PRESENTATION:
1993 CITIZEN SURVEY:
Mr. Bill Morris, representing Decision Resources, Ltd. presented
the 1993 Citizen Survey to the Council. He stated that this survey
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 22 1994 PAGE 2
had two thrusts. The first was a mail-out sent to 3,400 residents
throughout the community, with 1,004 responses received. He stated
that a sub-sample of four hundred residents was used as a control
mechanism to measure the bias. He stated that follow-up phone
calls were made to these four hundred residents which provided an
85 percent response rate among this controlled group.
Mr. Morris stated that one of the differences noted between the
control group and mail-out group was that among the mail-out group,
older residents were more apt to respond than younger residents.
He stated that as a result, residents above the age of sixty tended
to be represented twice as much. He stated that in the under
thirty age group, ten percent responded to the mail-out, and
21 percent responded from the control group.
Mr. Morris stated that the longer a resident has been in the
community, the more likely he or she is to respond to the survey.
He stated that for those living in Fridley over fifteen years,
65 percent responded to the mail-out, and 58 percent responded from
the control group. He stated that a bias was expected towards
women responding. That was not the case, however as the ratio was
42 to 47 percent.
Mr. Morris stated that the survey provides responses for both the
mail-out group and control group; however, he would focus on the
control group during this presentation. He stated that the survey
was broken down into areas of concern.
Mr. Morris stated that the first part of the aurvey concerned
recreational activities and Springbrook Nature Center. He stated
that overall responses in terms of adequacy and variety of sports
offerings, fees, and information were extraordinary. He stated
that ninety percent were satisfied with Springbrook Nature Center,
and the overall ranking for recreational activities was 88 percent
satisfaction and only twelve percent dissatisfaction. He stated
that this is in line with the suburban norms across the
metropolitan area.
Mr. Morris stated that the next question dealt with the City's
water and sewer system. He stated that 66 percent felt the water
was free of discoloration, and over ninety percent had no sewer
backups or had a satisfactory resolution to backups.
Mr. Morris stated that in regard to the streets, the ranking was
very high with over eighty percent satisfaction. He stated that
one negative was snow and ice removal where 23 percent indicated
they were not satisfied with this service. He stated that the
eighteen percent dissatisfaction with pot holes is below the forty
percent norm across the metropolitan area.
Mr. Morris stated that questions were raised regarding parks
including.maintenance, sufficient picnic areas, parking, athletic
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 22 1994 PAGE 3
fields and playground equipment. He stated that the overall rating
was in excess of ninety percent satisfaction; however, fifteen
percent voiced some concern about parking.
Mr. Morris stated that in the area of community development,
building inspection had a satisfaction rate of 87 percent. He
stated that two areas of concern were the weeds and trash
violations and zoning compliance. He stated that over one-third
of the community was dissatisfied with what the City has done in
these areas.
Mr. Morris stated that in regard to public safety, nineteen percent
felt the police were not aZways courteous. He stated that this
response came from the younger age group. He stated that police
and fire response times were over 95 percent with a solid showing
with respect to public safety services.
Mr. Morris stated that in reviewing the concerns and attitudes
regarding public safety, twelve percent had used the 911 emergency
response. He stated that there were no unreported fires, and about
half of those surveyed had observed park police. He stated that
there was a feeling among residents that neighborhood crime was
increasing, and 48 parcent felt a need to increase neighborhood
patrolling. He stated that there was less concern with enforcement
of speed limits.
Mr. Morris stated that a question was asked relating to the impact
of park police. Half of those surveyed had not observed them, with
45 percent not sure if they were having.an impact, and 51 percent
felt they were having a great deal of impact.
Mr. Morris stated that the issue regarding the City's responsive-
ness indicated that 74 percent were satisfied and 26 percent were
dissatisfied. He stated that 33 percent felt they did not have a
say on how things were run in the City. He stated that the norm
is 25 percent. This also tended to be age related.
Mr. Morris stated that on the use of tax money by the City, the
results were very positive. He stated that 34 percent had no idea
on how the money was spent, and 61 percent stated tax money was
always or mostly spent wisely.
Mr. Morris stated that in regard to recreational priorities,
63 percent felt Springbrook Nature Center programs were important;
45 percent favored the senior programs; and 87 percent the
playground programs.
Mr. Morris stated that in water and sewer system priorities, one
hundred percent felt no water discoloration or sewer backups were
very important. He stated that street priorities ranged from
95 percent to 100 percent.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 22 1994 PAGE 4
Mr. Morris stated that park priorities lean towards good
maintenance and playground equipment.
Mr. Morris stated that in regard to community development
priorities, building inspection was at the ninety percent level,
and enforcement of the weed and zoning ordinances ranged from
86 percent� to 88 percent. He stated that the collection of
recyclables had a 91 percent priority.
Mr. Morris stated that in the area of public safety priorities,
safety is the key factor. He stated that police courtesy was very
important to the residents.
Mr. Morris stated that 93 percent of residents in single family
homes felt the appearance of their neighborhood was good compared
to those residing in duplexes and apartments where there was a
range of 21 percent to 27 percent dissatisfaction with the
appearance. He stated that only one percent agree that their own
home is not in good shape.
Mr. Morris stated that over ninety percent of the residents felt
safe in their homes. He stated that only ten percent felt their
own neighborhood was not safe.
Mr. Morris stated that 95 percent of the respondents felt there
were sufficient parks, and that there were very little problems
with the bike/walkways and street lights.
Mr. Morris stated that a number of issues were addressed in
potential capital improvements and services. He stated that in
some cases residents were very favorable. In other cases, they
felt they were not important. He stated that in regard to a
recreational/community center, 52 percent felt it was important.
He stated that seventy percent felt a supervised teen center was
important, and 68 percent felt gym space was important. He stated
that 54 percent favored a regional senior center, and 72 percent
felt after school recreational activities were important. He

OPEN FORUM, VISITORS:
MS CINDY HOGETVEDT 201 SYLVAN LANE RE: SEWER BACKUP:
Ms. Cindy Hogetvedt, 201 Sylvan Lane, addressed the Council
concerning a sewer backup at her home on January 16, 1994. She
stated that the damage was about $5,000. If they had not been at
home, the loss would have been a minimum of $20,000. She stated
that the City was not able to get someone to clean until the next
day and this was minimal.
Ms. Hogetvedt stated that this was not the first time they have had
a sewer backup at their home. She stated that they_had a backup
in the spring of 1983 and another one about three years ago. She
stated that their insurance coverage was very limited at the time
of the second occurrence, and a rider was taken out on their policy
with a $500 deductible.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 22, 1994 PAGE 6
Ms. Hogetvedt stated that she has submitted a letter to the City
requesting reimbursement for the $500 deductible which they had to
pay for this sewer backup. She stated that she would like some
answers from the City if they will be reimbursed this $500, as it
has been five weeks since the backup occurred.
Ms. Hogetvedt also asked what action the City would take to correct
the problem. She stated that she believes there is a back flow
valve that needs to be installed.
Mr. Erickson, Assistant Public Works Director, stated that there
was a backup at the Hogetvedt home on January 16, 1994, and the
City did respond. He stated that the City received a call at
9:30 a.m., and the stoppage was relieved at approximately
10:20 a.m. He stated that Service Master was called and was not
able to respbnd for a day due to the cold weather. He stated that
the City has records showing three backups at this address in
April, 1983; January, 1988; and the one on January 16, 1994. He
stated that in regard to the most recent backup and based on
inspection, there was a stick lodged in the manhole.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that the procedure is to file a
claim with the City's insurance company. If it is determined the
City was negligent, the City would cover the loss.
Ms. Hogetvedt stated that the problem is with the City's sewer line
and not with the line to their home.
Councilman Schneider stated it is likely that the City's insurance
company will not find the City negligent. He stated that in the
interest of good will, the question has been raised if a fund
should be established to cover damages up to $500 for sewer
backups. He stated that he would encourage some feedback from the
residents if they are watching on cable.
Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that he would find out the
status of Ms. Hogetvedt's claim.

