Maurer presented the bids received for the 1993 street project
and commented on the fact that the bids came in higher than
anticipated. He recommended that the water main replacement,
which was bid as an alternate, be deleted as St. Paul Water
Utility will replace the main at a later date if necessary. He
also suggested that testing be deleted from the project as that
can be coordinated though the inspector on the job. Maurer then
recommended proceeding with the assessment roll at the same rates

A RESOLUTION SCHEDULING THE HEARING ON THE PROPOSED
ASSESSMENT FOR THE 1993 STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
BID AWARDED FOR $1,075,000 G.O. IMPROVENENT BONDS, SERIES 1993
Fiscal consultant David Maroney explained that the bids were
opened at 11 :00 a.m., Wednesday, April 14, 1993 and presented the

DISCUSSION REGARDING RATE OF INTEREST TO BE CHARGED ON PROPOSED
ASSESSMENT FOR 1993 STREET ASSESSMENT
Hoyt explained that it is necessary that staff have an indication
of the interest rate in order to prepare the assessment roll for
the hearing. A discussion ensued regarding whether or not it was
appropriate to charge 8% as previously discussed in view of the
low interest rate on the bonds for the project. Gehrz abstained
from the discussion as her property is in the assessment area.
Jacobs indicated he did not feel 8% was not unreasonable over a
ten year period. Baldwin commented on the fact that he dislikes

making money off the tax payers and that they should also benefit
from the low interest rate. Both Baldwin and Ciernia felt that 2%
over the bond interest rate (6.5 would be appropriate.
Baldwin asked Maurer how other communities determine the rate to
which Maurer replied that some communities he works for follow
the 2% above the bond interest procedure. A vote will be taken
on the issue at the April 28, 1993 meeting.
FORESTER'S REPORT FOR 1992
Forester Linda Treeful presented the report, responded to

CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Application for a business license for Falcon
Heights General Store at 1537 West Larpenteur
SUBMITTED BY: John Mutschler on behalf of the business owner,
Mr. David B. Johnson
REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
Peter Bachman, City Attorney
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
Mr. Mutschler has applied for a business license. He has been
informed of the moratorium on all new business licenses except
for those specifically listed as permitted uses in the commercial
zoning code, in this case B 2.
Mr. Mutschler states that this business is eligible as a
permitted use in the code. After discussions with Mr. Mutschler
about the nature of the proposed business activity, staff
recommends that the license be denied at this time under the
terms of the moratorium for the following reasons:
1. Mr. Mutschler stated that the business is in general retail
sales of miscellaneous new and used goods purchased from
vendors, trade shows, close -outs and walk -in customers. The
majority of the goods will be used. This makes the business
a secondhand goods dealer. Secondhand goods dealers are not
permitted uses in the B 2 zone.
2. The planning study will be addressing secondhand stores
and approving a license for this use now would run counter
to the purpose of the study and the intent of the
moratorium.
ATTACHMENTS:
A Statement from Mr. Mutschler
B Moratorium
C B -2 permitted and conditional uses
ACTION REQUESTED:
Deny the business license application.

CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS
ORDINANCE NO. 0 -93 -1
Amendment to Chapter 5 —Part 15 (existing code)
Chapter 5 Section 5 (proposed code)
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A DEVELOPMENT MORATORIUM ON THE
CITY'S COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICTS
Subd. 1 Authority. Pursuant to M.S. §462.355 Subd. 4, the
city has the authority to establish interim ordinances to
maintain the status quo while the city is conducting
studies, has authorized a study to be conducted or has
scheduled a public hearing to consider adoption or amendment
of the comprehensive plan or official zoning controls.
Subd. 2 Findings and purpose. In 1991 the city council
adopted a comprehensive plan for the city. The 'Metropolitan
Council approved that plan in April, 1992. A recommendation
in the city's comprehensive plan included studying and
•revising the city's commercial districts to conform to the
y plan and address future needs. =In :October, 1992, the city
+cou contracted with the Hoisington Group, ;Inc to c
ou a Tannin y
a p g study on ali ,the city s commercial zones, to
e va luate th ap p ropriat es r the commercial zon Ito
5 r ev a luate and recommend changes in t :commercial zoning
designations, to- work with the property _owners to determine
future needs and to make recommendations to the e planning
commission and council ,for revising _the commercial r-
zoning code provisions. The Hoisin G inc the
planning commission are currently working on this task.
The city council 'has `concluded that the
y granting of any
permits or development approval, as specifically set forth
in subd. 3, could destroy or impair the integrity of the
planning process and that a development moratorium is
necessary to preserve the status quo pending completion of
the planning study.
It is the intention of the city council to protect the
described planning process and the health, safety and
welfare of its citizens by adopting an interim ordinance for
a reasonable period of time during the time period of the

