Members absent: Schill
Also present were Elizabeth Holmbeck (Planner), and Shelley Hanson (Secretary) along with Council Liaison,

Motion by Buesgens, seconded by Hoium, to approve the minutes from the meeting of November 1, 2016. All
ayes. MOTION PASSED.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
CASE NO.: 2016-1201
APPLICANT: Thomas Brama
LOCATION: 4400 Stinson Blvd
REQUEST: Preliminary/Final Plat
Holmbeck stated that a few months ago, Brama sought approval for a Plat that proposed 7 lots, that was later
approved for 6. At this time, Thomas Brama has requested a revised Preliminary and Final Plat for the property
located at 4400 Stinson Blvd. NE. The site is currently comprised of 2 lots. The applicant is proposing to
remove the existing lot line, and re-plat the property to result in five single family residential lots. Once the plat
has been approved, the applicant is proposing to keep the existing home on one of the newly created lots and
build 4 new single family residential homes on the remaining newly created lots.
ZONING ORDINANCE
The site is currently comprised of two lots. The properties are located in the R1, Single Family Residential
Zoning District. The properties to the north, south and west are also located in the R1, Single Family
Residential Zoning District. The properties to the east are located in the City of St. Anthony.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for Low Density Residential Development. The City’s
Comprehensive Plan aims to identify new areas that can support single family housing and to encourage newer
higher valued housing opportunities to provide move-up housing for existing and new residents. Re-platting the
property to allow for the construction of new single family homes is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive
Plan.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
The subject property is not located in the Design Guideline Overlay District and as such, is not governed by the
Design Guideline standards.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Section 9.104 (L), (M) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines conditions that must be met in order for the City
to grant a Preliminary and Final Plat. They are as follows:
40
P & Z Minutes
Page 2
December 6, 2016
(a) The proposed preliminary plat conforms with the requirements of § 9.115.
The proposed Preliminary Plat meets the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance
(b) The proposed subdivision is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
This is correct. The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for low-density Residential.
(c) The proposed subdivision contains parcel and land subdivision layout that is consistent with good
planning and site engineering design principles.
This is correct. The proposed subdivision meets the City’s requirements in terms of lot dimension and
lot width.
(d) The Final Plat substantially conforms to the corresponding Preliminary Plat.
This is correct.
Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the proposed
Preliminary and Final Plat for the property located at 4400 Stinson Boulevard NE.
Questions from Members:
The members had no questions at this time.
Public Hearing Opened.
Szurek asked people who wished to speak to limit their comments to 3-5 minutes and to provide their
name and address for the record.
Scott & Kathy Weckwerth from 4417 Benjamin St said they live right behind the site. They purchased
their home there because of the large wooded lots in the neighborhood. They enjoy the quiet, natural
surroundings they have, and believe the addition of 4 homes on that site will change the entire
neighborhood, and will also detract from the adjoining Park/beach area that serves surrounding
communities. She said most people in the area have double lots and if everyone decides to split their
lots and develop them, it will change the natural look of the area which is hard to find in a City setting,
and possibly affect the values of the properties in the area.
Szurek told them the owner has met all the requirements of the City Codes and Comprehensive Plan
and it is his right to develop the property as he wishes, as it would be the right of any owner who can
meet those same requirements. She stated that there is never a guarantee that properties, or a view, will
stay the same.
Szurek asked the owner, Tom Brama, what improvements he has made to the existing home. He said
he put in new windows, heating system, and remodeled the interior. He still has to replace the siding
and also has to run a new sewer line to the house as the existing one has collapsed. Brama told
members he plans on living in that house once he gets that done.

Szurek confirmed that their job is to make a recommendation based on what the present rules are in
relation to the request.

lots will be 12,000+ sf.
Motion by Fiorendino , seconded by Buesgens, to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2016-119, there being

Use Permit per Code Section 9.106 (P) (13) (C) to allow a dynamic light emitting diode (LED) sign in
conjunction with a commercial establishment for the property located at 4259 Central Avenue NE. Holiday
Station Stores is repainting the building and canopy on the site to reflect the store’s modern look. The current
white will be replaced with a light beige color and the pylon sign will be removed. The applicant is requesting
to replace the pylon sign with a monument sign, which will include an LED component which will allow the
business to display business related advertising.
A dynamic LED sign would include any components of a sign that appear to have movement or that appear to
change, caused by a method other than physically removing and replacing the sign or its components. This also
includes any moving, flashing, blinking or animated display and any display that incorporates LED lights
manipulated through digital input, “digital ink” or any other method or technology that allows the sign face to
present a series of images or displays.
ZONING ORDINANCE
The property located at 4259 Central Avenue NE is zoned GB, General Business. The properties to the north,
south and west are zoned General Business and Limited Business, and the properties to the east are zoned One
and Two Family Residential. Dynamic LED signs are permitted in the General Business Zoning District as a
Conditional Use in conjunction with a commercial establishment. A rendering of the proposed sign, and
location map is attached for review.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Comprehensive Plan designates this property for commercial uses. The proposed sign is consistent with the
types of uses guided for this zoning district.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
The subject property is located within the Design Guideline Overlay District, and is governed by the “Highway
District” standards within the Design Guidelines. The following standards are specific design requirements for
signs in the Design Guideline Overlay District:
Signs should be architecturally compatible with the style, composition, materials, colors and details of the
building, and with other signs on nearby buildings. Signs should be an integral part of the building and site
design. Wall and projecting signs should be positioned so they are an integral design feature of the building, and
to complement and enhance the building’s architectural features. Signs should not obscure or destroy
architectural details such as stone arches, glass transom panels, or decorative brickwork.

Signs may be placed:
•In the horizontal lintel above the storefront windows
•Within window glass, provided that no more than 25 percent of any individual window is obscured
•Projecting from the building
•As part of an awning
•In areas where signs were historically attached
Wall signs should generally be rectangular. In most cases, the edges of signs shall include a raised border that
sets the sign apart from the building. Individual raised letters set onto the sign area surface are also preferred.
Projecting signs may be designed in a variety of shapes. Sign colors shall be compatible with the building
facade to which the sign is attached. No more than three colors should be used per sign, unless part of an
illustration. To ensure the legibility of the sign, a high degree of contrast between the background and letters is
preferable. A combination of soft/neutral shades and dark/rich shades are encouraged.
Sign materials should be consistent or compatible with the original construction materials and architectural style
of the building facade on which they are to be displayed. Natural materials such as wood and metal are more
appropriate than plastic. Neon signs may be appropriate for windows.
External illumination of signs is permitted by incandescent, metal halide or fluorescent light that emits a
continuous white light. Light shall not shine directly onto the ground or adjacent buildings. Neon signs are
permitted. Internally lit box signs and awnings are not permitted, with the exception of theater marquees.
Variable electronic message signs are not permitted, with the exception of existing time/temperature signs.
Ground or monument signs are encouraged rather than pylon signs. Sign materials, colors and architectural
detailing should be similar to those of the principal building. The area around the base of the sign should be
landscaped.
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.
Dynamic LED signs are specifically listed as a Conditional Use in the GB, General Business 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 uses. The use is consistent with the intent of the
Comprehensive Plan as the sign is proposed for a commercial establishment.
(c) The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties.
45
The proposed use will not result in any additional noise and should not disrupt neighboring properties. In order
to mitigate any potential disturbances, the City’s Zoning Code outlines specific development standards that
address the operation of dynamic LED signs.
P & Z Minutes

December 6, 2016
(d) The use will not substantially diminish the use of the property in the immediate vicinity.
The use of property in the immediate vicinity will not be diminished by the placement of an LED sign at 4259
Central Avenue NE.
(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 applicant will have to abide by specific development standards as they relate to LED signs. These
standards will help ensure compatibility with the appearance of the existing surrounding area.
(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 use of a dynamic LED sign at this location is not anticipated to affect traffic.
(h) The use will not cause a negative cumulative effect, when considered in conjunction with the cumulative
effect of other uses in the immediate vicinity.
The dynamic LED sign will have to adhere to specific development standards. It is intended that the use will not
cause a negative cumulative effect.
(i) The use complies with all other applicable regulations for the districts in which it is located.
This is correct.
Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the Conditional Use
Permit for the proposed dynamic LED sign for Holiday Station stores, located at 4259 Central Avenue NE.
Questions from Members:
Hoium asked if the new sign would interfere with vehicles turning off 43rd Ave. Holmbeck told members that
Condition #9 addresses this matter. She showed members a map of the area depicting a 30 foot sight triangle to
prevent visual obstructions, and she stated that the Sign Contractor is also aware of this. Holmbeck told
members that she will make sure the Building Official also checks on this when he does his footing inspection
before the sign is actually placed to ensure compliance.
Fiorendino asked when construction of the sign would take place. The contractor stated they will proceed as
soon as it is approved by the City Council on December 12th. He also assured members that the new sign will
be placed further away from the street than the existing sign is.
46
Szurek reiterated that she doesn’t want the new sign blocking visibility of vehicles turning south off 43rd Ave.

Motion by Buesgens, seconded by Fiorendino, that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends the City
Council approve the Resolution No. 2016-120 for a Conditional Use Permit for a proposed dynamic LED sign
for the property located at 4259 Central Avenue NE., subject to certain conditions of approval that have been
found to be necessary to protect the public interest and ensure compliance with the provisions of the Zoning and
Development Ordinance, including:
1.Dynamic LED signs are allowed only on monument signs for conditionally permitted uses in all zoning
districts, with the exception of the PO, Public District, in which LED signage may be utilized in existing
pylon signs. Motor fuel stations may display dynamic LED signs as part of the pylon sign to promote
motor fuel prices only. Such motor fuel price signs do not require a conditional use permit. All dynamic

sign must not have the capability to have dynamic LED signs, even if not used. Only one, contiguous
dynamic display area is allowed on a sign face.
2.A dynamic LED sign may not change or move more often than once every ten seconds for commercial,
industrial uses, or public uses, and no more than once every ten minutes for religious and/or
educational institution uses, except one for which changes are necessary to correct hour-and-minute,
date, or temperature information.
3.A display of time, date or temperature information may change as frequently as once every five seconds,
however information displayed not relating to the date, time or temperature must not change or move
more often than once every ten seconds for commercial, industrial uses, or public uses, and no more
than once every ten minutes for religious and/or educational institution uses.
4.The images and messages displayed must be static, and the transition from one state display to another
must be instantaneous without any special effects. Motion, animation and video images are prohibited
on dynamic LED sign displays.
5.The images and messages displayed must be complete in themselves, without continuation in content to
the next image or message or to any other sign.
47
6.Dynamic LED signs must be designed and equipped to freeze the device in one position if a malfunction
shall occur. The displays must also be equipped with a means to immediately discontinue the display if it
malfunctions, and the sign owner must immediately stop the dynamic display when notified by the city
that it is not complying with the standards of this section.

