POLICY AGENDA:
1. Resolution for Roselawn Reconstruction
Administrator Worthington and Parks and Public Works Director Hoag presented the Council
with information regarding the background and process for completing the Roselawn
Reconstruction. Administrator Worthington asked the council to approve the resolution for the
Roselawn Reconstruction. She outlined the steps of the 429 process -step 1: approval of the
resolution ordering the preparation of a feasibility report; step 2: receive the feasibility report and
order the public hearing; step 3: publication of hearing notice and mailing to residents; step 4:
hold the public hearing and order preparation of plans and specifications; step 5: approve the
plans and specifications and order advertisement for bids; step 6: award contract; and step 7:
build project. Administrator Worthington then outlined the actions needed post-construction -
• step 1: council approval of resolution declaring cost to be assessed and order preparation of an
assessment roll; step 2: resolution receiving proposed assessment roll and set hearing date; step
• 3: publish public hearing notice and mail notice to residents; step 4: affidavit of mailing
assessment hearing notice to the US Post Office; step 5: assessment hearing before City Council;
and lastly approval of a resolution adopting the assessment roll.
Administrator Worthington then explained the City of Falcon Heights has held meetings outside
of those required by the 429 process in an effort to very participatory. Those resident meetings
were held on 6/21/05 and 9/15/05. The next meeting will be held, as recommended by residents
at the 9/15 meeting, on 10/22 at 10:00 a.m. The City will let residents know where the starting
point will be for the walk-through, and will notify residents by mailing during the week of
10/3/05. Administrator Worthington reminded residents that all plans and specs are available at
each meeting, and feedback is encouraged through letters, phone calls, or a-mail.
Mayor Gehrz stated she was very pleased with the resident meetings at the start of the project,
and the input from residents has been very useful.
Councilmember Kuettel asked about the City's assessment policy, and Administrator
Worthington replied that the policy was adopted in the late 1990's, and has been amended to
state that the residents who were subject to assessment at the end of the reconstruction program
were not penalized by paying a higher per-linear foot rate that those who paid an assessment at
the beginning of the city's street reconstruction program. The per linear foot is the same for each
resident. Administrator Worthington stated that staff will recommend assessment of the
residents on Roselawn who are eligible. Those who are not eligible will not have to pay, as they
were assessed in the 90's on the other side of their property for the NE Quad. Councilmember
• Kuettel stated that in Falcon Heights, assessments are allowed only on one side of a resident's
property, unlike St. Paul.
Councilmember Talbot asked about the assessment amount percentage, and Administrator
Worthington stated that staff was still working on the exact number, and it would be addressed at
the next meeting. Councilmember Talbot then encouraged residents to turn out for the walk-
through.
Councilmember Lindstrom asked about the assessment stated in the resolution and wanted to
know whether the Falcon Heights assessment policy matched up with the State statute.
Administrator Worthington explained that cities can adopt their own assessment policies, but
have to follow the process outlined by statute.
Councilmember Talbot moved to adopt the resolution 2005-12, Resolution Ordering Preparation
of Feasibility Reports for Roselawn Street Reconstruction Project, motion passed unanimously.
2. Resolution adontin~ traffic signal maintenance agreement between Falcon Heights Roseville
and State of Minnesota.
Administrator Worthington began by stating the agreement was negotiated between the three
parties after the turn-back of Roselawn Ave. by Ramsey County and has been reviewed by both
cities and their attorneys.
Parks and Public Works Director Hoag explained the background of the agreement by talking
• about the previous agreement and the EVP (Emergency Vehicle Preemption, or opticom). An
EVP (or opticom) is the device that receives signals from emergency vehicles that control the
white lights on stoplights, which in turn control traffic when emergency vehicles come through
intersections. Hoag explained the cost spread between the three parties with Falcon Heights
responsible for the electric costs only and holding no semaphore maintenance responsibility.
Hoag told the council that Roseville's cost will be roughly $360 more per year as compared to
Falcon Heights estimated costs. Ramsey County is no longer a part of the agreement as they
have turned-back Roselawn to the cities, however MnDOT is still a party to this agreement.