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Consider authorizing purchase of additional
multi -unit recycling containers
SUBMITTED BY: Shirley Chenoweth, City Clerk
REVIEWED BY:
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY: Due to the collection of additional products
and multi -unit residents' increased participation in the city's
recycling program, the supply of multi -unit containers has been
depleted. Staff is recommending that an expenditure of $600.00
be authorized to provide for the purchase of 10 additional
containers to accommodate these residents. Staff also recommends
that the containers be funded from the fees paid by city
residents for recycling collection. Adequate funds are available
for this purchase due to the reduced cost of collection under the
present recycling contract.
ACTION REQUESTED: Authorize expenditure of $600.00 for
purchase of additional multi -unit
recycling containers to be funded from
recycling collection fees.

CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Park Improvement Expenditures
SUBMITTED BY: Carol Kriegler, Parks Rec Director
REVIEWED BY:
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY: City staff makes the following
recommendations for park related improvements:
1. Purchase of a "Landscape Structures" bicycle rack for
use at city hall. The rack is portable, 5 feet in
length, single faced, and will accommodate 4 bicycles.
Cost: $154.00
2. Purchase and installation of 4 "Landscape Structures"
heavy duty basketball units for the Community Park
hardcourt. Each unit consists of a curved post system
(6 foot extension), backboard and heavy duty twin rim
goal. Installation of new standards is recommended for
the following reasons:
(A) Maintenance. The existing standards require
backboard and /or rim replacement or repair a
couple of times per year. There tends to be a
significant down time for the standards each
season.
(B) Safety. When the hardcourt was resurfaced and
striped last fall, it was done so that the baseline
was inset 2 feet from the bituminous edge and so
that the backboard was inset 4 feet from the baseline.
This is consistent with accepted standards and
guidelines for a hardcourt basketball surface. These
standards insure adequate clearance between the
playing area and the edge of the bituminous and
standard. The existing standards and backboards are
flush with the bituminous edge creating a potentially
unsafe condition.
(C) Function. The placement of the new standards will
provide for a north -south orientation that will be
almost a standard full- court. In addition, one of the
two alternate standards will be set at a junior
height for younger participants.
Landscape Structures is the suggested manufacturer of the
standards for two reasons. First, the standard is considered the
superior product in that it is best suited to withstand heavy use
and abuse. Secondly, this is the same standard that is installed
at Curtiss Field. For maintenance purposes, it is desirable to
maintain consistency on such items.
Page 2
Agenda Item C 4
Following are the costs of comparable basketball standards:
Landscape Structures: $985.00 ea.
Burke: $900.00 ea.
Recreational Resurfacers: $1,500.00 ea. (installed)
$6,000 is budgeted for basketball standards in the '93 capital
improvement program. Although the standards will cost $3,940.00,
it is possible that installation could cost as much as $2,120.00.
City staff is studying various installation options. Those
options include installation by public works, contracting for
installation, or installation by E. F. Anderson ($2,120.00), the
source of the standard.
3. Community Park Ballfield Repair. The repair /reconstruction
of the Community Park ballfield was a planned expenditure for
1992. It was determined that it was not possible to accomplish
this project in -house until public works acquired the new John
Deere tractor in 1993. This project will entail "skinning" a
regulation sized softball infield at the current ballfield
location. The infield will be cut 4 -5" deep, filled 1 -2" with
street sweepings and sand, and topped with 3 -4" of ag rock. The
end result will be a much improved infield and reduced
maintenance. It is estimated that the cost of the sand and ag
rock will be $1,200 $1,500.
ACTION REQUESTED: Authorization to purchase a "Landscape
Structures" bike rack; authorization to purchase 4 "Landscape
Structures" basketball standards and arrange for the method
of installation determined to be most cost effective; and
authorization to purchase sand and ag rock as needed for the
reconstruction of the Community Park ballfield.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Establishing an interest rate for the 1993
street improvement project's property
assessments
SUBMITTED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
REVIEWED BY: Discussed with city engineer, Terry Maurer
Discussed with financial consultant, Steve
Apfelbacher
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
At the April 14, 1993 the city sold $1,075,000 in general
obligation bonds to finance the city's 1993 street improvement
project. The bonds were sold at a 4.4142 net interest rate over
ten years. The council proposed adopting a 6.5% interest rate
for ten years for property owners by adding 2% to the net
interest rate. This will cover the costs of issuing the bonds
and administering the assessments. This is a fairly typical rate
to add for the interest to charge property owners.
f
ACTION REQUESTED:
Adopt 6 1/2% interest rate for assessments to property owners'
for the 1993 street improvement project.

