Motion carried.
D. Approve appointment to the Traffic Commission
Peterson indicated the background of Mr. Olson and indicated he would like to appoint him.
Nawrocki questioned if we advertised this opening. Peterson stated this was advertised on our
web site and Channel 16. Diehm stated there is currently an opening on the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
Motion by Williams, second by Nawrocki, to appoint Leonard Olson to the Traffic Commission
for the vacant term to expire April 2012.
Schmitt asked why it took so long to act on this. Muscovitz explained the process and priorities.
Schmitt asked when Council would meet on the next appointment. Fehst stated that prior to a
work session or council meeting the Council will meet with each candidate for fifteen minutes.
Diehm indicated we should allow time for additional applicants. Nawrocki stated it should be

Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.

with Sun Focus News for required publications. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.
H. 1st Reading Ordinance 1587. being an Ordinance authorizing to convey certain real estate
Nawrocki questioned the reason for this ordinance. Scott Clark, Community Development
Director, stated this is being operated through tax increment dollars and in 2009 the EDA began
purchasing homes in the private market with the contingency that the city body would authorize
the purchases within seven days, as a matter of convenience since the EDA only meets twice a
month. The understanding was that the City Council would return the parcels to the EDA. The
resolution passed at that time allowed the Council to be the agent of the property. The funds are
almost extinguished and the city wishes to move the properties back to the EDA ledger. Once the
EDA gets the sites back they will discuss selling the properties.
Motion by Williams, second by Diehm, to waive the reading of Ordinance 1587, there being
ample copies available to the public.
Nawrocki stated that he feels it would make more sense to have the properties in the City's
name.
Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.

PUBLIC HEARINGS — none
ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
A. Other Ordinances and Resolutions
1. 1st Reading of Ordinance 1588. being a Zoning Amendment as it Relates to Driveways.
Jeff Sargent, City Planner, stated these ordinance amendments are part of the Planning
Department's goal to make these zoning items easier for the public. The driveway ordinance
is to change the setback of driveways to one foot from the lot line for a 60 foot wide lot for
one to four person residents. In the future staff would like to see some control of future joint
driveways and their maintenance. This ordinance would combine driveway items in the City
Code. It does not "go after" existing driveways, but will relate to future driveways. He stated
that we are looking at future discussions to require a permit for a driveway and listed items
that would be reviewed in a permit.
Diehm stated she was in favor of the set back reduction. There has been a shift in our ability
to grant variances due to new case law, so this will reduce requests we would no longer be
able to allow. A conditional use permit for shared driveways would be good. Even if the
original owners have an agreement, there can be issues when one of the properties changes
owners. Diehm requested staff to come back with a permit, not a fee and to be sure owners
have their driveway in the appropriate place.
Nawrocki stated he does not see the need for this ordinance and questioned if this means that
homes without a garage cannot have a driveway. Sargent stated that a garage is required for
any new construction. Any current situation would be allowed to remain. Nawrocki stated
this was only approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on a two to one vote. Jim
Hoeft, City Attorney, stated that the vote was legitimate.
Peterson stated that one Commission member wanted to table this until spring to view the
situation; the others were comfortable with the recommendation. This is relaxing the City
Code to allow a one foot rather than three foot driveway setback. Peterson stated that the
Building Official should indicate if a driveway will drain properly and is placed correctly.
But, in a clay environment the cement moves and cracks and he does not want anyone to
indicate that the city is responsible for cracks or damage. Sargent stated that could be
discussed in the permit process. Of 13 cities surveyed, eight require permits and five of these
charge fees. We only want to recover the cost of our time.
Schmitt agreed with the setback change, as smaller properties are hampered with the current
requirements. Schmitt requested to table the first reading of the ordinance for further review.
This covers the shoreline district and Ordinance 1550 requires a permit for that area, which
would be a repetition. She stated that this is not a rush right now and she would like to
receive more information.
Diehm questioned Schmitt's concern on reconstruction of existing driveways. Schmitt stated
the information referred to building permits for construction or reconstruction of driveways.
Diehm stated that State Statute indicates that if it is non - confirming the owner has the right to
rebuild it to the same non - conforming state and so they are protected by State Statute.

