OPEN FORUM, VISITORS
Mr. Doug Os�eczanek, 101 Crown Road, raised a question on the ordinance con-
cerning ,7unk vehicles, He stated it was ridiculous to make someone buy a
license for a vehicle when they were in Germany serving with the Armed Forces
and the car is in the yard on blocks.
Councilman Schnetder stated he can sympathize with what Mr. Osieczanek is
saying, however, if a car is in a yard up on blocks and it is an eyesore, the
ordinance does give the City the right to have it removed.
Councilwoman Moses stated the concern was that vehicles ahouldn't be around
to create an eyesore for the neigh6orhood.
Mr. Osieczanek stated hts neighbor doesn't have any complaints a6out the vehicle
Mayor Nee explained Mr. Osieczanek has a camper behind his garage that he uses
for storage, but otherwise is operable, and he maintains this is not a,7unk
vehicle. He stated Mr. Osieczanek did not wish to put a l�cense plate on it.
Mr. Os�eczanek stated he would put a license plate on, but wouTd have to go
through all the processing with the State and put insurance on the vehicle.
Mr. Osieczanek stated he probably has one of the best looktng yards in the
City, however, when the ordinance was passed, Mr. Olson, the inspector, was
right at his door.
Councilman Schneider stated he didn't know the situatton with Mr. Os�eczanek
ar;d P�ir. Ulson, but would hate to create an exceptton to an ordinance which he
believes, if enforced properly, is beneficial to the entire City.
Mayor Nee stated apparently Mr. Osieczanek received a notice to abate in 14
days.
The other question raised by Mr. Osieczanek concerned his pheasants. He stated
a notice was received from Mr. Olson that he was too close to the lot line. He
explained both of his neighbors do not ob,7ect to the pheasants.
Mr. Qureshi, C�ty Manager, sug9ested additional facts and information be ob-
tained with a report back to the Council.
Mr. Osieczanek asked if he had to comply with the ordinance now as far as re-
moval of the truck
Mayor Nee stated he would ]ike to see staff's report and he would get back to
Mr. Os�eczanek on this matter.

ST. 1979-1 AND 2 STREET IMPROUEMENT
E AND MAIN STREET FROM 77TH TO 79TH
Mayor Nee re-opened this public hearing on the Easterly one-half of Ashton
Avenue and Main Street from 77th to 79th Avenues.
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated it was found a public hearing from the im-
provement pro�ect on Main Street from 77th to 79th Avenues was not held,
� therefore, it is recommended this not be assessed and the improvement paid
for out of funds for the City's overlay program.
In regard to Ashton Avenue, Mr. Qureshi stated the City has met with repre-
sentatives of the Burlington Northern Railroad, and the recommendation of the
City Attorney is that the hearing be held open on the issue of the assessment
of the easterly one-half of Ashton. He stated, hopefully, the issue with the
Burlington Northern can be resolved and construction completed within next
couple of months.
Mr. Brunsell, City Clerk, stated he would like the hearing closed for the
balance of the pro,7ect so that an assessment roll can be sent to the County.
He pointed out, if Ashton Avenue is completed, it wouldn't affect the pro-
perties on the West side, 6ut only the railroad property on the East side.
Mayor Nee pointed out the Council is considering whether or not the proposed
benefit, as submttted by the staff, is reasonable on the West side of Ashton.
Mr. Quresh�, City Manager, stated tf the Counc�l adopts the assessment roll,
it actually establ�shes the costs for the westerly s�de of Ashton and the
price residenttal properties in the area would pay for the improvement.
Mr Heron, representing the Burlington Northern Railroad, requested the
assessments be deferred until such time as the pro,7ect is completed. He
� stated, since the C�ty Attorney is meet�ng with representatives of Burizngton
Northern, it is hoped some agreement could be reached and the ent�re pro�ect
completed, and then assessed, according to the City policy.
Mayor Nee asked if he was proposing the west stde of Ashton not be assessed
at th�s time. Mr. Heron stated he is requesting that the ent�re Ashton Avenue
project not be assessed.
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to close the public hearing on the assessment
roll of a portton of ST. 1979-1 and 2 Street Improvement Pro,7ect (Main Street
from 77th to 79th Avenues), with the exceptton of the East s�de of Ashton
Avenue wh�ch is to remain open. Seconded by Councilwoman Moses. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carr�ed unanimously and the
public hearing closed at 8:20 p.m.

