SUBMITTED BY: Mr. Kevin Alm, Edward D. Jones Co. Tim Hilger, representing property owner REVIEWED BY: Planning Commission Brian Standing, Planning Intern Reason for Public Hearing: The planning commission held a public hearing on February 22, 1993, within a week of public notification of residents. A second hearing is necessary to satisfy legal provision requiring ten days prior notice. Request: Edward D. Jones Co., an investment consultant firm, plans to open an office in Bullseye Plaza at 1547 Larpenteur Avenue. Mr. Alm, the office manager, has requested a conditional use permit to allow the installation of a 6 -foot diameter satellite dish antenna on the exterior rear wall of the building. Analysis: The nature of Jones Co.'s work requires uninterrupted computer and communications links with the firm's headquarters in St. Louis and with market information systems around the world. Jones Co. has designed its system entirely around satellite transmission. The zoning code for a B -2 district lists broadcast and telecommunications facilities as a conditional use. As indicated in the site plan, the antenna would be mounted to the exterior rear wall of the building, abutting an alley. The antenna would protrude from the roof line by 6 1/2 feet, and would be mounted in a recessed area of the building, 14 feet from the alley right of way. According to the manufacturer, the antenna would weigh 383 pounds and is designed to survive a maximum wind speed of 125 m.p.h. Staff have visited the location to determine potential visual impacts on the surrounding area. The alley abuts the rear of 6 residential lots on Crawford. The antenna should not be n+jji H r 'ub is Hein b e H± in� kJ; RAM? :::::.:.:::..M.......... visible at all from 1522, 1526 or 1532 Crawford, due to the angle of view or to obscuring garages. The view from 1538, directly opposite the proposed antenna location, is completely obscured by a row of tall evergreens. 1540 Crawford, to the northwest, is partially screened by a garage and two large deciduous trees; foliage should entirely obscure the antenna in the summer. From 1546 Crawford, a garage and the neighboring trees should restrict the view of the antenna to the extreme southwestern corner of the lot. Because of the location of the antenna on the rear recessed portion of the building, it will not be visible from Larpenteur or Snelling Avenues, or from the Bullseye Plaza parking lot. The primary visual impact would appear to be from the alley itself and from the rear Embers parking lot. Approximately 20 feet to the east of the antenna site is an exposed electrical conduit that protrudes roughly 6 to 7 feet from the Champion roof line. The visual impact of the proposed antenna should be no worse than this unattractive existing structure, and may actually help screen the conduit from the west. The lease agreement between property owner and the tenant addresses the location and mounting of the dish to protect the Bullseye Center from any damage the dish might cause. Staff notified property owners within 350 feet of the Center about the proposed dish. As of this writing, Mr. Jim Warner, Jr., owner of Falcon Center, made the only inquiry. On February 22, 1993, the planning commission unanimously recommended granting the conditional use permit, subject to the conditions shown in the draft resolution. A conditional use permit goes with the property, not the business. It may be revoked if conditions are not met. ATTACHMENTS: A. Applicant's statement B. Site plan for 1547 Larpenteur with adjacent properties C. Proposed conditional use permit for 1547 Larpenteur ACTION REQUESTED: Grant a conditional use permit under section 9 -10.01 [2] (d) of the zoning code because the antenna is a permitted conditional use, and because it will not adversely affect the health, safety, convenience, comfort or welfare of the occupants of surrounding lands. Adopt recommended conditions. P. b Attachment A Edward D. Jones Co.

Dear Susan: Per our conversation earlier today, I have put together a summary of the relevant issues pertaining to the installation of a satellite receiving antenna (dish) at the location described below. SITE LOCATION: Address: Bullseye Plaza 1547 W.

That the antenna mounting hardware be designed and installed to withstand wind speeds at least as high as the design standards of the antenna itself; b. That the antenna and all mounting hardware must be maintained in a safe and operable condition, and; c. That no portion of the antenna or its mounting hardware directly overhang the alley. The council adopted the following findings for granting the conditional use permit for 1547 Larpenteur: a. That the antenna is a permitted conditional use under section 9- 10.01 [2](d) of the zoning code, and; b. That the granting of the conditional use permit will not adversely affect the health, safety, convenience, comfort or welfare of the occupants of surrounding lands.

