City's commitment to provide affordable housing. T'he Metropolitan Council provides to
each community an Affordable and Life-Cycle Housing Opportunities Amount
(ALHOA). The ALHOA is the minimum amount of local discretionary expenditures to
assist with the development or preservation of affordable and life cycle housing.
Fridley's 2002 ALHOA figure is $96. There are pragmatic reasons for continuing such
as the Livable Communities Act grant, which is looking for money to clean up polluted
sites. Staff recommended Council's approvaL
ADOPTED RESOLUTION NO. 59-2001.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 5, 2001 PAGE 3
5. MOTION TO APPROVE SNOW REMOVAL OPERATIONS POLICIES AND
PROCEDURES FOR THE CITY OF FRIDLEY FOR 2001 THROUGH 2O02:
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that the Street Supervisor has direct responsibility for
these operations. Snow removal begins when it stops snowing, except when there aze
heavy accumulations. In such cases, collector streets will e plowed as soon as the
accumulation creates hazardous driving. Snow removal, sanding, and salting crews are
alerted to hazardous driving conditions as is the Police Department. The crews complete
the collector streets first in about 4 to 6 hours. They then concentrate on ten plowing
districts, plowing local streets, starting at different corners in each plowing district. All
streets are cleared from curb to curb in about 12 hours. A major storm of nine or more
inches of accumulation has different emergency procedures, and the crews are divided
into two 12-hour shifts to plow a single lane on all streets. State and County crews
follow their own procedure. Staff recommended Council's approval.
APPROVED.
6. APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NO. 2 FOR STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
NO. ST. 2001-1:
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that the change order includes $24,925 for driveway
repairs that were not anticipated. It also includes a deduction of $56,840 for a watermain

recommended Council's approval.
APPROVED CHANGE ORDER NO. 2.
7. APPROVE 2002 CITY OF FRIDLEY HEALTH INSURANCE OPTION:

PARKING BAN MODIFICATIONS:
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to open the public hearing. Seconded by
Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE -
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 8:07 P.M.
Mr. Haukaas, Public Works Director, stated that this amendment proposes to change the ending r
date of our winter parking ban from May 1 to April 1. This is due to the citizen requests and
direction from Council.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 5, 2001 PAGE 5
Councilmember Bolkcom asked for background on the parking ban.
Mr. Haukaas stated that the current parking ban was adopted three winters ago. A majority of
the cities in the metropolitan area have a parking ban. Many have overnight pazking bans. This
adds efficiency to the snowplow operations. Staff did an analysis on what was being done. He
stated that the ban from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. allows staff to get out early and clear the red lone
streets prior to the morning rush hour. They had problems with snowbirds when the City did not
have the ban.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to receive the letter from Mr. Finkelstein into the record.
.
Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Jerry Finkelstein, the property owner of 5801 Second Street N.E., stated that he understands
the City's problem with the snowplowing and the ban. He has owned the property for about 15
years. Nine to ten cars park in the building's parking lot. His tenants aze concerned because
there is more than one vehicle per family, and the problem is that there is no room to move the
cars for snow removal. They can only park on the grass and it does not look good for the
community. Also, the grass will be ruined during a soft winter. There may be some other
compromises that would help everyone. Minneapolis and St. Paul have odd/even snow plowing
days. St. Louis Park has the same thing. The lease states that all cars have to be operable and
guests must park on the street. Please reconsider this ban for next year.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that there are different ways to do different things. We do not
advocate parking on the grass, but is an option during the winter. She asked about the area north
of the lot.
Mr. Finkelstein stated that part of that property is his and asked if Councilmember Bolkcom was
suggesting that he expand his parking lot?
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that it is an option.
Mr. Finkelstein stated that the City has an option of parking even/odd days. He would be glad to
expand the parking lot if the City gives him money. He has looked into putting garages on the
property that is vacant. Economically this does not make sense.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that Fridley does almost a 100 percent better job snow plowing
than Minneapolis because parking is a huge issue there. How much longer would it take to do an
even/odd method?
Mr. Haukaas stated that staff talked about going to the odd/even plan. Generally, that is done in
other cities because they are not physically capable of plowing all streets in 24 hours, and they
have parking issues. The most efficient way is the way we do it—within 10 to 12 hours. Going
to odd/even parking would mean plowing only half the streets. It would take 12 hours on the
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 5, 2001 PAGE 6
first day and 8 hours on the second. All those areas that are parked on would generate
complaints, and there are safety concerns on icy days.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that after the streets are plowed, crews go back and do other
thin�s like clear cul-de-sacs.