7.Dynamic LED signs may not exceed a maximum illumination of 5,000 nits (candelas per square meter)
during daylight hours and a maximum illumination of 500 nits (candelas per square meter) between
dusk to dawn as measured from the sign's face at maximum brightness. Dynamic LED signs must have
an automatic dimmer control to produce a distinct illumination change from a higher illumination level
to a lower level for the time period between one-half hour before sunset and one half-hour after sunrise.
8.Dynamic LED signs existing on the effective date of Ordinance 1593, passed April 25, 2011, must
comply with the operational standards listed above. An existing dynamic LED sign that does not meet
the structural requirements may continue as a non-conforming sign subject to § 9.105(E).
9.Traffic visibility. No planting, structure or other obstruction shall be placed or allowed to grow on
corner lots in a manner that will impede vision on the intersecting rights-of-way, in accordance with the
following sight triangle: No planting or structure in excess of 30 inches above the abutting curb line
shall be permitted within the sight triangle, defined as the area beginning at the intersection of the
projected curb line of two intersecting streets, then 30 feet along one curb line, diagonally to a point 30
feet from the point of beginning on the other curb line, then back to a point of beginning. A Site Triangle
Map is attached. The Building Official or City Planner will conduct a site inspection at the time a
building permit and sign permit is issued to ensure compliance.

CASE NO: 2016-1203
APPLICANT: 500, LLC., Property Owner
LOCATION: 3989 Central Avenue, 3889 Central Avenue, 950 40th Avenue
REQUEST: Zoning Amendment-Rezoning
Holmbeck told members that 500 LLC., owner of the property at 3989 Central Avenue NE. has petitioned the
City of Columbia Heights to change the zoning designation of site from ‘Central Business’ to ‘Mixed Use’. This
change would accommodate the relocation of Prodeo Academy to the site. Prodeo Academy, a kindergarten –
fourth grade charter school currently located within First Lutheran Church, would occupy a portion of the first
and second floors, and the entire third floor, serving as an anchor tenant in the building.
Nancy Aleksuk, representative of the owner, states that retail and commercial uses are anticipated for the
Central Avenue-facing portion of the first floor of the building, and that commercial office users are anticipated
to occupy upper-stories of the building. Aleksuk anticipates bringing exterior renderings of the property before
the Planning and Zoning Commission in early 2017 as part of the official Site Plan approval process.
50
FINDINGS OF FACT
Section 9.104(F)(5) requires four findings of fact to be made when a zoning amendment petition is made. The
findings of fact are as follows:
(a) The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
P & Z Minutes
Page 12
December 6, 2016
The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for “Commercial”. It has been repeatedly demonstrated throughout
the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area that mixed use zoning is consistent with, and primarily comprised of,
commercial development. In Columbia Heights, mixed use zoning permits residential, commercial and
institutional uses. Currently, both commercial and residential uses are permitted on this property.
(b) The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a single property owner.
The Northeast Business Center is the largest commercial building in Columbia Heights, and serves as an
anchor for our downtown area. The building is unique in that it is the only multi-story, non-residential building
along the Central Avenue corridor. Allowing a mix of uses to facilitate occupancy and redevelopment of the
building is in the public’s interest.
(C) 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.
Unfortunately, the building is currently vacant and not in use. The proposed redevelopment will include only
uses that are permissible within the Mixed Use Zoning District.
(D) 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 its current zoning classification.
Increasingly, multi-story buildings are including a wide variety of users, including educational institutions. In
fact, an educational institution had occupied this building (despite an inconsistency with the Central Business
Zoning classification) in the past.
Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the proposed rezoning of
the property located at 3989 Central Avenue, 3889 Central Avenue, 950 40th Avenue, based on the
aforementioned findings of fact.
Questions from members;
Buesgens said she thinks a Mixed Use Zoning is appropriate for this site. She thinks it will draw other business
to the area. She does, however, have concerns about the cars and buses that will line up to drop off and pick up
students. She said she believes this will cause congestion on Central and 40th Avenue which are both very busy
at that time of day.
51
Holmbeck said staff had the same concerns also, but re-zoning the property to Mixed Use probably makes the
best sense long term for this corner. She told members that the owner will need to provide detailed information
on how they will address the increased traffic due to parents and buses, as well as where the loading and
unloading zone will be as part of their Site Plan approval process. The Re-zoning opens up the building for
other possibilities as it will add permitted uses from the General Business District, the Limited Business
District, as well as the existing Central Business District. She explained that it allows for office use, retail, as
well as educational/institutional, and that the site must have at least two of these uses.
P & Z Minutes

December 6, 2016
Fiorendino asked what the Mall to the north is zoned. Holmbeck told him it was zoned Central Business
District as are most of the properties along Central from 39th to 42nd Avenue. Fiorendino asked what the history
of the property has been for commercial use. Holmbeck said it was originally used as office space and the
entire building had been leased out. However, over time tenants moved out and other uses were added, but it is
now outdated and is entirely vacant since NE Bank moved out. Fiorendino said he has concerns about putting a
school in there for a variety of reasons. He asked Holmbeck to again explain the process they will need to go
through in order for that to happen.
Holmbeck said the owners will need to go through the Site Plan process, whereby they will need to provide
renderings of all interior and exterior changes, information about where office space will be located, where
retail space would be located and specific information about play areas, ingress and egress of the occupants, as
well as traffic patterns, parking, etc. This will all be reviewed by the Commission for approval of the Site Plan.
Szurek said she travels near 41st Avenue & Tyler where the school is presently located and noted how congested
it is during drop off and pick up times. She said she believes it will be worse at this site since Central and 40th
Ave are both busy streets. She doesn’t feel buildings such as these, or spaces in malls, are appropriate locations
for schools because they lack room for buses and play areas for kids. Szurek stated she doesn’t understand
why schools want to locate in these types of facilities. She understands the building owner wanting to fill the
building, but doesn’t think this is a good use. The activity and noise generated are not conducive to attracting
other office or retail tenants.
Public Hearing Opened.
Randy Valtinson from 5027 7th Street said if they meet the rules he would like to see the building occupied and
updated.
Joe Mack from 3943Van Buren said the businesses that were in that building left because they didn’t like the
Alternative School that was located there. They got tired of the kids hanging out in areas around the building
and felt it had an impact on the employees and patrons of the other businesses.
Nancy Aleksuk from 500 LLC and Swervo Development was present to answer questions. Rick from Prodeo
Academy was also present to address questions regarding the relocation of the school. They said they plan to
use the alley at the back of the building for the school buses and parents to drop off or pick up students. Szurek
said the plan looks good on paper, but doesn’t believe they will be able to control where parents park to do this.
They will pull up wherever they can and it will only add to the congestion at that intersection at the most
congested times of the day. Aleksuk said they believe they have enough room in the alley to stack 4 buses,
plus vehicles. Szurek said she doesn’t feel that is a safe plan to have kids walking in between vehicles and
buses, plus it would block the alleyway which she thought was a public access.
52
Beusgens agreed that traffic will be an issue if a school is placed in this building, especially if they plan on
expanding.
Fiorendino asked what other uses would be permitted in this building. Holmbeck again told members that
office space, retail, and institutional business uses that are now permitted in General Business, Limited
Business, or Central Business Districts.

OTHER BUSINESS
1.Vacancy on the Planning & Zoning Commission. Since Connie Buesgens has been elected to the City
Council her seat will be vacated after she is sworn in at the January 9th Council meeting. Applications
will be taken, interviews held, and a new member will be appointed sometime in January or February.
2.Buesgens asked if the City has a tool to measure illumination of LED signs. Since we are getting more
and more of these, she felt it is important to have a tool so that Staff can make sure they are in
compliance. The other members agreed that staff should look into obtaining one. Holmbeck said shew
ill bring it up to the Director.
3.Buesgens asked if other members thought it appropriate to request a moratorium be placed on the
issuance of any additional rental licenses to give staff time to gather information on the percentage of
properties that are now rental, the density of rentals in neighborhoods, and whether future licenses
should be controlled in some way. She said the higher the number of rental properties, and the density
of that number in any one area, have a direct correlation to Police and Fire Services. Her goal is to keep
neighborhoods healthy. Holmbeck said she will try to add this to the City Council Work Session in
January to see if the City Council is interested in pursuing this idea.

FINDINGS OF FACT
Section 9.104 (K) of the Zoning Code outlines specific conditions in order for the City Council to approve a
minor subdivision. They are as follows:
1.The proposed subdivision of land will not result in more than three lots.
The proposed subdivision will result in two conforming lots.
2.The proposed subdivision of land does not involve the vacation of existing easements.
No vacation of existing easements will occur as a result of the minor subdivision.
3.All lots to be created by the proposed subdivision conform to lot area and width requirements
established for the zoning district in which the property is located.
The newly created lots will both conform to the lot width and lot area requirements established for the
property for the property’s zoning designation.
4.The proposed subdivision does not require the dedication of public rights-of-way for the purpose of
gaining access to the property.
This is correct.
5.The property has not previously been divided through the minor subdivision provisions of this article.
This is correct.
6.The proposed subdivision does not hinder the conveyance of land.
This is correct.
7.The proposed subdivision does not hinder the making of assessments or the keeping of records related to
assessments.
This is correct.
8.The proposed subdivision meets all of the design standards specified in Section 9.115.
This is correct.
Staff review finds that the application meets the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff recommends that
the Planning and Zoning Commission approve the proposed minor subdivision for the property located at 1016
44th Avenue NE., Columbia Heights, MN 55421.
Questions from members:
Szurek asked how the low area will affect the placement of the house and if soil borings had been done to find
out the soil conditions to see if it is actually a buildable lot.

