For the most part, the old franchise agreement has been in need of some language and technological updating and there has been little disagreement as to these issues. In addition, however, changes in the nature of the industry have placed addition competitive pressures on the industry. The Internet has, according at least to industry representatives, made changes in public expectations regarding publication and use of telecasting facilities. Competition with satellite transmission has put considerable pressure on cable companies, and the period of the current franchise has been one of significant consolidation of the industry nationally These changes were manifested in several ways during the course of the discussions. In particulax, we found the cable company to be singularly focused on costs and cutting back services in non-revenue areas, such as local access. The cable company balked at the cost of annual reports, preferring an "as needed" approach to financial and general reports. The cable company wanted to shut down or minimize operations within the City, in the service center in particular, and resisted City efforts to direct programming. They were interested in minimizing or eliminating the level of their participation in local access programming. For our part, the City adopted the posture throughout the discussions of wanting to improve service, to have full Internet access for the City and the School District provided by the Franchisee, and we raised the possibility of the City receiving the current studio facility as part of any new agreement. We took the position that local programming and access were historically important elements of cable service in the City of Fridley and needed to continue at current or improved levels. Within the past month, discussions have become more focused on the "nitty-gritty" issues related to local production, government access, facilities and service. These discussions have reached a point where both parties agreed that it would now be necessary for each to return to the decision- making authorities for both for review and direction. The topics can be seen to be related inasmuch as the willingness of either side to concede on some key points would be related to the willingness of the other to agree on the other point. Discussion Items: The matters for review are as follows: The Company has offered to transfer to the City all title and interest in its current building in the City to the City. Would the City want the facility? 2. The School District has agreed in principal to taking over responsibility for local origination if the current funding follows. They would presumably be able to utilize students for part of this effort, the Company would agree to a one-time equipment grant, including truck and remote equipment to the District for this purpose. Would this be acceptable to the City? 3. High-speed Internet access would be provided to all City and School District facilities at no cost to either entity. Still unaddressed would be the issue of dedicated channels for future data for the District and the City. At this point, the City would need to consider releasing one of the four public channels back to the Company as a consideration for these items and the building. 4. In other communities, the Company has been permitted to operate a facility for bill payments and equipment pickup and drop-off in a non-owned, leased facility, such as a Cub Food supermarket. They would like to do so in Fridley, provided the City agreed on accepting its building. 5. The Company will need to agree to provide "as-built" drawings of all of their facilities to the City's engineering department. 6. The Company has requested to limit reports to those requested of it by the City rather than a mandatory annual report that they indicate is, from their viewpoint, only a summary of the regular reports they have been submitting on an ongoing basis to the City's Cable Commission. Other issues outstanding are of a more technical nature and will require simple verification of a number of matters by the Company. Agreement on these issues will likely result in an acceptable agreement to the Company. I will, of course, gladly answer questions regarding these and any related matters at the Council's work session on January 13. Fritz Knaak �� CRY OF FRIDLEY Date: To: DISCUSSION ITEM CITY COUNCIL CONFERENCE MEETING OF JAN UARY 13, 2003 January 9, 2002 William Burns, City Manager �� From: Scott Hickok, Community Development Director Paul Bolin, Planning Coordinator Stacy Stromberg, Planner Subject: Proposal to Develop a Home Occupation Ordinance M-03-10 INTRODUCTION As you are well aware, home occupations are only discussed and regulated through the definitions section of the City Code. In a nutshell, the ordinance states that any home occupation shall be incidental to the principal use of the home and shall not change the residential character of the home or neighborhood. The home occupation definition found in the City Code does not provide very clear or detailed regulation of home occupations and seems to be plagued by poor wording and organization. The current definition lays out some basic criteria / performance standards prohibiting the outdoor storage of goods, retail sales, and restricting employees to members of the immediate family. The current definition also states, under the same section, that professional offices, minor repair services, photo or art studios, dressmaking, teaching and similar uses are acceptable. Fridley's past attempt to regulate home occupations through a definition, rather than through an actual ordinance, can only be described as a"Fridleyism". There are no known Cities in the metro area, the state, or the rest of the country that attempt to regulate home occupations through a simple definition. All surrounding communities have separate home occupation ordinances that generally contain a list of permitted uses, prohibited uses, and specific performance standards. Community Development staff asked the Council and Commission in the 2001 Survey about developing better regulations for home occupations. The results were rather disappointing; 3 Council members said to leave the code as is, the Appeals Commission split 2 to 2, and 23 of 37 Commission members