Mr. Haukaas stated that cul-de-sacs and intersections are opened up better generally the second
day after the storm.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that there was some low interest loan money available for
expanding parking lots.
Mr. Hickok stated that he believed it was for code issues being brought into compliance with the
limited resource of funding.
Mayor Lund asked how old the building was.
Mr. Finkelstein stated that he thinks it was built in the 1970's.
Mayor Lund asked if there was a significant increase in cars and traffic in general.
Mr. Finkelstein stated that in the 1970's there were a required number of parking stalls and it is
grandfathered in now.
Mayor Lund stated that as a community ages, single car use is outdated. We see you have a
problem. Things do become obsolete and changes have to be made. The City made a change in
the ban three years ago because the ban was outdated.
Mr. Burns stated that the parking ban is a problem in the area south of the interstate with the
parking ban because of all the cars parked in the street.
Mr. Finkelstein stated that he wants to complement the reasoning and explanation. There are
more cars and people living on his property. St. Louis Park has an outstanding snow removal
service and they do not have bans on every street. Golden Valley has the same thing.
Minneapolis and St. Paul have more areas to cover. His problem is that the City is saying that he
could build a parking lot but he does not see the City coming up with any money. He should not
encumber himself because of that option.
Mayor Lund stated that he understands there is a hardship but they cannot make ordinances that
are going to influence or affect people in all regards. He also has commercial property with
limited parking. He screens possible tenants about their future car needs.
Councilmember Billings stated that if the street is not plowed curb to curb overnight, there is no
parking on the street the next day.
Mr. Haukaas stated that was correct.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 5, 2001 PAGE 7
Councilmember Billings stated that one of the main reasons for imposing the winter pazking ban
was to try to get people accustomed to not parking on the street overnight in case it snowed
overnight. This requires people to have cars off the street all the time so they are not in a mad
rush at the time it snow•s.
Mr. Haukaas stated that was correct.
Councilmember Billings stated that if you are on the street at 3:00 a.m. and the street is not
plowed, you have the potential of getting two tickets for violation of the snow emergency and
one for violation of the overnight parking ordinance.
Mr. Haukaas stated that was correct.
MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember
Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 7:50 P.M.
OLD BUSINESS:
12. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY CODE OF THE
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA, TO REPEAL CHAPTER 113, ENTITLED
"SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING COLLECTION" AND ADOPT
A NEW CHAPTER 113, ENTITLED "SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL AND
RECYCLING COLLECTING" (TABLED SPETEMBER 17, 2001):
Ms. Jones, Environmental Planner, stated that she put together a comparison of the current code
and what is proposed. The current code pertaining to solid waste management states that the
City does not allow garbage containers of more than 32 gallons unless approved by the City.
The proposed language does not allow garbage containers over 32 gallons unless the container is
provided by the hauler and approved by the City. In the current code, containers cannot be
placed on the curb on collection day and must be within 3 feet of buildings. In the proposed
code, containers may be placed at the curb only on collection day. In the current code,
containers must be screened from the view of the street. The proposed code allows containers to
be stored in view of the street but not in the front yard setback. In the current code, yard waste
can be placed at the curb in yard bags or bundles. In the proposed ordinance, yard waste can be
placed at the curb in bags only until the next collection day. In the cunent code, recycling
service fees or utility bills are set by ordinance. The recycling service fees were changed so that
they could be set at smaller increments rather than large increases. In the current code, owners
of large apartment buildings need to provide recycling collection of three categories of
recyclables. In the proposed code, owners of large apartment buildings need to provide recycling
collection of four categories of recyclables which is a State requirement. In the current code there
is no notification of labeling, placement, or accessibility reqizirements for multi-unit recycling.
In the proposed code, it states owners must notify tenants annually of recycling services and
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 5, 2001 PAGE 8
make sure they are labeled and accessible as garbage containers. The cart must also be kept on a
paved surface so it is accessible year round.
Ms. Jones stated that in the current code, theft of recyclables is illegal. The wording has been
changed, making it a misdemeanor. In the current code, composting is permitted on residential
property. In the proposed code, it is permitted on residential and publicly owned property. In
the proposed code, compost areas may not be placed closer than 25 feet to a waterway or 20 feet
to a dwelling unit on an adjacent property. in height. In the current code, there are no
requirements for maintaining a compost area. In the proposed code, it states the compost area
must be maintained in order to prevent odors or a public nuisance. In the current code, there are
no prohibitions on the length of use of large construction waste bins. In the proposed code,
construction waste bins may not be at the location more than three consecutive months. In the
current code, the term of solid waste hauler license is from May 1 to April 30 and the recycling
license is from June 1 to May 31.
