Regular Meeting of the Falcon Heights City Council February 13, 2008 Members present: Mayor Lindstrom, Council members Harris, Kuettel, Long, and Mercer-Taylor, Administrator Miller, Assistant City Administrator/Deputy Clerk Kreuser. Mayor Lindstrom called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. The council approved the minutes of the January 23, 2008 regular council meeting. Public Hearing: 1. Coventry Apartments Conduit Bonding Administrator Miller began by giving the council a brief explanation of the conduit bonding process, stating cities are allowed to issue up to $10 million in bank-qualified bonds. He stressed issuing bonds does not affect the city’s bond rating. In exchange for issuing bonds, the city receives an issuer’s fee of ½ of one percent, which translates to roughly $70,000 in the city’s favor. Council member Kuettel stated the city has done this before, and it is a risk-free, win-win situation. Mayor Lindstrom opened the public hearing. Norm Jones, the attorney representing Gary Carlson, the owner of the apartments, was present and addressed the council. He stated the city was very nimble to work with, and explained the money would be used to renovate and upgrade the apartment units. He explained the multibuilding apartment complex was located on the east side of Snelling, north of Fuddruckers. Council member Mercer-Taylor asked if the units were affordable. Jones replied they were, and there would be no displacing of residents due to rent increases. Mayor Lindstrom asked the total cost of the project. Jones replied the total would be around $17 million, and would be bonding for $14 million. Mayor Lindstrom closed the public hearing. Consent Agenda: The council pointed out new commissioner Tim McDevitt would be a good addition to the Neighborhood Commission. McDevitt lives in an apartment, and all the other commissioners live in single-family homes. Council member Kuettel moved to approve the consent agenda. The following four items were approved unanimously. 1. General Disbursements through 2/7/08: $95,077.22 Payroll through 1/31/08: $17,489.11 2. City Licenses 3. Commission appointment 4. 2007 Forestry Report Policy Agenda: 1. Resolution of support for bonding request -Bell Museum of Natural History Administrator Miller began the item by explaining the representatives at the University were very thankful for Falcon Heights’ support of the Bell, and they remain cautiously optimistic for funding to be included in the bonding bill. He said the resolution would be sent, along with a letter from the mayor, to legislators. Council member Kuettel suggested a minor wording change to the seventh whereas, as Miller noted. Council member Harris said she was supportive of bringing the U’s resources and expertise to the public through the new Bell. Council member Mercer-Taylor suggested an addition to the point the new Bell would be located on the St. Paul campus, where most faculty and staff who would utilize the facility are housed. Mayor Lindstrom noted the executive director of the Bell had visited the council many years back, seeking support for such a project, and Lindstrom marveled at how quickly the time has passed. He said he was happy to support a project that would bring many visitors to Falcon Heights. Council member Kuettel agreed, stating with the new Bell Museum, Gibbs Farm, and the Raptor Center the area will become a positive learning center. Council member Harris moved to approve the resolution of support for bonding request for the Bell Museum of Natural History. The motion passed unanimously. 2. Comprehensive Plan Update Review Part I Administrator Miller began the item by explaining the process of making the comp plan update. He said the Met Council (MC) now requires cities to have their council approve the plan and then send it out to other neighboring cities. It used to be the other way around, he said. He said the Planning Commission would review the plan and hold their public hearing in March. The council will approve the plan in April, and then it will be sent to neighboring cities. The cities have six months for review, and the Met Council will get the final copy by the end of 2008. The MC has three months to review it and make changes and then will notify Falcon Heights of their comments. He announced there are comp plan open houses scheduled for March 13 and April 3 at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall. Next Miller spoke about the two sections before the council – the background and land use portions. He said the 2010 comp plan theoretically takes