Present: Mayor Márquez Simula, Councilmembers Buesgens, Jacobs, Murzyn, Jr., and Novitsky
Also Present: Lenny Austin, Police Chief; Kelli Bourgeois, City Manager; Aaron Chirpich, Community
Development Director; David Cullen, Street/Park Superintendent; Mitch Forney, Community
Development Coordinator; Kevin Hansen, Public Works Director; Erik Johnston, Police Captain; Charlie
Thompson, Fire Chief; Nicole Tingley, City Clerk
Councilmember Kt Jacobs requested to add item 12 Clarification on Meetings.
WORK SESSION ITEMS
1. Discussion to Purchase Fire Truck/Loose Equipment
Fire Chief Thompson gave a presentation regarding the purchase of a custom fire engine.
He started off by listing the advantages and disadvantages of both commercial fire engines
and custom fire engines.
Next, Thompson stated that he would like to use the Houston-Galveston Area Purchasing
Consortium to purchase the custom fire engine. He noted that the consortium is compliant
with Minnesota State Statute and would reduce the purchasing timeline by approximately
2 months as it would not be required to seek bids.
Thompson explained his proposal for the fleet of Fire trucks. Thompson stated he propo sed
to keep the 1996 Fire Engine instead of replacing it. He noted that having three engines
would decrease the ISO number and provide needed transportation for firefighters.
Thompson stated that the price of the custom fire truck came in at $640,433 without loose
equipment. He explained that he wanted to keep the total cost with loose equipment
around $640,000. Therefore, he proposed including the loose equipment in the 2022 Fire
Department budget. The custom truck would not arrive until February 2022 so it would
work with the timing. He explained the discounts included in the price.
Mayor Márquez Simula asked about the timeline of purchasing the loose equipment,
examples of what the loose equipment included and the dollar amount. Thompson
5
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES January 04, 2021
City Council Work Session Page 2
anticipated placing the order in December with the items arriving the first week in
February 2022. He provided examples of loose items and prices including SCBAs, hoses,
nozzles, and a thermal imaging camera.
Councilmember Novitsky asked if insurance savings related to an ISO rating decrease would
be for homeowners or only businesses. Thompson replied that the savings for homeowners
would be insignificant compared to commercial by moving from a 4 to a 3 with having
three engines. He added that a rating of a 2 or 1 would provide more savings to
homeowners, but the requirements to achieve those ratings are cost prohibitive.
Mayor Márquez Simula asked what trucks the fire department has and if the new truck
would be replacing any of those. Thompson stated that the fire department has a 2015
general safety engine, a 1996 general safety engine, a 2005 ladder truck and SUVs. The
custom fire truck would not be replacing any of the current trucks.
Councilmembers Buesgens and Murzyn, Jr. commented with their support for this
purchase.
2. Hilltop Police Contract
Police Chief Austin stated that Captain Johnston worked with the City of Hilltop to draft the
new contract. Captain Johnston provided background information on how the contract was
drafted. He stated that the measure of number of calls for service caused an increase in the
contract amount which was of concern to the City of Hilltop. He explained that it was
negotiated to have Hilltop implement a more robust property maintenance code with
rental licensing to maintain a 4% increase for the next 3 years. The intent would be t o drive
down calls for service.
Councilmember Novitsky asked what the cost percentage increase for Hilltop would have
been solely based on calls for service. Johnston stated that it would have been closer to a
6-7% increase.
Mayor Márquez Simula asked if there was a timeframe for assessing if this approach is
working. Johnston stated that it is a three year contract. He added that he anticipates that
in the short term there will be a small increase in calls for service as applying the new
property maintenance code.
Councilmembers Buesgens and Murzyn, Jr. commented with their support.
3. Winter Parking
Public Works Director Hansen provided an overview of the current Snow and Ice Control
Policy. Topics included when public works starts their operations, the order of plowing
streets, snow removal, how employees are assigned, what equipment used, and which
sidewalks are maintained by the City.
Hansen shared survey data from cities near Columbia Heights on winter parking
regulations. He noted that many other cities start their operations at 2 inches of snow
6
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES January 04, 2021
City Council Work Session Page 3
(Columbia Heights starts at 3 inches) and have overnight parking bans.
Hansen explained how the department has transitioned its snow plowing operations from
being reactive to proactive and how they have increased communication on the parking
ban and snow operations.
Next, Police Chief Austin provided an overview on how the enforcement of winter parking
restrictions. Austin stated that every October, the police department distributes notice
flyers on cars that the winter parking restrictions will soon be in effect. He stated how the
police department divides the city into quadrants for enforcement and they make an effort
to cover the entire city each week. Austin noted that in regards to the winter parking stats
that he provided to the City Council that the number of vehicles towed is dependent on
how much snow, when it snows, and how long the snow lasts. He added that the police
department tries to not tow a lot of vehicles and that they make an effort to contact
residents.
Councilmember Jacobs inquired about references to 3.5 inches and 3 inches of snow.
Hansen clarified that the ordinance for enforcement is 3.5 inches and that public works
operations start at 3 inches.
Jacobs asked if there is a mechanism to determine adequate parking for rental units as that
seems to be an issue. Austin answered that under the property maintenance code that
landlords are required to provide adequate off-street parking. He commented that he has
seen for the most part, they do and the police department has found that sometimes it is
renters not utilizing the available off-street parking.
Jacobs suggested making videos for the public highlighting nuisance ordinances and having
articles in the newsletter.
Hansen invited the councilmembers to go on a ride-along. Bourgeois stated that city staff
have discussed making a video of snow plow operations for the public.
Councilmember Buesgens asked if vehicles are cited before they are towed and ticketing
during the holidays. Austin stated that tickets are placed before a vehicle is towed and that
the police department typically does not cite for winter parking a week or two during the
holidays.
Buesgens asked if there are more violations in certain parts of the City. Austin answered
that there generally are, but they would have to further look at the data. He added that the
focus of the police department is areas that are hard for plows to get through including
Circle Terrace and the 4500 block of Madison.
Buesgens commented that Columbia Heights has been recently designated by
Metropolitan Council has an Urban Center and that the comparisons made for winter
parking ordinances were against suburbs. She added that she did not want the ordinances
7
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES January 04, 2021
City Council Work Session Page 4
to change, but it needs to be brought to the attention of City Council. Hansen stated that
he looked at the websites of Richfield, West Saint Paul, South Saint Paul, and Hopkins and
that those cities start operations at 2 inches and that there is no street parking until streets
have been plowed curb to curb.
Councilmember Murzyn, Jr. encouraged the City Council to go on a ride-along in a
snowplow. He commented that the parking ban is important and that the road conditions
were terrible before it was in place.
Councilmember Novitsky commented that he would prefer having a parking ban over snow
emergencies because of the high towing costs for residents. Buesgens agreed and added
that the City should try and target areas with parking difficulties with information and
options including usage of the Fairview Ramp when available.
Street & Park Superintendent Cullen explained how if cars are parked directly across the
street from each other can cause snowplows not to be able to get through. Additionally,
even one car parked on a narrow street can block a snowplow. Cullen noted many of the
snowplow drivers are new and it takes a significant amount of time to get a new snowplow
truck if one were damaged.
Buesgens asked about allowing residents to ride-along in a snowplow. Bourgeois advised
against this for liability reasons noting that the members of the City Council are considered
employees. Bourgeois added that police ride-along programs have been vetted by the
League of Minnesota Cities and are smaller vehicles.
Bourgeois explained that the City acquired the Fairview parking ramp in a worse condition
than thought. She stated that it is close to being improved enough for the usage of paid
public parking. She stated that City staff will come up with a process and price for parking
permits for residents at the Fairview Ramp for the City Council to consider and anticipated
it would be for the second meeting in January.
Captain Johnston stated that the police department has been issuing more winter parking
permits, not because of more applications, but because of recognition of changing
demographics and parking demands.
Mayor Márquez Simula asked how to change the snow emergency threshold to 2 inches.
Hansen replied that he would like to bring it to the City Counci l for changes for next season.
Márquez Simula asked about using the park parking lots for overnight parking and snow
events. Johnston stated that it is currently not permitted to park in park parking lots after
11 pm. Hansen added that park parking lots are not high on the priority list in their policy.
He explained how it would be difficult as they would have to plow the lots first and make
sure cars could get out.
Márquez Simula suggested including odd/even side with the winter parking permits in
order to help avoid vehicle blockages for snowplows in the middle of the night. Johnston
8
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES January 04, 2021
City Council Work Session Page 5
replied that parking permits are void during a snow event and that if there are vehicle
blockages the vehicles are towed right away. Murzyn, Jr. commented that with having
odd/even side with the parking permits it may seem it is permitted to park on the street
overnight as long as it is on the right side.
Márquez Simula asked if Top Value 3 is plowed by the strip mall it is in. Cullen stated that
the City plows it and explained how all city buildings are plowed.
Márquez Simula inquired about the plowing of the sidewalk in front of Kordiak Park as
there was not anyone assigned from the County to plow it last year. Hansen replied that
the City is in contact with representatives from the County to address it.
Márquez Simula asked if the sand barrels around the city are for public use. Hansen stated
they are.
4. Review and Comparison of Tobacco Sales and Indoor Smoking Regulations
Community Development Director Chirpich stated that two recent citations for tobacco
sales to minors prompted these citations prompted a larger conversation regarding
tobacco sales and consumption regulation with the City. He stated that the City does not
specifically regulate sampling or indoor smoking in city ordinance.
Chirpich explained that the State of Minnesota prohibits indoor smoking, but allows for
sampling. He shared what the ordinances are from an analysis of 23 cities. Chirpich noted
that Columbia Heights is currently under state jurisdiction without city ordinances and
there has not been any state action.
Chirpich provided an overview of options as follows:
1. Prohibit indoor smoking and/or sampling in city ordinance and locally enforce
2. More clearly define sampling and locally enforce
3. No change
The City Council discussed the options.
Councilmember Buesgens asked if Hookah bars are included. Chirpich responded that they
are and there is one called Hookah Kingdom. Buesgens stated that she would like to
prohibit both indoor smoking and sampling.
Mayor Márquez Simula inquired what the affected businesses think about prohibiting
sampling. Chirpich responded that they have not asked the businesses specifically yet.
Chirpich explained that the Hookah Kingdom would not be able to have sampling, but
could still conduct sales. He added that more engagement is required for a tobacco
ordinance change than other ordinances.
Councilmember Novitsky stated that both indoor smoking and sampling should be
prohibited so it is easier to enforce and no distinction has to be made.
9
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES January 04, 2021
City Council Work Session Page 6
Márquez Simula agreed with Buesgens and Novitsky.
Councilmember Jacobs stated she preferred that there is not sampling. She added that her
second would be to prohibit seating and better define sampling and that her third choice
would be to have outdoor sampling only.
The City Council discussed outdoor sampling. It was clarified that outdoor sampling is not
covered in any of the other city codes.
Chirpich clarified the difference between tobacco sales licenses versus tobacco shop
licenses and noted there is not a license for sampling. He explained that the City’s past
approach has been to reduce the number of tobacco shop licenses when a business leaves.
Jacobs asked about the expiration on Hookah Kingdom’s tobacco sales license. Chirpich it is
an annual license and it was just renewed. Bourgeois stated that it is her understanding
that they are able to keep their license until the next renewal period even with ordinance
changes.
Márquez Simula asked for a list of tobacco shops, their license renewal dates, their track
record and history when this item is discussed next.
Councilmember Murzyn, Jr. inquired on what the police perspective on changing the
ordinance. Police Chief Austin stated that the goal of the police department is to have an
ordinance that is clear and enforceable.
5. Meeting Dates for City Council Orientation
City Manager Bourgeois confirmed the City Council Orientation dates and times. It will be
held Tuesday, January 12 and Wednesday, January 13 from 1:00 pm to 4:30 pm.

