Roll call: All ayes Councilmember Ruettimann inquired on what basis this franchise transfer can be denied. The cable counsel responded. One of the factors which was to be considered for approval of the transfer was addressed by Councilmember Nawrocki. He felt that all of the franchise requirements were not met by the original owners and are still not being met. Noting that the sale price more than doubles the value of the franchise, he concluded that the subscribers will see an increase in subscription rates. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 24, 1992 PAGE 5 Counci !member Nawrocki recalled that one of the original purposes of cable television was for access to information by subscribers. He has observed that informational programs have decreased in number and commercial programs have increased. With the anticipated increase in rates, many subscribers will probably become disenfranchised from having access to information. Councilmember Nawrocki commented that he feels the new owners of the franchise will be a plus.

The alley barricading was initially requested to deter vehicles which use it to by-pass the stop light on 4 7th and Central Avenues and to put in a play area for children. Adequate parking space for the adjoining apartment building was a concern.

The City Manager suggested this barricading could be done on a trial basis and that its workability be reviewed after a certain period of time. The Public Works Director stated there would be a chain put across the alley with reflectorized signs so it would be visible to motorists after dark.

Amendment, Ord.#1254 BY: Evelyn Nygaard....e-,._ BY�� Jj '- NO: 6. !,. DATE: Sept. 14,1992 The following is pertaining to Ordinance #1254, an Ordinance amending Ordinance #853, Columbia Heights Zoning Code pertaining to non-conforming lots. BACKROUND: 1002 Gould Avenue has a small non-conforming house on the rear of the lot. The owner is deceased and the family's executor approached HRA with a request that they purchase the property and raze the structure and then resell the lot. the lot is 40 feet wide by 128 feet deep for a tetal of 5,120 square feet of lot area. -This property is zoned R-3 which requires 10,000 square feet of lot area and a minimum lot width of 70 feet. (See attached memorandum from Gregg Woods.) This impacts more than 100 similar properties in the City. An amendment to the Zoning Ordinance would allow a single family house to be built/rebuilt on these lots. Stuart Anderson,_City Manager, requested Gregg Woods, City Attorney, to address this item at the August 4, 1992 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. The amendment to our standing "grandfather" clause will allow our existing platted 40 foot lots to have a single family dwelling built/rebuilt on them. It also removes the "nonconforming" status from more than 100 lots with homes already on them. This amendment would not allow the creation of a 40 foot lot, but merely addresses 40 foot lots currently platted. At the September 1, 1992 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, Ordinance 1254 was reviewed. The Commission unanimously recommends to the City Council the approval of Ordinance #1254 for first reading. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Ordinance #1254, there being ample copies available to the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to schedule the second reading of Ordinance #1254, being an Ordinance amending Ordinance #853, Columbia Heights Zoning Code, pertaining to non-conforming lots, for the September 28, 1992 City Council meeting. COUNCIL ACTION: TO: FROM: DATE: RE: \ 1 \9Fll ju\. File Gregg Woods July 14, 1992 MEMORANDUM 1002 Gould Avenue N.E. ISSUE c_ (._ � :?"' , �--- Whether an R-3 Zoned lot measuring 40 feet by 128 feet for a total of 5,120 square feet may be considered a buildable lot for a single family house. DISCUSSION R-3 Zoning requirements provide that lots meet certain minimumrequirements. Section 9.109(4). A few of these minimumrequirements are that the minimum lot width shall be 70 feet andthe minimum lot area shall be 10,,000 square feet. The lot inquestion does not meet either of these minimum requirements.First of all, the lot is only 40 feet wide and the total squarefootage of the lot is 5,120 square feet thereby failing to meetboth requirements. However, Section 9.104(4) does provide anexception to the minimum requirements. These exceptions onlyapply if the lot is a lot of record upon the effective date ofthe Columbia Heights zoning ordinance. The effective date of theordinance is August 12, 1974. We have a survey of the concernedproperty which is dated April 1974, therefore, I have assumedthat the property was a lot of record prior to the effective dateof the zoning ordinance. The exception to the buildable lot requirements is that "a lot may be utilized for a single family detached dwelling provided the measurements of such area, width Q!: open space, are within 60% of the requirements of this ordinance ••• " Neither the lot width nor the lot square footage is within 60% of the general buildable R-3 lot requirements found at Section 9.109(4). Consequently, this lot is not a buildable lot as it is presently zoned. mh cc: Don· Schneider ORDINANCE NO. 1254 BEING AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 853, COLUMBIA HEIGHTS ZONING CODE, PERTAINING TO NONCONFORMIKG LOTS The City of Columbia Heights doe� ordain: SECTION 1: Section 4 9.104(4) Section 4 9.104(4) Chapter 9, Article I, Section 4, 9.104(4), of Ordinance No. 853, Columbia Heights, which currently reads as follows, to wit: GENERAL PROVISIONS Lot Provisions A lot or lot of record shall be deemed a buildable lot provided it has frontage on a public right-ofway and said space requirements for the district in which it is located or adjusted to conform as follows: (a)A lot or lot of record upon the effective dateof this Ordinance which is in an "R" Districtand which does not meet the requirements ofthis Ordinance as to area or width, may beutilized for single family detached dwellingpurposes provided the measurements of sucharea, width or open space are within sixtypercent ( 60%) of the requirements of thisOrdinance; but said lot or parcel shall not bemore intensively developed.