Councilmember Kuettel reiterated the agreement by stating that Falcon Heights will handle the
electricity costs, while Roseville will handle the maintenance. She also explained the logic
behind this agreement because of Roseville's access to a boom truck, which would give them the
ability to reach the signals. If this were Falcon Heights responsibility, the City would have to
rent this type of vehicle.
Hoag added that the proposed $1000 per year for the electric costs is a high estimate according to
Xcel. Ramsey County told Hoag that historically LED lights, which were installed for greens
and reds throughout the city, have cost them about $50 per month, so the new technology is a
cost savings.
Councilmember Lindstrom added that an EVP would be beneficial on the Roselawn semaphore,
and asked how to make it happen. Hoag explained that he had been in contact with the state
• about adding an EVP on the semaphore at Roselawn, however the state told him that they will
not install one there for their use since they don't have the need to use them. EVP's are cities'
responsibility to install. Councilmember Lindstrom asked that staff research this, while Mayor
Gehrz proposed a partnership with Roseville for installation of an EVP in the future.
Councilmember Talbot asked Hoag to comment on any foreseen conflict with the other parties in
the agreement. Hoag answered that people still think it is a county road, and when they do
contact the county, the county is very good about communicating to the cities.
Councilmember Talbot then asked whether or not the city has existing lights that could be
transferred over to LED lights. Hoag responded that everything Xcel has offered for rebates the
city has converted, however many of the yellow lights are not converted yet, simply because of
the short time span they are lit. The City will replace them with LED lights as they burn out, but
is not making it a point to change them over to LED presently.
Councilmember Kuettel moved adoption of Resolution 2005-13, Resolution Adopting Traffic
Signal Maintenance Agreement between the City of Falcon Heights, City of Roseville, and State
of Minnesota (MNDOT).
Councilmember Lindstrom then reminded the council that staff will do more research on the
Opticom at Roselawn and Snelling, but did not wish to add that provision to the resolution.
Resolution 2005-13 passed unanimously.
Councilmember Kuettel then asked if Roseville passed this resolution, and Hoag answered the
Council did pass it 5-0 on their 9/26/05 meeting.
3. Consideration of an enaineerina contract with the City of Roseville
• Administrator Worthington began by explaining the contract and negotiation between the two
cities over the last 5 months. She explained that due to the understaffing at H.R. Green, Falcon
Heights contract has been allowed to lapse. Currently, there are 2 people left in their municipal
section, and Falcon Heights began exploring other options, including contracting with a
neighboring city this summer. She explained that as afully-developed city, engineering tasks are
increasingly routine, with jobs like crack sealing .and seal coating among the major tasks.
Administrator Worthington stated that Roseville has also been approached by Arden Hills to
undertake their engineering duties. Roseville will be hiring one full-time staff person for Arden
Hills' use, and Falcon Heights will be able to utilize this staff person. Worthington explained
that the agreement allows for a payment of 1.9 times the base salary of the staff utilized. Falcon
Heights estimates that the city will pay approximately $10,000 per year at the 200 hour billed
minimum. This figure is based on the forecasts of upcoming projects that engineering services
will be used for. Under the new contract with Roseville, Falcon Heights will be saving money as
opposed to with the H.R. Green agreement. Administrator Worthington stated that the 200 hours
is a minimum for billed hours, not a fixed rate.
Councilmember Talbot asked who we have worked with in the past at Roseville. Administrator
Worthington answered the City has worked with Deb Bloom and Dean Findell. Parks and Public
Works Director Hoag added that Dean is the project coordinator, and has been working on the
draft drawings for the Roselawn Reconstruction project.
Administrator Worthington stated that Roseville approved this contract 5-0.
• Councilmember Lamb stated his pleasure at Falcon Heights being able to share services with
other cities, especially in this time of budget constraints and strapped finances. He added that
this is a positive step, and that sharing services is one of the ways small cities can survive.
Councilmember Lindstrom listed the number of shared services Falcon Heights has by naming
the IT contract with Roseville, building official with Little Canada, police with St. Anthony,
water and ambulance with St. Paul, and the providing of fire service to Lauderdale.