Ms. Jones stated that in the current code, there are six different types of hauler licenses and the
proposed ordinance has four different types of hauler licenses: for residential, commercial waste,
recycling collection, and construction and demolition waste. The current code requires
information about vehicles used, scheduled services and disposal location. The proposed code
requires information on the number of customers, the fee schedule, a route map, and a
description of containers provided to the customers for refuse. the proposed language states that
the hauler must carry $500,000 general liability as well as Workers' Compensation insurance for
employees.
Ms. Jones indicated that the current code does not have recycling requirements placed on the
haulers. The proposed code requires recycling collection of four categories based on the multi-
unit owner's requirements, so there cannot be any dispute. The current code does not have any
procedures for revocation of a hauler's license. The proposed code established procedures for a
hauler's license revocation far lack of compliance with code.
Ms. Jones stated that the language proposed is what Staff is recommending.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that the proposed language states that gazbage may be placed
out at the curb the day before collection up to 9:00 p.m. the day of collection.
Ms. Jones stated that was correct.
MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to waive the reading and approve the ordinance on first
reading. Seconded by Councilmember Wolfe.
Councilmember Barnette stated that Ms. Jones has done a very good job in listening to
comments and preparing the ordinance.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 5, 2001 PAGE 9
13. RESOLUTION APPROVING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE CITY
OF FRIDLEY AND AUTHORIZING STAFF TO DISTRIBUTE TO THE
METROPOLITAN COUNCIL (TABLED OCTOBER 8, 2001)•
Mr. Hickok, Community Development Director, stated that this is a planning tool intended to
help guide the future growth and development of the community. It ties various elements of the
City together. The chapters include the Preface, Community Vision, Community Overview,
Land Use, Housing, Transportation, Park, Trails, and Open Space, Sanitary Sewer, Critical Area
Plan, and Plan Implementation. In 1997, the City of Fridley began its process of updating the
Comprehensive Plan. Metropolitan Cities were required to do that by a date certain. Several
planning areas were broken down into sizable work groups and there was good turnout for the
work groups. In July 1998, staff worked with Hoisington/Koegler Group, Inc., to rewrite the
Comprehensive Plan. In October of 1999 local water plans were due to the Metropolitan Council
and were dovetailed in lieu of our Comprehensive planning process. On December 13, 1999,
City Council authorized staff to submit their amendments to the Comprehensive Plan along with
the local water plan. The review of the plan by Metropolitan Council occurred in late 2000.
Minor modifications were suggested. In March of 2001, staff received a list of modifications
and a letter from the Metropolitan Council. Staff worked with the consultants to make those
changes and distribute those changes to the City Council and Planning Commission. The City's
Surface Water Management Plan and other chapters required minor modification and the
Metropolitan Council approved that document on June 7, 2001. Tonight, Council must pass a
resolution signifying concurrence with the final document and authorizing staff to distribute the
document to the library and to administrative staff. Staff recommended approval of this
resolution to utilize the plan as a tool in future decision-making and updating as required.
Councilmember Barnette asked why the City needs to comply to a non-elected body such as the
Metropolitan Council and what would happen if the City of Fridley did not submit the plan?
Mr. Hickok stated that the City of Fridley is required to follow the Municipal Land Planning Act
that requires a Comprehensive Plan. We are governed by a regional planning agency for our
utilities and roadways. That system requires a Comprehensive Plan in compliance with State
law. The City would be in non-compliance with State law and subject to penalties, if a plan was
not submitted. We plan to use the document to help understand what our citizens want and to
help make future decisions.
Councilmember Barnette stated that this requirement is passed by the State legislature, not by the

SP #01-12
REQUEST
The petitioner, Troy Findell is seeking a special use permit to allow the construction of a
780 square foot second accessory building. The building will be used to store vehicles and
recreational equipment.
ANALYSIS �`
The property is located on 69th Avenue, with the home being "squared up° to and frontir�g=- `-
on 69`h Avenue. The dimensions of the lot are 104 ft. by 278 ft. and iYs a rectangular
shape. The existing home was built in 1951, the existing single stall garage was built in
1956, and there was an addition to the home in 1963.