The City Council discussed the proposed list of liaison assignments provided by Mayor
Márquez Simula that were included in the Work Session packet. The City Council agreed
that the assignments as proposed should be on the agenda for the January 11 th meeting.
Councilmember Jacobs inquired if being the liaison for Metro Cities would include the
Metro Cities Racial Equity Committee previous Mayor Donna Schmitt was a part of.
Bourgeois stated that it is separate and that she would reach out to the Metro Cities
Director and ask about how the position would be replaced.
7. Discuss Appointments to Columbia Heights Volunteer Firefighters Relief Association
Board of Trustees for 2021
The City Council agreed that Councilmember Murzyn, Jr. and Kelli Bourgeois should be
appointed to the Columbia Heights Volunteer Firefighters Relief Association Board of
Trustees. Murzyn, Jr. and Bourgeois explained the role of the relief association does.
8. Board & Commission 2021 Appointment Process, Application & Interview Questions
Councilmember Novitsky asked to change the varying term lengths. The City Council had a
10
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES January 04, 2021
City Council Work Session Page 7
discussion provided direction to City staff in regards to making ordinance changes for
board and commission terms. The City Council agreed to a single term length for a ll boards
and commissions of 3 years. Additionally, the City Council agreed that there should be a
term limit of two consecutive terms unless there are no other applications. The City Council
clarified that they would like those who meet the two consecutive term limit on one
commission to be able to serve on a different commission.
Councilmember Buesgens suggested having attendance requirements for all boards and
commissions. The rest of City Council agreed.
The City Council discussed the application and interview questions.
Councilmember Jacobs suggested adding a question on the application regarding if an
individual was recommended by someone to apply. She clarified it was different than a
reference.
The City Council agreed to including the question “What are some of the most important
concerns or issues that you think the City will face in the next 5 -20 years?” to the interview
questions for all boards and commissions.
City Clerk Tingley asked what question the City Council would like to add to the Planning
Commission ones since the question regarding concerns or issues for the City is already
included. Tingley recommended “What is your opinion and understanding of the
Comprehensive Plan? How familiar are you with the Comprehensive Plan? What role do
you think it will play in the evaluation of a typical application which you will see as a
Planning Commissioner?” The City Council agreed to add that question.
Buesgens asked for job descriptions of the board and commission positions. Tingley
explained the information handout she put together on the commissions and stated she
could make it more detailed.
Mayor Márquez Simula suggested adding the question “How did you hear about this
position?”
Márquez Simula asked about including an optional section on the application for
demographics including age, race, gender, and renter or homeowner.
City Manager Bourgeois stated that it could be added and explained how the questionnaire
with demographics would need to be separated from the application so that demographics
would not be identifiable to an applicant.
Councilmembers Buesgens and Murzyn, Jr. inquired on why it should be asked and how it
would be helpful.
Councilmembers Novitsky and Jacobs stated that it would not reflect the data of the
applicants if it is optional.
11
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES January 04, 2021
City Council Work Session Page 8
Bourgeois stated that the data could be used anecdotally at the end of the process for
recruitment next time. She warned the City Council that applicants may have the
perception that the demographic questionnaires were not separated from the applications.
The City Council provided direction to ask to provide email addresses for references and to
contact references following the interviews.
Interview dates of March 8 and March 15 were determined to accommodate reference
checks.
9. Mayor's Monarch Pledge
Mayor Márquez Simula shared that she was going to work towards the Mayor’s Monarch
pledge. She noted that a lot of the requirements are things that the City is already doing.
She asked the City Council for feedback and noted she was thinking about a proclamation
in February.
Councilmember Jacobs suggested August for a proclamation as it is the month with the
highest number of monarchs. She also suggested a community education program in
August. Jacobs inquired what the costs would be for the Monarch Pledge.
Márquez Simula stated that she was only planning costs of staff time and signage to
gardens.
Jacobs inquired which action items the Mayor was planning on completing. Mayor
Márquez Simula replied the proclamations and the city gardens. She clarified she was going
to promote the existing gardens.
Councilmember Novitsky suggested showing Flight of the Monarch for a movie night.

