a minimum of one tree for every 50 feet of street frontage or fraction thereof. Parking areas shall have a minimum of 100 square feet of landscape area and one over-story tree for each 20 spaces or fraction thereof as well. 491.0 Central Avenue has 100.5 feet of street frontage, and incorporates 18 parking spaces. This requires three (3) trees, one of 41 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 6 JANUARY 6, 2009 which shall be an over-story tree, and 1.00 square feet of landscape area. The proposed plans indicate a total of four (4) trees, all of which are over-story trees, and approximately 1,000 square feet of landscaped area, meeting the City's minimum requirements in both regards. Included in the landscape plan for the project will be 16 shrubs. Signage. The Sign Code allows the building to have 2 square feet of signage for each 1 foot of building frontage, capped at 200 square feet. Being that this building is perpendicular to Central Avenue, and has only 28 feet of building frontage, the restaurant will be limited to 56 square feet of signage. The signage plan indicates that the building will incorporate 6 wall signs totaling 47 square feet in area. This meets the City's maximum requirements. The proposed plan also indicates the use of a monument sign, with a portion being an LED display. The current sign code allows monument signs to be a maximum. of 10 feet in height and 40 square feet in area. The proposed monument sign is 10 feet in height and 64 square feet in area. For this reason, a 24 square foot area variance is required for the approval of the monument sign. The sign code restricts the LED display to be no more than 50% of the total sign area. The plans indicate that the LED portion. will be 32 square feet in area, and the rest of the sign will also be 32 square feet in area. For this reason, the LED display conforms to the sign code. Stormwater Management. The applicant is proposing to use a small underground holding tank to help meet the City's requirements for Stormwater management. The City Engineer has reviewed the plans and has determined that they meet City requirements for rate control but only partially meet the requirements for water quality. A partial storm water management fee will be calculated and applied to the project to make up for the difference. Design Guidelines. The project is located at 491.0 Central Avenue, which is also located within the Design Overlay Highway District. Properties located in this district are subject to design guidelines when discussing the placement of the building on the lot, the height of the building, architectural details of the building, and signage. The design guidelines build on and complement recently completed streetscape improvements to the Central Avenue business district. It is assumed that the intent of the guidelines should be met, however, it is understood that there may be alternative ways to achieve the same design objectives. The City may permit alternative approaches that, in its determination, meet the objective(s) of the design guideline(s) equally well. The City may also waive any guideline when specific physical conditions of the site or building would make compliance more difficult or inappropriate. Some Design Guideline elements that have been met are as follows: FRANCHISE ARCHITECTURE. Franchise architecture (building design that is trademarked or identified with a particular chain or corporation and is generic in nature) is prohibited unless it employs a traditional storefront commercial style. The Sonic building itself is not shaped in a way that distinguishes the building as a Sonic Restaurant, and it also employs a traditional storefront commercial style. For this reason, the proposed building meets the Design Guidelines pertaining to franchise architecture. 42 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 7 JANUARY 6, 2009 DRIVE THRU FACILITIES. Drive-thru elements shall be placed to the side or rear of the principal building, and shall not be located between any building facade and Central Avenue. The proposed location of the drive-thru elements is located on the south side of the building, behind the front face of the restaurant. The orientation of the building to Central. Avenue is directly related to the location of the drive- thru facilities. Border Foods and City Staff agreed that it would be more desirable to have the drive-thru elements located correctly on the property than to have the building oriented correctly. PRIMARY FACADES. The base or ground floor of the building shall include elements that relate to the human scale, including texture, projections, doors and windows, awnings, canopies or ornamentation. The Sonic building design incorporates a cultured split-face block, windows, awnings and building projections, all achieving the intent of the Design Guidelines. BUILDING COLOR. Principal building colors should consist of subtle, neutral or muted color with low reflectance. The Sonic color scheme includes different shades of gray, which meets the Design Guidelines. FINDINGS OF FACT (Parking Variances) The applicant is proposing two variances per Code Section 9.1.10 (C) pertaining to parking setback requirements. The first is a 15-foot front yard setback variance, and the second is a 5-foot side yard setback variance. Section 1.104 (G) of the Columbia Heights Zoning Code requires that the City Council make each of the following five (5) findings before approving a variance: a) Because of the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to the provisions of this article would cause undue hardship. The sLtbject property is only 100 feet in width. This narrow configuration makes it extremely difficult to place a building, drive aisles, parking stalls and landscaping without needing a variance to do so. The shape of the property, therefore, drives the setback variance requests for parking. b) The conditions upon which the variance is based are unique to the specific parcel of land involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning classification. This property is unigzre in that the only access it has r.'s via the alleyway to the west. Being that the alley is the only access point, the building, parking stalls and drive aisles have to be placed specifically on the property to accommodate both the business and the general public. There are few other properties along Central Avenue where this is the case. c) The difficulty or hardship is caused by the provisions of this article and has not been created by auy ~ct~utt cuitctuty ttavttt~, a tc~at tuwtcnt 777 utc ~r7~Yotty. The provision of the City Code requires specific setback standards for parking that would make development on this property very difficult to manage. Althoatgh Border Foods split IS feet of land from this property in order to accommodate the Taco Bell development, those 1 S feet were needed to constrzrct the Taco Bell building with no variances. Border Foods was in the process of selling the subject parcel at 4910 Central Avenare, and did not know that they would be able to develop on this land until a few months ago. The overall lot widths for both 4900 and 4910 Central Avenue are not sa ffrcient to accommodate two developments without the need for a setback variance. 43 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 8 JANUARY 6, 2009 d) The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan. The Comprehensive Plan guides this property for commercial redevelopment. The granting of the variances would aide in fulfilling the goals of the Comprehensive Plan for this area. e) The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development or value of property or improvements in the vicinity. The granting of the variances woarld enable the development of a new restaurant on what is now undeveloped land. The requested variances will not be detrimental to the public welfare or use of properties in the vicinity. FINDINGS OF FACT (Monument Sign Variance) The applicant is also proposing a 24 square foot area variance for a monument sign per Code Section 9.106 (P)(12). Section 1.104 (G) of the Columbia Heights Zoning Code requires that the City Council make each of the following five (S) findings before approving a variance: a) Because of the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to the provisions of this article would cause undue hardship. The applicant stated that based on the highway speeds along Central Avenue, a 32-square feet LED sign would be the minimum functional size to attract patrons to the restaurant. In order to comply with the newly created Ordinance 1 X53, which requires that the LED portion of a monument sign be no more than SO% of the total sgarare footage of signage, the total signage was increased to 64 square feet in area. Another hardship on the property is that there is no entrance to this property from Central Avenue. A larger sign wozdld enable patrons to notice the business more appropriately so that they can enter the property from the alley. b) The conditions upon which the variance is based are unique to the specific parcel of land involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning classification. There are very few businesses along Central Avenue with access solely from the alley. The fact that there is no direct access to Central Avenue is a unique aspect of this property. c) The difficulty or hardship is caused by the provisions of this article and has not been created by any person currently having a legal interest in the property. People having a legal interest in the property have not created the hardship. The hardship has been created by the design of the exits and entrances to and from Central Avenate. d) The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan. The Comprehensive Plan garides this area for Commercial use. The granting of the variance would aid in the establishment of a permitted use in the General Business District. 44 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 9 JANUARY 6, 2009 e) The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development or value of property or improvements in the vicinity. The proposed monument sign will be located away from intersections and will not cause a negative impact on passersby or the general public. FINDINGS OF FACT (Site Plan Approval) Section 9.104 (N) of the Columbia Heights Zoning Code requires that the Planning Commission make each of the following four (4) findings before approving a site plan: 1. The site plan conforms to all applicable requirements of this article. As stated previously, the project site is located in the Design Overlay Highway District. There are two proposed deviations from the Design Guidelines for the construction of the Sonic Restaurant building as currently presented. They include the following: Building Placement. The Design Guidelines require the buildings to have awell-defined front facade with primary entrances facing the street. Buildings should be aligned so that the dominant lines of their facades parallel the line of the street and create a continuous edge. The Sonic building has awell-defined front facade facing Central Avenue, however, the dominant lines of the building do not face that direction. The dominant facades are perpendicular to Central Avenue rather than parallel, which does not meet the Design Guidelines criterion. After extensive research, Staff determined that the proposed placement of the building on the property is the only location that will adequately provide parking stalls and drive aisle placement, while still providing the adequate space for the building and drive-thru facilities. As stated previously, the orientation of the building and the location of the drive-thru elements are directly related. The applicant and staff agreed that locating the drive-thru elements correctly had a greater visual impact than orienting the building correctly. Building Seigh~ All buildings shall have a minimum cornice height of 22 feet in order to create an increased sense of enclosZCre and diminish the perceived width of the street. This also conveys a multi-story appearance even if the building has only one occupied floor. The majority of the Sonic building will be 16'-6" in height. The front entrance tower, however, will be 22 feet in height. The intent is to have the entire building a minimum of 22 feet in height in order to create atwo-story appearance. With the width of the Sonic building at 28 feet, raising the overall height to 22 feet creates a disproportional appearance to the building, causing it to look abnormal. The overall intent of the Design Guidelines is to create aesthetically appealing strzcctacres. The proposed building is proportional in shape and meets this intent. 2e The site plan is consistent with the applicable provisions of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The applicant's proposal is a commercial building, and therefore consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 3, The site plan is consistent with any applicable area plan. Currently, there is no area plan for the proposed project area. 45 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 10 JANUARY 6, 2009 4. The site plan minimizes any adverse impacts on property in the immediate vicinity and the public right-of--way. The proposed plans are consistent with the Zoning Code in regards to building setback and screening from adjacent residentially zoned parcels. For this reason, the site plan minimizes and adverse impacts on property in the immediate vicinity and public rights-of--way. Border Foods have worked closely with City Staff to present a proposal that is consistent with the intent of the Design Guidelines and the Zoning Ordinance. Staff feels that the end product will be an asset to the community, and will aid in the effort to redevelop older portions of Central Avenue. For these reasons, staff recommends approval of the site plan and minor subdivision. Questions from Members: Members asked if there would. be signage at 49t" and Central to direct traffic to the business. Sargent explained that signage on the corner most likely would not be allowed. He said that since Border Foods owns this site and the Taco Bell site, that maybe signage could be placed at the alley entrance on the Taco Bell Property. But that is something that would have to be reviewed if the need arises. Staff will do their best to work with Border Foods, but they don't know if it will be necessary to have directional signage at this time. Peterson questioned whether this type of business might cause excessive congestion at the alley and 49`" and SOt" Avenues. Sargent replied that he anticipates traffic issues especially when they first open just because people will see it as a novelty and want to try something new. But he said options are Limited to any business that would locate on this site because there is no access to it from Central Avenue. MNDOT has looked at it and has no major concerns. He said that if major problems occur it would be forwarded to the traffic commission for recommendations. Schmitt also was concerned with traffic and pedestrian traffic since it is so close to the Middle and High Schools. She stated that when the Sonic opened in Elk River they required Police assistance for at least 3 months due to traffic congestion. Schmitt said other cities have also required assistance and asked the representative, Barb Schneider, from Border Foods if they would be willing to pay for such service. Barb responded that she is aware of issues at some of the sites, especially when they first open. In these instances, Border Foods has paid for additional Managers, Consultants and Police to help direct traffic and ease parking situations. She stated that she doesn't have a traffic plan. with her for this meeting, but is confident that these problems will work themselves out. Schmitt asked what hours they operate. Barb Schneider stated they open for breakfast at 6 am and deliver to cars until 10 pm. The drive thru remains open until midnight. Members asked about the music that is played through a speaker system outside. Barb explained that they are very cognizant of being next to residential areas and that the speakers can be directed within the canopies and are individually adjusted. So far they haven't had any complaints regarding the music at other locations. When asked about employee parking due to size of the site, Barb stated that employee parking would most likely be off site. Szurek stated she has visited other Sonics on occasion and is pleased they chose to locate here. She was, however, concerned with servers skating in winter weather. Barb stated that Managers and employees make the decision when they can or cannot skate for safety reasons. 46 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 11 JANUARY 6, 2009 Peterson asked if the sign for the drive thru is a lit sign. Barb stated, it was, but did not have any moving parts. Sargent stated the sign is allowed under our Ordinance. Peterson then asked how the height of the monument sign compares to the Liquor Store's. He was told it would be the same height. Public Hearing Opened. No one was present to speak on this matter. Public Hearing Closed.

COUNCIL ACTION: 61 COLUMBIA HEIGHTS -CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: January 12, 2009 AGENDA SECTION: Consent ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER'S LIBRARY APPROVAL NO: ITEM: Renewal of contracts for BY: M. Rebecca Loader BY: .,~ ~ Public Library Services and Integrated DATE: January 6, 2009 DATE: Library System (ILS) Services with Anoka County Library NO: The City of Columbia Heights has three separate contracts for service between the Anoka County Library (ACL) and the Columbia Heights Public Library (CHPL): one for inter-library services, one for MELSA associate membership, and one for automation participation. The first and third contracts are being revised to address changes brought about by CHPL's Integrated Library System maintenance being split from ACL's in 2009 and to clean up language relating to the intra-County delivery. In the past, ACL performed all maintenance on the hardware for CHPL and fees were paid for services rendered. As ACL will be merging its IS Department with the County IS Department beginning in 2009 in a phase-in plan, the City's IS Department will take over maintenance of the in-house hardware and pc management systems. ~reement to Provide Public Library Services: • Section II, B, 3: addition of last sentence to paragraph: "Cost for provision of delivery services will be County Library responsibility as the recipient of MELSA funds which foster collaboration." • Section III, D: addition of last sentence to paragraph: "The City Library will receive a mutually agreed upon portion of funds from MELSA special projects (e.g. Library Services and Technology Act grants, donations to MELSA, Summer Reading Program allocations) for which member library reimbursements are made" Agreement for Integrated Librar~ystem Services: • Section IV, C, 1: deleted whole paragraph; replaced with "CHPL shall be responsible for paying its own telecommunications costs for access to the shared ILS and Internet Service Providers." • Section IV, C, 2: deleted whole paragraph; replaced with "For CHPL's dedicated telecommunication lines, costs will be based on actual expenses. In the event that telecommunication lines are shared between CHPL and ACL, costs will be pro-rated and E-rate and RLTA reimbursements will be calculated and returned to the applicable systems." • Section IV, D, 3: deleted whole paragraph dealing with Access Point Charge. • Section IV, E: deleted whole paragraph; replaced with "ACL reserves the right to make decisions regarding the continued operation and updating of the integrated library system. CHPL staff will participate in the decision-making. CHPL shall reimburse ACL for costs as outlined in Section IV, A." • Section XIII: new section DATA SECURITY added; "ACL and CHPL agree and guarantee each other that mutually agreed upon industry standards for data security in shared systems will 62 be maintained and adhered to at all times." The revised contract results in saving the approximately $20,000 in maintenance fees which would have been required if CHPL had had to contract with the County IS Department. All sections of the proposed contracts have been reviewed by the City Attorney and presented to the Columbia Heights Public Library Board of Trustees at their January 6, 2009, meeting.

