B. Adopt Resolution 2012-112 being Resolution for the Approval of a third accessory structure located at 3918 Ulysses St NE. Jeff Sargent, City Planner, stated the variance is for a third accessory structure. The owner has constructed a kennel to house his cats and was not aware they would need a permit. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval on a 4-0 vote. Sargent showed a site plan of the property. This structure is hard to view from other properties. Motion by Williams, second by Schmitt, to waive the reading of Resolution 2012-112, there being ample copies available to the public. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. Motion by Williams, second by Schmitt, to adopt Resolution No. 2012-112, approving the third accessory structure for the property located at 3918 Ulysses St NE, subject to the conditions outlined in Resolution No. 2012-112. Diehm asked if there was any feedback received from the neighbors. Sargent stated there were a few calls. The only complaint was that the cats were wandering are all over the neighborhood. This will solve that issue. Diehm questioned the number of animals per household. Sargent stated we will need to see that it conforms to our ordinance and the number limitation. This is a duplex, so four cats would be allowed. The kennel cannot be altered to become a storage building. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION A. Other Ordinances and Resolutions 1st Reading of Ordinance 1609, being a Zoning Amendment as it Relates to Temporary Signs. Sargent stated that the Planning Task Force began meeting in May. It consisted of one resident, three business owners, and Council member Schmitt. This request is a text amendment to our sign code allowing a grand opening sign to help businesses promote themselves in the community. Sargent stated this would not count toward the number of temporary signs allowed in a year.Nawrocki questioned the sign size limit. Sargent stated the limit is 50 square feet and the sign would be required to be flat against the building. Nawrocki requested to see agendas or minutes from this committee and be on the mailing list. Sargent stated the committee is no longer meeting. A list can be given to Council members. Motion by Diehm, second by Williams, to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1609,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. 1609, for Monday, September 24, 2012, at approximately 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. B. Adopt Resolution 2012-111,being a resolution adopting a 2013 proposed budget, setting the proposed City levy, approving the HRA levy, and establishing a budget hearing date for property taxes payable in 2013. Motion by Diehm, second by Williams, to waive the reading of Resolution 2012-111, there being ample copies available for the public. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. Motion by Diehm, second by Williams, to adopt Resolution 2012-111,being a resolution 8 City Council Minutes Monday,September 10,2012 Page 4 of 10 adopting a 2013 proposed budget, setting the General, Library, and EDA proposed levy, establishing a budget hearing date for property taxes payable in 2013. of December 10, 2012 at approximately 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, and approving the HRA levy. Fehst stated in keeping with the City's five year financial plan, the budget was presented in August. He indicated the plan is to offset the loss of Local Government Aid(LGA). The Legislature has discontinued Homestead Credit, from which we received$600,000. Fehst described Fiscal Disparities and stated it has been increasing more than anticipated. The effect was a decrease in property taxes to most residents,rather than the anticipated increase. The net result was a .25%percent increase,mostly from business and industry. When the Legislature deleted the Homestead Credit, they allowed a$30,000 credit on the value of the home to reduce the property value whereby the property tax was determined. Fehst stated that we still need to eliminate our need of LGA and need to continue on our five year plan. Fehst stated in 2003, when we lost our aid, we did not replace employees that left. The City Council did add back a police officer position. Employees were asked to take a two week, unpaid furlough to keep as many jobs as we could. The next year there was no pay increase. Last year there was a one percent increase in expenditures and this year the request for a two percent increase in expenditures. There will be an executive session on Monday, September 24 to discuss labor negotiations. This will be the first property tax increase in three years. Fehst stated this is an initial budget, to be followed by meetings with department heads to review the budget. The budget needs to be complete by the December meeting. Fehst stated that after the adoption of this levy the amount cannot be raised. Fehst complimented Finance Director Kloiber on the job he did on the budget. Nawrocki stated his disappointment that we have not spent more time on the budget. We have had one meeting covering general budget