Holmbeck said Engineering has recommended that a structure be placed as close to 43 ½ Ave as possible while
still meeting the necessary setbacks to avoid the low area that does flood from time to time. She said that
flooding occurs across the middle of the property and has flooded the existing garage before and comes close to
the existing house along 44th Avenue. Holmbeck said the lot split submitted does meet the requirements to
establish two lots with adequate square footage on each. She stated that corrections will need to be made to the
drainage of the lot according to the City Engineer’s Report before construction can occur. This will be handled
during the permitting and plan review process. Holmbeck said it may cost more to make the necessary
corrections, but that is not the issue before the Commission. It is up to the developer how much money they
want to put into building a structure on the property.
Hoium asked if the owner doesn’t build on the extra lot, if it would result in less taxes being collected.
Holmbeck didn’t know what the tax difference would be.
Szurek asked why the lot wasn’t split evenly across the middle. Holmbeck said it was split where it was in
order for the owner to meet square footage requirements for the existing single family home, as well as the
square footage for a possible double bungalow on the vacant piece (once the garage is removed) that will face
43 ½ Avenue. Szurek stated that the lot may technically meet the square footage requirements, but much of it is
unbuildable low area and wondered if it would be large enough to accommodate a double bungalow.
Public Hearing Opened.
Paul Ramacher from 1025 44th Avenue said he is a surveyor and that the proposed lot split is questionable in his
opinion. He said he would have no problem if it were divided down the middle with plans for a single family
home to be constructed. His problem is adding another double bungalow that will be rented out in a
neighborhood that is already unkept due to the large number of rental property in the immediate vicinity.
Ramacher said he understands the owner is trying to maximize his profit from this investment, but the City
needs to make decisions that are best for the community. They should be looking at other th ings rather than just
tax dollars. Ramacher felt that the only way to improve the neighborhood would be to add more single family
homes into the mix of apartment buildings and double bungalow rentals.
Mike Guzik from 1030 44th Avenue is two houses up from the existing house. He agrees with Ramacher. He
also isn’t opposed to a single family home being constructed, but is opposed to more rental pro perties. It is
becoming a neighborhood of all rentals, and he would like to see owner -occupied single family homes. The
rental properties aren’t kept up now and he is constantly calling the Fire/Police Departments regarding lack of
lawn maintenance, noise issues, the unsightly condition of the homes, and debris in the yards. He told the
members that it is time they give some thought to the actual homeowners who live in these neighborhoods.
Holmbeck reminded the audience and the members that this Public Hearing is for the lot split only to see if it
meets City requirements. Future plans for the lot would be discussed later.
Brian Beaufeaux, owner of the property and the applicant, told members he had done core sample testing of the
site and it is a buildable lot. He has a report if they wish to see a copy. He told members he would be fixing up
the existing house so that his son can move into it. He set up the lot split the way he did to meet the
requirements of the City Code that would leave him options to construct either a single family home or a double
bungalow. He has talked to builders who are hesitant to construct a single family home because they don’t
think it will sell. If he builds a double bungalow, which it is zoned for, his company would be managing the
property.

Buesgens disagreed with him and thought a single family home would sell and explained why mixing some
additional single family homes into a neighborhood such as this would help make for a better neighborhood all
around.
Schill asked if he decided to build a single family home if he would leave the lot size the same as this proposal.
Beaufeaux stated it would remain the same. He said the low area across the middle in the easement area is
unusable anyways so it wouldn’t matter which lot it is a part of.
Paul Craven from 1042 43 ½ Avenue lives to the east of the vacant piece. He acknowledged that it is noisy due
to a concentration of rental properties and that kids often times play in the streets. He said a double bungalow
wouldn’t be out of place, but a single family home certainly would be preferred. He thinks parking will be an
additional problem.
Hoium asked what the conditional use is that will be considered. Holmbeck said this request is for the
subdivision of the lot only and if it meets the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The second item that will
be considered is the Conditional Use that is required before the use can operate. If he was proposing a single
family home, he wouldn’t need a CUP, but because he is considering the construction of a double bungalow, a
CUP is necessary.
Paul Ramacher wants the Planning & Zoning Commission to deny his request.
Mike Guzik asked if the lot split is approved, how many of the members really believed he would ever consider
building a single family home. He believes money will drive him to build another double bungalow, which the
neighborhood does not need.
Buesgens said it is the job of the Commission to enforce the Zoning Ordinance. She said the owner has the
right to make the request. The Code allows for this. If we vote against what is allowed by Code, it opens the
door for legal action unless a reasonable reason is found that determines the request to be detrimental or
harmful.
Schill agreed that if it meets requirements, they need to approve it legally.
Szurek encouraged residents to attend the City Council meeting on November 14th as they will make the final
decision on this. The Planning & Zoning Commission is an advisory board only. She also said that the City
Attorney can answer any of the legal questions they have as he will be present at that meeting.
Even though it was the consensus of the Board that they don’t want it developed with additional rental units in
this neighborhood either, they must make their recommendation based on whether it meets the requirements of
the code. Since this meets both the Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan, they cannot deny the
request. Buesgens stated we need to make changes to the Zoning Code and the Comprehensive Plan in order
to prevent this in the future if the City would like more control over the type of construction that is proposed.
Public Hearing Closed.
Motion by Hoium , seconded by Buesgens, to waive the reading of Resolution NO. 2016-104, there being ample
copies available to the public. All ayes. MOTION PASSED.

CASE NO. 2016-1102
APPLICANT: Brian Beaufeaux, IAE Leasing, LLC.
LOCATION: 1016 44th Avenue NE., Columbia Heights, MN 55421
REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit
At this time, Brian Beaufeaux on behalf of IAE Leasing, LLC is requesting a Conditional Use Permit per Code
Section 9.109 (F) (3) to allow a two-family dwelling to be built on the property located at 1016 44th Avenue
NE. IAE Leasing, LLC has recently purchased the property and is applying to have the lot subdivided to allow
for future development of a two-family dwelling on the newly created southern lot. The proposed Conditional
Use Permit meets the guidelines in the Zoning Code. A narrative provided by the applicant is attached.

ZONING ORDINANCE
The subject property is located in the R-2A, One and Two-Family Residential District, as are the properties to
the north. The properties to the south, east and west, are located in the R-2A One and Two Family District, the
R-2B, Built as Duplexes District and R-3, Multiple Family District.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for low density residential development. According to the City’s
Comprehensive Plan, low density residential development is defined as single family detached, and single
family attached dwellings (twin-homes/duplexes). The proposed Conditional Use Permit to allow for a two-
family dwelling is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
The subject property is not located in the Design Guideline Overlay District.
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.
Two-Family dwellings are specifically listed as a Conditional Use in the R-2A, One and Two-Family
Residential 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 residential uses. The use is consistent with the intent of the
Comprehensive Plan as the Conditional Use Permit allows for Two-Family residential development.
(c) The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties.
The proposed use is defined as low-density residential and should not disrupt neighboring properties. In order
to mitigate any potential disturbances, the City’s Zoning Code outlines Specific Development Standards 9.107
(C) (52) and General Provisions 9.109 that address Two-Family Residential Development.
(d) The use will not substantially diminish the use of the property in the immediate vicinity.
The use of property in the immediate vicinity will not be diminished by residential development at 1016 44th
Avenue NE.
(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.
Since the surrounding area is currently comprised of a mix of single family, two-family and multiple-family
residential, it is anticipated that the use will be compatible with the existing and intended character of the
surrounding area. Additionally, the applicant will have to abide by specific development standards,
construction and engineering standards as they relate to any future development on the lot. These standards
will help ensure compatibility with the appearance of the existing surrounding area.

(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.
This is correct
(h) The use will not cause a negative cumulative effect, when considered in conjunction with the cumulative
effect of other uses in the immediate vicinity.
Since the surrounding area is currently comprised of a mix of single family, two-family and multiple-family
residential, it is anticipated that the use will be compatible with the surrounding area and not cause a negative
cumulative effect on other uses in the surrounding area.
(i) The use complies with all other applicable regulations for the districts in which it is located.
This is correct.
Staff review finds that the application meets the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff recommends that
the Planning and Zoning Commission approve the proposed Conditional Use Permit for the property located at
1016 44th Avenue NE., Columbia Heights, MN 55421.
Questions from members:
Hoium asked what the minimum lot width is for this zoning district. Holmbeck told him 60 feet and this lot is
70 feet wide. Hoium then said he believes that “C” & “D” in the Findings of Fact are not met, and therefore he
would recommend denial of this request.
Buesgens asked why a CUP is needed in the first place since it is zoned “R2” which allows for single family or
two family homes already, and he hasn’t submitted specific plans yet so that applicable conditions can’t
necessarily be established. Holmbeck said the Zoning Ordinance requires a CUP in order to construct a two
family residence which is why it is brought before the Commission at this time.
Public Hearing Opened.
Mike Guzik (1030 44th Ave) reiterated his reasons for not wanting another double bungalow in the area which
would definitely be rental property.
Paul Ramacher (1025 44th Ave) agrees that “C” is not met in the Findings in Fact and believes the Commission
should use that reason to deny the CUP request. He said all the rental s in this City put additional stress on
Police Dept. personnel.
Brian Beaufeaux told members he had applied for the Lot Split and CUP in good faith and that his request
meets the requirements. He doesn’t believe they can change the rules just because the y don’t like his plan.

Motion by Hoium, seconded by Schill, that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends that the City
Council deny the conditional use permit for the property located at 1016 44th Avenue NE., based on the fact that
“C” & “D” of the Findings of Fact are not met. “C”—The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences
on neighboring properties and “D”-- The use will not substantially diminish the use of the property in the
immediate vicinity.
This CUP was also subject to certain conditions for approval that have been found to be necessary to protect
the public interest and ensure compliance with the provisions of the Zoning and Development Ordinance,
including:
1.The applicant shall meet the requirements outlined in the report from the Public Works Director/City
Engineer dated October 26th, 2016.
2.The applicant is required to remove the existing garage on the south end of the current lot within 6
months from the dated of City Council action. The garage must be removed before any future
development can occur on the lot.

meet with City Engineering Staff to address localized flooding concerns. Any new development will
be required to meet any Engineering requirements that are deemed necessary to mitigate future
flooding, or soil erosion.
4.Future Two-Family Residential development that occurs on the lot must adhere to the City’s Zoning
Code requirements. The development is required to provide enclosed parking spaces that meet City
requirements. Any outdoor, off-street parking areas containing six or more parking spaces must be

requirements.
5.The building and site shall be meet all requirements found in the Fire Code and the Building Code.
6.All other applicable local, state, and federal requirements shall be met at all times.

