This draft plan has been submitted to the Metropolitan Council for • PC Minutes - January 27 Page 2 their review and will not be finalized until final approval is given by the Metropolitan Council. Hoyt will be getting back to the commission with any sections that need change. Hoyt reported that building permit activity in 1991 was down from 1990. By the end of 1991, 113 building permits were issued, which had a construction value of $864,000 in the city. Cleveland Avenue: Ramsey County plans to reconstruct Cleveland Avenue this summer. However, the county has not submitted the final plans to the city. A pedestrian and slow bike trail will be made on the east side and stop lights are to be installed at Cleveland and Roselawn. A tree expert has checked some large oak trees on the west side of Cleveland along the U golf course and determined that because the increased road width, some of these oak trees will need to be removed. Storm sewers will be installed to drain all of Cleveland between the two intersections. Presently, the runoff is going into the fields and the wetland on the NW side of Roselawn & Cleveland. A new storm sewer will collect the water and pipe it into a newly created wetland in a portion of Community Park. A portion of the current wetland will be affected because a pathway will take up a portion of that wetland. The wetland will be reconfigured. Garden Avenue Stop Signs: There was a brief discussion on the situation at the intersection of Garden Avenue and Snelling Drive. Visibility is not good because of the retaining walls and snow banks. The engineer recommended putting up signs which read, "cross traffic does not stop" on the Snelling Drive stop signs. Proposed Development North of City Hall: A prospective developer, Rottland Homes, is presently negotiating with the bank to purchase the land north of city hall for 24 townhouse units. Roseville/Falcon Heights Cooperative Study: The citizens committee will be presenting a report on its questions of the study to the joint city councils of Roseville and Falcon Heights. Falcon Heights will hold a community meeting to discuss this report with the residents of Falcon Heights and provide them an opportunity to raise questions. • PC Minutes - January 27, 1992 Page 3 C7 Ramsey County Local Government Services Study Commission(RCLGSSC) This study commission was created by the state legislature to look at the consolidation of certain services in Ramsey County. Staff for this commission consists of the administrator and managers of Ramsey County cities. The possible consolidation of city & county health departments, Ramsey County & St. Paul libraries, and the consolidation of roadways which would turn many of the county roads back to municipalities (e.g. Hoyt, Hamline, Fulham, Roselawn) has been discussed by the RCLGSSC. The RCLGSSC will be making its recommendations on February 5 and February 12. The meeting was adjourned at 8:45.

The variance is necessary because the new garage will be located 4 1/2 feet from the side lot line like the existing garage, rather than 5 feet as the code requires. Placing the new garage 5 feet from the side lot line would require relocating a six foot cedar fence on the current property and landscaping the place where the old garage pad was located. If the new garage did not require removing and replacing the concrete pad of the existing garage, a variance would not be necessary. If the proposed garage was within the rear 20$ (back 24 feet) of the rear yard, the garage would not require a variance because the code would allow it to be within 1 foot of the side lot line. However, approximately 10 feet of the new garage will be outside the 20~ of the rear yard to maintain clear access into the garage from the alley. Mr. Kinney spoke to his neighbors regarding his variance request. The neighbors express no objection to the request. Mr. MacKenzie, the neighbor to the east whose property is most affected by the variance, anticipates making a similar request later this spring. If granted, the variance will not detract from the property because the new garage will be located in the same position from the side lot line as the current garage, which is parallel to the neighbor's garage. Therefore, the rear yard open space and views from the two dwellings are not impaired by the proposal. And, the variance provides for a two car garage without requiring relandscaping the property owner's rear yard. RECOMMENDATION: The variance request meets the requirements of 9 -15.03 [4] of the zoning code. Of particular note is 15.03 [4](b), it will not substantially diminish or impair property values in the area and 15.03 [4](c) it is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights.

Property owner inquires about a construction project. 2. Staff provides information on the setbacks and other relevant information from the zoning code. 3. Property owner prepares a site plan with the proposed improvements. 4. Building official reviews the site plan and helps the property owner avoid a variance request if there is a reasonable solution without the request. Staff works with property owners to avoid having variance requests submitted that don't meet the criteria required. 5. If no solution is found and the variance looks like the best alternative or if the property owner feels a variance is the only amenable solution to him/her, the property owner submits a written request for a variance and pays a $45 fee. 6. Abutting property owners are notified by the city in writing of the variance request and comments are requested prior to or at the planning commission. 7. The planning commission reviews and recommends approval or denial of the variance request using staff information and the criteria for approving a variance. 8. The city council approves or denies the variance request. • RAYMOND L. KINNEY 1447 W.