The DTF is partially funded by a Federal Grant administered by the State of Minnesota. Part of this grant is for partial reimbursement of overtime incurred by the DTF officers. For the fourth quarter of 2008, we have received a check from Anoka County in the amount of $1,200 as partial reimbursement far the overtime of our DTF Officer. ANALYSIS/CONCLUSION Since the overtime dollars used to participate in this program were initially paid out of our 200$ Police Budget and because, according to the Finance Director, the funds received from the State to repay this expenditure are initially considered revenue, they must be placed in the General Fund. The Police Department is requesting that the funds received from Anoka County, $1,200, be moved back into our 2008 Police Department Budget line 1020, Overtime, from the General Fund. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to tra~lsfer $1,200, the amount of money received from Anoka County as partial reimbursement for overtime worked. by our member in the Anoka/HeinlepinDnig Task Force, for the fourth quarter of 2008 from the General Fund to the Police Department 2008 Budget line 1020, Overtime.

State statutes require the newspaper to be published at least twice monthly. Statutes also limit the amount the newspaper can charge, to the rate paid by commercial users. Based on this, there are three newspapers serving Columbia Heights that meet the criteria: Sun Focus News, the Northeaster, and the Star Tribune. Based on rates charged to commercial customers, Sun Focus News is the least expensive alternative. The Star Tribune's 2009 rate is $4.75 per line for legal notices. The following is a comparison of the 2008 rates to the 2009 rates for the Sun Focus News: 2008 Rate 2009 Rate One Column Width: Per line, first insertion 0.99 0.99 ($9.90 per col. inch) Per line, subsequent insertion 0.55 0.55 ($5.50 per col. inch) Neither the Star Tribune nor the Sun Focus News has increased their rates for 2009. The Northeaster once again declined to provide a quote. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to designate Sun Focus News as the official City newspaper for 2009 and to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement with Sun Focus News for required publications.

As a matter of good accounting and reporting practice, staff recommends that Council authorize transfers to close out these funds and combine their limited remaining functions, if any, into other existing funds. In addition, updates to the terms of certain interfund loans are required to reflect changes in the underlying events. The particular circumstance for each recommended transaction is detailed below. Staff also recommends that these transfers be effective December 31, 2008 to avoid carrying most of these items into the 2009 fiscal year. Approximate dollar amounts are listed below for the Council's reference, because all 2008 transactions are not yet recorded and audited. The attached resolution uses language intended to capture the entire fund balance of each of these funds after all 2008 transactions have been finalized. Staff has tried to make this list as complete as possible at this time. However, as the 2008 yearend accounting is completed over the next couple months, additional 2008 items of this nature may come to light that will be brought to the Council at such time. 1) Transfer ending fund balance (approz. $45,000) of Fund 887 Flex Benefit to the General Fund 101, and reclassify the Flez Benefit activity as part of the General Fund. Reason: When the flex benefit program was started several years ago there was no historical. trend on which to project net plan costs. Consequently, internal funding in prior years exceeded net plan costs creating the current fund balance. In early 2008 staff analyzed cost trends of the plan and determined this prior fund balance was not required to cover future plan costs. 2008 and subsequent funding is expected to cover 2008 and subsequent plan costs. The very minimal amount of plan assets and. liabilities remaining after the transfer will be reported in the CAFR as part of the General fund. 2) Transfer the ending fund balance (appro~, $60,000) of Fund 250 ~.13.A.S.E. to Fund 261 After School Programs Reason: Fund 250 C.H.A.S.E has had no activity f balance represents unspent fees charged to recreatio were grant funded. To satisfy the grantor's intent, additional activities of the same type. Fund 261 activities. or several years. The remaining fund n program participants in activities that this fund balance should be used for provides the same type of recreation 88 Page 2 3) Transfer ending fund balance (approz. $262,000) of Fund 290 Parking Ramp Assessments to Fund 405 Downtown Parking Maintenance (approz. $114,000 deficit.) Reason: These two funds were apparently created in the accounting system for the same activity. Fund 290 has the only assets for the activity and Fund 405 has received all the expenses of the activity. Note that this transfer only conforms the accounting system, these two funds have been combined into one column in the CAFR for several years. 4) Transfer ending fund balances of TIF Fund 386 (approz $5,000) and TIF Fund 370 (approz $25,000) to 1'IF Fund 379 (approz. $176,000) Reason: These three funds were created in the accounting system to account for TIF districts numbered by Anoka County as P4, S7, and P3 respectively. However, these three districts are all part of the same activity -the Scattered Site TIF -and they are combined into one TIF district report by the City's TIF consultant. The latter two have also been combined in the CAFR for a few years, but not in the accounting system. Additionally, these TIF districts have had no remaining eligible obligations for some time. The City's TIF reporting consultant and TIF attorney both recommended that the EDA decertify them almost two years ago. These funds will have to be repaid to Anoka County and the City will then receive back its proportional share without TIF restrictions. 5) Transfer ending fund balance (if any, approz. $-0-) of Fund 436 Liquor Capital Construction to Fund 439 Liquor Debt Service. Reason: The construction phase of the new liquor store project is completed, so there is no purpose to continue fund 436. 6) Forgive the $600,000 interfund loan (reference resolution 2004-04) from City Fund 390 Four Cities Bonds to Fund 204 EDA Administration as follows: $581,962.50 in payment for the City's acquisition of the EDA's share of 825 41st Avenue NE, calculated at the 01/01/08 carrying value $18,037.50 as a transfer to close out the loan Reason: The City made this loan to the EDA to purchase the former NEI property in 2004. In 2008, the City began to use the property for the new Public Safety Building. 7) Transfer all the component pieces of the land at 825 41st Avenue that are held by City and the EDA funds, calculated at the 01/01/08 carrying value including capitalized demolition costs, to Fund 417 Public Safety Building Construction as follows: • $581,962.50 from Fund 204 EDA Administration • $365,585.87 from Fund 202 Anoka County CDBG • $ 23,877.88 from Fund 420 Capital Improvement Development Reason: In 2008, the City began to use the property for the new Public Safety Building. 8) Transfer ending fund balance (approz. $7,000) of Fund 390 Four Cities Bonds to Fund 401 Capital Improvement Fund 89 Page 3 Reason: Fund 390 has had no activity for several years other than the interfiznd loan forgiven in the above item 6. Note that this transfer only conforms the accounting system, these two funds have been combined into one column in the CAFR for a few years. 9) Transfer ending fund balance (approz. $158,000) of Fund 299 EDA Business Revolving Loans to Fund 204 EDA Administration Reason: Substantially all of the activities for which Fund 299 was created ended in prior years. Its only current activity is the on-going collection of an interfund loan made to the K2 TIF District Multi-Use Redevelopment Project (MURP.) That loan collection activity will also be transferred to and continued by Fund 204 EDA Administration by this action. 10) Forgive $400,000 of the $800,000 interfund loan (reference resolution 2004-60) from City Fund 420 Capital Improvement Development to Fund 204 EDA Administration, making the $400,000 forgiven a 2008 transfer. Reason: The City made an $800,000 loan to the EDA to purchase the former Burger King property at 3939 Central in 2004. After the building was demolished, the value of the property was reduced. by nearly half. The amount by which the loan exceeds the value of the property has created a deficit in EDA Fund 204, as the EDA has no significant source from which to repay the loan other than the property. In order to comply with accounting standards, it is likely that the City's Auditor will expect this loan to be written down to the amount collectible. 11) Loan $930,227 from Fund 431 Capital Equipment Replacement General Government to Fund 411 Capital Improvement General Government Buildings at 0% interest. Reason: This is temporary internal financing for the 2008-2009 Murzyn Hall renovation project. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following motions: RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2009-01 there being ample copies available to the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 2009-01 being a resolution to authorize certain interfund transfers and interfund loan terms.

Peterson Attest: Patricia Muscovitz, CMC City Clerk 92 CITY COUNCIL LETTER MEETING OF: January 12, 2009 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT ORIGINATING DEPT: CITY MANAGER NO: FINANCE APPROVAL ITEM: TELEPHONE SYSTEM CONSULTANT BY: WILLIAM ELRITE BY:~ NO: fi't' ~'` . DATE: DECEMBER 30, 2008 Back round The last upgrade to the City's telephone system began in 1998. At that time requests for proposals for a consultant were submitted and three proposals from consulting firms were received. The cost range of these proposals was a low of $11,500 from Elert & Associates to a high of $22,450 from Haigh, Todd & Associates. Based on that, Elert & Associates was selected to evaluate the City's telephone needs and prepare a request for bids. In October 1999 the City's current telephone system was purchased from Mitel at a cost of $109,569. It was projected that the system would last between 10 and 12 years. At the present time this system is basically obsolete as it has not been in production for several years, no software upgrades are available, and parts are limited to only what is available on the market. With the construction of the public safety building and the need for a phone system at that location, it is time to review and analyze the overall City system and replace it with a current state-of--the-art telecommunications system. Current Need The current telephone system could possibly last an additional two years. However, with the construction of the public safety building we are faced with the need for phone service in the new building. It would not be cost- effective to hire a consultant to perform a request for proposals for a system in the new public safety building when we are looking at replacing the citywide system within the next two years. Subsequently, we are looking at purchasing of a new phone system that will fulfill the needs of the new public safety building, City Nall, the Library, Murzyn Hall and Public Works. Current Situation Staff has contacted Elert & Associates and has received a new proposal to perform a needs assessment/ schematic design (Phase I), a detailed specification/recommendation (Phase II), and implementation including database collection and preparation (Phase Ia). Elert & Associates was selected because of our longstanding relationship with them, the excellent service they have provided in the past, and because they have traditionally been the lowest cost consultant. Their fee proposal is broken down into three phases as listed below. Phase I Needs Assessment/Schematic Design $ 7,770 Phase II Preparation of Detailed Specifications and Recommendations $1.0,980 Subtotal $ 18,750 Phase Ia Implementation/Database Collection and Preparation $ 8,100 Attached are excerpts from the proposal explaining Phases I, II, and Ia in more depth. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a contract with Elert & Associates for consulting? work to include determining specifications for a netiv telephone system. writing a ~ 1 ./ ~ V request for proposals, preparing a detailed telephone database, and aiding with the implementation of the new system per their proposal at a cast of $26,850.

Elect & Associates Page 8 97 City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota Telecommunications Consulting Proposal Phase Ia: Database Collection and Preparation (Optional) Compiling a telephone database is a critical step in the installation of a phone system (either traditional TDM or IP). The database contains important information about each telephone, such as current phone type, extension number, line appearances, forwarding and call routing details, use of special recording devices, headsets, handsets for the hard of hearing, etc. The information in this database will be used to populate the new telephone system; therefore, its accuracy and level of detail are critical to the success of the project. Inventorying telephones has always been a challenge in phone system studies, and with the advent of convergence, the vendor space has changed. Most vendors today erect the customer to complete the telephone inventory and prepare the database. Elert & Associates has made it a practice to require that the vendors perform this function. In the past, this has been a very successful model. however, recently we've found that vendors see it as an unusual process. Their normal practice is to have the customer fill out the database forms. Unfortunately, most customers do not know the capabilities of the new system, and the end result is a plain vanilla database and a system in which the customer simply doesn't use all the features that are available. Even when E&A requires the vendor to perform this function, the results may not be adequate. Most vendors are simply not good at it, perhaps because it is not part of their typical process. Rather than forcing the issue, Elert & Associates now offers our clients the option to have E&A perform the telephone inventory and collect the information for the database. Completing this step prior to the bidding process provides several benefits: • Reduced prices from vendors when they understand this work is already done. • More accurate prices because the inventory and applications are identified. • Fewer surprises in the installation process -Unusual applications are discovered and accounted for in the initial process. • Better application delivery - E&A has the experience of implementing voice solutions and can identify areas where applications are needed. As a result, you get more from your investment. • Employee meirtoring -Your employee can accompany E&A's staff in the process to learn and gain insight. • E911 database is prepared in advance, avoiding expensive after the-fact reprogramming and the last minute `Fscramble" to complete. It may seem Like this process adds further consulting time, but in reality, it ensures that you get TYin'1"P (Yi i'{' f1T [ltli il" Yi'IZ7P.CtYYlf?i94'. .....a....,..., ...~ ., ..»~ .Y.. ~.. _______..

