NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS TO BE SCHEDULED FOR DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED
ALLEY RECONSTRUCTION IN 1994
Hoyt explained that alleys in the Northome neighborhood are badly
in need of repair and the condition of the alleys may make it
desirable to make some or all of the alleys a priority for
reconstruction in 1994. To begin the project, staff would meet
with neighborhood residents to discuss their concerns. Baldwin
commented that he felt council should look at the assessment
policy which presently stipulates that property owners abuting
alleys will be assessed 100% for alley construction. He felt
this should be reviewed since alleys do not benefit just abuting
property owners but delivery trucks, garbage trucks, etc.
Staff is tentatively planning a May 25, 1993 meeting with the
property owners.
ACCEPTANCE OF $500 DONATION FROM ROSETOWN AMERICAN LEGION TO
ASSIST IN FUNDING OF THE CITY'S NATIONAL NIGHT
Hoyt explained that Neighborhood Watch organizer, Judy Sabean, is
organizing a citywide national night out celebration and has
arranged for donations. Rosetown American Legion is proposing to
donate $500, however, the amount cannot be donated to an
individual. The city may accept the donation which will be used
for the city's night out celebration. Gehrz moved that the city
accept the $500 from Rosetown American Legion which is to be
utilized for the city's night out program. Motion carried
unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED ASSESSMENTS FOR 1993 STREET PROJECT
Baldwin opened the public hearing on the proposed 1993 street
improvement project at 7:20 p.m.
Maurer reviewed the procedure followed in preparing the
assessment costs for the properties. He addressed some of the
objections received from property owners of lots such as lots
with triple or double frontage, a corner lot which fronts on a
street scheduled for overlay with the side lot on a street being
reconstructed, and lots which are narrower at the street area
than at the set back line where measurement for front footage is
calculated. Measuring at the set back line is stipulated in the
city's assessment policy as a means of equalizing assessment
costs among the property owners. He explained that some very
unique lots in the University Grove area were difficult to
calculate as they were not specifically addresssed in the
assessment policy.
Maurer stated that sidewalks were not originally considered as
MINUTES J
MAY 12, 1993
PAGE 3
part of the project, but following informational meetings with
residents indicated that many desired sidewalk replacement. He
explained that residents are being assessed contract costs only
for sidewalks, minus driveway width, with no charge for overhead
or removal of old sidewalks.
Albert Yonas, 1576 Vincent St., owner of a unique lot objected to
the method used to determine front footage of his lot resulting
in a much greater width than if measured at the street and
requested that council reduce the footage by one -half. He also
said he had repaired the sidewalk last year after it was marked
by the city. Council discussed the request and agreed that the
front footage be reduced to 81.5 feet and the sidewalk be
assessed at the frontage along the street minus the 12 foot
driveway or 69.5 feet. Council concurred that this would be more
in line with other assessments in the area.
Donna Senauer, 2292 Folwell, asked if sidewalk replacment is
required and why each property owner could not make the decision
to replace or not replace their sidewalk. She objected to paying
a $400 assessment when her sidewalk has no cracks, undulations,
etc. Maurer explained that during the inspections they look not
only for cracks and other obvious problems, but also for wear,
and that the majority of the walks need replacement. He stressed
that constructing sidewalks with the street contract makes the
cost of sidewalk replacement considerably less than if each
property owner contracted individually for the work.
Baldwin commented on the fact in the past sidewalk
repair /replacement has always been left up to the property
owners, however, now the city is investing a large deal of money
in these sidewalks and must think of the entire city when using
taxpayers money.
Ms. Senauer indicated she wanted her sidewalk reinspected and
reconsidered.
A discussion ensued regarding benefits of sidewalk replacement as
proposed, i.e. cost savings, deleting the need for annual
sidewalk repair letters in this area, a savings in the long run
as homeowners would not have to cover complete cost of
replacement in the future. Baldwin asked if councilmembers
wished to change their minds about proceeding with the sidewalk
project and all responded in the negative.
Ms. Senauer asked if the commons sidewalk would be part of the
project. Maurer said this is University property and including
it at this time would require another public hearing.

Senauer expressed concern that Northern States Power will be
replacing gas lines and meters and might damage trees on her
property and the fact that she was not made aware that there
might be utility work done. Maurer replied that the utility
companies make their own desisions regarding their utilities.
Brenna Quebbemann, 1564 Fulham, wanted to know if there are any
other costs connected with the project other than the assessment
such as charges for utility work, to which Maurer replied in the
negative. Ms. Quebbemann asked why Hoyt residents are being
assessed, to which Maurer replied that some are assessed for
sdewalks only, others on corner lots are assessed for the project
and will not be assessed again if Hoyt is reconstructed.
Frederick Cooper. 2190 Folwell, felt that the project was not a
prudent use of tax money as the repairs are not necessary. He
explained he was out of town for informational meeting and did
not realize the expenses involved. He felt his assessment,
$4,317.68, was a disproportionately heavy burden compared to
other assessments in the area. He objected to the determination
that his front footage was 116 feet when he paced it off at
approxmately 75 feet. Maurer explained that the lot is triple
sided and the assessment policy is not clear on how to address as
the Grove neighborhood is the only area in the city with these
unique types of lots.
It was determined that there were four lots on Burton St. which
have similar problems and council determined that all four lots
should be charged at an 85 foot frontage which represents an
average in that area of the Grove. Baldwin felt this would be
consistent with the philosophy of the assessment policy.
Carolyn Collins, 1603 Northrop, asked how her lot's front footage
was determined. Maurer replied that it was measured at the set
back line as were the others but in this case the front footage
was reduced by 10 feet by measuring at the set back line. Ms.
Collins stated that after receiving the city's July 13, 1992
requiring repair of the sidewalk, they had the entire sidewalk
replaced in conjunction with another home improvement project.
Arrangements had already been made prior to receiving the August
17, 1992 letter informing that a possible 1993 street /sidewalk
project was being considered. She said it cost considerably more
than the city is charging for sidewalks with the street project
($22.00/ft. compared to $8.00 /ft.) and she asked for some
adjustment.
Council discussed possible partial reimbursement based on the
cost the city would have assessed had the property been included
in the 1993 project and agreed that some reimbursement might be
considered. Maurer explained that if the Collins property had
MAY 12, 1993
PAGE 5
been assessed at a 65 foot frontage minus the 12 foot driveway at
$8.00 per foot. Council felt this might be an appropriate
procedure to follow should a claim be received for consideration.
Maurer indicated that only the Collins lot and one other were
excluded from the sidewalk reconstruction due to being in
excellent condition.
Bachman reminded council that they are setting precedent and to
make the window for reimbursement as narrow as possible. Council
agreed that if arrangements were made for complete sidewalk
reconstruction and it is reasonably sure the work was done in
response to the July 13, 1993 letter, the city will consider
reimbursement claims for a portion of the cost providing the
claim is accompanied by a receipted bill for the work. These
claims will be accepted for consideration for 30 days from the
date of this assessment hearing.
Jane McCoid, 2202 Folwell, asked if all sidewalks in the Grove
are being replaced and Maurer replied in the affirmative. Ms.
Mcoid commented on having some sidewalk slabs replaced in the
past and three trees died as a result of having roots cut. She
was informed that the trees were not weakened by the injury, but
the roots should have been treated to protect against the
infestation of dutch elm beetles. She was assured that the city
forester has been working on this street /sidewalk project from
its beginning and will continue to do so.
There being no others wishing to be heard Baldwin closed the
meeting at 8:31 p.m. Baldwin presented the following list of
changes to be made in the assessment roll for the 1993 street
project:
1596 Vincent front footage reduced to 81.5
sidewalk footage reduced to 69.5 ft.
2190 Folwell front footage reduced to 85 ft.
1586 Burton front footage reduced to 85 ft.
1578 Burton front footage reduced to 85 ft.
1564 Burton front footage reduced to 85 ft.
Baldwin declared that these are the only exceptions to the
assessment policy for the 1993 improvement project.
Also noted was the possibility of a claim for partial sidewalk
reimbursement from 1503 Northrop.
Bachman reminded council that they must hear and pass upon all
written objections after which council addressed a written
objection from Norman Fruman, 2180 Folwell, regarding the amount
of his assessment. Mr. Furman's property is on a corner lot, the
short side Folwell) being scheduled for overlay and the long
MAY 12, 1993
PAGE 6
side (Coffman) for reconstuction. Mr. Furman's assessment was
calculated based on the short side footage, but assessed at the
reconstruction rate. Baldwin felt this was consistent with the
assessment policy which provides for using the footage for the
short side when reconstructing the long side and that the
property owner would not be bearing an undue portion of the
project cost.
Baldwin stated that unless he heard otherwise from council the
objection will be denied and passed on to the clerk. Council
made no comments.
In addition to the Fruman objection the following written
objections were also presented.
Jack W. Milder 2111 Hoyt Sidewalk replacement
unnecessary and too
expensive
Clinton T. Johnson 2203 Hoyt Sidewalk replacement
unnecessary except
for one block
Martin McCleery 1918 Autumn Descrepancy in front
footage on plat map
R. B. Hazel Garcia 1906 Prior Descrepancy in front
footage on plat map
A written objection from Frederick Cooper and Helen Griebel
regarding the assessment charge was addressed during the hearing
as Mr. Cooper was in attendance. Some adjustments to the
assessment were made.
There being no further comments from council, Baldwin declared
that all written objections are denied by council and being
passed on to the city clerk. The clerk was directed to notify
those who submitted written objections of the procedure to be
followed if they wish to appeal the assessment.
Ciernia moved the approval of Resolution R -93 -25 adopting the
assessment roll as amended. Motion carried unanimously.