That the 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; c. That the granting of the variance is necessary Por the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights; d.

That the variance will not increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety; '''v3' ;:gig. 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; kh. Whether the variance is sought prineipallq 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; 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.

The funds are being requested for the acquisition and clearance of 2061 West Larpenteur Avenue along with funds for the relocation of the two occupants. The property is in deteriorated condition and is incompatible with the current zoning, B - 1. There is $1,000,000 in 1992 CDBG money for suburban Ramsey County communities. It is a competitive grant. Staff cannot anticipate whether the grant will or will not receive funding. ATTACHMENT: A - Portions of the 1992 CDBG application for blight elimination ACTION REQUESTED: For your information. Falcon Heights CDBG • Page 1 2/12/92 ~,. CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS CDBG FUNDING PROPOSAL FOR 1992 I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The City of Falcon Heights is requesting funds to acquire land and clear a blighted, substandard residential dwelling and outbuildings and to relocate the two low income occupants to standard, affordable housing. II. HOW WILL THE PROJECT BENEFIT LOW AND MODERATE INCOME RAMSEY COUNTY RESIDENTS The project will benefit low and moderate income residents by removing a substandard and. dilapidated dwelling. The current low income occupants will be relocated to decent quality, affordable housing. It will also provide a better business environment and possible business opportunities for a Ramsey County employer in the computer industry. • III. WHY IS THE PROJECT NEEDED? A. To eliminate blight The dwelling is substandard as described in the inspection reports (Exhibit 3). The city declared the structures blighted (Exhibit 4). The dwelling, which is a single family home, is a non-conforming land use because it is located in a limited business zone (Exhibit 2A). According to the zoning code, the structure cannot be renovated because any renovation cost would exceed 50% of the value of the structure allowed for a non-conforming use. It's removal is necessary to clear the property of blight. B. To remove substandard housing The structure doesn't provide safe and sanitary housing for its current or future occupants. The blighted condition of the building and outbuildings combined with its location adjacent to the parking and delivery entrance of the city's second largest, non - institutional employer and the city's fire department .7 Falcon Heights CDBG _ Page 2 • 2/12/92 . and public works facilities as well as its location on Larpenteur Avenue, a busy county state aid highway, expose the dwelling's occupants to air and noise pollution from vehicular traffic at all times of the day. C. To relocate occupants to safe and sanitary housing • 1. Relocation Two unrelated, male occupants rent the dwelling for $500 per months and pay $125 per month in utilities. Both occupants are mechanics and earn approximately $20,000 annually in gross income (estimate from conversations). Both occupants are in their late twenties or early thirties. These occupants would be relocated to decent quality housing in Falcon Heights or a nearby community. The occupants may choose to relocate to separate one bedroom apartments rather than remain roommates in a two bedroom housing unit. Relocation estimates are based upon this choice (Exhibit 1A). City staff discussed the possibility of the acquisition with the tenants and the owner's agent. Neither the tenants nor the owner were alarmed by the project as long as they were kept informed of the project's activities so they could plan for the future. 2. Replacement housing The dwelling is 864 square feet with two bedrooms, a living room, dining room and kitchen on the first floor. There is an unfinished half story above the first floor that is not occupied. There are two outbuildings, one is a garage and one a shed (Exhibit 3). There is no guarantee that a replacement housing unit will be built in Falcon Heights within the next three years to meet the Barney Frank amendment due to the developed character of the city. However, conversations with the Roseville community development staff indicate there will very likely be replacement housing available in Roseville. P_ propcs2d low and moderate income townhome development in Rcsevill° provides one possibility fcr re_oiacement.housing within the nex~ t:7r~e years. • Falcon Heights CDBG Page 3 _ • 2/12/92 _ .. D. To improve the business environment The eighty year-old property, which is located in a business zone, is inconsistent with its surrounding land uses and the city's 1991 comprehensive land use plan (Exhibit 2B). The city hall/community