I recently received your Public Hearing notice regarding the potential opening of a full-service restaurant where the former Carbone's Restaurant was located. I think a well-run restaurant and bar in this location would greatly enhance dining choices in this market. The only other dining options besides fast food in this area are Benjamin's Restaurant on 45th and Central Avenue or the Groun� Round on Central Avenue and 694. As indicated below, aany of our tenants desire a new full-service restaurant in the immediate area.

A.Public HearingCUP/Site PlanCase #9208-14 Stiles Sports Bars, Inc. RE: 4005 Central Avenue Columbia Heights, Mn. Evelyn Nygaard presented the request for a Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Approval to operate a restaurant with full liquor service at 4005 Central Avenue in the south end of the Columbia Heights Mall. The seating plan submitted indicates 196 seats which would require 65 parking spaces for patrons plus two or more spaces for staff dedicated to this occupancy based on Section 9.116(4) (u) of the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant, Daniel Stiles, submitted a letter from the operators of the Mall who have indicated they are seeking permission from the existing tenants in the Mall to allow them make a committment to dedicate this number of parking spaces to the Stiles Sports Bar. Ms. Nygaard also indicated that a major problem is the amount of square footage provided in the dining area. Section 5.503(10) (c) of the On Sale Liquor section of the License Ordinance requires a restaurant to provide a dining area, open to the general public, with a total minimum floor area of 3,000 square feet in order to obtain an On Sale Liquor license. The arrangement of serving areas on the seating plan shows a food serving area of 2,281 square feet. Dan Stiles, representing Stiles Sports Bars, Inc., requested that the Planning and Zoning Commission table his request until the next meeting to allow him time to redraw his floor plan to indicate the required 3,000 square feet of dining area and the detail of the kitchen facilities, to obtain the agreement from the Mall owners allotting the necessary parking spaces specifically to the restaurant use.

He also indicated that he would be required to have sales of at least 51% relating to food in order to obtain the lower insurance rate versus a higher rate for more liquor' sales. He informed the Commission that seating would be at tables seating approximately 175 people and the bar would accomodate 24 stools. Mr. Stiles encouraged the residents from the area to contact him personally if they ever have a problem with anything regarding the operation of the restaurant/bar.