2. PUBLIC HEARING ON AN ORDINANCE RECODIFYING THE FRIDLEY CITY
CODE CHAPTER 205 ENTITLED "ZONING " BY ADDING 205.27 (0-4
WETLAND DISTRICT) AND RENUMBERING OFFICIAL TITLE AND SUMMARY
205 28 AND AMENDING CHAPTER 11, "GENERAL PROVISIONS AND
FEES:"
MOTION by Councilman Billings to waive the reading of the public
hearing notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilman
Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared
the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing opened at
8:44 p.m.
Ms. McPherson, Planning Assistant, stated that this will be a new
chapter in the Zoning Code. She stated that the purpose of
adopting the Wetland Overlay District is to comply with the 1991
Wetland Conservation Act adopted by the state legislature in 1991.
She stated that the purpose of the Act is to achieve no net-loss
wetland functions and values. She stated that the law requires
developers to examine sequencing in order to avoid wetland impacts.
If they cannot be avoided, the law requires repiacement of the lost
wetland.
Ms. McPherson stated that the City contracted with Westwood
Engineering and Peterson Environmental Consulting to determine the
number of wetland basins located in the City. She stated that
there are 59 wetland basins in the City; 36 are located in the Rice
Creek Watershed District and 23 are located in the Six Cities
Watershed District. She stated that three basins would be exempt
from the s_equencing requirements of the ordinance, and 21 basins
are less than half an acre in area.
Ms. McPherson stated that the City would be responsible for issuing
certificates of exemption, determining instances of no loss,
reviewing and approving or denying replacement plans, reviewing
monitoring reports submitted by the property owner, and maintaining
documentation for these activities for a minimum of ten years. She
stated that as part of the ordinance, it is recommended that the
City establish fees for exemption certificates, replacement plan
applications, no loss determinations, and appeals. She stated that
the State law limits the amount that can be charged to $75.00.
�
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 22 1994 PAGE 8
Ms. McPherson stated that staff reviewed this proposed ordinance
with the Environmental Quality and Energy Commission and Planning
Commission and notified each of the affected property owners who
are adjacent to or abutting a wetland. She stated that informa-
tional meetings have been held with those owners and public
hearings conducted by the Commissions. She stated �hat the
Environmental Quality and Energy Commission and the Planning
Commission have recommended approval of this ordinance.
Councilman Schneider asked for a definition af the term
"sequencing."
Ms. McPherson stated that the sequencing requires a developer to
go through a series of steps before he submits a replacement plan.
She stated that a developer has to attempt to avoid a wetland or
to minimize and rectify the impact. She stated that if this cannot
be done, the developer must replace the wetland.
Councilman Schneider stated that, basically, the "sequencing" is
really a list of items that have to be done before a developer
would get to replacement of the wetland.
Ms. McPherson stated that there are 25 activities listed under the
exemptions where a developer may drain or fill a wetland depending
on the activities. He stated that for wetland areas les$ than one-
tenth of an acre, the City can make sequencing determinations
without written documentation from the applicant.
Mr. Robb Bouta, representing Westwood Engineering, stated that his
firm, as well as Ron Peterson frvm Peterson Environmental
Consulting, was involved in the wetland inventory for the City.
He stated that data sheets were compiled and completed for each
wetland and given an identification number. He stated that the
inventory did not include storm water basins, open storm water
ditches, or road ditches, as they are exempt.
Mr. Bouta stated that 59 wetland basins were identified in the
inventory. He reviewed the procedures for sequencing in order to
avoid impacting the wetland. He stated that before any private or
public entity can fill or drain a wetland, they must submit a
�aetland replacement plan to the City. He stated that this plan
requires thirty different components which includes such items as
the size, type, photographs, soils and vegetation of the basin,
proof of ownership, and the area where the wetland would be
replaced. He stated that a basin would be replaced at a ratio of
two to one but could go as high as a three to one ratio.
Mr. Bouta stated that when the City has finished reviewing the
replacement plan components and is sure the sequencing is adequate,
there is a finding of fact. He said that state law requires a
five-year monitoring program for the replacement of wetland. To
make sure the replacement will be done adequately, the City can
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRIIARY 22, 1994 PAGE 9
rely on the technical evaluation panel which is comprised of a
representative from the City, one from the Board of Soil and Water
Resources, and a representative from the Anoka County Soil and
Water Conservation District.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that there was reference to areas
less than one-tenth of an acre. She asked how much square footage
would be involved.
Mr. Bouta stated that this would be an area less than 4,360 square
feet.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if this area would be exempt from
these requirements if there was a City lot where half of it was
wetland.
Mr. Bouta stated that they would not be exempt, but if the fill
activity is less than one-tenth of an acre, the City can make a
sequencing determination. He stated that the wetland still has to
be replaced at a ratio of two to one, but an alternative to filling
the wetland does not have to be submitted.
Mayor Nee asked if the $75.00 fee was the maximum that could be
charged.
Mr. Bouta stated that under this Act, a City cannot charge more
`- than $75.00 for any permit issued for any of the activities which
include the certificate of exemption, the review of the replacement
plan, the review of any appeal of a decision by the City, or a
determination of a no loss or temporary impact. He stated,
however, that there may be other activities that may not fall under
the permit portion of the law. He stated that there has not been
clear direction from the Board of Soil and Water Resources what can
be charged. He stated that this Board will be issuing some type
of policy directive.
Mayor Nee stated that taxpayers should not be paying to subsidize
a developer, and any expenses should be paid by the developer.
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that she talked
to Ron Peterson regarding the fee issue, and there may be a change
in the state law. She stated that the Urban Wetland Coalition is
focusing on the issue whether or not the consultant fees could be
reimbursed by the developer.
Mr. Bouta stated that the City of Lakeville requires that the
applicant also pay a certain fee for staff time for processing each
permit application.
Ms. McPherson stated that the Anoka County Conservation District
received some grant money. The City can monitor staff time for
administration of this ordinance and, hopefully, recoup some of the
expenditures through this grant program.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 22, 1994 PAGE 10
Councilman Schneider stated that it seemed the City could encounter
some significant expenses if anyone applied for a very large
development in a wetland area. He felt that there should be some
way to recoup the fees.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, suggested that perhaps the costs could
be added to the building permit.
No other persons in the audience spoke regarding this proposed
ordinance.