PUBLIC HEARING TO DESIGNATE “NO PARKING” ON THE EAST SIDE OF TYLER STREET FROM THE
DRIVEWAY TO 70’ NORTH
Residents and others present: Julie Johnson, First Lutheran Church
Jane Pemberton, 4050 Tyler Street
Howard Wigand, 4044 Tyler Street
At the October meeting, the Traffic Commission called for a public hearing to designate “No Parking” on
the east side of Tyler Street from the parking lot driveway to 70’ north of the driveway. At the October
meeting, representatives of First Lutheran Church and the neighbors across from the proposed “No
Parking” location discussed their concerns with parked cars on Tyler Street making it difficult for adjacent
residents to back out of their driveways.
Ms. Julie Johnson stated two neighbors live directly across from First Lutheran Church on Tyler Street and
they have had difficulty over the last couple of years getting out of their driveways. As the school has
grown, the number of volunteers and teachers has also increased and they are sometimes parking on both
sides of Tyler Street. This makes it tight and tricky for Jane and Howard to get out of their driveways. She
would like no parking designated at the grassy area directly across from their driveways, but feels it would
be beneficial to continue to have parking to the north. Olson inquired about the neighbors to the north of
First Lutheran Church. Ms. Johnson informed him that their driveways open onto 41st Avenue. Doty
asked if the grades will be expanded from K-3 to K-8 or K-12. Ms. Johnson stated the school cannot
expand any further at First Lutheran. They may have a split with two campuses or they may be moving
out, but nothing has been determined to date.
Motion by Olson to recommend the City Council designate “No Parking Anytime” on the east side of Tyler
Street from the First Lutheran Church parking lot driveway to 70’ north of the driveway. Seconded by
Doty. Motion passed unanimously.
Carlson informed those present that this will go to council on Monday, November 14th. Ms. Johnson asked 66

A. REQUEST FOR SAFETY CHANGES ON RESERVOIR BOULEVARD FROM 37TH AVENUE TO 40TH AVENUE
Carrie and Joshua Gille have requested several changes along Reservoir Boulevard from 37th Avenue to
40th Avenue and 40th Avenue at Tyler Street. The concern is the speed of traffic and drivers not complying
with posted stop signs.
Each of the suggestions listed in the letter will be addressed below:
-Provide residents with yard signs to be placed on the boulevards in front of their homes.
Public Works will discuss this idea with the Police and Community Development departments.
-Put up additional speed limit signs along Reservoir Boulevard.
-Put up “SLOW” traffic signs along Reservoir Boulevard.
Studies have shown that these types of street signs are not effective in changing driver behavior.
-Paint reflective pedestrian crosswalks at the intersections of Reservoir Boulevard and its side streets.
The intersection at 39th Avenue is offset on each side of Reservoir Boulevard. The intersections at Peters
Place and Gould Avenue are “T” intersections. Pedestrian crossings at these locations would be similar to
“midblock” crossings which are unsafe.
-Put up “Pedestrian Crossing” signs at the busiest intersections along Reservoir, particularly at 40th Avenue
NE and Reservoir Boulevard.
The intersection at 40th Avenue and Reservoir Boulevard is Anoka County State Aid Highway 2. Public
Works will discuss the addition of crosswalk markings and signage at Reservoir Boulevard and 40th Avenue
with Anoka County. There is quite a bit of traffic at this intersection.
-Put up flashing stop signs at 40th Ave NE and Reservoir Boulevard, as well as 40th Avenue NE and
Tyler Street NE.
The intersection at 40th Avenue and Reservoir Boulevard is Anoka County State Aid Highway 2. To date,
Anoka County does not install flashing stop signs. A question was raised whether this is also a Minneapolis 67

street. Minneapolis owns the right-of-way but traffic control is managed by either Anoka County or
Columbia Heights. Minneapolis is only concerned about their water mains.
Captain Austin provided accident information but was unable to locate any recent speed data for that
section. Stated most of the speed complaints are between 44th and 41st Avenues. He currently has the
speed trailer out to gather data for the next meeting. There is a lot of traffic on the road in the mornings.
Motion by Olson to direct staff to request the addition of crosswalk markings and signage at Reservoir
Boulevard and 40th Avenue. Seconded by Clerkin. Motion passed unanimously.
REPORTS
A. CITY ENGINEER
None
B. POLICE
Captain Austin presented the speed data for Stinson Boulevard between 45th Avenue and Fairway
Drive. The average speed was 30.86 mph. He also contacted the City of New Brighton for accident
data at 5th Street and Stinson Boulevard. There have been five accidents in the last five years. The
bus company has not gotten back to him to date. However, they were going to contact their safety
person to possibly move the bus stop to actually pull out onto Stinson Boulevard rather than stopping
on 5th Street. Captain Austin will follow up.
C. COMMISSIONERS
Olson questioned putting a crosswalk marking on Mill Street to the main entrance of City Hall like the
one by Medtronic. Young stated a pedestrian study was done several years ago for Mill Street and
showed that people cross everywhere.
Carlson asked if any changes have been made to the handicap parking spots at Murzyn Hall. Young
stated they added one additional spot near the east door and two more in the parking lot. One was
not added to the west door because it’s not considered a handicap accessible entrance due to the
steps.
Doty stated he will email Kathy a picture of the seasonal duck crossing sign in St. Anthony.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES: MEETING MINUTES
Wednesday, November 2nd, 2016
Approved
12/7/2016
The meeting was called to order by Chair Patricia Sowada at 5:30 p.m. Members present were: Patricia Sowada,
Catherine Vesley, Steve Smith, and Council Liaison Gary Peterson. Also present was Library Director Renee Dougherty
and Recording Secretary Nick Olberding.
The Minutes of the October 5th, 2016 Board Meeting were approved.
The Bill List dated October 12th, 2016 was reviewed. It was moved, seconded, and passed that the bills be paid.
The Bill List dated October 26th, 2016 was reviewed. It was moved, seconded, and passed that the bills be paid.
The Accounting Sheet as of October 2016 was reviewed, and approved.
o Library is at 70% of the year’s budget (not counting October Utilities). Discussion on the electricity costs
for the first few months the library was opened. If we go over in the electrical budget category (3810), we
will be able to move funds over from another line in the 3000 range. Eric (CH Public Works) now has been
trained‐in on the operation of all the environmental control and lighting, so we can now make
adjustments more quickly, and avoid waste in the future.
o Minnesota Library Association memberships for the Library Director, Adult/ Children’s Librarians were
brought up. Board agreed that it is important to have these professional memberships, and they are
relatively inexpensive (about $50/month for all three memberships).
o E‐Books are over‐budget, but print books are under‐budget, and will cover the overage. The amount of e‐
book costs were underestimated on this year’s budget, and will be corrected for next year. We are
charged by Anoka County for our use of E‐books based on our patron’s usage of them. They have
estimated our usage as being 5% of the total, so we are charged 5% of their cost for the service.
o An inquiry into why we need Orkin Pest Control already. The city has preventative contracts with Orkin
for all city buildings. They do routine check‐ups and perimeter spraying to protect the properties. There is
concern that gaps can be seen in several library doors (children’s emergency door, and boiler room door),
and Orkin said they should be remedied before mice start finding a way in. It was joked about that we
need a library cat (which would be a fitting addition), but with staff and patron allergies, it’s not realistic.
o The Automated Materials Handler was applauded. It has led to less items being missed at check‐in, and
speeds up the book delivery and discharging of the book drop. Items returned directly through outdoor
book drop are checked in immediately, and it works during the overnights and weekends (unlike the bin
that collected materials at the old building). May need more signage for patrons; even though we’ve tried
to get the word out that it is available, quite a few patrons are still unaware.
Old Business:
Construction Update
o Boilers are now up and running.
o Donor wall installed.
o Solar panels installed; nearly operational.
o The MWMO sponsored water management system on the property is impressive. Does a good job of
69
handling runoff. MWMO has offered to do some staff training (and have extended the offer to interested
members of the board, and the city) on the features of the system. Children’s Librarian is also working
with them on children’s activity sheets about storm water management/water pollution.
Youth Read Down: 27 participants resulted in $124 in overdue fines being waived; adults have asked for a similar
opportunity for them. Read Down months next year: January, June/July, and October.
Staff Updates: With the cooperation of HR, research was done on part‐time wages offered at other metro library
systems and several independent libraries. It was discovered that we are on the low end. An adjustment in pay
was brought before the City Council, and it was approved.
New Business:
Usage of the New Library: July – September 2016: See Graphs (attached)
Items from the Floor:
Additional Closed Day: Columbia Heights City Offices will be closed on Saturday, December 23rd 2017; to be in
compliance, we will also be closed that day…approved.
Resignation: Of her own volition, Barbara Tantanella is resigning from the Library Board of Trustees.
Old Library: The status of the latest offer on the building is not known, but it was from a tax paying organization.
Suggestions of it becoming an art and music center were brought up. Costs to operate the building are around
$100,000/year, so there would need to be a lot of public interest in order for it to remain a city owned public
space.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:55p.m. by Patricia Sowada, and seconded.
Respectfully submitted,
Nicholas P. Olberding

BY/DATE: Kevin Hansen / November 14, 2016 BY/DATE:
BACKGROUND:
The Snow and Ice Control Policy was reviewed by city staff and minor changes were made this year. These
changes included minor equipment changes and operational clarification. Based upon an October 8, 1998
Snow and Ice Control workshop sponsored by the League of Minnesota Cities, it is strongly recommended by
attorneys at the LMC that every city have a Snow and Ice Control policy that is reviewed by the City Council

with a resolution approving the City’s Snow and Ice Control Policy.
ANALYSIS/CONCLUSIONS:
The plan has been updated for the 2017-2018 year with minor revisions to clarify operational procedures:
•Miscellaneous snow removal from designated sidewalks was modified to exclude property no longer
owned by Community Development.
•Columbia Heights will be responsible for plowing/ice control maintenance on 37th Avenue from Central
Avenue to Stinson Boulevard for 2016-2017.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Public Works recommends passage of Resolution 2016-110 adopting the 2017-
2018 Snow and Ice Control Policy.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2016-110, there being ample
copies available to the public.
Move to approve and adopt Resolution No. 2016-110, being a resolution adopting the 2017-2018 Snow and
Ice Control Policy for the City of Columbia Heights.