Director Kloiber reported that the City is scheduling appointments to convert the
radio-and-meter head on approximately 300 commercial water meters. Installation is
going well, with approximately 18 changeouts per day. Although compliance by
commercial customers is generally very good, per his written report, staff judges that a
penalty will be increasingly necessary going forward as there are nonresident commercial
property owners from whom it can be difficult to obtain res ponses, most residential
meters have reached the end of their expected life and, at the City Council’s direction,
rarely is water shutoff used as an enforcement tool.
Motion by Councilmember Novitsky, seconded by Councilmember Murzyn, Jr., to waive the
reading of Resolution No. 2021-12, there being ample copies available to the public. A roll
call vote was taken. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0.

Councilmember Jacobs continued to volunteer weekly at SACA. She did a plow ride-along
with Public Works driver Janelle and acknowledged how helpful it was to gain her perspective
and also acknowledged Dave Cullen for his help in explaining the plowing processes being
used on City streets for snow and ice events “that put us ahead of surrounding communities”;
she cited how helpful it is when residents, as an example, place their trash bins in their
driveways rather than on the street; and offered “kudos” to all the drivers who are very
considerate and keep residents safe. She facilitated eight reach-outs from Community
members in the past two weeks and is excited to see everyone on Saturday at the

BUSINESS ITEMS
1. Designation of Official Depositories for the EDA – Resolution 2021-02
Chirpich stated that the EDA is required to designate by resolution the depositories used for its funds and
investments. The attached resolution follows the general format of resolutions passed in previous years by the
EDA and City. Most general banking transactions of the EDA and City are conducted through Northeast Bank.
Accounts are also maintained at Wells Fargo Bank of Minnesota, N.A. and U.S. Bank for certain specialized
services such as payroll and debt service payments.
The only material difference between this proposed resolution and the resolution adopted annually by the City
Council is that the EDA resolution allows for the EDA’s funds to be held in accounts under name of the City.
This has always been the EDA’s practice. Since the creation of the EDA in 1996, it has never had a separate
checking account under its own name. All EDA expenditures since its inception have been made using checks
drawn in the City’s name on behalf of the EDA.
Under this resolution, investment firms used for the pooled investments of the EDA and City must have an
office in the State of Minnesota, and all investments must comply with authorized investments as set forth in
Minnesota statutes.
Staff recommends maintaining these three banking relationships, as they meet the EDA’s current needs, and
provide capacity for addressing the EDA’s evolving needs for electronic banking services.
Questions/comments from members:
There weren’t any questions.

OTHER BUSINESS
Chirpich told members that the 3989 Central Ave project is on schedule. They are pouring footings and
the first section of wall was also poured today. He said that some contaminated soils were discovered at
the corner of 40th and Central that will require some correction. They also found some buried building
and old parking lot debris during their excavation of the site. The developer is responsible for any added
costs this may incur.
Chirpich told members that the City closed on the purchase of 1002 40th Avenue last week. He is
hoping that the purchase of 960 40th Avenue will be completed by the end of January. Doran will most
likely put a construction trailer on the property during construction. Currently they are using the Dairy
Queen for their construction office during the off season.
Jacobs asked about the status of the Westgate Assisted Living Project. Chirpich said they have recently
obtained the approval for their site plan and are hoping to submit the building plans for review so they
can begin construction this spring on the 29 unit Assisted Living building.
Reuter Walton is collaborating with SACA to see if they can partner in a joint project of apartments and
a new SACA facility behind the public safety building. He said the City supports the apartment project
with or without SACA’s final decision.
Chirpich updated members on the Fairview Clinic site at 40th and Central. He said the medical offices
have shut down, but they are still using the site for administrative office use. The discussion then moved
to the maintenance of the ramp which the City is now overseeing. Staff has had to have the elevator
serviced, repair the heating source, and deal with several graffiti attacks. They are working on getting
cameras on the top floor that will have a direct feed to the Police Dept to help curtail this activity.
Chirpich reviewed the Planning cases for the January 5th meeting. There was a brief discussion about
the amount of parking that will be needed for the request for the 700-704 40th Avenue case.
The next regular meeting is scheduled for Monday, February 1, 2021.

Motion by Hoium , seconded by Novitsky , to approve the minutes from the meeting of December 1, 2020. A
Roll Call vote was taken of the members. All ayes. MOTION PASSED.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
CASE NUMBER: 2021-0101
APPLICANT: JEFF ENGLER/MPLS SAW CO.
LOCATION: 831 40TH AVENUE NE
REQUEST: SITE PLAN APPROVAL
Chirpich explained that Minneapolis Saw Company has submitted plans for a proposed building addition to the
existing commercial structure. The expansion is needed to provide additional retail and shop space. The
proposed addition is a single level L-shaped design of 1,814 square feet. Section 9.104 (N) of the Zoning
Ordinance requires that all new plans for development other than one and two-family residences be reviewed
and approved by the Planning Commission before issuing of a building permit.
Zoning Ordinance
The subject property is located in the Central Business District, as are the south and east properties. The
properties located to the west and north are located in the R2B Zoning District. The use of the property is
permitted under the Central Business District as retail sales. The property meets all applicable setbacks for
the property under the Central Business District zone.
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for commercial uses. The proposal for a building addition with
commercial business intentions is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's goals and intent. This project
follows under the following goal of the Comprehensive Plan:
Goal: Promote the reinvestment of properties in commercial and industrial sectors.
26
Item 4.
Planning Commission Minutes
Page 2
January 5, 2021
Design Guidelines
The subject property is located within the Design Guideline Overlay District and is governed by the "Central
Avenue, Central Business District" standards. The Design Guidelines intend to make the City more
aesthetically appealing by requiring minimum standards for new construction along Central Avenue and 40th
Avenue.
The building is proposed to have stucco walls that will match/blend with the existing structure walls in col or in
texture with a flat roof on the new addition; the applicant is proposing two windows on the south elevation of
the building. The proposed addition will match the setback of the existing building. All the proposed changes
above meet the design guidelines.
Parking
City Code does not require off-street parking in the Central Business District Zoning. However, the site is
proposing two new parking spots on the eastern portion of the site providing a total of 19 on-site parking
spots. The parking stalls east of the building take direct access via a public alley. This is a legal non-conforming
condition that is grandfathered in and is acceptable to remain. All of the parking stalls meet the City
dimensional standards.
The applicant noted that the top floor had two residential u nits which include a one bedroom unit and a two
bedroom unit. The Central Business District does require that the applicant meet the residential parking
standard which will require one parking stall per bedroom. This standard requires three parking spots. This is
addressed as part of the total parking count.
Signs / Landscaping
There are no proposed changes to the landscaping or signage. The proposed addition meets the requirements
as required by the Design Guidelines.
Outdoor Storage
During the site inspection of the property outdoor storage was seen around the existing garage and staff
recommends the elimination of outdoor storage and that storage is limited to the existing garage and the new
addition storage.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Section 9.104 (N) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines four findings of fact that must be met in order for the City
to approve a Site Plan. They are as follows:
a. The Site Plan conforms to all applicable requirements of this article.
The applicable Zoning Code requirements have been met.
b. The Site Plan is consistent with the applicable provisions of the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for Commercial Use. The project is consistent with the City’s
goal to promote growth and reinvestment in the City’s commercial properties.
27
Item 4.
Planning Commission Minutes
Page 3
January 5, 2021
c. The Site Plan is consistent with any applicable area plan.
The use is a permitted use within the Central Business district. The building addition meets the zoning
requirements and Design Guidelines.
d. The Site Plan minimizes any adverse impacts on property in the immediate vicinity and the public right-
of-way.
The use of the property is a permitted use within the Central Business District zoning. The proposed
building addition enhances the building’s function and appearance. The investment in the building
addition adds value to the site and will not adversely impact adjoining properties.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the findings of this report, Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the Site
Plan for the proposed addition to the Minneapolis Saw Company located at 831 40th Ave NE, subject to
certain conditions of approval.
Questions/Comments from members:
Hoium noted the drive aisle between the garage and the corner of the building is 16 ft 10 in. he
questioned whether that was enough space, especially for an emergency vehicle. Chirpich stated it is
an unusual layout but a normal drive aisle is 12 feet. He told members that the Fi re Dept. had
reviewed the plan and they didn’t have any concerns about it. He said the building and garage were
accessible from various sides so this isn’t an issue.
Vargas noted there is an overhang on the garage which lessens the distance and that th e closest fire
hydrant is at the NW corner of the site. Again, Chirpich stated that the Fire Dept did not have any
issues about the plan.
Sahnow asked if the addition would trigger the need to bring the property into full compliance since
the parking/driveway is considered legal non-conforming at present. Chirpich explained that the non-
conforming aspect cannot be expanded, however the parking/drive access is not being altered, so it is
ok. He went on to state that the building itself is conforming, so the addition would be allowed.
Sahnow then questioned the exterior finish on the 40th Avenue side of the addition. He noted that the
proposal states that stucco or efface would be used, so the owner was asked which one they had
decided to use. The owner and his architect stated they planned on using efface. Sahnow stated that
efface was not an approved exterior finish per the Design Guidelines for the front of the building along
40th Avenue. He told members that stucco or stone would have to be used instead. Sahnow read the
excerpt from the Design Guidelines that addresses this. Efface can be used on the rear of the building,
just not on the front.
Fiorendino asked the owner and his architect to come to the podium. Dennis Fahedy, Architect, said it
would be difficult to match the current brick/stone look, so that is why they had planned on using the
efface material. However, he and the owner agreed that if there is an issue about using efface, they
can use stucco instead.