Existing home and attached garage
Accessory structures over 240 square feet are a permitted special use in the R-1 zoning
district. The existing one-stall garage is 513 square feet and the proposed accessory
structure is 780 square feet. The existing garage, plus the proposed accessory structure
are a total of 1,293 square feet, which is 107 square feet less than the total allowed by
Code.
The proposed garage location meets all setbacks requirements. City staff received one
comment from a neighboring property owner who was concerned about setback
requirements. Staff did a site visit and measurement and it appears that the existing slab
15
is five (5) feet from the property line. City Code requires that accessory buildings located
in the rear yard be a minimum of three (3) feet from the property line.

SUBJ ECT: Additional No Parking Signs at 65`� Ave & TH 65 West Service Drive
We have received a petition from the residents in the area of 64`� Avenue and the TH 65 West
Service Drive requesting additional "No Parking" signage be installed on the inside of this corner.
The request is consistent with the Minnesota Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices and will
increase safery at this intersection through enhanced visibility and reduced congestion.
The Public Works Department will call Gopher One Call for locates and install these signs next
week.

PROPOSAL FOR NO PARKING SIGN POSTING AT CORNER OF 64TH AVE N. E.
AND THE W HWY 65 SERVICE DRIVE.
BECAUSE OF THE MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING IN THE 1000 BLOCK OF 64TH AVE
N. E. AND IN T'HE 6300 BLOCK OF THE W HWY 65 SERVICE DRIVE, MULTIPLE
CARS ARE BEING PARKED ON THE STREET.
THE EAST SIDE (NORTHBOUND CURB) OF THE SERVICE DRIVE IS POSTED
NO PARKING TO EASE THE CONGESTION OF PERSONS BACKING OUT OF
THE OFF STREET PARKING INTO THE ROADWAY.
CARS ARE BEING PARKED ON THE SOUTH SIDE (EASTBOUND CURB) OF 64TH
AVE N. E. UP TO AND IN THE CURVE.
PARKING AT THE EASTBOUND CURB, IN THE CORNER AREA, IS CAUSING
CONGESTION AT THE CORNER BOTH FOR TRAFFIC AND STREET
MAINTENANCE.
THIS PROPOSAL IS TO ERECT NO PARKING SIGNS BEFORE AND AFTER THE
CORNER TO PROHIBIT PARKING IN THE CORNER AREA.
AS PER THE DRAWING THE SIGN COULD BE POSTED ABOUT 20 FEET PRIOR
TO THE START OF THE ARC OF THE CORNER ON 64TH AVE N. E. AND 10 FEET
SOUTH OF THE END OF THE ARC ON THE W HWY 65 SERVICE DRIVE.
THIS WOULD LEAVE PARKING FOR ONE VEHICLE ON THE STREET, TO THE
EAST OF THE OFF STREET PARKING AREA FOR THAT ADDRESS AND
RELIVE THE CONGESTION AT THE CORNER.

Public Hearing to Consider License Revocation for Spikers Grille & Beachclub
The City of Fridley received a Notice of License Revocation from the Minnesota Department of
Revenue due to a taxpayer over liability. Chapter 270.72 of the Minnesota State Statutes requires a city
to hold a public hearing to consider revocation of all licenses held by Licensee if the Commissioner
notifies the licensing authority the applicant owes the state delinquent taxes, penalties, or interest.
The licenses in question are:
l. General License (which includes Food Establishment, Entertainment, Billiards),
2. Liquor License and
3. Charitable Gambling Endorsement License.
Section 603.17 of the Fridley City Code states the City Council may suspend or revoke any license for
the violation of any provision or condition of any city, state or federal law. Section 603.18 requires a
public hearing before the City CounciL
Spikers was notified on September 28, 2001, by letter notifying them of the proposed hearing.
Arrangements have been underway for sale of the building that they currently lease. The closing was to
occur in October, however, due to all of the parties involved, the closing was re-scheduled for Friday,
November 16, 2001. I have been notified by Patrick Pelstring, President, of the proposed closing. Their
plans are to pay the Department of Revenue after the closing as well as the remainder of the city license
fee.
As required, a Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Fridley Focus on November 15, 2001 and
the notice has been posted. If the closing does take place and the payrnents are made, this item may be
removed from the agenda. If, however, the closing does not take place, the Council will need to hold
public hearing.