4. AWARD CONTRACT FOR LOCKE LAKE DAM RESTORATION PROJECT NO. 211
STABLED FEBRUARY 7, 1994):
Mayor Nee removed this item from the table.
Mr. Erickson, Assistant Public Works Director, stated that the bids
for this project were received at the last Council meeting, and the
contract award was tabled for additional information.
Mr. Erickson stated that the original estimate for this project was
$635,000. He stated that the total cost for restoration of the dam
is $607,376 which includes engineering and construction costs. He
stated that the original estimate of the City's portion of that
cost was $192,500, but some additional expenses attributable to
this project amount to approximately $24,000.
Mr. Erickson stated that the County will fund a bituminous parking
lot and path but will postpone these improvements to a later date.
He stated that the County would reimburse the City $7,400 for
removal of the Sajady home and approximately $3,000 for some
landscaping. He stated that the additional expenses of $24,000
would be reduced by these two amounts which will be paid by the
County.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 22, 1994 PAGE il
Councilman Billings stated that when the public hearing was held
for this project, the original cos.t estimate was about $635,000 and
included in this figure were the improvements which would be paid
by the County. He stated that until last week, the City had
assumed the County would contribute $100,000 plus the cost of
acquiring the Sajady property. He stated that it now has been
determined that the County is only covering the cost of acquiring
the Sajady home and for demolishing this structure. He stated that
the City now has to contribute an additional $100,000 in order to
make the project work.
Councilman Billings stated that the bids were $27,000 less than
anticipated and $55,000 to $59,000 can be eliminated from the
proj ect for improvements the County will fund in the next few years
so these savings add up to $82,000 to $86,000. He stated that this
means the City is now faced with a$13,000 to $17,000 shortfall.
Councilman Billings stated that he wanted to make it very clear
that even though the bids were less than expected, the cost to the
City will actually increase.
MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson to award the contraet for the
Locke Lake Dam Restoration Project No. 211 to.the low bidder, Lunda
Construction Company, in the amount of $537,375.75. Seconded by
Councilman Schneider.
Councilman Billings asked what funds would be used for this
additional amount of $13,000 to $17,000 for the project.
Mr. Pribyl stated that he would assume the funds would be taken
from the capital improvement portion of the storm water fund. He
stated that there should be sufficient funds to handle this excess
without impeding any other projects.
Councilman Billings stated that he has not been following this
project very closely. He is.shocked to find that the project comes
to this, and now it is found that the County is contributing
considerably less than anticipated.
Mayor Nee stated that he felt it was a misunderstanding between the
City and the Director of Parks for the County. He felt that the
City's Public Works Director and the County's Park Director had a
different perception than the County Commissioners.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that the County's cost• for
acquiring the Sajady property has increased, and the County will
be completing park improvements at a later date.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that in 1992, the Anoka County Board
allocated $100,000 in their capital improvement plan for Locke Lake
to acquire the Sajady property.

written commitments and agreements before the Council makes
judgments.
UPON A VOiCE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, Councilwoman
Jorgenson, Councilman Schneider, Councilman Billings, and Mayor Nee
voted in favor of the motion. Councilwoman Bolkcom abstained from
voting. Mayor Nee declared the motion carried.

5. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 2 AND SECTION
4.04 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CHARTER (CITY COUNCIL ORGANIZATION,
AND NOMINATIONS AND SPECIAL ELECTIONS�:
MOTION by Councilman Billings to waive the reading and approve the
ordinance on first reading. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson.
Councilman Schneider stated that he would be comfortable with this
ordinance amendment if Section 2.06, subsection 1 did not have the
reference to, eight consecutive regular meetings of the Council.
He stated that he would like a set time period rather than
reference to eonsecutive regular meetings.
Councilman Billings stated that the Charter Commission did a
marvelous job of addressing the issues. He stated that he_has no
problem with the ordinance amendments, except for the language
regarding the eight consecutive meetings. He stated that if this
was not included, he would be able to support the amendments.
Councilman Billings stated that the current Council chooses to meet
two regular meetings per month. With the proposed language of
eight consecutive regular meetings, a Council member could miss
four months. He stated, however, that some future Council could
change their meeting schedule, and he would be more comfortable
with a quantitative time period.
Mr. Backlund, Chairman of the Charter Commission, stated that
reviewing this ordinance amendment has been a lengthy process, and
he would not be surprised if this would take another form in its
next process. He stated that this amendment needs to be
implemented because it solves a problem of vacancies. He stated
that the Charter Commission will have to take what action they feel
is appropriate.
Councilman Billings stated that if this change had not been added,
he would be willing to support the amendment. He stated �ahat he
is hearing is if the Council does not approve it, the Charter
Commission is going to do something different. He felt that this
was a very complicated issue and would be difficult to present to
the voters.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 22 1994 PAGE 13
Mr. Backlund stated that as Chairman of the Charter Commission he
cannot tell what action the Commission would take. He stated that
the Council has every right to reject this amendment in whole or
part. He stated that the Charter Commission has sought outside
information from the League oE Women Voters and other parties. He
felt that perhaps in the future, there should be dialogue between
the Charter Commission members and the Council. He stated that he
would not make a threat but would only point out the alternatives
available. He stated that there is some frustration among the
Commission members because of the number of times this has been
reviewed. He stated that the important item is that the City have
a Charter that deals with vacancies between regular elections. He
stated that it is their intent as a body to act as a group and
deliver a product as they see fit. It is the Council's prerogative
to approve or reject it.
Mr. Backlund stated that if the Council approves this change, it
may be possible for the Charter Commission to re-review the changes
in this questionable area. He stated that this is a complicated
process and is difficult to change; however, he respects the
judgment of the Council and will deal with the outcome.
UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, Councilwoman Jorgenson
voted in favor of the motion. Mayor Nee, Councilman Schneider,
Councilman Billings and Councilwoman Bolkcom voted against the
motion. Mayor Nee declared the motion failed.
Mayor Nee stated that there have been periods in the past where the
Council had four or five meetings per week. He stated that it
seems the City would be well served if the Charter Commission
talked to the Council during their deliberations.
Mr. Backlund stated that the Charter Commission should make the
Council aware of the changes they are deliberating so that their
time and the Council's is not wasted.
Mayor Nee stated he would like to talk to the Commission to discuss
the issue.
Mr. Backlund stated that he felt it was incumbent on both the
Charter Commission and Council to communicate.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated that he did not know whether the
Charter Commission or their legal counsel had followed a recent
case in Coon Rapids, but they may want to review it.
Mr. Backlund stated that the Charter Commission would definitely
want to insure that they did not do anything that would cause legal
consequences for the City.

City of Fridley
March 4, 1994
William Burns, City Manager � ���
Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
Public Hearing on Proposed Amendment to
Chapter 220, Entitled "Residential Rental
Property Maintenance and Licensing Code"
The purpose of the proposed amendment to Chapter 220 of the
Fridley City Code is to accomplish the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Increase the number of inspections to 1,000 rental units per
year; 1/4 of the City's total rental units.
Update the City's current rental property maintenance
standards.
Increase the rental license fees to cover a portion of the
cost of the program.
Implement an equally aggressive and active maintenance and
rehabilitation program as surrounding communities.
The amendment to Chapter 220 is part of the City's overall
housing program to maintain and improve neighborhood livability.
As you know, the City Council has directed staff to implement the
following programs as-part of our housing program effort:
1. Evaluate and implement ordinances which ensure ongoing
maintenance of structures in the City, including a nuisance
abatement ordinance for property violations occurring
outside the building (adopted January 1994); a truth-in-sale.
ordinance for ongoing maintenance of single family homes; an
annual certificate of occupancy program for commercial and
industrial buildings; and a rental licensing ordinance and
inspection program.
2. Establish a Rental Owner/Landlord Coalition (the Police
Department initiated this effort and owners/landlords are
now organizing their own coalition).