Public Hearing Opened.
There was no one present to speak on this matter.
Public Hearing Closed.

CASE NUMBER: 2021-0102
APPLICANT: AMRISH PATEL-ROCKY’S GYM
LOCATION: 700 40TH AVE
REQUEST: ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT & CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
Chirpich stated that Amrish Patel, on behalf of Rocky’s Gym, has requested approval of a Zoning Ordinance
Amendment and Conditional Use Permit to accommodate the establishment of a 24-hour “boutique gym”
upon a 9,375 square foot site located at 700 40th Avenue between Monroe and Quincy Streets.
The applicant plans to convert an existing 3,510 square foot building located on the site (which is presently
vacant) into a health/fitness club. In this regard, the use would occupy the entire building.
The site is bordered on the north by the Greater Life Church, on the south by Huset Park, on the east by a
commercial use and on the west by a single-family residential home.
The site is presently zoned LB, Limited Business which presently does not make an allowance for health or
fitness clubs. As a result, the approval of a Zoning Ordinance amendment to allow the use in the LB District (as
a conditional use) must precede action on the requested conditional use permit approval. Chirpich told
members that any change would be setting precedence for all LB zoned properties.
According to the applicant, the gym will focus on “one on one” training and small group classes with access to
cardio and weight machines. Gym members will be able to access the gym via a key fob with 24 -hour
surveillance. The applicant also anticipates the offering of some unique fitness classes including yoga in the
adjacent park.
The applicant expects a “higher end” clientele which relies on customer service rather than volume.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Comprehensive Plan guides the majority of the 40 th Avenue corridor, which includes the subject site, for
“transitional development.” In this regard, the Plan states the following:
Development in this area will focus on strengthening the residential character of 40th Avenue and allow
for opportunities of neighborhood retail/commercial activity (50% residential/50% commercial).
Commercial/retail development will consist of a mix of neighborhood service -oriented development and
varying densities of residential development. These uses will enhance the pedestrian scale and provide
connection between the two commercial areas. Streetscaping and amenities will be used to provide a
pedestrian focus and strengthen linkages between Central and University Avenues.
ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
The subject site is zoned LB, Limited Business. The purpose of the district is as follows:
To provide appropriate locations for limited retail sales and services for the convenience of
adjacent residential neighborhoods. These areas are located along collector or arterial
roadways in close proximity to residential neighborhoods, arranged and designed to be a
functional and harmonious part of the neighborhood, and accessible by public sidewalks or
trails as well as by roadways.
31
Item 4.
Planning Commission Minutes
Page 7
January 5, 2021
The applicant had originally requested a rezoning of the subject site to GB, General Business to accommodate
the proposed health/fitness club. Recognizing that the 40 th Avenue corridor includes numerous single family
residential uses and that the City’s Comprehensive Plan specifically directs only neighborhood service uses,
concern exists that the allowance of all uses allowed in the GB, General Business District could result in the
establishment of future uses which could create significant compatibility concerns (i.e., automobile repair,
carwashes, taprooms etc.). Further concern relates to the establishment of a spot zoning district which is
generally considered a poor planning practice.
To accommodate the proposed use, Staff recommends the processing of a Zoning Ordinance amendment
which would allow health and fitness clubs of a limited size within the LB, Limited Business District as a
conditional use. To align with the purpose of the LB District, it is specifically suggested that the following
conditions be imposed as part of conditional use permit processing: (Chirpich reviewed all the conditions)
1. The health/fitness club shall exhibit a gross floor area no greater than 4,000 square feet.
2. The use shall be served by a minor collector or higher classification roadway.
3. To the extent practical, new construction or additions to existing buildings shall be complementary and
compatible with the scale and character of the surroundings and exterior materials shall be compatible
with those used in the immediate neighborhood.
4. An appropriate transition area shall be provided between th e use and adjacent property by
landscaping, screening or other site improvements consistent with the character of the neighborhood.
5. The parking supply requirements of Section 9.105.L(10) shall be satisfied via off-street parking or a
combination of off-street parking and off-site parking. Off-site parking shall be located no more than
400 feet from the main entrance of the use being served.
6. The City Council may establish limited business hours as a means of ensuring compatibility with
surrounding uses.
A draft Zoning Ordinance amendment which would make an allowance for health/fitness clubs as a
conditional use in the City’s LB, Limited Business District was included in the agenda packet..
Chirpich again stated that approval of the Zoning Ordinance amendment should precede action on the
conditional use permit as approval of the amendment establishes the mechanism necessary to accommodate
the proposed use.
Questions/comments from members:
Fiorendino stated that right now this use is not allowed in the L B district. The City would need to approve this
amendment in order to allow it.
Hoium stated that community centers, recreational centers, and brew pubs are already approved uses, so he
doesn’t see any problem approving this.
Chirpich said it is already an approved use in other zoning districts, but not in this one. The LB district is
geared toward retail, office use, and service businesses.

