CITY COUNCiL MEETING OF SE�PTEMBER 28, 1998 PAGE 2
PRESENTATTON:
Mr. Don Helmstetter, Superintendent of Independent School District No. 16, and Mr. Larry
Martini, Director of Fiscal and Human Resources for Independent School District No. 16, were
present to provide the City Council and the public with information about the upcoming excess
levy referendum for Independent School District No. 16 which will be held on November 3, 1998.
It was noted that the levy would cost the average homeowner approximately $9.07 per month.
However, with the tax credits that the legislature passed this past session, it would likely result in
a tax decease. The additional monies would be used to help address the deficit, stop the reduction
of staff, stop the erosion of student programs, and keep class sizes down.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the school district has experienced any organized opposition to
the proposed levy. Mr. Helmstetter stated that a hotline has been set up to address many of the
questions posed by residents. He noted that most parents are aware of the levy referendum;
however, they are working actively to get additional information out to all parents via mail and
expect to have the information out in the very near future.

Mr. Burns, City Manager, explained that legislation was drafted to address the issue of
small, non-conforming industrial lots that were created in the area bounded by the
Burlington Northern Railroad Tracks, Main Street, 79th Way and 77th Avenue in the
1960s and 1970s. In order to address these problems, a special district, encompassing all
but two of the lots in this area has been created. The requirements of the new district
replace the requirements of the M-2 zoning code. The new language will reduce the
required lot sizes from 1.5 acres to 10,000 square feet. It also reduces setback
requirements to conform with the setbacks of existing buildings in this area. In addition,
the minimum lot size for the M-2 district has been reduced from 1.5 acres to 62,000
square feet. The combination of the changes reduces the number of non-conforming
properties in this area from 54 to 4. The four non-conforming lots are confined to a small
area along 77th Avenue. The first reading of this ordinance was approve at the Council's
September 14 meeting. Staf� recommends approval of the second reading and seeks
authorization to publish the ordinance by of�icial title and summary.

ADDiTION TO AN EXiST1NG iNDUSTRiAL BUTLDiNG. GENERALLY
LOCATED AT 7500 COMMERCE LANE N.E. (WARD 3):
Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, explained that Mr. Zbikowski, owner of Toolkraft, Inc.,
requested a 17 foot variance (from 25 feet to 8 feet) to aliow the construction of a 100 foot by
200 foot addition to his industrial facility at 7500 Commerce Lane. The property is zoned M-2,
Heavy Industrial, and is surrounded by industrial properties.
On September 9, 1998, the Appeals Commission considered the rear yard variance to allow an 8
foot versus 25 foot setback; however, the item was tabled due to the absence of the petitioner.
Chairman Kuechle had a question about the property to the west and the relationship to the
proposed building. Mr. Hickok presented an aerial diagram to indicate the location of both
properties in question.
CITY COUNCiL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 28, 1998 PAGE 9
. In 1990, the City granted a variance from 25 feet to 8 feet for Humberto Martinez at 7786 Beech
_ Street N.E. The Appeals Commission recommended approval of this request at their

meet the current minimum landscape requirements; and 2) additional parking stalls be provided to
meet code requirements. The precise number of stalls shall be based on the use of the space
within the addition. Both of the stipulations were acceptable to the petitioner. MOTION by

SECTION 205.18.03A; AND TO MAKE A CHANGE �N TAE ZONiNG
DiSTRiCTS;
and
ADOPT ORDiNANCE TO PUBLISH OFFICIAL TiTLE AND SUMMARY:
Councilmember Billings stated that he believed the intent of the amendment was to have the
zoning code match what the City has in practice out in the fieid. If this is the case, it would seem
appropriate to reduce the minimum lot requirement in the M-2 district from 1.5 acres to 61,500
square feet, rather than the proposed 62,000 square feet. This would enable one additional
property to comply with the code requirements, thereby leaving only one other property non-
conforming. Mr. Hickok responded that this would be appropriate.
MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to approve the Second Reading of Ordinance No. 1118
and to publish the Official Title and Summary.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to AMEND the Ordinance as follows: 1) Under Section 2,
strike "62,000 square feet" and insert "61,500 square feet"; 2) In the third paragraph of Section II
of the Official Title and Summary, strike "62,000 square feet" and insert "6,500 sc�uare feet".
This would make the minimum lot size 61,500 square feet rather than 62,000 square feet.

Scott J. Hickok, Planning Coordinator
SUBJECT: Resolution Approving a Vacation Request, SAV #98-02, by Roslyn
Park Wesleyan Church, 5300 6`� Street.
On September 2, 1998, the Planning Commission considered a vacation request
by Gary Brewster, Roslyn Park Wesleyan Church. The purpose of their request
was to vacate an alley that bisects the Church property, thereby allowing the land
to be contiguous and to allow the Church to master plan for future expansion.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommended approval of vacation request SAV #98-
02, with 11 stipulations.
On September 14, 1998, the City Council considered this request and held their
decision off until the October 5, 1998, meeting (at the petitioner's request). The
petitioner asked that the resolution be re-worded to simplify the recording process
at Anoka County.
Note the resolution has been re-worded somewhat from the version first reviewed
by the City Council. The following changes were made:
1. Stipulation #1 was modified to not be specific to addresses, but instead to keep
an easement open for those needing access (new stipulation #2).
2. Stipulation #2 was modified to state that the City will retain an easement for
utility purposes (new stipulation #1).
3. Stipulation #3 was eliminated because at such time as the easement defined in
new Stipulation #1 is vacated, we will require the replacement easement.
4. Stipulation #4 became new stipulation #3
5. Stipulation #5 became new stipulation #4
2.01
6. Stipulation #6 had no changes •�.
7. Stipulation #7 became stipulation #5 .
8. Stipulation #8 became stipulation #7 and further defined the period of the hold
harmless.
9. Stipulation #9 became stipulation #8
10. Stipulation #10 became stipulation #9
11. Stipulation #11 became stipulation #10
The surveyor for the petitioner has spoken with the County Recorder's office and
believes that the revised version will be easier (and more economical) to record.
Staff has analyzed the changes and has determined that the City is adequately
protected with the stipulations as they have now been presented.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Concur with the Planning Commission's recommendation to vacate_ a portion of the
alley and approve the attached revised resolution.