Hansen ,; ~~, BY: '~,%•~" PURCHASES DATE: January 7, 2009 ~`~- DATE: Background: Public Works has several purchases that are routine in nature and repetitive each year but require Council approval because they exceed the charter limitation of $IS,000. Staff is requesting authorization to process blanket purchase orders for 2009 to cover the items described herein. Analysis/Conclusions: The adopted 2009 Public Works Budget has the following amounts established for de-icing salt and fuel: 2009 Budgeted Amounts • De-icing salt for sanding operations $ 37,665 • Fuel for City vehicles $152,750 • Bituminous Asphalt far patching and paving $ 49,500 • Water Stop Box Repairs $ 70,000 Public Works Department purchases salt off of the State of Minnesota Contract, which is bid for the 2008-2009 winter season for multiple municipalities. The 2008-2009 contract for salt is in effect from June 7, 2008 until June 7, 2009, so the vendor and unit price may change. The current contract supplier is Cargill. In the past, the City has purchased is unleaded and diesel fuel off of the Anolca County Cooperative Purchasing Contract. This year the fuel purchasing is offered as a State of Minnesota Contract, with multiple cities and counties participating. The City will purchase 60% its fuel off the state contract and the remainder off the lowest available purchasing contract, which in recent years has been Anoka County. For street patching and repairs, staff obtains unit price bids for asphalt materials annually and in 2008, the primary source was Commercial Asphalt. For delinquent accounts and foreclosed properties, the City repairs water stop box repairs in accordance with City ordinance. Pricing for curb stop repairs is provided on a unit price basis for a two-year term. Recommended Motion: Move approval to authorize staff to process blanket purchase orders in an amount not-to- exceed the 2009 budget amounts for: • De-icing salt for salt/sanding operations purchased off the State of Minnesota Purchasing Contract, and • Fuel (unleaded and diesel} for City Vehicles from the State of Minnesota Purchasing Contract and the Anoka COUNCIL ACTION: 108 CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting o£ 1/12/09 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT AGENDA NO: ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS CITY MANAGER ITEM: PUBLIC WORKS BLANKET ORDERS FOR 2009 i BY: K.

Hansen BY: ~ THE WATER SUPPLY PLAN - V4'ATER EMERGENCY DATE: 01/06/20 DATE: AND CONSERVATION PLAN Background: The Metropolitan Land Planning Act requires local governments to prepare comprehensive plans and submit them to the Metropolitan Council to determine their consistency with metropolitan system plans. One element of these plans must address municipal water systems. Minnesota Statute 473.$59 requires Water Supply Plans (also referred to as Water Emergency and Conservation Plans) to be completed for all local units of government in the seven-county Metropolitan Area as part of the local comprehensive planning process. Additionally, MiruZesota Statute 103G.291 requires all public water suppliers that serve more than 1,000 people to have a Water Supply Plan approved by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). See attached letter from the MNDNR dated May 13, 2005 detailing tl~e submittal requirements for the City Water Supply Plan. Analysis/Conclusions: Staff prepared the Columbia Heights' Water Supply Plan on the required template and submitted it to the MNDNR and Metropolitan Council by the due date of October 15`x', 2007. After responding to comments and revising the plan, the plan was resubmitted and approved by the DNR and Met Council in May of 2008 - reference attached letter from the MNDNR. Tl~e Water Supply Plan consists of four parts: Part 1: Water supply system description and evaluation Part 2: Emergency response, procedures Part 3: Conservation plan Part 4: Metropolitan Land Planning Act requirements. Part 1 provides detail on historic and cun•ent demand and supply and trends. This infannation is then used to develop Emergency response procedures and Conservation planning in sections 2 and 3. Section 2 also defines procedures for demand reduction based on stages of severity as defined. in table 9. Section 3 includes regulatory and educational measures intended to reduce the demand for water. Columbia Heights current consumption is well below local and national averages per capita and peak demand.

Minnesota Statutes 103G.291, require public watex suppliers serving more than 1,000 people to have a Water Emergency and Conservation Plan approved by the Deparhnent of Natural Resources (DNR). A Water Supply Plan is also a required element of Metro Area Community Local Comprehensive Plans. Plans were initially due January 1, 1996 and are required to be updated every ten years. A number of changes have been made for the second generation of plans. Enclosed is a copy of the template for developing your Water Emergency and Conservation Plan and Metropolitan Council Water Supply Plan. Electronic copies of the template along with other materials for developing for a plan are available at the DNR Waters web site: www.dnr.state.mn.us/waters. The first generation of Water Emergency and Conservation Plans were due January 1, 1996, but having all the plans submitted at the same time was problematic due to the tremendous workload and limited DNR staffing. To address this issue a schedule was established to spread out the review of plans over three years. The due date for your plan is: COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, CITY OF -October 15th, 2007 Plans can be submitted for approval prior to the due date. Please contact the DNR Area Hydrologist (see attached list} for the county in which your community is located if you have questions or concerns regarding the due date for your plan. The instructions included with the plan provide information on where to submit the plan, For Metropolitan Area communities, the Water Supply Plan is a required element of their Local Comprehensive Plan and will be due with all other elements in 2008. The Water Supply Plan should be submitted to the Metropolitan Council at the same time the Water Emergency and Conservation Plan is submitted for the DNR due date. If forecasts change before submittal of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan an amended water supply plan will need to be included at that time. Please contact Chris Elvrum at (651) 602-1066 if you have questions about the Metropolitan Council's requirements. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Joe Richter at 651/296-0512 or the Area Hydrologist for the county in which your community is located. ~, oi< .,.r~cer,.~y~, DNR Waters James Japs Assistant Director DNRInI'ormation:651-3~)6-6157 ~ 1-88&646-6367 TTY: 651-?96-5454 1-800-657-39?9 :\n Pyual Ohpuruuiity I:mhl~~yer 1 -~' Printed on Rccyrlc~I Paper Cuntainin~~ a 4`~~~~ ~~lininuun n(IU~, Pust-Cunsunur Waste DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES -DIVISION OF WATERS and METROPOLITAN COUNCIL WATER EMERGENCY AND CONSERVATION PLANS These guidelines are divided into four parts.

RESOURCE SUSTAINABILITY __ Sustainable water use: use of water to provide for the needs of society, now and in~ the future, without unacceptable social, economic, or environmental consequences. Monitoring. Records of water levels should be maintained for all production wells and source water reservoirs/basins. Water level readings should be taken monthly for a production well or observation well that is representative of the wells completed in each water source formation. If water levels are not currently measured each year, a monitoring plan that includes a schedule for water level readings must be submitted Re;~enT-- , TABLE 6 Monitoring Wells -List all wells bein>; measured Unique well number Type of well (production, observation Frequency of Measurement dail , monthl etc. Method of Measurement (steel to e, SCADA etc. None NA 5 119 Water Level Data.

Also include all water level data taken during well and um maintenance. Ground Water Level Monitoring -DNR Waters in conjunction with federal and local units of government maintain and measure approximately 750 observation wells around the state. Ground water level data are available online www.dnr.state.mn.us/waters. Information is also available by contacting the Ground Water Level Monitoring Manager, DNR Waters, 500 Lafayette Road, St. Paul, MN 55155-4032 or call (651) 259-5700. Natural Resource Impacts. Indicate any natural resource features such as calcareous- fens; wetlands, trout streams, rivers or surface water basins that are or could be influenced by water withdrawals from municipal production wells. Also indicate if resource protection thresholds have been established and if miti ation measures or mans ement Tans have been develo ed. There are no known natural resources which are being affected by Columbia Heights water use. Sustainability. Evaluate the adequacy of the resource to sustain current and projected demands. Describe an modelin conducted to determine im acts of ro'ected demands on the resource. The water consumption on the Columbia Heights and Minneapolis system has decreased and is not expected to reach historic levels any time in the near future. Source Water Protection Plans.

Are water supply installations, treatment facilities and distribution systems adequate to sustain current and projected demands? ®Yes ^ No If no, describe any potential capital improvements over the next ten years and state the reasons for the proposed changes (CII' Attachment B). Proposed Water Sources. Does your current CIP include the addition. of new wells or intakes? ^ Yes ®No If yes, list the number of new installations and projected water demands from each for the next ten years. Plans for new production wells must include the geologic source formation, well location, and proposed pumping capacity. Water Source Alternatives. If new water sources are being proposed, describe alternative sources that were considered and any possibilities. of joint efforts with neighboring communities for develo went of su lies. There are currently no plans to use alternative sources of water for Columbia Heights system. Preventative Maintenance. Long-term preventative programs and measures will help reduce the risk of emergency situations. Identify sections of the system that are prone to failure due to age, materials or other problems. This information should be used to prioritize capital improvements, preventative maintenance, and to determine the types of materials (pipes, valves, couplings, etc.) to have iri stock to reduce repair time. The major portion of revenue received from the sale of water is paid to the City of Minneapolis for purchase of water. The remaining portion of revenue is used to maintain the City's distribution system and a modest replacement fund. 121 PART II. EMERGENCY RESPONSE PRC3CECURES Water emergencies can occur as a result of vandalism, sabotage, accidental contamination, mechanical problems, power failures, drought, flooding, and other natural disasters. The purpose of emergency planning is to develop emergency response procedures and to identify actions needed to improve emergency preparedness. Irt the case of a municipality, these procedures should be in support of, and part of, anall-hazard emergency operations plan. If your community already has written procedures dealing with water emergencies we recommend that you use these guidelines to review and update existing procedures and water supply protection measures. Federal Emergency Response Plan Section 1433(b) of the Safe Drinking Water Act as amended by the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-188, Title IV -Drinking Water Security and Safety) requires community water suppliers serving over 3,300 people to prepare an Emergency Response Plan. Community water suppliers that have completed the Federal Emergency Response Plan and submitted the required certification to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have satisfied Part II, Sections A, B, and C of these guidelines and need only provide the information below regarding the emergency response plan and source water protection plan and complete Sections D (Allocation and Demand Reduction Procedures), and E (Enforcement). Provide the following information regarding your completed Federal Emergency Response Plan: Emer enc Res once Plan Contact Person Contact Number Emergency Res onse Lead Kevin Hansen 763 706-3705 Alternate Emergency Res onse Lead Lauren McClanahan (763) 706-3711 Emer enc Res onse Plan Certification Date December 1 S, 1996 Operational Contutgency Plan. An operational contingency plan that describes measures to be taken for water supply mainline breaks and other common system failures as well as routine maintenance is recommended for all utilities. Check here ®if the utility has an operational contingency plan. At a minimum a contact list for contractors and supplies should be included in a water emergency telephone list. Communities that have completed Federal Emergency Response Plans should skip to Section D. 8 122 E1t~TERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURES A. Emergency Telephone List. A telephone list of emergency contacts must be included as Attachment C to the plan (complete template or use your own list). The list should include key utility and community personnel, contacts in adjacent communities, and appropriate local, state and federal emergency contacts. Please be sure to verify and update the contacts on the emergency telephone list on a regular basis (once each year recommended). In the case of a municipality, this information should be contained in a notification and warning standard operating procedure maintained by the warning point for that community. Responsibilities and services for each contact should be defined. B. Current Water Sources and Service Area. Quick access to concise and detailed information on water sources, water treatment, and the distribution system may be needed in an emergency. System operation, water well and maintenance records should be maintained in a central secured location so that the records are accessible for emergency purposes and preventative maintenance. A detailed map of the system showing the treatment plants, water sources, storage facilities, supply lines, interconnections, and other information that would be useful in an emergency should also be readily available. Check here ^ if these records and maps exist and staff can access the documents in the event of an emergency. C. Procedure for Augmentiun.g Water Supplies. List all available sources of water that can be used #o augment or replace existing sources in an emergency. In the case of a municipality, this information should be contained in a notification and warning standard operating procedure maintained by the warning point for that community. Copies of cooperative agreements should be maintained with your copy of the plan and include in Attachment . Be sure to include information on any physical or chemical problems that may limit interconnections to other sources of water. Approvals from the MN Department of Health are required for interconnections and reuse of water.

The plan must include procedures to address gradual decreases in water supply as well as emergencies and the sudden loss of water due to line breaks, power failures, sabotage, etc. During periods of limited water supplies public water suppliers are required to allocate water based on the priorities established in Minnesota Statutes 103G.261. Water Use Priorities (Minnesota Statutes 103G.261) First Priority. Domestic water supply, excluding industrial and commercial uses of municipal water supply, and use for power production that meets contingency requirements. NOTE: Domestic use is defined (MN Rules 6115.0630, Subp. 9), as use for general household purposes for human needs such as cooking, cleaning, drinking, washing, and waste disposal, and uses for on-farm livestock watering excluding commercial livestock operations which use more than ] 0,000 gallons per day or one million gallons per year. Second Priority. Water uses involving consumption of less than 10,000 gallons per day. Third Priority. Agricultural imgation and processing of agricultural products. Fourth Priority. Power production in excess of the use provided for in the contingency plan under first priority. Fifth Priority. Uses, other than agricultural irrigation, processing of agricultural products, and power production. Sixth Priority. Non-essential uses. These uses are defined by Minnesota Statutes 103G.291 as lawn sprinkling, vehicle washing, golf course. and~ark irrigation, and other non-essential_uses. List the statutory water use priorities along with any local priorities (hospitals, nursing homes, etc.) in Table 8. Water used for human needs at hospitals, nursing homes and similar types of facilities should be designated as a high priority to be maintained in an emergency. Local allocation priorities will need to address water used for human needs at other types of facilities such as hotels, office buildings, and manufacturing plants. The volume of water and other types of water uses at these facilities must be carefully considered. After reviewing the data, common sense should dictate local allocation priorities to protect domestic requirements over certain types of economic needs. In Table 8, list the priority ranking, average day demand and demand reduction potential for each customer category (modify customer categories if necessary). Table 8 Water Use Priorities Customer Category Allocation Priority Average Day Demand GPD Demand Reduction Potential GPD Residential 1 1,220,000 130,000 Institutional CII Commercial CII 2 230,000 0 Industrial CII Irri ation w noiesale Non-essential 6 TOTALS 1,450,000 130,000 GPD -Lallans per Day 10 124 Demand Reduction Potential. The demand reduction potential for residential use will typically be the base demand during the winter months when water use for non-essential uses such as fawn watering do not occur. The difference between summer and winter demands rvpicatly defines the demand reduction that can be achieved by eliminating non-essential uses. In extreme emergency situations Lower priority water uses must he restricted or eliminated to protect first priority domestic water requirements. Short-term demand reduction potential should be based on average day demands for customer cate orie. within each priority class Triggers for Allocation and Demand Reduction Actions. Triggering levels must be defined for implementing emergency responses, including supply augmentation, demand reduction, and water allocation. Examples of triggers include: water demand >100% of storage, water level in well{s) below a certain elevation, treatment capacity reduced 10% etc. Each trigger should have a quantifiable indicator and actions can have multiple stages such as mild, moderate and severe responses. Check each trigger below that is used for implementing emergency responses and for each trigger indicate the actions to be taken at various levels or stages of severity in Table 9. ^ Water Demand ^ Water Main Break ^ Treatment Capacity ^ Loss of Production Storage Capacity ^ Security Breach Groundwater Levels ® Contamination ® Surface Water Flows or Levels ^ Other (list in Table 9} ^ Pump, Booster Station or Well Out of Service ® Governor's Executive Order -Critical Water Deficiency (required by statute) Table 9 Demand Reduction Procedures Condition Tri er s Actions Stage 1 Ongoing Odd-Even watering and irrigation of lawns ild Stage 2 Surface Water Follow Minneapolis requirements or odd-even watering (Moderate) Flows and irrigation of lawns Stage 3 Surface Water Total ban on irrigation of lawns and other non-essential Severe Flows uses.