the city through the year 2030, and the city was required by the MC to adopt a plan that would accommodate 250 new residents, as population growth is predicted. Miller stated the additional housing required would not require a lot of land, but would likely utilize redevelopment along the Larpenteur corridor rather than new development. He noted the Hermes property, Rose B&B, the land west of TIES, and TCCFCU. He added the apartment buildings along Larpenteur Avenue might be redeveloped in the coming years. Miller said the zoning districts as they are now include R1 single family residential, R2 for duplexes/triplexes, and R4 for apartments. The current zoning code allows for 12 units per acre, and currently the city’s density is 28 units per acre. The new comp plan would call for an additional zoning classification of R3 for 12 units per acre, and amend the R4 classification for higher densities. Mayor Lindstrom asked Miller to review the process up to its current point. Miller replied through the comp plan steering committee meetings, neighborhood meetings and listening sessions the city gathered data on what was important to Falcon Heights residents. Questions were asked and answered, and Deb Jones compiled the gathered information into the draft plan. Council members Kuettel and Long thanked Jones for her hard work. Long said as a CPSC member he was impressed with the city document. Mayor Lindstrom said the city heard how much residents value open space. He asked Long what other comments were heard. Long replied residents wanted to retain the unique characteristics of neighborhoods, sense of community, housing styles, and vestment in community. Miller added the University and State Fair land is public, and has zoning of R1, single family residential. He said a change to the new plan would be to eliminate that classification, so that if the public land were ever sold, the city would have to be consulted on its new use. Council member Harris asked about page 37, #5. Miller replied that was in response to layering the zoning for community living. The idea was not to carve out specific parcels as potential U fraternity/sorority houses, and instead identify a larger area where it could occur. Council member Mercer-Taylor stated the St. Paul campus of the U was headed in a compatible direction to Falcon Heights plan. Mayor Lindstrom said each commission was able to read the section(s) related to the focus of their commission, and Harris added she liked the openness and community involvement in the process. Council member Kuettel reiterated the city was given given a task by the Met Council to add 250 housing units, and although Falcon Heights is not trying to go that route we have a plan in place, just in case we do see that amount of growth. Council member Mercer-Taylor encouraged residents to read the plan, and said she has read many comp plans and this one was very well written. Miller and Mayor Lindstrom both thanked Jones for her hard work and long hours put into the project. Information/Announcements: Council member Mercer-Taylor was happy to have successfully gone paperless with her agendas, accessing them through a wireless connection and reading along online. Council member Harris reported she attended the Ramsey County League of Local Governments meeting where various legislators appeared. Council member Kuettel announced the Planning Commission would be meeting on February 26, welcoming two new members. Council member Long thanked residents and volunteers for coming out to Winterfest, and estimated 120-130 attended. He also reminded residents to watch for the summer program guide coming out in March. Lastly, there are staff openings for rec staff, so watch for those announcements. Administrator Miller said there are four openings left for the community garden, just call to sign up. Cost is $25, and there is a dedicated water line planned for installation in spring. Mayor Lindstrom encouraged residents to nominate a youth for the Neil Kwong award. Applications are accepted through March 7. Next, he thanked the public works crew for the great job they have done in renovating the chambers. A rain garden workshop will be held March 17 at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall – come with questions and get answers on how to build a rain garden. The SAPD is holding a Citizens’ Police Academy, beginning March 26 until May 14. Call St. Anthony PD to sign up. Finally, on March 8 there will a daylong neighborhood sustainability conference at Augsburg. Visit www.afors.org for more info; all are welcome.

