' 1 ' � ' REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 20� 1969 VISSTORS: Mr. Nils Nygards, 7435 Highway #65 N.E. PAGE 2 r�� r ��1 Mr. Nygards said that at the last Council Meetinq there was a motion made authorizing two hour parking on Fireside Drive, and asked that this action be explained. Councilman Sheridan said that he had received a request for this from a pro� perty owner, Mr. Peter Brooks. Mr, Nygards asked if there was anyone else. Councilman Sheridan said that there was also a request from a resident with�n the trailer park on the east side of Central Avenue. Mr Nygards said that he would like to state right now that there is never a car parked there, He said that he had lived in this City for 10 years and has lived in the trailer park and wondered why he did not get a call on this. He asYed what the reason for the acta.on was. Councilman Sheridan said that there have been some problems in the early mornings on this street. The Chief of Police added that the street was posted by them on the orders of the City Council. It was felt that there were people working at Onan�s and Edison's that were parking here. I-Ie said that when Mr. Nygards called him his reason for objecting is that he parks his truck in front at night and runs a cord for a heater to the truck. Councilman Samuelson pointed out that the Council has recently adopted an Ordinance which does not allow 24 hour parking on City streets� so he would be in violation anyhow. If parked longer than 24 hours a tag may be issued. There had been trouhle with cars paring in the street at night which creates problems with snow removal. Mr. Nygards asked if he could be tagged without notification. Council- man Samuelson said that the Council has the right to pass Ordinances and they are published and no individual notifications are necessary, The ChieE oP Police said that it was his understanding that moxe snow removal equipment wi11 be purchased and there wi11 be snow removal at night, In that case vehicles wi11 be removed. Mayor Kirkham said that sufficient time has been allowed and if there is more discussion needed, to see the City Manager about putting this item on the Agenda. Mr. William Meyer of Suburban Engineering representing Hirsch Brothers� Mr. Meyer presented drawings to the Council and said that there are proUlem5 with their parking 1ot at the intersection of Mississippi Way and Riverview Terrace. The City has requested and will receive an additional 10', The easement as laid out will restrict parking. The City Engineer said that Hirsch Brothers were ready to pave their parking lot and a slight change would not create any severe problem. They only need about 2' - 3'. He suggested giving them a triangle of about 5'. The City has not received the deed yet but will receive it when the land survey is filed. Mayor Kirkham said that he could foresee no ma7or di£ficulties with the slight change. MOTION by Councilman Samuelson to follow the recommendations of the Ctl-y Engineer for dedication of the westerly end of Mississippi Way less 5' of a triangular area to permit parking lot development. Seconded by Councilman � Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously. Councilman Liebl said that he noticed that the dirt is washing out on the south side of the street. He wondered if a retaining wall is needed. The City Engineer said that the boulevard work is not finished yet and there is still sloping le£t to do. i 1 �:i'I{ ✓ -� i, � �� REGULAR COUNCIL M�ETING OF OCTOBER 20� 1969 CONTINU�D PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 1970 BUDGET PAGE 3 Mayor Kirkham said that this is the continuation of the Public Hearing on the 1970 budget. The City Manager went to the screen and gave a presentation on the budget to the people with the help o£ visual aids. Councilman Harris said that he would like to take this moment to say that he felt that the City Manager has done an excellent job in preparing the 1970 budget. He has tried to keep pace with the growth and development of the cammunity. This budget is within the thinking of this Cauncil in trying to keep close to the same mill rate as last year, and it would have done so, had not the Legislation ruled that the pERA, Firemens`Relief Association and Police Pension Fund had to be brought up. It is impnrtant to try to keep the good personnel the City has now. The Department Heads agreed with the City Manager that some of the equipment could wait for purchase until next year to keep within the mill rate set, Councilman Samuelson added that this budget is an example of one of the best he has seen in recent years. In looking at the budget each item of expenditure is �ustified by the needs of the community, The City Manager said that hc had the fine help of the Finance Director. Councilman Liebi asked if the Policemens' Pension plan would be sound. The Crty Manager said that it is hoped so. It is not known what the full impact will be yet, but the more that is budgetted this year, the less it will be next year. Only thc actuaries will tell us exactly. Councilman Samuelson asked why the decrease in the Buildings and Grounds portion. The City PQanager sazd that this is because the Pire Station is now paid for. Councilman Samuelson said that this represents another asset to the City. MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to close the Public Hearing on the 1970 budqet. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Ka.r]<ham declared the motion carried unanimously. RESOLUTION #188-1969 - RESOLUTION CERTIFYING TAX LEVY TO COUNTY OF ANOKA FOR COLLECTIONS: FOR 1970 MOTION by Councilman Harris to adopt the budget and adopt Resolution #188�1969. Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon a voice vote� all voting aye� May�ox Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF VIEW AD➢ITION REZONING AND IMPROVEMENTS IN HYDE PARK AND CITY Councilman Sheridan said that as this has been before the Council £or some time, he would be ready to act on the matter tonight, and could see no reason for further delay_ He felt that the Traffic Circle F1ow pattern with the slip off should be installed There has been some concern by the people concerzling the improvement of the interior streets and these could wart until the scheduled date in 1974, unless they wanted them sooner. Councilman Harris said that recognizing Councilman 5heridan's comments, he would like to bring up an item of concern to him and some of the people in the area. He questioned what if some kind of a development plan were to qo zn that needed three or four lots at the south end of the block, then later, one at the north end of the block. They may gradually come together in the middle with the result that one 40' lot would be isolated and would then be valueless as a residential home and may not be of any value to any commercial enterprise either as it would be too small, He wondered how this type oP development could be controlled to keep this from happening. He pointed out that the people � ' , /,' ! ! i �1' RL�GULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 20� 1969 PAGE 4 � are to be assessed and there must Ue a benefrt, but if this srtuation should happen, there would be no benefit and would be a detrunent. He wondered if it would be possible to set out a minimum square footage for development such as 25,000 square feet. He suggested rewritting the zoning ordinance, or drawing up a new one to prevent this occurreace. Councilman Sheridan agreed that there should be some kind of protection and the development should be uniform. Councilman Harris said that it could come about that a home owner would be boxed in, has paid for his assessments, then would be unable to sell his home, Councilman Sheridan said that he did not feel that there would be any objection by the people to some kind of protection� although there may be from a de� velaper. Mayor Kirkham asked the City Attorney if he had seen any Ordinances from other communities such as this. The City Attorney said no, th�s would be under the concept of a non-conforming use. Even though the land may be rezoned to a different zoning, the people would have a right to continue the use for residential property. There is no way that an individual can be required to sell unless he wants to. If a developer were to come in and want to develop 6 or 8 lots, he did not feel that the Council would be wrthin their right to dis-allow the permit �ust because a.t would make adjacent land of less value, or would box it in, and the Council could not require him to try to purchase the additional one or two lots, He said that there may be some crties that have gone through this type of transition but he did not know of any off--hand. The City could try to pursuade a developer to pick up an additional one or two � lots, or may try to pursuade a home owner to sell but they would not have the authority to require it. The City Attorney said that if a minimum square footage were to be placed on a developer, this still would not assure that a lot would not be skipped over. Councilman Samuelson pointed out that Mrs. M. O'Bexg had suqgested rezoning to multiples at one time. This possibility was also studied by the Planning Commission. Mr Eldon Schmedeke said that they were not interested in rezoning to multiples, but wanted a commercial zoning. Councilmar� Harris said that he felt that this realm of thought should be researched Uy the City Attorney and the Administration. The City Attorney said that a minimum lot size could be written into a commercial ordinance 7ust as rt can be into a residential. It would then apply to any remaining land within the City, however. The City Engineer said that there is very littie C-2 left undeveloped within the City. The City Attorney said that this could then be another zoning classification. The City Engineer pointed out that then there would have to be a hearing for the Ordinance, then the hearings for Hyde Park rezoning would have to be held over again. Councilman Samuelson said that this may be true, but may prove to be more workable in the years to come. The City L�ngineer felt that it would be easier to work with each developer as they come in There is not much land, and there would have to be sideyard utilization for parka.ng as the lots are not very deep. The 35' setback is the minimum now for the zoning classa.fications. , Councilman Sheridan suggested that the first reading of the Ordinance could be held at this Meeta.ng, and then amended at the second. Councilman Harris said _ that he would rather not handle the problem this way. Councilman Sheridan £elt that as this has carzied on for some time, the Council should give some show of faith to the people. They need some indication from the Council that there is some progress being made. Councilman Harris felt that this may mean giving a first reading, then a complete change before the second reading. bT o-� �� ,! � �a � �. REGULAR COUNCSL MEETING OF OCTOBER 20� 196a PAGE S Counci2man Liebl said that this has been studied for about 4 years and he too would like some action taken. Aowever� he did feel that Councilman Harris' suggestion had merit. He said that he would like to see the area developed to C-2, but that there should be some minimum requirements. He said that he t��ould like to have the first reading and ask the City Administration and Attorney to look it over before the second reading. This area presents a special problem. The City Attorney suggested the City Engineer check to see if there is any commerczal area that is under 25,000 square feet within the City. He said that what the Counca.l has been talking about is very close to replatting. This would be no problem if the land was vacant, but it is with the many mortgage holders. He wondered if the Redevelopment Authority could be of any help. Councilman Samuelson asked that the City Engineer check out the minimum land requirements to see if tlte dra�ting of another Ordinance would hurt any other areas and report back at the next meetinq. MOTION by Councilman Samuelson to return this proposal back to the Adminis� tration to study draft oxdinances for the orderly development of commercial areas, and have the report ready for the Meeting of November 3, 1969. Seconded by Councilman Harris. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously. PIRST READING OF ORDINANCE POR VACATION SAV #69^08: (Country Kitchen Restaurant) D10TION by Councilman Harris to ap�rove the Ordinance on first reading and waive the reading, Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon a ro11 call vote� Liebl, Harris, Samuelson, Sheridan, and Kirkham voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously. PIRST READI�G OE ORDINANC� FOR VACATION SAV #69-09: (Country Kitchen Restaurant} MOTION by Councilman Harris to approve the Ordinance on first reading and waive the reading Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon a roll call vote, Lieb1, Harris, Samuelson, Sheridan, and Kirkham voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously. The City Engineer said that he would bring back the�e Ordinances for second readinq when the dedications for the easements are received. He said that the City Attorney has reported to him that the City can no longer retain easements, but must vacate 1and, then get an easement for utilities. RECESS Mayor Kirkham declared a recess from 9:10 to 9.25 P.M. CONSIDERATION OF A REOUEST FOR A DOUBLE BUNGALOW ON 57TH PLACE The City �ngineer explained that the applicant owns Lots 3, 4 and 5, B1ock 5� City View Addition. Lots 3& 4 are zoned for multiples and Lot 5�.s zoned for single family residence. FIe had asked the applicant if he could acquire part of Lot S then shift to the west. As his plans are now would leave Lot 5 unbuildable, although he is meeting the City Code with his plans �or the double bungalow. Councilman Samuelson asked why not rezane Lot 5. The City Engineer said that he tried but it was turned down, Councilman Liebl pointed out that people on both sides objected most vigorously at the Public � � , �� . REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 20� 1969 PAGE 6 � Hearing. It would take a variance to build two residential homes. The City Attorney suggested that he split Lots 3& 4 and build single homes. The City Engineer pmnted out that as he is meeting the City Code, he did not think the Council could stop him. It was pointed out that making Lot S unbuildable would perhaps mean that it would go tax forfeit. Mayor Kirkham suggested including Lot 5 on the building permit. The City Attorney said that to make this effective would probably have to have a resolution by the Council that Lot 5 is unbuildable, and it should then be filed with the Registrar of Deeds. Councilman Sheridan suggested granting a variance so that he could bua.ld part of the structure on Lot 5, then it could not go back for taxes, or the applicant would lose the structure. All three lots would then be on the title. MOTION by Councilman Harris to table consideration of this rtem to the Meeting of November 3, 1969. Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. IIpon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously. RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMI5SION MEETING OF OCTOBER 8, 1969: 1.

If the award is made, the contractor will have to be asked if he would mind holding up on the work for about 2 weeks until the negotiations are complete, then there wi11 be a change order necessary. P1r. Comstock, of Comstock and Davis, Inc., Consulting Engineers said that there were thr�e alt�rnates given, but the low bidder, D.M. Noyes only bid on the Alternate #3 which is for plastic pipe. The engineering estimate at the time of the Public Hearing was $233,100 and since that time there have been additions to the pro�ecL- amounting to about $25,000. It appears the low bidder would be within the estimate It was the feeling that there should be some alternates where it is known that the excavation area is quite difficult. There is a high water table in this area Councilman Harris asked if another kind of pipe rather than plastic should be considered Mr Comstock answered that he felt that the pipe would be all right although there is some disagreement Prom the �ngineering Department, who feel L-hat the cast iron would be better. There were no soil tests made, Council- man Samuelson said that he had some taken in this area and the soil was quite sandy. He said that he would like to try the plastic piping. The City Engineer pointed out that the ma7or portion of this area will be developed industrial and felt that the type of effluent should be considered. Councilman Samuelson asked what if after the soil tests are taken, it i^, felt that there � should be cast iron. P1r. Comstock said thai this would have to b� a field decision. Councilman Liebl felt that as it is an industrial area under con- sideration, he felt that this would be a foolish place to try the plastic pipe, when rt is not known how it wi11 last, Councilman Sheridan pointed out that if the low bidder would put in cast iron at the price of the second lowest bidder, it would still be wiLhin the estimate. P4r. Comstock pointed out that there are problems with the cast iron too. When there is a service connection to be made, it is more expensive to do. This is largely undeveloped land. The City blanager asked how much it would cost to make a soil analysis. Mr, Comstock guessed between $4,000 and $5,000, and pointed out that the soil wrthin the City changes about every 150'. MOTION by Councilman Samuclson to award the Water and Sewer Project #93 to D. M Noyes Construction Company in the amount of $235,098 according to the specifications. Seconded by Councilman I-Iarris. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously. The City Engineer asked if the Administration was to come back with a change order if it is found that cast iron is necessary. Councilman Samuelson said yes.

The City Engineer suggested that tlu s fact could be tahen into consideration at the time a building permrt is applied for. If I�ir.