center is to the north of the property., Hewlett Packard, the city's second largest non-institutional employer is located to the east of the property. The substandard structures and incompatible use make the business climate less attractive. Hewlett Packard, which employs 315 people, supports the city's desire to eliminate these blighted structures (Exhibit 5). Falcon Heights is the headquarters for Hewlett Packard in the Twin City area. This company keeps a well maintained and landscaped site for its employees and national and international business clients. These blighted structures detract from these efforts by Hewlett Packard. E. To control limited property for shifting business • andJor community needs The City of Falcon Heights is a small, fully developed city with most of its land use being occupied by tax exempt entities including the University of Minnesota and State Fair. Because there is little available land for development or redevelopment it is in the city's interest to control this parcel of property for future community or business use. The parcel is directly across the street to the west of Hewlett Packard. It will be valuable to use for future business shifts in the existing facility. It is in the community's interest to make any parking or business development changes in this westerly direction because Hewlett Packard borders on single family residential dwellings to the north and east. The parcel is also adjacent to the city hall/community center. The city facilities are used by many community and Vain Cities groups as well as by the city offices, fire and rescue service and public works. Any growth in the facility's par:cing or s2rv~ce needs may require excansion of available parking or facilities. Trvitheut this parcel, the city wi?1 have no flexibility to make adjustments 't ^. Sat'_5:7 ?'_~h er ~ ~a~Cr em]~IC~T°r arcicr CCmmll:7='.'7 needs. • Falcon Heights CDBG Page 4 • 2/12/92 IV. WHO INITIATED THE PROJECT? The City of Falcon Heights initiated the project to eliminate blight and dilapidated, substandard housing which is inconsistent with zoning, and to create a better climate for business expansion and shifts through the control of a parcel of land in a key location. This is consistent with the city's comprehensive plan. V. WHY ARE CDBG FUNDS APPROPRIATE? CDBG funds are designated for land acquisition and clearance to eliminate blight. This is a straight forward blight elimination project in a critical location in the city. Other financial sources, such as TIF revenues or private support, are not available for this project. VI. IS THERE LOCAL SUPPORT? A. Financial support As a small city, Falcon Heights doesn't have funds for this type of acquisition and clearance. Last spring the city requested financial help from neighboring Hewlett Packard to accomplish this acquisition. However, the business was not amenable to this request due to the uncertainty of the computer business climate and the lack of immediate benefit to the business. The city's -'TIF revenues are paying for all city incurred TIF expenses, but there are no excess revenues to fund this type of clearance project. However, the city will pay for project administration and appraisals. B. Other support This project does not attract slot of attention. However, there is support from adjacent Hewlett Packard (Exhibit 5). There is also indirect community support for the removal of these blighted structures as evidenced by the complaints about the property. Individuals using the community center/city • • Falcon Heights CDBG Page 5 2/12/92 half,often comment or complain to city staff about the dilapidated condition of the adjacent property. Recently a local resident and apartment building owner asked about the proposed CDBG acquisition after reading about it on the city council agenda. When he was told that the funds would be used to acquire and clear the substandard structures, he responded that "grass would be better than what is there now" referring to the dilapidated structures. VII. IS THE PROJECT READY TO GO, IF FUNDED? The project is ready to go if it is funded. The property owner and occupants are aware of the application. The planning commission will be informed of the application at its February meeting. The project completion will not be impeded by the necessity of coordinating with any outside agencies because the city will administer the land acquisition, clearance and relocation internally. The project should take no more than six months to one year from start to finish. • VIII. PROPOSED BUDGET Land Acquisition $165,000 (estimate only) (market value $72,000 viewed in 1989) (asking price in fall, 1991 - $175,000) Clearance $10,000 Relocation $16,550 Appraisal (city) $ 1,000 ($300 estimate for one) Attorney fees (city) $ 1,000 (estimate 10 hours) Administrative costs (city) $ 1,000 (estimate 50 hours) TOTAL $194,550 CITY $3,000 CDBG $191,550 • __ _ ~.X~f ~3rT" 2~1 . _ _~_}~ ~, ... c ~.__o~ o 0 0 • o ~o- o ..~'~ • -.