Minnesota Statutes require public water supply authorities to adopt and enforce water conservation restrictions during periods of critical water shortages. Public Water Supply Appropriation During Deficiency. Minnesota Statutes 103G.291, Subdivision 1. Declazation and conservation. (a) [f the governor determines and declares by executive order that there is a critical water deficiency, public water supply authorities appropriating water must adopt and enforce water conservation restrictions within their jurisdiction that are consistent with rules adopted by the commissioner. (b) The restrictions must limit lawn sprinkling, vehicle washing, golf course and park imgation, and other nonessential uses, and have approbate penalties for failure to comply with the restrictions. An ordinance that has been adopted or a draft ordinance that can be quickly adopted to comply with the critical water deficiency declaration must be included in the plan (include with other ordinances in Attachment 7 for Part III, Item 4). Enforcement responsibilities and penalties for non-compliance should be addressed in the critical water deficiency ordinance. Sample regulations are available at www.dnr.state.mn.us/waters Authority to Implement Water Emergency Responses. Emergency responses could be delayed if city council or utility board actions are required. Standing authority for utility or city managers to implement water restrictions can improve response times for dealing with emergencies. Who has authority to implement water use restrictions in an emergency? ^ Utility Manager ®City Manager ^ City Council or Utility Board ^ Other (describe): Emergency Preparedness. If city or utility managers do not have standing authority to implement water emergency responses, please indicate any intentions to delegate that authority. Also indicate any other measures that are being considered to reduce delays for implementing 12 126 PART III. WATER CONSERVATION PLAN Water conservation programs are intended to reduce demand for water, improve the efficiency in use and reduce losses and waste of water. Lang-term conservation measures that improve overall water use efficiencies can help reduce the need for short-term conservation measures. Water conservation is an important part of water resource management and can also help utility managers satisfy the ever-increasing demands being placed on water resources. Minnesota Statutes 1030.291, requires public water suppliers to implement demand reduction measures before seeking approvals to construct new wells or increases in authorized volumes of water. Minnesota Rules 6115.0770, require water users to employ the best available means and practices to promote the efficient use of water. Conservation programs can be cost effective when compared to the genera]ly higher costs of developing new sources of supply or expanding water and/or wastewater treatment plant capacities A. Conservation Goals. The following section establishes goals for various measures of water demand. The programs necessary to achieve the goals will be described in the following section. Unaccounted Water (calculate five eaz averages with data from Table 1) Average annual volume unaccounted water for the last 5 ears NA allons Avera e ercent unaccounted water for the last S years NA ercent AWWA recommends that unaccounted water not exceed 10%. Describe goals to reduce unaccounted water if the avera a of the last 5 years exceeds 10%. The City's unaccounted water falls below the 10% level Residential Gallons Per Ca ita Demand GPCD Avera e residential GPCD use for the last 5 years (use data from Table 1) 68.5 GPCD In 2002, average residential GPCD use in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area was 75 GPCD. Describe goals to reduce residential demand if the average for the last 5 ears exceeds 75 GPCD. During the last ten years the residential demand has decreased from approximately 80 GPCD to approximately 66 GPCD. Total Per Capita Demand: From Table 1, is the trend in overall per capita demand over the past 10 years ~ increasing or ®decreasing? If total GPCD is increasing, describe the goals to lower overall per capita demand or explain the reasons for the increase. Peak Demands calculate avera e ratio for last five yeazs using data from Table 1) Avera e maximum day to avera e day ratio 1.44/1.79 If eak demands exceed a ratio of 2.6, describe the Dale for lowerin eak demands. During the last 6 years the rates of high quarter water use to low quarter water use average was a proximate) 1.4 to 1.0. The 2005 and 2006 Maximum Day to Avera e Day = 1.79 13 127 B. Water Conservation Programs. Describe all short-term conservation measures that are available far use in an emergency and long-term measures to improve water use efficiencies for each of the six conservation pro~-am elements listed below. Short-term demand reduction measures must be included in the emergency response procedures and must be in support of. and part of, a community all-hazard emergency operation plan. 1. Metering. The American Water Works Association (AWWA) recommends that every water utility meter all water taken into its system and all water distributed from its system at its customer's point of service. An effective metering program relies upon periodic performance testing, repair, repair and maintenance of all meters. AWWA also recommends that utilities conduct regular water audits to ensure accountability. Complete Table 10 (A) regarding the number and maintenance of customer meters. TABLE 10 (A) Customer Meters Number of Connections Number of Metered Connections Meter testing schedule (years) Average age/meter replacement schedule years) Residential 6017 6017 10 Institutional 31 31 10 Commercial 267 267 10 Industrial 3 3 10 Public Facilities 33 33 10 Other TOTALS 6351 6351 Unmetered Systems. Provide an estimate of the cost to install meters and the projected water savings from metering water use. Also indicate any plans to install meters.

Badger Magneto Flow 16" around 4/4/03. 14 128 2. Unaccounted Water. Water audits are intended to identify, quantify, and verify water and revenue losses. The volume of unaccounted-for water should be evaluated each billing cycle. The AWWA recommends a goal often percent or tens for unaccounted-for water. Water audit procedures are available from the AWWA and MN Rural Water Association. Frequency of water audits: ^ each billing cycle ^ yearly ®other: As Required Leak detection and survey: ^every year ^ every years ®periodic as needed Year last leak detection survey completed: Reducing Unaccounted Water. List potential sources and efforts being taken to reduce unaccounted water. If unaccounted water exceeds 10% of total withdrawals, include the timeframe for completing work to reduce unaccounted water to 10% or less. The City is currently replacing turbo meters with compound meters on several commercial accounts in order to capture low flow volumes. 3. Conservation Water Rates. Plans must include the current rate structure for all customers and provide information on any proposed rate changes. Discuss the basis for current price levels and rates, including cost of service data, and the impact current rates have on conservation. Billing Frequency: ^ Monthly ^ Bimonthly ®Quarterly ^ Other (describe): Volume included in base rate or service charge: 0 gallons or 0 cubic feet Conservation Rate Structures ^ Increasing block rate: rate per unit increases as water use increases ^ Seasonal rate: higher rates in summer to reduce peak demands ^ Service charge or base fee that does not include a water volume Conservation Neutral Rate Structure ® Uniform rate: rate per unit is the same regardless of volume Non-conserving Rate Structures ^ Service charge or base fee that includes a large volume of water ^ Declining block rate: rate per unit decreases as water use increases ^ Flat rate: one fee regardless of how much water is used (unmetered) Uther (describe): Water Rates Evaluated: ®every year ^ every years ^ no schedule Date of last rate change: 8/1/07 See Rate Schedule in Appendix. 15 129 Declining black (the more water used, the cheaper the rate} and flat (one fee for an unlimited volume of water) rates should be phased out and replaced with conservation rates. Incorporating a seasonal rate structure and the benefits of a monthly billing cycle should also be considered along with the development of an emergency rate structure that could be quickly implemented to encourage conservation in an emergency. Current Water Rates. Include a copy of the actual rate structure in Attachment D or list current water rates including base/service fees and volume charges below. See Rate Schedule in Appendix Non-conserving Rate Structures. Provide justification for the rate structure and its impact on reducing demands or indicate intentions including the timeframe for adopting a conservation rate structure. Neutral Rate Structure 4. Regulation. Plans should include regulations for short-teen reductions in demand and long-term improvements in water efficiencies. Sample regulations are available from DNR Waters. Copies of adopted regulations or proposed restrictions should be included in Attachment C of the plan. Indicate any of the items below that are required by local regulations and also indicate if the requirement is applied each year or just in emergencies. ^ Time of Day: no watering between am/pm and am/pm (reduces evaporation} ^ year around ^ seasonal ~ emergency only ® Odd/Even: (helps reduce peak demand) ^ year around ^ seasonal ^ emergency only ^ Water waste prohibited (no runoff from irrigation systems) Describe ordinance: ^ Limitations on turf areas for landscaping (reduces high water use turf areas) Describe ordinance: ^ Soil preparation (such as 4"-6" of organic soil on new turf areas with sandy soil) Describe ordinance: ^ Tree ratios (plant one tree for every square feet to reduce turf evapo transpiration) Describe ordinance: ^ Prohibit irrigation of medians or areas less than 8 feet wide Describe ordinance: ^ Permit required to fill swimming pool ^ every year ^ emergency only ^ Other (describe): 16 130 State and Federal Regulations (mandated) ® Rainfall sensors on landscape irrigation systems. Minnesota statute I o3G.298 requires °`All automatically operated landscape irrigation systems shall have furnished and installed technology that inhibits or interrupts operation of the landscape irrigation system during periods of sufficient moisture. "1'lte technology must be adjustable either by the end user or the professional practitioner of landscape irrigation services." ® Water Efficient Plumbing Fixtures. The 1992 Federal Energy Policy Act established manufacturing standards for water efficient plumbing fixtures, including toilets, urinals, faucets, and aerators. Enforcement. Are ordinances enforced? ®Yes ^ No If yes, indicate how ordinances are enforced along with any penalties for non-compliance. See Ordinances 17 131 5. Education and Information Programs. Customers should be provided information on how to improve water use efficiencies a minimum of two times per year. Information should be provided at appropriate times to address peak demands. Emergency notices and educational materials on how to reduce water use should be available for quick distribution during an emergency. If any of the methods listed in the table below are used to provide water conservation tips, indicate the number of times that information is provided each year and attach a list of education efforts used for the last three years. Current Education Pro rams Times/Year Billing inserts or ti s tinted on the actual bill Consumer Confidence R orts 1 Local news a ers Community news letters 2 Direct mailin s water audit/retrofit kits, shawerheads, brochures} Information at utilit and ublic buildings X Public Service Announcements Cable TV Programs -City site Demonstration rojects (landsca in or lurnbing) K-12 Education ro ams {Pro'ect Wet, Drinking Water Institute) School resentations Events (children's water festivals, environmental fairs) 1 Communit education Water Week romotions Information rovided to grow s that tour the water treatment lant Website include address: www.ci.columbia-heights.mn.us X Targeted efforts (large volume users, users with large increases Notices of ordinances (See A endix Emergency conservation notices (recommended) Other: List education efforts for the last three years in Attachment F of the plan.

Describe any additional efforts planned to provide conservation information to customers a minimum of twice per year (required if there are no current efforts}. The utility will use the City news letter during spring and summer quarters to advise customers on the wise use of water. A pacicci vi cuuscrvatiun Tips anu information can be obtained'oy contacting i~ivic waters or the Minnesota Rural Water Association {MRWA). The American Water Works Association (AWWA) www.awwa.or~ or www.waterwiser.ore also has excellent materials on water conservation that are available in a number of formats. You can contact the MRWA 800/367- 6792, the AWWA bookstore 800/926-7337 or DNR Waters 651/259-5703 for information regarding educational materials and formats that are available. 18 132 6. Retrofitting Programs. Education and incentive programs aimed at replacing inefficient plumbing fixtures and appliances can help reduce per capita water use as well as energy costs. It is recommended that communities develop along-term plan to retrofit public buildings with water efficient plumbing fixtures and that the benefits of retrofitting be included in public education programs. You may also want to contact local electric or gas suppliers to see if they are interested in developing a showerhead distribution program for customers in your service area. A study by the AWWA Research Foundation (Residential End Uses of Water, 1999) found that the average indoor water use for anon-conserving home is 69.3 gallons per capita per day (gpcd). The average indoor water use in a conserving home is 4;.2 gpcd and most of the decrease in water use is related to water efficient plumbing fixtures and appliances that can reduce water, sewer and energy costs. In Minnesota, certain electric and gas providers aze required (Minnesota Statute 2168.241) to fund programs that will conserve energy resources and some utilities have distributed water efficient showerheads to customers to help reduce energy demands re fired to su 1 hot water. Retrofitting Programs. Describe any education or incentive programs to encourage the retrofitting of inefficient plumbing fixtures (toilets, showerheads, faucets, and aerators) or a fiances (washing machines). Columbia Heights has a lot of new housing under construction which has low flow fixtures. Plan Approval. Water Emergency and Conservation Plans must be approved by the Deparhnent of Natural Resources (DNR) every ten years. Please submit plans for approval to the following address: DNR Waters or Submit electronically to Water Permit Programs Supervisor wateruse(a,dnr.state.mn.us. 500 Lafayette Road St. Paul, MN 55155-4032 Adoption of Plan. All DNR plan approvals are contingent on the formal adoption of the plan by the city council or utility board. Please submit a certificate of adoption (example available) or other action adopting the plan. Metropolitan Area communities are also required to submit these plans to the Metropolitan Council. Please see PART IV. ITEMS FOR METROPOLITAN AREA PUBLIC SUPPLIERS. 19 133 METROPOLITAN COUNCIL PART IV. ITEMS FOR METROPOLITAN AREA PUBLIC SUPPLIERS Minnesota Statute 473.859 requires water supply plans to be completed for all local units of government in the seven-county Metropolitan Area as part of the local comprehensive planning process. Much of the required information is contained in Parts I-III of these guidelines. However, the following additional information is necessary to make the water supply plans consistent with the Metropolitan Land LTse Planning Act upon which local comprehensive plans are based. Communities should use the information collected in the development of their plans to evaluate whether or not their water supplies are being developed consistent with the Council's Water Resources Management Policy Plan. -- Policies. Provide a statements} on the principles that will dictate operation of .the water supply utility: for example, "It is the policy of the city to provide good. quality water at. an-affordable rate, while assuring this use does not have a long-term negative resource impact." See write up in Appendix Impact on the Local Comprehensive Plan. Identify the impact that the adoption of this water supply plan has on the rest ofthe Local comprehensive plan, including implications for future growth of the community, economic impact on the community and changes to the comprehensive lan that mi t result.