The City Council directed the Traffic Commission to conduct a Public Hearing to install a stop sign in the alley between Jackson St. and Van Buren St. from 40th Ave. to 41st Ave. Motion by Carlson, seconded by Goodman, �o call a Public Hearing on October 5th at 7: 00 P .M. to install a stop sign stopping southbound traffic in the alley between Jackson St. and Van Buren St. from 40th Ave. to 41st Ave. Roll Call: All ayes. B.REQUEST TO INSTALL STOP SIGN ON JEFFERSON ST. N.E.,AT 42ND AVE. OR 43RD AVE. Residents on Jefferson St. have submitted a petition to install a stop sign to stop traffic on Jefferson St. either at 42nd Ave. or 43rd Ave. The concern is the high speed of traffic on Jefferson St. Speed and traffic counts were obtained on Jefferson St. The average speed on Jefferson St. between 42nd and 43rd was 28 MPH. 75% of the vehicles travel less than 30 MPH, 22% travel between 30 and 35 MPH, 2% travel between 35 and 40 MPH and 1% travel faster than 40 MPH. Guidelines for turning a 2-way stop into a 4-way stop were presented. One guideline is a 60-40 percent volume split. OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS COLUMBIA HEIGHTS TRAFFIC COMMISSION AUGUST 31, 1992 PAGE 2 Jefferson St. at 42nd Ave. and at 43rd Ave. have essentially equal traffic volume splits at 65-35. Although this is slightly lower than the guidelines, it does indicate a significant amount of traffic on both 42nd Ave. and 43rd Ave. Another guideline is that there are three or more correctable accidents in one year. There was one reported accident at 42nd Ave. in 1990 and one in 1992. At 43rd Ave., there were three reported accidents in 1990 and two thus far in 1992. Chief Mawhorter felt these accidents may have been correctable by a stop sign. Staff feels that a stop sign is justified at 43rd Ave. Motion by Gorecki, seconded by Goodman, to call a Public Hearing at the October 5th meeting to install a stop sign on Jefferson St. N.E. at 43rd Ave. Roll Call: All ayes. Those present at the meeting along with residents who live within 300' of the recommended stop sign location will be notified of the Public Hearing by mail. IV.OTHER OLD BUSINESS None V.NEW BUSINESS A.STOP SIGN AT 4TH ST. N.E. AND 52ND AVE. N.E. Commissioner Davitt requested a review be made ofstop signs in the area by his home. Staff provided previous minutes where a review ofstop signs in this area was made. CommissionerDavitt asked that no further action be taken. Thearea is really open and he didn't feel thatanything further needed to be done. ' OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS COLUMBIA HEIGHTS TRAFFIC COMMISSION AUGUST 31, 1992 PAGE 3 B."NO TRUCK PARKING" SIGN ON 40TH AVE. BETWEEN 6THST. AND 7TH ST. Commissioner Goodman requested "N-o Truck Parking"signs be installed near Dr. Wiberg's parking lot at535 -40th Ave. N .E. Currently there is "No Parking" west of the parking lot entrance. This area is designated as an MTC bus stop. There is 30' of parking space ava.ila_ble between the parking lot entrance and the alley to the east. No large trucks should be parking in this space. East of the alley is unrestricted parking. If a truck is parked there, it is almost 50' from the parking lot entrance. Staff feels this makes pulling out onto 40th Ave. from the parking lot, no different from any street along 40th. Commissioner Goodman feels that the surrounding terrain makes pulling onto 40th Ave. from the parking lot much more difficult. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to call a Public Hearing at the November 2nd meeting to install a "No Truck Parking" sign on 40th Ave. between 6th St. and 7th St. Roll Call: All ayes. In the meantime, staff will look at the feasibility of installing such a sign and report back at the October meeting.

The·proposal at thaftime was that HoneyweJJ would �nduet a -preliminary study of the City buildings' l=IV AC and lighting systems and m:ake ree-0mmendations to Teduce-·the consumption. oJ energy and operational costs. On"May 11, 1992-, the City Council passed a.resolution authorizing the� Mayor and City Manager to sign a letter authorizing Honeywell to conduct a preliminary evaiuation of our systems. The results of Honey,well!s evaluation and tecQmmendations are -proprietary and cannot·be used for other purposes. On September 3, 1992, Honeywell presented the results of their preliminary study to the City Council at a work sessipn. Th"e study indicated that by upgi:ading cetta,in,HVAC �d lighting, the City could save money ov ·�r seven years on energy and o_perations in excess of the money needed to pay for tb.e cost of the original improvement�. The presentation in'c]ud_ed a preliminary listing of improvements ta be made and was expande d to include the previously planned impro-vements at water pump station #2. flg.neywell's preliminaTy·proposal was presented with two options; The first was tliat the City pay the cost of the improvements and the second wa·s that Honeywell would pay for the improvements and lease them ta the C:ity ov.er the life bf the se,ven -year contract Honeywell's financial anal ys_is of the -proposals at the end of a seven-y�ar contract period are that under option #1 (Oity,-pays for imp.rQvemen.ts of appFaximately $723,000), th ·erewould be an estimated ·cost savings on e_nergy and ·opera'tiQns of $371,iJ,7 plus a depreciated value of the im,provemenfs 0f $571,170 for a total 9i $94.7,,407.

