SULLN_SN HAROLD J~ HINNEY Mr. Dewan B. Barnes City Manager City of Falcon Heights 1644 Larpenteur Avenue West . Saint Paul, Minnesota 55113 Re: General Matters our file 1529 Dear Mr. Barnes: 1976. This will confirm our telephone conference of August 16, You have inquired as to the procedures to be followed by the City of Falcon Heights in permitting a portion of the old Applebaum store to be used for a "dog obedience school." We have reviewed the applicable provisions of Ordinance No. 6t, as amended. The subject property is zoned B-2. Sec- tion 1.1 of Ordinance No. 6n~' defines '°permitted uses°' within B-2 retail business districts. Those uses which are "not per- mitted" uses but are conditional uses which require a condi- tional use permit are defined in Section 11.2. While a dog obedience school is not defined as a permitted use, Subd. (18) defines a pet shop as a conditional use which is analogous to a dog obedience school. ditional use permits and the procedures to be followed by the Council. Ordinance 101 of the City relates to the licensing of dogs and defines kennels as a place that boards. more than Section 16.5 of Ordinance 6 governs the. issuance of con- y i. B H I C'i C-z S ta. N D M O E~ Cs 11 :~ Mr. Dewan B. Barnes 2. August 16, 1976 i• three dogs aver four months old. It is our understanding that the dog obedience school contemplates keeping several dogs over- night. Since Section 15 of Ordinance 101 prohibits the estab- lishment of }:ennels within the Village, it is our recommendation that the City treat the request as one for a conditional use per- mit under the provisions of Section 11.2 of the Ordinance and in w the event dogs are to be kept overnight, Ordinance 101, Section 15, should be amended by striking Section 15 and substituting there- fore the following: No kennel may be established in the City without the application for and the granting of a license, which license shall be granted on such terms and conditions as may from time to time be established by the City. If you have any further questions, please call. Sincerely, ~~ ,~ ~ M. J. G~ vin, Jr. ~ MJG:jmh Copy to: Mr. J. R.

Barnes Clerk Adm o.nis-~rator City of .£'a.lcon Heights 1644 6Vest Larpenteur Avenue Falcon Heights, Minnesota 55113 In Re: Transmitting Tower for Amateur Radici Communica ions Dear Mr. 33arnes: • The Planning Commission and Council have asked my opinion concerning the application of Ordinance 64, the zoning ordinance, to a request by a Mr:~`Sederberg, 1452 West Idaho Avenue, to erect a forty-foot tower and to ins-call an antenna on the tower for the purpose of receiving and transmitting amateur radio communications under regulations of the £i'ederal Communications Commission. Mr® Sederberq's propert~~ is :Located in an area that is zoned "R-1"o erection 6.2(5) provides that acces- sory structures other than private garages are permitted uses ~,~ithizl an R-1 district but a conditional use permit must be issued for such a conditional use. Under the definition of '°structures", I would construe a television or radio tower as being an accessory structure. Thus, the Council must look at the facts of each application and deter- mine whether a conditional use permit shall be issued. Another section of the R-1 regulations is also pertinent here. Section 6.4(1) provides that no building or structure shall exceed two stories or twenty-five feet in height, whichever is less, except as provided in Section .: 15 of the ordinance. Section 15 increases the height limi- tations by fifty percent for certain types of structures • such as water towers, flag poles, smokestacks, church _~ L~ - _ $RIGGS nxn MORGAN • Mr. Dewan B. Barnes -2- June 18, 1976 towers, etc. There is nothing in Section 15 pertaining to television or radio antennas. Thus, I would concludes 1. A television or radio tower is an accessory use and the applicant a7~ust secure a conditional use permit from the Council for such accessory use in an R-1 district. ?. If the Council determines that the applicant is entitled to a conditional use permit, the tower may not exceed twenty-five feet in height. 3. There is no authority to increase the height limitations by fifty percent under Section 15 of the ordi- nance. 4. The Council could grant a variance and a • conditional used the conditional use for the basic struc- ture and the varia~~ce to allow the structure to exceed twenty-five feet in height. The normal variance rules would apply as set forth in Section 16 of the ordinance. In essence, the Council would have to determine whether there is some definite hardship or difficulty imposed on the applicant and that the request is not simply for the convenience of the applicant. I should note that television and radio stations and transmitting towers are conditional uses in B-2 areas subject to a height limitation of thirty-five feet. Thus, the Council at the time of adopting the ordinance did have some specific concepts in mind with regard to television and radio antennas. If the Council decides to change any of the ordinance provisions that I have detailed above, I would recommend that a separate ordinance be enacted which would dea_1 not only with the zoning questions but also per- mit's, fees, construction requirements, _lights, removal of abandoned towers, etc. There is a model ordinance adopted by the City of Bloomington which T believe the Council is aware of. I would certainJ_y suggest that a similar ordinance be considered if the Council wishes to modify the present zoning rules as I have set forth above. • Yours truly John R.