Part IV-Policies (Page 20) It is the policy of the City of Columbia Heights to provide a safe supply of water in sufficient quantity and pressure to meet the needs of the consumers. Objectives 1. Maintain the water distribution system to insure an adequate quantity of water at required pressure. 2. Monitor water quality to insure compliance with the safe drinking water act and current MDH regulations. 3. Implement water rate increases as required to cover the costs of supply, administration, and capital improvements or replacements. 138 Columbia Heights Water Supply Plan Water Purchased and Water Sales Water Purchased: Due to master meter features, the water purchased records are incomplete and estimated. A new master meter has been installed to measure and record purchased water volumes. Water Sold: Columbia Heights likely doesn't sell the volume of water reported. The reports they produce are for the amount of water that is billed to theix customers. The City has antiquated utility billing software that is unable to track the actual quantities of water sold. For examples, their policy is to estimate water usage high when they are unable to obtain a meter reading and then when they obtain the actual meter reading there is no provision in the software to change the estimated quantity of water. They manually recalculate the bill and change the amount due. For years the City's billing system was based on a minimum bill and a quantity of 600 cubic feet is recorded in the records even if a smaller volume of water was used. 139 ,~ A'f TA~>~[MENT A PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY PUBLIC SAFETY WATER PRESERVATION B.SOI (I} The provisions of 8.501 shall apply #o aIi persons using water both in and outside the City and regardless of whether any person using water shall have a contract for water service with the City. 8.501 (2} No person shall use or withdraw water for the purpose of sprinkling, watering or irrigating of lawns, grass, ground covers or gardens, except as follows: (a) Watering of mature sod and gardens at any site with an odd-numbered address will be permitted an odd-numbered dates, 5) Watering of mature sod and gardens at any site with an even-numbered address will be permitted on even-numbered dates, © Watering of new sod or trees planted within the last five (S} years ar having a diameter of less than three inches will be permitted at any time, 8.501 {3) No person, other than a commercial car wash, shall wash a private vehicle except those persons residing in odd- numberedresidences may wash their private vehicles onodd-numbered dates and persons with even-numbered residences may wash their private vehicles on even-numbered dates.

Peterson Patricia Muscovitz CMC City Clerk/Council Secretary 146 etr 21 08 10:20a ~~ ,Z va,G Low Flow Fixtures Could Help Save Millions Each year the average American uses about 27,000 gallons of tivater around the home, according to the 1998 Residential Water Use Summary commissianed by American Water Works Association (AWWA}. According to the study, each person i`n asingle-family home uses 74.0 gallons per day. Water suppliers in the U.S. already process nearly 34 billion gallons of water daily. As the population cont"snues to grow, saving more water could offset the demands created by that growth. This in turn can help communities avoid the expenses of building new water supply and treatment facilities. By employing water conservation measures like low-flow fixtures and regularly checking for and repairing leaks, daily use can be cut by about 30 percent, down to 51.9 gallons per person. A household can cut water usage for showers by 2.1 gallons per person per day by installing low-How shower nozzles. This amounts to more than 766 gallons per person per year. Low-flow fixtures installed in homes constructed in 1998 will save an estimated 44 million gallons of water a day. This amounts to a narional annual savings of about $33.6 million each year, according to AWWA. During the growing season, as much as 65 percent of a household's total water is used outdoors. According to nationally known gardener Paul James, outdoor water conservation can be-as simple as watering earlier in the day and using sprinklers that distribute droplets of water instead of mists. Water sensors for automatic sprinkler systems prevent watering during rainfall events or when the soil is still wet. Collecting rainwater from downspouts for watering gardens later and rnulching_gardensolso reduce outdoor water use. Conserving water for car washing means using a bucket and a sponge to soap the car, instead of leaving the water running. • "By installing low-flow water fixtures and taking other steps to conserve water, consumers do a favor for themselves," .,:A lar-l 4-9nf-FF,~ohr AWWA OXECntiVe director. .~IFlV YMV.~ ~ .v---..- , _ ... _ Other conservation measures include running the dishwasher only when it is full. Cn clothes washers with adjustable water 9evels, small loads can be run on low Routinely checking plumbing, and immediately repairing leaking faucets, toilets and other leaks can Save almost 5 gallons of tivater per person per day. p.2 Public education programs can inform users on water saving measures and provide opportunities to learn how to identify and to fix leaks. Combined, these measures may save each household on)y X200 per year. Magnified system-wide, the savings can be significant for operators in terms of reduced chemicals usage and energy saved, the AWWA said.

The purpose of the Ordinance change is to expedite abatements and improve the overall appearance of the City. Major changes include: -The period that property owners will have to abate a weedlturf problem following a citation has been reduced from 10 days to 4 days -Current County property records for owner/taxpayer will be used as the primary address to notify an owner of a violation. --Tdotifieation procedures have been expanded to include Leaving a door hanger notice informing the resident of an Ordinance violation. if you have questions, comments or would like to report a violation, please call the tali grass and weed report line at 763/706-3723. 147 7 ek'j 21 48 10:20a PUBLYC WORKS CU.t Y®llr $ill; Fix the Toilet A leaky toilet is the most common reason for a spike in home water bills. A city in Oregon estimated a silent leak could waste as much as 30o gallons of water a day without anyone noticing. Checking for toilet leaks is a fairly simple. Add l0 drops of food coloring to the water tank and wait 30 minutes. If the water in the toilet bowl has even a hint of color when you return, you have a leak A bad "flapper," the circular object that covers the hole in the bottom of the tank, causes most leaks. Flappers are fairly easy to mplace, and you can buy one for less than $5 at the hardware store. Please check with the Columbia Heights water utility if you suspect you have a leak in your toilet or elsewhere. With the new automatic water meters, it is easier for the city to detect a leak in your system By taking a few preventive steps you can save yourself some money. Fall Sweeping The Street Department will begin Fall street sweeping in late September and continue for as long as weather permits. As a reminder to all property owners, it is against City ordinance to deposit litter, including yard waste and snow into public streets. 148 p.3 ~~-~- a- ° °~1 Brush in Allep Proper and timely trimming of vegetation in the alleys provide residents, serrice and emergency vehicles with safe, unobstructed use of the alley.

Hansen ~ BY: - /- ° DATE: 01 /06/2009 DATE: Background: Staff has developed preliminary plans and prepared the Feasibility Report for Zone 4 of the Annual Street Rehabilitation Program. The 2009 Project Area is bounded by University Avenue on the west and Central Avenue on the east, 48`'' Avenue on the south and extends to 53`d Avenue at the North Corporate Limit. Analysis /Conclusions: Attached is the Feasibility Report that details the scope of work for Street Rehabilitation in Zone 4. Particular issues are summarized below: 1. Rehabilitation Strategies: Three treatment strategies are utilized in t11e street rehabilitation program: mill and overlay, partial reconstruction, and full reconstruction. In each Zone, 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 the Zone 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 developed their own pavement conditions index. 3. Overall Condition Index (OCI): Staff also reviews each street segment by measuring the type and quantity of each kind 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 4 and the attached area map represents where staff is recommending COUNCIL ACTION: " ~~J CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: 1/12/09 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT AGENDA ITEM: RESOLUTION 2009-02 ACCEPTING THE FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR ZONE 4 STREET REHABILITATION AND ORDERITIG THE PllBLIC IMPROVEMENT HEARING, CITY PROJECT N0.0902 ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: (CITY MANAGER PUBLIC WORKS BY: K. Hansen BY: DATE: O I !06/2009 DATE: Continued -Page 2 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. The water main was installed in the 1920'x, replacement of this main is recommended due to the age and materials used in the constriction of the water main and the knowledge of lead lines within the right-of--way. 3. Assessment Methodology: Previously, street Rehabilitation Zones 1, 2 and 3 in 1997 and 1998 all followed the existing assessment policies for each area. Under the 1999 Alley Construction Program and in Zones 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7A, 7B, 1 A, 2 and 3, a "unit" assessment methodology was employed rather than using a "front foot" rate basis. The area of Columbia Heights in Zone 4 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: The work in Zone 4 is recommended mainly in the west half of the Zone area as depicted on the attached map. In the last rehab cycle in 2000 the work was focused in the east half of the Zone. For 2009, the only fiill reconstruction is recommended for St'' Street from 49th to 50th Avenues and Mill and Overlay is recommended for four street segments on the streets shown. Due to their condition, all other streets in Zone 4 are recommended for a seal coat in 2010. Streets that were rehabbed in 2000 would receive a seal coat at r t 5 ,.t. n ri _ t no cost to the properly owner iott~wuig uie rrograrn ruttcy.

Street Reconstruction The proposed roadway wauld consist of a two lane bituminous cross section with concrete curb and gutter. The roadway width would generally match the existing street width. Mihl and Overhay The proposed construction would consist of milling up to 1'/2" of bituminous cross section and paving a new 1 /~" to 2'/~" bituminous mat. Existing concrete curb and gutter would be preserved except for sections with poor drainage. Driveway openings with drive-over curbs will be removed and replaced on a lineal foot cost at the request of property owners. Utilities Water main replacement is proposed for 5"' Street. Staff is estimating approximately 18 water services may need to be replaced on 5`h Street. This is based on the number of homes built before 1950. The type and size of water service is field verified during construction. Any water service othei° than % " or larger capper is replaced. Inoperable stop boxes will be repaired/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 Zone 4 be replaced as part of the project. The criteria for hazardous sidewalk is defined in the City's policy. The cost is approximately $10,000, spread over 53 properties. The cost per single family property ranges from $70 to $1,040. The majority of the sidewalk replacement is not adjacent to streets included in the 2009 Street Rehabilitation program. Staff recommends the cost far hazardous sidewalk replacement be absorbed by the Infrastructure fiord. City staff also recommends that sidewalk be extended from 6`~' Street and 52°d Avenue, one block east and one block north to 7`~' Street and 53`d Avenue in accordance with the Parks and Trails plan. The cost to constnict this sidewalk would be in the range of $15,000 to $20,000. FEASIBILITY: The proposed improvement project is necessary to provide consistency with the street rehabilitation nolicv. cost-effective with the inchz~i~n of nart;~l ~;tu .. -- ---- -- r------ --v finding, 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 estimated construction costs for each option are as follows; Type of Constr~.iction Proposed Assessments Infrastructure Fund Full Reconstniction $ 89,700. $89,700. Mill and Overlay $106,713. $18,479. (Engineering and Admin} $27,508. The assessments reflect a flat fee of 10% of the construction cost included in the amount to assess for a portion of the Engineering and Administration costs. Percentages proposed to be assessed for street rehabilitation are consistent with the policy followed under each of the prior street rehabilitation zones. Utility work performed as part of the Zone 4 project will be paid for from the appropriate utility fund. Proposed sidewalk construction/repair is not included in the infrastructure fund amount. ASSESSMENT: Assessments will be in accordance with the City's Street Rehabilitation Ordinance and past practice. Assessments can be based on a per foot basis or a parcel basis. Following the other Zones assessment policies, assessments would be on a Street and Avenue parcel basis. A Street assessment would he at the developed rate for the particular rehab strategy while Avenue assessments would be at approximately 1 /3 of the street rate extending '/a block in either direction of the Avenue. This assumes that all parcels benefit equally for the strategy in front of their property or abutting it, in the case of the Avenue. 157 2009 IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA ESTIMATED ASSESSMENTS -PROJECT N0.0902 ZONE 4 STREET REHABILITATION PROGRAM (Section 26, T30N, R24W) I.

Hansen ~~ BY: ~'~ DATE: 01/06/2009 ~ DATE: Background: Staff has developed preliminary plans and prepared a Feasibility Report for Zone 1 C and 3B of the Annual Seal Coat Program. The Seal Coat area is located between Central Avenue and Taylor Street from 45`" to 47t" Avenues {Zone 1 C), on all bituminous streets north of 49`" Avenue between Central Avenue and Stinson Boulevard (Zone 3B), on Stinson Boulevard south of 45`'' Avenue, and on Khyber Lane. In accordance with the Street Rehabilitation Policy, Zone 3 streets that were rehabilitated in 1998 are being seal coated at the City's cost (City pays for first seal coat). Streets included in the 2007 Street Rehabilitation program will not be seal coated until the next rehab cycle (Tyler Street, north of 49`" Avenue). The map included with the Feasibility Report displays the streets proposed for Seal Coat and the funding source. Analysis/Conclusions: The seal coat pragram helps preserve and maintain existing bihiminous streets in good driving condition. Particular issues are summarized below: 1. Assessment Methodology: The Seal Coating project will be assessed on a Street and Avenue parcel basis. Avenue assessments are'/3 of the street rate extending'/~ block in either direction of the Avenue. This assumes that all parcels benefit equally for the strategy in front of their property or abutting it, in the case of the Avenue. The estimated unit cost assessment is $288 per Street parcel and $96 per Avena~e parcel. The area in Zone 3 has primarily curved streets and uses only "street" frontage on residential parcels. 2. Financing: The estimated construction cost is $55,000. 100% of the seal coat construction cost is assessed to property owners, or City funded for the first rehab cycle fallowing rehabilitation. 3. Meeting dates: Staff is recommending the public improvement hearing be scheduled preceding the Zone 4 Street Rehab Hearing on March 2, 2009.

The Assessment methodology of a few streets, including Tyler from the 2008 Seal Coat Program was discussed at the January 5th work session. Attached is a memo from 1997 in which the Council approved addressing how assessments would be applied in all of Zone 3 on the 2009 Seal Coat Program. Also attached are several examples including Tyler, Lincoln, and Ulysses and how the past policy is applied to these streets. Our research has indicated that the application of assessments on these streets and how assessments are calculated have been consistent over the past thirty (30) or forty (40) years, and the Street Rehabilitation Program applies these same methods since it was initiated in 1997. Recommended Motion: Move to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2009-03, there being ample copies available to the public Recommended Motion: Move to adopt Resolution No. 2009-03, being a Resolution accepting the Feasibility Report for Zone IC and 3B, City Project 0907, and calling for the Public Improvement Hearing beginning at 6:00 pan. on March 2, 2009.