items. He questioned the resolution showing a $900,000 increase. Kloiber stated that the total levy increase would be $400,000. Nawrocki questioned what would increase. Kloiber indicated many items including capital outlay and he described depreciation. There is a two percent supported tax increase across all funds. Nawrocki asked if this includes the county levy. Kloiber stated this only includes the City's HRA levy, not the Anoka County HRA levy. Our Community Development department puts together program proposals that they submit to Anoka County for reimbursement. Fehst indicated that the HRA levy decreases annually. Kloiber stated that Council passes a resolution every five years to approve the County HRA levy. Nawrocki stated he would not vote for this resolution, as it continues to increase the budget. We need to look at budget details and make reductions in proposed expenditures. Nawrocki indicated that if this levy request is not approved tonight, the County will levy the same amount as last year. Fehst indicated responses to work session questions regarding a possible new library building or library building renovation. In 2002 there was $200,000 set aside from fund balances for expansion or a new building. With funds added by the Library Foundation, there is now $255,000. Fehst stated that Council member Schmitt asked what the tax would be if additional. funds were set aside in this budget. Fehst stated that an additional $100,000 would add $7.18 per year or$.60 per month on a$100,000 home. Fehst stated that with fiscal disparities, there would be a one year lag. A $200,000 home would pay about$15.00 a year. Williams stated the 2013 budget proposal follows the two year consecutive decrease of city tax for most residents. The HRA levy is decreasing for the fourth consecutive year. Schmitt indicated that the County levy will decrease and the School Board has indicated their levy will not increase. Schmitt stated that she is not really for raising taxes,but there is a great committee looking at a new library and there is interest to do this. It is silly that we have not been putting 9 City Council Minutes Monday, September 10,2012 Page 5 of 10 money aside since then, and combining this with grants or donations. If we had been saving money, we could have the cash to pay for a new library now. She indicated the desire to use some funds from the sale of Parkview Villa, but those funds may be limited to housing. We can, however, continue to add to the fund. Catherine Vesley thanked the Council for seriously working on this. The goal of the Foundation is to build a pool to attract grant funds. Williams stated that work session discussion included adding $500,000 to the fund. He questioned the amount needed to receive grants. We should have been adding funds every year. Kloiber stated a rough guide would be a fifty-fifty match. Vesley referred to the National Endowments. Williams stated that at a National Night Out survey he took, 22 residents were for and two residents were against a new library. Fehst stated that the gymnasium was built with money from fund balances and without increasing property taxes. He suggested we could again draw down the fund balances, where the current $200,000 came from. Fehst stated that we do not know the amount that would be needed. He felt that if the tax increase was under $50 a year, residents would be supportive. Schmitt asked Kloiber if there would be any surplus at the end of this year. Kloiber stated he does expect a surplus, as there would be a legal violation if we went over our budget. We could estimate the amount in December. Diehm stated that she serves as liaison to the Library Board and is a strong supporter of a new library. We have built a gym and a public safety building. We have chosen the projects we want to invest in. Investigation continues on the use of funds from the sale of Parkview Villa. If we have to use the funds for housing, it may lighten other areas of the budget. Diehm stated that she was not in favor of adding funds to the levy tonight, but is pleased to consider this as an important part of our future. Nawrocki stated that the $200,000 was intended to serve as a base for the Library Foundation to raise money to qualify for grant submissions. There is a fundraising dinner this Wednesday night. Nawrocki stated that the committee was set up to look at a new library and a city hall. He is not in favor of a new city hall. He referred to the interest payments required for the Public Safety building. The two new liquor stores add to our interest payments, with the hope to pay the debt service with profits. Before action is taken on a new library, we would need to know what this would add to the budget. Nawrocki stated that on National Night Out, two or three people expressed to him that we do not need a new library. The numbers from the committee should go out to all residents and should be based on a referendum vote. The library did a survey with a total of about 300 responses. Peterson stated we have a good group of people studying our library needs. They meet regularly and are doing a great job. Peterson