Implement a scattered-site acquisition program of
deteriorated/abandoned homes.
Research Completed to Proposed Ordinance
Staff contacted 16 communities to collect.rental ordinances and
related information. Each ordinance was reviewed for content,
format, and readability. Most of the ordinances seemed to
closely model one another. Staff then contacted a smaller number
of communities similar to Fridley to determine their inspection
policies, procedures, and personnel requirements.
Common elements to all of the communities included an annual
license, regular inspections, establishment of licensing fees,
and a minimum of one full-time inspector.
Major Features of the Proposed Ordinance
There are four major features of the ordinance:
1. The minimum building and structural standards have been
updated and revised. These standards pertain to exterior
appearances, plumbing, heating, electrical, and structural
elements of the buildings.
2. Licensing procedures have been amended to require owners to
maintain an occupancy register, have written procedures for
responding to tenant complaints, and to be accountable for
the behavior of the tenants (Section 220.14).
3.
�
License fees would be increased to cover a partion of the
cost of the program.
The ordinance provides for the systematic inspections of
1,000 units per year instead of the current procedure of
responding to complaints.
Proposed Inspection Proclram
During our research, we dete�mined that there are two sets of
inspections occurring in multiple family buildings; a fire
inspection in the common areas as well as an inspection inside
1A
Chapter 220
March 4, 1994
Page 3
the rental unit which should meet the standards identified in a
city's rental code. In order to eliminate the necessity for two
sets of inspectors to perform these inspections, it seemed
appropriate to combine the inspections in one department.
Columbia Heights, for example, uses fire fighters to conduct
their rental inspections. We also determined that it was easier
to cross-train fire inspectors into rental inspectors versus
training rental inspectors into fire inspectors. Fire
inspections require more training, classwork, and practical
experience.
Further, the Fire Department has been administering the City's
current rental inspection program since 1982. They have been
able to respond to complaints on a 24 hour basis because of the
availability oE fire department personnel. There are more .
resources and equipment available to the fire personnel at this
time as compared to hiring full-time city staff or contract
personnel. A vehicle is available £or inspections, and the fire
fighters would be wearing uniforms.
It is proposed that the inspection program would be implemented
by a full-time fire fighter, a half-time fire fighter, and a
part-time clerical person. It is estimated that the personnel
costs approximate $65,000. Although the Fire Department has
computer programming available, tracking the inspections and
ongoing maintenance of a program this size would require
additional software and computer hardware. We are therefore
estimating a potential one-time charge of $10,000 to $20,000 for
computer equipment (the Information Systems Committee is
currently evaluating these issues as part of its overall mandate
to evaluate computer use within the Municipal Center). Another
$15,000 in soft costs is also anticipated in terms of providing
forms, office space, and other office equipment to appropriately
serve the inspection program. Therefore, we are anticipating a
total program cost initially of approximately $100,000.
Review Process
City staff was invited to the Renta� Owner/Manager Coalition
meeting on February 2, 1994 to review the proposed ordinance.
Several concerns were identified at that meeting. Chuck McKusick
in the attached memo reviews issues pertaining to administration
of the inspection program which were raised at the Owner's
Coalition meeting. Also, staff inet with Angie Fleming, manager
of Springbrook Apartments, who is the chairperson of the Rental
Owner/Manager CoaZition, and Steve Schachtman, President of
Steven Scott Management Inc. on Wedne5day, March 2, 1994. We
anticipate that they will present the following concerns to the
City Council at the public hearing:
:
Chapter 220
March 4, 1994
Page 4
1. They are concerned about the administration and
implementation of the tenant behavior section of the
ordinance (Section 220.14). This section identifies
specific requirements for the owner to address unlawful
tenant behavior as defined in the ordinance. This section
of the ordinance would provide the City with the ability to
suspend or revoke the owner's license if the owner does not
properly follow the procedures contained in the ordinance to
evict the tenant after two occurrences.
2. We anticipate an alternative fee schedule to be proposed.
They felt it was unfair to propose a large fee increase
given that the fees have not been increased since originally
implemented. Further, they recommended that we contact the
City of Plymouth to compare fee schedules given that they
recently worked with Plymouth on a similar issue (staff wili
do that prior to Monday's hearing).
3. Specific features of the ordinance may be questioned
including the definition of a"Family" and other issues.
As a result of the Owner's Coalition meeting on February 2, 1994
and as part of our usual process to have our prosecution attorney
and the City Attorney's office review the ordinance, we are now
in the process of ineeting with legal staff about specific
features of the ordinance. The owners were concerned about the
authority of the City to enter property for municipal
inspections. While the City has adequate authority to conduct
systematic inspections in order to insure that the units are in
compliance with the minimum building standards in Chapter 220,
the City as in the case with all inspections must receive
permission for the purpose of inspection (see memo from Gregg
Herrick dated February 17, 1994). If permission is refused, the
City must obtain a search warrant or consent if the inspection is
refused. It should be noted that the majority of leases already
permit landlords to access tenants units for inspections,
repairs, or to "show" the unit.
The prosecutor's office has suggested amendments to several areas
of the ordinance:
1. Section 220.13.09 should be amended to provide for a 20 day
notice to the owner instead of a 5 day notice.
2. Section 220.02, "Preamble", should be expanded and amended.
3. Section 220.13 regarding resident agent requirements should
be amended to require every non-resident owner to designate
�C
Chapter 220
March 4, 1994
Page 5
a resident agent.
4. Notice�to tenants in Secti��.220.14 beyond posting should be
provided.
Staff will be meeting with both the City Attorney and the
Prosecuting Attorney on Monday, March 7, 1994 to follow-up on
these issues.
Recommendation
The City Council should conduct the pubZic hearing as advertised.
Because we are anticipating additional information from the
Owner's Coalition and because the attorney's offices are still.
reviewing the proposed language in the ordinance, staff
recommends that the hearing be continued beyond Monday's hearing
to the meeting on March 21, 1994. This would provide staff with
additionaZ time to respond as directed by the City Gouncil to the
testimony received at Monday night�s hearing.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
MEMO TO: BARB DACY, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
FROM: DICK LARSON, DEPUTY FIRE CHIEF ��
DATE: March 2, 1994
SUBJECT: CITY CODE CHAPTER 220
In response to the three questions posed concerning administration of subject proposed
ordinance:
1. Response by Owner to Complaint:
In the event the Fire Department receives a rental property complaint from a
tenant, and the tenant has already given complaint notice to the landlord, then the
Fire Department will verify the complaint status with the landlord. The time
permitted to correct the complaint will vary depending on the nature of the
problem. However, the Fire Department is concerned that the landlord
acknowledge to the Fire Department that he/she has in fact received the
complaint from the tenant and will be implementing corrective action if the
complaint is fiounded. Accordingly, the Fire Department believes a reasonable
time to make that acknowledgement and affirm a corrective action plan, is 24 to
48 hours from the date we tried to contact the landlord. This does not mean the
problem must be carrected in that period. It does mean that we can create a
written record of having discussed the matter with the landlord.
The basis for this procedural need is that we have often experienced landlords
who will not return our repeated telephone calls, or simply can't be contacted.
The burden for being available to our calls must rest with the landlord or his/her
agent.
1E
Page 2
2. Inspection Schedule:
Upon direction from the City Manager to implement the ordinance, the rental
inspection program will start. The program contemplates the addition of
personnel, funded in part by the rental property permit fees. Because the new fee
schedule is not effective until August, the City will determine if the additional
personnel should be retained prior to August.
In any event, the Fire Department will utilize existing staff to the best of its ability
to accelerat� inspection frequency. This will require the Fire Department to defer
other activities due to personnel shortfaN, pending additional staff, but will result
in an attainment of the prorated year end total inspection goal.
3. Inspection Strategy
The question of whether one part of the City will be inspected first, or whether
complaints will be handled before routine inspections, assurnes that the Fire
Department will not have sufficient human resources to fu(ly implement the
program. The expectation is that the Fire Department will be staffed 24 hours per
day, permitting receipt of complaints at any hour, rather than during just normal
business hours. We expect all priority complaints, e.g. lack of heat, fire Qr health
hazard, to be inspected immediately by on duty staff. All firefighters will be
trained in this area, and some wiN receive advanced training.
Property inspection will not be the sole responsibility of one or two designated
firefighters, but rather a department responsibility. This means that the Deputy
Chief who is the administrator for all inspection programs, can and wilt schedule
as many personnel as needed to achieve needed inspection rates. He will
determine the inspection strategies appropriate to the situations that exist.
Inspection priorities change with time, building ownerships, complaint histories,
and neighborhood composition. As a stakeholder in the program's success,
owners should be confident that they will receive the inspection service, at least
once each four years, that it will be a constructive process for them and the
community, and that it wiil be conducted at mutually convenient times and dates.