Currently most of Zone 3 is under what has been called the Mathaire policy. This policy was established in 1959 with some additional areas added since that time. The reason for establishing this policy was because the grid patterned policy used in the rest of the City did not work with the curved streets. In the Mathaire policy, only a street charge is used and in the case of a lot having a long curved front on two streets, %Z of the footage is used. By using this policy in the proposed additional plats, most owners would see no change in their footage calculation or would benefit in a reduction of footage charged. There are only a few comer lots who now pay 1 /3 rate for their long side who would pay full rate but for only %Z the footage now used in the calculation. Most of these properties face one side of their property on a state aid street for which they currently are not being assessed for. The following plats are currently under the "Mathaire Policy": Mathaire Innsbruck Third Addition Hilltop Second Unit Hilltop Fourth Unit Hilltop Third Unit including 1717 49"' Ave Auditor's Subdivision No.153 adjoining Tyler Street, 49'~ - 50`~ Avenues Auditor's Subdivision No.135 adjoining Hilltop Second Unit We propose to add to this policy the following Plats: Hilltop Cheery Heights Auditor's Subdivision No.120 Korman Addition This would make all of Zone 3 consistent for the purpose of spreading the cost per foot equitably in this residential area. Only the commercial area of Zone 3 would remain under the same policy it is currently using. We consulted with the City Attorney regarding this matter. His opinion is that we should make all of Zone 3 under the same policy. The reason is that the courts wilt look at the fact that in applying a policy all residential property is treated the same. It will also avoid confusion in presenting and explaining the policy for this zone. It is possible to treat commercial property differently from residential as long as all commercial property in an area is treated the same. It is the Attorney's opinion that we do not need to make this change with a resolution or by motion since the original policy was not established by either of these methods, however, the Council did approve the method. If you wish to have the above policy, with the changes, brought before the Council at an official City Council Meeting with a motion made to establish this new policy for Zone 3 1-_-- 1.1 1..- 1..--... pICC{5G IGt JCIIG KIIUW. In 1983, the City Council also determined that property owners on County Road 104 should still be assessed, but an avenue rate, since they may traverse other roadways within their particular subdivision or plat. In 1995 this road became a State Aid Road. E would like to know how the Council would like this area to be assessed. At the August 1$,1997 work session, the City Council agreed that all of Zone 3 should follow the same policy known as the Mathaire Policy. However, because the road around Kordiak Park ,formerly County Road 104, is now State Aid it will not be charged an Avenue or third rate charge unless the City Policy on all State ~i~ streets were to change. Jane\pirfundlz3policy Assessing_Palicy far Cul-de-sac Streets Properties with long side facing cul-de-sac street (Pierce Street) reduces the number of parcels available to pay the "street" rate. To make up for this, properties facing Pierce Street pay both street and avenue assessment on Pierce Street to keep more of the assessment funds on Pierce Street, rather than spread the avenue assessment to the nearest side street. If a street assessment was $300 and avenue assessment was $100: The two corner properties would contribute $100 each, or a total of $200 toward Pierce Street. If these lots were oriented so the short side was on Pierce Street paying the Street rate, the two corner properties would contribute $600 toward Pierce Street. Mare likely, in this same space, there would be 4 lots facing Pierce Street and paying $1200. Pierce Street properties would not pay an avenue assessment on their nearest side street. Lincoln Street properties would pay an avenue assessment on their nearest side street. (In this case 37`'' Avenue is designated as State Aid and those streets are not currently assessed.) Please reference attached policy (#10} and maps (2}. 169 ~~ DETAILS OF COMPUTING ADJUSTED FRONT FOOTAGE (SEE GROUP 11 EXA~ MPLES} 1, Odd Shaped Lots (ABC) - For odd shaped lots, such as exist on eul-de-sacs or triangular intersections, etc., the adjusted front footage is computed by dividing the area of the lot by 130'; or the average depth in the area (if over .130' use 130'}; or by using the same footage as on adjacent lots. Unusual situation shown in example (K). Deep lots with very narrow rear, go back 130 to make a new rear lot line then average front and rear. 2. Approximately Rectangular Lots (B) - For a lot which is approximately rectangular, the adjusted front footage is computed by averaging the front and back sides of the lot. a. used only if less than 105' depth on one side and has at least two squared corners. 3. Rectangular Lot (D) -For the normal rectangular lot, the adjusted front footage is the actual front footage of the tot. 4, Shallow Lats (F) - Lots with depth less than llp~ use square feet divided by 130' equals street feet. with tang side as 130' (except corner lot where avenue charge would be less as platted). (420 Tyler ~ 1805 - 42nd) 5. Irregular Shallow Lots (C) - For irregular lots averaging less than 130' in depth, the adjusted front footage is determined by actual lot area divided by 130 feet. 6. Corner Lots (E) - Corner lots are treated like any other lot. Short side is frontage~See 6AaQe,~~~ Avenue Assessments) 7. Neck Lots (J) - For hots which have a small frontage on a street, with a narrow strip running back 130' or more, an adjusted frontage of 50' is arbitrarily assigned $. Areas Partially Served by Utilities (HMI) - For any tract or parcel which is only partially served by water or sewer lateral onl that will be assessed and computed as adjusted front footageyfor theaparticulared project for which the assessment is figured. 9. Alleys - Alley opening or surfacing will be assessed on the adjusted front foot method. Any storm drains in connection with a street or alley opening or surfacing would be assessed along with the street or alley opening or surfacing on the same method. Alley along the long side of the corner lot will use the length minus 40' as assessable footage. Angled alleys use average front and rear (Example (K)). Triangular lots along alley entrance use alley footage divided by ,two (see example (C) L,2), Alleys that cross each other--charge to po~nt(Example (L)), 10. Interior Blocks ~ Cu1-de-sac.Streets (A~G~ - Interior blocks will be assessed as a unit for curb t; Mat or seal coat on Street and Avenue charge. Avenue charge will not be assessed down the block autside the interior street. The entrance lots will be assessed avenue charge on long side of interior street only. Continue to charge avenue for streets originally platted -~- -- --•• ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~, i~~terior street whose long side is on interior street). If the entrance lots to an interior block have long sides on the interior streets the entire block pays both street and avenue charge but does not pay for the street it comes off of. The interior black, where the corner lots' short side is on the interior street, will be assessed the avenue charge for the street they come off of. If the interior block's corner lots are one of each (a long side and a short side), use the avenue charge for the street you come off of, 170 C ia> GROOUP II (A1) tUSTt'tt F ;(tVT f00TAGES~ (t`AYTINUED) i 1 ~ t . b.

Hansen BY: ~%" ~- DATE: 01!061 DATE: Background: In 2007, the Park & Recreation Commission went through a process of public input and review, forming a basis for the creation of Master Plans for the redevelopment of Sullivan Lake Park and Silver Lake Park. Based on the completed Master Plans, construction plans and specification were prepared for each Park for 2008 construction. It is anticipated that work in each park will completed at the end of 200$. The Park plaru~ing firm of Brauer and Associates has prepared the Master Plans and final construction plans for each. bz 2008 Parks Budget has funds established for the planning process of another City Park -Ramsdell Park, as selected by the Park & Recreation Commission. Analysis/Conclusions: A similar Master Planning process has now been completed, considering condition of the park and amenities, park features and unmet needs, past Commission and public discussions/review, and uses. The Commission held an informational meeting at Ramsdell Park in July with two Concept Plans presented and reviewed. Following that meeting, the concept plans were placed on the City web site and at the Library and the park neighborhood was re-noticed (via postcard) to allow time for additional comment. The Commission reviewed all public corrunents at their September regular meeting far a final recommendation to the City Council in October. A copy of comments received -via email, phone or letter, are attached. Based upon the review process, staff would recommend the Master Plan include the following elements: 1. Athletic field with soccer overlay 2. Wading pool with new concrete perimeter deck 3. Walking trail 4. New Parking areas 5. Playground area, relocated 6. Small picnic shelter 7. Site Landscaping /screening 8. Future hnprovements: Parking expansion and skate park on the School owned property The site amenity (existing and proposed) that has received the most negative comment is the half basketball court. The Commission recommended removing this from the iviaster Pian. The only other plan eiemeni iiid received some negative comment was the skate park. Both staff and the Commission are recommending leaving this in the Master Plan as a `future' improvement considering funding availability. Also attached is a letter from the school supporting park redevelopment and interest in use of their land. Staff attended a November ISD 13 Board workshop to review the Master Plan and received positive feedback on the plan COUNCIL ACTION: CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: 1/12/09 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT AGENDA (ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: (CITY MANAGER PUBLIC WORKS ITEM: RAMSDELL PARK MASTER PLAN BY: K.

Recommended Motion: Move to accept the Master Plan as prepared by the Park Planning fine of Brauer and Associates based upon a recommendation of the Park and Recreation Commission. Attaclunent: Public Cormnents about Ramsdell Ramsdell Park Master Plan KH:cb COUNCIL ACTION: 175 Thanks for posting the concepts. I prefer # 1 because it keeps the wading poo! for the children which currently is heavily used. The perimeter path will be great for dog walking year round .Thanks We use the park all the time. I hope the Colorado Spruce trees at the South end of the park will remain, as they are lovely. The skateboard area is a wonderful idea. There are so many tot lots around but so few facilities For other age groups, especially for kids who are not in organized programs. I have seen many of these in parks while traveling {you see lots of parks traveling with the dogs) and they seem very popular. You may want to coordinate with Anoka County as they are going to do a tot lot facility at Kordiak. With Castle Heights in the picture, that's three facilities that are very close to each other. The wetland is a great idea as it tries to return regularly after a heavy rain or in the spring {but you know all that). Ali parks need a water element. The renovation should turn a rather dull space (mostly grass) into a much nicer place. The Dalmatians and 1 look forward to walking it; now holy about a Columbia Heights off leash dog park. We probably have more dogs than kids in this community. Catherine Vesley Donald Vesley ves1e001 r%uumn.edu 8/14/2008 2:50 PM 2. There are features from both plans that are appealing-but I am disappointed to see that the existing wading pool is not included on the second plan. Moving the play areas farther back into the park and away from the street is a positive in both plans. Including a skate park is an interesting idea--has New Brighton been contacted to hear if there are issues with their skate park off Silver Lake Road near Pike Lake School? Overall I like plan 1 more than 2. We live close to this area and use the park occasionally. It's good to see improvements being considered. Chris Paulson "Russ Paulson" rpaulsonncomprehensive-view.com 8/13/2008 9:57 PM 3. I am a resident of Johnson Street and have been for quite awhile. I would ask that you keep the swimming pool. Plan 1 looks preferable to me. People come from Fridley, Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park to use that pool as there are not any in the surrounding area. Sincerely, Jeanne Ramirez ,[i ram i rez~ii?co m cast. net 8/8/2008 3:39 PM 4. Hi planners. I have lived at ] 721 Innsbruck Parkway for 33 years. My children were raised here, went to Columbia Heights schools and used Ramsdell/Mathaire Park extensively. I drive by it every day and observe some of the activity there. As grandparents now, we still use the park when grandchildren come to visit. Some thoughts that I have are. Don't even think about removing the pool. ]t's tl}e most used part of the park. Why not a full court basketball venue -the current court gets lots of use? The softball field is nice, but it should double for little league baseball. A picnic area is OK, but don't forget that Kordiac Park is a block away. The skateboard area is a great idea. I see lots of skateboard activity on the concrete street in front of my house. I'm glad to see you working on some improvements. Thank you. Leigh J. Johnson lei~~h.ii?hnSi~nrl Ct1mCaSi.nCl 8/7/2008 6:11 PM 5.