HAYNOR GOIJNSEL ROBERT O. SULLIVAN ' RAF(OLD J. xINNEY Mr. Dewan B. .Barnes Clerk Administrator .City of Falcon Heights 1644 West'Larpenteur Avenue Falcon Heights, Minnesota .55113 Dear Mr. Barnes: The Planning Commission of the City of Falcon Heights has asked for my opinion concerning a proposed sign on the northeast corner of Arona and Larpenteur Avenue which is in an area zoned "R-3". The sign would be erected by members of the Bahai faith and apparently wou ld not be illuminated. Ordinance 64, .Section 14.1, provides that signs :are a permitted accessory use in all use districts but they are subject to the regulations set forth in Section 14. Section 14.1(2) through Section 14.1(2.6) set forth the regulations applicable to sign regulations in all resi- dential districts. Essentially the only signs that are permitted in residential districts are: 1. A nameplate indicating the name and/or address of the occupant; 2. Nameplates for apartments or multiple dwellings which indicate the names of the buildings or project or may be a directory for occupants; 3. Signs erected by churches, schools, or other institutions on their property; ~ BRIGGS axD MORGAN • Mr. Dewan B. Barnes _2_ June 18, 1976 4. Occasional uses. of signs such as for political elections, for sale or for rent or other similar occasional uses. Section 14.1(2..4) states that "advertising signs" shall not be permitted in residential districts. Based on the above sections of the ordinance, my conclusion is that the proposed sign is not a permissible sign within a residential district. It is not one of the permitted signs set forth in Section 14; it is not a sign for occasional use. such as a for sale or for rent sign; and in fact it may be an advertising sign which is specifically prohibited in Section 14. I note from the application that this fact may have already been recognized because the applicant .applied for a variance rather than a conditional use, If the sign is not permitted within a residential district, the next question is whether there are conditions • .present which would justify the Planning Commission and the Council in granting a variance fram the strict application of the zoning ordinance. T would direct the attention of the Planning Commission and the Council to Section 16.4(4) of the ordinance which sets forth the conditions under which a variance may be granted. In essence, a variance shall not be granted merely to serve as a convenience to the applicant but is to be granted where the applicant has shown demonstrable hardship or difficulty sufficient to take it outside of the. strict application of the zoning ordinance. Thus, it is up to the Planning Commission and ultimately the Council to determine whether there are facts present here upon which a variance may be granted to the applicant. Yours truly, "O ~ John R.

ICINNEY The Planning Commission and Council have asked my opinion concerning the application of Ordinance 64, the zoning ordinance, to a request by a Mr. Sederberg, 1452 West Idaho Avenue, to erect a forty-foot tower and to install an antenna on the tower for the purpose of receiving and transmitting amateur radio communications under regulations of the Federal. Communications Commission. Mr. Sederberg°s property is located in an area that is zoned "R-l". Section 6.2(5) provides that acces- sory structures other than private garages are permitted uses within an R-1 district but a conditional use permit must be issued for such a conditional use. Under the definition of "structures", I would construe a television or radio tower as being an accessory structure. Thus,. the Council must look at the facts of each application and deter- mine whether a conditional use permit shall be issued. Another section of the R-1 regulations is also pertinent here. Section 6.4(1) provides that no building or structure shall exceed two stories or twenty-five feet in height, whichever is less, except as provided in Section 15 of the ordinance. Section 15 increases the height limi- tations by fifty percent for certain types of structures such as water towers, flag poles, smokestacks, church • ' BRIGGS axn MORGAN • : Mr. Dewan B. Barnes -2- June 18, 1976 towers, etc. There is nothing in Section 15 pertaining to television or radio antennas. Thus, I would conclude: 1. A television or radio tower is an accessory use and. the applicant must secure a conditional use permit' from the Council for such accessory use in an R-1 district. 2. If the Council determines that the applicant is entitled to a conditional use permit, the tower may not exceed twenty-five feet iri height. 3. There is no authority to increase the height limitations by fifty percent under Section 1.5 of.~t:he ordi- nance. 4. The Council could grant a variance and a ,conditional used the conditional use for the basic struc- • ture and the varia~~ice to allow the structure to e~;cecd twenty-five feet in height. The normal variance rules would apply as set forth in Section 16 of the ordinance. In essence, the Council would have to determine whether .there is some definite hardship or difficulty imposed on the applicant and that the request is not simply for the convenience of the applicant. I should note that television and radio stations and transmitting towers are conditional uses in B--2 areas subject to a height limitation of thirty-•fi.ve feet. `T'hus, the Council at the time of adopting tl~ie ordinance dial have some specific concepts in mind wif_h regard to television and radio antennas. If the Council decides to change any of the ordinance provisions that I have detailed above, I would recommend that a separate ordinance be enacted which would deal not only with the zoning questions but- also per- mits, fees, construction requirements, lights, removal of abandoned towers, etc. Tl-iere is a model ordinance adopted by the City of Bloomington which I believe the Council is aware of. I would certainly suggest that a similar ordinance be considered if the Council wisries to modify the present zoning rules as I have set forth above. Yours truly ~`~ "' r John R.