report and indicated the city is in sound financial condition.
Council accepted the report.
APPROVAL TO EXPEND FUNDS FOR LEGAL AND PLANNING STUDIES FOR
COMMERCIAL USES WITH POSSIBLE SECONDARY IMPACTS
Hoyt reviewed the progress to date on the commercial zoning
planning study. As the study precedes it has become apparant
that some commercial uses may be identified as having potential
secondary impacts on the other businesses and neighborhoods. For
this reason staff has recommended that up to $10,000.00 be
expended for additional planning and legal research associated
with this secondary impact study. Hoyt also recommended that the
moratorium now in effect be referred to the planning commission
for review to determine if the moratorium is specific enough.
Gibson Talbot moved that the administrator be authorized to
expend up to $10,000.00 for the study. Motion carried
unaimously.
COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT MORATORIUM TO BE REFERRED TO PLANNING
COMMISSION FOR REVIEW
Jacobs moved that the commercial development moratorium be
referred to the planning commission for review as recommended by
staff. Motion carried unanimously.
COUNCIL WORKSHOP SCHEDULED FOR 5/22/93, 9 :00 11:00 A.M
Baldwin recommended that council schedule a workshop for the
purpose of discussing what "better government" looks like in
Falcon Heights to provide some framework for discussions with
Roseville. He also offered to facilitate the workshop. Council
concurred and scheduled the workshop for Saturday, May 22, 1993,
9:00 11:00 a.m.

activities without formal council acknowledgement. However, the
position on the Board of the Association of Metropolitan
Municipalities (AMM) requires more routine and responsible time
commitments than participating in a committee so the
administrator is asking the council to formally acknowledge this
level of participation.
Hopefully, the administrator is being elected to the Board this
evening.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Acknowledge administrator's participation in the AMM oard.

CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Resolution granting a variance of two feet in
the required five foot sideyard setback (Chapter 9 §2.04
Subdivision 1(c)) at 1447 West California
SUBMITTED BY: Mr. Ronald Jaschob, property owner
REVIEWED BY: Planning Commission
Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
EXPLANATION /DESCRIPTION:
Mr. Jaschob is replacing his existing 20 ft X 22 ft garage with a
new 20 ft. X 22 ft. garage on his property at 1447 West
California Street (see attachment A). Because the garage
requires the removal and the replacement of all materials, it is
being considered a new structure and, therefore, must conform to
the zoning code.
Mr. Jaschob is requesting that the new garage be located in the
same place as the existing garage which is three feet from the
west property line rather than being five feet from.the west side
property line as required by the zoning code. He has two
reasons:
1. If the garage is replaced five feet from the sideyard line
rather than three feet it will require widening his driveway
which will take up green space and require removing a fence
and wood planter.
2. The garage will conform in appearance to the neighbor's
adjacent garage.
As of this writing, Mr. Edwin Voss, the neighbor at 1453 West
California (westside of the property), called to state his
support for the request for a variance.
RECOMMENDATION:
The request for the variance is reasonable and meets the
requirements for granting a variance, particularly 9 -15.03 (c).
ATTACHMENTS:
A. Resolution
B. Site Plan
C. Letter from Mr. Jaschob
ACTION REQUESTED:
Adopt resolution granting a variance of two feet in the westside
setback for 1447 West California for the construction of a new
garage. (Variance in 9 2.04 Subdivision 1(c))

Susan Hoyt, Administrator
City of Falcon Heights
2077 West Larpenteur Avenue
Falcon Heights, MN 55113
Dear Susan Hoyt,
Please consider this request for a variance to the city ordinance regarding the building of a garage on my_
property three (3) feet from the lot line.
My plan is to replace the present garage and concrete floor with a new garage and floor. I have contracted
with the Sussel Corporation to demolish the existing double garage and construct a new double garage on
the existing site which is three (3) feet from my lot line. My lot is adjacent to the property of Edwin
Voss, 1453 West California Avenue (phone 646 1475). His garage is located adjacent to mine and also
three (3) feet from my lot line due west of my property.
Reasons for this variance request are:
The new garage will be in the exact location of the existing garage and will be a positive addition
to the neighborhood. It's design is attractive and its location does not change or disturb the view.
To access the garage from the alley, I will be able to use my present driveway and apron by building
on the same site.
If I have to locate the new garage five (5) feet off the lot line, the driveway will need to be widened, a
fence removed, and my garden, wood planter and lawn disturbed.
The appearance of the garage in the alley will conform much better to the adjacent Voss garage if its
existing location is maintained.
David Weame, 1443 West California Avenue (phone 645- 9792), my neighbor directly east of me
and Mr.Edwin Voss, my neighbor due west of me, both approve of the new garage location three (3)
feet from the property line.
Your consideration of this request is appreciated.
Veily yours,
Ronald Jasc