The intangible ben_efit:s f:ro.m the program include better working con.ditiens �d turnkey :maintenance service on the entire system exce,pt for interior bulb replacement.

� ORIGINATING DEPAR'IMENT IOLICE BY: David P. Mawhorter DATE: August 25, 1992 BY: DATE: The Police Department D.A.R.E. program has been operating for the past several years. It is well received by the school district and residents of Coh.nnbia Heights. The department has encotmtered some officer scheduling problems when the D.A.R.E. schooling is in session. Further, we have assigned Officer McGee, one of the three current D.A.R.E. officers to the police school liaison officer. I anticipate this new position will restrict his available time for D.A.R.E. instruction. Officer Bartlett, who is D.A.R.E. trained, and Officer Dietz, who is not D.A.R.E. trained, will be our c01IU11unity foot patrol officers in grid 8 and Hilltop. They will work closer than other officers with troubled youth in their neighborhoods and in school. These two officers are also more flexible in their D.A.R.E. assignments than are the general patr�l officers or investigators. For these reasons, I would like to send Officer Dietz for the two week D.A.R.E. training. The training is for two weeks and all trainees must stay on site at the Riverwood Conference Center in Albertville, Minnesota, except for weekends. There is no tuition or other related training costs; however, the department must pay $350for room and boa.rd. 110 REC01MENDED M:>TION: "Move and seco-},to authorize Officer Val Dietz to attend the D,A.R.E. training on November '1� to December 11, 1992, at the Riverwood.

(Drug Abuse Resistance Education) and inquiring about possible officer training. The Minnesota D.A.R.E. Training Center will utilize a rigorous selection process. Only full-time licensed police and peace officers, with two years of law enforcement ex perience, will be considered. Officers will be considered only from communities in which a signed agreement is in place between the school district and the law enforcement agency. Because of the demands and responsibilities required of a D.A.R.E. training officer, all candidates must successfully complete an oral interview process conducted by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension or its representatives. The oral interview may be done at the local level if specific minimal standards are met. The definition of this standard is enclosed. There will be no charge for the BCA oral interview. Once candidates have been selected for D.A.R.E. training by the BCA, there will be no tuition costs. Law enforcement agencies will be expected to pay its officer's salary during the two week training period, room and board, and transportation to and from the training site. Room and board costs will be approximately $350.00. All candidates will reside at the training site during the training program. Before a candidate will be considered for D.A.R.E. training, the following documents must be completed and forwarded to the BCA D.A.R.E. Office. -D.A.R.E. Program Application -D.A.R.E. Program Participation Agreement -a resume of the officer candidate(s) -a letter of recommendation from the local selection committee, if you are not utilizing the BCA 's selection process.

The Request states that the audit proposals should be returned to the attention of the Mayor, and sets September 14th at 11 :00 a.m. as the date and time for opening the proposals. 1993 BUDGET CALENDAR A proposed 1993 budget and levy must be certified to the County Auditor's Office on or before September 15th. A Council letter and draft resolution will be on the September 14th Council agenda. LIQUOR OPERATION Staff is continuing to pursue the opening of a third liquor store. A proposed lease is being drawn up. This lease includes an initial five-year term with two five-year options to renew, for a total of fifteen years. The rent for the first five years would be $3.65 psf (per square foot), the next five years would be $4.25 psf, and the last five years would be $5.50 psf. Operational Report September 8, 1992 Page Two PRTh1ARY ELECTION, SEPTEMBER 151H There will be a primary election on September 15th. All preparations for this election are going well, and it is anticipated that there will be no problems. ISSUES AND PROBLEMS: STAFF VACANCIES As of August 31st, all vacancies in the Finance Departtnent have been filled. Because of resignations and promotions within the Departtnent, the Finance Departtnent has been operating with vacancies ever since mid-April. This has created some problems ang some of the workload is running behind schedule. However, all major functions have been unimpaired by the vacancies. BURGLARY OF LIQUOR STORE #3 Some time during the late night of August 31 or early morning of September 1st, Liquor Store #3 at 53rd and University was burglarized. It did not appear that any merchandise was stolen from the store. Both doors were smashed in and the cash registers were thrown off the counters. Both cash drawers were stolen; however, no money was lost. Staff initially anticipated that the damage to the cash registers was significant because both registers were in pieces on the floor. Retail Data Systems, the company we purchased the cash registers from, was called and they were able to put both machines back together. After thoroughly testing the cash registers they determined there was no damage to either machine. This indicates a surprisingly high level of quality in the Casio registers that were purchased in December of 1991 and a quality service from Retail Data Systems. The damage to the cash registers received top priority and the service they performed to get the store back in operation was excellent.