SNOW AND ICE CONTROL POLICY
2017/2018
73
SNOWPLOWING AND ICE CONTROL POLICY
1.Introduction:
The City of Columbia Heights believes that it is in the best interest of the residents for
the City to assume basic responsibility for control of snow and ice on city streets.
Reasonable ice and snow control is necessary for routine travel and emergency services.
The City strives to provide such control in a safe and cost effective manner, keeping in
mind safety, budget, personnel and environmental concerns. The City will use city
employees, equipment and /or private contractors to provide this service. This policy
does not relieve the operator of private vehicles, pedestrians, property owners,
residents and all others that may be using public streets, of their responsibility to act in
a reasonable, prudent and cautious manner, given the prevailing street conditions.
1.When will city start snow and ice control operations?
The Director of Public Works or assigned representative will decide when to begin snow
or ice control operations. The criteria for that decision are:
A. Snow accumulation of three (3) inches or more;
B. Drifting of snow that causes problems for travel;
C. Icy conditions which seriously affect travel;
D. Time of snowfall in relationship to heavy use of streets;
E. Weather forecast, temperature, type of snow, duration and intensity of storm
The Police Department assists Public Works Maintenance in monitoring street
conditions and notifies Public Works Maintenance personnel of snow and ice conditions
needing immediate attention. Maintenance personnel are notified in accordance with
the Public Works Department policy for emergency calls.
Snow and ice control operations are expensive and involve the use of limited personnel
and equipment. Consequently city wide snowplowing operations will not generally be
conducted for snowfall accumulations of less than three (3) inches. Plowing during the
parking ban has proven to be the most efficient.
2.How snow will be plowed?
Snow will be plowed in a manner so as to minimize traffic obstructions. The center of the
roadway will be plowed first. The snow shall then be pushed from centerline to curb on
two-way streets. On one-way streets or where there is a center boulevard, snow may be
pushed in either direction. Discharge shall go onto the boulevard area. Generally,
operations shall continue until all roads are passable. There may be instances when this is
not possible depending on storm conditions and other circumstances.
74
Priorities and schedule of streets plowing and snow removal.
The city has classified city streets based on the street function, traffic volume and
importance to the welfare of the community. Some priorities are performed
simultaneously depending on conditions and existing situations.
Priority #1 - Main thoroughfares, low volume residential and commercial streets, Public
Safety building parking lots and accesses, alleys, cul-de-sacs, dead ends, pump and lift
station accesses.
Priority #2 - Municipal building parking lots and sidewalks, pedestrian bridges, designated
sidewalk routes.
Priority #3 - (Business District, parking lots, widening streets, etc.) Snow removal as needed.
Priority #4 - Central Avenue (streetscape district only - 37th to 43rd Avenues). Snow removal
around bus benches as needed
Priority #5 - Park pathways, skating rinks and hockey rinks
Priority #6 - Industrial and school hydrants – snow removal as needed
Priority #7 - Residential hydrants – snow removal as needed – Assist Adopt-a-Hydrant
Program.
Priority #8 - Murzyn Hall, City Hall, Library. Check for ice dams and plugged drains.
Remove ice dams and open drains as needed.
During significant and severe storms, the city must be prepared to move personnel and
equipment to maintain priority routes first. In fulfilling the need to have all priority streets
safe and passable, when resources are limited, plowing of all other streets may be stopped
at any time so resources can be shifted to priority routes.
Unforeseeable circumstances may cause delays in completing assigned plow routes. Such
circumstances may include weather conditions that endanger the safety of snowplow
operators and/or safe and effective operation of equipment, commuter traffic, disabled
vehicles, poor visibility conditions, parked cars along streets, assistance to emergency
response vehicles, equipment breakdown, and personnel shortages.
3.Snow Removal
The Director of Public Works or assigned representative will determine if and when snow
will be removed from the area by truck. Such snow removal will occur in areas where there
is no room on the boulevard for snow storage and in areas where accumulated piles of
snow create a hazardous condition. Snow removal operations will not commence until
other snowplowing operations have been completed. Snow removal operations may also
75
be delayed depending on weather conditions, personnel and budget availability. The snow
will be removed and hauled to a snow storage area. The snow storage area will be located
so as to minimize environmental problems.
4. Work schedule for snowplow operators.
Snow plow operators will be expected to work eight-hour shifts. In severe snow
emergencies, operators sometimes have to work in excess of eight – hour shifts. Safety of
the plow operators and the public is important. Therefore, if additional qualified snow plow
operators are not available snow plowing/removal operations may be terminated after 12
hours to allow personnel adequate time for rest. Any decision to suspend operations shall
be made by the Director of Public Works and shall be based on the conditions of the storm.
5. Traffic Regulations
The city recognizes that snowplow operators are exempt from traffic regulations set forth in
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 169 while actually engaged in work on streets, except for
regulations related to driving while impaired and the safety of school children. Pursuant to
this authority, snowplow operator engaged in snow removal or ice control on city streets
have discretion to disregard traffic laws set forth in Chapter 169, except for laws relating to
impaired driving and school children safety, when in their judgment, it is safe to disregard
such laws. The privileges granted herein to operators of snow removal and ice control
vehicles shall apply only if the vehicle is equipped with one lighted lamp displaying a
flashing, oscillating, or rotating amber light placed in such a position on the vehicle as to be
visible throughout an arc of 360 degrees.
6. Weather Conditions
Snow and ice control operations will be conducted only when weather conditions do not
endanger the safety of the snowplow operators and equipment. Factors that may delay
snow and ice control operations include but are not limited to: severe cold, significant
winds, and limited visibility.
7. Use of Sand, Salt, and other Chemicals
The city will use sand, salt, and other chemicals when there area hazardous ice or slippery
conditions. The city is concerned about the effect of such chemicals on the environment
and will limit its use for that reason.
8. Sidewalks
The city will maintain some of the sidewalks in the city. The list of those sidewalks is
attached. It is the responsibility of the resident and/or property owner to remove all
accumulated snow from all other sidewalks along public streets adjoining their property.
This includes any snow plowed from public streets onto the sidewalk.
76
9. Mailboxes
Coming into contact with a mailbox is a common obstacle snowplow operators face during
storm activities. The city will conduct a review of each mailbox incident to determine
whether the city will replace or provide reimbursement for the mailbox. Only mailboxes
actually hit by a snowplow will be the responsibility of the city. The city will not be
responsible for damage to mailboxes or support posts caused by snow or ice coming into
contact the mailbox. At the mailbox owner’s request, the city will replace the mailbox with
a standard size, non-decorative metal mailbox and replace the support post as necessary
with a 4”x 4”, decay resistant wood support post, both installed by the city. Alternatively,
the city will reimburse the mailbox owner $75.00 for the replacement of the mailbox and
post by others.
10. Landscape
The city will not repair/replace sod damaged due to the application of sand, salt or other
deicing chemicals.
The city will repair sod damaged by snow plow during snow removal operations with black
dirt and grass seed.
Property owners who install decorative materials in the right-of-way do so at their own risk.
Damage within the public right-of-ways is the responsibility of the property owner,
including but not limited to: trees, shrubs, bushes, landscape materials, decorative rock,
retaining walls, fences and irrigation systems.
11. Deviation From Policy
The Director of Public works or appointed representative may deviate from this policy when
in his or her judgment it is in the best interest of the city or is necessary because of budget
needs or other circumstances. Changes in priorities (lasting more the 4 hours ) will be
documented as to what caused such actions, why the change was necessary, and for how
long the change is to be in effect. Those city employees and/or contractors affected will be
notified immediately by radio or cell phone of such changes with all communications
logged. Information logged will include the time and date of the communication, name of
the employee contacted, and how they were contacted. Any changes of priorities lasting
more that 24 hours should be made in a written record and the public should be informed
of such changes through normal methods used by the city for emergency notifications.
12. Complaint Procedures
Complaints will be recorded on telephone logs. Calls requiring service will be transferred to
a work request and forwarded to the appropriate supervisor for scheduling. Emergency
complaints will be handled in an expeditious manner as resources are available.
77
13. Review and Modification of Policy
The Director of Public Works or appointed representative shall keep on file all comments
and complaints received regarding this policy. The policy will be reviewed periodically. Any
review will consider comments and complaints since the last review and any other factors
affecting the policy or its implementation.

45th Avenue from Main Street to University Avenue.
Main Thoroughfares: Quadrants
Four dump truck plows - each operator is assigned to a specific quadrant.
SW Quadrant. This area is from 37th Avenue to 45th Avenue (University Avenue
to Central Avenue). Plow main thoroughfares first. 40th Avenue, 44th Avenue, and 45th
Avenue (University Avenue, 45th to 42nd) and Jefferson Street. (40th Avenue to 45th
Avenue)
Note: We share the responsibility of plowing 37th Avenue from Stinson Boulevard to Main
Street with the City of Minneapolis. 37th Ave. is divided into two segments - (1) Main St.
to Central Ave. and (2) Central Ave. to Stinson Blvd. Per agreement, we alternate
segments each year. The agreement period is October 1st to October 1st. For 2013-2014
Columbia Heights maintains Main Street to Central Avenue.
NW Quadrant This area includes University Avenue to Central from 45th Avenue
to 53rd Avenue exclusive of the City of Hilltop. Again, this quadrant has five main
arterials to be plowed first, that being Jefferson Street; University Avenue Service Road;
49th Avenue, 51st Avenue and 53rd Avenue (Fridley plows 53rd Avenue, Columbia Heights
does ice control). The operator in this quadrant will start on the west end one time and
the east end another time in order to equalize the complaint of always being plowed last.
When the operator has finished plowing their own area, they will combine to finish
whatever area is not completed. Alternate starting points may be used each time.
SE Quadrant. This area includes 37th Avenue to 44th Avenue between Central
Avenue and Stinson Boulevard. This quadrant has seven main arterials to be plowed first
which include Reservoir Boulevard, 39th Avenue, 40th Avenue, Arthur Street, Hart
Boulevard, Stinson Boulevard, 37th Place, and Benjamin Street (43rd Avenue to 45th
Avenue). After the main arterial have been completed, plowing starts at Tyler Street from
37th Avenue N and then works avenues from 37th to 44th, then streets easterly to Stinson
Boulevard. When this has been accomplished, the plow will work the streets between
Central Avenue and Reservoir Boulevard. When the operator has finished plowing their
own area, they will combine to finish whatever area is not completed. Alternate starting
points may be used each time.
Note: We share the responsibility of plowing 37th Avenue from Stinson Boulevard to Main
Street with the City of Minneapolis. 37th Avenue is divided into two segments - (1) Main
Street to Central Avenue and (2) Central Avenue to Stinson Boulevard. Per agreement, we
alternate segments each year. The agreement period is October 1st to October 1st. For
2016-2017 Columbia Heights maintains 37th Avenue from Central Avenue to Stinson
Boulevard.
83
NE Quadrant: This area includes 44th to 51st Avenue from Central to Stinson. This
quadrant has main arterials to be plowed first which include 44th Avenue, Central Avenue
to Reservoir Boulevard; 45th Avenue, Central Avenue to 44th Avenue; 47th Avenue, Central