SI�ERATION OF UARIANCES REQUESTED BY NEDEGAARD CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, 4526 -
cTnrrT rnoi rn nnnnru c �n�n
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated since this request was tabled 6y the Council,
the applicant, Mr. Nedegaard, has obta�ned two additional feet of land which
would result tn a reduction of the side yard setback and lot square footage
variances.
E ) �u
REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 19, 1980 PAGE 3
The variances now requ�red would be a reduction in the lot area from 7,500 square
feet to 5,418 square feet, a front yard setback from 35 feet to 30 feet, side yard
setbacks from 10 feet to 6 feet and 13 feet to 12 feet, and floor area from 1,020
square feet to 960 square feet.
Mr. Qureshi stated the result is now two changes made from the original request
since the acquisition of the addit�onal property. He pointed out the neighboring
res�dents support the variance and elimination of the existing structure to re-
move an unattractive, unsanitary health hazard.
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to grant the var�ances, which are reduced from
the originai request, as foliows: (1) Reduce the iot area from 7,500 sq. feet to
5,418 sq. feet, (2) front yard setback from 35 feet to 30 feet, (3) side yard
setbacks from 10 to 6 feet and 13 to 12 feet, and (4) floor area from 1,02D sq.
feet to 960 sq. ft. for the reasons that there is an existing structure on the
lot which �s* an attract�ve nuisance and health hazard and that this new
structure would be compatible w�th other properties on the block hav�ng a lot
size of 4D feet and, further, the var�ance has not been ob�ected to by the ad-
,7acent residents. Seconded by Councilman Barnette. Upon a voice vote, all
vottng aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carrted unanimously.
ORDINANCE N0. 711 ON REZONING, ZOA r�80-01, ROBERT SCHROER:
MOTION by Councilwoman Moses to waive the second read�ng of Ordinance No 711

vo�ce vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
NEW BUSINESS:
CONSIDERATION OF USE OF COMMONS PARK FOR SOFTBALL TOURNAP4ENT - REQUEST BY BOB'S
PRODUCE P.ANCH TEAM:
Dr. Boudreau, Parks & Recreatton Director, stated the Council has authorized
four tournaments throughout the year using Ctty facilities and these have been
operated by non-profit organizations, however, only two organizations dec�ded
to host a tournament this year.
Dr. Boudreau stated a request was received by Mr. Larry Hartman, representing
the Bob's Produce Ranch Team, to host a tournament the weekend of August 9-10
at Commons Park. Since this has not been the City's policy in the past, the
request was submitted to the Parks and Recreation Commission for their consid-
eraiion and is now before the Council. Or. Boudreau stated if requests are
approved for individual teams to host tournaments, the City could conceiva6ly
have 103 other teams making a similar request and possibly put the City in a
posit�on to develop criteria on which teams would be able to sponsor a tourna-
ment.
Councilman Schneider questioned what arguments were made for having this tourna-
ment. Dr. Boudreau stated the question addressed by the Parks and Recreation
Commission was that only two tournaments were go�ng to 6e he]d thts year, in-
stead of the four, and since there were no ob,7ections, to grant approval of
the request on a"test" basis for a one year period. Th�s motion resulted in
a tie vote before the Parks and Recreation Commission, with 2 in favor and 2
opposed.
Dr. Boudreau

He felt this might be considered a negative point, but, on the
it mrght g�ve F�°idley an opportunity to be represented in a National
Councilman Barnette questioned the o6,7ections. Dr. Boudreau stated if the re-
quest �s approved, they would, in fact, set a precedent. He pointed out ind�vidua]
teams could apply to hold tournaments in the City and the City could face the
situation of having 103 different requests from teams to hold tournaments every
weekend He felt it has been the C�ty policy the weekends, at least, should be
open for res�dents to participate tn activities at these fields.

REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 19, 1980 PAGE 4
Counctlwoman Moses asked Dr Boudreau if it was his recommendation the request
be denied. He stated staff doesn't have a strong recommendat�on one way or the
other. He stated they are looking for a poltcy, as the past policy was only four
tournaments were held in the City in any one year and tndividual teams haven't been
allowed to host a tournament using City facilities.
Councilman Barnette asked if all costs would be borne 6y the sponsor. Dr. Boudreau
stated the City would have some cost in the use of the lights and equipment.
Councilman Fitzpatrick asked if it has been the policy in the past to have City
� personnel present at the tournaments. �r. Boudreau stated, according to the
Minnesota Recreation and Park Association, they have to pay in order to be
sanctioned and a member of the Association would become the tournament supervisor
He stated, in the past, they have requested anyone sponsoring a tournament obtain
an off-duty or regular pol�ce officer to be at the park.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, felt tf there has been a policy in the past for having
four tournaments, it could probably be handled by indicating preference would be
given first to civic, non-profit organizations and if there are not four tourna-
ments from these organizations, to allow some other sponsor.
Mayor Nee questioned �f many complaints were rece�ved on weekend tournaments.
�r. Boudreau stated he was sure Council is aware of the complaints rece�ved on
the use of the fi elds and park�ng problems and believed this was one of the
reasons they try to reduce, whenever possible, the use of that factl�ty.
Mayor Nee asked if he thought the proceeds from the tournament would be split
with the Park Department. �r. Boudreau explained there is a$100 deposit fee
and, generally, the sponsor has been very generous to make a donation of some
piece of equ�pment that would be put back into the facility. He stated this
team has indicationed they are willing to do �his, however, they have not been
approached on the question of splitttng the proceeds.
MOTION by Councilman Barnette to approve the request from Mr. Larry Hartman
for Bo6's Produce Team to sponsor a softball tournament, with the understanding
� that it is for one year only and a similar request next year would have to be
considered separately. Seconded by Covncilman Fitzpatrtck. Upon a vo�ce vote,
all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
ION OF A REQUEST FOR A 3-YEAR RENEWAL OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP #74-16
80 TO 6/26/83 TO OPERATE MOBILE HOME SALES, 7151 HIGHWAY N0. 65,
Mr. Flora, City Engineer, stated staff has reviewed this request and has no
ob�ection to a three year renewal of the special use permit
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to grant the renewal of special use permit,
SP #74-16, for a three year period. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrtck.
Mr. Harris, Chairman of the Planning Commission, stated the ordinance requ�res
that a special use permit goes throu9h the Planning Commission for a public
hearing. He requested an opinion from the City Attorney if a hearing was neces-
sary for the renewal.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, questioned if the permit had a termination date.
Mr. Flora stated it would expire on June 26 and it has been renewed since 1969.
Mr. Herrick stated �f there is an actual termination date on the present per-
mit, it probably should go through the public hearing process
Councilman Schneider withdrew his motion, with permission of his seconder,
� Councilman Fitzpatrtck.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to refer thts �tem to the Planning Commission for
recommendation. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice vote, all vot�ng
aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously

CONSIOERATION OF JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WITH ANOKA COUNTY REGARDING
LOCKE PARK:
Councilman Schneider stated the agreement does not contain the items recom-
mended by the Commission.
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated in�t�ally this item was discussed w�th the
Parks and Recreation Commission and they approved the agreement approach
with one dissenting vote.
Mr. Quresh� stated what is proposed in the agreement submitted ts the Ctty
would essent�ally maintarn control of the park and the County would take
care of the maintenance of the park because the rationale is that th�s
park is being used by others than just City residents.
He stated the original agreement was presented to City Council on April 11,
1980 and the nexi time it was presented, it incorporated all the recommenda-
tions of the Parks and Recreatton Commission made on April 3, 1980.
Mr. Qureshi stated hts feeling is the agreement now before the Council, as
shown on Pages 7J through 7Q of the agenda book, is probably the best the City
can hope for and he is not sure if the County could be enticed to accept thts
type of agreement.
Councilman Schneider asked a6out the Planning Commission's recommendation under
Sect�on III-A, �tems 1 through 4. He felt what the Commission is suggesting is
maintenance routinely so that there �s an actual schedule for the matntenance
and the agreement reads maintenance on a routine schedule.
Mr. Harris, Cha�rman of the Planning Comm�ssion, felt the way the agreement was
worded maintenance would be at the County's discretion and the Commission wanted
to insure that maintenance was done on a scheduled or set basis.
Mr. Quresh� stated he didn't have any problem with the Commission's recommenda- �
t�on to prov�de "maintenance i°outinely on a schedule", for items 1 and 2 under
Section III-A.
P1r. Harris stated the Commtssion's concern under item 4, Section III-A, was
that the County doesn't indiscriminately cut trees.
Mr. Quresh� stated staff felt it was more of a cooperative effort and what has
happened in the past is the C�ty marks trees for removal and the County then
removed the trees.
Mayor Nee asked if staff had any problem wiih the Comm�ss�on's recommendation on
item 4. Mr. Qureshi stated th�s could be changed to coincide withthe Planning
Commission's recommendation.
Mr. Quresht stated the Commission's recommendation to add an �tem 10 under Sectton
III-�, pertai m ng to an annual meeting, he felt, was covered under Section V,
Capwtra� Improvements which indicates the Cit� and County will meet periodically
to discuss and review the work and development plan. He explained, in order to
make any physical improvements, the County would need concurrence by the City.
Mayor Nee stated the Commission is saying to meet "annually" and staff is say-
ing to meet "periodically"
Mr. Harris stated the Commission felt they wanted at least one meeting a year ,
between the City and County to obtain an annual report on the condition and
progress of the park.
A �� �i
REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 19, 1980 PAGE 6
Mr. Qureshi felt th�s was more �n the admt m strative area of providing mainten-
ance. He stated when the County sets policies or has any development planned,
the agreement clearly provides they need approval of the Council. He felt this
shouldn't be in the agreement as it might tend to discourage the County to ap-
prove lt.
Councilman Schneider stated there are cost benefits to the City, if the County
approves the �oint powers agreement, but one of his concerns is �f they are re-
moving local fac�lities away from the residents of the City. He felt �f there
� are some checkpoints, it wou1d be possible to stt down and talk with them about
it. Mr. Qureshi felt if it was the destre of the Council and County to meet on
any issue, a meeting could be requested.
Councilman Schneider stated in back of hts m�nd is the questio:i if they want
to remove the facility, indirectly, from the people who may want to come to the
Council if there is a complaint or does the Council want them to go to the County.
Mr. Qureshi stated they would still come to the Council to express their needs
and concerns.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated there is the provis�on that thts agreement could
be discontined at any time if this doesn't work, and if it does, it would be
saving the City $50,D00 in maintenance costs for a park that is used greatly by
persons outside the City.
Mr. Qureshi felt the agreement is now at a level where it can be presented to
the County, recognizing there are no assurances they would accept it
Mr. Qureshi stated the recommendations of the Planning Commission re9arding the
maintenance and concurrence of the City's Tree Inspector regarding disease con-
trol programs could be incorporated into this agreement, 6ut didn't feel it was
necessary to include the recommendation regarding meeting w�th the County Board.
He felt maintenance does come under the control of staff, but Council would have
� control on approving any facilities that would be built on the park land.
Mr. Harr�s stated there was one other item that was discussed by the Planning
Commission re9arding item 5, Section III-A relating to the County paying utility
costs. He pointed out the City does have lighted ball diamonds and it wasn't
the Commission's intention the County pay for these lights.
Councilman Schneider stated he was w�lling to support this a9reement, but wanted
to air his concerns that he has some reservations, but could try it for a year.
Councilwoman Moses stated several persons have ment�oned they don't feel com-
fortable about going to Locke Park, unless they are with a group. She questioned
what patrol the park would have with this agreement.
Mr. Quresh� stated, hopefully, this agreement would prov�de some more patrol by
the County. Ne stated the City would continue the same level of patrol they now
have at the park, but if the agreement is approved, there would be assistance
from the County in that area.
MOTION by Councilman Barnette to approve the �oint powers agreement with the
following changes under Section III-A, �tems 1, 2 and 4. Unders Items 1 and 2,
the Planning Comm�ssion recommendation should be followed to provide "mainten-
ance routinely on a schedule" and in Item 4, the word "cooperation" should be
changed to "concurrence". Seconded by Counctlman Fitzpatrick. Upon a votce
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously

Councilman Fitzpatr�ck stated a request was not received for the improvement of
California Street, but there is a statement they are not interested.
Mr. Flora, City Eng�neer, stated a request was received t,o pave 41st Avenue and
th�s would ]eave only one residence without a paved area, therefore, staff added
this item since �t would be quite expensive to go back and complete at a later
date.
Mr. Qureshi stated �t was felt these persons should come to the hearin9 since
this is the only dTrt street left 7n the City.
Counctlman Fitzpatr�ck stated he had no ob�ection to considering this item,
however, he wanted to point out a request wasn't received for Caliform a
Street, 6ut rather a negat�ve response.
Councilwoman Moses asked when the request was made for the �mprovement of
81st Avenue from University to Ma�n Mr. Qureshi stated they have a request
from both Mr. Flanagan and Mr. Schroer who constitute 50% of the property
owners.
Mr. Qureshi stated he felt strongly the road should be completed to Rancher's

Mr. Lenhart, the operator of the Canterbury Pub, appeared before the Council

esta6lishment. Mr. Lenhart stated this was not true and he has two men hired

December 3 and April 7. Mr. Lenhart stated there were no convictions on April 7.