Continuation of Public Hearing Regarding 5800 Tennison
INTRODUCTION
As you know, the City Council has a public hearing that was opened on August 13,
2001. Council chose to hold the hearing open pending the report from the Hearing
Officer. The hearing can now be concluded since the report has been filed. The Pubic
Hearing before the Council is for two reasons: to allow the property owner and other
public an opportunity to hear the issues and have their comments heard and to meet
statutory requirements for a hearing regarding the abatement of nuisances and
assessment of all costs incurred to the property.
HISTORY
On May 15`h, John Seward, Humane Agent, Animal Humane Society, contacted the City
of Fridley. Mr. Seward contacted the City of Fridley Police Department to assist with an
inspection of the residence. A criminal search warrant was used to gain access to the
home. Once inside the Humane Officer, Fire Marshal, and a City Building Inspector
inspected the property. Nine dogs and a cat were evident in the home. All but 2 dogs
and a cat were signed over to the Humane Officer.
The existence of this number of dogs (in a residential setting) without a kennel permit is
a violation of Code Section 101.04.08, which states: An animal nuisance exists when,
"Any lot or premises on which four (4) or more dogs or cats, at least six (6) months of
age, are kept in non-residential zones that meet the City's zoning requirements for a
kennel license".
Unfortunately, in the original inspection, the Anoka County Health inspectors and the
Chief City of Fridley, Building Official were not present to fully assess the structure, its
full health risk, and its continued viability as a residential structure. As a result a second
administrative search warrant was issued and investigation completed. Staff identified
finro specific violations of State Law that exist. These are:
45
Concern about 1997 Uniform Building Code Section 102 — Unsafe Buildings or
Structures - The inspection records from the Fire and Building divisions indicate floor
and wall systems have been drenched by what appears to be years of urine and
fecal matter on the floors and lower walls. These wall and floor systems may have
been structurally compromised.
2. Concern about violation of City Code Section 110 Public Nuisance —(Ref. Minnesota
Statutes Sections 609.74 and 609.745) - Evidence of mice and potentially rats were
present. A dead mouse was observed in a dish in the refrigerator of the home.
As for sanitary facilities, the owner had shut off her plumbing at a valve near the water
meter in the home. As a result, no toilet, bath or shower facilities were available to the
individual who occupies the structure. Evidence of dumping fecal matter (both human
and animal) down the basement floor drain exists. No floor grate exists above the
opening, and we believe that this condition may allow rats to enter the home at this
location.
In June of this year, after the second inspection, an official determination was made that
an unsafe building exists at 5800 Tennison Drive. The classification was due to an
abundance of fecal matter (animal and human), open water/sewer systems, no working
toilets or working sinks, questionable electrical service, a leaking natural gas line behind
the dryer, and potential structural deficiencies due to years of structural abuse and the
lack of maintenance.
WHERE DID THE HEARING OFFICER FIT IN?
By statute, an owner of a property that has been deemed unfit for habitation must be
given the opportunity to repair or demolish the property. Three options are consequently
offered the homeowner at the time of posting the property as unfit. One of the options is
to be entitled to have the matter heard by a Hearing Officer. The Officer could
conceivably determine that the City was incorrect in its evaluation of the property. Ms.
Garber chose the hearing option and the hearing was held on August 30, 2001. The
Hearing Officer reviewed all documents including the original warrants, staff summary
reports, Anoka County Health and Human Service Reports, and the Humane Society
documents.
At the hearing, Ms. Garber indicated that she had "$70,000 more if necessary" and that
she intended to have the home ready to reoccupy by October 15, 2001. Toby (Shelley's
son) stated that at that time they had completed the extermination on the property,
removed the clutter from inside, and that they had obtained a roofing permit to re-roof
the house. They submitted an Orkin extermination bill indicating that extermination had
been completed on site. Based on this statement from the Garbers, staff held off with the
scheduling of Council's Public Hearing allowing the homeowner time to complete the
work (with her own money). To date, the re-roofing job has been completed, the
chimney has been repaired, one 30-yard roll-off dumpster full of debris has been
removed from the site. Another 30-yard dumpster's arrival was delayed by the street
reconstruction on Tennison Drive, the chimney has been repaired on its exterior and a
new garage door has been installed.
. �
HEARING OUTCOME
In Early September, staff received the official report from Hearing Officer; James D.