Councilmember Kuettel added she is excited again to move into a joint powers agreement with
another city to share services.
Councilmember Lindstrom asked how this agreement matches up with the last contract with
H.R. Green. Administrator Worthington replied this agreement is in line and in the ballpark with
the past engineering contract, within budgeting and spending, and very fair.
She explained that if Falcon Heights goes over, the City pays an hourly rate above the 200 hours,
and if we are under 200, there is no refund to the City. She added that the City will have access
to Roseville's GIS system and will be able to get our maps and GIS data updated -something
that there is not enough staff to handle presently.
Mayor Gehrz added that Arden Hills will be utilizing this staff engineer for their TCAAP project,
and there will be a lot of engineering required. She asked if Roseville would be hiring another
staff person to handle this project, or if Falcon Heights have to share that staff person with the
huge armory project. Administrator Worthington replied she had spoken to the Arden Hills
• Administrator earlier, and they are sti112-3 years out on that project. Arden Hills is trying to
staff-up going into that project to a full-time in-house position. She added that in negotiations
with Roseville this topic was addressed, and Roseville and Falcon Heights feel staffing will be
not an issue.
Parks and Public Works Director Hoag explained that there is an outside chance that if a
specialty project arises, there is the possibility they hire out a specialty engineer. He added there
is also a landscape architect on staff with Roseville that Falcon Heights will be able to use.
Administrator Worthington added that both city attorneys have reviewed this agreement, and
have approved of it.
Mayor Gehrz asked for a motion, Kuettel moved to adopt a contract for engineering services
with the City of Roseville, motion passed unanimously.
Information/Announcements:
Councilmember Talbot commended Parks Coordinator and Administrative Assistant Anderson
for her good work over the past six months, and is looking forward to Anderson being with the
City for a long time. He added a reminder of the 10/22 street walk-through on Roselawn for the
reconstruction project.
Councilmember Lindstrom reminded residents of the 10/18 meeting regarding the Bell Museum
at 7:00.
Mayor Gehrz commended the CERT team for their help and assistance during the last Bell
meeting, since it was held during the storm on 9/21.
Councilmember Talbot added that the CERT team helped make the voyage to the basement
during the meeting seamless, and asked residents to continue to be active in this group.
Councilmember Kuettel reminded residents there is still time to sign up for parks/rec programs.
She added that the elm trees lost during the 03-04 year will be replaced within the next couple of
weeks, and that letters will be going out regarding this. She also stated that Falcon Heights
Elementary is interested in holding a food drive, and they have asked to attend another City
Council meeting. She asked that we keep this in mind the next time any issue comes up that may
be of youth interest.
Administrator Worthington explained that parks/rec registrations went out with the newsletter or
the forms are available online.
Mayor Gehrz asked about the clean-up day on 9/24 and garage sale on 9/17, and Administrator
Worthington replied they went well.
Mayor Gehrz adjourned the regular City Council meeting at 7:50 p.m.

IRS Increases Mileage Rate Until Dec. 31, 2005
IR-2005-99, Sept. 9, 2005
WASHINGTON -The Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department announced today
an increase to the optional standard mileage rates for the final four months of 2005.
The rate will increase to 48.5 cents a mile for all business miles driven between Sept. 1 and
Dec. 31, 2005. This is an increase of 8 cents from the 40.5 cent rate in effect for the first eight
months of 2005, as set forth in Rev. Proc. 2004-64.
"This is about fairness for taxpayers," said IRS Commissioner Mark W. Everson. "People are
entitled to deduct the real cost of operating a vehicle. We've responded to the recent gas
price increases by making this special adjustment so taxpayers get the tax benefit they
deserve."
In recognition of recent gasoline price increases, the IRS made this special adjustment for the
final months of 2005. The IRS normally updates the mileage rates once a year in the fall for
the next calendar year.
"With many predicting a decline in gas prices over coming months, we will hold off on setting
the 2006 rate until closer to January," Everson said. Next year's rate could be lower than 48.5
cents.
While gasoline is a major factor in the mileage figure, other items enter into the calculation of
mileage rates, such as the price of new vehicles and insurance.