Schmitt indicated she was referring to the permits. Diehm stated that is not part of this
ordinance. Each ordinance requires two readings and a waiting period before it passes. Fehst
questioned the difference in a shoreline district. Sargent stated there are different
requirements in that area regarding coverage of impervious surfaces. Nawrocki questioned
what neighborhoods this would affect and referred to lot size, unattached garages and alleys.
Diehm reiterated that this ordinance is for the setback requirement of lots less than 60 feet.
This is a benefit to property owners, allowing them flexibility. Peterson agreed this is a
relaxation of the requirements. Other items will need to be discussed at a work session. Any
questions may be directed to staff.
Motion by Schmitt, second by Nawrocki, to table Ordinance No. 1588. Upon vote: Schmitt,
aye; Williams, nay; Diehm, nay; Nawrocki, aye; Peterson, nay. 2 ayes — 3 nays. Motion
failed.
Motion by Diehm, second by Williams, to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1588, there
being ample copies available to the public. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.
Motion by Diehm, second by Williams, 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.
Upon vote: Schmitt, nay; Williams, aye; Diehm, aye; Nawrocki, nay; Peterson, aye. 3 ayes —
2 nays. Motion carried.
2. 1st Reading of Ordinance 1589, being a Zoning Amendment as it Relates to Fences.
Sargent stated this is essentially a re- codification as fences are addressed in Chapter 6 and
Chapter 9 of the City Code. It would bring the items together in the Zoning code, Chapter
9.106. The only change would be a conditional use permit requirement for fences over six feet
tall with a maximum height of seven feet.
Nawrocki stated the old and new ordinance allow for barbed wire fences in industrial areas
and questioned why we would allow this in an urban area. Sargent stated this would not
address policy, but could be added to the second reading of the ordinance. Hoeft stated that
this allows the typical Century fence with rows of barbed wire on the top. Diehm suggested
that no barbed wire be allowed below a certain level. Sargent stated a barbed wire fence
would require a conditional use permit. Peterson asked the City Planner to look at this and
clarify it. Hoeft stated the answer is that this can only be allowed through a conditional use
permit. Diehm stated that this ordinance is only combining language. If requested, the
Planning and Zoning Commission can review barbed wire fences and hold public hearings.
Motion by Diehm, second by Williams, to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1589, there
being ample copies available to the public. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.
Motion by Diehm, second by Williams, to set the second reading of Ordinance No. 1589, for
Monday, January 24, 2011, at approximately 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers.
Schmitt referred to the wording that "no previous material may be used in a new fence ".
Sargent stated that is so people do not put in a multi -type fence, as we want a uniform look.
Diehm stated that years ago the Commission went through the code section by section. The
preference is to do this by bringing questions to the Planning and Zoning Commission for
review.

Appoint Council President and approve Council /Staff Liaison Assignments
Motion by Williams, second by Schmitt, to appoint Council member Diehm as the 2011 Council
President. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.
Peterson referred to the council liaison appointments. Nawrocki indicated that the Suburban Rate
Authority was removed and that the National League of Cities representative should also be
removed. Fehst stated that item would be removed. Peterson stated that this list can be changed
during the year. Diehm stated her appreciation for Peterson and Nawrocki stepping in for her
when she is unable to attend a meeting.

Liaison assignments, with removal of the National League of Cities. Upon vote: All ayes.
Motion carried.
Nawrocki stated that there should be new and old business sections in the agenda. Nawrocki
indicated that he attended the Valley View DARE graduation.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
Report of the City Manager — none
Nawrocki indicated again that the City Council should be allowed to review the draft newsletter
before publication. He stated that he wants more information in the newsletter regarding the budget
and items such as the utility fund. He stated that he was bringing financial questions to the Finance
Director but may now bring them to the Council meetings for a matter of record, as the Finance
Director chooses to answer only the questions he wants to answer. Financial affairs of the city are
the responsibility of the Council. He requested that the City Manager set up a system for him to get
his questions answered. Fehst stated that sometimes Council member Nawrocki asks for information
that we have already given him several times. Fehst suggested that the City Clerk keep copies of all
such correspondence. That relationship should continue. Peterson stated that Council members are
supposed to work through the City Manager and we will adhere to that if we have to. We relax that
requirement with our good relationships with department heads. There was a breakdown of
communication because a Council member's behavior. Nawrocki indicated that like residents that
come to him and vent their feelings, he should be able to also. He stated that his efforts are to get
information and he will not relent to get information. Peterson stated that if a Council member is in
error, they need to apologize and move one.
Report of the City Attorney — nothing to report.
CITIZENS FORUM
Dwayne Morrell, 4212 Reservoir Boulevard, suggested the city review obtaining an assistant for the
City Clerk. He referred to a survey taken at the Public Service Building and suggested this type of
thing would reach more residents by placing it in the city newsletter. Morrell stated that in his review
of the city budget it looks like the city is top heavy. In reference to the liquor store budget, he
suggested a reduction in the number of managers or the elimination of municipal liquor stores.
Nawrocki gave the history of municipal liquor operations and the public's overwhelming vote to stay

in the business. He referred to the debt to build the new stores. There is only one overall manager, but
it may not hurt to review this. He referred to liquor legislation to sell wine and beer in grocery stores.
Nawrocki indicated that coffee donations for Council meetings should be taken again.
Peterson spoke of the water line break under City Hall this week. The break was in a line built in 1942
and the break was under the building built in 1972. A new line was put in about 30 feet from the old
line. On January 24 the new electronic equipment will be ready in the Council Chambers, including
flat screen TV's and state of the art technology.
Mayor Peterson stated: Remember our service men and women who protect our freedoms and the
tragedy in Arizona and send our prayers to the victims. Don't take yourself too seriously. Life can be
fleeting. Do a random act of kindness.