Item 4.
Planning Commission Minutes
Page 8
January 5, 2021
Vargas stated he thinks this would be updating an old obsolete ordinance. He said times have changed and he
considers this a service business which is what we want in this zoning district.
Kaiser asked if Chirpich had any insght as to why this wasn’t included in the LB District before. Chirpich said he
didn’t know as the code was written before he started working for the City. Chirpich felt this type of business
would be compatible and doesn’t see it as a nuisance. He said the biggest issue is the parking requirements,
but he noted it is near the ramp and two churches so a joint agreement could be made to use their parking
lots.
Fiorendino asked the other members if anyone objected to this type of use.
Schill wanted clarification—Are we changing the zoning to General Business so it is a permitted use or are we
making an amendment to allow this use in a Limited Business District. Chirpich responded that this is allowing
Fitness Clubs into the LB classification with a CUP. Spot zoning would not be recommended.
Fiorendino stated that by approving the amendment that would require a CUP in order to operate in an LB
zoned property, each future request would be handled on a case by case basis. It does not be come a
“permitted use”.
The general consensus was they agreed to the amendment.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
1. Access
Primary access to the site is proposed from the north via 40th Avenue. A secondary access from the south via
an existing alley is also proposed.
To be noted is that the proposed access from 40th Avenue is a one-way route, a result of angled parking stalls
which are proposed along the western boundary of the site. Thus, business patrons will need to exit the site
via the alley to the south.
2. Off-Street Parking
Parking Supply. The submitted site plan illustrates a total of 14 off-street parking stalls. The Zoning
Ordinance does not include a specific off-street parking supply requirement for health/fitness clubs.
Rather, the Ordinance states that supply requirements are to be determined by Staff. So NAC Consultants
did an analysis and according to a reference document entitled Parking Generation by the Institute of
Transportation Engineers, a parking supply ratio of 5.9 spaces for each 1,000 gross square feet of floor
area is recommended. Using this standard, a total of 21 spaces would be required of the proposed gym
(5.9 x 3.51 gsf = 20.7 spaces). In this regard , a parking supply deficit of 7 spaces exists.
33
Item 4.
Planning Commission Minutes
Page 9
January 5, 2021
While plans exist to improve 40th Avenue and provide on-street parking opportunities at a future point, no
off-street parking spaces presently exist adjacent to the subject site.
To address the parking supply deficit issue, it is recommended that the applicant demonstrate an ability to
provide 21 off-street parking stalls should the need arise (as proof of parking). The Zoning Ordinance
makes an allowance for off-site parking for commercial uses provided such parking area is located no more
than 400 feet from the main entrance of the use being served. In this regard, it is recommended that the
applicant pursue an off-site parking agreement with the Greater Life Church located directly north of the
subject site. The City would require a written agreement be filed with Anoka County in order to
memorialize it.
Parking Area Setbacks. Within LB zoning districts, the following parking area setbacks are imposed:
Front Yard: 12 feet
Side Yard: 5 feet
Rear Yard 5 feet
Existing parking areas upon the subject site extend to all lot lines. In this regard, the existing parking area
is considered a legally non-conforming condition as it fails to meet the City’s current parking area setback
requirements. Staff made some adjustments to the owner’s proposal so that vehicles would enter off 40th
Avenue and park diagonally toward the building and then exit to the alley. This would eliminate less
headlight glare on the residential property to the west if parking were allowed facing the fence.
Parking Stall Dimensions. According to the Ordinance, parking stalls must measure not less than 9’ x 20’ in
size. While the proposed parking stalls illustrate the proper 9 -foot width, they are shown to measure only
18 feet in depth. In this regard, the illustrated stall depths should be increased t o 20 feet. To be
recognized is that with such change, a drive aisle width of only 12 feet will remain. While functional for
smaller and mid-size vehicles, such dimensions are expected to be problematic for larger vehicles such as
full-size pick-up trucks.
Disabled Parking. According to the American Disability Act, one accessible parking space must be provided
for parking facilities having 1 to 25 stalls. Therefore, as a condition of site plan approval, it is
recommended that one off-street parking space be provided and so designated for use by disabled
persons.
3. Business Hours
As previously indicated, the subject site is bordered on the west by a single-family home. Recognizing that the
applicant has proposed a 24-hour business operation, concern exists that nighttime activities could negatively
impact the adjacent single family residential use. Of specific concern is headlight glare and vehicle noise. etc.
In this regard, the Planning Commission should provide specific recommendation related to the a cceptability
of the proposed 24-hour business operation and the need to limit business hours. Chirpich told members he
had received feedback from two parties opposing the proposal. One was included in the agenda packet and
he read the other one to the members.

Item 4.
Planning Commission Minutes
Page 10
January 5, 2021
4. Landscaping / Screening
No new landscaping has been proposed upon this subject site. Considering that the entire site is hard -
surfaced, landscaping opportunities are extremely limited.
Presently, a fence exists along with west property line of the site to screen commercial activities from the
neighboring residential use. If the City determines that the proposed 24 -hour business operation is
acceptable, it is suggested that steps be taken to minimize impacts. In this regard, consideration should be
given to relocating the proposed angled parking stalls along the west façade of the building in a manner
similar to that illustrated below such that the parking area drive aisle is located alo ng the west property line
and vehicle headlights face east (rather than west).
5. Design Guidelines
The subject site lies within the 40th Avenue Design District of the City’s Design Guidelines. Considering that
the applicant intends to utilize an exist ing building with no physical exterior modifications, most of the design
recommendations of the Design Guidelines are not considered applicable.
Primary changes to the exterior are considered cosmetic in nature. In this regard, the following changes are
proposed:
35
Item 4.
Planning Commission Minutes
Page 11
January 5, 2021
Exterior color change to black
New wall signage
A mural on the west façade of the building
To be noted is that the Design Guidelines do provide recommendations related to building color. I n this
regard, the Design Guides state the following:
Building colors should accent, blend with, or complement surroundings. Principal building colors should
consist of subtle, neutral or muted colors with low reflectance (e.g., browns, grays, tans, dark or muted
greens, blues and reds). “Warmtoned” colors are encouraged because of their year-round appeal. No
more than two principal colors may be used on a façade or individual storefront. Bright or primary colors
should be used only as accents, occupying a maximum of 15 percent of building facades, except when
used in a mural or other public art.
As indicated above, the Design Guidelines suggest subtle, neutral or muted colors with low reflectance (e.g.,
browns, grays, tans, dark or muted greens, blues and reds). Further, the Guidelines make an allowance for
building murals such as that proposed by the applicant.
It is the opinion of Staff that the proposed building color (black) is “warm -toned” as referenced in the Design
Guidelines.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Section 9.104 (H) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines certain findings of fact that must be met in order for the
City to approve a conditional use permit. They are as follows:
(a) The use is one of the conditional uses listed for the zoning district in which th e property is located or
is a substantially similar use as determined by the Zoning Administrator.
Upon approval of the Zoning Ordinance amendment, the proposed use shall be considered a permitted
conditional use in the LB, Limited Business District.
(b) The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan.
With conditions imposed to endure compatibility, the use will be in harmony with the purpose of the
Comprehensive Plan.
(c) The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties.
With conditions imposed to ensure compatibility, the use will not impose hazards or disturbing
influences on neighboring properties.
(d) The use will not substantially diminish the use of property in the immediate vicinity.
The use will not substantially diminish the use of property in the immediate vicinity. 36

(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 use will be compatible with the appearance of the existing or intended character of the
surrounding area.
(f) The use and property upon which the use is located are adequately served by essential public
facilities and services.
The use and property upon which the use is located is adequately served by essential public facilities
and services.
(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.
Traffic generated by the proposed use is within the capabilities of 40 th Avenue which serves the subject
property.
(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 use will not have a negative cumulative effect upon uses in the immediate vicinity.
(i) The use complies with all other applicable regulations for the district in which it is located.
As a condition of conditional use permit approval, the use must comply with applicable Zoning
Ordinance regulations.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend the following to the City Council:
A. Approval of a Zoning Ordinance amendment which makes an allowance for health/fitness clubs
which do not exceed 4,000 square feet in size (gross floor area) as a conditional use in the City’s LB,
Limited Business District.
B. Approval of the Conditional Use Permit for property at 700 40th Avenue (PID 35-30-24-41-0147)
subject to certain conditions.
Questions/comments from members:
Fiorendino asked if the signage depicted on the drawing was the appropriate size. He said he thought
it looked large. Chirpich said the signage had not been analyzed yet, nor have any plans been
submitted. He said staff would make sure the signage is compliant if this moves forward.