Reservoir Boulevard, 44th Avenue to Fillmore Street. We will either begin plowing
Mathaire Addition or Sheffield Addition, depending on the time of day and the number of
cars that could be in the Sheffield Addition. Whichever way, we will pick up the Hilltop
Addition, Innsbruck Addition and the Heritage Heights Addition. When the operator has
finished plowing their own area, they will combine to finish whatever area is not
completed. Alternate starting points may be used each time.
Thru-Alleys
The alley "V" plow is pushed by a dump truck. This plow usually starts on the west side of
town being California Street to University Avenue, 37th to 45th Avenue and works its way
east. Alternate starting points may be used each time. Equipment problems and weather
conditions may require the use of 4-wheel drive vehicles to clear alleys.
Dead-end Alleys and Cul-de-Sacs
The 4-wheel drive vehicle operators each receive a map showing all the cul-de-sacs, dead
end alleys, and hard-to-get at places. When operators have completed their own
designated areas, they will check with the other operators and will help each other finish
plowing where needed.
They may assist the "V" plow operator in finishing his alley routes if assigned by the
Superintendent. When alleys are finished, operators will clean intersections in their
assigned area.
Parking Lots
Plow route for #9 front-end loader:
1.Administration Building (590 40th Avenue), (559 Mill Street) and (555 Mill Street) lots.
Note: Remove snow from 40th Avenue curb line from alley east to Mill Street.

ICE CONTROL
When there is a potential for or accumulation of snow or ice, it is normally necessary to
perform ice control operations using salt or a salt/sand mixture. This function will proceed
under the discretion of the Public Works supervisor. This function begins with communication
between the Police Department, Public Works personnel, and Anoka County Central Dispatch,
in no special order.
The duty person organizes the ice control operation based on the Superintendent's standing
instructions. Main thoroughfares, emergency routes, controlled intersections, and hills are
given priority. Police reports of slippery conditions are also considered. Application is limited
on low volume streets and cul-de-sacs.
Salt sand will be furnished for residents in the designated area outside the Recycling Center
(3801 Madison Street).
SNOW REMOVAL
Certain actions and areas were designated by the City Council on January 11, 1982, and
amended from time to time, for services. These services are shown on the attached drawing
#1. They specifically point out services other than normal street plowing and ice control that
the City may perform depending upon the amount of snow accumulation.
When accumulated piles of snow in the business areas, around schools, and public buildings
indicate hazardous conditions, the Street Dept. begins loading and hauling to storage areas.
Snow is to be hauled for storage to 1) Huset Park East- Quincy Street parking lot, (Note:
restricted to daytime use) and 2) Huset Park East –Huset Parkway parking lot.

Snow Removal at Library
A. Parking Lot:
The Library parking lot will be cleared in accordance with the priorities established in this
policy. The lot will be cleared in conjunction with the other municipal lots after snow
plowing has been completed on the streets, Police and Fire areas and the pump and lift
station accesses.
B. Sidewalks:
During the work week, two members of the Sewer & Water Department will remove snow
and ice from the sidewalks and entrances to the Library before the Library opens and, if
necessary, in the afternoon. Note that there is a snow melting system for the sidewalk at
both entrances.
The weekend duty person will be responsible for clearing snow and ice from the sidewalks

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS - COUNCIL LETTER
ITEM: ADOPT RESOLUTION 2016-129 CERTIFYING AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF C OLUMBIA HEIGHTS TO
SUBMIT A WATER SUPPLY PLAN TO THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
DEPARTMENT: Public Works CITY MANAGER’S APPROVAL:
BY/DATE: Kevin Hansen / December 6, 2016 BY/DATE:
BACKGROUND: The Metropolitan Land Planning Act requires local governments to prepare comprehensive
plans and submit them to the Metropolitan Council to determine their consistency with metropolitan system
plans. One element of these plans must address municipal water systems. The third generation Water Supply
Plan included an update of our water supply system and an expanded water conservation plan to address
water demands through the year 2040 (focused on ground water). Minnesota Statute 103G.291 requires all
public water suppliers that serve more than 1,000 people to have a Water Supply Plan approved by the
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). See attached letter from the DNR dated October 1, 2015
detailing the submittal requirements for the City Water Supply Plan.
ANALYSIS/CONCLUSIONS: Staff has prepared an electronic template of the Columbia Heights’ Water Supply
Plan and will be submitting it to the DNR and Metropolitan Council by the due date of December 31, 2016.
The Water Supply Plan consists of four parts:
Part 1: Water supply system Inventory
Part 2: Emergency planning
Part 3: Conservation
Part 4: Metropolitan Land Planning Act requirements.
Part 1 provides detail on historic and current demand and supply and trends. This information is then used to
develop emergency response procedures and conservation planning in sections 2 and 3. Section 2 also defines
procedures for demand reduction during an emergency event. Section 3 includes regulatory and educational
measures intended to reduce the demand for water. Columbia Heights current consumption is well below
local and state averages per capita and peak demand.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of resolution 2016-129 authorizing the submittal of
the Columbia Heights Water Supply Plan to the DNR.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2016-129, there being ample
copies available to the public.
Move to adopt Resolution No. 2016-129, being a Resolution approving the Columbia Heights Water Supply
Plan – Water Emergency and Conservation Plan with submittal to the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources.

Every ten years, all public water suppliers in Minnesota that serve more than 1,000 people must have a
water supply plan approved by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). This requirement, in place
since the 1990s, is designed to encourage communities to deal proactively with providing sustainable water
supply for citizens, businesses and industry. For Metropolitan Area communities, a water supply plan is a
required element of their Community Local Comprehensive Plan.
The DNR provides a Water Supply Plan template. Electronic copies of the template along with other materials
for developing your plan are available at the DNR web site: www.mndnr.gov/watersupplyplans

•The plan includes stronger conservation measures to meet demand reduction requirements.
•When you submit your water supply plan to MPARS it will be forwarded to Metropolitan Council, as
appropriate.
•There will be workshops with neighboring water suppliers to discuss local water supply issues and
water conservation strategies. In 2015, 14 workshops will be held around the state between Oct 14
and Nov. 5th. Similar workshops will be held in the following two years.
•Watch for a separate invitation to these Water Supply Plan Workshops from your DNR hydrologists.
Plans can be submitted for approval prior to the due date. Please contact the DNR Area Hydrologist (see
attached list) if you have questions or concerns regarding the due date for your plan.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Carmelita Nelson at 651/259-5034 or your Area

ITEM: ADOPT RESOLUTION 2016-130 ESTABLISHING SENIOR CITIZENS OR RETIRED & DISABLED PERSONS
HARDSHIP SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DEFERRAL
DEPARTMENT: Public Works CITY MANAGER’S APPROVAL:
BY/DATE: Kevin Hansen / December 6, 2016 BY/DATE:
BACKGROUND:
In 1982 the City Council adopted a resolution allowing the deferral of assessments for senior citizens and
disabled persons. The resolution established eligibility criteria including a maximum income. The income level
is updated annually by resolution.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The attached resolution retains the criteria in the previous resolution and updates the income eligibility
amount of $33,300, the same dollar amount used for reduced rates for senior citizens utility bills. The current
income eligibility amount is $33,600.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2016-xx, there being ample copies
available to the public.
Move to adopt Resolution No. 2016-130, being a resolution establishing a new maximum income of $33,600

RESOLUTION NO. 2016-130
A resolution of the City Council for the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota,
WHEREAS, immediate payment of special assessments or installments on special assessments cast an
undue hardship on some persons owning homestead properties who are 65 years of age or older or
retired by virtue of a permanent and total disability for whom it would be a hardship to make
payments, and
Whereas, Minnesota Statutes 435.193 – 435.195 makes it possible for a home rule charter city to pass
a resolution establishing standards and guidelines for determining the existence of a hardship and for
determining the existence of a disability.
Now, therefore, in accordance with the foregoing, and all ordinances and regulations of the City of
Columbia Heights, the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1.This deferral procedure shall apply only to assessments which are payable in five or more
annual installments.
2.This deferral procedure shall apply only to property owned and occupied by the elderly, retired,
or disabled applicant. Ownership and occupancy must be the same nature as would qualify the
applicant for a homestead exemption for tax purposes.
3.This deferral procedure shall apply only to homestead property owned by a person 65 years of
age or older or retired by virtue of a permanent and total disability for whom it would be a
hardship to make payments. Permanent and total disability shall have the same definition for
purposes of assessment deferral as is used for social security purposes.
4.This deferral procedure shall not be construed as to prohibit the determination of hardship on
the basis of exceptional and unusual circumstances not covered by the standards and
guidelines herein so long as determination is made in a nondiscriminatory manner and does not
give the applicant an unreasonable preference or advantage over other applicants.
5.In order to obtain a deferral of an assessment, the homeowner must make application on the
forms prescribed by the City Clerk.
6.The option of the homeowner to defer the payment of special assessments shall terminate and
all amounts accumulated plus applicable interest shall become due and payable upon the
occurrence of any of the following events:
a.the death of the owner, provided that the spouse is not otherwise eligible for benefits
hereunder;
b.the sale, transfer or subdivision of the property or any part thereof;
c.if the property should for any reason lose its homestead status; or
d.if for any reason the City shall determine that there would be no hardship to require
immediate or partial payment.
97
7.No deferral may be granted unless the homeowner makes application to the City Clerk within
thirty (30) days after adoption of the assessment by the Council.
8.The deferral shall apply to only 50% of the annual installment payment. If the 50% is not paid in
a timely manner, the balance of the annual installment along with all future installments shall
become immediately due and payable.
9.No deferral shall be granted to any owner who has a gross annual household income from all
sources in excess of $33,600.
10.No deferral may be continued from year to year unless the owner shall file a renewal
application before September 15th of each year.
11.No special assessment may be deferred for a period longer than the time set by the Council as
the time over which the project is to be assessed.
12.Interest on deferred assessments shall be at the rate set by the Council in its resolution
adopting the assessment roll, and such interest shall be added to the amount deferred and shall
be paid in accordance with Minnesota Statute 435.195 and this Resolution.

ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS:
The current contract with Horwitz NS/I for the covered City facilities runs through December 31, 2016. Staff is
pleased with the quality of services provided by Horwitz NS/I and would recommend continuing with them for
the provision of Preventive Maintenance Services for the current buildings for another one-year extension,
under the same contract terms.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends continuing the contract for the provision of Preventive
Maintenance Services for current buildings, adding the new library, for a one year extension under the same
contract terms.

Preventative Maintenance Services for City facilities effective January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 at a
cost of $58,308, and to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a contract for the same.

MEETING DATE DECEMBER 12, 2016
CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS - COUNCIL LETTER
ITEM: EXTENSION OF GIS RANGE RIDER CONTRACT
DEPARTMENT: Public Works CITY MANAGER’S APPROVAL:
BY/DATE: Kevin Hansen / December 6, 2016 BY/DATE:
BACKGROUND:
In 1996 the City Council approved a Joint Powers Agreement (Tri-City Agreement) with the cities of Andover
and Fridley to hire an outside consultant to provide GIS technical assistance. The consulting firm of Plan Sight
was hired and performed work under the Tri-Cities Agreement beginning in 1997, reviewable annually. The
firm has evolved over the years and is now RE/SPEC, Inc. The agreement remains essentially the same. The
Consulting Services Agreement terminates annually on December 31 unless extended by further agreement of
the parties.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The cities of Andover, Fridley and Columbia Heights staff are interested in continuing the contract for 2017.
Continuing with RE/SPEC provides the continuity we need to keep the program moving forward. The City
benefits from work done under this contract as well as from the other cities.
The 2017 goals for the City of Columbia Heights are as follows:
•Import sanitary sewer televising records (video and logs)
•Enhance Tree Manager program (EAB)
•Conversion to mobile applications
•Update Sign Management program
•Incorporate Anoka County property data and GIS into Special Assessment program
•Provide assistance to Community Development Department
•Additional tasks as identified
Columbia Heights has reduced the number of consultant hours from 700 hours per year to 400 hours per year
(one day per week). City staff is able to prepare some of the routine maps, but still relies on RE/SPEC for
technical aspects of the program, including software maintenance and program updates. The software
includes ArcMap, Granite XP/Cues, Cityworks, Cartegraph, and Tree Manager. Columbia Heights’ share for the
2017 Tri-City GIS Range Rider is $22,218. RE/SPEC remains less expensive than other comparable consultants.
In addition, hourly rates are discounted for the Tri-City group. This amount is budgeted in various
departments of the 2017 Public Works budget.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to approve a one-year extension to the GIS Joint Powers Agreement in
the amount of $22,218; and, authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same.

DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS CITY MANAGER’S APPROVAL:
BY/DATE: KEVIN HANSEN/DECEMBER 8, 2016 BY/DATE:
BACKGROUND:
City staff has been in discussions with the Anoka County to develop a cost-sharing agreement for the concrete
street improvements on Innsbruck Parkway and Peninne Pass. These street sections are the boundary for
Kordiak Park, owned by Anoka County. The Concrete Street Rehabilitation program was completed and
assessed in 2014. A funding agreement is attached that defines the payment in lieu of assessment

ANALYSIS/CONCLUSIONS:
In summary, the agreement defines that:
1.The City of Columbia Heights has completed major rehabilitation on the concrete streets in Columbia
Heights bordering Kordiak Park.
2.The County requested the delay in processing until 2016.
3.The City of Columbia Heights will be responsible for billing Anoka County annually over a 10-year
period.
4.The County will pay Columbia Heights annually based on the original assessment of $85,717, plus
interest.
Interest has been added to the principal balance to account for the delay in payment from the time of the
original project assessments. The interest rate shall be the same as established by the Council at the time of
the assessment hearing.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Joint Powers Agreement for Anoka County for
the Concrete Street Rehabilitation Program.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to enter into a Joint Powers Agreement with Anoka County for funding
the County’s share of improvements on Innsbruck Parkway and Peninne Pass.

MEETING DATE DECEMBER 12, 2016
CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS - COUNCIL LETTER
ITEM: 2017 PROJECT AUTHORIZATIONS
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS CITY MANAGER’S APPROVAL:
BY/DATE: KEVIN HANSEN/DECEMBER 8, 2016 BY/DATE:
BACKGROUND:
In 2015 Anoka County staff informed City staff that the county road segment of 40th Avenue from Central
Avenue to Reservoir Boulevard was scheduled for a mill and overlay under their County Road Rehabilitation
program. This is the same program that has completed work on Reservoir Boulevard north of 40th Avenue,
49th Avenue east of Central Avenue, and on 40th Avenue from Central to University Avenues.
ANALYSIS/CONCLUSIONS:
Staff had asked the County to delay the work on 40th Avenue to allow for evaluation of city utilities.
Subsequently, the water main in this segment was cleaned and lined in 2016. An evaluation of the storm
sewer from Central Avenue to LaBelle Pond has detailed that the structures and storm lines are in poor
condition and need replacement. Additionally, this intersection is subject to flooding and can be improved by
additional storm sewer.
Another road segment in Columbia Heights that the County is considering in 2017 is Main Street north of 40th
Avenue. The water main from 40th to 42nd Avenues has experienced several water main breaks and should be
replaced prior to the road work in 2017.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to order the improvements and direct the City Engineer to prepare plans
and specifications for the utility rehabilitation of storm sewer on 40th Avenue east of Central Avenue and the
replacement of water main on Main Street between 40th and 42nd Avenues.

ITEM: RFP FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR REHABILITATION OF KEYES PARK
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS CITY MANAGER’S APPROVAL:
BY/DATE: KEVIN HANSEN/December 8, 2016 BY/DATE:
BACKGROUND: Since 2007, the Park & Recreation Commission has used a process of public input and review
to form a basis for the creation of Master Plans for the redevelopment of city parks. To date, Sullivan Lake
Park, Silver Lake Beach Park, Ramsdell Park, and LaBelle Park have all had Master Plans prepared. Based on
the completed Master Plans, construction plans and specification were prepared for each park.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: A similar master planning process has now been completed, considering
condition of the park and amenities, park features and unmet needs, past Commission and public
discussions/review, and uses. The Commission held an informational meeting for Keyes Park in April with two
Concept Plans presented and reviewed. Following that meeting, the concept plans were placed on the City
website and at the Library, The Commission reviewed all public comments at their May 2016 regular meeting
for a final recommendation to the City Council.
The Master Plan approved by the City Council on August 22nd includes the following elements:
1.Realigned athletic fields (2)
2.Introduction of a soccer field
3.Remodeling of the existing warming house
4.Adding a medium-sized picnic shelter to the warming house
5.New playground
6.Addition of a paved walking trail
7.An outdoor adult fitness area
8.Reconfigured parking lots
9.Rain gardens/infiltration basins for water quality
10.Site landscaping
11.Preserve sliding hill
In the 2017 Parks Capital Improvement budget, $350,000 was requested for the reconstruction of the park
based on elements of the Master Plan. To perform the work in 2017, plans and specifications will need to be
prepared in early 2017 to allow for bidding in the spring and summer construction.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Authorize staff to seek proposals for professional services for the rehabilitation
of Keyes Park based on the approved Master Plan.

ITEM: Second Reading of Ordinance 1637, Sale of City’s Vacant Asset Located at 820 40th Avenue NE
DEPARTMENT: Community Development CITY MANAGER’S APPROVAL:
BY/DATE: Keith M Dahl, December 6, 2016 BY/DATE:
BACKGROUND:
The City Council (Council) previously determined that the sale of the City’s Vacant Asset located at 820 40th
Avenue NE (Property) would directly result in revenue to City, annual operational cost savings, capital
improvement cost savings, and disposal of a vacant asset no longer used for a public purpose. Thus, Council
authorized CORE Commercial Real Estate (CORE) on March 28, 2016 to market and sell the Property for
$650,000. CORE prepared a Broker’s Opinion of Value and estimated, on an “As-Is” value base, the Property
will sell anywhere from $550,000 to $650,000; with expectations for the Property to sell towards the higher
end of that spectrum. Anoka County values the Property at $595,000.
On November 28, 2016 the Council approved the first reading of Ordinance 1637 with two minor changes
pertaining to the commercial purchase agreement as presented. Attached is the revised commercial purchase
agreement. The changes to the commercial purchase agreement are as followed with a strike as a deletion
and an underline as an addition:
3.DATE OF CLOSING. The date of closing shall be on or before ten days after the city of Columbia
Heights approval of this agreement January 30, 2017, see Exhibit B, by a Buyers Lender ("Closing
Date"), on which date Seller shall deliver a Quitclaim Deed X, for the Property and such other
documentation referred to at paragraph 8 hereof. The date of possession shall also be the date of
Closing.
6.PHYSICAL INSPECTION. Seller shall provide Buyer access to the Property at reasonable times
and with a minimum of 24-hour notice during regular business hours for the purpose of conducting
inspections thereof including mechanical, structural, electrical and other physical inspections. Buyer
has 10 days after execution date of this Agreement to complete such physical inspection. In addition,
Buyer shall, at his cost, have an architect determine whether Buyer can remodel this property. In the
event Buyer, in its sole discretion, is dissatisfied with such inspection, Buyer may cancel this Agreement
by written notice to Seller and in such event this Agreement shall be null and void and Earnest Money
shall be refunded. If the Buyer, in its sole discretion, does not cancel this Agreement by written notice
to Seller within 3 calendar days of the expiration of the above referenced physical inspection period,
then Earnest Money shall become non-refundable, the Earnest Money will be released from the Title
Company trust account to Seller, at Seller’s discretion.
For Council’s consideration this evening is the second reading of Ordinance 1637, an ordinance authorizing the
sale of the Property to the prospective buyer. If Council approves the second reading of Ordinance 1637, the
Mayor and the City Manager will be authorized to execute the sale of the Property.