Gurovitsch, regarding the home at 5800 Tennison Drive N.E. There were no real
surprises in the report. Mr. Gurovitsch's conclusions stated the following:
• The residence of Shelley Garber at 5800 Tennison Drive N.E. in the City of Fridley is
an unsafe building and a public nuisance within the meaning of the Uniform Building
Code and Fridley City Code Section 110.02
• The City's actions were justified and in accordance with applicable laws.
STAFF CONCERN
Contrary to her comment made at the August 30, 2001, hearing, the work was not
completed by the anticipated date. Granted, street construction did limit the ability to get
to and from the house for a period, but no apparent work, other than a new garage door
has commenced.
A letter from Ms. Garber, written October 27 indicates that she is aware of the rest of the
project as follows:
1. A/l doors and (garage)
2. Plumbing and electrical contracting
3. Removal of all unwanted items
4. Check and Repair all windows
5. Professiona/ power cleaning — ceiling repairs
6. Professional inspection for the rest by experts in conjunction with City Inspector
thoroughly and carefully — nof done to date — not possible
7. Complete work — painting projecfed date December 15t`' to finish for final inspection —
re-evaluated due to special circumstances mentioned (tom up impassable street and
re-organization of funds.)
As outlined by Ms. Garber, there is staff concern regarding the comment about power
cleaning and painting. The interior of the home is beyond power cleaning. Ms. Garber's
son had indicated to the City Building Official that the home would be "gutted" and
rebuilt. Conditions inside the home would require that approach. At this point, Ms.
Garber identifies an inspection as being necessary, but not complete to date. As of this
date, no inspection has been scheduled and no additional timeframes established, with
the exception of a new self-imposed, unrealistic completion date. In a phone
conversation with Ms. Garber, she indicated to staff that she believed the need for
replacement of floor and wall materials to be debatable and subject to her inspecto�'s
determination. These are not debatable improvements according to stafFs professional
assessment of damage due to years of accumulated urine, fecal matter, and rot.
Meanwhile, the home sits empty and still vulnerable to insects, rodents, and trespassers.
�
HEARING ON PROPERTY CONDITIONS, ABATEMENT OF THE NUISANCE,
ASSESSMENT OF COSTS
As you are aware, prior to the City expending public dollars to fix and then assess a
property owner for correction of unsafe conditions, a public hearing must be held. As a
result, the City Council did open a public hearing for this purpose on August 13th. At that
time, staff recommended that the Council keep the hearing open until after a Hearing
Officer returned with his/her opinion. The August 13th portion of the City Council's public
hearing was a good opportunity to hear the concerns of citizens and to allow for a staff
update to the Council. The hearing has remained open.
Once the hearing is closed, Council may act on a resolution (later in Monday's meeting)
approving City expenditure and assessment of the property. If Council chooses that
alternative, the City will then ask for authorization from the Anoka County Court to either
demolish the property or re-enter, make all necessary repairs and complete necessary
clean-up, and assess the property for all costs. Staff anticipates costs of reconstructing
fecal damage structural elements may exceed $70,000.00.
The alternative of demolishing the house is not out of the question. Grant Fernelius
estimates the cost of demolishing the structure will be $20,000. Unsafe structures can be
demolished if the governing body deems that to be the best resolution for an unsafe
condition. Frankly, full City inspection efforts were impeded by the amount of
accumulated debris and personal items in the home. The home is unfit to live in at this
time; however, the question of structural viability has yet to be answered.
Staff believes that in spite of the Garbers' intentions, the hearing should be continued
and a resolution approved. The resolution should authorize abatement and allow staff to
proceed to Anoka County for Court authorization for abatement. If the abatement proves
to be unnecessary, one does not need to be performed. If, on the other hand,
abatement is necessary, we have not lost any time by proceeding in this fashion.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council continue the public hearing and take additional
comments on November 19, 2001.

Resolution Ordering Demolition of Hazardous Building at
5800 Tennison Drive N.E.
BACKGROUND
In June of this year, after the second inspection, an official determination was made that
an unsafe building exists at 5800 Tennison Drive. The classification was due to an
abundance of fecal matter (animal and human), open water/sewer systems, no working
toilets or working sinks, questionable electrical service, a leaking natural gas line behind
the dryer, and potential structural deficiencies due to years of structural abuse and the
lack of maintenance.
CURRENT STATUS
To date, a re-roofing job has been completed, the chimney has been repaired on its
exterior, a new garage door has been installed, and one 30-yard roll-off dumpster full of
debris has been removed from the site. Another 30-yard dumpster's arrival was delayed
by the street reconstruction on Tennison Drive.