Item 4.
Planning Commission Minutes

January 5, 2021
Hoium noted that the curb cut off 40th Avenue shown on the picture of the site would interfere with
the staff’s proposed parking plan along the side of the building. Chirpich stated staff would take
another look at that and a couple of the parking spaces may have to be moved back. Hoium sai d that
most of the customers would probably use the street parking along 40 th Avenue which could be a
problem for the residences to the west. Novitsky also was concerned this may be a problem. Chirpich
stated this is the primary problem for the LB District. He was asked whether a sign could be installed
designating the street as residential parking only. Chirpich stated that would be something that would
need to be addressed by Anoka County and the Traffic Commission.
Chirpich stated that the curb cut can’t be changed since this is on a County Road. He also said that
changes are planned for 40th Avenue to make it more pedestrian friendly which may restrict on street
parking.
Fiorendino asked if we can require a condition that they put up a sign directing customers to park in
the rear.
Sahnow favors staff’s parking plan and suggested a change to the rear parking. He also thinks the
fence on the west side needs replacing. He said it could possibly be more opaque and sturdy. He
asked if we could make it a condition to replace it. There was a discussion regarding this since the
fence possibly belongs to the homeowner to the west.
Fiorendino asked the other members if they had any issue with the business being open 24 hours.
Novitsky thought the hours should be restricted-not open all night since it is next to residential area.
Fiorendino agreed with that. Kaiser also agreed it should be restricted and close by midnight. He said
this district is all about compromise of blending businesses and residential use and this provides that.
Sahnow and Schill also agreed with this concept.
Hoium didn’t see a reason to restrict the hours. He didn’t feel many would access the facility during
the middle of the night anyways. Vargas agreed with Hoium.
Amrish and Jeri Patel (3721 2 ½ St) are the applicants. They responded to the members main concern
regarding parking. They expect that nearby residents will walk or bike to the facility. They are willing
to put up signs telling customers where they can park. The Patel’s said they spoke to church
representatives and will get an agreement in place. They are somewhat flexible with the 24 hours of
operation request. He explained there probably wouldn’t be many that use the facility late at night.
Mr Patel said they wouldn’t staff the facility at night—that members would use their key fob for access
and that security cameras would be in place. Mr Patel told members that he has not talked to the
neighbor yet, but he is willing to do so and to replace the fence if the neighbor would be ok with that.
He said he can’t see that noise would be an issue as most people use their own headphones while
working out so no loud music would be played. He said if issues arise being open 24 hours, they could
adjust that. Mr Patel asked if there are other gyms that are open 24 hours in Columbia Heights.
Chirpich said yes, but they are in different zoning districts. Fiorendino told the Patels that if they object
to the restricted hours, they should go to the City Council and make their case as they have the final
say in this matter.

Item 4.

Chirpich explained it is hard to come back and impose conditions on a CUP after it has been approved.
He told members the hours of operation have to be decided now, that we can’t change that later.
Vargas asked if we could add a condition that the CUP would be revoked if the Police a re called for a
specified number of calls. Chirpich said that may be difficult to enforce.
Sahnow wants to add a condition to upgrade the fence. Kaiser asked how we can do this as we
shouldn’t force the residential neighbor to upgrade the fence if it is theirs.
The consultant Planner, Bob Kirmis , stated it can be documented as a condition in a general manner
that they try to work together to make an improvement to the fence if both parties agree. This way it
is documented that the commission was concerned this may be an issue and that the subject was
discussed.
Public Hearing Opened.
No one was present to speak further on this matter.

RESOLUTION NO. 2021-XX
A Resolution of the City Council for the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota, approving a Conditional Use
Permit for a Health/Fitness Club not exceeding 4,000 square feet in area to be located at 700 40th Avenue
NE.
Whereas, a proposal (Case #2021-0102) has been submitted by Amrish Patel to the City Council requesting a
Conditional Use Permit from the City of Columbia Heights at the following site:
ADDRESS: 700 40th Avenue NE
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: On file at City Hall.
THE APPLICANT SEEKS THE FOLLOWING: A Conditional Use Permit per Code Section 9.110 (D) (3) (2) (t), to
allow a Health/Fitness Club not exceeding 4,000 square feet in area to be located in the Limited Business
Zoning District.
Whereas, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing as required by the City Zoning Code on
January 5, 2021;
Whereas, the City Council has considered the advice and recommendations of the Planning and Zoning

Hi Brandon, Pat and Gayle, and Jason,
Will you please look at the attached 3 documents and email me back stating you either approve or
disapprove of the proposal to install a street light in between Jason and Brandon's house across the
street from Jill and Tollefson's house.
I had discussed this with Brandon and Jason. I hadn't with Tollefsons.
The reason I pursued this is because I realized how dark it is on the street when I had those intruders in
my back and front yard, front steps, peeking in my window, and had I not called the police, maybe they
would have been in my house. I feel that light may make a very dark area more visible and safe on the
street.
When the one guy came back the second time that night, I observed him first hiding in the trees in
between Jason Jeske and Brandon Trampe's yard, before he kicked down my yard sign, ran through my
yard, and then came up my front steps.
I hope you will agree to this proposal and that I can continue to pursue it with the city. I need either
your yes or no acceptance of this. Then I need to forward it to the City. Can you send an email back
within the next few days?
Thank you.

BACKGROUND: At the City Council meeting of February 8, 2021, Council authorized staff to seek bids for the
projects listed below:
Zones 4B and 5 Street Rehabilitation Program and
State Aid Street Rehabilitation
Currently cash available from city inter-fund loans to fund the street construction is limited. For this reason,
there is a potential for bonding for these projects. The fact that bonding rates remain near their lowest point
in years makes bonding a very viable financing option.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To keep the potential bonding alternative open, a resolution declaring the intent
to bond should be approved by the City Council prior to awarding bids. This has been done for both Utility and
Street Rehabilitation construction projects since 1998. It shou ld be noted that the resolution does not commit
the City to bonding or the dollar amount stated, but keeps the option for bonding open in the future, up to the
dollar amount specified.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2021-14, there being ample copies available to the public.
MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 2021-14 being a resolution approving the declaration for the official
intent of the City of Columbia Heights to bond for the Zones 4B and 5 Street Rehabilitation Program - Project
2002, and State Aid Street Rehabilitation - Project 2005.