WINSON, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER 11(,fs,c..l PROPOSED SKATEBOARDING PARK SEPTEMBER 1, 1992 The Park and Recreation Commission wish to-inform you and the City Council that the Commission does not support the construction of a City-sp·onsored skateboarding park. The Commission dedicated much time and effort to this proposal and feels it is not a venture which the Commission would support at this time. The Commission expressed the following points for their non-support of a City-sponsored skateboarding park: 1.Cost of construction -At this time of cutbacks and freezes inthe budget, the undertaking of this project would be difficultto justify. Staff has estimated that the minimum cost toconvert the existing Huset Park East tennis courts into aminimal skateboarding •facility is $15,000. To provide afacility with vertical differential and basic skateboardchallenges raises the cost to $35,000. In order to constructa facility that would be attractive to a large number ofskateboarders and would draw them to the park would require afacility costing in the range of $50,000-$60,000. 2.Cost of upkeep -Once the project is completed, the City wouldbe responsible for the annual maintenance. Depending on thetype of facility constructed, annual maintenance costs wouldrange from $1,000 to $10,000 per year. 3.Cost of staff -Qualified staff who should at a minimum betrained in First Aid and CPR would be needed during the hoursof operation. Administrative staff would have to dedicatetime to the issuing of annual passes, determining residenceand verifying release forms. Phone and/or radiocommunications would have to be available at the facility formedical emergencies. It is estimated that staff costs forthis facility would run $16,000 per year. If fees were usedto cover only staffing costs, 640 annual passes at $25 eachwould be needed. There is concern that there are probably notthat many skateboarders in the vicinity that would pay thisfee. ''\ Memorandum to Stuart W. Anderson September 1, 1992 Page 2 4.Liability -Research has shown that liability is not asignificant problem for a well-supervised and maintainedskateboard facility. Insur_ance costs could rise dramaticallyif a single major injury occurs or the number of minorinjuries rises. 5.Lack of interest -Several Commission members stated that theydidn't see the overwhelming interest that would warrant sucha project. There are several successful publicly-owned skateboard facilities in the nation. These facilities are generally located on the coasts, are located near large population centers, have a warmer climate and are in areas that draw a large number of tourists.

The intent is to reduce the total area of pavement and direct the surface runoff to the east side of the park where the detention pond will serve to improve the water quality of the runoff entering Silver Lake. The construction is intended to be done by City crews with an estimated cost of $45,000, of which approximately $25,000 -$30,000 is for the parking lot and $10,000 -$15,000 is for the drainage improvements. The area to be overlaid at McKenna Park would be the access drives and the small parking area at the park building. This is approximately 700 S.Y. with an anticipated cost of $2,500. It would appear that the budget request of $20,000 was in error. MAW: jb 92-529 �O: FROM: CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS STUART W. ANDERSON CITY MANAGER MARK A.

For comparison, the 1992 budget was $633,270, giving a levy of $5.43 on an $80,000 home and $7.91 on a $100,000 home. The proposed amendment of $800,000 for dredging of Locke Lake in Fridley would increase the levies to $14.43 for an $80,000 home and $21.02 for a $100,000 home for one year. There is some question as to whether the District would try to levy this additional amount in one year or spread the levy over several years. As I previously reported, there are 448 parcels in Columbia Heights that are within the Rice Creek Watershed District, 395 homestead, 7 commercial and 46 non-homestead or apartment.