RESOLUTION R -93 -13 A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR HEARING ON IMPROVMENT ON THE MATTER OF THE 1993 STREET IMPROVEMENTS AUTHORIZATION TO CONTRACT SERVICES FOR AUDIO VISUAL DESIGN AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR COUNCIL CHAMBERS Hoyt explained that staff is working toward improvement of the audio /visual equipment and are also looking at new cameras as the present ones are aging. Staff has met with Bill Bruce, cable coordinator for Little Canada and he is willing to contract with Falcon Heights at a price of $35.00 per hour, or a set fee, to design and write specifications for the city's needs. Following a brief discussion Council authorized staff to contract with Mr. Bruce for up to 20 hours. If additional time is needed the matter will again be presented to Council for discussion. DENIAL OF REQUEST FROM MR. AND MRS. KING, 1427 W. IDAHO FOR COPYING COSTS Ciernia commented on the fact that some of Mr. and Mrs. King's costs were incurred due to the city's error in issuing a building permit for the oversized garage at 1433 W. Idaho, and that perhaps, the property owners could be reimbursed for the materals prepared for Council and the Planning Commission. Baldwin explained that it is not unusual for people to incur expenses when presenting information to the Council and Commissions. He stressed that the city simply does not let individuals spend tax money, that it would be against city policy. Gibson Talbot indicated she felt it was an unfortunate situation but she would be uncomfortable with reimbursement, esepcially when the city would have provided the copies for Plannning Commission and Council had it been requested. Baldwin called for a motion to reimburse the Kings. No motion followed. Request denied. u Y MINUTES ~1 FEBRUARY 10, 1993 PAGE 3 VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION EVENT SCHEDULED FOR 3/18/93, 7 -9 P.M.

CORRECTION Regular Meeting of the City Council March 10, 1993 CONSENT AGENDA: C -4 Authorizing execution of the recycling contract with E -Z Recycling, Inc. Clause D -1 of the contract, dealing with reporting requirements, which reads: "The weight in pounds of all recyclables collected including certified weight receipts for each type of material, and including separate totals for multi- family and single family /fewer than 18 -unit residences;" should be amended to read: "The weight in pounds of each type of recyclable material collected, including separate totals for multi family and single family /fewer than 18 -unit residences, and including all certified weight receipts;" Because of a drafting error, the clause as originally written implies that separate weight receipts for each type of recycled material would be required. Separate weight receipts were not requested in the RFP, and were not required under the previous contract.

The signal will have a left turn signal going north from Larpenteur. And, it will not have an emergency signal pre -empt because the several thousand dollar cost would need to be repeated with the installation of the permanent signal when Larpenteur Avenue is reconstructed. Bill Westerberg, the engineer, said the signal is not unusual and should do the job. There will be no cost to the city for this signal because it is at the intersection of two county roads. ACTION REQUESTED: Approve temporary traffic signal at the intersection of Fairview and Larpenteur Avenues.

The maximum fence height in side and rear yards is six feet. The Kings say they need an eight foot fence because of the neighbor's garage at 1433 West Idaho, which was granted variances to allow its completion at 988 square feet. The city approved a building permit for the garage's construction prior to the variances being granted. Because of the city error at 1433 West Idaho, which the Kings' perceive as creating a need for an eight foot fence, Mr. and Mrs. King would like to be exempt from the $45 fee for a variance request and the $50 building permit fee for the fence. The staff has not processed the King's variance request because the fee is charged to cover these costs. The variance will be processed and reviewed by the planning commission after the fee is either paid by the Kings or waived by the council. In the past the city has not allowed exemptions to the city's fee structure. Any exemption would be a departure from past policy. ATTACHMENT: A Letter from Mr. and Mrs. King, dated 2 February 1993 ACTION REQUESTED: Deny the request for waiving the fee for a variance request and building permit. February 2, 1993 City of Falcon Heights: Attached is the site plan and completed forms requesting that my present fence of five feet be raised to eight feet to bring it in scale with the garage at 1433. Since the City's mistake made it possible for the 4 -car garage of extreme height to be completed, I have certainly the right to protect my property values for resale. Mr. Brace has agreed not to raise any objections. believe the $45.00 application fee and the $50.00 permit fee should be waived or absorbed by the City. It was the error made by city officials that is causing a $3,000 expenditure on my part to change my fencing to somewhat obscure the "monstrosity' as the city official called it, and to bring the garage and my fencing into a better scale which enhances the neighborhood by so doing. I spoke of favoritism regarding the garage. I am not asking for a favor. I am terminally ill and believe I have the right of full enjoyment of our garden where we spend all summer. We have planted ten large tress, extensive shrubs, perennials and annuals. We have enhanced the immediate neighborhood and all of Falcon Heights benefits. To deny the request to waive the fees or a variance would be unjust. Sincerely, Ray V.