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Resolution granting a variance in Chapter 9
§13.02, Subdivision 3 (e), the side and front yard setback
requirements for a sign at 1579(B) Hamline Avenue (the Blomberg
building) in a B -2 zone
SUBMITTED BY: Mr. Paul White, proprietor of the Coffee Grounds
Coffee Shop, on behalf of the property owner
REVIEWED BY: Planning Commission
Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
Mr. White, the proprietor of the Coffee Grounds Restaurant, is
requesting a variance in the side and front yard setback
requirements for a pedestal sign for his new business located at
1579(B) Hamline Avenue in the Blomberg Shopping Center.
According to the zoning code Mr. White may put up on a sign that
is ten feet from the front and side yard property lines as long
as it meets height and area requirements. The sign he proposes
is 12 feet high (the maximum is 35 feet) and 24 square feet (6
ft. by 4 ft.). It is within the square footage allowed for the
building.
Mr. White is requesting that the sign be erected two feet from
the southside property line and six feet from the east side
property line so the sign post does not take up a parking space
in the parking area, but is located in a grassy area between the
Hoyt /Hamline Auto Repair Shop and the Blomberg parking lot.
The sign face will be at least two feet from each property line
as required by the zoning code.
The sign face will be seen going north and south on Hamline
Avenue. Mr. White said he will turn off the sign when the
business is closed. No neighbors responded to the notice of the
variance as of this writing.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is reasonable to grant the variance for the sign because it
assures the maintenance of an existing parking place and it
provides identification for a business that is difficult to see
from Hamline Avenue due to its rear location in the Blomberg
Building.
ATTACHMENTS:
A. Proposed Resolution
B. Site plan
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve the variance by adopting a resolution that it meets the
attached standards for granting a variance especially #c with the
conditions that the proprietor turn off the sign when the
business is closed.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Approval of fire hydrant work by the St. Paul
Water Utility as part of the 1993 street
improvement project
SUBMITTED BY: Bill Westerberg, Assistant City Engineer
REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
Two hydrants require relocating and a new hydrant will be
installed as part of the 1993 street project. This work is done
by the St. Paul Water Utility and, therefore, is awarded outside
of the construction contract. The cost of the work is estimated
at $6,122.82. The work is actually charged based upon time and
materials rather than a set bid. (The cost is not included in the
construction project award.)
The city proposes to pay for this work from the city's water
fund.
ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of approximately $6,112.82 of fire
hydrant work from the water fund.

RE: 1993 STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
WATERMAIN
Dear Ms. Hoyt:
As you know, most of the watermain construction on this project has been deleted. However,
there are a few items that must be done by St. Paul Water Utility in conjunction with this project:
Relocate two hydrants.
Furnish and install hydrant and valve.
The estimated total construction cost is $6,112.82, which does not include any overhead. This
construction cost is an estimate. St. Paul Water Utility bills their actual costs to complete the
watermain work.
For St. Paul Water Utility to go ahead with this work, they need a letter from the City of Falcon
Heights telling them to proceed..
If you have any questions or require further information, please call.
Sincerely,

In addition, the Council approved the following amendments to city policy
to comply with ADA requirements:
1. Administrative Manual amendments:
a. Employment:
Section 4, Subdivision 1 Employment Selection Criteria:
Substitute the word "qualifications" for "fitness," and modify
the discrimination statement to conform to state statute, so that
the second sentence of the subdivision reads:
"All appointments will be made according to merit and
Qualifications and will in no way discriminate against any person
because of race, color, creed, religion, national origin,
political affiliation, gender, marital status, public assistance
status, disability, age or sexual preference."
Section 4, Subdivision 3 Physical Examinations:
Delete.
Section 6, Subdivision 4 Sick Leave:
Substitute the phrase, "certifying the need for his or her
absence," for the phrase "indicating the nature of their
illness," so that the fourth sentence of the subdivision reads:
"An employee with an extended absence of three days or more may
be requested to file a physician's statement, signed by the
employee, certifying the need for his or her absence."
b. Emergency Evacuation:
The following statement shall be included in the administrative
manual under a new heading, "Emergency Evacuation of Persons

will assist physically challenged individuals in the event of an
emergency evacuation of City Hall that occurs during normal
business hours."
2. Standard Contract Clause:
The following clause shall be included in all future city
contracts as part of the general conditions of the agreement:
"(Name of vendor) agrees to comply with Minnesota Statutes 181.59
and with the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act, relating to
non discrimination."
3. Grievance Procedure Notification:
The following notice shall be published in the City newsletter
and announced as a public service over the City's cable
television programming on a regular basis:
"The City of Falcon Heights does not discriminate on the basis of
race, color, creed, religion, national origin, political
affiliation, gender, marital status, public assistance status,
disability, age or sexual preference. If you believe you have
been the subject of discrimination and wish to file a grievance
with the city, please contact the City Administrator at
644- 5050."
4. Publicization of TDD Numbers:
City letterhead, business cards, and telephone directory listings
shall include Telephone Devices for the Deaf (TDD) access
numbers.
5. Location of Self Evaluation Document:
The city clerk shall maintain a file of the city's A.D.A. self
evaluation document. The file shall be available to the public
for three years after the date of the document's completion.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM:
A. SFT F- EVALUATION PROCESS:
The ADA requires all public entities to evaluate their programs, policies and
practices to identify and correct any that are not consistent with the ADA: that is, any that
discriminate against or prevent participation by individuals with disabilities. All interested
persons, including those with disabilities or organizations representing them, must be given
an opportunity to participate in the self evaluation process by serving as consultants or by
submitting comments. Public notices should clearly identify the purpose and goals of the
self evaluation. A method for considering and, if necessary, acting on the comments
received should be established. The final self- evaluation document should show how
public comments and participation are incorporated into the self evaluation process. The
document also should show the public entity's assessment of such comments and
participation. The evaluation should be kept on file for three years, and should list -the
persons consulted or heard from, the areas considered, the problems identified, and the
modifications or changes made.
1. Are individuals with varying disabilities or individuals from organ»ations
representing people with disabilities participating in the self evaluation process?
Yes No
If you answered no, you should attempt to gain participation and document your
efforts.
2. Please list those participating (name, organization, affiliation, address and
phone number).
-25-
3. Have you established a method to consider and act on comments?
Yes No
If you answered no, you should develop a method to incorporate comments.
4. Have you identified the location where your Self Evaluation document will be
retained for up to three years?
Yes X No
If you answered no, you should do so.
B. ACCESSIBI 1TY OF FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS:
The ADA requires agencies to operate each service, program or activity so that the
service, program or activity, when viewed in its entirety, is readily accessible to and usable
by people with all types of disabilities. The ADA also requires that all facilities be
accessible to individuals with disabilities. The strongest case your agency can make for its
accessibility to Minnesotans with all types of disabilities will be their actual use of your
services, programs and activities.
5. Do citizens with differing disabilities use your services, programs or activities?
Yes No
If you answered no, you should analyze your services, programs and activities to find out
the reasons for nonparticipation.
6. List all the programs, types of services and activities your agency provides to
the public. Have you developed a procedure to ensure that all these services, programs
and activities are readily accessible to people with all types of disabilities?
YesX. No
If you answered no, you should establish such a procedure.
7. Have you reviewed your facilities to identify any structural barriers and
determine whether each location is accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities?
Yes/ No
If you answered no, such a review should take place.
8. Have you reviewed your building and construction policies to ensure that the
construction of any new facility or part of a facility, or the alteration of any existing facility