CONSENT F3 2/27/08 ITEM: Acceptance of Donation from Falcon Heights-Lauderdale Lion’s Club SUBMITTED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator EXPLANATION: Recently, a group of Falcon Heights CERT members held a Basic Animal Rescue Training (BART) class where they learned emergency rescue techniques relating to animals. This training was paid in part by grant funds awarded through the State of Minnesota, but it was also paid for through the generosity of the Falcon Heights-Lauderdale Lion’s Club. They graciously donated $375 towards the cost of the class and the purchase of several rescue kits that will be kept here at City Hall. The City of Falcon Heights is very thankful for this donation and the Lion’s Club continued service in our community. ACTION REQUESTED: Staff recommends that the Falcon Heights City Council accept a $375 donation from the Falcon Heights-Lauderdale Lion’s Club for our CERT BART class. CONSENT F4 2/27/08 ITEM: Award 2008 Street sweeping contract SUBMITTED BY: Tim Pittman, Parks and Public Works Director REVIEWED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator EXPLANATION: Summary: The council is being asked to award the street sweeping contract for 2008 to Reliakor Services, 8600 Hansen Avenue Shakopee, MN. 55379. An RFP was sent to six sweeping contractors and four proposals were received. Reliakor Services was the low bid at $13,950.00. The bid is for two sweeps per year, one in the spring and one in the fall. References were checked for Reliakor, and everyone we spoke to had positive feedback. • ASTECH Corp. No Bid • B.F. Lazon No Bid • Reliakor Services $13,950.00 • Pearson Brothers Inc. $15,598.00 • McPhillips Inc. $15,750.00 • Allied Blacktop Co. $24,900.00 ACTION REQUESTED Authorize staff to contract with Reliakor Services for 2008 street sweeping at a total cost of $13,950.00. POLICY G1 2/27/08 ITEM: Citizen Corps Grant Application SUBMITTED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator EXPLANATION: The State of Minnesota is soliciting applications for their most recent Citizen Corps grant program. A total of $161,400 is available statewide for programs such as CERT and Neighborhood Watch. The City of Falcon Heights has traditionally been very successful in obtaining these grants to pay for our ongoing CERT programs. This round of grant funding must be used by March 31, 2010. We have already secured grant funding for our 2008 CERT program, so this round will serve as our 2009 funding source. The neighborhood commission will be approving the application at their February 25th meeting, so a final version of the application will not be ready until then. Staff will have updated information and a more complete presentation of our request at Wednesday’s meeting. The application is due to the State of Minnesota by February 29th. ACTION REQUESTED: Staff recommends that the Falcon Heights City Council approve a grant application for the Citizen Corps grant program. POLICY G2 2/27/08 ITEM: Larpenteur Avenue Banner Designs SUBMITTED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator EXPLANATION: Over the past few weeks, staff has been investigating potential designs for banners to be placed on the streetlight poles along Larpenteur Avenue. Attached to this report are several potential designs that staff has collected. Each of the designs include the city’s logo as well as the motto “The Fair City”. The motto was included by the designer after looking at our website, but staff would recommend that the final design not include the motto, leaving only the logo, city name, and possibly “welcome”. There are approximately 36 streetlights lining Larpenteur Avenue. After consulting the company who installed the lightpoles, we will need to purchase spring-loaded banner brackets to accommodate potential wind load issues. The poles were not installed with the intention of placing banners on them, so a flexible bracket is needed in the case of strong winds. Otherwise, the poles could be damaged. Unfortunately, these brackets are more expensive than the ones we were planning on purchasing, so staff is recommending that we reduce the number of banners by half and that we install banners on alternating poles. Staff believes that this arrangement will still serve our purposes of beautifying and identifying the corridor, while falling within the budget allocated in the capital improvements plan. Additionally, it would have been difficult to install banners on many of the poles due to traffic control signs that probably should not be removed. Finally, banners on each and every pole could create more signage than is needed and create a “busy” look. ACTION REQUESTED: Staff recommends that the Falcon Heights City Council review the attached design alternatives and direct staff on the preferred choice. Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Option 4 www.northernlightsdisplay.com All designs remain the property of Northern Lights Display and cannot be duplicated without their expressed written permission POLICY G3 2/27/08 ITEM: Comprehensive Plan Update Review Part II SUBMITTED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator Deb Jones, Plan and Zoning Coordinator EXPLANATION: All cities in the Twin Cities metropolitan area are required to submit to the Metropolitan Council updates to their comprehensive plans by the end of 2008. Staff recently learned of a change in process that the Metropolitan Council is looking for, so a new approval process is needed on the city’s end. The new process will be as follows: February/March 2008 City Council review February 26 Planning Commission review March 25 Planning Commission review/public hearing April 9 or 23 City Council approval May Distribution to neighboring jurisdictions November (at the latest) Submittal to Metropolitan Council In order to meet this timeline, staff will be breaking the draft comprehensive plan update into smaller sections for city council review over the next few weeks. Attached to this report are the following sections: • Parks and Community Systems • Natural and Historic Resources • Economic Development • Implementation Appendices We will also be holding several open houses for the public to review the draft. Open houses have been scheduled on the following dates: March 13th 6:30 pm City Hall Council Chambers April 3rd 6:30 pm City Hall Council Chambers The Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee will also review the plan before formal approvals are sought. ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is looking for comments and suggestions from the city council before compiling the draft for formal planning commission and city council approvals.