The affected area includes the 2100 block of Folwell Avenue and the 2100 block of Hoyt Avenue. The plat will legally re- establish lot lines eliminated by the 1666 Coffman plat, and will not change commonly understood property boundaries. The University is also requesting variances from the subdivision regulations. Section 9 -17.04 Subdivision 2 of the subdivision ordinance requires that minor and collector streets maintain a minimum right -of -way of 60 feet. The University is requesting a 10 foot variance for Folwell Avenue to allow for the existing 50 foot right of way. Section 9 -17.04 Subdvision 4 of the subdivision ordinance requires 10 foot drainage and utility easements along all lot lines. The University is requesting a variance to allow no such easements along the re- platted lots. The conditions of both variances are consistent with Auditor's Subdivision 90, which pre -dates the enactment of these particular requirements. On 2/22/93, the planning commission unanimously approved the preliminary and final plat and both variances. ATTACHMENTS: A. Diagram of proposed plat B. Engineer's report dated February 8, 1993 C.

These lots were originally platted in Auditor Subdivision No. 90 and built in the early 1960's. An error was made in 1990 with the recording of Registered Land Survey No. 484. This Registered Land Survey included the area over these lots as one large Tract D. This automatically eliminated the lot lines as established in Auditor Subdivision No. 90 and created a title problem for all the property owners. The purpose of the proposed plat of University Grove Subdivision No. 2 is to re- establish the original lot lines. Our review comments are as follows: The plat we reviewed was dated December 21, 1992, and prepared by Egan, Field, Nowak, Inc., Surveyors. Lot configuration and dimensions are consistent with the original lot lines in Auditors Subdivision No. 90. By the current City ordinance, 10.00 foot drainage and utility easements are required along all lot lines. However, there are no easements on any of the adjacent lots to this subdivision. If the easements are not to be required, this should be done by a variance to the subdivision. V 4L Folwell Avenue is being dedicated as a 50.00 foot right -of -way, which is consistent with Auditors Subdivision No. 90, but is required to be 60.00 feet by ordinance. A tariance for this subdivision is required for the reduced right -of -way width. 11\ 1959 SLOAN PLACE, SUITE 200, ST.

FSK:tp 030-0806.feb ij 4 DRAFT RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCE FOR UNIVERSITY GROVE SUBDIVISION NUMBER 2 On February 22, 1993 the Falcon Heights planning commission recommended the following variances for University Grove Subdivision Number 2, consisting of 2151, 2161, 2173, 2148, 2154, 2160 2170 Folwell Avenue and 2141, 2147 2153 Hoyt Avenue, for approval by the city council: Minor collector street right of way. Chapter 9, Section 17.04, Subdivision 2. A variance of 10 feet for Folwell Avenue to permit a 50 foot right of way. Drainage utility easements. Chapter 9, Section 17.04, Subdivision 4. A variance to allow no drainage or utility easements along the platted lots of this subdivision. The planning commission adopted the following findings for granting the variances for University Grove Subdivision Number 2: a. That 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 for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights by re- establishing previous property lines and right of ways; d. That the variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property; e. That the variance will not impair the orderly use of the public streets; f. That the variance will not increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety; g. That the legal boundary history of the tract is such that strict adherence to the letter of the Chapter would result in undue hardship to the owner.

Mr. Bruce recommended a contract with a set cap for service rather than working on the hourly rate of $35 /hour. After meeting with Jerry Skelly, to go over the existing system, Mr. Bruce submitted the attached contract for $1,550. He roughly anticipates the audio and video upgrade to cost between $20,000 and $25,000. Therefore, the contract is about 6 1/2% of the total project cost (including contract amount). The report from Mr. Bruce will itemize the equipment and give estimated costs to help the city to determine how to budget for future purchases. The contract provides for his review of specifications and overseeing the installation of the work. Staff recommends contracting with Mr. Bruce to provide technical expertise and oversight for the equipment. The supervision of the installation of equipment can be broken separately into an audio cost and video cost, if the systems are installed separately. ATTACHMENTS: A Contract proposal from Mr. Bill Bruce, dated 28 February 1993 ACTION REQUESTED: Approve contract with Mr. Bill Bruce for audio /visual equipment for $1,550. This will come out of the capital funds because it is part of a capital improvement project. i _•'::'.:iiiiiii .i.,.......>:a::at.: February 28, 1993 Ms. Susan Hoyt City Administrator City of Falcon Heights 2077 W.