Yes No
If you answered no, such a review o d Federal Accessib� ADA
Standards (UFAS) any new
construction conform to either the Uniform
Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG).
-26-
C. POLICIES AND PRACTICES:
The ADA prohibits agencies from imposing policies or practices that directly or
indirectly prevent or limit individuals with disabilities from participating in agency
programs, services or activities. For example, requiring presentation of driver's license as
the sole means of identification for the purpose of paying by a check would discriminate
against individuals with severe vision impairments who are ineligible to receive driver's
licenses.
9. Identify all sources of agency policies, induding statutes, regulations, policy
directives, guidance memoranda, manuals and other guidelines. Have you reviewed all
policies and modified, where necessary, any policies that have the direct or indirect effect
of excluding or limiting the participation of people with disabilities in agency programs and
activities?
Yes X No
If you answered no to this question, you should review and modify your policies where
necessary.
10. Have you identified, reviewed and modified, where necessary, eligibility,
testing or admission criteria or licensing standards and procedures that would limit or
exclude participation of individuals with disabilities? Particular attention should be paid to
criteria or standards incorporating or establishing the following.
physical or mental fitness or performance requirements;
safety standards;
testing requirements;
educational requirements;
work experience requirements;
income level requirements;
credit rating requirements;
requirements based on disability;
requirements that prohibit participation because of disability;
insurability requirements; and
licensure and certification requirements.
YeJ No
If you answered no, you must review eligibility and admission criteria to ensure programs
are accessible to all quahfied /eligible indivicr"als with disabilities.
11. If your agency limits or denies participation in its programs, activities or
services based on drug usage, you should make sure that such policies do not discriminate
against former drug users, as opposed to individuals who are currently engaged in illegal
use of drugs. Do you have policies to avoid discrimination against former drug users?
Yes No NA
If you answered no, you should modify your policies appropriately.
-27-
12. Has your agency established a mechanism to ensure that its employment
practices and policies do not discriminate against individuals with disabilities?

NOTE: The Minnesota Department of Employee Relations will provide guidance on
completion of a separate Self Evaluation of employment practices.
13. Do any of your programs provide separate services or accommodations to
individuals with disabilities?

If you answered yes, you should ensure that the programs for individuals with disabilities
offer comparable services to the regular programs and that individuals with disabilities are
not denied access to the regular programs if they so choose.
14. Are disabled persons excluded from participation in any of your agency's
services, programs or activities because of the location of the facility or room in which the
activity takes place?

program or would result in undue harcichip.
15. Are your programs, services and activities administered in the most integrated
setting appropriate to the needs of individuals with disabilities?
Yes^ No
If you answered no, you should evaluate your programs to ensure they are offered in
the most integrated setting appropriate to the needs of individuals with disabilities.

CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Claim for sidewalk reconstruction done by
property owner prior to the 1993 street
project
SUBMITTED BY: Ms. Carolyn Collins, 1603 Northrop
REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
At the assessment hearing for the 1993 street project on May 12,
1993, Ms. Collins stated that she had replaced 100 feet (97 feet
in front of her house) of sidewalk in the public right -of -way in
1992 in response to a letter dated July 13, 1992 from the city
asking that the property owner repair the portion of the sidewalk
with yellow marking(s)in front of his /her property at 1603
Northrop. A letter from the city dated August 17, 1992 suggested
that property owners merely patch any sidewalk problems due to
the upcoming street project in 1993. The letter did not state
that the city planned to include sidewalks in the street project
because the detailed street plans were not known at that time.
Mrs. Collins went ahead with her plans to repour her sidewalk as
part of a remodeling project in the fall of 1992 for a cost of
$2,250.
After listening to Mrs. Collins concerns about paying for
sidewalk replacement at a cost higher than she would have been
assessed for replacement in 1993, the council agreed to reimburse
her for what the city would have assessed her for her sidewalk
reconstruction 82 feet minus 12 feet of driveway or 70 ft.) for
560.00.
70 ft. X 8/ ft 560.00
The city is covering approximately 3.50/ front foot of the
sidewalk reconstruction costs (outside of the driveways) as part
of the street project. This would be 350 for 100 foot of
sidewalk, which was the amount replaced by the Collins's in 1992.
ATTACHMENTS:
A Minutes from May 12, 1993; Collins's bill for $2,250
B Sidewalk letters dated July 13, 1992 and August 19, 1992
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve claim for advance sidewalk reconstruction in the amount
of 560 as determined at the assessment hearing on May 12, 1993.
Consent Consent Consent Consent Consent Consent Consent Consent
in 2/93 4
Carolyn Collins, 1603 Northrop, asked how her lot's front footage
was determined. Maurer replied that it was measured at the set
back line as were the others but in this case the front footage
was reduced by 10 feet by measuring at the set back line. Ms.
Collins stated that after receiving the city's July 13, 1992
requiring repair of the sidewalk, they had the entire sidewalk
replaced in conjunction with another home improvement project.
Arrangements had already been made prior to receiving the August s
17, 1992 letter informing that a possible 1993 street /sidewalk
project was being considered. She said it cost considerably more
than the city is charging for sidewalks with the street project
($22.00 /ft. compared to $8.00 /ft.) and she asked for some
adjustment.
Council discussed possible partial reimbursement based on the
cost the city would have assessed had the property been included
in the 1993 project and agreed that some reimbursement might be
considered. Maurer explained that if the Collins property had
been assessed at a 65 foot frontage minus the 12 toot ariveway at
$8.00 per foot. Council felt this might be an appropriate
procedure to follow should a claim be received for consideration.
Maurer indicated that only the Collins lot and one other were
excluded from the sidewalk reconstruction due to being in
excellent condition. Da4,,zet. u ,t4 A 4 L 41, G E 61_,,i,,,4;; R 0 E-R

During a recent inspection of sidewalks, the sidewalk at the above
address was identified as being in need of repair. It's important
to keep sidewalks in good repair for public safety and to enhance
the quality of the residential neighborhood. According to our city
code, property owners are responsible for the maintenance of
sidewalks in Falcon heights. Please remedy this hazardous
condition within sixty days.
Thank you for your cooperation in helping to make our city a safe
and attractive place.
17 August 1992
Dear Property Owner:
Over the past two weeks you may have noticed a yellow mark on the
sidewalk in front of your property. This mark indicates that the
sidewalk needs repair to eliminate a hazard to passersby. The
hazard may be because the sidewalk slab is an inch or so higher
than an adjacent sidewalk slab and /or because it is badly
cracked.
The sidewalk should be repaired to eliminate the hazard and to
keep the neighborhood attractive. This may mean patching,
replacing or raising the sidewalk slab(s). Please make the
repair within sixty days of receiving this letter.
If your sidewalk is on Folwell Avenue (west of Coffman), Burton,
Northrup, Vincent or Fulham Streets, you may wish to repair the
hazard with a patch because the city's plans for a street
reconstruction project in this neigbhorhood in 1993 may affect
the condition of the sidewalks.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping the community a safe
and attractive place to live.
Sincerely,
5-1,140 d t t g

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM: Resolution approving a lotsplit on 1739 Fairview for a lot on Lindig
SUBMITTED BY: Marilyn E. and Raymond A. Sandford, property owners
REVIEWED BY: Bill Westerberg, Assistant City Engineer
EXPLANATION /DESCRIPTION:
The property owners of 1739 Fairview Avenue wish to divide their lot (a through
lot to Lindig Street) into a second lot for the construction of a single family
home. This is the eighth lot to be subdivided off of Fairview on Lindig for
this purpose.
The assistant city engineer reviewed the plans for the proposed lotsplit a 1739
Fairview to determine if it is in conformance to the city code. He finds that
it is, but is recommending that the planning commission approve the lotsplit
with the condition that the city engineer work with the property owner and
surveyor to:
1) determine the drainage pattern using a topographic survey off of the
property to avoid any problems with neighboring properties;
2) determine the appropriate easements along Lindig Street to match the
adjacent easements along Lindig;
3) dedicate the required easements along the front and sidelot lines.
The plat will not be approved for recording until the city engineer determines
that these conditions are met. This should be a straight forward process.
The planning commission held a public hearing on the lotsplit on May 24, 1993.

