Maurer will come back with a draft of the assessment policy addressing the items discussed. Council also requested that a map be prepared categorizing the different street uses. PROPOSED AMENDMENT RELATING TO REGULATION OF DOGS DISCUSSED Carol Carlson explained that the purpose of the proposed amendment is to make it more convenient for the Roseville Animal Control Officer to deal with a situation when a dog has bitten someone. The present wording in the Code is different from the Roseville wording forcing the officer to follow two sets of rules. Following a short discussion, Wallin moved adoption of Ordinance 0-89-11 which carried unanimously. ORDINANCE 0-89-11 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 5-2.07 AND 5-2.09 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO REGULATION OF DOGS MINUTES JULY 14, 1989 PAGE 2 DISCUSSION - REQUEST FROM DENNIS HUNT, BULLSEYE CENTER, THAT THE CITY WAIVE THE TAX DELINQUENCY PROVISION OF THE CITY LIQUOR LICENSE REQUIREMENTS Dennis Hunt, owner of Bullseye Center, explained that he is interested in applying for a liquor license for a proposed liquor store in his center. This is presently prohibited by City code due to the fact that Bullseye has not paid the real estate taxes for the last half of 1988. He stated that Bullseye Golf is in bankruptcy proceedings (Chapter 11) and in order to make the reorganization work it is necessary to have a cash flow, which is not the case at present due to vacancies in the building. For this reason he requested the City waive the requirement that taxes be paid before a liquor license can be issued. He also stated that he plans to pay the back taxes at 1,500 per month over a three year period. Baldwin advised Mr. Hunt that the residents of Falcon Heights already have $400,000 invested in the center (bonds) and the only way to protect the residents from paying double taxes on the Bulleye property is to have the taxes paid to cover the bond payments. Following a lengthy discussion Council agreed that it would not be prudent to grant Hunt's request at this time as there is no reason to believe that deleting that portion of the liquor code would solve the problem. If Hunt can provide assurance that this is the best way to cover taxes Council would again discuss the matter. DONATION TO SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT LAKES AND TRAILS RESERVE UNIT Wiessner explained that in 1988 Council authorized a donation of 500.00 to the Lakes and Trails Reserve Unit for extra traffic patrol services for special events at the State Fairgrounds, however due to an oversight the check was never issued. Wiessner requested that Council authorize issuance of a check in the amount of $1,000 to cover the 1988 donation of $500.00 plus 500.00 for the year 1989. Ciernia moved approval of the request which carried unanimously. PERA CONTRIBUTION INCREASE Council noted that there will be an increase of $218.00 in the City's PERA payments for the remainder of 1989 due to changes in the State Law. AMBULANCE BID AWARDED TO ROAD RESCUE, INC. Fire Chief Leo Lindig reviewed the bids received from North Emergency Vehicle Sales, North Central Ambulance Sales and Service, and Road Rescue, Inc. He then recommended awarding the bid to Road Rescue, Inc., based on the fact that they submitted the low bid and met specifications. Following a brief discussion, P. Chenoweth moved awarding the bid to Road Rescue, Inc., which carried unanimously. Lindig also requested that the old ambulance be kept as a back-up. Council asked that the item be placed on the July 26th agenda for discussion. MINUTES JULY 14, 1989 PAGE 3 M-75 BUILDING MAINTENANCE SERVICE Wiessner explained that there have been some problems with the present cleaning service, ie. missed cleans, poor work, etc., and, therefore, bids were requested from other cleaning firms. After evaluating the eight bids received, Staff recommended signing a contract with M-75 Building Maintenance Service based on cost and favorable references. Council concurred. ADMINISTRATOR'S EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT AMENDED Baldwin commented on Council's favorable assessment of the Administrator's work in the past year and recommended that the salary be increased to $41,500 annually, retroactive to the anniversary date. Also discussed were changes in sections of the agreement relating to vacation time and insurance benefits to be in compliance with the benefits offered other employees. Following the discussion, Wallin moved approval of the salary increase and amendment of the vacation and insurance items in the agreement. Motion carried unanimously. WORKSHOP WITH PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION SCHEDULED FOR 7:00 P. M., 8/14/89 Council scheduled a workshop with the Park and Recreation Commission for 7:00 P. M., August 14, 1989 to discuss future park plans. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 9:04 P. M.