It has been held by the United States Supreme Court tha.t entry
into a building without permission for the purpose of inspection
violates constitutional guarantees against unreasonable searches
and seizures. Thus, based upon the case law, absent a search
warrant or consent, inspection is not permitted. Entry of
buildings without permission is, however, allowed in emergency

First Reading of O-4, Wetland Overlay
District Ordinance
Based on the City Council's discussion during the public hearing
on February 22, 1994 regarding the 0-4, Wetland Overlay
ordinance, staff has added additional language regarding fees for
administration oE the wetland ordinance. This additional
language is based on the City of Lakeville's administrative
charges of 2 1/2 times the hourly rate for staff and consultant
time for administration of the 1991 Wetland Conservation Act. We
have titled this fee "Administrative Assessment" and have
included various other activities such as traffic studies,
environmental impact worksheets, drainage plans, etc. The City
Attorney has reviewed and agrees with this proposed language.
The revised language can be found on the last page of the
ordinance and will become part of Chapter 11, entitled "Fees".

:
Page 3 - Ordinance No.
C. Sequencing
(1) The following principles of wetland mitigation are
listed in descending priority. A wetland. ,
replacement�pl.an shall not be approved unless the
applicant has demonstrated that the activity
impacting a wetland has complied with the highest
priority possible:
(a) Avoids direct or indirect impacts to the
wetland that may destroy or diminish the
wetland;
(b) Minimizes the impact to the wetland by
limiting the degree or magnitude of the
wetland activity and its implementation;
(c) Rectifies the impact by repairing,
rehabilitating, or restoring the affected
wetland;
(d) Reduces or eliminates the impact to the
wetland over time by preservation and
maintenance operations; and
(e) Replaces unavoidable impacts to the wetland
by restoring or creating substitute wetland
areas having equal or greater public value.
(2) The applicant may either submit the information
required for sequencing analysis as part of the
application for replacement plan approval or apply
for a preliminary sequencing determination from
the City. For projects impacting wetland areas
less that 4,356 square feet, the City may provide
on-site sequencing determinations without written
�� documentation from the applicant.
D. Sequencing Determinations
(1) The City shall determine whether any feasible and
prudent alternatives are available that would
avoid impacts to wetlands. An alternative shall
be considered feasible and prudent if:
(a) It is in accordance with accepted engineering
standards and practices;
(b) It is consistent with reasonable requirements
of the public health, safety and general
welfare;
%C
Page 4 - Ordinance No.
(c) It is an environmentally preferable
alternative based on a review of social,
economic, and environmental impacts; and
(d) It would create no truly unusual problems.
(2) The City shall consider the following in
evaluating alternatives:
(a) The basic project purpose can be xeasonably
accomplished using one or more other sites in
the same general area that would avoid
wetland impacts. An alternate site may not
be excluded from consideration only because
it includes or requires an area not owned by
the applicant that could.be easily obtained,
used, expanded, or managed to fulfill the
basic purpose of the proposed project;
(b) The general suitability of alternate sites
considered by the applicant;
(c) Whether reasonable modification of the size,
scope, configuration, or density of the
project would avoid impacts to wetlands;
(d) Efforts by the applicant to accommodate or
remove constraints on alternatives imposed by
zoning standards or infrastructure, including
requests for special use permits, variances,
or planned unit developments; and
(e) The physical, economic, and demographic
requirements of the project. Economic
considerations alone do not make an
alternative not feasible and prudent.
(3) If the City determines that a feasible and prudent
alternative exists that would avoid impacts to
wetlands, it shall deny the replacement plan:
(4) If no feasible and prudent alternative is
available that would avoid impacts to wetlands,
the City shall evaluate the replacement plan to
determine that it will minimize impacts to
wetlands. The City shall use the following
criteria to determine the sufficiency of the
applicant's efforts to minimize impacts to
wetlands:
(a) The spatial requirements of the project;
7D
Page 5 - Ordinance No.
(b) The location of existing structural or
natural features that may dictate the
placement or configuration of the project;
(c) The purpose, of th�e project and how the
purpose relates to the placement,
configuration, or density;
(d) The sensitivity of the site design to the
natural features of the site, including
topography, hydrology, and existing
vegetation;
(e)
(f)
�g)
The value, function, and spatial distribution
of wetlands on the site;
Individual and cumulative impacts, and
An applicant's efforts to:
((1)) Modify the size, scope,
configuration or density of the
project;
((2)) Remove or accommodate site
constraints including zoning,
infrastructure, access, or other
features; and
((3)) Minimize other impacts.
(5) If the City finds that an appiicant has not
complied with the requirements to minimize wetland
impacts, the City shall list, in writing, its
objections to the project. If, within 30 days,
the applicant does not withdraw the project
proposal or indicate intent to submit an amended
project proposal satisfying the City's objections,
the statement of objections shall constitute a
denial.
(6) Temporary impacts to a wetland shall be rectified
by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the
affected wetland. The City may determine that an
applicant's activity may qualify for a no-loss
determination if the following criteria are met:
(a) The physical characteristics of the affected
wetland, including ground elevations,
contours, inlet dimensions, outlet
dimensions, substrate, hydrologic regime, are
7E
Page 6 - Ordinance No.
restored to pre-project conditions sufficient
to ensure that all pre-project functions and
values are restored;
(b) The activity is completed �nd the physical
'characteristics of the wetland are restored
within six months of the start of the
activity;
(c) The party responsible for the activity
provides a performance bond to the City for
an amount sufficient to cover the estimated
cost to restore the wetland to pre-project
conditions. The City shall return the
performance bond to the responsible party
upon a determination by the City that the
conditions in Section 205.27.5.D.(6).(c) and
Section 205.27.5.D.(4).
(d) An applicant shall be granted a no-loss
determination under the criteria a through c
above once in a ten-year period for a
particular site within a wetland, except that
repairs to the original project shall be
allowed under the no-loss determination, if
the City determines the request to be
necessary and reasonable.
(7) After an activity is completed, further wetland
impacts from the draining or filling must be
reduced or eliminated by maintaining, operating,
and managing the project in a manner that
preserves and maintains remaining wetland
functions and values. The City will require
applicants to implement best management practices
to protect wetland functions and values.
(8) Unavoidable wetland impacts that remain after
efforts to minimize, rectify, reduce, or eliminate
them must be replaced.
6. EXEMPTIONS
A. The following activities are exempt from the O-4,
Wetland Overlay District regulations:
(1) Activities in a wetland created solely as a result
of:
(a) Beaver dam construction;
%F