The optional business standard mileage rate is used to compute the deductible costs of
operating an automobile for business use in lieu of the extra burden of tracking actual costs.
This rate is also used as a benchmark by the federal government and many businesses to
reimburse their employees for mileage.
The new four-month rate for computing deductible medical or moving expenses will be 22
cents a mile, up from 15 cents for the first eight months of 2005. The rate for providing
services for charitable organizations is set by statute, not the IRS, and remains at 14 cents a
mile.
The annual Revenue Procedure includes limitations on who is not eligible to use the standard
mileage rate.

ITEM: Resolution for All-Hazard Mitigation Plan
SUBMITTED BY: Heather Worthington, City Administrator
EXPLANATION:
Summary
In mid-2005, Ramsey County asked all cities in the County to pass a resolution stating that they
would participate in a mitigation planning process in order to develop an All Hazard Mitigation
Plan.
Falcon Heights passed that resolution unanimously, and did participate in the planning process.
The plan is now done, and Ramsey County is asking each municipality to adopt the plan.
Ramsey County will continue to administer the plan, with the input and participation of
individual cities.
This will satisfy the requirements of the federal law requiring all cities and counties to adopt an
. All Hazard Mitigation Plan, and eliminate the need for Falcon Heights to draft and adopt a
separate plan at great expense in time and dollars.

ITEM: Variance requests for 1347 Larpenteur Avenue
SUBMITTED BY: Deborah Jones, Zoning and Planning Coordinator
REVIEWED BY: Heather Worthington, City Administrator
Soren Mattick, Campbell Knutson
EXPLANATION:
Background/History/Property Description:
1347 West Larpenteur, PIN 152923340132, is located at the northwest corner of the intersection
of Larpenteur Avenue and Hamline Avenue in Falcon Heights. The legal description is "Except
for road easement, the east 96 28/100 feet of lots 8 and 9, Larpenteur Villas." The parcel is
approximately 96 feet wide by 172 feet deep, with an area of approximately 16,553 square feet.
The property is zoned B-1 "Neighborhood Convenience District" and has been used for local
commercial enterprises for at least 45 years, most recently as a chiropractic clinic. The
Hamline/Larpenteur intersection has commercial uses on all four corners, in Roseville and St.
Paul as well as Falcon Heights. 1347 Larpenteur is adjacent to R-1 single family residential
property on the north and west. The existing improvements consist of a principle structure built
in 1959 and a parking lot on the north side of the building.
• The 1347 La enteur arcel is bein sold to ether
iP p g g with the vacant parcel immediately to the
west. The second parcel, PIN 152923340020, is 50 feet wide by 172 feet deep and is zoned R-1.
The parcel has no address and no structures; the only improvement is landscaping and a section
of the parking lot for 1347 Larpenteur. Although this parcel is separate from the B-1 property
and has different zoning, it is visually and practically (but not legally) part of the 1347
Larpenteur parcel and is listed and taxed as "commercial" under County land use definitions.
The prospective new owner of the two parcels, Dr. Omar Awad, requests a setback variance of 8
feet on the east (Hamline Avenue) side of the building to construct a new entrance foyer and
porch. The proposed new entrance is part of a general remodeling of the existing building for
use as an eye clinic, a permitted use in B-1 zones. The west side of the building presently does
conform to the required 30 foot setback, but there is no room to build an entry without a
variance. The reasons for building the new entry on Hamline are
• The present entrance facing Larpenteur is not easily accessible to patients parking behind the
building.
• An entrance facing Hamline would present a more welcoming facade to the community than
an entrance facing the parking lot.
POLICY H2
• 10/12/05
Additional notes:
• The existing building is nonconforming with respect to setback on the west side, but no
change is proposed on that side and no variance is requested on that side.
• The applicant is not applying for rezoning of the 50 foot parcel or lot combination of the two
parcels at this time.
Analysis•
a. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare.
Staff finds that granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare.
b. That the granting of the variance will not substantially diminish or impair property
values or improvements in the area.
Staff finds that granting the variance will not substantially diminish or impair property values or
improvements in the area.
c. That the granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of
• substantial property rights.