WATER MAIN
BACKGROUND: Columbia Heights has had a history of complaints of discolored water for many years at
various locations throughout the City. City staff has determined that the rusty water is caused by encrusted
iron scale deposits sloughing off the inside of the water ma in and into the water distribution system. To date,
the problem originates only in unlined cast iron pipe, which was common prior to installations in the early
1960’s. Although iron scale has a tendency to turn the color of the water yellow or light brown , it is not
known to be a health risk by federally regulated standards. City staff has taken many samples and continues to
test the drinking water to ensure compliance with State and Federal requirements. The problem in general is
called ‘tuberculation’ and results in restricted flows. In January of 2005, staff reported to the City Council
several techniques to address this problem and indicated that there are likely multiple areas of the
distribution system affected by tuberculation.
In 2005 the annual program of water main cleaning and lining under the City of Minneapolis Cleaning and
Lining Program was initiated. The process of Mechanical Cleaning and Lining involves shutting down a pipe
segment, cutting open and accessing (excavating and cutting open) the water main every 400 to 600 feet, and
pulling or pushing a mechanical cleaning device (sometimes called a ‘pig’) through the line to remove the
encrustation. Depending on the severity of the interior buildup, a water line may have to be “pigged”
repeatedly until the original interior diameter is restored. Since this process leaves the iron wall exposed,
lining the interior pipe is necessary to prevent water c ontact with the iron surface which would allow the
tuberculation process to start all over.
Minneapolis utilizes cement mortar lining by applying lean cement through a rotating head of a specific
diameter. As the lining machine moves through the pipe, it leaves a smooth troweled finish. The new lining of
the pipe provides a smooth interior wall resistant to mineral deposits and future tuberculation buildup. This is
a very cost effective solution next to complete pipe replacement, as street restoration is kept to a minimum.
A potential cost to the homeowner is the access and operability of the curb stop or water shut off valve at the
property line. Consistent with our City Code, it is the homeowner’s responsibility for the service line from the
main in the street to the house. At the direction of the City Council, repairs and replacements of water service
lines are publicly bid and those prices for repairs or replacements are extended to the homeowners if they so
57
Item 9.
City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2
choose. The inspection of the curb stops in the proposed program area is typically completed in the fall prior
to the next year’s work.
The newly lined pipe should provide another 40 or more years of service. Based upon the positive results and
project success of the past four years, staff conducted C-Factor testing on other known problem areas of the
water distribution system. C-Factor testing involves isolating water main segments, flowing water and
measuring pressures and flow rate. A C-Factor is then calculated which can be used to determine the amount
of tuberculation in-pipe. Another way to look at a C-Factor is as a measurement of resistance to flow in-pipe.
New pipe will have a C-Factor of 120-125. We would have expected the C-Factors in the areas tested (based
on age) to be in a range of 90-95. A general rule of thumb is values below a range of 70 -75 would indicate a
pipe in poor and tuberculated condition. The measured C -Factors in the 2015 proposed program area
measured from 20 to 52.
City staff has conducted a random survey following the completion of the projects with positive comments
received from the residents. Staff believes the program accomplished what was intended and eliminated the
discolored water problem and restored the original diameter(s) of the existing piping system. Additionally,
water quality complaints are now minimal.
Where water main segments have had a history of breaks, cleaning and lining is not an effective application
and pipe replacement is required. Public contact and information is very similar to how the clean and line
program is conducted, but the construction removal and replacement and the restoration of the street
significantly lengthens the project timeline.
Due to water main breaks, staff is recommending replacement for the next 3-year cycle at the locations shown
on the attached map.
SANITARY SEWER
BACKGROUND: Columbia Heights has over 60 miles of sanitary sewer main. Those mains are made up of
Vitrified Clay Pipe (VCP), Cast Iron Pipe (CIP), Polyvinyl Chloride Pipe (PVC) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
(ABS). The majority of sanitary sewer main is VCP with nearly 50 miles installed. VCP has a life expectancy of
60-75 years, and the mains in Columbia Heights were installed between 1927 and 1970. VCP, when laid
properly is a very good option for sanitary sewer mains. However, it can be brittle, joints can become weak
and issues can start to impede maintenance and routine flows. Tree root intrusion and inflow/infiltration are
common problems with VCP. As a result of these issues routine maintenance has been established to ensure
the proper operation of the sanitary sewer system. All mains are cleaned at a minimum every 3 years, and
much of the City is cleaned every year. Inspections of the sanitary sewers are continually ongoing, but not a ll
sewer lines have been inspected. As a result of the systematic and regular cleaning and inspection, the City
has seen a decrease in sanitary sewer backup complaints.
Many options exist for repair or replacing sanitary sewer mains. The easiest and mo st cost effective method is
to contract out the installation of Cured-In Place Pipe (CIPP), also called sewer lining. CIPP is comprised of a
resin impregnated felt liner that is installed using forced steam, or hot water. The heat of the steam/water
pushes the liner tight up against the existing pipe wall and activates the epoxy resin, curing it until it is as hard
and strong as PVC pipe. A lined pipe can be considered new and has a life expectancy of greater than 50
years. Through the continued installation of CIPP in the sanitary sewer system, the life of existing pipes can be
doubled and construction and maintenance costs can be low. Typically 8” CIPP installation cost is less than
$25.00/linear foot; a 300 foot segment of 8” main (typical in town) will cost less than $7,500 to line. 58
Item 9.
City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 3
Maintenance reports and inspection records are used to determine which pipes need to be repaired and
replaced on an annual basis. The structural condition of the sanitary sewer main is the largest contributing
factor in deciding which to repair, but root intrusion and inflow/infiltration also are considered. The pipes
identified for CIPP lining in 2021 have been inspected and found to have structural issues, and/or significant
amounts of root intrusion and inflow/infiltration. These repairs will help reduce required maintenance, the
cost of treating inflow/infiltration , and costly sanitary sewer backups. Similar issues have been identified in
the pipes scheduled for 2022 and 2023.
Due to the combined weighting of maintenance records and inspection reports, staff is recommending
replacement for the next 3-year cycle at the locations shown on the attached map.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
MOTION: Accept the 3-year program for years 2021 -2023 for the Water Main Replacement Program and
Sanitary Sewer Lining Program.

BACKGROUND: In the 2021 Public Works approved budget, the creation of a Master Plan for the Municipal
Service Center (MSC) was provided in Fund 411, Capital Government Buildings. The creation of a MSC Master
Plan will establish a plan for future operations and would provide a detailed analysis of the building structure
and components, a critical review of Public Works operations at the current site, a comparison of renovation
versus new construction, site layouts, cost estimates, and would involve:
o Data Collection and Review:
Review of available information from the City, including building plans, renovation
plans, reports and GIS data.
Conduct on-site review of Public Works Site. The Public Works Site is considered as two
physically separate areas: MSC Facility and Rear Lot.
Conduct an operation review of Public Works Site. Review how the buildings are used,
the adequacy of offices and meeting rooms, adequacy of storage space for equipment
and materials, how open space is used and how staff utilizes the space.
Meet with key staff for additional information/input on Public Works site operations,
uses and issues.
o Conduct a facility condition analysis: Based on the information available and on -site
investigation/review, provide a detailed analysis of the condition of the complete MSC Facilit y.
Items to include but not limited to are the roof system, HVAC system, electrical system, building
envelope, interior and exterior lighting, ADA, and mechanical equipment.
Cold storage buildings (2) – Based on the information available and on-site
investigation/review, provide a detailed analysis of the condition of the two cold storage
buildings. Items to include are the roof, all exterior walls and doors, interior floor, ADA,
and lighting. Include adequacy of storage of equipment and materials in each cold
storage building.

documentation and considering ‘Best Management Practices’. Include site layouts, cost
estimates, and recommendations.
o Include as an additional layout utilization of the SACA property located adjacent to the MSC on
38th Avenue.
o The parking lot located at the NE corner of the rear lot is currently leased out, lease expires in
2027. Include a narrative and layouts, if required, of the benefit to Public Works of utilizing this
space.
o Provide an evaluation of the closure and relocation of Madison Street from 37th to 38th
Avenues. A potential relocation would be moving it to a north-south alignment on the east
property line of the rear lot. Under any relocation scenario, 38th Avenue is to remain open and
accessible. Connecting 38th Avenue east to Quincy is not an option for consideration.
o Include a narrative addressing staging during renovation or construction for the recommended
option. How continuity is provided for Public Works operations during construction.
o Develop a detailed cost estimate based on the option.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
AGENDA SECTION PUBLIC HEARINGS
MEETING DATE FEBRUARY 8, 2021
ITEM: First Reading of Ordinance 1664, an Ordinance amending Chapter 3, Article 3 of the Columbia
Heights City Code Relating to Administration of Boards and Commissions and Removal of Inactive
Commissions.
DEPARTMENT: Administration BY/DATE: Nicole Tingley 2/3/21
CITY STRATEGY: (please indicate areas that apply by adding a bold “X” in front of the selected text below)
_Safe Community _Diverse, Welcoming “Small-Town” Feel
_Economic Strength _Excellent Housing/Neighborhoods
_Equity and Affordability _Strong Infrastructure/Public Services
_Opportunities for Play and Learning X Engaged, Multi-Generational, Multi-Cultural Population
BACKGROUND:
At the January Work Session, the City Council provided direction for City Staff to draft an ordinance changing
the term length for all boards and commissions to 3 years and to put in place a term limit of 2 consecutive
terms on a single board or commission. It was also suggested to add attendance requirements.
At the February Work Session, I presented a draft of an ordinance including the changes and also made other
amendments. These included more consistencies with the boards and commissions including removal from
office, officers, vacancies, oath of office, and residency requirements. I also reformatted the board and
commission section of the City Code to be easier to read. No change s were made to the function (authority
and duties) of the boards and commissions. Additionally, boards and commissions that are inactive and
anticipated to stay inactive were removed. All of the changes were with the exception of the EDA and HRA.
They are highly governed by State Statute and making changes would require a thorough legal review.
The City Council provided direction to bring the ordinance to the February 8 th City Council meeting for a first
reading with changes to the attendance requirements provided in the draft. That was to make the number of
allowable absences from 3 consecutive meetings to 2 meetings a year with maintaining a way to account for
family emergencies, illness etc. The ordinance now includes this and is reflected in 3.301 (D) and (E).
It was changed to make the absences not an automatic vacancy, but rather would prompt informing the City
Council. Action would have to be taken for removal. To help with administration so it is not forwarded to the
City Council month after month if it needs to be a leave, language was added to allow for that.
3.301 (F) was also changed from the work session draft to clarify that removal must be by a majority vote of
the City Council