To: Falcon Heights
Planning Commission
The intent to split the lot at 1739 Fairview Ave N. is to be able to
build a single family dwelling on the newly created lot. This request is
similar to what has been already done on Lindig St. a number of times.
As relates to the drainage of the lot it is almost a flat lot with a
slight slope to the east. This lot has been this way for many years
without any problems and we do not anticipate significantly changing the
slope from what it currently is.
The utilities to service the lot are already in place. The water,
sewer and natural gas are already in the street. The electricity is
available from a pole on the north east corner of the newly created lot.
If there are any questions please call us and we will do our best to answer
them. Our home number is 646 -4186.
Thank You

RE: SANDFORD PROPERTY LOT SPLIT
Dear Ms. Hoyt:
As requested, we have reviewed the lot split for the Donald Sandford property located between
Fairview Avenue and Lindig Street, and offer the following comments:
1. The Certificate of Survey we reviewed was dated May 7, 1993, and was prepared by
Robert B. Sikich, a Registered Land Surveyor with Pioneer Engineering.
2. The area is zoned R-1 which is a one -family residential district requiring a minimum lot
size of 10,000 square feet, 75 feet of frontage, 30 -foot front yard setback, and a 5-foot
side yard setback. Both lots will have the minimum Iot size and front footage. The
existing lot meets the setback requirements.
3. The City should require a topographic survey of the existing conditions on the property
being split and overlapping into the adjacent properties. The new lot being created should
have a proposed grading plan with the house pad elevation shown, drainage arrows, and
spot elevations showing how the new lot will handle the surface drainage. All drainage
should be directed down lot lines.
4. Additional street easement will be required along Lindig Street. Easement has been given
from the lots to die north and south of this property. The survey should indicate these
easements and show how they will match the adjacent properties. The surveyor should
determine if the easements on either side of this property were deeded to the City or
given as easements, which will affect the proposed setback of the house.
The survey must show the adjacent houses and their setback from the property line.
5. Planning and Development Ordinance 9 -17.04 Subdivision 4 requires drainage and utility
easements along lot lines. We recommend a 10 -foot easement from the proposed front
property line on each lot, a 10 -foot easement centered on the property line dividing the
two lots, and a 5 -foot easement along the side lot lines.

6. From as -built information dated January 20, 1958, sanitary sewer is provided on Lindig
Street. The drawings indicate service locations but no indication is given if the service
was extended to the property line. The owner shuuld verify the depth of the =wet phut
to construction to determine the lowest floor elevation of the house to be served by
sanitary sewer.
The watermain within the City of Falcon Heights is maintained by St. Paul Water Utility.
SL Paul Water Utility must do all watermain and water service construction within the
right -of -way.
We understand that a number of lots in the area have been split previously. The information
requested is needed for our review to determine the buildability of the newly formed lot and how
it fits with the surrounding lots. We therefore recommend approval of the lot split contingent
upon the owner providing Maier Stewart Associates, Inc., with the requested information.
If you have any questions or require further information, please call.
Sincerely,

CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM: Review and consider adopting the official school plan
for Falcon Heights Elementary School on Garden Avenue
SUBMITTED BY: Mr. John Thein, Roseville Area School District 623
REVIEWED BY: Planning Commission
Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
Bill Westerberg, Assistant City Engineer
EXPLANATION /DESCRIPTION:
The Falcon Heights Elementary School is being remodeled this
summer. The plans for the remodeling are submitted to the city
for its review and comment as part of the process for adopting
the official school plan (Chapter 9 §12.01(d)). Once the
official school plan is on file with the city (none currently
exists), any changes in the plan will be reviewed and adopted by
the city.
The plan identifies the additions made to the structure as well
as the removal of an existing playground on the eastside of the
building and the addition of 35 new parking stalls on the
eastside of the property within 20 feet of the adjacent
residential property.
The school district held a community /schoolwide information
meeting on the proposed plans in April.
Property owners within 350 feet of the property were notified of
this meeting. The planning commission held a public hearing on
this item on May 24, 1993.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The staff has three comments on this plan:
1. The addition of 35 parking spaces on the property 20 feet
from the homes should be adequately screened and the parking
lot lighting should not reflect into the adjoining property.
At an earlier meeting with city staff, school district
officials and the architect said that the neighboring
property owners were consulted about the planned changes.
2. The removal of the old playground equipment on the southeast
side of the site is not the playground equipment purchased,
in part, by the City of Falcon Heights.
3. The city is requiring that the site be connected to the
city's storm sewer on Garden Avenue; and that any future
rebuilding in the existing parking lot on the westside of
the property should include connecting it to storm sewer.

Falcon Heights Elementary School. It is my understanding the meeting is scheduled
for 7:00 p.m. at the City Hall.
Also, Roseville Area Schools is pleased to accept your invitation to attend the May
26, 1993 Falcon Heights City Council meeting. Roseville Area Schools is excited
about the opportunity to present the proposed architectural plans and renovations for
Falcon Heights Elementary School to the City Council for their review and comment.

Dear Susan:
201 Main St. .E.
We are herewith submitting a set of drawings for the Official School Plan" Suite 325
submittal for Falcon Heights Elementary School for review and action by the Minneapolis, MN
Falcon heights Planning Commission and City Council. Included are the
55414
following drawings: Telephone
612- 379 -3400
1. A site survey showing the existing building and site conditions. Facsimile
F acsacs 379 4400
2. An architectural site plan showing the existing building footprint and the
extent of new additions, with appropriate dimensions, and with area and.
parking tabulations.
3. A landscaping and exterior lighting plan.
4. A drawing of new architectural building elevations.
5. A grading, drainage and utility proposal plan for the site.
6. A floor plan of the school (new and existing).
We are providing you with three, full size sets and 15 reduced sets (11 x 17)
Circulation of vehicles in the existing paved areas of the site will remain more or
less the same. The west parking lot is a one -way counterclockwise loop with
angled parking, which will remain unchanged. The bus parking in the front of the
building will remain the same, but visitor parking will be curtailed in this area and,
eliminated entirely with signage when the school buses are loading and unloading.
The reason for this is to prevent children from rushing between the buses and
across a moving lane of traffic to get to a parent's car parked in the visitor
parking area. The remaining car parking in this area will be changed from angled
to parallel parking. The new east parking lot is intended to introduce new
parking to the site to meet the parking count requirement, provide visitor and
staff parking lost in front of the building, and provide parking and a drop off
curbside for the new east entry to the building which, in a sense, is a community
wing and will be open in the evenings.
P: \92 \65 \C\RL0517
w.
The construction schedule which we would like to achieve assumes that
construction of the east addition will commence in the late summer or early fall of
this year and that all construction will be completed in the fall of 1994 in time for
the beginning of the 1994 school year. We expect a period of inactivity between
the completion of the east addition and the start of work on classroom expansion
in order to minimize disruption of the lifeof the school.