Staff finds that granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of
substantial property rights. It is reasonable and desirable for a business to have a main entrance
that is both welcoming and attractive to the community and accessible to customers and
employees.
d. That the variances will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
property.
Staff finds that the variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
properties.
e. That the variance will not impair the orderly use of the public streets;
Staff finds that the variance will not impair the orderly use of public streets.
f. That the variance(s) will not increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety;
Staff finds that the variance will not increase the danger of fire or endanger the public. safety.
POLICY H2
• 10/12/05
g. Whether the shape, topographical condition or other similar characteristic of the tract
is such as to distinguish it substantially from all of the other properties in the zoning
district of which it is a part, or whether a particular hardship, as distinguished from
mere inconvenience to the owner, would result if the strict letter of the Chapter were
carried out.
Staff finds that the characteristics of the property do not distinguish it substantially from other
B-1 properties in Falcon Heights. However, it should be noted that the number of B-1 properties
in the city is very small and each one has particular characteristics not shared by the others.
1372 Larpenteur's uniqueness lies in its .tie to the adjacent lot. Under the present circumstances
no entry can be legally built on the west side because the building is only 5 feet from the
property line, although there appears to be over 50 feet of available space. Furthermore, a west
entry would be impractical because the west side faces away from both the parking lot and the
two adjacent streets and an x-ray facility is located at that end of the building. Requiring the
owner to place the entry at the rear (north) would create a hardship in that it would face only the
parking lot and have the effect of the business "turning its back" on the street.
h. Whether the variance is sought principally to increase financial gain to the owner of the
property, and to determine whether a substantial hardship to the owner would result
from a denial of the variance.
Staff finds that the variance is not sought principally to increase financial gain to the owner. The
proposed entrance is a reasonable amenity for a successful neighborhood business. Denial of the
variance will require the owner to choose a plan that either turns away from the public or creates
inconvenience for customers.
i. Whether the conditions which give rise to the application for the variance arose after the
adoption of this Chapter of the Code of the City of Falcon Heights or any amendment
thereto which placed the tract in a zoning district different from what it was under the
Chapter. In the consideration of this item, the City shall make diligent inquiry as to all
changes in the property and shall refuse to grant the variance if the problem is one that can
be solved through a proper application of a conditional use permit or an amendment of the
Zoning code. Financial hardship shall not be a basis for the granting of a variance when
the owner purchased the property in reliance on a promise that a variance would be
granted, and the City shall dismiss the appeal if it shall appear that the property was
purchased on such reliance.
POLICY H2
10/12/05
Not applicable.
Comments from Residents and Businesses: No comments from the public had been received
by Staff as of September 23, 2005. At the public hearing on September 27, 2005, the resident
owners of the property immediately to the north stated that they had no objection to granting of
the variance and that the proposed entrance would have less impact on their property than a north
entrance facing the parking lot.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the variance for the following reasons:
• A public entrance sheltered from weather is a reasonable and desirable feature for a clinic
that provides health services to the public.
• The proposed new entrance is a good compromise between providing easy access from the
parking lot and offering a welcoming facade to the community.
• The encroachment of the building into the required setback is relatively minor and will have
little or no impact on the perceived size of the building or on traffic sight lines at the
intersection of Hamline and Larpenteur.
• The proposed entrance is part of a general remodeling of the building that will update and
• enhance its appearance, which will benefit the community as a whole.
Planning Commission Action:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this variance on Tuesday, September 27, at
their regular meeting. The Planning Commission 5-2 to recommend approval of the variance to
the City Council.

• Variance application with attached letter from applicant

P.I.N. 15.29.23.34.0132
Dear Planning Commission:
I am considering purchasing the building at 1347 W. Larpenteur which currently houses the
Thatcher Chiropractic Clinic. I would like to remodel the building interior, replace the roof, update the
landscaping, and open an eye clinic to serve the community. I would like to move the entryway to the
side of the building which faces Hamline Ave. The goal is to have an entrance that is more visible and
welcoming to the community. We would like to add a 6 foot maximum vestibule entryway on to the side
of the building which faces Hamline Avenue.
Sincerely,