Also asked for basketball covert to be removed or moved away from residential area. 6. (Phone Call 8/08/08) Denise Jacobus a 1717 Innsbruck Parkway: Prefers plan that keeps wading pool inplace (DO NOT get rid ot) and likes the addition of a skate park/feature at the corner of the park. 7. Dear Kevin, (August 15, 2008} We attended the meeting at Ramsdell Park July 23, 2008 regarding renovation of the park. We strongly believe the current chain link fence between the park and our property should be replaced with a fence that provides privacy and security. On May 21, 2008 approximately three hundred dollars of lawn ornaments were stolen near the fence on our property next to the park. See enclosed police report. We recommend and are willing to pay part of a white six foot vinyl fence with a basket weave at the top. Lastly, I am the caretaker, (Beautification committee member) for the plants around the Ramsdell Park sign. It would be a great advantage to have abuilt-in Evatering system to water the plants especially when it's very dry in July & August in our area. Please keep us apprised on the renovation of the park. Thank you! Marvin & Patricia Sowada (Police repore in Focus wording); Numerous lawn ornaments, including seven gnomes, four black bears, one hedgehog and three mushrooms, were reported stolen from a yard at 8:50 p.m. N~a~y621 in the 4900 block of Johnson Street.) 8. Keep wading pools for young families and the playground equipment and keep it in good condition. (Shirley Graczyk: 1300 Pierce Terrace - 763-574-0660} 9. Kay 1-lay: reside at 1525 Pierce Terrace called comments in 10:20 a.m. an August 22, 2008 (612-590-7143): Agrees with concept 1 with children's pool That is one piece of park is used in summertime daily. Can the softball and soccer fields be included in concept one ar is that cost prohibitive? She would like to see them both. 0. Bob McNamara at 1640 Innsbruck Pkwy. - 612/207-508$: Both plans - It appears the small wading pool is gone on concept 2 and is concerned because that is the one feature of the park that is currently, heavily used. He wants to see it stay so he likes concept I . 11. Dear Engineering Department, Either of the two designs for Ramsdell Park look fine, except for the skate park. I don't recommend a skate park in either of them. 1 tltink that it will be a noisy, high maintenance, hazardous attraction that would disrupt the serenity of the area and eventually leave an unused, unattractive concrete fixture at the entrance of our neighborhood. Also, please try not to overpopulate the park with large trees. We have tots of shade at Kordiak Park. Ramsdell Park is about the only area left where someone can fly a kite or model airplane. Sincerely, Gilbert J. Mros 5025 Johnson St. NE 763 571-1166 8/18/2008 4:12 PM 11. WOW !Both of the concepts are just terrific. This park selves so very many youngsters even though its proximity to Castle Heights and Kordiak Parl: serve as competition. Ramsdell has a warmth to it that these others do not probably because of its size and ease of accessing. Also, it is not viewed as an area in which many children come where they are not accompanied by adults or not participating in organized activities. Castle Heights experiences problems with youthful behavior on a daily basis, especially in the evening. Kordial: enjoys some rather odd and questionable adult activity 24/7. Parking has always been a challenge and a safety concern. Both proposals appear to be addressing this issue. Tt will be a direct beneficiary of the anticipated expansion of the school parking lot as well. Vehicular and pedestrian traffic adjacent to this park can be a nightmare. Amazingly, there have not been many injuries nor accidents resulting in damage of which I am aware. Additional signage currently being installed on 49th Avenue by Anoka County will heighten the visibility of pedestrians at certain times of the day. This will enhance safety concerns and hopefully add another layer of caution For both pedestrians and motorists. A few years ago the Recreation Dept. and the Park & Rec. Commission planned some much needed light installations and upgrades to a park located in the southeast portion of the City. These enhancements were specifically intended to make the park more usable by everyone in the city as well as for competitions. Tl~e folks who lived around that park reacted as if they had been robbed of "their" park and attempted to make anyone connected with the improvements miserable. They mounted a mighty campaign to defeat this plan and eventually proved themselves to be selfish and peaty. My reason for mentioning this is the hope and presumption that this will not be repeated for Ramsdell Park. Cun•ently, I do not get the impression that anyone in the area harbors these feelings. But stranger things have happened. You requested comments and suggestions. While my comments became so lengthy they could be considered an epistle, my suggestions will be brief. 1 know absolutely nothing regarding part: development. What I do know is that I am very grateful to the staff for recognizing the need to dress up this park, have the knowledge to know how to do it or hire someone who does, and, very importantly, have budgeted funds to get the job done, tam in your debt for making my neighborhood so much more liveable and attractive. Thank you so very much. With affection and gratitude, Jo-Anne Student 12. Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the proposed park improvements for Ramsdell Park. It's great to see the city making plans for improvements. The information provided was in great detail and helped us understand your plans. We would like to give some input to both plans. We live at 4925 Joi~nson Street, directly across me street from file tittle parking lot at the park. We have lived here for seven years. For the moss part the park has been a wonderful perk to living here, but then again there are times when it's the worst plane to be. For example, late spring early summer when baseball is going on. There are cars parked everywhere, on this street, doubled up in the lot. Some neighbors have had people park in their driveways. So we are glad to see the parking addressed an the plans. However, in concept #2 it shows that the parking would be redesigned to be pull-in stal{s. I am concerned about this pay°king concept Far two reasons. Pirsi because of the rate of speed cars drive up and down this street. The speed limit is marked for 20 miles per hour, but I can assure you this rule is most often ignored. There is a stop sign, but again most people roll right thru ii. Second, the street has a curve mid block, with this challenge and the many la~•ge pine U•ees that are located close to the street, it makes it difficult to see if any cars are coming. We feel that with the rate of speed the cars drive up and down this street, and the obstructed vision this will make an environment for many accidents with people trying to back out of those parking stalls. Another concern we have with concept # 2 is the position of th~~asketball court. With the redesign, the court would be relocated right off the street. So with the identical concerns from above, this would prove to be disastrous. The kids could possibly be running into the street to retrieve a ball. Also, this would put the basketball court directly across the street from our home. On one hand this would be great, as our children love the game. But we have had to purchase our o~~m hoop because we will not let our children go over to the basketball court. Many, many older boys come from all over to play there. The language is horrendous, and their behavior to4vards one another is appalling. They are loud, they litter, and they antagonize anyone who comes to play. The position of the court in concept # 1, seems to be a better option than in concept #2. However there may be a concern with the court dotivn in tl}e hole behind the pool. The position of the court currently seems to be okay, as the existing park building muffles the noise. The skate park in both concepts is a concern. We have often visited the stake park in St. Anthony and noticed the noise level from the sounds of the skateboards banging on the ramps and the ground. The noise level from the kids and again, some bad language and behavior I'm not sure this is an appropriate area for the skate park. Could it be put in behind the school? Will there be an opportunity for the residents around the park to meet? Will there be a city council meeting to discuss the plans? If so, can you notify us? Thank you.

Our overall choice is concept #1 with a few changes. We do not want a basketball court of any size included in the project. We have seen the current court turn into an area where large groups of youth congregate, most do not play basketball. The language and conduct used by these youth is poor. Though there conduct is not illegal it does keep a lot of families with young kids from using the park. We do like the circle path/picnic area/play area of the concept #2. This would fit into concept #1 if the basketball court was eliminated. I believe having the skate park at the corner of 49th and Johnson would be best because it would have high visibility with most parking being in the school lot. We do not like the direct parking on the street that is part of Concept #2. The wading pool is used a lot during the summer and should be included and upgraded. These park improvements have been needed for way to long and will be an asset to the neighborhood. Gary and Lodi Gorman 50101ohnson St. NE 9/7/2008 7:39 PM 14. (phone call - 9/5/08) 4935 Johnson St. NE -Duane Budde: The basketball court is a huge negative -the design has it next to 7ohnson St - his front yard. It draws a very unsavory group that uses very foul language. At the Highland Elementary schools -would be a good place to put the basketball courts by adding baskets and it would not bother neighbors. A parking lot needs to stay near the pool to give parents close proximity for safety (he witnessed a previous accident of a child getCtng hit). Walking trail by park isn't necessary because of close proximity to Kordiak Park. Consider adding senior related activities such as Horseshoe pits. Please leave as many trees in the park as possible (limit removals). (2"d phone call - 9/5/08) Mary Budde: supports amenities for little kids such as the pool and playground, sees them more in the park in the late afternoon when parents arrive home from work. A ~/z court basketball court is ok (with her) but really supports moving any court down to the school area -and maintain those. Asked to bring back a skating rink. Home phone: 763.571.2829 15. (phone call - 11(21/08} Mrs. Livingwood She is very opposed to the skatepark -does not want one as it brings noise, litter, and bad language day and night. She is supportive of the wading pool and other aspects of the plans.

BACKGROUND: At this time, the applicants would like to construct a Sonic Restaurant where the former Dave's Car Wash once stood. Sonic Restaurants are drive-ins with no indoor seating. Patrons order their food from the parking stall areas and the wait staff delivers the food to the car. The restaurant will also have adrive-thru, where patrons can order their food, pick it up, and take it elsewhere to eat. Although Sonic has been in business for quite a while, they have been most popular on the west coast and are just now starting to locate in the Midwest. This would be Minnesota's fourth Sonic Restaurant if the application were approved. As part of the approval process, the applicant is also requesting three variances. They are as follows: 1. A I S-foot front yard setback parking variance per Code Section 9.1.10 (C). 2. A 5-foot side yard setback parking variance per Code Section 9.110 (C). 3. A 24 square foot area variance for a monument sign per Code Section 9.106 (P)(12)(a)(3). The hardship for the variance requests is a function of the narrow width of the property, as well as the lack of an entrance to the property from Central Avenue. The subject property is only 100 feet in width. This narrow configuration makes it extremely difficult to place a building, drive aisles, parking stalls and landscaping without needing a variance to do so. The shape of the property, therefore, drives the setback variance requests for parking. Because there is no direct access to this property from Central Avenue, the applicants are requesting a larger monument sign to help attract business. Patrons of the restaurant will have to access the property from the public alley to the west. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing for the request on January 6, 2009. They voted to recommend City Council. approval of the variance with a 5-0 vote. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2009-14, there being ample copies available to the public. Move to adopt Resolution No. 2009-14, approving a 15-foot front yard parking setback for the construction of a Sonic Restaurant located at 4910 Central Avenue, subject to the conditions outlined in Resolution No. 2009-14. Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2009-15, there being ample copies available to the public. Move to adopt Resolution No.2009-1 S, approving a 5-foot side yard parking setback for the construction of a Sonic Restaurant located at 491.0 Central Avenue, subject to the conditions outlined in Resolution No. 2009-15. Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2009-16, there being ample copies available to the public. Zoo Move to adopt Resolution No. 2009-16, approving a 24 square foot area variance for the monument sign for a new Sonic Restaurant located at 4910 Central Avenue, subject to the conditions outlined. in Resolution No. 2009-16. flttacnments: Xesolutton LUUy-1 =f; Xesolutton LUUy-1 J; 1(esolutton LUUy-1 b; YtG Memo; Location Map; Jute Ylans COUNCIL ACTION: 201 RESOLUTION N0.2009-14 RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE FROM CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF THE CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS ZONING CODE FOR BORDER FOODS, INC. d/b/a SONIC RESTAURANT WHEREAS, a proposal (Case # 2009-0102) has been submitted by Border Foods to the City Council requesting a variance from the City of Columbia Heights Zoning Code at the following site: ADDRESS: 4910 Central Avenue LEGAL DESCRIPTION: On file at City Hall.