felt the current language is fine. The same question was asked of the Council and Commissions in 2002. The survey results and feedback at the Commission and Council joint meeting in April indicated that there was growing support to reexamine our current ordinance. The survey itself indicated that 20 of the respondents, including 2 Council members, were in favor of creating a detailed home occupation ordinance. Seven more members, including 1 Council member, would create a detailed ordinance and require business licenses. The remaining 12 respondents, including 2 Council members would keep the ordinance/definition as it is. Discussion at the joint meeting indicated that 8 of the attendees were in favor of developing a detailed ordinance, 2 attendees thought we should keep the existing language, and 1 attendee thought we should explore the issue more. Attached, you will find a draft of the elements to include in a detailed home occupation ordinance. Staff has compiled the draft from successful home occupation ordinances we have developed for other communities. PLANNING STAFF RECOMMNEDATION Encouraged by the results of last years survey and discussion at the joint meeting, unless otherwise instructed, Staff will proceed with developing a detailed home occupation ordinance. Staff intends to work with the Planning Commission to further refine and draft an ordinance based on the elements essential to make it successful. At minimum Staff would propose correcting grammatical and syntax errors in the existing definition. DRAFT OF ELEMENTS TO INCLUDE IN HOME OCCUPATION ORDINANCE Definition Home Occupation - An occupation carried on, secondary to the primary use of the residence, by an occupant of the residence that does not change the character of the neighborhood. Intent The purpose of this ordinance is to maintain the character of the residential neighborhoods, by ensuring the compatibility of home occupations with other permitted uses in the residentially zoned districts of Fridley. This ordinance is designed to prohibit any home occupations that are objectionable, incompatible, or illegal in the residential districts. Permitted Occupations commonly PERMITTED in other Communities Sewing and tailoring Jewelry making, jeweler Writing Laundry, ironing service Telephone answering Locksmith Tutoring Real estate sales or broker Home cooking and preserving Wallpapering Computer programming Watch repair Secretarial service Small engine repairs Day care Upholstery Consulting services Barber shops Drafting and graphic services Beauty parlors Financial planning Tourist homes Flower arranging Gardening, landscape maintenance Home crafts Insurance sales or broker Interior design Television & radio repair Professional Office of: at a time. -physician -dentist -lawyer -engineer -architect -accountant House cleaning services Art studio Dressmaking Musical instruction limited to two pupils Home Occupations commonly PROHIBITED in other communities. Ambulance service Vehicle painting/Body shops Appliance repair Photo developing Automobile repair Television repair Boarding house Welding shop Carpentry Ceramics Contracting Health salons Gyms Limousine or cab service Mortician Palm reading, fortune telling Massage Parlors Catering Churches Gift shops Medical or dental clinic Rental businesses Veterinarian Stables or kennels Tow truck services Skin care What about those uses not on the list? Those occupations not covered by list shall require Planning Commission and City Council approval. Applications for home occupations not on the approved list must adhere to the following procedure. Once an application is received for a home occupation, not appearing on the permitted or prohibited occupation list, a zoning text amendment would be processed and the Planning Department will make a recommendation to the Planning Commission based on similar uses and experiences. Dependent upon the decision of the City Council the proposed occupation application will then be permitted or prohibited in Fridley. Each decision, by the City Council, will be used to update the list of permitted and prohibited home occupations. Once a home occupation is on either the permitted or prohibited list, Planning Commission and City Council approval shall not be required for that use in the future, as the use will be permitted or prohibited based on it's classification on the list. ❑ The time necessary to process a zoning text amendment is the only downfall to the approach of utilizing "permitted" and "prohibited" occupation lists. ❑ Staff would work to develop a comprehensive list of "permitted" and "prohibited" occupations through polling other communities, researching emerging trends in home occupations, and drawing upon the knowledge of our Planning Commission. ❑ This approach would make prosecution of illegal home occupations much easier, as there would be no question as to whether or not the use is allowed. Potential Conditions and Performance Standards Any occupation engaged in by the occupant of a dwelling must meet the following conditions and perFormance standards. 1. No equipment shall be used which created offensive noise, vibration, sound, smoke, dust, odors, heat, glare, or electrical disturbance to radio or television reception; 2. The maximum storage area for stock in trade shall be kept at or below ten percent of the gross floor area of the building housing the home occupation business; 3. No exterior alterations shall be made to the structure; 4. There is no exterior storage of material or equipment; 5. There is no exterior display or sign except those normally found in and permitted in a residential area; 6. Existing home occupations that do not comply with the provisions of this ordinance shall be considered as a non-conforming use. 7. No unreasonable use of materials or mechanical equipment not recognized as being part of and compatible with normal household use shall be permitted. 8. The use shall not generate pedestrian or vehicular traffic beyond that reasonable or normal to the district in which located. 9. It shall not involve the unreasonable or inappropriate use of commercial vehicles for delivery of occupational materials to or from the premises. 10. No accessory building or space outside of the principle building shall be exclusively used for such purposes. 