RE: ADDITION TO FALCON HEIGHTS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Dear Ms. Hoyt:
As requested, we have reviewed the drainage for the addition to the Falcon Heights Elementary
School. The proposed plan was dated April 26, 1993, and prepared by Cunningham Hamilton
Quiter, P.A.
A parking lot is proposed east of the school with access onto Garden Avenue. The site plan
shows that the parking lot will be sloped from the north to the south toward Garden Avenue.
Storm sewer inlets are proposed to collect the runoff in the parking lot before it drains onto
Garden Avenue. The proposed storm sewer system will be extended from the existing 48 -inch
storm sewer on Garden Avenue to the catchbasins in the parking lot, and to the east and north
side of the building to collect runoff from the roof drains of the school.
Mr. Dan Johnson of Anderson Johnson and Associates, Inc., asked if the storm sewer could be
deleted and the runoff drained overland to Garden Avenue. We denied this request because
draining additional runoff overland onto Garden Avenue is not acceptable. The overland runoff
if not picked up by the catchbasin on Garden Avenue will drain onto Hamline Avenue, which
is unacceptable to Ramsey County.
A second storm sewer extension is proposed from the existing manhole on Garden Avenue to the
south side of the building to collect runoff from roof drains and runoff in the driveway along the
south side of the building.
The existing parking lot on the west side of the school drains onto Garden Avenue. No storm
sewer is proposed to collect this runoff before it reaches Garden Avenue. In the future, if this
parking lot is reconstructed,' storm sewer should be added to collect the runoff in the parking lot.

Dear Ms. Hoyt:
On Wednesday, November 18, 1992, Mr. Roger Mohror, Water Utility,
Division Manager, met with yourself, Mr. Peter Brochman and Mr. Terry
Maurer.
Discussed at that meeting was the topic of lead service connection
replacement and the Utility's letter of October 16, 1992 pertaining to
water mains.
1
Service Connections
Mr. Mohror stated at this meeting, that the Utility was beginning
a program of lead service connection replacement. In particular,
replacement should take place where opportunities for economical
installation in conjunction with a street paving program are available.
Mr. Mohror indicated that the Utility would reimburse the City of
Falcon Heights for the service replacement trenching costs. The
Utility would replace the street portion of lead services with new
copper piping at no cost to the City or homeowner. The Water Utility
has a lifetime guarantee policy for all residential service
connections, which is the basis for replacing these services at no
cost.
It is my understanding that six (6) lead services were involved in
I C-
the project and that trenching bids were received. Please furnish the
Utility with the trenching bid item cost. In addition, we would need
adequate advance notification to schedule the pipe work.

Water Mains
Reference is made to the Utility's letter of October 16, 1992,
where it was recommended that water mains on Folwell (Fulham to
Northrup), Northrup (Hoyt to Folwell) and Burton (Hoyt to Folwell) be
eplaced because of excessive main breaks. The Utility has adopted a
policy where water mains are replaced when the ratio of breaks for a
en (10) year period on a 600 foot length of pipe exceeds 1:2. This
ratio applies to streets where the paving, curb, and gutter, etc. is
being replaced.
This policy is reasonable and practical in that excessive water
main maintenance costs are eliminated, disturbances to customer water
service are reduced, water supplies are preserved through eliminating
leaks on water mains, newly paved streets are not dug up and potential
health concerns are reduced by eliminating leaks on mains. This policy
is presently being applied within the City of Saint Paul by the Water
Utility and in our suburban retail water accounts.
The March 1979 contract between the City of Falcon Heights and the
Board has a provision where rules, regulations and conditions which the
Board has adopted in the City of Saint Paul will be adopted by the
City. The Utility would expect that the referenced sections of water
main on Folwell, Northrup and Burton be replaced during the 1993 Falcon
Heights Street Improvement Project. Citizens expect wise management of
the infrastructure in their city, and the replacement of these mains
eets that criteria.
If the Water Utility can offer any further information in this
matter, please call me at 298 -4100 or Mr. Mohror at 298 -4166.
Very truly yours,

RE: CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS
Dear Mr. Bullert:
This letter is in response to your correspondence to Ms. Susan Hoyt, Falcon Heights City
Administrator, dated April 19, 1993. Your letter raised two issues relative to the City's proposed
1993 Street Improvement project. These two issues dealt with lead service connections and the
replacement of watermain. We will respond to these individually.
A. Service Connections
The low bidder for this particular project was F. M. Frattalone Excavating. Low bid
prices for the excavation associated with the six lead services on Fulham Street were $200
for the excavation of each service connection and $10 per linear foot for the service pipe.
We anticipate that the City Council will award this contract on May 26 and the contractor
is expected to begin work sometime around the middle of June. At this point, we have
no more definite schedule than that. Once the bid is awarded, we will invite your
representative to the preconstruction meeting, at which time we can talk more specifically
about the scheduling of the replacement of the lead services.
B. Watermains
As you are aware, we have spent quite a bit of time researching St. Paul Water Utility's
recommendations relative to watermain replacements. This research included reviewing
how other suburban communities dealwith this issue. In fact, we bid this work as part
of the 1993 Street Improvement project in order to determine what the cost would be.
The low bid from F. M. Frattalone Excavating was in excess of $100,000 for
replacement of three blocks of watermain. It is our opinion that the cost benefits of
spending this amount of money to replace watermain which, according to the information
provided to us, has had two breaks over the last ten years on each segment, is not
reasonable. Therefore, we have recommended to the City of Falcon Heights that the
watermain in question not be replaced as part of this improvement project.

Ms. Kathleen Miller
City Administrator
City of Lauderdale
1891 Walnut St.
Lauderdale, Minnesota 55113
Dear Kathleen:
I want to thank you and Mayor Dain for taking the time to meet
with Mayor Baldwin and me about the proposed street improvements
along Fulham Street.
As you know from our conversation, it is very important for
Falcon Heights to proceed with this project since it is cost
effective to include it in the city's 1993 street project, which
is an $850,000 construction project.
As I recall, you, our city engineer, Terry Maurer, and I
discussed this street project during its planning stages in
October, 1992. However, I apologize for not checking back with
you before February, 1993 to determine how the Lauderdale council
was proceeding. Therefore, I'm especially appreciative that your
council is moving ahead with plans after meeting with the Fulham
Street property owners on April 28, 1993.
The City of Falcon Heights scheduled its assessment hearing for
May 12, 1993 and plans to award the contract on May 26, 1993.
I'd like to have an agreement between Falcon Heights and
Lauderdale for the May 26th meeting in order to assure
Lauderdale's financial cooperation when the contract is awarded.
You and I have discussed some cost and payment options.
Here is what I'm thinking about:
1. The cost to the City of Lauderdale is $26,050.
This will cover all construction costs for street
replacement, curb, gutter, driveway repair (where
necessary), boulevard replacement, an on -site inspector,
forester when needed and some survey work.
Although excavating for the water utility work is part of
the contract, the St. Paul Water Utility covers the costs of
labor and materials for the six lead hook -ups.