APPROVAL OF AGENDA /APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The commission members had a planning session with E -Z Recycling. The rest of the agenda was held over for approval /discussion /action at the March meeting. E -Z Recycling, Inc. was represented by Chris Reinhardt, Chuck Human, and Brian Koppy (Coordination Manager). Chris Reinhardt suggested city hall use a 90 gallon container for office paper. Office paper will include white and pastel bond, all computer paper, white and pastel envelopes (without plastic windows and self -stick labels), white and pastel forms, yellow legal pad paper, adding machine paper, telephone message slips, letterhead paper, tablet and note pad paper, uncoated fax paper. Items not accepted are carbon paper, newspaper, magazines and catalogs, telephone books, plastic window envelopes, file folders, blue print paper, coated fax paper, food wrappers and containers, tissue paper, and rubber bands (occasional paper clips and staples acceptable). The city will complete a revised listing of acceptable recycled items to be sent to all residents via the city newsletter. This listing will be reviewed by E -Z prior to printing. A calendar of pickup dates will be printed on the back. E -Z will provide a short bio as an introduction to the residents. Delivery date is set for March 1, 1993. E -Z accepts mixed glass (still in unbroken form) and labels no longer need to be removed from cans. Cardboard that is not small and placed in paper bags must be bundled with string and no larger than 3'x 3'. Now that glass no longer needs to be separated; Shirley Chenoweth asked that she be notified of any multi -units with extra containers the city needs elsewhere. Chenoweth also reminded E -Z that the Community Center located on Roselawn and Cleveland needs the pop container bins empty during warm months. Locations were confirmed and sample contracts were made available to Chenoweth. Reinhardt served on the Ramsey County Solid Waste Advisory Board and confirmed that the city of Falcon Heights has regularly lead or been one of the top recyclers in Ramsey County in terms of the list of items recycled and the amounts per household. OTHER INFORMATION: Kuettel and Chenoweth will be unable to attend the March meeting. Kuettel made a motion, seconded by Nancy Misra; the meeting ended at 8:31pm. Respectfully submitted, Laura Kuettel MINUTES Solid Waste Commission Meeting 7 January 1993 Terry Iverson 'called the meeting to order at'7:08 p.m. COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: John Brynaldson, Mike Haglund, John Hustad, Laura Kuettel, Lyle Wray, Shirley Chenoweth,,staff representative, and Sam Jacobs council liaison. COMMISSION MEMBERS ABSENT: Marty McCleery, Nancy Misra and Susan Smith. SUSAN SMITH MEMO: Susan Smith did not attend this Commission meeting. This was due to a possible conflict of.interest with the Solid Waste Commission reviewing bids and recommending a recycler for 1993 -94 to the city council. Her firm does work for one of the bidders on the recycling contract for the city. REVIEW OF RECYCLING PROPOSALS: The Solid Waste Commission reviewed the specifications of the bids sent in by recyclers for 1993 -94. This was covered in the Recycling Proposal Summary. BFI, E -Z, Knutson, Supercycle and Waste Management were the companies submitting bids for the recycling contract. Representatives from Knutson, E -Z and Supercycle attended the Commission meeting. All bidderswere aware-that they could attend the commission meeting and provide input on this matter.- Each of the companies gave a presentation to•the commission. Following is a brief 'description of 'each -companies' presentation: Knutson 'foresees no 'changes in it's bid to‘ city when 'new products for recycling come on line. Knutson's revenue sharing with the city depends onsthe markets -for recycled materials. They don't,' however, see in any major problems that would affect the market and the revenue sharing With Falcon Heights. They also felt'that they had done a good job in servicing the city in the current contract which they hold. E -Z They have been around for about five years and are close to Falcon Heights. According to their representative,' they have an excellent track record and currently serve such cities as Spring Lake Park, Orono and parts of St. Paul such as Frogtown. It does pick up phone books. It was incorrectly stated on the Recycling Proposal Summary as E -Z not picking them up. In addition, it would have a guaranteed revenue sharing with the city and the cost per household was the lowest of the various bids submitted to the city. Supercycle This company had been Falcon Heights recycler up until two years ago. They felt they had done a good job. Supercycle currently serves about eighty percent of the city of St. Paul. They know the layout of Falcon Heights well and are able to reroute in areas where trucks would be a problem such as around schools. Rates are guaranteed for the life of the contract. DISCUSSION AND QUESTIONS FOLLOWING THE PRESENTATIONS: Sam Jacobs asked Supercycle how it handled toxics. It's representative said that it would coordinate it with the city but did