Manager
Doc Smith, EDS Builders, stated that in October he went with Mayor Peterson and Dave Olds
(architect) to California to receive an award for the construction of our Public Safety building.
He stated how very special it was to receive this award. It was accomplished because everyone
was willing to work as a team to make this the best building in the country in 2009. He presented
a plaque to the Mayor for the City and to Walt Fehst, City Manager.
Nawrocki stated that the building turned out very nice, but was built bigger than originally
intended. He did indicate that Mr. Smith did create savings on the project, but the savings were
used elsewhere on the project. Smith indicated that about $30 to $40 a square foot was saved in
construction. Fehst indicated how well he was kept informed during this project and was the best
project he has ever been associated with. Smith indicated that the beauty of the building is
because of the craftsmanship. Police Chief Nadeau indicated he is bias as a tenant of the
building, but it was not over built; it was built to service the community. He complimented Smith
and the contractors.
Williams ask Fire Chief Gorman to comment. Gorman stated the building is built for the future
and recent national articles talk about trends that we have incorporated into this building. As a
resident, he stated his pride in the building. Williams stated that as a "do- nothing" council, we
have accomplished a lot. He asked how long it will be around. Smith stated possibly 100 years.
Williams commented that we should be celebrating this accomplishment. He indicated that crime
is reduced because we have a good Chief and pride in the building. Peterson stated our pride in
this building and indicated he was willing to show anyone the old offices.

stated that we hired a consultant for their expertise.
Motion by Kelzenberg, second by Williams, to award the bid for Council Chamber Technology
Replacement to Video Services Inc. (VSI) based upon their low, qualified, responsible bid in the

Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.
F. Adopt Resolution 2010 -138, being a Resolution to document certain Fund Balance designations and
related policies.

Motion to amend by Nawrocki that the Council would have to approve item #6.
Peterson called for a second to the motion. Motion died for lack of a second.
Joe Kloiber, Assistant Finance Director, stated that items falling between the Last Council
meeting and the end of the year would need a title and GASBY came up with this so someone
would have the authority to do so. It is only for unforeseen circumstances.
Upon vote of the original motion: All ayes. Motion carried.
K. Adopt Resolution 2010 -137, being a Resolution regarding the City Manager's Compensation and
Benefits

regarding the City Manager's compensation and benefits.
Nawrocki stated that as part of the agreement with the City Manager, there would be an annual
performance review. Part of the salary was to be discretionary based on the performance review.
Peterson stated that the review is to be scheduled for April. Nawrocki stated that the pay
adjustment for 2011 does not match the budget book or the LMC amount. Fehst stated this
reference was for deferred compensation and was never intended to be temporary. Fehst strongly
disagreed with Council member Nawrocki and referred to the compensation he receives.
Nawrocki indicated that this shows the questionable competency of the City Manager.

1 nay. Motion carried.
L. Authorize Mayor and City Manager to Enter Into Agreement for Towing Contractor
Chief Nadeau stated that in the June 2010 bid, Schmidt Towing was the successful bidder. Since
that time we discovered a vehicle was dropped during a tow, which breaks the chain of custody.
We expressed our concerns and met with them. We were assured it would not happen again.
Subsequent to that another vehicle was abandoned. We discussed this with the City Attorney and
notified the company that we would exercise our right to end the towing contract. This request is
for the bid to go to the next lowest bidder, which was our previous towing company. There were
no problems with that company.
Motion by Kelzenberg, second by Diehm, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into
an agreement with Jeff's Bobby and Steve's AutoWorld for towing, impounding and storage of
motor vehicles as specified in the City's Request and set forth in AutoWorld's response to the
City's Request. The term of this contract is to be March 2, 2011 through July 31, 2012, unless
terminated sooner pursuant to the termination provision.
Nawrocki commented on vehicle liability. Nadeau stated that evidence issues were a concern and
we have a reputation to assure that vehicles are taken to a safe area. Jim Hoeft, City Attorney,
spoke to the importance of the chain of custody regarding evidence.
Upon vote: Kelzenberg, aye; Williams, abstain; Diehm, aye; Nawrocki, aye; Peterson, aye. 4

has been vacant and is on the list of abandoned properties.

ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
A. Other Ordinances and Resolutions
Adopt Resolution 2010 -131 being a Resolution adopting a budget for the year 2011, setting the
City Levy and approving the HRA Levy.
Motion by Kelzenberg, second by Williams, to waive the reading of Resolution 2010 -131, there
being ample copies available to the public. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.
Motion by Kelzenberg, second by Williams, to adopt Resolution 2010 -131, being a Resolution
adopting a budget for the year 2011, setting the City Levy, and approving the HRA Levy.
Nawrocki stated that he opposed the budget as originally presented. It was then cut
approximately in half, but expenditures were not decreased. Most communities are trying to
reduce and recognize the loss of jobs and income. Over 13 percent of our homes have gone tax
forfeit. Nawrocki stated that he had proposed $200,000 to $300,000 in changes at a previous
meeting. He indicated disappointment that the budget allows for travel and meals for city
personnel in and out of the state but not for Council members. One exception this year should be
for expenditures for Council meals for city business. Expenditures are not allowed for city
business, but are allowed for social gatherings. He indicated that our new Council member
should be allowed to attend League meetings and other meetings dealing with items of interest.
Motion to amend by Nawrocki to add to the budget the amount allowed for travel for council
members and meals for meetings dealing with city business, between $2,000 and $3,000.
Diehm stated that it was her motion last year to remove that item. This was to show that we can
start cut backs with ourselves. We want to be sure staff attends training, but as part time council
members we should not expect to get reimbursed for our mileage. As for the incoming member,
it was part of her platform to serve for less. She stated that she saw no reason to change and
strongly opposed the amendment.
Peterson called for a second to the motion. Motion died for lack of a second.
Nawrocki presented his check for $15 for the city holiday lunch to the Finance Director. He
stated that if individual council members pay for meetings, they should also pay for social
gatherings.
Upon vote: Kelzenberg, aye; Williams, aye; Diehm, aye; Nawrocki, nay; Peterson, aye. 4 ayes —
1 nay. Motion carried.
B. Bid Considerations
Residential Water Meter Battery Replacement Program and Commercial Meter Replacement
Program
12
City Council Minutes
Monday, December 13, 2010
Page 8 of 16
Kevin Hansen, Public Works Director, indicated that ten years ago we went to a radio read meter
system. The batteries were estimated to last seven years and we are past that. We also need to
finish the infiltration program in a small part of the city, which could be done at the same time.
Based on bids received, we recommend R &R Services. We are also asking to replace 382
commercial meters that are inaccurate because of their age and request authorization to prepare
plans and specs and to go out for bids. About 80 of the commercial meters are the larger, more
expensive type.
Nawrocki stated he thought this would approve the commercial meter bids. Hansen explained the
bids received were for residential water meter batteries.
Motion by Williams, second by Kelzenberg, to authorize the purchase of approximately 5,500
water meter batteries from HD Supply in the amount of $94,600; and to accept the proposal and
approve a contract with SL -Serco of St. Anthony, Minnesota for the installation of City provided
water meter batteries citywide in the amount of $132,000; and $7,050 for approximately 2,350
SPDP inspections. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.
Motion by Williams, second by Kelzenberg, to order the Advertisement for Bids for the
Commercial Meter Replacement and Installation Program, City Project Number 1105. Upon
vote: All ayes. Motion carried.
C. New Business and Reports - none
Nawrocki requested that the Spring newsletter recruit residents for Board and Commission
appointments and that members with terms to expire be sent a letter to see if they are interested
in being reappointed. He requested that the newsletter be approved by Council members prior to
printing, allowing enough time for comment and review before printing. Peterson stated that
articles must be submitted in a timely manner. The newsletter will be delivered March 2.
Nawrocki gave the history on beginning the newsletter for City Council members to dispense
information to the public. Somewhere along the line the Council has lost input into the
newsletter. Peterson stated that individual Council members can not add or delete information on
their whim. Changes should be by consensus of the Council. Fehst stated that Council members
will receive a draft of the newsletter for their review.
Nawrocki asked why the other union contracts were not included for approval. Fehst stated that
we do not have them yet.
Nawrocki stated that he attended the last County meeting. Information included dropping the
light rail transportation from St. Cloud to Big Lake. Ridership has not lived up to their
expectations.
Nawrocki stated that he attended the Immaculate Conception DARE graduation and that our
police do a good job with this program. He encouraged attendance at the December 22 Valley
View DARE graduation.

CITIZENS FORUM
Mary Miller, 720 38 Avenue, expressed concern that her neighbors are lodging complaints against
her to the City. She passed out pictures of her fence, which has been there since 1996. She stated that
she did not know there was an ordinance to have her fence facing out. The Planning Department has
given her until June to replace the fence. The only part of the fence that is visible is on the alley side.
Miller requested a special permit. Peterson stated he would like to visit the site and address this at a
later meeting. Nawrocki questioned if the contractor took out a permit for this fence. Fehst stated that
we used to issue permits for fences, but no longer do so.
Michelle Ferreira, 4422 Central Avenue, thanked the City for the great job of clearing snow from our
streets. She stated that she watches people struggle while walking the Central Avenue corridor. She
questioned if the City could clear the sidewalks, especially from Target to 37 Avenue. Fehst
indicated that we have begun removing snow from the right -of -ways and is aware that people are
endangering themselves by walking in the streets. Hansen stated that we do not remove snow from
Central Avenue, but we will remove snow tonight from 3:00 to 4:00 a.m. between 37 to 43
Avenues. We do not have the resources to shovel snow off those sidewalks. Owners are required, by
ordinance, to remove that snow. We also do some intersections where visibility is compromised and
contact the transit company to remove snow from their areas. Hansen complimented our crews on the
job they did. Crews will be diverted this week to continue snow removal. She again indicated her
compliments, but indicated concern for residents on Central Avenue. Fehst stated that where
commercial owners are responsible for clearing snow, we will notify them. It would then be charged
to their taxes.
Nawrocki commended City crews on the job they did during this snow storm. They did a good job of
making the city passable. He stated that in Minneapolis, where they only took one pass, people were
getting stuck. He reminded Ferreira that Central Avenue from 45 to 53 Avenue is the City of
Hilltop. We need to notify the owner at the corner of 44 and Central Avenues to remove the
sidewalk snow.
Peterson indicated that Patty Muscovitz, City Clerk, has been voted by her peers to be Employee of
the Year. She received a round of applause.
Peterson stated that this is Council member Kelzenberg's last meeting. He stated his pleasure working
with him for the last eight years. We will miss his humor and wish him well.
Kelzenberg stated that it has been a pleasure serving the citizens of Columbia Heights. We have
accomplished a lot over the last eight years.
Peterson wished everyone a Happy Holiday and asked them to appreciate our service men and women
even more as they are away from their families at this time. He stated "Don't take ourselves too
seriously and to do a random act of kindness - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year."