BACKGROUND:
Bryan Behun, on behalf of the Behun Living Trust, has requested approval of a Minor Subdivision, per City
Code Section 9.104 (k), for the property located at 1209 43rd Avenue NE. The subject site is zoned R-2A, One

currently owns two adjoining parcels. One is vacant, and the other is occupied by a single-family home. The
applicant desires to sell both properties individually. To facilitate the sale of the properties, the applicant is
requesting a lot line adjustment to relocate the center dividing line of the two parcels, as the centerline
currently runs across the driveway of the single-family home. The lot line adjustment will result in two
compliant lots per the zoning standards for the district.

recommended that the Council approve the request for Minor Subdivision on a 5-0 vote, subject to the
following conditions:
1. Proposed easements and/or right-of-way dedication shall be subject to review and approval by the
City Engineer.
2. The applicant shall be responsible for the filing the approved subdivision with the Anoka County
Recorder’s Office. The approved minor subdivision shall become invalid if the subdivision is not
filed with the Anoka County recorder’s Office within one year of the date of City Council approval.

MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2021-17, there being ample copies available to the

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
PLANNING REPORT
CASE NUMBER: 2021-0201
DATE: February 2, 2021
TO: Columbia Heights Planning and Zoning Commission
APPLICANT: Bryan Behun (on behalf of the Behun Living Trust)
LOCATION: 1209 43rd Avenue NE
REQUEST: Minor Subdivision (Lot Line Adjustment)
PREPARED BY: Bob Kirmis, Consultant City Planner
INTRODUCTION
Bryan Behun, of behalf of the Behun Living Trust, has requested approval of a Minor
Subdivision, per City Code Section 9.104 (k), for property located at 1209 43rd Avenue NE.
The subject site is zoned R-2A, One and Two Family Residential and is surrounded on all sides by
similarly zoned properties.
The subject property (1209 43rd Avenue NE) overlays two abutting parcels of land, both of
which are owned by the applicant. The east parcel (PID 36-30-24-21-0123) measures 11,250
square feet in size and is presently occupied by a single-family home. The property is identified
as Parcel A on the received certificate of survey.
The west parcel (PID 36-30-24-21-0122) measures 10,800 square feet in size and is presently
vacant. The property is identified as Parcel B of the received certificate of survey.
The applicant wishes to split a nine-foot-wide portion of Parcel B and add the split portion
(1,305 square feet) to the abutting Parcel A to the east.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
Lot Requirements. In consideration of the minor subdivision application , a determination
should be made that the newly created lots meet the minimum lot area and width
requirements of the applicable R-2A zoning district.
Within R-2A Districts, a minimum lot area of 6,500 square feet is required. As a result of the
proposed lot line adjustment, Parcel B will be reduced in size from 10,800 square feet to 9,135
square feet. Conversely, Parcel B will be increased in size from 11,250 square feet to 12,180
127
Item 15.
City of Columbia Heights Planning and Zoning Commission February 2, 2021
Planning Report Page 2
square feet. In this regard, both lots meet t he minimum lot area requirements of the R-2A
zoning district.
According to Section 9.109.C of the Zoning Ordinance, lots within R-2A Districts must have a
minimum width of 60 feet. As shown on the submitted survey, Parcel A is proposed to be
increased in width from 75 feet to 84 feet while Parcel B is proposed to be reduced in width
from 72 feet to 63 feet. Both proposed lots meet the minimum lot width requirements of the
R-2A District.
Driveway Setback. As shown on the existing conditions survey, a driveway which serves the
existing home on Parcel A, overlays the shared lot line between the two parcels. Specifically, a
six-foot driveway encroachment exists upon Parcel B which is typically an undesirable
condition.
As a result of the proposed lot line adjustment, the existing driveway encroachment will be
eliminated. According to the proposed subdivision survey, a three-foot driveway setback is
proposed along the shared side lot line which meets the minimum parking area setback
requirements imposed in the R-2A zoning district. In this regard, the proposed lot line
adjustment is considered positive in that it will serve to rectify an existing nonconforming
setback condition.
Easements. The proposed subdivision survey calls for the creation of a 5-foot-wide drainage
and utility easement along the north property lines of Parcels A and B.
As a condition of minor subdivision appro val, proposed easements and/or right-of-way
dedication should be subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
Recording. As a condition of minor subdivision approval, the applicant will be responsible for
the filing the approved subdivision with the Anoka County Recorder’s Office.
If the minor subdivision is not filed with the Anoka County recorder’s Office within one year of
the date of City Council approval, it will become invalid.

The proposed subdivision will result in two conforming lots.
2. The proposed subdivision of land does not involve the vacation of existing easements.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
AGENDA SECTION ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
MEETING DATE FEBRUARY 8, 2021
ITEM: Approve the Classification of Tax Forfeit Property
DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Mitchell Forney, 2/4/21
CITY STRATEGY:
_Safe Community _Diverse, Welcoming “Small-Town” Feel
_Economic Strength X Excellent Housing/Neighborhoods
_Equity and Affordability _Strong Infrastructure/Public Services
_Opportunities for Play and Learning _Engaged, Multi-Generational, Multi-Cultural Population
BACKGROUND:
The property located at 1836 39th Avenue NE is currently going through the tax forfeiture process. As part of
the process, the Anoka County Board of Commissioners has passed Anoka County Resolution 2020-139
classifying certain forfeit lands throughout Anoka County as Non-Conservation. Non-Conservation
classification means that the properties will not be held by the State once the forfeiture process is complete.
Non-Conservation properties are typically sold at auction to the highest bidder. It is the City’s role during this
process to approve the classification and sale of the properties located within Columbia Heights.
As part of the tax forfeiture process, the City is given the opportunity to purchase the property before it is
openly sold to the public. Community Development staff do not believe that acquiring 1836 39th Avenue is in
the best interest of the City. The property is not a redevelopment priority and will likely be sold to an investor
and improved on the open market.
Resolution 2021-18 confirms the classification of the subject property and allows Anoka County to coordinate
the sale of the property with the State.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2021-18, there being ample copies available to the
public.
MOTION: Move to adopt resolution No. 2021-18, approving the classification and sale of a tax forfeit parcel
in the City of Columbia Heights, MN, legally described as: Lot 4, and the West 2 feet of Lot 3, Hart Lake
Manor, Anoka County, Minnesota.