Chairman Plant stated that the Board of Health met to discuss the matter on March 1, 1976. It was the opinian of the Health Board that the Zaning Ordinance (No. 6It) should be revised to allow this type of operation and oth®r similar types of business in a B2 area, providing prop®r conditions were met. Dr. David Silverman, 163 Ninth Street, White Bear Lake, the applicant for the Conditional Use Perr~3.t, read a statement describing his background and outlining his plans for the proposed small a al hospital. He also said he had verbal approval of the hospital from three adjacent property owners/managers. Member Ohman stated his only ob~ek~tion would be waste outside of the building. He said he would like to see a back entrance used rather than the front of the building. Dr. Silverman said the waste would be cleaned up as soon as possible in ord®r to keep the area clean and that he did not think a back entranc® would be feasible. Councilman Black noted that under the pres®nt ordinance a small animal hospital is neither a permitted use nar s. conditional use, as listed. He mentioned the ordinance (No. 6i~) would have to b® amend®d to allow this type of us®. .. ~,~~_ Minutes Planning Commission March 8, 1976 Page Two Dr. Silvertan stated he would not be grooming dogs at the hospital. Member Jenkins asked what the floor area size would be. Dr. Silver- man replied there was approximately 1000 square feet of space. K~'{ Koefel, representing the Businessmen's Association, stated he would prefer written approval of neighboring businesses. Member Yonan stated she saw no difference between housing of animals in a small animal hospital, without out-side runs, and a pet shop. Member Ohrnan said h® would prefer a free standing building and that he was unaware of arXy hospitals located in common-walled buildings. Dr. Silverman Warned some hospitals that were located in shopping centers, etc. Moved by Member Stone, seconded by Member Schwantes that the Planning Commission recommend that the Council amend the Zoning Ordinance to include the operation of a small animal hospital as a Conditional Use in a B2 district.

Discussion of Rees Property Allen At the meeting of the Planning Commission on February 17, 197b, problems of traffic flow and snow removal from the alley mirth of Larpenteur Avenue between Snelling and Arona had been discussed. It was suggested that 'this alley be made a one-way alley from west to east. Property owners abuttia~ the all®y were contacted to attend the meeting this evening to discuss tta® issu®. Thomas Deters, 15t~0 Crawford, stated he would not ha~r® access to his garage if the alley went from west to east and that he would not be able to store his boat in his garag® coming from the west.