(c) Actions by public entities that were taken
for a purpose other than creating the
wetland;
(d) Any combination of (a) to (c).
(2) Impoundments or excavations constructed in non-
wetlands solely for the purpose of effluent
treatment, storm water retention, soil and water
conservation practices, and water quality
improvements, and not as part of a compensatory
wetland mitigation process, that may, over time,
take on wetland characteristics, are also
exempted.

utility and pipeline rights-of-way, provided the
activities do not result in additional intrusion
into the wetland;
(5) Activities associated with routine maintenance or
repair of existing public highways, roads,
streets, and bridges, provided the activities so
not result in additional intrusion into the
wetland outside of the existing right of way;
(6) Emergency repair and normal maintenance of
existing public works, provided the activity does
not result in additional intrusion of the public
works into the wetland and do not result in the
draining or filling, wholly or partially, of a
wetland;
(7) Normal maintenance and repair o
causing no additional intrusion
structure into the wetland, and
repair of private crossings tha
the draining or filling, wholly

Page 8 - Ordinance No.
(8) Activities that result in the draining or filling
of less than 400 square feet of wetlands. This
exemption a�plies if the total wetland loss by

9. REPLACEMENT PLAN EVALIIATION CRITERIA
A. Before consideration or approval of the replacement
plan, the City shall ensure that the applicant has
exhausted all possibilities to avoid and minimize
adverse impacts according to sequencing in Section 5D.
B. The order of preference for the method of replacement,
from the most preferred to least preferred:
(1) Project-specific restoration;
(2) Project-specific creation;
(3) Wetland banking. �
Modification or.conversion of non-degraded wetland from
one wetland type to another does not constitute
adequate replacement. Wetlands drained or filled under
an exemption may not be restored for replacement credit
for ten years after draining or filling.
C. Replacement of wetland values shall be completed before
or concurrent with the actual draining or filling of a
wetland, unless an irrevocable bank letter of credit or
other security acceptable to the City is submitted to
the City to guarantee successful completion of the
replacement. Al1 wetlands to be restored or created as
part of an approved replacement plan shall be clearly
designated prior to approval of the replacement plan by
the City.
%�
Page 15 - Ordinance No.
D. Replacement wetlands shall be located in the same
watershed as the impacted wetlands, or the ratio in
Section 205.27.10 shall apply.
E. Replacement wetlands must be of a size sufficient to
ensure that they provide equal or greater public value
than the wetland that was drained or filled. The
minimum size of the replacement wetland must be in the
ratio of two acres of replaced wetland for each aere of
drained or filled wetland. The actual replacement
ratios required for a replacement wetland may be more
than the minimum, subject to the evaluation of wetland
functions in Section 9. Future owners may make no use
of the wetland after it is altered for a period of ten
years unless future replacement to achieve a 2:1 ratio
occurs. The landowner shall record a notice of this
restriction in the office of the county recorder in
which the project is located.
F. Restoration and replacement of wetlands must be
accomplished according to the ecology of the landscape
area affected. A replacement plan that would result in
wetlands or wetland characteristics that do not
naturally occur in the landscape area in which the
replacement will occur will not be approved.
G. The following factors when, applicable to an impact or
replacement site, shall be considered by the City:
(1) The site contains endangered species listed in
Minnesota Rules, parts 6134.0200 to 6134.0400 and
the proposed activities would take those species,
the replacement plan shall not be approved.
(2) The site contains a rare natural community, and
the proposed activity would adversely affect the
community, the replacement plan shall not be
approved.
(3) The site contains a significant fish and wildlife
resource; including but not limited to fish
passage and spawning areas, colonial waterbird
nesting colonies, migratory waterfowl
concentration areas, deer wintering areas, or
wildlife travel corridors, and the proposed
activity would adversely impact those resources,
the replacement plan shall not be approved.
(4) The site contains archaeological or historic
areas, and the activity would adversely affect
those areas, the replacement plan shall not be
�
Page 16 - Ordinance No.
approved.
(5) The proposed activity would have significant
adverse impact on the groundwater quality, the
replacement plan shall not be approved. .
(6) The proposed activity would have significant
adverse impact on the water quality of outstanding
resource value waters as listed in Minnesota
Rules, 7050.0180 or on trout waters, the
replacement plan shall not be approved.
(7) Wetlands used for educational or research purposes
shall be maintained or adequately replaced.
(8) The proposed activity involves known or potential
hazardous wastes. Such activities shall be
conducted in accordance with applicable federal or
state standards.
(9) The proposed activity shall be consistent with
other plans, including, but not limited to zoning,
comprehensive, watershed management, and land use
plans.
10. EVALUATION OF WETLAND FIINCTIONS AND VALIIES
A. Replacement wetlands shall replace the functions and
values that are lost from a wetland that is drained or
filled. A replacement wetland should replace the same
combination or functions and values provided by the
impacted wetland. The wetland type index system in
Minnesota Rules 8420.0540, subpt 10, item B, uses
relative values of wetland functions compared across
wetland types to evaluate the adequacy of wetland
replacement. The City may allow the evaluation of
wetlands by measuring and comparing public values
specified in Minnesota Statutes, section 103b.3355,
with the current version of the Minnesota wetland
evaluation methodology or another scientifically
acceptable methodology.
B. Table 4, Minnesota Rules, part 8420.0550, provides
technical specifications for canstructing wetland
types. In evaluating a wetland replacement plan, the
City shall determine whether the wetland type stated as
the replacement plan goal will result from the
replacement plan specifications. If a wetland type
other than the replacement plan goal is likely to
result, the City shall evaluate the plan based on this
determination.
[L r
Page 17 - Ordinance No.
C. The City may consider allowing constructed stormwater
detention basins for replacement credit if the basin
conforms to the following specifications:
(1) The basin design uses a two-cell system in which
the upstream cell has a 24-hour retention time for
a two-year storm event;
(2) The downstream cell is designed for a maximum
12-inch rise in water level for a ten-year storm
event;
(3) The standards in Minnesota Rules, part 8420.0550
are followed;
(4) The design goal is a palustrine emergent wetland
that meets all statutory definitions of a wetland,
for example, soils, hydrology, and vegetation.
Only the downstream cell can be counted for
wetland credit, and the replacement plan must
include a plan and schedule for maintenance of the
storm water basin system. Storm water basins
which allowed for replacement are not eligible for
an exemption; and
(5) Storm water management basins constructed for the
primary purpose of controlling or treating
stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces or
developed areas, not conforming to the units in
1-4 above, are not considered wetlands. These
therefore exempt from replacement plan
requirements when constructed in non-wetlands,
also cannot be considered for credit as part of
replacement plan, regardless of their location.
are
and
a
D. When wetland functions lost as a result of drainage or
filling are replaced by restoring a wetland of the same
type and in the same watershed with the same inlet and
outlet characteristics as described in Section
205.27.9.E, and related definitions, the replacement
shall be considered to be in-kind and the minimal
replacement ratio shall be used to determine the
necessary size of the replacement wetland. The minimum
replacement ratio is 2:1, requiring two times the
impacted area be replaced.
E. If the wetland functions lost as a result of drainage
or filZing are to be replaced by creating a wetland or
restoring a wetland of a differe�t type than the
impacted wetland, or if the replacement wetland is in a
- watershed other than the impacted wetland or had
% Q
Page 18 - Ordinance No.
different inlet and outlet characteristics than the
impacted wetland, the replacement shall be considered
out of kind, and the City shall use the replacement
ratios in Minnesota Rules, 8420.0540, subpt b, ite� D,
Table 2, to�determine the amount of replacement wetland