11. No special space within the principle building shall be designed or arranged for such use so that it may require internal or external alterations or involve construction features not customary to dwellings. 12. No employees, other than the occupants of the principle use, shall be permitted. Review and Compliance Procedures All home occupations to be carried on incidental to a principal use, under the provisions of this ordinance, shall be required to obtain a valid Home Occupation Permit from the City prior to operation. All home occupations lawfully operating at the time this ordinance is adopted shall not be exempted from this requirement, and must apply for a home occupation permit within one year of the adoption date of this ordinance. Procedures for home occupation permits are as follows: 1. The applicant shall submit a written request to the Zoning Administrator for the home occupation permit. The request must describe the nature of the occupation, equipment involved, estimated client/customer volume, and hours of operation. 2. The Zoning Administrator will review the application for conformance to the conditions set forth in this ordinance. The Zoning Administrator shall issue the permit, without further action, if the occupation is in conformance with this ordinance. 3. All home occupation permits will be valid for one year. A renewal application must then be submitted, to the Zoning Administrator, noting any changes in the operation of the occupation. 4. Failure to comply with any of these sections may result in revocation of the home occupation permit. (Since this is also a section of the City Code, it is possible to issue criminal citations for violations of this ordinance) 5. A fee to defray permit review and issuance costs may be set by the City of Fridley Council and changed as necessary. This fee is non-refundable and due at the time of application for the permit. ❑ Issuing any sort of a permit would be optional, but beneficial. o Would enable Code Enforcement Staff in addressing neighborhood complaints about traffic, delivery vehicles, etc., without going through criminal court process. (revocation of home occupation permit for violations rather than a criminal citation) o Emergency responders would be aware of any special equipment or materials that may present a hazard to them in the event of an emergency. (example: large amounts of turpentine & wood used by a home craft business would be useful information for firefighters to have prior to responding to a call) o Fees are also optional, but staff would recommend a small fee to cover staff processing time.

Haukaas, Public Works Director DATE: January 8, 2003 SUBJECT: Jackson Street Groundwater Issues PW03-008 For several years we have known about and been dealing with the issue of sump pump water being discharged onto Jackson Street north of 73rd Avenue. We receive complaints every year from residents about the algae and smell of the constantwater in the gutter during the summer and the ice buildup in the winter. Both cause somewhat dangerous situations. This year has been equally bad and probably worse than most due to the high groundwater levels we experienced. In 1998, the residents approached the City asking to find the source of the water and come up with a solution. From the information in our files, it appears the issue was dropped due to the cost of the study. Most times dealing with the source of the problem is the best way. Groundwater seems to be one of the situations where the source is simply too extensive to be economically corrected. Several other cities and consulting engineers all agree with me on this point. Therefore, it may be best to deal with the resulting problem directly. Specifically, let the sump pumps collect the water entering the basements and create some rype of collection system to handle the discharge. There are a couple of reasons to pursue this issue. First, we believe these residences to be switching their sump pumps over to the sanitary sewer during the winter in violation of the Ciry Code. Requiring them to pump out into their yards all winter could create large frozen areas in their yards that would probably overflow into the streets anyway. Second, allowing the discharge into the sanitary sewer is considered illicit discharge that the MCES is trying to eliminate. Clean water in the sanitary sewer takes up needed capacity at the MCES plants. We are charged for this volume of water without being able to fully recover the costs.

There are a total of 48 alleys plus one alley previously vacated but still used by multiple properties. Two alleys in the summary below are split into two different categories and recommendations of their use. Attached is the summary of recommendations, full inventory and a flow chart of how the recommendation of each was achieved. JHH:cz Attachment SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS ► 1 piece previously vacated but used by several properties. Rec: Notify users of requirement to pave. Could be paved by Ciry and assessed through nuisance abatement process. ► 1 piece with one end vacated, other end blocked and center section gravel and used regularly. Rec: Vacate and require users to pave or pave and assess adjacent properties. ► 1 piece that is partially gravel and partially grass with no need for access by adjacent properties. Police see this as a problem area. Rec: Open up and pave through, assessing adjacent property or regrade and block access. ► 5 pieces are gravel and partially used by several properties Rec: Pave and assess adjacent properties. Users to continue to maintain. ► 3 pieces are gravel and connect through, used regularly. Rec: Pave and assess adjacent properties. City to maintain in future. ► 19 pieces are blocked by fences, brush, sheds and other encroachments. Rec: As these pieces are unlikely to ever be opened up for use, the Ciry should vacate and turn the properry back to the adjacent parcels. ► 7 pieces are grass but open and infrequently used by adjacent properties to access their back yards. Rec: No action, preserve these alleys for public use. ► 5 pieces are partially paved and maintained by those users. Rec: No action. ► 9 pieces are paved through and maintained by the Ciry.