not pick them up at curbside due to liability issues. The E -Z representatives said that they would pick up many of the items that Supercycle collects. Knutson and E -Z representatives responded to a question on rerouting in problem areas by the commission. They could reroute if there was a problem in the community. Supercycle in it's presentation was willing to reroute. Knutson picks up recycling 29 times a year in its bid (every two weeks). E -Z and Supercylce 24 times a year (twice a month) but could also do it every two weeks. The discussion and questions ended at this time. The representatives from the companies where thanked for their time and input. RECOMMENDATION: After the recyclers left the meeting, the commission discussed the various bids. The commission was impressed with all the firms and the bids submitted. It decided it would recommend E -Z to the city for the recycling contract for March of 1993 unitl February of 1994. This decision was based primarily on the fact that E -Z's rates were the lowest and funds are tight in city government. Other facts considered included; EZ's revenue sharing was guaranteed, it picked up many of the same products as the other haulers submitting bids and there would be minimal problems if any in the transition from the current recycler to EZ. John Hustad made a motion to recommend EZ to the city council as the city's recycler for March 1993 to February 1994. It was seconded by Laura Kuettel. Recommendation was approved unanimously. A recommendation was drafted and will be sent to the city council. (See attachment for a copy of the recommendation) APPROVAL OF MINUTES: John Brynildson made a motion to approve tht minutes of the 5 November 1992 meeting. Seconded by Michael Haglund. Motion passed. REVIEW OF TONNAGE REPORTS: The commission reviewed the tonnage reports for November of 1992. PREPARATION OF 1992 WORK REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL: The commission would take the previous years report and update it. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: Shirley Chenoweth gave an update on shrubs and trees. She said Ramsey County is trying to get the legislature not to include the county in it's ban on the burning of trees and shrubs. The county wants to get a waiver as it is the most populous county in the state and is running out of space to landfill this material. Laura Kuettel would like someone else to take over the duties as secretary. She will not be able to in the future due to other commitments. She asked that it be put on the agenda for the next meeting. Terry Iverson reviewed a news letter on recycled products with the commission. The news letter was put out by the Vinyl Institue. John Brynildson moved that the meeting be adjourned. It was seconded.by Laura Kuettel. Meeting adjourned at 8:35 P.M. Respectfully Submitted, Michael W. Haglund RECOMMENDATION TO THE FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL FROM THE SOLID WASTE COMMISSION January 7, 1993 WHEREAS, the Solid Waste Commission issued the request for proposals for the recycling services; and WHEREAS, the Solid Waste Commission received five responses; and WHEREAS, the Solid Waste Commission met with the bidders and thoroughly reviewed the proposals; WHEREAS, the commission determined that E -Z Recycling can reduce the monthly cost by 7.6% and will increase our collectibles to include phone books and office paper, and had positive references; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Solid Waste Commission recommends the contract be awarded to E -Z Recycling, Inc. for the period of March 1, 1993 to February 28, 1994 on a 1st and 3rd Friday of the month pickup basis. WORKSHOP DISCUSSION TOPICS SATURDAY 8:30 AM 24 APRIL 1993 This is intended to be a very informal workshop to discuss 'a variety of important topics.

Status and future of the cooperative activities and discussions a. Roseville b. Lauderdale 3. Audio /visual update 4. Approach to planning for Larpenteur Avenue 5. Personnel planning 6. Budgeting for 1994 a. specific items b. capital expenditures let's see where we are and plan for the future MEETING NOTICE CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP DATE: 24 APRIL 1993 TIME: 8:30 AM TO 10:30 AM PLACE: CITY HALL 1 April 1993 Mayor and Councilmembers: Here are a couple of additions to the update you just received. I anticipate that the pawn shop that did not receive a business license due to the city's moratorium may be pursuing legal channels to open its business. City attorney, Peter Bachman, is aware of this and is doing any necessary legal work associated with this. I met with Carol Erickson and John Thein of the Roseville School District to discuss a variety of mutual interests. They said that the Falcon Heights Elementary School plans are moving ahead and the project will begin this summer. They said that they are anxious to work with the city on any community oriented site improvements, once the school construction and related improvements are completed. This will give the school district time to see how the new facilities work and fit onto the space before any community site improvements are undertaken. san