Mayor Peterson adjourned the meeting at 8:45 p.m.

NEW BUSINESS
A. Recommendation of Award of Bid for Council Chambers Technology Replacement
Linda Magee distributed results of the bids received for the new equipment needed to update the
City's Cable Studio. She explained that Elert and Associates helped develop the bid specs for the
City since they began working with the City in August 2007 to evaluate the existing equipment and
technology system and to develop a plan for the eventual replacement. The initial report was
provided to the City in November 2007, and was updated to include the Library's audiovisual needs
in January 2008. Elert & Associates was engaged in August 2010 to update the assessment report
and new replacement plan. Linda then introduced Will Craig from Elert so he could further explain
the process and answer any questions the commissioners had.
Mr. Craig stated that Elert & Associates released the RFB in mid November, 2010, to five vendors
who have worked on similar projects. A Pre -bid meeting was held November 16 an addendum
was added December 1 and the bids were opened December 6 Of the five contacted, three
companies submitted bids. The other two companies were too busy to do the work in the timeframe
stipulated.
Craig stated that all three bids were lower than the estimate of $162,500 contained in the initial
assessment reports. He felt that was due to the competitive bidding climate and the companies were
looking for work.
Peterson asked if this is a firm bid, or if there was a chance of cost over -runs? Craig said the bid
specs were carefully written to prevent additional charges. The companies were required to break
down the bids detailing the equipment, labor, training and warranties. Whichever company is
awarded the bid, will have to adhere to their bid price. He further explained that each vendor bid the
same equipment, as required by the bid specs. Therefore, the differences in the bids were primarily
due to differences in the labor charges.
Craig told members that all three companies have done work for Elert and other cities before and all
three are competent and have certified people doing the work. He listed some of the projects each
had been involved in recently. Craig said that after receiving the bids, they were reviewed and the
companies were contacted with any issues that were identified, so that revisions could be made to
the bid if necessary. He reviewed the three issues that were found which did impact the original bid
amounts. The final bids received are as follows:
Alpha Video $150,807.27
Audio Vidor Electronics (AVE) $141,913.26
Video Services Inc (VSI) $138,141.75
Therefore, staff and Elert & Associatees recommend the contract be awarded to Video Services Inc.
(VSI).
Henke asked if the City has to pay sales tax on the equipment? Craig said, yes, and that the amount
is included in the bid.
Peterson asked if it includes the removal of the old equipment and old cabling? Craig said they will
remove and dispose of all the equipment and cabling. The labor to do this, and the disposal fees
were included in the bid amounts. The City will not have to deal with disposing of any of the old
equipment.