Contrary to Ms. Garber's comment at the August 30, 2001, hearing, the work was not
complete by the anticipated date of October 15, 2001. Granted, street construction did
limit the ability to get to and from the house for a period, but no apparent work, other
than a new garage door, has commenced.
A letter from Ms. Garber, written October 27 indicates that she is aware of the rest of the
project as follows:
1. All doors and (garage)
2. Plumbing and e/ectrica! contracting
3. Removal of all unwanted items
4. Check and repair a/l windows
5. Professional power cleaning — ceiling repairs
6. Professional inspection for the rest by experts in conjunction with City
Inspector thorough/y and carefully — not done to date — not possible
7. Complete work — painting projecfed dafe December 15th to finish for fina!
inspection — re-evaluated due to special circumstances mentioned (tom up
impassible street and reorganization of funds.)
.•
As outlined by Ms. Garber, there is staff concern regarding the comment about power
cleaning and painting. The interior of the home is beyond power cleaning. Ms. Garber's
son had indicated to the City Building Official that the home would be "gutted" and
rebuilt. Conditions inside the home would require that approaeh. At this point, Ms.
Garber identifies an inspection as being necessary, but not complete to date. As of this
date, no inspection has been scheduled and no additional timeframes established, with
the exception of a new self-imposed, unrealistic completion date. In a phone
conversation with Ms. Garber, she indicated to staff that she believed the need for
replacement of floAr and wall materials to be debatable and subject to her inspector's
determination. These are not debatable improvements according to staff's professional
assessment of damage due to years of accumulated urine, fecal matter, and rot.
Meanwhile, the home sits empty and still vulnerable to insects, rodents, and trespassers.
PROPERTY OWNERSHIP
City records indicate that the property is solely owned by Ms. Garber and has no
mortgage. The property is legally described as: Lot 8, Block 2, Parkview Heights Addition
and is more commonly known as 5800 Tennison Drive.
Ms. Garber will be served with the appropriate legal notice of Council's action.
HAZARDOUS BUILDING STATUTES
Under State law, the City can order the removal or repair of "hazardous" buildings. The
process works as follows:
1) Council adopts a resolution ordering the demolition or repai� of the property.
Resolution identifies the substandard conditions of the property and allows the
owner to correct /demolish the structure within 20 days (December 10, 2001).
The resolution describes the actions the Council will take if the owner fails to
respond.
2) Owner of record is notified of the Council's order.
3) If the owner does not respond by the deadline and take action, the City would
go to court to enforce its order. If the owner does not contest the issue, the
Court can issue an order to enforce the City's resolution. The judge will then
set a date upon which time the City can proceed with the demolition.
4) Demolition occurs and the costs are assessed against the property.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution ordering demolition of 5800
Tennison Drive N.E.
Note that in the resolution - Staff recommends that since in her letter of October 27,
2001, the owner of the property stated that she will have all matters resolved and the
home ready to occupy by December 15, 2001, that Council allow that date to be the date
certain for completion, rather than December 10, 2001, as prescribed by the statutory
20-day date from the approval of the Council resolution.

WATER RATE INCREASE FOR 2002
Date: November 14, 2001
As part of the budget work done this year we indicated that the Water Fund has not seen an increase
in rates since 1996. This fund's operating income after payment of its debt has been operating at a
deficit. We are recommending an increase for 2002, but because of the recent local initiative to limit
the amount we can increase the rates, it will be limited to 4%.
We are recommending that the water rates be increased to $1.04 for the consumption under 5,000,000
gallons and $1.09 for consumption over 5,000,000 gallons per quarter. This increase would be
effective the first billing in January of 2002.
Staff is recommending the water rate change for 2002.

STORM WATER RATE INCREASE FOR 2002
Date: November 14, 2001
As part of the budget work done this year we indicated that the Storm Water Fund has not seen an
increase in the REF rate since 1996. This fund is projected to be operating at a loss without an
increase. We are recommending an increase for 2002, but because of the recent local initiative we
are limited to an increase of 4%.
We aze recommending that the REF factor be increased to $8.73 per quarter. You might recall that a
residential lot was defined to be 1/3 of an REF acre. The quarterly cost for storm water would then
be $2.91 per quarter for a residential lot. This increase would be effective the first billing in January,
2002.
Staff is recommending the storm water rate change for 2002.