Construction will be as indicated in the diagram he attached to his application and indicated the structure will be painted green to blend with its surroundings. Carroll moved, seconded by Daykin, to approve the Permitted Accessory Use as requested. Motion carried unanimously. Barry arrived at 7:44 P.M. Chairman Black opened the Public Hearing at 7:45 P.M. an the Request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a parking lot in R-1 Single Family District as requested by Dennnis Hunt on a lot owned by George Peck, 1546 Crawford Avenue. Such Public Hearing Notice was published in the Focus Newspapers at June 28, 1989. Barry questioned whether the conditional use request should be considered based upon the fact that Mr. Hunt does owe back property taxes. Also, the future use of the shopping center should be considered before acting on the request. After further discussion, Carroll ~a!ved, seconded by Barry, to continue the Public Hearing to August 7, l~ if, and only if, Mr. Hunt has provided the necessary requested information. Motion carried unanimously. Dave Black and Planner Malloy reviewed the background of the Code Amendments as chronologically Iisted in the agenda attachments. Planner Malloy stated that the Plaming Cotmission may want to reconsider its action taken at its June 5th mewing in its motion for a code amendment change on page two, paragraph three, to use the conditional use permit process. TY-e use of the conditional use permit in this instance may be awkward because it requires every accessory structure on a corner lot to be put through the conditional use process which means requiring a public hearing and fees associated with the request. At the last meeting some Commission members had also expressed concern about the criteria and felt there ues a better way to handle such situations.

RE: Summary of Residential ~An-lendment Process BACKCROtTND Over the course of the past several ~.~ave been working with the Planning Commission on a variety of issues. g them, and the subject of our review this evening, has been the amendm'City's Residential Setback Standards, in response to the changing needs and the citizehs of Falcon Heights. A recent Supreme C;ocrt decision a precedent making it prudent for municipalities to insure that their lal~ad zoning regulations are administered fairly, and that complete and acrura~Iamrda are kept during the process of administering planning and zoning ~i "mt~~wanson vs. Bloomington). This has made the job of dealing with the already ria fer variances in the State Statutes more difficult! With this i~l mind, a>~iilg the number of variance requests the City has received for minor impro as sheds, fences, and garages in the last few years, it made sense to recon~i~aek standards. During the derision process, which the recommended amendments you will be reviewing, the Plarring Commissia~ed many variables. One of them was the desire to balance the changing nee~idents with the policies in the Comprehensive Plan. In the Plan, >.adopted in 1980, a high priority was placed on the preservatioi of a "srltl~"~t'~rillage" atmosphere. Although these terms are not defined they inspire marrow, tree lined streets, small lots, and relatively small, well maintained hc~rs.,character of much of the older portions of Falcon Heigtlts reflect these idea. Ali town" atmosphere could be threatened if new more relaxed s e:adopted which encourage improvements more suited to suburban scale lots. lsafety with respect to sight distances for vehicular and pedestrian traffic were.ai^~idered. Ordinances from several r Mayor and City Council Members Page 2 communities: with similar conditions w;;rc reviewed and alternative standards were considered. The wording of these amendments was also carefully written to avoid contradictions with other sections of the Code and to assure they would be correctly interpreted. CHRONOLOGY By the April Plan.-ung Commission meeting, the details ofl~ amendments were worked out and a motion to recommend the amendments to ~ouneal was approved. Unfortunately; the pacY.age you received on May 9th dici ~t iaclude a key portion of the proposed amendments; Section 9-4.01 Subdivision 4{b} sand 4(c). These are the sections which establish the corner side yard setback at ~ scent of the lot width, rnd revise the sine zrd r:~r yard se~.ba~its for inie:ior k>isshowir Oil the u-iciosul copies of the recommended amendments. Therefore, wh+d~~ "reviewed the setbacks for accessory structures you did not have the information rel the proposed corner side yard setback (20 }.~rcent of lot width). At this point, the s'ter was referred back to the Flannina Commission with a sketch illustrating the Cot's intent with respect to setbacks 2nd a s»geestior, that the conditional use permit process be considered as a. me*hod to contn~l the setcacks for accessory structures on garner lots. In respense to the Council's suggestions, the Planning Conunssion reconsidered the issue at the June Planning ~_.:,mmissi~n meeting. A.s a result, thtwording of the setback standards nor accessoryy Structures vas modified by removing the word "corner"from both paragraphs in the proposed amendment to Section 92fi4 Subdivision 1(c) . The ~' revised wording ndv applies the one foot standard to yarda:A through E as illustrated on the sketch. from the Council. The concept of using the conditional use process ujas also reviewed and approved by a 4 to 3 vote. Lt was after this neetizg that David Black, Jan Wiesaner, and i determined that the Council did not have the complete package when they reviewed the setbacks a,;d referred the issue back. to the Commission. The siSa~ of this can be understood if you consider the impact of the following. Section 9-2.44_.~ubdivi.~ion 2 (e) requirea accessory structure on a corner lot to recP ct the setback 4`~tablished for the prtnctpat structure or. the lot. Since we had revised the corner side ~tard setback for principal structL: es to 20 percent of the lot width (from 30 feet} we ~'ectively modified the wrner side yard :setback at the sar-:e time. Thi, tranxtatesto a corner side yard setback fur as:esso~tV structures of 10 feet fora 50 foot lot, 32 feet fora 60 foot lot, etc. y CURR;`'.NT PROPOSED A11'iENI}hiE\"I'S At this months Planning Commission meeting, the matted described above and the option of using the conditional use permit for controlling comer s~cie yard setbacks was discussed further, before the opening of the Public Hearit~, :I reiterated my recommendation that while the conditional use permit can tae used to control setback standards, and in fact is used in exactly this manner eLsewbere in the City's ordinance, it is an awkv~~ard tool for controlling such standards in a residential situation for two reasons: 1) It requires a fee for every application 2) It requires a public hearing. Designing a standard that accomplishes the desired effect is a much easier solution to administer. The Commission believed, as I do, that, for mast ituations, the 20 percent Mayor and City Council Members Page 3 corner side yard standard for accessory structures allows the"~xibility necessary for making improvements, on corner lots, without sacrificing safety or the aesthetic appeal of adequate corner side yards. However, we also recommend Ott for lots less than 75 feet, where the 20 percent standard will allow a garage closer ~ the corner side lot line than 15 feet, side yards narrower than 15 feet should o~ntyb~e aIlowed when the vehicular access door does not face the street. This provides sac sight distances for vehicular traffic entering onto side streets from corner lots'and.::alleys. Finally, rather than achieving this standard by reference through Section 9-2.04 Subdivision 2 (e)`pa paragraph was drafted describing the ~ far accessory structures on corner lets which would be included as the third paragraph in the amendment to Section 9-2.04 Subdivision 1(c )j. When considered in their e12irctg•, tl;c proposed amendm+e~ts~p~resent a reasonable comprehensivL solu'i:,n to the setbacks issue, and we tha~~'submit them as such for your review.