Stroik asked if they would start soon? Craig stated that they are scheduled to start the beginning of
January and that the project should be completed in approximately two weeks. Linda stated they will
probably videotape the first meeting in January with a single camera, but the new system should be up
and running for the second meeting in January. She went on to inform the members that the bid also
includes training of staff. The cameras, micro controls, and audio equipment will need minimal training.
The storage and distribution of the programming will require the most training. Craig said a local
manufacturer's representative from St. Paul, will be on hand to do the training. He explained that the bid
included a "Gold" warranty package that is the top warranty service and will provide the best technical
support possible during the first year.
Craig also reviewed the equipment the Library is getting. He explained that we will have a two channel
video server and separate modulators since the programming goes on two different channels. Craig told
members that the character generator will be part of the scheduler system so that information will
automatically be picked up off the scheduler and be included in the character generator messages.
Craig was asked if editing equipment was included in the bid. He stated that editing equipment was not
included since we will not be doing any programming in house. This is not being set up as a production
studio.
Nawrocki asked how the parade would be covered. Linda told him we would have to contract it out to
another entity that does production, such as North Suburban that has a mobile production van for such
events. It would be cost prohibitive for the City to set up a production van for only a few events. She
said the other option would be to record the event with a single video cam. She explained that Comcast
used to record the parade for us when they had a production van, but she thought the last few years, they
also were contracting with North Suburban to do the coverage. Nawrocki said he thought the NE
Minneapolis parade was recorded without a production van, so why couldn't we do the same? Bryan
Olson stated that MTN Public Access does the recording of that parade and that they use the CTV
production van.
Nawrocki then asked what the maintenance costs would be for this new system? Craig said there
wouldn't much for maintenance expenses, except batteries for the wireless microphones. He did tell
members that most of the equipment has a life expectancy of approximately 10 years, so replacement
and updating will need to begin somewhere in that timeframe.
Nawrocki then asked how much the Library's portion of this is costing? Craig estimated that the
Library's share is about $10,000- $12,000. Nawrocki said he wasn't sure it's worth the value to keep the
Library Channel going.
Nawrocki then stated that he was disappointed that the Commission wasn't involved earlier in the
process to discuss the equipment, help make recommendations and to determine how far we should go
with the new system. He said if the members had been involved, maybe the consulting costs would
have been lower.
Henke responded to Nawrocki's comments saying that he could never have come up with this extensive
and detailed of a list for equipment needed for the new system. He didn't feel he would have enough
expertise in this area, and that the consultant had more knowledge of what exactly is needed and what
equipment would best fit our needs.

Peterson asked if the equipment could be updated as technology advances? Craig said some software
upgrades would be possible and capacity could be increased, but for the most part as long as the system
works, there wouldn't be a need to do so. He again reminded members that replacement of some of this
equipment would probably be necessary in 10 years or so.
Bryan Olson who attended the meeting asked several questions regarding the equipment that was chosen
and wanted details on what each piece would be used for. He also asked Mr. Craig if his firm worked
on the Duluth system. He told him that Elert was not involved in that system.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
CASE NUMBER: 2011 -0101
APPLICANT: Matthew Long
LOCATION: 4849 Central Avenue NE
REQUEST: Site Plan Approval for Second Monument Sign
INTRODUCTION
Sargent stated that Savers is requesting a Site Plan Approval in order to locate a second freestanding
monument sign on their property. Currently, Savers utilizes a freestanding pylon sign adjacent to Central
Avenue near the main entrance. On May 4, 2010, The Planning Commission approved a Site Plan for the
construction of a new loading dock and a square foot area variance for signage on the building. Savers also
expanded into the vacant end unit of the building and moved their primary entrance closer to Central
Avenue.
The construction of the loading dock and expansion into the remainder of the building was concurrent with
the construction of the new pedestrian bridge at the intersection of 49 Avenue and Central Avenue.
Savers would like to install a second freestanding monument sign at this intersection to help regain
visibility to the building that they felt was lost due to the construction of the bridge. The requirement for a
Site Plan approval is necessary because this 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 site plan meets the intent of the Comprehensive
Plan.
ZONING ORDINANCE
The property is located in the GB, General Business, as are the properties to the south. The properties to
the east are zoned residential and MXD, Mixed Use Development. The properties to the north are zoned
commercial and residential, and the properties to the west are located in the City of Hilltop. The subject
parcel is also located within the Design Overlay Highway District, and is subject the regulations for such
properties.

PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES

MONUMENT SIGNS. The GB, General Business District allows for a second freestanding monument
sign if the following conditions are met:
1. The building contains more than 80,000 square feet of gross floor area or the site on which the
building is located contains more than 90,000 square feet of surface area;
Although the building is only about 34,000 square feet in area, the site on which the building is
located is 3.25 acres (141,570 square feet in area).
2. The street frontage of the site on which the building or structure is located exceeds 150 feet in
length, and;
The street frontage along Central Avenue is approximately 350 feet.
3. The building is located 20 feet or more from the front lot line and is located adjacent to a state
trunk highway.
The building is located approximately 50 feet from the property line along Central Avenue.
Central Avenue is a state highway.
Because these conditions are met, the second freestanding monument sign is permitted, but can be no more
than eight (8) feet in height, no more than 40 square feet per side, and must be located at least five (5) feet
from all property lines and no closer than fifty (50) feet from any other freestanding sign on the property.
The proposed plans indicate that the sign will be approximately 6.5 feet in height, 40 square feet in area,
and initially was going to be located 5 feet from the north and west property lines. The proposed location
of the sign will be approximately 180 feet from the existing pylon sign along Central Avenue. Sargent told
members the location of the 2 sign has changed based on a recommendation from our Public Works
Director. He passed out a drawing depicting the change in location. He said the original proposal placed
the sign in the 30 -foot utility easement which is used by several utilities and includes a gas main. The
company has agreed to re- locate the new sign at Least five feet from that easement area. He noted that the
Resolution had also been amended to add the conditions necessary to accommodate this change.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
The Columbia Heights Design Guidelines were created to guide developers and businesses in the design of
expansions, renovations or new construction of buildings or parking within the Central Avenue and 40
Avenue commercial corridors, and to assist City officials and staff in reviewing development proposals.
The guidelines are mandatory, but the City may permit alternative approaches that meet the objectives of
the design guidelines. The design district that is applied to the Savers store is the Highway District.
FREESTANDING SIGNAGE. The Design Guidelines permit monument freestanding signage only. Such
signage may not be internally lit and must be architecturally compatible with the principal structure. The
proposed sign utilizes a masonry base that matches the building and will not be internally lit. For these
reasons, the proposed sign meets the Design Guideline specifications.
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 all applicable requirements of this article
The proposed site plan meets all the Design Guidelines standards for building materials and
illumination for freestanding monument signs.
2. The site plan is consistent with the applicable provisions of the city's comprehensive plan.
The proposed site plan is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in that the proposal will upgrade
an existing commercial business and will enhance the image and viability of the Central Avenue
corridor.
3. The site plan is consistent with any applicable area plan.
27
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES
JANUARY 4, 2011
Page 3
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 site plan involves the construction of a second monument sign, which will be located
near the intersection of 49 Avenue and Central Avenue. The city anticipates that there will be no
adverse impact on the property in the immediate vicinity and the public right -of -way.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed site plan, as it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and
the Design Guidelines with the following conditions:
1. All application materials, maps, drawings, and descriptive information shall become part of the
perm it.
2. The monument sign shall be located no closer than five (5) feet from the utility easement along
Central Avenue, as depicted in the approved site plan.
Questions by members:
Szurek asked how tall the existing Pylon Sign was. Sargent said he estimates it is about 20 feet high, and
that it is grandfathered in. He noted the new sign will be a monument style and will be about 6 'A ft high
and meets the current guidelines.
Peterson thought the intersection is already cluttered enough with the new bridge and traffic lights. He
doesn't feel the new sign will be that visible from Central Avenue traffic, so wonders why they would go
through the expense of installing one. He thought it would be a better location if it were constructed further
east on 49 Avenue.
Sargent stated it isn't the Commission's job to pick the location of the signage- -that is up to the individual
business, as long as it meets the requirements. If the members have an issue with aesthetics for the City
overall, then the Commission may need to consider a change in the Ordinance to change the requirements
to address those concerns. He reminded members that they cannot make their decisions based on what they
would like, but rather what is allowed under the present code.
Thompson agreed that he thought the additional signage would be a wasted expense, but that cannot be the
Commission's decision.
Peterson said he was comfortable allowing the sign since it will not be lit and won't be that visible. He, too,
understands it meets the requirements, and is therefore allowed, and that it is up to the company to decide
whether it is advantageous to install or not.
Public Hearing Opened.
No one was present to speak on this issue.
Public Hearing Closed.
Motion by Thompson, seconded by Peterson, to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2011 -PZ01, there

CASE NUMBER: 2011 -0102
APPLICANT: City of Columbia Heights
LOCATION: City Wide
REQUEST: Zoning Amendment Pertaining to Driveways
Szurek stated that she had had conversations with Thompson regarding this matter and they would like to
see this issue tabled until spring when some examples could be viewed.
Sargent told the members this amendment to the Ordinance is one of many that staff will be bringing before
the Commission in an attempt to clarify and update our City Code because the language used was unclear
in several areas.
BACKGROUND
Sargent stated that Staff is proposing this ordinance change that would effect the setback and location
requirements for residential driveways. After reviewing the Zoning Code, staff feels that the current
language pertaining to setbacks should be amended to better reflect today's housing standards and uses of
residential properties.
29
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES
JANUARY 4, 2011
Page 5
As part of this process, staff will also look into the possibility of requiring a building permit for the
construction or reconstruction of future driveways. The justification is to enable staff to determine whether
the placement of driveways on residential properties meets the minimum setback requirements, as well as
allowing staff to better monitor the impervious surface area calculations for those properties located in the
Shoreland Overlay Districts.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
One of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan is to preserve and reinvest in the housing stock to protect
values and investment in the city. The proposed ordinance amendment would allow residents to have
greater flexibility in the placement of driveways on their lots, which would give opportunity to reinvest in
their homes.
ZONING ORDINANCE
The proposed amendments made to the Zoning Ordinance would include language regarding the setbacks
and locations of residential driveways within the city. The proposed changes include:
1. Residential lots platted prior to the effective date of this Code and having a lot width of sixty
(60) feet or less, shall maintain a minimum side yard setback of one (1) foot in all districts.
2. Residential lots platted after the effective date of this Code or having a lot width greater than
sixty (60) feet shall maintain a minimum side yard setback of three (3) feet in all districts.
3. The creation of a joint driveway use between neighboring property owners shall require a
Conditional Use Permit.
4. Driveways may only lead directly to, or be contiguous to driveways leading to, an attached or
detached garage.
5. In all zoning districts, driveways shall be no less than twelve (12) feet in width.
Sargent told members this change would actually make it easier for residents who have the small lots, since
the current setback is three (3) feet, and would be changing to one (1) foot for those properties. He also
stated that by issuing a permit, staff would be checking to make sure residents aren't encroaching onto
neighboring properties. Currently, we have no way to prevent that from happening. Sargent stated this will
only affect new driveways or expansions of existing driveways. Staff will not make residents remove what
currently is in place.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Section 9.104 (F) of the Columbia Heights zoning code requires that the City Council make each of the
following four findings before approving a zoning amendment:
1. The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
One of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan is to preserve and reinvest in the housing stock to
protect values and investment in the city. The proposed ordinance amendment would allow
residents to have greater flexibility in the placement of driveways on their lots, which would give
opportunity to reinvest in their homes.
2. The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a single property
owner.
The proposed amendment would be effective for all residential properties within the city.
3. Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, the existing
use of the property and the zoning classification of property within the general area of the
property in question are compatible with the proposed zoning classification.
Not applicable.
4. Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, there has
been a change in the character or trend of development in the general area of the property in
30
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES

question, which has taken place since such property was placed in the current zoning
classification.
Not applicable.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Zoning Amendment.
Questions from members:
Thompson again stated he will vote no on this. He wants to wait until spring so the Commission can better
visualize what the change may mean.
Sargent again reminded the members this would only affect new driveways, not existing.
Peterson said he had no problem with the proposed change.
Szurek said she had concern that this would prohibit parking pads and some residents need them to meet
the off street parking requirement. Sargent said the current ordinance states that driveways are only
allowed that lead to a garage, but without the permitting process, there is no way to regulate placement of
parking surfaces. He also said this change would relocate the language in the Ordinance to make it easier
to access all the information. As stated before, this would enable staff to check for drainage issues,
setbacks (that will be less restrictive), lot coverage, and impervious surface area in the shoreline districts.
Gary Peterson stated he doesn't object to the permitting process, but doesn't feel staff should inspect or
approve the actual work as he worries about residents thinking that guarantees the surface will last for "X"
amount of years just because it was inspected. He said there are many factors that can affect a driveway
surface such as the concrete mix itself, lack of proper sealing and maintenance, settling or shifting of the
ground under the driveway, etc. The idea to make it a zoning permit rather than a building permit was
discussed.
Public Hearing Opened.
Mark Roskop who lives at 4151 Stinson Blvd said he opposes the change. He said it is just another
example of more government involvement where there shouldn't be any. He said staff is making more
work, for no reason. Roskop also told members to call it what it is, another tax.
Sargent explained that only the language clarification is being decided tonight. The actual permitting
process and amount of the fee is not being decided at this time.
Public Hearing Closed.
Motion by Peterson, seconded by Szurek, that the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council
approve the proposed zoning amendment. Peterson and Szurek — aye and Thompson — nay. MOTION
PASSED.

LOCATION: City Wide
REQUEST: Zoning Amendment Pertaining to Fence Regulations
BACKGROUND
Currently, city regulations pertaining to fences are located in two separate sections of the City Code. The
first location is at Chapter 6, Article IV of the Municipal Code, which deals with building and construction
standards. The second location is at Chapter 9, Article I, which is the Zoning Code. Staff feels that these
two sections should be combined and located in one area of the City Code in order to make it easier for the
general public to gather the necessary information when constructing a fence.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
One of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan is to preserve and reinvest in the housing stock to protect
values and investment in the city. The proposed ordinance amendment would make it easier for the general
public to gather the necessary information when constructing a fence.
ZONING ORDINANCE
The following outlines the key aspects of the proposed ordinance change:
1. Chapter 6, Article IV of the Municipal Code would be deleted in its entirety.
1. The construction standards from Chapter 6, Article IV of the Municipal Code will be
transferred to the Zoning Code.
2. Residential fences greater than six (6) feet in height will require a Conditional Use Permit.
3. Non - residential fences greater than seven (7) feet in height shall require a Conditional use
Permit.
4. Barbed wire fences will still be allowed in the industrial district, but will now require a
Conditional Use Permit.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Section 9.104 (F) of the Columbia Heights zoning code requires that the City Council make each of the
following four findings before approving a zoning amendment:
1. The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
One of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan is to preserve and reinvest in the housing stock to
protect values and investment in the city. The proposed ordinance amendment would make it easier
for the general public to gather the necessary information when constructing a fence.
2. The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a single property
owner.
The proposed amendment would be effective for all properties within the city.
3. Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, the
existing use of the property and the zoning classification of property within the general area of the
property in question are compatible with the proposed zoning classification.
Not applicable.

4. Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, there
has been a change in the character or trend of development in the general area of the

NEW BUSINESS
Sargent stated we are operating one member short. The vacancy is advertised on the website. He said a
new Vice -Chair will need to be appointed once the vacancy is filled.
Sargent noted the tentative 2011 schedule was included in the agenda packet. Thompson noted that he has
an issue with the meetings that have been re- scheduled for Wednesdays in July, August, and September.
He feels they could still be held on Tuesdays, regardless of the City Council's schedule.