referred to when the capital improvement fund was started and to building the gym without borrowing money. He stated his belief that our community should move ahead, but we are very careful how we spend our money. Peterson felt there would not be library buildings funds added tonight, but we may look at extra funds to be set aside for this. Schmitt agreed, as that would not increase the levy. Kloiber stated that any action is a starting point for the State's Truth and Taxation requirements. There are four additional meetings proposed after tonight to discuss the budget. Kloiber referred the question during last year's auditor reported on the CAFR regarding wage increases and the need to look at a larger picture than just one year. The 3.36% increase for 2013 averages out to 10 City Council Minutes Monday,September 10,2012 Page 6 of 10 0% over that last three years. Nawrocki requested that the chart on debt service accounts be copied for Council members. Upon vote: Schmitt, aye; Williams, aye; Diehm, aye;Nawrocki, nay; Peterson, aye. 4 ayes— 1 nay. Motion carried. C. Bid Considerations—none D. New Business and Reports Motion by Williams, second Diehm,to set a labor negotiations executive session for September 24, immediately following the City Council meeting; and include budget work session meetings on October 1 and 29 at 7:00 p.m. There are special assessment hearings scheduled for October 1 beginning at 6:00 p.m. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Report of the City Manager Fehst stated that he,the Mayor and the Police Captain will attend the School Board meeting tomorrow evening to share our League of Minnesota Cities award and our International Police award with them. Fehst indicated that Highway 65 improvements will begin on September 10th, and will include new fiber optic cable and signal improvements. Fehst mentioned that our Standard and Poors rating was increased by two levels proving good stewardship on behalf of the Council. Report of the City Attorney—nothing to report CITIZENS FORUM Peterson stated he flew on a C130 to visit the airbase in South Carolina. Minneapolis has eight flying Viking C130's. In South Carolina they have 56 C17's, which are huge. He described the tour and the work done at this base. It is very impressive seeing our service men and women in action. Don't forget our service men and women. Thank them for their service. Nawrocki requested a copy of the fire fighters annual report. Peterson stated"Don't take ourselves too seriously and do a random act of kindness". "Don't forget tomorrow is September 11".

The Committee was in charge of overseeing any changes that might be made, with suggestions and recommendations to the City Staff, who would then forward the recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council. The Committee was comprised of one resident, three business owners, one City Council member and one Planning Commission member. They met for six sessions beginning in May, 2012, and have come up with some suggestions for Zoning Amendments. At this time, City Staff is representing the Committee by proposing a Zoning Amendment as it relates to temporary signage. In order to promote new businesses that have moved into Columbia Heights, the Committee proposes the City to allow each new business to utilize one "Grand Opening" sign per business for a period of 60 days. This banner would not require a permit and would not count towards the total allotment of temporary banners (four) that a business may use in a calendar year. The purpose of this amendment is to allow new businesses the opportunity to advertise their new arrival in an attempt to establish themselves in the community. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN One of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan is to preserve and enhance the existing viable commercial areas within the community, and to promote reinvestment in properties by the commercial and industrial sectors. Allowing a "Grand Opening" sign would aide in the 73 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission September 5, 2012 City of Columbia Heights, Temporary Signs Case # 2012-0903 enhancement of the commercial areas throughout the city. 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 enhance the existing viable commercial areas within the community, and to promote reinvestment in properties by the commercial and industrial sectors. Allowing a "Grand Opening" sign would aide in the enhancement of the commercial areas throughout the city. 2. The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a single property owner. The proposed amendment would apply to all commercial districts throughout 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. The amendment would not change the zoning classification of a particular property. 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. The amendment would not change the zoning classification of a particular property. RECOMMENDATION Motion: That the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the proposed zoning amendment. Attachments • Draft zoning ordinance Page 2 74