needed to replace the lost wetland values.
(1) Differences in wetland functions and values among
wetland types are to be evaluated and replaced
using the wetland type ratio table located and, to
be applied as specified in Administrative Rules,
8420.0540, subpt 10, Table 2. The wetland type
ratio table incorporates an evaluation of public
values as specified in Minnesota.Statutes, section
103B.3355, for the purposes of comparison among
wetland types.
(2) If a wetland to be drained or filled exhibits more
than one wetland type as determined by the
Technical Evaluation Panel, and more than one
wetland type is proposed to be drained or filled,
the City shall use the following procedure to
determine needed replacement. The acreage of each
wetland type tv be converted to non-wetland shall
be determined. The wetland type ratio table shall
_ then be used to determine the amount of
replacement wetland for each wetland type. The
sum of the replacement for each wetland type shall
be the resultant acreage requirement for the
wetland type ratio.
(3) When a replacement wetland is located in a
different hydrologic unit than the impacted
wetland, as indicated by the USGS Hydrologic Unit
Map for Minnesota, the ratios in MInnesota Rules
8420.0540 must be followed.
(4) If the inlet and outlet characteristics of a
replacement wetiand differ from those of the
impacted wetland, the ratios in Minnesota Rules
8420.0540 Table 3 shall be applied.
(5) The City may, by local ordinance, establish
additional local public value to address wetland
conservation or preservation issues of local
concern. These ratios shall have a minimum value
of zero and shall be based on wetland management
objectives of a local water management plan
adopted under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 103B or
103D.
7R
Page 19 - Ordinance No.
(6) The required replacement ratio for out-of kind
replacement shall be the sum of the wetland type
ratio plus the hydrologic unit ratio plus the
inlet and outlet characteristic ratio plus the
local public value ratio. If this ratio is less
than the minimum in-kind ratioF the minimum
in-kind ratio shall be the required replacement
ratio.
(7) In cases of partial drainage, the amount of
wetland to be replaced shall be calculated using
the formulas in Minnesota Rules 8420.0540, Item E.
(8) In cases where partially drained wetlands are
restored to their former state, credit may be
received as calculated in Administrative Rules
8420.0540, Item F.
(9) For projects of unusual complexity, or replacement
plans that have been denied and are being
appealed, and for which the City believes an
alternative evaluation process may produce a
substantially different replacement requirement,
the City may evaluate the replacement plan using
the current version of the Minnesota wetland
evaluation methodology or another scientifically
accepted methodology approved by the board, in
consultation with the Commissioner, that evaluates
all wetland functions and values for both the
impacted and replacement wetlands.
When using the Minnesota wetland evaluation
methodology or another board, in consultation with
the Commissioner, approved methodology to evaluate
replacement plans, the ratio of impact wetland to
replacement wetland shaZl not be less than the
minimum required. Further, the hydrologic unit
ratio, the inlet and outlet characteristics ratio,
and the local public value ratio, shall also be
considered when using the Minnesota wetland
evaluation methodology or another board, in
consultation with the Commissioner, approved
methodology.
(10) A replacement plan that fails to meet the
requirements in items 1-8 shall be considered
inadequate in replacing lost functions and values
and shall not be approved by the City. A
replacement plan that has been considered by the
City and not approved may be revised and
resubmitted for consideration by the City. The
%3
Page 20 - Ordinance No.
decision of the City to approve, approve with
conditions, or not approve a replacement plan
becomes final if not appealed to the board within
30 days after the date on which�the decision is
mailed to those required.to receive notice of the
decision. Before construction of the wetland�, a
notice as required in Section 205.27.7.4.9 must be
recorded and proof of recording provided to the
City.
11. WETLAND REPLACEMENT STANDARDS.
A. The standards and guidelines in this part shall be used
in wetland creation and restoration efforts to ensure
adequate replacement of wetland functions and values.
Minnesota Rules 8420.0540, Table 4 provides general
guidelines for the physical characteristics that each
type of replacement wetland should have.
B. The standards in items 1 to 8 shall be followed in all
wetland replacements unless the technical evaluation
panel determines that a standard is clearly not
appropriate.
(1) Water control structures must be constructed using
specification provided in the Minnesota Wetland
Restoration Guide or their equivalent. Control
structures may be subject to the department dam
safety regulations.
(2) Best management practices must be established and
maintained to the entire perimeter of all
replacement wetlands.
(3) For replacement wetlands where the dominant
vegetation of the wetland type identified as the
replacement goal in Section 205.27.7.A.4.1, is not
likely to recover naturally in a five-year period,
wooded and shrub wetlands especially, the
replacement wetland must be seeded or planted with
appropriate species, as determined by the soil and
water conservation district, the seed or planting
stock should be of local wetland origin to
preserve local genotypes. During the monitoring
period, the applicant must take reasonable steps
to prevent invasion by any species, for example,
purple loosestrife and Eurasian water milfoil,
that would defeat the re-vegetation goal of the
replacement plan.
(4) Erosion control measures as determined by the soil
7T
Page 21 - Ordinance No.
and water conservation district must be employed
during construction and until permanent ground
cover is established to prevent siltation of the
replacement wetland or nearby water bodies.
(5) For all restored wetlands where the original
organic substrate has been striped away and for
all created wetlands, provisions must be made for
providing an organic substrate. When feasible,
the organic soil used for backfill should be taken
from the drained or filled wetland.
(6) The bottom contours of created types 3, 4, and 5
wetlands should be undulating, rather than flat,
to provide a variety of water depth.
(7) Sideslopes of created wetlands and buffer strip
must not be steeper than 5:1, five feet horizonta]
for every one foot vertical as averaged around the
wetland. Sideslopes of 10:1 and 15:1 are
preferred.
(8) Created wetlands should have an irregular edge to
create points and bays to be consistent with
Section 205.27.8.F.
I2. MONITORING ANNIIAL REPORT

13. MONITORING DETERMINATIONS BY THE CITY
The City:
A. Shall inspect the project when construction is complete
and certify compliance with construction
specifications, and may inspect the project at any time
during the construction and monitoring period, and any
time after that to assess the long-term viability of
the replaced wetland. When the City certifies that the
construction specifications have been met, the City
shall so advise the applicant and return any bond or
other security that the applicant had provided;
B. May order corrective action at any time during the
required monitoring period if it determines that the
goal of the approved replacement plan will not be �et,
and may require the applicant to prepare an amended
wetland value replacement plan for review and approval
by the City, which describes in detail the corrective
measures to be taken to achieve the goal of replacing
the lost wetland functions and values;
C. Shall make a finding based on a site visit at the end
of the monitoring period as to whether the goal of the
replacement plan has been met. If the goal of the
replacement plan has not been met, the City shall order
corrective action and extend the monitoring period; and
D. Shall require one or more of the following actions if,
during the monitoring period, the City finds that the
goal of the replacement plan will not be met:

required to receive notice of the decision, or by 100
residents of the county in which a majority of the
wetland is located.
C. Appeal is effective upon mailing of the notice of
appeal to the board with an affidavit that a copy of
the notice of appeal has been mailed to the City. The

petition the board to hear an appeal from an exemption
or no-loss determination. The board shall grant the
petition unless it finds that the appeal is merit-less,
trivial, or brought solely for the purposes of delay.
In determining whether to grant the appeal, the board
shall give consideration to the size of the wetland,
other factors in controversy, any patterns of similar
acts by the City or landowner of petition, and the
consequences of the delay.
17. APPEAL FROM BOARD DECISION