Gary Peterson asked what the members thought about getting a P51 plane for the round -about on Huset
Parkway to honor our servicemen. He said the Arts bids submitted thus far are approximately $50,000. He
thinks we could get the plane shipped here and construct the base for less cost. The members were
receptive to the idea. Thompson suggested he contact the Air Force Museum to get additional information
for the cost of the base and what the general maintenance costs would be.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 pm.

ITEM: DESIGNATING AN OFFICIAL BY: WILLIAM ELRITE BY:
NEWSPAPER FOR 2011
NO: DATE: DECEMBER 29, 2010
Each year the City Council designates an official newspaper for publishing of legal notices and
other required publications. 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 2011 rate is
$5.40 per line for legal notices.
The following is a comparison of the 2010 rates to the 2011 rates for the Sun Focus News:
2010 Rate 2011 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)
The Sun Focus News has not increased their rates for 2011; however, the Star Tribune rates
increased by $2.00 per line. A quote was not requested from The Northeaster as they have
declined to provide a quote in past years.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to designate Sun Focus News as the official City
newspaper for 2011 and to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement with
Sun Focus News for required publications.

ITEM: DESIGNATE OFFICIAL DEPOSITORIES BY JOSEPH KLOIBER BY:
FOR THE CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS a
DATE: JANUARY 5, 2011
RESOLUTION NUMBER 2011 - 001
Each year the council designates by resolution the depositories for city funds and investments.
The attached resolution follows the general format of the resolution passed in previous years.
Under this resolution, investment firms that may be used by the city must be located in the State
of Minnesota, and all investments must comply with authorized investments as set forth in
Minnesota statutes.
Although the City's general banking transactions are conducted through Northeast Bank, the
City of Columbia Heights does maintain accounts at Wells Fargo Bank of Minnesota, N.A. and
U.S. Bank for certain ancillary or specialized services.
It is staff's recommendation that we maintain these three banking relationships as they meet the
City's current needs and, in combination, they provide capacity for addressing the City's
evolving needs for electronic banking services.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2011 -001, there being
ample copies available to the public.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 2011 -001, being a resolution
designating official depositories for the City of Columbia Heights.

ITEM: 1st Reading of Ordinance 1588, being a BY Jeff Sargent, City Planner BY:
Zoning Amendment as it Relates to Driveways. DATE: January 5, 2011 "`
y .
BACKGROUND:
At this time, City Staff is proposing an ordinance change that would effect the setback and location
requirements for residential driveways. After reviewing the Zoning Code, staff feels that the current language
pertaining to setbacks should be amended to better reflect today's housing standards and uses of residential
properties. The amendment would allow for driveways to be placed as close as one (1) foot from the side lot
line for those lots less than 60 feet in width, and as close as three (3) feet from the side lot line for those lots
greater than 60 feet in width.
As part of this process, staff will also look into the possibility of requiring a building permit for the construction
or reconstruction of future driveways. The justification is to enable staff to determine whether the placement of
driveways on residential properties meets the minimum setback requirements, as well as allowing staff to better
monitor the impervious surface area calculations for those properties located in the Shoreland Overlay Districts.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing for the request on January 4, 2011. The Planning
Commission recommended approval of the Zoning Amendment with a 2 -1 vote at the meeting.
RECOMMENDED MOTIONS:
MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1588, there being ample copies available to the public.
MOTION: Move to set the second reading of Ordinance No. 1588, for Monday, January 24, 2011, at
approximately 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers.

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PLANNING REPORT
CASE NUMBER: 2011 -0102
DATE: January 4, 2011
TO: Columbia Heights Planning Commission
APPLICANT: City of Columbia Heights
LOCATION: City Wide
REQUEST: Zoning Amendment Pertaining to Driveways
PREPARED BY: Jeff Sargent, City Planner
BACKGROUND
At this time, City Staff is proposing an ordinance change that would effect the setback and
location requirements for residential driveways. After reviewing the Zoning Code, staff feels
that the current language pertaining to setbacks should be amended to better reflect
today's housing standards and uses of residential properties.
As part of this process, staff will also look into the possibility of requiring a building permit
for the construction or reconstruction of future driveways. The justification is to enable staff
to determine whether the placement of driveways on residential properties meets the
minimum setback requirements, as well as allowing staff to better monitor the impervious
surface area calculations for those properties located in the Shoreland Overlay Districts.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
One of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan is to preserve and reinvest in the housing
stock to protect values and investment in the city. The proposed ordinance amendment
would allow residents to have greater flexibility in the placement of driveways on their Tots,
which would give opportunity to reinvest in their homes.
ZONING ORDINANCE
The proposed amendments made to the Zoning Ordinance would include language
regarding the setbacks and locations of residential driveways within the city. The proposed
changes include:
1. Residential Tots platted prior to the effective date of this Code and having a lot
width of sixty (60) feet or less, shall maintain a minimum side yard setback of
one (1) foot in all districts.
2. Residential Tots platted after the effective date of this Code or having a lot width
greater than sixty (60) feet shall maintain a minimum side yard setback of three
(3) feet in all districts.
3. The creation of a joint driveway use between neighboring property owners shall
require a Conditional Use Permit.