LOCATION: 4910 Central Avenue REQUEST: Site Plan Approval, Variances PREPARED BY: Jeff Sargent, City Planner INTRODUCTION At this time, Border Foods, Inc. d/b/a Sonic Restaurant is requesting a Site Plan approval for the construction of a new restaurant located at 4910 Central Avenue. As part of the approval process, the applicant is also requesting three variances. They are as follows: 1. A 15-foot front yard setback parking variance per Code Section 9.110 (C). 2. A 5-foot side yard setback parking variance per Code Section 9.110 (C). 3. A 24 square foot area variance for a monument sign per Code Section 9.106 (P)(12)(a)(3). BACKGROUND On February 7, 2006, Border Foods acquired the Dave's Car Wash property located at 4910 Central Avenue. After the acquisition, the applicant contacted the City of Columbia Heights indicating their desire to redevelop the site to include a new Taco Bell restaurant and a Starbucks Coffee Shop. On April 14, 2008, the applicant presented the City with plans for the construction of the Taco Bell building only. The Taco Bell building required a minor subdivision, as well as two deviations from the Design Guidelines. The plans were approved, with the condition that the Dave's Car Wash be demolished. Construction on the project was completed in the summer of 2008. City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission .]anuary 6, 2009 Sonic, Site Plan Approval, Variances Case # 2009-0102 At this time, the applicants would like to construct a Sonic Restaurant where the former Dave's Car Wash once stood. Sonic Restaurants are drive-ins with no indoor seating. Patrons order their food from the parking stall areas and the wait staff delivers the food to the car. The restaurant will also have adrive-thru, where patrons can order their food, pick it up, and take it elsewhere to eat. Although Sonic has been in business for quite a while, they have been most popular on the west coast and are just now starting to locate in the Midwest. This would be Minnesota's fourth Sonic Restaurant, if the application were approved. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan designates this area for commercial development that includes goals for commercial and economic development. These include strengthening the image of the community as a desirable place to live and work; providing opportunities and mechanisms for successful redevelopment of targeted areas; preserving and enhancing the existing commercial areas within the community; advocating high quality development and redevelopment within the community; and enhancing the economic viability of the community. The applicant's proposal is a commercial proposal and therefore consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in this regard. The Design Guidelines were adopted by the City Council after one year of preparation by a citizens group that included residents, as well as Central Avenue business owners. The guidelines were established to increase the visual appeal and pedestrian orientation of certain major street corridors within the city, thereby increasing the economic vitality of these corridors, and supporting the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The guidelines represent the minimum standards for design quality and have been implemented by Discount Tire, Advanced Auto Parts, and Grand Central Lofts, all on Central Avenue. Ryland Homes, Inc. and Schafer Richardson have also used the guidelines in the redevelopment of the Industrial Park. Even though the proposed plans submitted by the applicant include two deviations from the Design Guidelines, the deviations are consistent with the intent of the Design Guidelines and contextually acceptable in the overall design of the project. ZONING ORDINANCE The property located at 4910 Central Avenue NE is zoned GB, General Business, as are the properties to the north and east. The properties to the west are zoned R-2A and R-2B, One and Two Family Residential. The property to the south is located in the City of Hilltop. The property is also located within the Design Guideline Highway District and is subject to the regulations for such properties. Parking. Fast food restaurants with drive thru convenience require six (6) parking stalls plus one (1) parking stall for each 40 square feet of dining area. The proposed restaurant will have G square feet of dining area, as it is a drive-in facility with no indoor seating. Therefore, the project requires only 6 parking stalls. The proposed plans Page 2 209 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission January 6, 2009 Sonic, Site Plan Approval, Variances Case # 2009-0102 indicate a total of 18 parking stalls on site. Drive-Thru Facilities. The Zoning Code requires a minimum of six (6) stacking spaces per drive thru lane. The proposed plans indicate seven (7) stacking spaces. Landscaping. The City Code requires landscape plans that include a minimum of one tree for every 50 feet of street frontage or fraction thereof. Parking areas shall have a minimum of 100 square feet of landscape area and one over-story tree for each 20 spaces or fraction thereof as well. 4910 Central Avenue has 100.5 feet of street frontage, and incorporates 18 parking spaces. This requires three (4) trees, one of which shall be an over-story tree, and 100 square feet of landscape area. The proposed plans indicate a total of four (4) trees, all of which are over-story trees, and approximately 1,000 square feet of landscaped area, meeting the City's minimum requirements in both regards. Included in the landscape plan for the project will be 16 shrubs. signage. The Sign Code allows the building to have 2 square feet of signage for each 1 foot of building frontage, capped at 200 square feet. Being that this building is perpendicular to Central Avenue, and has only 28 feet of building frontage, the restaurant will be limited to 56 square feet of signage. The signage plan indicates that the building will incorporate 6 wall signs totaling 47 square feet in area. This meets the City's maximum requirements. The proposed plan also indicates the use of a monument sign, with a portion being an LED display. The current sign code allows monument signs to be a maximum of 10 feet in height and 40 square feet in area. The proposed monument sign is 10 feet in height and 64 square feet in area. For this reason, a 24 square foot area variance is required for the approval of the monument sign. The sign code restricts the LED display to be no more than 50% of the total sign area. The plans indicate that the LED portion will be 32 square feet in area, and the rest of the sign will also be 32 square feet in area. For this reason, the LED display conforms to the sign code. Stormwater Management. The applicant is proposing to use a small underground holding tank to help meet the City's requirements for stormwater management. The City Engineer has reviewed the plans and has determined that they meet City requirements for rate control but only partially meet the requirements for water quality. A partial storm water management fee will be calculated and applied to the project to make up for the difference. Design Guidelines. The project is located at 4910 Central Avenue, which is also located within the Design Overlay Highway District. Properties located in this district are subject to design guidelines when discussing the placement of the building on the lot, the height of the building, architectural details of the building, and signage. Page 3 210 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission January 6, 2009 Sonic, Site Plan Approval, Variances Case # 2009-0102 The design guidelines build on and complement recently completed streetscape improvements to the Central Avenue business district. They were developed by consultants, and a Citizen Task Force with representatives from the City Council, Planning Commission, area business owners and landowners, and interested citizens, and are mandatory. It is assumed that the intent of the guidelines should be met, however, it is understood that there may be alternative ways to achieve the same design objectives. The City may permit alternative approaches that, in its determination, meet the objective(s) of the design guideline(s) equally well. The City may also waive any guideline when specific physical conditions of the site or building would make compliance more difficult or inappropriate. Some Design Guideline elements that have been met are as follows: FRANCHISE ARCHITECTURE. Franchise architecture (building design that is trademarked or identified with a particular chain or corporation and is generic in nature) is prohibited unless it employs a traditional storefront commercial style. The Sonic building itself is not shaped in a way that distinguishes the building as a Sonic Restaurant, and it also employs a traditional storefront commercial style. For this reason, the proposed building meets the Design Guidelines pertaining to franchise architecture. DRIVE THRU FACILITIES. Drive-thru elements shall be placed to the side or rear of the principal building, and shall not be located between any building facade and Central Avenue. The proposed location of the drive-thru elements is located on the south side of the building, behind the front face of the restaurant. The orientation of the building to Central Avenue is directly related to the location of the drive-thru facilities. Border Foods and City Staff agreed that it would be more desirable to have the drive-thru elements located correctly on the property than to have the building oriented correctly. PRIMARY FACADES. The base or ground floor of the building shall include elements that relate to the human scale, including texture, projections, doors and windows, awnings, canopies or ornamentation. The Sonic building design incorporates a cultured split-face block, windows, awnings and building projections, all achieving the intent of the Design Guidelines. BUILDING COLOR. Principal building colors should consist of subtle, neutral or muted color with low reflectance. The Sonic color scheme includes different shades of gray, which meets the Design Guidelines. FINDINGS OF FACT (Parking Variances) The applicant is proposing two variances per Code Section 9.110 (C) pertaining to parking setback requirements. The first is a 15-foot front yard setback variance, and the Page 4 211 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission January 6, 2009 Sonic, Site Plan Approval, Variances Case # 2009-0102 second is a 5-foot side yard setback variance. Section 1.104 (G) of the Columbia Heights Zoning Code requires that the City Council make each of the following five (5} findings before approving a variance: a) Because of the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to the provisions of this article would cause undue hardship. The subject property is only 100 feet in width. This narrow configuration makes it extremely difficult to place a building, drive aisles, parking stalls and landscaping without needing a variance to do so. The shape of the property, therefore, drives the setback variance requests for parking. b) The conditions upon which the variance is based are unique to the specific parcel of land involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning classification. This property is unique in that the only access it has is via the alleyway to the west. Being that the alley is the only access point, the building, parking stalls and drive aisles have to be placed specifically on the property to accommodate both the business and the general public. There are few other properties along Central Avenue where this is the case. c) The difficulty or hardship is caused by the provisions of this article and has not been created by any person currently having a legal interest in the property. The provision of the City Code requires specific setback standards for parking that would make development on this property very difficult to manage. Although Border Foods split 15 feet of land from this property in order to accommodate the Taco Bell development, those 15 feet were needed to construct the Taco Bell building with no variances. Border Foods was in the process of selling the subject parcel at 4910 Central Avenue, and did not know that they would be able to develop on this land until a few months ago. The overall lot widths for both 4900 and 4910 Central Avenue are not sufficient to accommodate two developments without the need for a setback variance. d) The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan. The Comprehensive Plan guides this property for commercial redevelopment. The granting of the variances would aide in fulfilling the goals of the Comprehensive Plan for this area. Page 5 212 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission January 6, 2009 Sonic, Site Plan Approval, Variances Case # 2009-0102 e) The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development or value of property or improvements in the vicinity. The granting of the variances would enable the development of a new restaurant on what is now undeveloped land. The requested variances will not be detrimental to the public welfare or use of properties in the vicinity. FINDINGS OF FACT (Monument Sign Variance) The applicant is also proposing a 24 square foot area variance for a monument sign per Code Section 9.106 (P)(12). Section 1.104 (G) of the Columbia Heights Zoning Code requires that the City Council make each of the following five (5) findings before approving a variance: a) Because of the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to the provisions of this article would cause undue hardship. The applicant stated that based on the highway speeds along Central Avenue, a 32-square feet LED sign would be the minimum functional size to attract patrons to the restaurant. In order to comply with the newly created Ordinance 1553, which requires that the LED portion of a monument sign be no more than 50% of the total square footage of signage, the total signage was increased to 64 square feet in area. Another hardship on the property is that there is no entrance to this property from Central Avenue. A larger sign would enable patrons to notice the business more appropriately so that they can enter the property from the alley. b) The conditions upon which the variance is based are unique to the specific parcel of land involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning classification. There are very few businesses along Central Avenue with access solely from the alley. The fact that there is no direct access to Central Avenue is a unique aspect of this property. c) The difficulty or hardship is caused by the provisions of this article and has not been created by any person currently having a legal interest in the property. People having a legal interest in the property have not created the hardship. The hardship has been created by the design of the exits and entrances to and from Central Avenue. Page 6 213 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission January 6, 2009 Sonic, Site Plan Approval, Variances Case # 2009-0102 d) The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan. The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for Commercial use. The granting of the variance would aid in the establishment of a permitted use in the General Business District. e) The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development or value of property or improvements in the vicinity. The proposed monument sign will be located away from intersections and will not cause a negative impact on passersby or the general public. FINDINGS OF FACT (Site Plan Approval) Section 9.104 (N) of the Columbia Heights Zoning Code requires that the Planning Commission make each of the following four (4) findings before approving a site plan: 1. The site plan conforms to all applicable requirements of this article. As stated previously, the project site is located in the Design Overlay Highway District. There are two proposed deviations from the Design Guidelines for the construction of the Sonic Restaurant building as currently presented. They include the following: Building Placement. The Design Guidelines require the buildings to have a well-defined front facade with primary entrances facing the street. Buildings should be aligned so that the dominant lines of their facades parallel the line of the street and create a continuous edge. The Sonic building has a well-defined front fagade facing Central Avenue, however, the dominant lines of the building do not face that direction. The dominant facades are perpendicular to Central Avenue rather than parallel, which does not meet the Design Guidelines criterion. After extensive research, Staff determined that the proposed placement of the building on the property is the only location that will adequately provide parking stalls and drive aisle placement, while still providing the adequate space for the building and drive-thru facilities. As stated previously, the orientation of the building and the location of the drive- thru elements are directly related. The applicant and staff agreed that locating the drive-thru elements correctly had a greater visual impact than orienting the building correctly. Building Height. All buildings shall have a minimum cornice height of 22 feet in order to create an increased sense of enclosure and diminish the perceived width Page 7 214 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission January 6, 2009 Sonic, Site Plan Approval, Variances Case # 2009-0102 of the street. This also conveys amulti-story appearance even if the building has only one occupied floor. The majority of the Sonic building will be 16'-6" in height. The front entrance tower, however, will be 22 feet in height. The intent is to have the entire building a minimum of 22 feet in height in order to create atwo-story appearance. With the width of the Sonic building at 28 feet, raising the overall height to 22 feet creates a disproportional appearance to the building, causing it to look abnormal. The overall intent of the Design Guidelines is to create aesthetically appealing structures. The proposed building is proportional in shape and meets this intent. 2. The site plan is consistent with the applicable provisions of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The applicant's proposal is a commercial building, and therefore consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 3. The site plan is consistent with any applicable area plan. Currently, there is no area plan for the proposed project area. 4. The site plan minimizes any adverse impacts on property in the immediate vicinity and the public right-of--way. The proposed plans are consistent with the Zoning Code in regards to building setback and screening from adjacent residentially zoned parcels. For this reason, the site plan minimizes and adverse impacts on property in the immediate vicinity and public rights-of--way. RECOMMENDATION Border Foods have worked closely with City Staff to present a proposal that is consistent with the intent of the Design Guidelines and the Zoning Ordinance. Staff feels that the end product will be an asset to the community, and will aid in the effort to redevelop older portions of Central Avenue. For these reasons, staff recommends approval of the site plan and minor subdivision. Motions: Move to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2009-PZ02, there being ample copies available to the public. Move to adopt Resolution No. 2009-PZ02, being a resolution approving a site plan, for a Sonic restaurant located at 4910 Central Avenue, subject to certain conditions of approval that have been found to be necessary to protect the public interest and ensure compliance with the provisions of the Zoning and Development Ordinance, including: Page 8 215 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission January 6, 2009 Sonic, Site Plan Approval, Variances Case # 2009-0102 1. Prior to at the time of issuing a building permit, surety in the form of a Letter of Credit or cash escrow shall be provided to Public Works in the amount of $5,000 for erosion control & site restoration in accordance with the City storm water management code. This will be returned following completion of turf establishment. 2. A letter of credit (t_OC) needs to be provided prior to at the time of issuing a building permit for the public improvements and site landscaping. The calculation of the LOC shall include the removal and reconstruction of the alley and complete site landscaping x 1.25%. 3. For engineering site inspection, the Developer shall provide $1,500 to be deposited in an engineering escrow account for public ROW improvements, site SWPPP and utility connections. All unused funds are returned to the Developer at project completion. 4. The site storm water management meets City requirements for rate control and infiltration but only partially meets requirements for water quality. A partial storm water management fee has been calculated and applied to the project, payable prior to or at the time of issuing the building permit. 5. To minimize vehicle tracking, all construction traffic shall be directed through the vehicle tracking pads, as indicated on the plan. 6. A drainage easement or agreement is needed for the site's stormwater discharge through the rain garden in the adjacent Taco Bell property. 7. The alley must be maintained as accessible during construction. 8. All erosion control measures shall be installed and inspected by the City prior to any site activities beginning. 9. The screening fence to the west of the alley is a requirement for the commercial property and should be brought to uniform condition. Motion: That the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the 15-foot front yard parking setback variance, the 5-foot side yard parking variance and the 24 square foot area variance for the monument sign for the property located at 4910 Central Avenue subject to certain conditions of approval that have been found to be necessary to protect the public interest and ensure compliance with the provisions of the Zoning and Development Ordinance, including: 1, All application materials including maps, drawings, and descriptive information submitted with the application shall become part of the permit.

RSSDECATUR AV`N SNrtt 4 '° ~~ GOIQENVAI~fY'MN :~IJr574~ t :'~ ' ~ ~.' •- f , Sonic Restaurant Proiect, 4910 Central Ave., Columbia Heights, MN Variance Narrative (Monument Sign): Advertising for the Sonic restaurant in the local media is not in our control as it is controlled by the national franchise of Sonic. Advertising funding from the national franchise is limited in the Twin Cities market due to the limited number of Sonic restaurants in the local area. signage for the development is a key element in attracting and maintaining a viable customer base for long term business success. Brand identity is critical, and the monument sign is a vital component of the signage for the development site. We propose to install a monument sign, as attached, in the north-east corner of the property near Minnesota State Highway 65. The monument sign will incorporate dynamic LED signage compliant with Ordinance No. 1553. The LED portion of the sign will meet the 50% coverage, time of display, and the other standards of the ordinance. As is typical with many franchise businesses, signage colors, materials, equipment, and logo's are supplied by the national franchise. The national franchise of Sonic provides few options for the size of the LED portion of the monument sign. The LED size (32 sf) selected for the monument is seen as the minimum functional size when viewed by the traveling public on Highway 65. To make the monument signage compliant with Ordinance 1553, the total size must then be 64 sf. We are requesting a variance for monument sign size per discussions with City staff and interpretations of the City code, and interpretations of the Columbia Heights Design Guidelines. Staff direction and interpretation is that monument size signage is limited to 40 square feet (sf); therefore we are requesting a variance for an additional 24 sf, which would then result in a monument signage amount of 64 sf. City Ordinance 9.106(p) Sign Regulations defines sign requirements for each zoning district within the City. The code as written is somewhat vague and leaves monument size signage open to interpretation. Code section 12.a.ii gives clear direction for freestanding pylon signs for parcels fronting on a State Trunk Highway, but does not directly address monument signage for these properties. This property is adjacent to Minnesota State Highway 65. It is our interpretation that the monument signage size allowed for this site by the ordinance should be 75 sf for a pylon sign as well as a monument sign as each section of the code (sections 12.a.ii and 12.a.iii) starts with the clarification that the property is, or is not, located adjacent to a State Highway (i.e. 75 sf for parcels adjacent to a State Highway; 40 sf for parcels not adjacent to a State Highway). Therefore, with the interpretation that monument signage for this site is to be limited to 40 sf, we request a variance to be allowed to install a monument with signage at 64 sf. 226 All aluminum construction Square tube 1.5"frame 21 "channel LED letters Exposed blue LED arches Optec LED display i--Square Tube Frame Cabinet 1' Black Trimcap Acrylic Red/Vinyl overlay LEDs RED Power supply & Cabinet Through wall sleeve ~ Returns-red Channel LED Letter an cabinet /- 21"Channel LED letters ~-yellow vinyl ~,~-reverse 5" copy .q ft f~-Electronic LED Display 50" x 94" ,tpl»nruls .Slrret # Clietri ~ Item Sonic Columbia Heights -Monument Sign ~ru+tmgsnreep+e,l Revision 1 ~ Scale 5oxct Per+nits Seles representative MRCP I aWYa r1CP Financ•a /Dx•n p.nt hesiynu•r Dn1c.1.Lf.LGf.L.B CIlelStgle - _ _ , SONIC F~ESTAURANT 4910 CENTRAL AVENUE COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA 2008 SITE RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT - !
