OLD BUSINESS
A. Master Plan amendment to the LaBelle Park Master Plan
Hansen indicated that staff is present from both Community Development and the Police
Departments. He gave a brief history of the lots of land adjacent to the playground at Circle
Terrace Park. One interest of the City was to sell and redevelop the lots. With limited to no
inquiries on the land an idea originated from the Police Department installing a substation in the
area to give public contact in the Circle Terrace area. Staff members have looked into other
associated usage that a small building in that area could serve. Over the past 12 to 18 months it
13
Park & Recreation Commission
April 22, 2015
Page 2
was demonstrated to have a strong interest in a public multi use building. Anoka County is one of
the entities that have shown interest in using the space.
To accommodate this interest at the park any changes would need to be brought in to the park
master plan because this would serve as a public building. A small amount of planning work was
done by the consultant who did the original master plan for how a building would fit in to the
park setting. The 1,200 square feet building would serve a public purpose; available to the police,
the neighborhood as a meeting spot, and other entities wanting to use the space. The existing
master park plan would need to be expanded the park which at some point in the future may
include a substation or multipurpose building as part of LaBelle Park.
Stroik asked about the history of the three plots that were purchased by the City. Hogeboom
introduced himself to the group. He reported that two lots were twin homes and incorporated in to
the scattered site housing programs. This city program acquires blighted homes, tears them down
and resells them for the purpose of redeveloping single family homes. Feedback from realtors is
that potential buyers show interest in the property when viewing online but then lose interest
when the drive through the neighborhood. Both lots are currently vacant. Payne asked why the
building would be 1,200 square feet instead of 900. Hogeboom replied to offer more space for a
community event that would be useful for such groups as the school district or other county
groups. Hoium asked why the county would be interested in the space. Pletcher replied staff has
spoken to the Anoka County Community Action and the school district for tutoring and outreach
to that area, and the police department would like to use it for public education. He indicated this
street alone has a 60% Somali population. The school district would like to reach out to that
population of students to help get them ahead of the learning curve and bring English to them to
be more prepared for school. Other community, county applied, and government groups have
reached out with interest in using this type of community building. Hogeboom added that in order
to make this type of building work one needs to include space for restrooms and a small office.
Pletcher reminded the Commission that two east African officers have been hired on the
department and the population has a desire to interact with them so staff would like to have an
office space to create that open dialogue and create opportunities for proactivity. Stroik asked if
the other residents could reserve this building like the other park facilities. Pletcher replied yes.
Hoium asked if it would be staffed. Hansen stated no, but it would be checked depending on use
for restrooms services. Public Works staff would have no intention of manning the building. The
Police Department would probably be the primary users of the facility as far as city departments
are concerned. Seasonal staff would maintain the facility and the two restrooms. Hoium indicated
restrooms would need cleaning, garbage removed, and facility locked up that requires attention.
Hansen replied that one thought is having a custodial staff conduct a weekly clean at the building.
It would also be dependent upon how much usage the facility gets throughout the year. During
the summer months a seasonal public works employee would do the same work as with a picnic
shelter. Saefke indicated this would not be an open building to the public at all times. There could
be access to speak to a police officer but they would also lock their space when not at the office.
If the space was rented out a key would be obtained much like the other park buildings. Clerkin
asked if there would be rentals fees associated to the building for usage. Saefke replied yes.
Hansen explained that the master plan looks at a reuse of the park property. To construct a
building would be a separate process and a building permit would need to be obtained. Hoium
stated the two properties would be owned by the city and become part of the park. Hogeboom
added that the two lots to the north of the playground are owned under the Economic
Development Authority so this motion would enable the ownership to be transferred to the City to
be used for public park property. Evans clarified that this motion will not impact what has already
14
Park & Recreation Commission
April 22, 2015
Page 3
been approved to the park up to this point. Hansen replied no and it actually improves the park
with a slight expansion.
Austin and Pletcher discussed the importance of creating a relationship with the neighborhood
around circle terrace and how that positively impacts the reduction of crime in the area.
Motion by Stroik, second by Greenhalgh, to amend the LaBelle Park Master Plan to include the
additional two plots of land on Circle Terrace to the master plan and enable the transfer of
ownership from the Economic Development Authority to the City of Columbia Heights. Upon
vote: All ayes. Motion Carried.
B. Update on LaBelle Park
Hansen indicated a variety of fill has been uncovered while digging for the boulder retaining wall
at LaBelle Park but none has warranted notification to the PCA. The removals are mostly
complete. The shoreline restoration work continues. A boulder style retaining wall will be
constructed. Staff will be presenting to the City Council a request to purchase the shelter directly
to save funding on tax charges. Once the shelter is ordered it will take approximately six weeks
for delivery. A public informational meeting was held for the neighborhood with approximately
20 residents in attendance, to discuss the reconstruction of 41 st Avenue and the park project itself.
Hansen indicated the shelter will be 20x20 feet with four to six tables under the shelter, and two
to three tables under the steel arbors for a seating total of 30 to 40 people. The lower overlook
area was not included in the original bid due to high estimates at that time. Once the final bid was
accepted the bids came back with lower than expected numbers. The additional work for the
overlook area will need to be approved by the City Council. It is anticipated that the additional
work will be able to be completed within the original budget. Hansen reported the lower overlook
will have a concrete circle with some color pavers, the center will be heavily landscaped with a
woodchip walking area, and concrete cast seating instead of benches.
Saefke asked how parking would change. Hansen replied it is not changing. There are
approximately 20 stalls in the north lot. The parking in the lot off of 41" Ave. has 16 to 18 stalls
plus whatever parking is available around the cul de sac. Saefke indicated a concern with parking
when the shelter begins to be rented. Stroik replied the lots for the strip mall would be open.
Windschitl asked if there is a plan for a port a potty near the shelter. Hansen replied at the current
time the only one is near the playground.
C. Update on the Huset Park Splash Pad
Hansen reported at the previous commission meeting authorization was granted for city staff to
do the grading work at the splash pad area. City staff will bring in a 4 inch water service to serve
the splash pad. The water unfortunately is located on the north side of Mill Street very close to
the curb line. Staff will install the drain and storm sewer. The design work is near completion.
Staff will be at the May city council meeting to receive authorization to seek bids. Hansen
indicated another cost saving measure is to directly purchase the features and all of the equipment
in the splash pad. This will save 7% or around $8,000 on taxes. The features will be purchased
through Vortex. City staff will be purchasing and installing a building to house the water controls
and other needed equipment. Windschitl asked if a bathroom would be added to the area. Hansen
replied yes staff has researched a prefab building with a changing room and bathroom that would
possibly be added next year. Stroik asked when the project would be concluded. Hansen replied
the utilities should be completed in June, the authorization and bidding process with bids back in
June, six to eight weeks of construction, and the potential of completion in the end of August or
September.

NEW BUSINESS
A. 2015 jamboree Fireworks
Windschitl indicated he has recently received the proposal for the Jamboree fireworks on June 27
He invited the members to view the proposal if they desired. Last year a portion of the show was
missed and did not get shot during the show. Windschitl asked if the company would include that
missed section in the 2015 show. The proposal is promising a 15 to 18 minute show with 656
devices in the display plus what was missed last year. Staff recommends accepting the proposal
from Pyrotechnic Display, Inc. Evans asked the cost of the show. Windschitl replied $6,000.
Motion by Greenhalgh, second by Clerkin, to accept the proposal from Pyrotechnic Display, Inc.
for the Jamboree Fireworks on June 27, 2015 with a rain backup of June 28, 2015. Upon vote:
All ayes. Motion Carried.
REPORTS
A. Recreation Director
Windschitl reported working on the Beautification Committee along with Saefke. He stated that
some members are leaving the group and are looking for new volunteers. One volunteer, Sue
Murzyn, is taking a step back this year and will help to plant but will be handing over the
watering duties at various sites. She has been instrumental in helping the process over the year.
There is a new volunteer that has come forward who will be taking on the areas for watering.
Windschitl stated the Reservoir community garden plots are up and running with about five plots
available. Youth baseball and softball began this past week. The Men's softball league has begun.
Part time staff positions are open for gym facility supervisors at the Hylander Center.
B. Public Works Director /City En ig'neer
Hansen stated at this same time in 2014 dealing with snow and now staff is preparing for grass
cutting. The parks department is down one full time staff person, and down to one seasonal staff.
Seasonal staff is required to be 18 years old and will be starting when school is done. Most
seasonals do return each year. There will be 12 seasonal positions this year.
Hansen foresees a much lighter year for Park projects in 2016 due to lack of available funding. A
lot of work has been completed in the park system over the last several years. The one possible
project would be a playground improvement. The small playground at LaBelle Park was around
$85,000. Payne mentioned getting back to the Huset Park Master Plan improvements. Hansen
replied that is a valid point and members should consider how a future park project would be
funded. Windschitl asked if the slide could be replaced at Ostrander Park as the rest of the
equipment looks to be in good condition but the slide has faded. Hansen replied to send an email
to him for possible replacement. Greenhalgh indicated the slide at Keyes Park needs to be
replaced. Stroik mentioned a small shelter would be nice at Ostrander Park because there are a
number of picnics held near the playground area.
C. Commission Members
Hoium indicated the flag pole outside in the front of Murzyn Hall looks in rough condition at the
base. Windschitl agreed and replied he plans to ask the VFW to help as he thinks that they
initially donated to that project. He indicated it does need a new flag pole as well which is
approximately $5,000.
Hansen reported the local High School Keys Club along with the Kiwanis group will be
conducting a volunteer clean up along Central Avenue from 9 to 1 on Saturday for Earth Day.

They will be having a tent set up along the route to promote recycling. The cleanup will occur
from 37d' Avenue to 53rd Avenue. Hoium indicated the CH Lions Club will be picking up along
University Avenue on Saturday during the same time. Hansen asked who will pick up the trash.
Hoium replied the State Patrol. They also provide the bags and the safety vests. Hansen indicated
how helpful it is to have volunteer groups especially along the highways that are very busy.
Saefke indicated First Lutheran Church will be cleaning at Sullivan Lake Park. Hansen stated that
each park does have a group associated with the Adopt a Park Program. Each group was asked if
they would like to have a recognition sign for the park and only four groups wanted to have a
sign. Hansen reported that out of 13 parks assigned about 8 or 9 regularly clean.
Peterson spoke to the beauty of Hart Lake and that he would like to have the underbrush cleaned
out to have a view of the lake along Hart Boulevard and from 37`x' Avenue. Stroik indicated
people have been known to drink along the edge of the lake at night. Payne asked if the DNR
would be opposed to cleaning the area. Hansen replied that if the work is done above the water
line the DNR does not have a problem. Recently the City was informed of illegal dumping into
Hart Lake. What is being dumped is unknown but it is killing the grass. Someone is dumping at
the top edge of the slope along Hart Boulevard. It smells bad and you can see where the grass is
dead from it. Staff will be testing the area. Stroik asked if a camera could be setup in the area.
Hansen replied that is being discussed with the police department. Hoium asked if the State owns
the lakes technically. Hansen replied no, but the State does have authority by statutory rule over
the waters of the state. Stroik indicated that any cleanup along Hart Lake should be done as staff
time is allowed during the season.
Motion by Hoium, second by Clerkin, to instruct staff to look at cleaning up the brush along Hart
Lake. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion Carried.
Peterson asked how the experience and amount of use was at the ice rinks this year. Stroik replied
that there was a lot of use at Ostrander Park.
Peterson invited the Commission to attend the annual Mayor's Prayer Breakfast on May 6.
Breakfast begins service at 6:45 a.m. Tickets are on sale at City Hall.
Payne adjourned the meeting at 6:40 p.m.

Letters and Requests
A. Request for a reduced rental rate of Murzyn Hall for a fundraiser benefit on Sunday June 7, 2015
from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Stroik asked if the beneficiary is a resident. Windschitl yes both the planner and beneficiary live in
Columbia Heights. He spoke to the planner about the details and the goal is to raise money for funeral
costs. Based on previous reduced rentals the charge would be the $50 entry fee and $20 per hour of use
plus tax. Stroik indicated a 13 card tournament as listed in the flyer might violate gambling regulations.
Members asked what a 13 card tournament is. Stroik remembers it being an old gambling game.
Windschitl replied he will speak to the contact person about it. Payne replied that having a 50/50 raffle
might fall under gambling requirements or restrictions as well. Windschitl replied that often times
people putting benefits together are trying to pull things together so quickly that they don't know all of
these types of rules. He will speak to the coordinator and make sure that they are meeting any
requirements for what they are trying to accomplish.
Motion by Stroik, second by Evans, to deny the request based on what is proposed with the type of
fundraising listed. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion Carried.
Payne recommended approval for the request if there is a silent auction and no gambling.
Motion amendment by McDonald, to turn down the request as written. Windschitl will inform the
group that they are not allowed to host the event with gambling. If they change the event details with
legal fundraising options then approve the request for a $50 entry fee and $20 per hour of use plus tax.
Upon vote: All ayes. Motion Carried.
Old Business
A. Consideration for Change Order No. 1 for LaBelle Park for additional site work including landscaping.
Hansen indicated the original Master Plan for LaBelle Park with many alternates because bidding prices
at the time were very high. When the bids came in for the work the numbers were low enough to accept
all of the alternates in the plan. The plan did not include however the lower overlook area of the original
18
City of Columbia Heights May 27, 2015
Park & Recreation Commission Minutes of the Meeting Page 2
master plan. This area is where the public art was at the edge of the boardwalk and water area. The
master plan indicates seating in the area. Staff has looked into interesting durable seating, limestone
blocks, sidewalk, and intense landscaping for the area. The contractor's price is at $37,500. There is
funding available in the original budget. This would complete the master plan for LaBelle Park. At this
point the contractor would come in and seed the area. Stroik indicated that if the opportunity is
available now it makes sense to complete the work. The residents that she speaks with in the area are
watching the work being done and ask a lot of questions of the contractor. Hansen indicated the ponds
are built, the shelter footings are being poured, all of the concrete around the shelter will be finished,
the last piece of work will be the landscaping, and the contractor will wait for the shelter to be delivered
within five weeks. Stroik replied that many of the plantings listed are hearty plants and good if any
people or animals were to walk through the landscaped area.
Motion by Stroik, second by McDonald, to recommend to the City Council to accept the Change Order
No. 1 to the LaBelle Park Master Plan. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion Carried.
Stroik asked why the pond at LaBelle Park has not been dredged to control algae. Hansen replied that
dredging does not control algae. Algae growth has more to do with water and temperature. There seven
stormwater inlets into LaBelle which can bring in a high amount of phosphorous into the water body. He
indicated that dredging is an activity to improve water flow. Unless it can be verified that the water
flowing through the pond is blocked, the DNR will not allow it to be dredged. Currently there are no
plans to dredge the pond. Stroik indicated residents have mentioned concerns to here regarding the
amount of cattails and why they are not being removed. Hansen replied that as practice cattails are not
removed unless they are blocking water flow to an inlet or outlet for storm water flow. He stated that
there is a floating bog in the center of the water that does move around a little bit. The DNR general rule
is that the amount of cattail coverage from an aerial map has to occupy more than 50% of the total
water body area before considering any removal. A permit is also required for any cattail removal.
New Business
None at this time.
Reports
A. Recreation Director
Windschitl reported that Public Works staff are doing frost repair on the driveway at the west end of
Murzyn Hall. The Beautification Committee has a few volunteers dropping out so if anyone knows of a
person who might be interested in joining the group to let him know. He thanked Saefke for her work in
coordinating the Committee, ordering the flowers, getting the volunteers the plants that they want, and
for having the process run smoothly this year. Stroik asked about the planting at LaBelle Park and if the
sign was going to be moved if it would affect the plants. Windschitl replied that he spoke to the
volunteer for that park regarding her concerns. Hansen replied that LaBelle Park will receive a new sign
next year.
Windschitl indicated the wood floors were sanded and refinished two applications of finish are applied.
While this project was done last week the office relocated to the IS Department due to the fumes in the
building. The summer leagues are going well with only a few rainouts being rescheduled.
B. Public Works Director /City Engineer
Hansen reported seasonals are starting to work. The seasonal crew will be fully staffed the second week
of June. With the current rain staff is getting caught up with the cutting and trimming in the parks and
public right of way. The splash pad water service will be brought in in two weeks. This will close a section
19
City of Columbia Heights May 27, 2015
Park & Recreation Commission Minutes of the Meeting Page 3
of Mill Street. Once the water service is brought in the small building will be constructed for the
mechanical equipment. Bids will be taken at the end of June for the splash pad with completion
anticipated at the end of August. Carder asked if the pile of dirt will remain throughout the summer.
Hansen replied there are two piles that will remain as stock piles. The black top soil will be respreads to
the disturbed areas. The other pile will be knocked down to a mound with slopes of grass for areas of
interest around the splash pad.

The meeting was called to order at 7:00 pm by Chair Marlaine Szurek.
Commission Members present- Buesgens, Hoium, Lee, and Szurek.
Members Absent: Fiorendino
Also present were Elizabeth Holmbeck (Planner), Joseph Hogeboom (Community Development
Director), and Shelley Hanson (Secretary) along with Council Liaison, John Murzyn.
Motion by Hoium, seconded by Buesgens, to approve the minutes from the meeting of May 5, 2015.
All ayes. MOTIONPASSED.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
CASE NUMBER: 2015 -0601
APPLICANT: Jay Shahidi, Decorative Construction
LOCATION: 3912 Central Ave NE
REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit
Hogeboom passed out a memo regarding the Commission's role when considering a Conditional Use
Permit. He reviewed the contents of the memo and what the Zoning Code allows and the process on
how amendments to the code are made. Szurek stated she thinks it is important for members to go
out and review the sites prior to the meetings so they have a better understanding of what the request
entails. Hogeboom clarified that members can view the sites, but they shouldn't speak to the
applicant or neighbors prior to the Public Hearing, which is the correct venue to hold any discussions
regarding a case.
Holmbeck explained that Jay Shahidi, from Decorative Construction, has requested a Conditional
Use Permit (CUP) that would allow a minor automobile repair shop to operate at the property located
at 3912 Central Avenue NE. There is currently an existing house and garage located on the
commercially zoned property. The house is being used for office space and the existing garage will
be demolished to make way for the proposed garage, to accommodate the future minor auto repair
business.
ZONING ORDINANCE
The property at 3912 Central Ave. NE is located in the CB, Central Business Zoning District.
Adjacent properties to the north, south and east are also zoned Central Business. The properties to the
west are zoned R -3, Multiple Family Residential. Minor auto repair requires a Conditional Use
Permit in the City's Central Business Zoning District.
21
Planning & Zoning Minutes
Page 2
June 2, 2015
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Comprehensive Plan guides this area as Commercial. Although the property was at one time
used as a residential home, it has been used as a commercial property and has lost the non-
conforming use status. Allowing the minor auto repair as a conditional use is consistent with the
City's Comprehensive Plan, which aims to expand commercial uses along the Central Avenue
Corridor.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Section 9.104 (H) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines nine conditions that must be met in order for the
City Council to grant a Conditional Use Permit. They are as follows:
(a) The use is one of the conditional uses listed for the zoning district in which the property is
located, or is a substantially similar use as determined by the Zoning Administrator.
Minor Automobile Repair is specifically listed as a Conditional Use in the Central Business
(CB) Zoning District.
(b) The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area for Commercial use. The proposed use is
commercial in nature.
(c) The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties.
The proposed use will not disrupt neighboring properties as this auto repair shop will only
service a few vehicles at a time. Also, the property directly to the north is a minor auto repair
shop.
(d) The use will not substantially diminish the use of property in the immediate vicinity.
The use of property in the immediate vicinity will not be diminished by adding the proposed
use.
(e) The use will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a manner that is
compatible with the appearance of the existing or intended character of the surrounding
area.
The proposed use will be operated out of the garage located in the backyard of the property
and will be compatible in design to surrounding businesses.
(f) The use and property upon which the use is located are adequately served by essential
public facilities and services.
This is correct.
(g) Adequate measures have been or will be taken to minimize traffic congestion on the
public streets and to provide for appropriate on -site circulation of traffic.
The proposed use is not anticipated to create traffic issues as the shop will only service a few
cars at a time.
22
Planning & Zoning Minutes
Page 3
June 2, 2015
(h) The use will not cause a negative cumulative effect, when considered in conjunction with
the cumulative effect of other uses is the immediate vicinity.
There is no anticipated negative cumulative effect associated with the addition of the
proposed use.
(i) The use complies with all other applicable regulations for the district in which it is
located.
This is correct.
Questions /Comments from Members:
Buesgens asked if the Conditional Use Permit would continue no matter who owns the property if it
is approved. Holmbeck responded that it would remain with the property and that any future owners
would have to follow the same conditions.
Szurek pointed out that the intended business is not minor auto repair, but in fact auto repair and auto
body work which would require a paint booth, etc.
Hoium wanted to know why this is a conditional use rather than a permitted use. Hogeboom
explained it is due to the definitions and parameters established in the Zoning Code. He then
explained that there are a number of non - conforming houses used as businesses along Central
Avenue. He said the Commission may want to re -look at this to allow the properties to be used as
intended (as a residence) rather than converting the use of a commercial one, which is sometimes
hard to accomplish. Hoium then asked what the surrounding property uses are adjacent to this site.
Holmbeck stated that NE Auto Body is directly to the north of this site, American Family Insurance
Office to the south, and residential homes to the rear or west side of this property.
Szurek asked how the City enforces the fact that no one should be living in the house or that there are
property maintenance issues on the site. Hogeboom explained that normally the City would have to
take the residents to court as a violation of the Zoning Code if the house is occupied. He stated that it
could be added to the list of conditions of the CUP so the permission to operate the business could be
revoked if they didn't comply with the conditions.
Szurek then asked what the setback from the alley is for the CBD District. Holmbeck responded that
the required setback is 10 feet and this garage is proposed to be 13.9 feet back from the alley. Szurek
stated that is not much room for parking cars, especially during the winter months. She is concerned
about how they will handle snow removal. She stated that the size of the new garage will bring it
almost up to the back of the house and that there will be a problem with the electrical lines due to the
elevation /grade difference on the site itself. Jay Shahidi from Decorative Construction stated that the
proposed drawing in the packet is not necessarily the actual plan, that it may be changed somewhat,
but he is aware that there must be a 6 foot separation between the house and garage. Szurek felt it
should have been an accurate depiction before it came to the commission. Szurek said this business
would face the alley and would have a detrimental effect on the residential neighbors behind this site.
Most of the other businesses along this block face to the front.

Jay Shahidi was asked how they plan to deal with the automotive fluids that will be part of this
business. He told members that they will store the fluids according to State Guidelines and will
contract with a service to come and haul the fluids away.
Buesgens asked if the owners are aware that there are more than 20 other automotive repair
businesses in Columbia Heights and that there is a lot of competition. Shahidi stated they think they
can do autowork cheaper than other businesses as they will have lower overhead and no employees.
Buesgens stated she thinks this is too much building on too small of a site and as it abuts residential
properties, would have a negative impact on the area. She felt there is not enough parking available
for this type of business.
Lee stated that residents behind this property bought their homes knowing they abutted commercial
property so they have to expect some inconvenience. She also felt that the applicant bought a
commercial property and he should be allowed to use it as such. Hogeboom agreed they have the
right to operate an Auto Body Shop and the City has a right to establish some conditions that makes it
less of an impact to the area.
Hogeboom stated there are a number of conditions that could be considered such as:
1. Not allowing anyone to live in the existing house if the CUP is granted; or
2. Require that the current house be removed as it is very limited on the type of business use that
can occur there.
3. That the new building be constructed on the front side of the lot adjacent to Central Ave.
4. That primary access shall be maintained from the front per approval by MN DOT.
5. That landscaping/vegetation 6 feet in height be established on the west /alley side of the site.
6. That no work shall take place between the hours of 10 pm and 7 am.
7. Applicant shall come to the Planning & Zoning for Site Plan approval.
8. The building and site shall meet all requirements found in the Zoning Code, Fire Code, and
the Building Code.
9. All other applicable local, state, and federal requirements shall be met at all times.
Buesgens asked about whether they had enough financing to finish the project in a timely manner.
Mr. Shahidi said they had enough to construct the proposed garage, but he would have to talk to them
about the new plan to demolish the house and construct a new building off Central Avenue if they
could get MN DOT approval. Hogeboom said he will refer them to "Open for Business" program so
they can check into additional financing and decide on the best option for them.
Buesgens stated she is most concerned about the aesthetics of the site as it is across from the new
Library being built. She wants to make sure that the design of a new building and landscaping meet
the Design Guidelines. Hogeboom stated that would all be considered during the Site Plan Review
Process.

Several other options were also discussed:
1. The owner would like to construct the garage now, then fix up the house and use the lower
level for office and put an apartment upstairs. An apartment cannot be added without gutting
the interior and the upstairs may not be large enough for an apartment. Access to both would
also have to be addressed.
2. Can they fix up the house and rent it out for a business use. Yes, they can, but it would be
very limited as to what type of business could actually use it since the bathroom is upstairs
and it doesn't meet handicap accessibility requirements.
3. They could demo the existing house and build a new building closer to Central Ave that
would have commercial use on the main floor with apartments above it. According to the
existing Code, the only way residential use is allowed is if it is above a commercial business.
Public Hearing Opened
Steven Sanchez, 3923 Van Buren Street just bought his house 3 years ago. He stated that there are
people living in the subject property presently even though that is a violation of the Zoning Code. He
doesn't believe this property is large enough to sustain this type of business. He sees all the other
auto body shops in town and all the vehicles parked near them. He is not excited about a noisy
business with tow trucks coming and going wrecking the brand new alley they are in the process of
re- paving. He doesn't feel it is the best use of this property. Jill Sanchez stated she is concerned with
the number of cars and lack of parking as well as no room for snow removal. She also doesn't think
it makes sense to have the same type of business next door to each other.
Catherine Vesley from the Citizen Design Committee for the Library stated they have spent a lot of
time on the design of the new Library building hoping to improve the City's image along Central
Avenue. She stated she has nothing against Auto Body Shops and also understands the constraints
that the Planning & Zoning Commission must operate under according to law. She hopes whatever is
done on this site will complement the new Library. Vesley said it is the City's responsibility to tweak
the codes and ordinances to accomplish this.
Todd Carpenter the owner of NE Auto Body next door to this site said he currently has two 50 foot
lots and he doesn't have enough room. He stated that he had the opportunity over the years to
purchase this property on several occasions but said it is basically unusable property due to the
elevations. He thinks the owners will have a difficult time since this site is only 47 feet wide so there
is little room for parking vehicles, and access by parts trucks will be nearly impossible.
Mr. Manuel Criollo used a translator to tell the Commission that he just wants to be an honest
businessman who does mechanic work in order to provide for his family. He wants to start with the
garage in back and eventually do something up front as finances allow.

Hogeboom reviewed the list of suggested conditions with the owner and asked him if they would be a
problem. Hogeboom asked Mr. Criollo if he intended on living in the house when he bought it.
Criollo told the members that he bought it for the intent of running his business there. He was forced
to move into the house approximately three weeks ago because where he had been living was illegal
and they were forced to leave. He is currently looking for an apartment to move into as soon as he
can. Hogeboom asked him when he would like to open his business. Criollo said it depended on
what was approved.
Hogeboom asked him if he was aware of the "Open for Business" program. Hogeboom suggested
that he could meet with them and find out if additional funding could be obtained to help him
accomplish his goal.
Lee asked the owner if he was aware that he could build a new building for commercial use on the
main floor and have apartments above. He said that would be nice but he doesn't have enough
funding for that. She then asked him if it was re -zoned so he could use it as a residence instead,
would he consider that option. He said he needs a place to run his business from and he couldn't do
that if this was re -zoned to residential.
Hogeboom said the Commission could approve the CUP with conditions and if they choose not to
pursue it with the noted conditions, nothing would be lost. He also told members that staff will work
with the applicant to see what it is he really wants to do taking into consideration all that was
discussed at this meeting.
Criollo said he just wants to start up his auto repair business in the garage as soon as possible. He
didn't think it would be so complicated. He said if he doesn't get funding help and can't just
construct the new garage as requested, he will have to sell the property.
Hoium asked if there is a minimum parking requirement for this type of business. Holmbeck said
there was but she doesn't have the zoning code with her so she can't look it up. Hoium stated that
requirement is important since the plan submitted may not meet that.
Staff then recommended tabling this request in order to assist the applicant with scheduling a meeting
with the "Open for Business" representative and to see what it is he wants to do based on the
additional information.
Public Hearin; Closed.
Motion by Hoium, seconded by Buesgens to table this matter for further information. All ayes.

The attached site plan illustrates the configuration and orientation of the fireworks tent to Central
Avenue. The Fire Chief has inspected the plans and will conduct a site inspection of the tent prior to
the business opening for operation.

The Comprehensive Plan designates the property for commercial use. The proposal for outdoor
seasonal fireworks sales is consistent with the intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
ZONING ORDINANCE

District. The properties to the north, south and west are also zoned Central Business and the
properties to the east are zoned in the R -4, Multiple Family Residential District. Fireworks tents are
allowed as Interim Uses in the Central Business Zoning District.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Section 9.104 (I) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines seven findings of fact that must be met in order

1. The use is one of the interim uses listed for the zoning district in which the property is located, or
is a substantially similar use, as determined by the Zoning Administrator.
Fireworks tents are an Interim Use in the CBD, Central Business District, and are considered
retail sales, which are permitted.
2. The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan.

27
Planning & Zoning
Page 8
June 2, 2015
3. The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties.
The proposed temporary use should not have any detrimental impact on neighboring
properties because of its proximity to Central Avenue and because it is shielded from adjacent
residential uses.
4. The use will not substantially diminish the use of property in the immediate vicinity.
The fireworks tent as proposed will have no impact on the use of adjacent properties.
5. The use will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a manner that is compatible
with the appearance of the existing or intended character of the surrounding area.
The fire department will conduct an on -site survey prior to the business opening. All state
requirements regarding fireworks sales will be complied with before the fire department will
allow the operation of the business.
6. Adequate measures have been or will be taken to minimize traffic congestion on the public streets
and to provide for appropriate on -site circulation of traffic.
The traffic generated by the fireworks tent will not significantly increase the traffic on the
public streets, and the site is large enough to handle additional interior traffic.
7. The use will not cause a negative cumulative effect on other uses in the immediate vicinity.
As indicated by prior descriptions, the fireworks tent should not have a negative impact on other
uses in the immediate vicinity, which are all zoned commercial.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the Interim Use Permit for a fireworks tent
subject to conditions of approval outlined in the report.

AUTHORIZATION TO SEEK BIDS FOR 2015 SANITARY SEWER PIPE LINING PROJECT
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL:
BY /DATE: Kevin Hansen / September 22, 2015
BY /DATE:
BACKGROUND:
Public Works annually budgets $150,000 for sewer pipe lining to address pipe deficiencies. Through the sewer
lining televising program, utility crews televise and inspect 16,000 — 20,000 feet each year. From these
reports, a determination is made regarding pipe conditions. Along with a history of plugged sewers and /or
backups, a determination is made for which pipe segments would benefit from pipe lining. In addition, during
2014 and 2015, staff has been concentrating the lining program in District 3. The sanitary sewer flow in this
district experiences peaks after rainfall events and is subject to annual financial penalties from the MCES.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
District 3 extends from Reservoir Boulevard to Stinson Boulevard between 37th Avenue and 49th Avenue. Staff
has budgeted $165,000 (approximately 5,000 L.F.) in 2015 to continue lining segments in this district.
Inspection reports have identified significant joint infiltration. Lining will restore pipe integrity and eliminate
infiltration at the joints.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
Move to authorize staff to seek bids for the 2015 Sanitary Sewer Pipe Lining Project to continue lining pipe in
District 3.