Review: Zoning Ordinance Recisions ACTION: i• _. .. . ., r, ,.. ~?n~~~~~~ o~~f~- . w~ .-~. ,,, .,.:~ .. ~,.,,~.,k~.~~. ~ ,.r ., This report has been written to support my proposal to establish a Veterinary • hospital at 1660 N. Snelling Avenue, Falcon Heights. At this time, I would like to briefly examine the present state of the Veterinary profession. Veterinary Medicine has experienced the fastest growth and more advances in the last 15 years than any other field in the health sciences. Today, the American Veterinary Medical Association recognizes 10 specialty boards. These are: American Board of Veterinary Public Health, the American Board of Veterinary Toxicology, the American College of Veterinary Microbiology, the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine, the American College of Theriogenology (Obstetrics), American College of Veterinary Opthalmology, American College of Veterinary Pathologists, the American College of Veterinary Radiologists, the American College of Veterinary Surgeons, and the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine, with • 6 subspecialty boards. Certainly this list is not as extensive as that of our physician colleagues, but most of our specialty boards have only been recognized in the last 5 years. The Veterinarian's image has certainly changed from that of the rural "horse doctor. " In terms of training, Veterinarians expend as much time and energy as an M. D. The Veterinary curricula is 4 years -- the same as human medicine, and most Veterinary colleges offer internship and residency programs. In fact, it is harder to become a Veterinarian: at present, there are only 20 Veterinary colleges in the United States. And, because of the expense involved, class size in all colleges is limited to about 75 per year. In my freshman class at the University of Illinois, in 1970, 80 applicants were accepted and over 600 were tunied away. • Animals and animal care play an ever-increasing role in American life. Aside from food animals and horseracing, the Sport of Kings, pet and companion animals have -2- become a separate major industry. In 1973, an A. C. Neilson survey found that 57.4 • of American families qualified as households with pets. This fact, plus the .small. number of Veterinary colleges, and the limited enrollment capabilities in these schools, have caused a nationwide shortage of Veterinarians, at a time when the need is greatest. The village of Falcon Heights does not have a private small animal hospital. The University college of Veterinary Medicine has a small animal facility, but their hours are limited, waiting lists usually exist for routine services, such as vaccinations, and the Doctor-Client relationship is not as personal as most people desire. As a result, most residents of Falcon Heights must go elsewhere for Veterinary services, such as Roseville or St. Paul. I have discussed my proposal with the Health Board of Falcon Heights. They have recommended in favor of the establishment of this hospital. One item that they • seemed most concerned with was that of waste disposal. I will have only a small area for keeping animals. I will have a floor drain in the kennel area with a pitched cement trough leading to it. In this way, animal waste can be quickly and thoroughly eliminated. I will have no outside kennels. Deceased animals are picked up immediately by a private firm. In fact, far from being a liability, an animal hospital is a Public Health asset to a community. Veterinarians are the first line of defense against zoonotic diseases -- disease transmitted between animals and man. Common examples of zooneses we try to protect against include ringworm, salmonellosis, toxoplasmosis (which can affect fetuses in households with cats) and rabies. Another public health problem which Veterinarians are uniquely qualified to deal with is that of unwanted pets and stray animals. Free roaming stray dogs damage property, spread disease, and are a public nuisance. No one remedy has worked in every community, but pet population control, chemically or surgically, is a service every community should have. -3- ' Historically, the major objections to animal hospitals have been sound and odor control. Modern design and construction techniques have largely eliminated these problems. Specifically, there are several ways I will control noise. First, all the stores in this strip have separate heating and cooling systems. This eliminates sound transmission through the ductwork. I will soundproof the walls with fiberglass insulation and a double layer of sheetrock or soundboard with an airspace in between. This method of soundproofing has proven effective, and has been recommended by Veterinary Economics , a Veterinary journal dealing with construction techniques and solutions to various problems posed by animal hospitals. Also, all doors will be solid core, and, as I mentioned, there will be no outside l:ennels. Hospital capacity will only be 3 dogs and 4 cats. I might add that I have talked with the managers/owners of Shakey's, Frame. Factory and the Clip Joint and have received their approval. Most odor problems will be reduced by the waste disposal system, In addition, I will have 2 exhaust fans in the kennel room, I will have 1 row of stainless .steel cages which will be on wheels so they can be moved and the kennel area thoroughly cleaned. Noxious odars in a hospital imply poor sanitation. Veterinarians today cannot afford to be unsanitary. In conclusion, let me state several other ancillary benefits which I may offer to the Falcon Heights coznmunit5~. For example, xThen i managed the Capital City Animal Hospital in St. Paul., i gave tours to school children. They enjoyed it, and I feel they learned a lot about animals and animal care. I also ans~~aered many questions from high school and college students who had an interest in entering the Veterinary profession. This was all. first-hand information riot readily available from sources other than a Veterinarian. And so, with your recommendation, I hope I can be a valuable addition to your community. • • is ,.

Discussion was held as to the proper >use of B2 zoned property and if this would be allowed under present zoning regulations. Councilman Steele felt this would be an appropriate kind of business for the area. He also asked what type of change would be necessary in the Ordinance in order to a11oW this type of business. Acting Mayor Slack said that, in his opinion, present zoning regulations do not allow for this type of business operation.

