Item Bell Museum Update/Presentation and Resolution of Support Description Recently, the City was approached by representatives of the Bell Museum in regard to the possible moving of the Bell Museum to the southwest corner of Larpenteur and Cleveland in the City of Falcon Heights. This same proposal was included a few years ago in 2 separate bonding bills which were subsequently vetoed by the Governor. State Representative Alice Hausman has once again introduced this proposal in this legislative session’s bonding bill and there is a good possibility it will pass. Representatives of the Bell Museum will be present at the Council meeting to provide an update and presentation on this development. Also, they are looking for the City Council to pass a resolution of support for this project.

Our efforts to serve students, educators and families are often frustrated by antiquated, inflexible facilities. Since the Legislature last voted to support a new facility in 2009, conditions at the Bell Museum of Natural History have continued to deteriorate. Irreplaceable state assets valued at more than $20 million are endangered by plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems from the 1930s that frequently break down. Basement flooding, corroded plumbing, rodent infestations, recurring mold problems ad wide temperature and humidity swings are a daily fact of life at the museum. While the building isn’t damanged beyond repair, a more welcoming, modern museum and planetarium would better serve our K12 students and excite them to pursue STEM careers. Project Cost for Phase 1: $47.5 million to construct a new museum and 120-seat planetarium Project Cost for Phase 2: $4.3 million for outdoor Minnesota science and nature observatory Minnesota’s Natural History Museum: Current Condition and Needs In 2011 the Minnesota Planetarium Society transferred its programs and assets to the Bell Museum, creating an integrated organization with even greater potential to address Minnesota’s STEM education needs. The museum’s evolving vision is that creativity and scientific literacy will flourish as people are inspired t ask about our place in the Universe. As a result, people will be moved to act and become teachers, researchers and community leaders in environmental issues.

Meeting Date March 27, 2013 Agenda Item F8 Attachment N/A Submitted By Tim Pittman, Director of Public Works REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Families, Fields and Fair __________________________ The City That Soars! Description Ordinance 13-01 is proposed amending the Falcon Heights zoning code to provide for certain special events by permit. Background In 2012, local business owners approached the City to hold occasional special outdoor events that are not allowed under existing city code. These events would be an extension of their usual operations into parking lot space, with or without a tent. At the request of the City Council, the Planning Commission undertook a study of special event ordinances in other cities and constructed a special event ordinance adapted to the needs and circumstances of Falcon Heights. The proposed ordinance adds to Chapter 113, the Zoning Code, a new Article VI, Division 4, providing for special events by permit (fees to be determined by the City Council) and setting standards for the orderly, compatible and safe use of private property for outdoor public events. Events with attendance less than 150 would be exempted from the permit requirement. The ordinance would not allow special events during the State Fair and one week before and after. A public hearing was held on February 26. There was no comment from the public. Following the hearing, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend adoption of the proposed ordinance. Staff recommends imposing a permit fee of $25.00. Budget Impact N/A Attachment(s) x Draft Ordinance 13-01 amending Chapter 113 of the City Code Action(s) Requested x Approve adoption of the Ordinance 13-01. x Approve the addition to the Fee Schedule of a $25.00 special event permit fee.