ITEM: Transfer of Funds to Fire Department Budget
DEPARTMENT: Fire CITY MANAGER’S APPROVAL:
BY/DATE: Gary Gorman BY/DATE:
The Minnesota Board of Firefighter Training and Education (MBFTE) provide reimbursements of costs
associated with firefighter training and certification. The funds are appropriated by the State Legislature from
the Fire Safety Account and are dispersed through an application process. $7200.00 was reimbursed this year.
The Fire Department received reimbursement for supplies purchased from various sources. $1325.85 was
received in 2016.
Columbia Heights Fire is part of a County wide Fire Recruitment and Retention Grant from FEMA. The grant
will reimburse for costs associated with recruiting new firefighters and training them to minimum standards.
$7672.00 was reimbursed for personal protective equipment and medical exams.
Anoka County Emergency Management reimburses local governments for training activities and equipment.
$390.00 was reimbursed for training.
The State of Minnesota provides funding on an annual basis for volunteer firefighter pensions. The funding is
distributed to the City, which then passes it on to the Fire Department Volunteer Relief Association. This
funding is a budgeted item in the Fire budget but the amount changes each year. An adjustment is needed for
the Fire budget to match the amount received in 2016. A difference of $2868.41 above the budgeted amount
was distributed.
Total of reimbursements is $19,456.26
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the transfer of reimbursed funds from the General Fund to the Fire Department Budget

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS - COUNCIL LETTER
ITEM: A Preliminary and Final Plat for the property located 4400 Stinson Blvd. NE.
DEPARTMENT: Community Development CITY MANAGER’S APPROVAL:
BY/DATE: Elizabeth Holmbeck/December 8, 2016 BY/DATE:
BACKGROUND:
Thomas Brama (property owner) has requested a Preliminary and Final Plat for the property located at 4400
Stinson Boulevard NE. The site is currently comprised of two lots totaling 1.68 acres. The applicant is
proposing to re-plat the property resulting in 5 single family residential lots. Mr. Brama currently resides in the
existing home, on one of the proposed lots, and plans to construct four single family homes on the remaining
newly created lots.
Mr. Brama was first before the City Council this past September 2016. The proposal at that time was for the
property to be platted resulting in 7 lots. After much debate at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting
and City Council Meeting, the applicant proposed a plan for 6 lots. The City Council approved the plan for 6
lots on September 12th, 2016.
Since then, Mr. Brama has decided to change his proposed plat to 5 lots. The plan indicates there will be a
private road with an easement connecting the two back (westerly) lots to Stinson Boulevard. The proposed
plat meets the City’s requirements in terms of lot size and dimension. The newly created lots would exceed
the City’s minimum lot size of 8,400 sq. ft., with each being over 12, 000 sq. ft. The proposed plat is consistent
with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, which guides this area for low density residential development.
The proposed plat went before the Planning and Zoning Commission on December 6, 2016. At the meeting
there were two neighbors present that had concerns over the proposed development. Their main concern was
that the addition of new homes would change the neighborhood and that other property owners could
subdivide their lots too (See attached meeting minutes).
It is important to note, that the proposal meets the City’s requirements in order to subdivide a lot, and if
another property owner wishes to do the same, the parcel must be large enough to subdivide, and meet the
City’s Zoning Code Requirements. The Planning and Zoning Commission ultimately voted unanimously to
approve the proposed Preliminary and Final Plat, citing that the applicant had met the City’s requirements and
modified the plan to appease the City’s and neighbors’ concerns.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Preliminary and Final Plat for the property located at 4400
Stinson Blvd. NE.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
Motion: Move to close the public hearing and waive the reading of Resolution No. 2016-119, there being
ample copies available to the public.

At this time, Thomas Brama has requested a Preliminary and Final Plat for the property located

RE: Zoning Change for 3989 Central Ave NE
Dear Elizabeth and Joe,
500, LLC purchased the Northeast Business Center, located at 3989 Central Ave NE as a
foreclosed property. We are requesting the property be re-zoned to mixed use zoning.
Since our acquisition in late 2014 , we have been actively pursuing new tenancy. 3989 Central
is a unique building in Columbia Heights. At six stories high and over 100,000 SF, it is the
largest building in the central business district. The surrounding buildings are mostly one and
two story smaller structures with the focus predominantly on retail based businesses. A mixed
use would allow us to focus two smaller retail tenants on the main floor facing Central Ave,
Prodeo Academy in the rear of the building, taking up the less desirable middle floors, and then
allow the top 2 floors to be used for office users.
There are a couple of challenges we have faced in finding the right mix of tenants for this
building:
1. The current mechanical systems are expensive to operate and cannot be separated off to
accommodate small tenants. We therefore need to find a multi-floor tenant as the first
renovation in order to make it financially feasible to operate the building.
2. The building needs extensive updating. We need a large user as the first tenant in, an
organization that has stable financials and can sign a longer term lease, in order to make
the renovation investment feasible.
Currently, we have a large stable user in Prodeo Academy, a K-4th grade charter school. Their
goal is to grow to 8th grade and would take the back of the 1st floor as well as floors 2&3. They
will cap the school at 8th grade. I also have 3 potential retail users for the 2 spaces on the front
of the building, facing Central Ave. They would be the street facing tenants. I also have a
previous office tenant who sold their company and has now started up a similar company. They
are on an aggressive growth curve and the plan would be to move them to the top floors of this
building in about 18 months.
The building is set up perfectly for us to accommodate the different types of users and provide
adequate parking as well as secured, separate entrances. The front parking lot, just off Central,
would service the retail spaces. The retail spaces would be the featured street-facing tenants
utilizing the small monument sign that Northeast Bank used. We would also propose signage
over the windows on each side of the main entrance. A small medical office and an accountants
firm are the two preferred retail tenants I am working with currently. For the reasons
mentioned above, I am not able to lease the retail spaces without the presence of a large
tenant.
228
The school would use the area on the back of the building (where the old drive thru was) for their main entrance and drop off. They have limited school buses which would use the alley next to the drive thru. Traffic would come in on Gould and exit on 40th. With the MTC bus stop at Central and 40th, anyone using public transportation for the school would use the sidewalk on 40th and come in the main entrance of the school that is in the back. We propose transforming the patio above the old drive thru as the outdoor space for the school. This is consistent with the trend in schools occupying more urban spaces. The large office tenant we are working with is a Logistics company and rarely has clients on site. This tenant would use the parking ramp along with the teachers. Any additional office users would use the ramp for employee parking and the main entrance for clients. The larger monument sign on the corner would list all of the tenants in the building. As part of the renovation, the side retaining wall would be dealt with and new landscaping would be added to enhance the exterior façade. Additional information will be provided as requested. Thank you for your consideration, Nancy Aleksuk Project Manager 500, LLC 612-998-9123 (c)

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
PLANNING REPORT
CASE NUMBER: 2016-1203
DATE: November 10, 2016
TO: Columbia Heights Planning and Zoning Commission
APPLICANT: 500, LLC., Property Owner
DEVELOPMENT: Commercial Redevelopment
LOCATION: 3989 Central Avenue, 3889 Central Avenue, 950 40th Avenue
REQUEST: Zoning Amendment-Rezoning
PREPARED BY: Joe Hogeboom, Community Development Director
BACKGROUND
500 LLC., owner of the property at 3989 Central Avenue NE. has petitioned the City of Columbia
Heights to change the zoning designation of site from ‘Central Business’ to ‘Mixed Use’. This
change would accommodate the relocation of Prodeo Academy to the site. Prodeo Academy, a
kindergarten – fourth grade charter school currently located within First Lutheran Church,
would occupy a portion of the first and second floors, and the entire third floor, serving as an
anchor tenant in the building.
Nancy Aleksuk, representative of the owner, states that retail and commercial uses are
anticipated for the Central Avenue-facing portion of the first floor of the building, and that
commercial office users are anticipated to occupy upper-stories of the building. Aleksuk
anticipates bringing exterior renderings of the property before the Planning and Zoning
Commission in early 2017 as part of the official Site Plan approval process.

FINDINGS OF FACT
Section 9.104(F)(5) requires four findings of fact to be made when a zoning amendment
petition is made. The findings of fact are as follows:
(a) The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for “Commercial”. It has been repeatedly
demonstrated throughout the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area that mixed use zoning is
consistent with, and primarily comprised of, commercial development. In Columbia
Heights, mixed use zoning permits residential, commercial and institutional uses.
Currently, both commercial and residential uses are permitted on this property.
(b) The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a single
property owner.
The Northeast Business Center is the largest commercial building in Columbia Heights,
and serves as an anchor for our downtown area. The building is unique in that it is the
only multi-story, non-residential building along the Central Avenue corridor. Allowing a
mix of uses to facilitate occupancy and redevelopment of the building is in the public’s
interest.
(c) 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.
Unfortunately, the building is currently vacant and not in use. The proposed
redevelopment will include only uses that are permissible within the Mixed Use Zoning
District.
(d) 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 its
current zoning classification.
Increasingly, multi-story buildings are including a wide variety of users, including
educational institutions. In fact, an educational institution had occupied this building
(despite an inconsistency with the Central Business Zoning classification) in the past.

MEETING DATE DECEMBER 12, 2016
CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS - COUNCIL LETTER
ITEM: RESOLUTION 2016-132, ADOPTING A BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 2017, SETTING THE CITY LEVY, APPROVING THE
HRA LEVY, AND APPROVING A TAX RATE INCREASE.
DEPARTMENT: Finance CITY MANAGER’S APPROVAL:
BY/DATE: Joseph Kloiber/December 8, 2016 BY/DATE:
BACKGROUND: As required under the city charter, the city manager provided the city council with a proposed
2017 budget and tax levy at a regular council meeting in August. That document, available on the city’s
website, explains the proposed 2017 budget and tax levy with 127 pages of summary and detail information,
including comparisons to the current year and two prior years. This information was discussed and reviewed
at four council work sessions.
Through that discussion and review, the following three corrections to the proposed budget were identified:
1.To add the interfund activity related to new Huset Park splash pad
a.Increase the Water Fund revenue budget by $20,000 over the previous amount.
b.Increase the General Fund (parks) expense budget by $20,000 over the previous amount.
2.To correct the omission of a federal grant for certain firefighter labor
a.Increase the Public Safety Grant Fund revenue budget by $111,955 from the previous amount.
3.To remove a clerical error in estimated investment income
a.Decrease the Planning and Inspections Fund revenue budget by $5,000 from the previous
amount.
Apart from these corrections, the budget in the attached resolution 2016-132 is the same as the proposed
budget approved by the City Council at the September 12th, 2016, council meeting. As stated at that meeting,
the proposed 2017 increase to the gross property tax levy is 3.25%. However, the local taxpayers’ share of the
gross property tax levy will actually decrease (on average) for 2017. This is a result of the 2016 cut in the Area-
Wide Fiscal Disparities levy subsidy being mostly restored for 2017. That metro area subsidy is determined
annually by a formula in state statue.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The city manager and staff recommend approval of the 2017 budget and levy as
stated in the attached resolution.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2016-132, there being ample copies available to the
public.
MOTION: Move to close the public comment and adopt Resolution 2016-132, being a resolution adopting a
budget for the year 2017, setting the city levy, approving the HRA levy, and approving a tax rate increase.