City of Columbia Heights, Driveways Case # 2011 -0102
4. Driveways may only lead directly to, or be contiguous to driveways leading to,
an attached or detached garage.
5. In all zoning districts, driveways shall be no less than twelve (12) feet in width.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Section 9.104 (F) of the Columbia Heights zoning code requires that the City Council make
each of the following four findings before approving a zoning amendment:
1. The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
One of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan is to preserve and reinvest in the
housing stock to protect values and investment in the city. The proposed ordinance
amendment would allow residents to have greater flexibility in the placement of
driveways on their lots, which would give opportunity to reinvest in their homes.
2. The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a
single property owner.
The proposed amendment would be effective for all residential properties within the
city.
3. Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular
property, the existing use of the property and the zoning classification of property
within the general area of the property in question are compatible with the
proposed zoning classification.
Not applicable.
4. Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular
property, there has been a change in the character or trend of development in
the general area of the property in question, which has taken place since such
property was placed in the current zoning classification.
Not applicable.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Zoning Amendment.
Motion: That the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the
proposed zoning amendment.

ITEM: 1st Reading of Ordinance 1589, being a BY Jeff Sargent, City Planner :�
Zoning Amendment as it Relates to Fences. DATE: January 5, 2011
BACKGROUND:
Currently, city regulations pertaining to fences are located in two separate sections of the City BY Code. The first
location is at Chapter 6, Article IV of the Municipal Code, which deals with building and construction standards.
The second location is at Chapter 9, Article I, which is the Zoning Code. Staff feels that these two sections
should be combined and located in one area of the City Code in order to make it easier for the general public to
gather the necessary information when constructing a fence. The proposed ordinance change eliminates Code
Section 6.401 from the code and transplants the pertinent information to Code Section 9.106.
The current ordinance requires a "Special Fence Permit" for fences greater than 6'/2 feet in height, however the
City of Columbia Heights does not have a process in place to approve such a permit. Instead, the proposed
ordinance would require a Conditional Use Permit for any residential fence greater than six (6) feet in height.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing for the request on January 4, 2011. The Planning
Commission recommended approval of the Zoning Amendment with a 3 -0 vote at the meeting.
RECOMMENDED MOTIONS:
MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1589, there being ample copies available to the public.
MOTION: Move to set the second reading of Ordinance No. 1589, for Monday, January 24, 2011, at

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PLANNING REPORT
CASE NUMBER: 2011 -0103
DATE: January 4, 2011
TO: Columbia Heights Planning Commission
APPLICANT: City of Columbia Heights
LOCATION: City Wide
REQUEST: Zoning Amendment Pertaining to Fence Regulations
PREPARED BY: Jeff Sargent, City Planner
BACKGROUND
Currently, city regulations pertaining to fences are located in two separate sections of the
City Code. The first location is at Chapter 6, Article IV of the Municipal Code, which deals
with building and construction standards. The second location is at Chapter 9, Article I,
which is the Zoning Code. Staff feels that these two sections should be combined and
located in one area of the City Code in order to make it easier for the general public to
gather the necessary information when constructing a fence.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
One of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan is to preserve and reinvest in the housing
stock to protect values and investment in the city. The proposed ordinance amendment
would make it easier for the general public to gather the necessary information when
constructing a fence.
ZONING ORDINANCE
The following outlines the key aspects of the proposed ordinance change:
1. Chapter 6, Article IV of the Municipal Code would be deleted in its entirety.
2. The construction standards from Chapter 6, Article IV of the Municipal Code will
be transferred to the Zoning Code.
3. Residential fences greater than six (6) feet in height will require a Conditional
Use Permit.
4. Non - residential fences greater than seven (7) feet in height shall require a
Conditional use Permit.

City of Columbia Heights, Fence Regulations Case # 2011 -0103
5. Barbed wire fences will still be allowed in the industrial district, but will now
require a Conditional Use Permit.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Section 9.104 (F) of the Columbia Heights zoning code requires that the City Council make
each of the following four findings before approving a zoning amendment:
1. The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
One of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan is to preserve and reinvest in the
housing stock to protect values and investment in the city. The proposed ordinance
amendment would make it easier for the general public to gather the necessary
information when constructing a fence.
2. The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a
single property owner.
The proposed amendment would be effective for all properties within the city.
3. Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular
property, the existing use of the property and the zoning classification of property
within the general area of the property in question are compatible with the
proposed zoning classification.
Not applicable.
4. Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular
property, there has been a change in the character or trend of development in
the general area of the property in question, which has taken place since such
property was placed in the current zoning classification.
Not applicable.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Zoning Amendment.
Motion: That the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the
proposed zoning amendment.