18. COMPENSATION
A. Replacement plan applicants who have completed the
City's process and the board appeal process, and the
plan has not been approved as submitted, may apply to
the board for compensation under Minnesota Statutes,
section 103G.237.
B. The application must identify the applicant, locate the
wetland, and refer the board to its appeal file in the
matter.
C. The application must include an agreement that in
exchange for compensation the applicant will convey to
the state a perpetual conservation easement in the form
required by Minnesota Statutes, section 103F.516. The
applicant must provide an abstract of title
demonstrating the ability to convey the easement free
of any prior title, lien, or encumbrance. Failure to
provide marketable title negates the state's obligation
to compensate.
D. The applicant must submit official documentation from
the US Army Corps of engineers, the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency, the watershed district or water
management organization if any, the county, and the
City, as applicable, that the proposed drain or fill
activity and the proposed subsequent use of the wetland
are lawful under their respective legal requirements.
E. The landowner must demonstrate that the proposed drain
or fill is a feasible and prudent project and that the
replacement plan as proposed is a reasonable good faith
effort to fulfill the replacement requirements of
Sections 205.27.� to 205.27.10 and the Act.
F. If the plan was approved, but with conditions or
modifications, the applicant must show that the
conditions or modifications make the replacement
unworkable or not feasible. A plan is unworkable or
not feasible if the replacement must be on land that
the applicant does not own, the applicant has make good
faith efforts to acquire a replacement site and not
succeeded, and there is not a qualifying replacement
available in a wetland bank. A plan is also unworkable
or not feasible if it is not possible to carry out for
engineering reasons. The applicant must show that not
going ahead with the project will cause the applicant
damages and that disallowing the proposed use will
enhance the public values of the wetland.

the same time period the applicant must convey to the
board a conservation easement in the form required by

Request to Extend Special Use Permit, SP #93- '
O1, by Westminster Corporation
On March 15, 1993, the City Council approved the special use
permit, SP #93-01, by Westminster Corporation, to construct a 50
unit elderly housing project on the west side of 5th Street, just
north of St. Williams Church. Westminster is within a few weeks
of submitting the building permit application. City staff has
been meeting with the contractor recently regarding the proposed
building plans. �
The zoning ordinance requires that construction commence within
one year of the special use permit approval unless an extension
is approved. Westminster has submitted the attached letter
requesting a 90 day extension to August 15, 1994. The City
Council extended approval for the lot split application last Fall
to September 1, 1994.
To be consistent with that action, staff recommends that the City
Council extend the special use permit to September 1, 1994. This
should provide more than adequate time for the project to
commence construction.

Re: Norwood Square
Fridley, Minnesota
Dear Barb:
This letter is to request a 90 day extension of the Special Use Permit
approved by the Fridley City Council on March 15, 1993. This
extension should provide adequate time to eomplete our financing
arrangements, close on the mortgage loan, and begin construction.
The process for obtaining HUD financing has taken longer than
expected. Furthermore, our contractor does not want to start
construction until the snow is melted and most of the frost is out of the
ground, so as to avoid the additional cost of winter construction. HLJD
is very close to issuing its firm commitment, but there are a couple of
details that need to be worked out. I expect these matters to be
resolved in the next couple of weeks, at which time HUD will issue its
firm financing commitment. I anticipate construction will start in mid
April.
Thank you for your help in this matter. If you need any additional
infgrmation, please do not hesitate to call me at 290-6245.

Waive Temporary Sign Permit Fee for St.
Williams Church; 6120 - 5th Street N.E.
St. Williams has applied for and received a temporary sign permit
to display a sign advertising their Family Fun Fest, which occurs
in April. The church paid both the $50.00 temporary sign permit
fee and the $200 deposit. The deposit will be refunded if the
sign is removed in a timely fashion.
St. Williams has requested that the City Council waive the $50.00
temporary sign permit fee. The Family Fun Fest is a fundraiser
for church activities. The sign is 3' x 5' in area and will be
displayed for two weeks in April. Chapter 214 of the Fridley
City Code permits the City Council to waive fees for non-profit
organizations if requested. This is the first time that St.
Williams has requested the temporary sign permit fee be waived.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve waiving the
temporary sign permit fee for St. Williams church.

FROM: John G. Flora,� Public Works Director
DATE: March 7, 1994
SUBJECT: Stinson Boulevard Improvements
PW94-071
Since last year we have been working with the City of Mounds View to joindy upgrade
Stinson Boulevard/Pleasant View Drive between 73rd Avenue and Osbome Road. Last
September we received petition No. 14-1993 from the Fridley residents for upgrading of the
road to 38 feet with parking on both sides and the installation of concrete curb and gutter
with an assessment not-to-exceed $8 per front foot.
Ramsey County has completed the plans and specifications for the project. We expect that
Ramsey County will also provide the construction inspection, construction surveying and
testing for the project. The City of Fridley has been requested to advertise and award the
contract, review the inspection and pay the bills. A Joint Powers Agreement will be
executed between the cities of Fridley and Mounds View for the payment of the contract.
It is understood that Mounds View will be paying 60% of the construction cost and Fridley
40%. This has been established based upon the storm water flows that the city will be
receiving from the Mounds View portion of the roadway. The street has been designated
as MSAS and MSAS funds will be requested.
In order to expedite the contract award for this spring, recommend the City Council approve
the attached two resolutions calling for the preliminary plans and setting a public hearing
for March 21, 1994.

SUBJECT: Resolutions Ordering Preliminary Plans, Specifications and Fstimates and
Calling for a Public Hearing for Stinson Boulevard Street Improvement
Project No. ST. 1993-7
The first resolution orders the preliminary plans, specifications and estimates for Stinson
Boulevard Street Improvement Project No. ST. 1993-7. This project eonsists of the
reconstruction and widening of Stinson Boulevard from 73rd Avenue to Osborne Road. The
reconstruction includes new gravel base, asphalt surface, concrete curb and gutter and storm
waier improvements in order to upgrade the existing street to current urban standards.
,.� ->,
The second resolution sets the public hearing for this project as March 21, 1994.
On August 18, 1993, a joint public meeting between Mounds View and Fridley was held to
inform the residents of the proposed street reconstruction project and answer any questions
they had. Twenty-four (24) residents had attended the meeting, the majority of which were
from Fridley. The residents opted for a 38-foot wide street with parking on both sides.
A petition was prepared and walked through the neighborhood by residents on the street.
Si�cteen of 18 residents or 89% signed the petition and agreed to an assessment not-to-
exceed $8.00 per front foot.
The reconstruction of Stinson Boulevard between 73rd Avenue and Osborne Road wiil be
a joint project between the cities of Mounds View and Fridley. The estimated cost of the
project is approximately $201,000. The costs will be shared between the two cities. This
section of street is currently in the process of being redesignated as State Aid and should
be eligible for State Aid reimbursement.