2. The City of Lauderdale may make its payment toward the end
of the contractor's project billing, probably late November
or early December of 1993.
This is to assist you with budgeting for the project, which
is not included in Lauderdale's 1993 budget.
The City of Falcon Heights will withhold a portion of the
final payment until summer, 1994. However, this will not be
the Lauderdale portion of the payment.
3. The City of Falcon Heights is prepared to make this a three
to five year loan for the City of Lauderdale at 8%
compounded interest, if this is considered desirable by
Lauderdale.
The 8% interest reflects the interest market. It is higher
than the 6 1/2% that the City of Falcon Heights is charging
its property owners for their share of the cost because
these costs are assessed to the property and don't rely on a
contract as a guarantee.
4. The work done in the City of Lauderdale will be covered in
the contract between the contractor and the City of Falcon
Heights. All guarantees and warranties will apply to the
work in both cities. And, Lauderdale may contact the City
of Falcon Heights engineer regarding questions about the
project and the quality of workmanship.
Please let me know what you and your council think about how to
handle this. (I'll also have our attorney review it.)
In the interest of moving things along, I've told our city
engineer that he should be available to respond to your questions
about the project.
Again, I thank you and your council for your willingness to work
with the City of Falcon Heights on this project. Both the city
council and staff have enjoyed the small, but fruitful
opportunities that the two cities have initiated. The Falcon
Heights council looks forward to working on more activities with
Lauderdale. And, if in the future, these projects include
coordinating street projects, we'll begin the process at an
earlier time in the project planning.
V y truly yours,
Susan Hoyt
City Administrator

CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM: Recommended ordinance revision 9- 13.03 {11} "Rooftop
displays and aerial searchlights
SUBMITTED BY: Planning Commission
Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
REVIEWED BY: Peter Bachman, City Attorney
EXPLANATION /DESCRIPTION:
At the last planning commission meeting, the commission
recommended revising the city's sign code, Chapter 9 §13 that
addresses "displays not constituting signs" to restrict balloons
and certain other displays to five days for grand openings or
other civic events.
The city attorney reviewed the proposed revisions as part of the
city council agenda packet for April 28, 1993. He recommended
that rather than revise this section of the ordinance to be all
encompassing that the staff and commission revise the ordinance
to address the specific problem the city is experiencing
rooftop balloons. This will avoid trying to define everything
that is or is not covered in the code.
Upon this advice, and based upon the conversation at the April 28
planning commission meeting, staff recommends the following:
9- 13.03(11) Rooftop Displays and Aerial Searchlights
Rooftop balloons and rooftop displays are not permitted
except in a commercial zone for a maximum of five days for a
business grand opening or a special civic event. A
temporary sign permit is required for the balloon. Aerial
search lights are not permitted.
This section presently reads:
9-- 13.03 {11} Displays not constituting signs. Animal
displays, pieces of sculpture, fountains, aerial
searchlights or other displays or feature 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 requirement of §9- 13.03.

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
7 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
Page 2

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'.

A. GENERAL INFORMATION
This document was developed to provide a uniform format for handling contract changes
that affect Contract Price or Contract Tune. Changes that have been initiated by a Work
Directive Change must be incorporated into a subsequent Change Order if they affect
Price or Tithe.
Changes that affect Contract Price or Contract Time should be promptly covered by a
Change Order. The practice of accumulating change order items to reduce the adminis-
trative burden may lead to unnecessary disputes.
For supplemental instructions and minor changes not involving a change in the Contract
Price or Contract Time. a Field Order may be used.
B. COMPLETING THE CHANGE ORDER FORM
Engineer initiates the form, including a description of the changes involved and attach
ments based upon documents and proposals submitted by Contractor, or requests from
Owner, or both.
Once Engineer has completed and signed the form. all copies should be sent to Contractor
for approval_ After approval by Contractor, aII copies should be sent to Owner for
approval. Engineer should make distribution of executed copies after approval by Owner.

APPLICATION FOR A BUSINESS LICENSE FOR FALCON HEIGHTS GENERAL
STORE AT 1537 W. LARPENTEUR
Baldwin explained that due to the moratorium on issuance of new
business licenses not listed as permitted uses in the zoning
code, staff has recommended denial of the license.
Attorney Stanley Efron representing the license applicant,
expressed concern regarding the staff recommendation based
partially on the majority of the goods for sale being used. He
stated that there will be new and used items and the applicant
had never indicated the majority of the items would be used. He
also commented on other businesses which deal in previously owned
property, ie. antiques, cameras, and jewelry.

Baldwin again stressed that the moratorium was adopted to allow
time for completion of the study of uses in the business
district.
John Mutschler explained that he was a small part owner of the
proposed business and that David Johnson, Fargo North Dakota, was
the principal owner. He stated that the concept of the business
is to have quality, low priced merchandise obtained from trade
shows, close outs, etc. Ciernia questioned walk -in sales and
asked Mr. Mutschler if he would purchase a person's used VCR if
that person walked into the store with it, and if the person
could buy it back. Mr. Mutschler replied in the positive, but
that he did not expect this to be a large portion of the
business.
James Ladner, owner of Northome Center, where the proposed
business would be located spoke in favor of granting the license
as he sees the business as a permitted use under the zoning code.
He commented that he believed there are presently many other
businesses which take trade -ins such as golf clubs. He stressed
that he wants to keep the mall occupied with good tenants who are
good citizens and they would be monitored as he did not want
anything illegal.
Baldwin again commented on the fact that the zoning administrator
determined that this use falls into the second hand store
category which is not presently a permitted use and, therefore,
this proposed use would fall within the intent of the moratorium.
He felt there were two options, either to reconsider the
moratorium or hear from the administrator and attorney that they
have changed their minds regarding the use.
Bachman explained that the zoning code provides that the city
administrator administers the zoning code and the city council
adopted the code and, therefore, may intrepret the code as they
deem appropriate. He stressed that the issues council must
address are whether or not this type of store is specifically
listed as a permitted use and if permitting a business to sell,
buy and trade is to be interpreted as a permitted use. He also
commented on the fact that the planning study now in progress
will be addressing second hand stores, pawn stores, etc.
Hoyt indicated the staff recommendation to deny the license was
based on the definition of "secondhand store" in State Statutes
and read the following from Statute 471.925: "secondhand goods
or junk dealer means a person engaged in the business of buying
second goods of any kind, including but not limited to coins,
gold, silver, jewelry, metals, guns and wrecked or dismantled
motor vehicles or motor vehicles intended to be wrecked or
dismantled, but not including goods and merchandise taken as part

or full payment for new goods and merchandise She noted that
in a telephone conversation with Mr. Mutschler he had informed
her that they anticipate that initially 5% to 10% of the business
would be from walk -in sales with the amount possibly increasing
to 50 A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the definition of
secondhand store /secondhand goods, and the intended use of the
premises by the proposed business owner.
Bachman again stressed that the central issue is uis the use
proposed a specifically listed use in the zoning code If
council is of the opinion that it is not a specifically
permitted use, the findings should indicate that, and state that
it falls within the moratorium.
He indicated another option would be to refer the matter back to
staff to obtain further information or perhaps set conditions on
the business defining what can or can not be done during the
period of the moratorium. Bachman commented that the statute is
not binding on council, city regulations may also be adopted, and
that this is the purpose of the moratorium.
Baldwin stated it is the sense of the council to agree with the
zoning admininstrator's finding that this proposed use definitely
is not a permitted use under the zoning code and, therefore,
falls within the moratorium. Mr. Efron inquired about the
findings to which Baldwin replied "these are our findings Hoyt
indicated that the findings will be formalized and presented at
the next council meeting for council review and adoption.
ASSESSMENT INTEREST RATE FOR 1993 STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT SET
AT 6.5%
Baldwin explained that at the April 14, 1993 council meeting
council proposed adopting a 6.5% interest rate for assessment of
the 1993 street improvement project. Ciernia moved that the
interest rate be established at 6.5% over the ten year assessment
period. Upon a vote being taken the following voted in favor
thereof: Baldwin, Ciernia and Gibson Talbot, and the following
voted against the same: Jacobs. Gehrz abstained. Motion