ITEM: Proposed deletion of §9- 2.15(304)(e) of the zoning code
relating to building permit fees
SUBMITTED BY: Planning Commission
Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
EXPLANATION /DESCRIPTION:
304(e). Allocation of Building Permit Fees. The
Building Inspector shall be paid as his fee for
services rendered 25 percent of any plan checking fee.
The Fire Department shall be reimbursed for all actual
time involved with plan checking not to exceed 25
percent of any plan checking fee. Any portion of the
25 percent not expended by the Fire Department shall be
credited to the Fire Department Capital Improvement
Fund. The remaining portion of the permit /plan check
fees shall be retained by the city.
This section of the zoning code no longer accurately reflects how
the building official is paid. The current arrangement is to pay
the building official a set rate of $500 a month rather than a
fee related to individual building permit charges.
The fire department covers its costs out of the general fund
budget. All revenues received for this work go into the general
fund budget. There is no need to assign specific revenue to the
fire department.
The Planning Commission recommended this change.
ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Adopt deletion of §9 2.15 {304}(e) of the zoning code.
Date: 4/28/93
Agenda item: P -3
ITEM: Proposed amendment to the sign ordinance 9- 13.02 {11} to
address 'displays not constituting signs'
SUBMITTED BY: Planning Commission
Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
EXPLANATION /DESCRIPTION:
From time to time the city gets requests for 'displays not
constituting signs', usually inflated balloons. The city's sign
code does not clearly identify when and how these should be
permitted. In the past the council approved inflated devices.
However, the policy is unclear and has led to problems,
especially during the State Fair. Two years ago, an inflated
balloon above a store in Bullseye collapsed due to a power brown-
out and the traffic lights went out. The balloon collapsed onto
electrical wires and started a fire. During the Fair the
Snelling /Larpenteur intersection already has alot of distractions
and traffic accidents, the addition of inflated balloons may add
to that hazard, even if there are no brown -outs. It is unclear
that these types of businesses benefit from the traffic on the
way to the Fair.
Staff recommends that Falcon Heights adopt similar restrictions
to Shoreview and Roseville regarding 'displays not constituting
signs' which allows up to a five day permit for a device for a
grand opening or special civic event. It also recommends that
aerial search lights be deleted as a temporary use due to the
close proximity of residential and commercial land uses in the
city.
Planning commission recommendation as of March 22, 1993:
Existing:
9 -13.03 [11] Displays not constituting signs. Animal displays,
pieces of sculpture, fountains, aerial search lights or other
displays or features which direct attention to an object,product,
place, activity, person, institution, organization or business
yet not defined herein as such or commonly considered a sign,
shall comply requirements of Section 9- 13.03.
Be revised to:
9 -13.02 [11] Displays not constituting signs. Banners, pennants,
whirling devices, balloons, animal displays, lights, or other
displays or features which direct attention to an object,
product, place, activity, person, institution, business are not
permitted in any zone except in a business zone for business
grand openings or special civic events. One display not
i

constituting a sign' may be granted to a specific business or
shopping center for these events. No more than one 'display not
constituting a sign' may be granted for a shopping center or
building at one time. On such occasions, a temporary sign permit
for up to five consecutive days may be issued by the city. The
permit will be granted under the condition that any hazards are
addressed and that all requirements in Section 9 -13.01 are met.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Adopt the proposed amendments to §9- 13.02 {11} regarding 'displays
not constituting signs'.