He also felt the ordinances should be updated. Councilman Labalestra also stated he felt the ordinances should be reTiewed and updated and that he would faTOr the establishment of this t~rpe of Teterinary hospital, but in a free standing build- ing . Attorney Benefick stated the present ordinance coTering Conditional Uses could be changed by amendment to include such businesses as Teterinary hospitals.

IABALESTRA CLERK -ADMINISTRATOR DEWAN 8. BARNES On June 12, 1975, I happened to be introduced to Mr. Rees and he suggested we have lunch together. During this luncheon, we discussed the Business- men's proposal for upgrading Larpenteur and Snelling Avenues' business district. On June 13, 1975, he wrote me a letter confirming our meeting and, likewise, sent me a Dopy of a lettor he mail©d to rIr. A. C. Godsxard of Minneapolis, ~aho is either a plannflr or aril engin©nr for I~Ir. R~aos, as well as a close friend, and he suggested he gloat with mo. As of this date, we have not consulted each other. Mr. Rees enclosed a copy of his proposal as to what he would do if certain conditions ware met. He .fe©ls the City shou7_d condemn the residential property bohind Flower City for a parking lot. (I do not agree. .This should be acquired by the commercial property owner, if at all.) He feels if the residential area was converted to a parkit~ lot, they would give up the front parking a1ot~ Larpenteur Avenue. Mr. Rees also suggested a hedge 10 feet wide be planted along the south side of Crawford and that there be trees planted and a new sidewalk area along Larpenteur Avenuo. These conditions would only be agreed upon if the owners on the northwest and southeast coy°ne•rs would do likewise. He feels if the parlcing lot is acquired by condemnation, it should be assessed against the whole Improved Business District. He further states that the cost to install and maintain the buffer plantings, sid®t~ralks, etc., would be added to the tax rolls as a nowly Croat®d assassr~ent dis- trict. Mr. Rees states also that if these improvements were to be made, he would be willing to do a comparable rcioderni7.ing of his block of buildings. el Sincerely, ~ -~ ~~ , D€~wan B.

Roll Call: Ayes (6) Nays (0) Discussion; Zoning of Business Area Discussion was held regarding the proposed Businessrntan~s Rezoning Plan and land available for business expansion. Member Larsen suggested that something should be done about, the parking situation in the area of the Flameburger, 1533 West Larpenteur, before ar;ything further was done to update the area. He felt the area should have less businesses and more parking available. He also noted there were no unloading facilities provided for the K and K Hardware Store. Members of the Planning Commission felt that beautification of the existing business area on Larpenteur Avenue was the responsibility of the property owners and not the City. It was their opinion, also, that residents were not really interested in attracting more business establishments to the area. i. • • Planning Commission Minutes February 17, 1.976 The Commission discussed rezoning of the six lots to the north of the business area, which are presently resid®ntial, and the effect. this would have for the owners if they were to sell their homes. It was felt hardships could be caused in selling the property if it were zoned coi~rnercial.

Rnll C!~l't ~ Azra~e ~~~ Nav4 ~fl~ Member Larsen recommended that ;the Engineer be directed to make a study of the traffic flow in the alley north of Larpenteur Avenue between Snelling and Arona for consideration that this alley be made a ons'-.way alley from west to east in order to alleviate traffic problems.

OFFICE Clerk Administrator Barnes administered the Oath of Office to William H. Black, re-elected Councilman of Falcon Heights.. Councilman Black reviewed the request for a variance submitted November 18, 1975, by Milton I~Zoore, President of Mando Photo Company, 1790 West Larpenteur Avenu©. The application is for a 30 foot variance from the front yard setback and an 18 foot variance from the side yard setback to allota for construction of an addition to the front of the building. Councilman Black read a letter from Mr. Moore, dated November 18, ~~ 1975, addressed to the Planning Commission, in which Mr. Moore states the reasons for his request for a variance on both the front and side yards. Councilman Black also read the minutes of the Planning Commission meeting of December 2, 1975, at which time the Planning Commission recommended that the variance be granted. Milton Moore stated that if the variance was not granted, his firm would eventually have to relocate, as the additional space was needed in order to continue operation. He requested that the Council make a decision on the variance this evening. Attorney William Korstad, 162,5 Garden, said he was representing James Boyd, owner of the apartments immediately to the west of the Mando Photo Company. NIr. Korstad felt that granting the variance would establish a precedent for future variance requests along Larpentaur Avenue. He also stated the Peterson property to the east was for sale, and, if sold, could also be the source of another variance request. VARIANCE REQUEST ZiAr1D0 PHOTO, 1790 WEST LARPENTEUR AVENUE
