Conditional Use I~Zr. Edelman stated that the main problem seems to be the matter of
Permit - Falcon the traffic situation on the corner of Hamline and Larpenteur. He
Oil Car TrJash: presented the Council with a letter from E. C. Bather & Associates,
traffic consultants, dated December 12, 1968, stating the results
of a traffic survey of thatarea in relationship to the number of
cars the Car ~rJash may attract to that intersection. Mr. Bathers
stated that his only concern is with the traffic problem and the
possibility of the car wash generating traffic congestion. No new
openings have been requested for the car wash. No Left Turn would
be permitted onto Larpenteur - the median would and must remain where
it is. The Car ti~3ash would exa.t onto Hamline and would require a
No Left Turn onto Hamline so as not to jam up traffic. Someone
from the, staff on the property would take care of the congestion
in order to keep the intersection clear at all times.
The car wash uses approximately 100 ga7..l.ons of water a minute.
The F~ngineer asked what provisions had been made to dispose of
this water. The owners proposed that it would flow through the
storm sewer. .They were advised that the line is owned by the
county and flows into the pit below Hamline on Larpenteur and is
then pumped into Lake Coma. They advised that they had not checked
into the availability and capacity of the water main at that point.
The Council also advised that they were concerned with the unsightlyness
of the steam effect that the car wash would present. T~Zr. Druck,
General Manager, replied that i.t was a commonly accepted method of
giving fast service.
The Attorney advised that consideration was also being given to the
volume of noise resulting from the car wash. The owners stated
that they were willing to comply with the hours set forth for
operation by the Planning CarrmLi.ssion.
The problem of the car wash becoming a hang-out for young boys
was discussed. The Mayor advised that the neighbors were concerned
about young boys.araund the station and that seeing as the matter
has never been completely corrected it would seem that this would
only cause more of the same trouble. P4r. Druck advised that presently
a 48 year old man and his 29 year old son are operatir~; the station.
28I~
P~Ir. Edelman advised that he had been involved in these controversies
before and that if the Council left everything up to the citizens
the community would be nothing but citizens and no new businesses
would ever be permitted in.
N1r. Edelman proposed that since the water problem had arisen that
the pex~rnit be limited to a single bay. The Council was not in
favor of this as a one bay ~rould not be any more desirable because
then cars would be backed up farther and would be circling the
residential area waiting to get in.
ti.'hen asked about the problem of water running off onto the apron,
Mr. Druck replied that most of it would run onto the driveway and
that .was his responsibility.
Mr. Edelman stressed the point of a fair and unprejudiced new start.
He felt that if the Council would hear the matter under a new
application that both the parties would be doing the best they could.
Dog Nuisance at T~Tr. Richard C. Skogsbore of 1891 Tatum said that ti,Iilliam Anderson
1903 Tatum: of 1903 Tatum owns a. black labador which is a destructive nuisance.
The owners moved in last May and ever since the dog has wrecked
bushes, flower beds, and jumped fences. On the evening of January
22nd, the dog kept P~~r. Skogsborc awake until about 2:00 A.M. and
also woke up his children.
He stated that the Ramsey County Sheriff, B & E Patrol and
the neighbors have talked to TZr. Anderson but to no avail. The
Council stated that Mr. Anderson would be notified to appear. before
the Council at the next meeting.
New Tumblers for The Ena;ineer stated that it would cost about~l5 to X30 to replace
Clerk's Office: the present tumblers for the lock systems. The Council decided
to ta~,1e the matter for the present.
Fire Department The Attorney passed the rough draft over the desk of frank Moult en.
Legislation: Further changes consisted of elimination of monthly pension payments
in favor of a lump sum benefit and a ~./5th majority Council vote
for cYmges in the by-laws.
T;7orTQnen ~ s Compen- Black talked to T~Zr. Mortenson of Northland Agency about Ulorkmen ~ s
sation for Council: Compensation Insurance for the Council. The cost would be
approximately.~72.00 per year based upon the salary total of
p)~, 7L~0.00 per year for the Mayor, Clerk, Treasurer and Councilmen.
Black moved adoption of the follotrir~g resolution:
RESOLVED that the Village Clerk of the Village of Falcon
Heights acquire, on behalf of the officers and councilmen of the
Village of Falcon Heights, ~Torkmen~s Compensation Insurance
covering their duties as said officials.