CITY COUNCIL LETTER
Meeting of: January 24, 2011
AGENDA SECTION: ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER
NO: Community Development APPROVAL
ITEM: Resolution #201 1 -03- Contract For Sewer BY: BY: Scott Clark
Availability Charge Time Payment DATE: January 20, 2011
Agreement —4040 Central Ave.
Background Information: The owner of Jimmy's Pool Hall, 4040 Central Ave., has developed a new
partnership and business model for the subject site. In 2010 it was determined that the success of this business
was based on developing league play, and in order to accomplish this, a wine /beer license was necessary and
was issued by the Council in December 2010. This license triggered the need for a restaurant with a seating
capacity of 75 seats. This became problematic as this in turn, triggered the need, per the Building Code, that the
building be sprinkled. In the end the building improvements, fixtures, etc. totaled almost $100,000, which has
been completed. However, this cost did not include the payment for sewer availability charges (SAC), which
totaled $26, 760. Part of the reason for this large amount is that both the new restaurant was calculated, and the
entire gaming area, as this latter building space had never paid SAC fees. The issue at hand is that the renovation
budget never factored in this large of a charge and the owner is seeking some type of remedy from the City. It is
critical to note that remedy does not mean forgiveness of the obligation.
City staff is recommending that the city front the payment, to the Metropolitan Council by the use of City -wide
SAC credits, not a cash payment. An explanation of these credits (which is complicated) and policies for their
use once capitalized, was discussed at the March 8. 2010 Council meeting with a responding resolution (both
attached). Staff is making this recommendation, in part, due to the fact that the owner has committed and spent
the dollars for the building renovation. The proposed remedy is for the owner to pay the obligation within a two -
year time period as detailed in the attached Agreement. Effectively there are four parts to this 1) 10% down of
the original principal owed 2) A $1,000 per month payment (principal paid over a two -year time period) and 3)
A final payment that covers a deferred 2% interest charge. The fourth part is how the payments are secured. The
SAC payment is being handled as a "local improvement" under the MSA 429 process, and as such, if non-
payment occurs per the Agreement, the Council can specially assess the project.
The City Attorney has reviewed the Agreement and remedies.
Recommendation: Staff recommends the subject Agreement as written
Recommended Motion: Move to waive the reading of Resolution #201 1 -03 there being ample copies for the
public.
Move to adopt Resolution #2011-03- Authorizing the City to Enter Into A Contract For Sewer

CITY COUNCIL LETTER
MEETING OF: MARCH 8, 2010
AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT ORIGINATING DEPT: CITY MANAGER
NO: FINANCE APPROVAL
ITEM: RESOLUTION 2010 -12 DESIGNATE BY: JOSEPH KLOIBER BY:
THE USE OF SEWER ACCESS CREDITS
RECEIVED UNDER THE METROPOLITAN DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 2010
COUNCIL'S SEWER ACCESS CHARGE
POLICY
The Metropolitan Council (MCES) provides sanitary sewer disposal for metro area cities. MCES
charges cities a connection or sewer access charge (SAC), based on the level of usage, for each
new property connection to the sanitary sewer system. Cities, in turn, pass this charge through to
the developer. The MCES procedure manual explicitly prescribes most aspects of this activity in
great detail. Some limited aspects of this activity are at the Cities' discretion.
Up to the present, City staff has administered the discretionary aspects of this activity using
informal policy consistent with past practice in Columbia Heights and consistent with cities
generally. However, with the increase in redevelopment within the City in recent years, this area
has become financially more significant than in the past. Therefore at this time, staff
recommends that the City Council establish a formal policy for certain aspects of this activity, in
the form of the attached resolution.
The issues to be covered by the formal policy arise when an existing sewer connection is
demolished. In these cases, MCES grants the City a SAC "credit" for the previous connection.
This non -cash credit can only be applied towards SAC fees. Typically, it is applied towards the
new connection fee at the same site upon redevelopment, and the new developer is not charged a
SAC fee to replace the connection that was previously there.
Prior to 2010, if the level of new sewer use at a redeveloped site was less intensive than, the prior
sewer use, a surplus or "net" SAC credit for reduction in use was granted to the City by MCES.
In other words, the value of the portion of the prior use that the new developer had no way to use,
fell to the City. Under MCES policy, the City is able to convert these net credits to cash, by
applying them to the City's account with MCES when other projects with an increase in use
occur, and at the same time, charging the developers of such other projects SAC fees for their
increased use, since those other projects have no relationship to the first project.
If this sounds overly complicated and unwieldy to you, you are not alone. MCES has just
changed this policy. Effective January 1, 2010, if a property's new sewer use is less intensive
than its prior use, MCES will only grant SAC credits up to the level of the new use. No surplus
or net SAC credits will be issued. Under the new MCES policy, the City is allowed to continue
to use net credits it received prior to 2010, until they are exhausted.
The major sources of SAC credit from redevelopment in the City were the following demolitions
occurring between approximately 2003 and 2008:
• The former Kmart and Arby's
• The former Apache theatre
• The former industrial park area
44
• The former NEI school building
Many of the SAC credits from these sites were applied to the redevelopments at the given sites.
As mentioned above, this has the effect of not charging the developer to replace a pre - existing
connection. The City currently has remaining obligations to provide two developers with such
replacement credits, pending completion of certain phases of those developments. A current
accounting of those obligations and the net SAC credits not obligated is as follows:
SAC Credits Converted to Cash But Obli•ated to Developers
Former K.mart and Arby's Site $27,150
Fortner Industrial Park Site $39,500
SAC Credits Converted to Cash, With No Obligation
Total $119,700
SAC Credits Not Yet Converted to Cash, With No Obligation
69 credits, current value $2,100 each $144,900
MCES' written policy does not restrict the City's use of the unobligated cash generated by SAC
credits to any specific purpose. However, from a planning perspective, it is generally advisable to
keep the expenditure of fiords reasonably connected to the activity that generated them. City staff
judges that it would be prudent to designate the use of these funds for improvements to the City's
sewer system that are required for redevelopment. Generally, this will be for increases in system
capacity to handle additional use from redevelopment. City staff also recommends that, in the
event that new or increased sewer connections are required at City facilities, the related SAC fees
be paid using non -cash SAC credits, to the extent available at that time.
The policy language recommended by staff to address the above issues is contained in the
attached resolution. For information on other aspects of the MCES SAC activity, you may
contact the Community Development Department. Note that the City also has adopted a City
SAC fee in recent years. This is separate from and in addition to the MCES SAC fee.
Information on the City SAC fee can be obtained from the Public Works Department.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following motions:
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2010 -12 there
being ample copies available to the public.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 2010 -12 being a
resolution to designate the use of sewer access credits received under the Metropolitan
Council's sewer access charge policy.

RESOLUTION NO. 2010 -12
DESIGNATE THE USE OF SEWER ACCESS CREDITS RECEIVED UNDER THE METROPOLITAN
COUNCIL'S SEWER ACCESS CHARGE POLICY
WHEREAS, for purposes of the sewer access charge (SAC) imposed by the Metropolitan Council, the City of
Columbia Heights acts as a fiscal agent between the Metropolitan Council's Environmental Services division
(MCES) and redevelopment projects within the City; and
WHEREAS, under the SAC policies of MCES, credit for a sanitary sewer connection demolished within the
City can, in certain cases, be utilized by the developer of a subsequent project at the same site; and
WHEREAS, under the SAC policies of MCES, credit for a sanitary sewer connection demolished within the
City cannot, in certain cases, be utilized by a developer of a subsequent project at the same site, and instead the
economic benefit of that credit falls to the City; and
WHEREAS, due to in increase in redevelopment within the City in recent years, the total economic benefits of
such SAC credits within the City have grown in significance compared to prior periods; and
WI-IEREAS, in view of these facts, the City Council finds it desirable to establish a formal policy for the aspects
of these SAC credits that are under the control of the City,
BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights, that the City of Columbia
Heights designates such SAC credits and any resulting revenues for the following uses:
1. As a general practice, SAC credits generated at a given site will be made available for redevelopment
project(s) at the same site, to the extent they can be utilized by the redevelopment. However, this is not
a binding commitment on the part of the City to any future redevelopment or developer. Any such SAC
credit is subject to all of same negotiations and approvals as any other element of a development
agreement. In no case will the SAC credits be made available to a developer for a period of time beyond
which they expire under MCES policies.
2. SAC credits that have been converted to cash, with no associated obligation, are designated for
improvements to the City's sewer system as required for redevelopment.
3. In the event that a new or increased sanitary sewer use is required for a City facility, to the extent that
unobligated non -cash SAC credits are available, they should be applied to the SAC imposed by MCES
on that City use.