T0: TERRY MAURER FROM: TOM MADIGAN T N`~ DATE: JULY 12, 1989 SUBJECT: TATUM STREET/ST, MARY'S STREET SOD WORK FINAL INSPECTION During the week of July 3, 1989, the sod was placed in the boulevard on Tatum Street and St. Mary's Street by Doug Geist, the Contractor hired by the City to complete this work. An inspection was made by Paul Summers and myself of the work progress. A minimum of 4" of black dirt was placed prior to laying of the sod. Mr. Geist delivered, as the sod was placed, a flyer prepared by Falcon Heights indicating that water must be placed continually by residents in order to assure proper growth. In some cases, when residents were not home, the Contractor took it upon himself to talk to a neighbor or to locate a hose and water it himself. It should be noted that the islands along the commercial property on St. Mary's, because it could not be watered, was not placed. Based upon discussions with City staff, it was agreed that the City maintenance staff would seed these areas later this summer when temperatures drop. Actual quantities for placement of sod break down as follows: Tatum Street 1683 S.Y. @ $3.86 = $6,496.38 St. Mary's .Street 123 S.Y. @ $3.86 = $ 474.78 Finally, although many of the residents who received sod, have watered it, many have not done a sufficient enough job to date to keep some of it from turning brown. Specifically, the house with the garden at the corner of Larpenteur, the apartment buildings on that same side, along with 1786, 1745, 1748, 1768, 1776 and 1809.

However,we do feel that we should be compensated for the expense that weC' experienced.We would accept those monies which would have been expended on our behalf to restore our boulevard had we not already taken care of it.

Cadnments were made regarding the offer to deduct the X150.00 for messenger deliveries, the fact that the Pees are being paid by bond proceeds or the developer does not justify the charge, and more detailed billing will be required in the future. Also discussed was the number of deliveries by messenger, some of which were not deemed necessary, and in some cases duplicate documents, charges for research hours on subjects the attorneys office had approved previously, anti delays due to other commitments. Council directed staff to keep a record of these types of problems for the review in June. Hard moved, seconded by Chenoweth, payment of the Briggs and Morgan statement. Motion carried unanimously.