presently described in the zoning code addresess a system no

MEMO
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Susan Hoyt, City Administrak.
RE: Staff recommendation that the p a ping commission review the
city's commercial development moratorium for additional uses
specified for study (See addendum P 5)
At the city council meeting on May 12, 1993 the council will be
considering a request from the administrator to spend additional
legal and planning fees for the commercial zoning study.
After reviewing the development moratorium, staff is confident
that most uses that require further study are covered within the
moratorium. However, to guarantee that all these uses are
included during the commercial zoning study, staff recommends
that the council refer the development moratorium to the planning
commission to review like any revision in the zoning code. This
will provide an opportunity to determine what, if any uses,
require further specification in the moratorium to guarantee its
intent.
Possible amendments to the moratorium might include
language that identifies "adult uses "stores selling guns
"pawn shops" and "used goods sellers" as uses that require study
so the city can adopt the appropriate ordinances (licensing,
conditions, and /or zoning regulations) to govern these uses.
Currently, the city's ordinances do not provide any licensing or
conditions on adult uses or stores with gun sales. If one of
these establishments opened by qualifying as a "specifically
permitted use the city would lose the opportunity to regulate
its location, and would scramble to enact licensing requirements.
Other cities, like Ramsey put a moratorium on adult uses, and
Richfield adopted an ordinance specifically halting the sale of
"used goods" until the cities could determine under what
conditions these uses should be permitted and /or regulated.
Any amendment to the moratorium is procedural to clarify and
guarantee the intent of the study. It will not delay the
commercial zoning study or require additional research.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Referral of the development moratorium
(Chapter 5 Section 5) to the planning
commission for review and possible amendments
SUBMITTED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
REVIEWED BY: Peter Bachman, City Attorney (discussed)
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
Most uses that may have secondary impacts that the city is
studying for inclusion and /or regulations through its ordinances
fall within the current development moratorium on the commercial
district. However, it would be useful to have the planning
commission review the city's development moratorium to guarantee
that any uses that the city may wish to study for secondary
impacts and /or further regulation through local ordinances are
included in the development moratorium. (For example the City of
Ramsey put a moratorium on "adult uses" until the location and
licensing requirements were determined. There may be some
licensing requirements conditions that the city may legally
attach to a store selling guns.)
This planning commission review will include any uses identified
by the consultant and staff for secondary impacts and further
regulations. It will not delay either aspect of the commercial
zoning study. The review will be handled like an amendment to
the zoning code that requires a notice in the legal paper. This
could be combined with the next planning commission meeting that
addresses the revised commercial zoning codes currently being
done by Fred Hoisington (special early June meeting
Planning commission members endorsed the idea of the additional
legal and planning fees for the commercial study as well as the
two -tier approach to the study.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Refer the commercial development moratorium (Chapter 5 Section 5)
to the planning commission for review and for its recommendation
on any amendments to further clarify what uses it covers.

Dear Ms. e447.rec
The City of Falcon Heights is submitting an application for a
Peacemaker's Award from the Association of Metropolitan
Municipalities. The application describes how the city resolved
a dispute with property owners over the acquisition of an
easement for a sidewalk. Although the nature of the project is
modest, the process of dispute resolution provided insights into
how to improve communication with residents on street projects.
These changes are now part of the way Falcon Heights plans for
street improvements.
Please call me if you have questions or require more information.
I thank the committee and AMM for their consideration of our
application.

ACQUISITION OF AN EASEMENT
PROJECT DATE: MARCH, 1991
CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS
APPLICATION FOR THE PEACEMAKER AWARD
21 APRIL 1993
Introduction
In March of 1991 the city of Falcon Heights successfully worked
with the Dispute Resolution Center to resolve a disagreement
between the city and the owners of three properties over an
easement acquisition for a proposed sidewalk that was part of a
major county street improvement project.
This success not only resolved the dispute over the easement
acquisition, it also improved the communication between the city
and these property owners, and influenced how the city currently
works with property owners to plan street projects.
Background
Dispute resolution was selected to settle this disagreement
rather than formal legal channels for three reasons:
1) A councilmember familiar with dispute resolution
promoted its use for city issues.
2) The city wanted a forum to sit and talk with property
owners to build a better rapport rather than possibly
alienating them further with formal legal proceedings
(This street project had been an alienating process
already.)
3) The city wanted to save the legal expenses from formal
court proceedings, an estimated $8,000 to $10,000.
Situation
Over a three year period, the county worked with the city to
approve a county road project that included a major street
widening and a new sidewalk. The sidewalk was initiated and
being paid for by the city. During this process property owners
expressed concerns about the street width, the proposed property
assessment and the new sidewalk where one currently did not
exist.
Due to the extra street width, the public right -of -way did not
provide enough space for the public sidewalk and required the
acquisition of an easement along seven properties. Owners of
four properties accepted the city's initial purchase offer for
the easement. However, owners of three properties refused the
offer even after several discussions.
Falcon Heights
Page 2
Because the sidewalk was important to the city, the city reviewed
its options for acquiring the easement.
Alternatives for action
Two alternatives were available to the city:
1) Pursue the matter in court
a) Advantage eventually would get the easement
acquired
b) Disadvantages more time, more money and further
damage the relationship between the city and
residents along this street
2) Arrange for dispute resolution
a) Advantage less time, less money and a better
relationship with the residents, if it worked, and
court remained an option
b) Disadvantage it might not work
The process
Getting the okay. The administrator contacted all the parties to
see if they were willing to discuss the matter with a
representative from the Dispute Resolution Center at city hall.
All six people who owned the three properties agreed to
participate.
Arranging the meeting. The Dispute Resolution Center staff
arranged for the meeting time, place and mediators to be at city
hall and contacted all participants about these details.
The meeting. Five of the six owners of the three properties
attended the meeting along with the city administrator, the city
engineer and two mediators. Introductions were made. Initially
there was some tension among the group knowing that there was a
disagreement over the easement acquisition price. The property
owners were also frustrated over the pending street project, the
impact of the sidewalk on their property and the proposed
assessment. To ease these concerns, the city engineer rolled out
the plans for the project and described exactly what would happen
to each property. This created a common interest for this small
group to discuss. Eventually the cost of the easement acquisition
came up at the property owners' initiation. Within forty -five
Falcon Heights
Page 3
minutes the parties came to a resolution on what the city should
pay. It was more than the original purchase offer, but less than
the first proposal from a property owner. Neither party
exchanged harsh words during the process.
Results
Four things resulted from this meeting:
1) The city accomplished its objective of acquiring the
easements to construct an important sidewalk along a
busy street without going to court.
2) The city spent $2,170 more than originally offered for
this acquisition, but substantially less than the
estimated $8,000 to $10,000 that it would have cost to
go to court and possibly get the same resolution.
(Part of the additional cost was that owners of the
four properties who accepted the original price were
also paid the higher rate.)
The dispute resolution process cost the city $10.
3) The residents left with a better understanding of the
project from this small group meeting and knowing that
the city is willing to talk and consider their point of
view. And, rather than building upon the tensions that
arose between the city and property owners over this
street project, it substantially reduced them.
4) The city's success from meeting with a very small group
of residents to discuss the street project, lead the
city to change how it plans for street projects. As
part of the process, the city administrator and
engineer now, not only meet with residents from the
individual neighborhoods about the project, they also
meet with a few representatives of each neighborhood.
In these meetings they pull out the plans and talk
about the project's impact before being presented to
the council for its consideration.
This small group approach continues to be successful in
preparing better plans and substantially reducing
confrontations at the public hearings on street
projects (see attached article).

CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Referral of the development moratorium
(Chapter 5, Section 5) to the planning
commission for review and possible amendments
SUBMITTED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
REVIEWED BY: Peter Bachman, City Attorney (discussed)
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
Most uses that may have secondary impacts that the city is
studying for inclusion and /or regulations through its ordinances
fall within the current development moratorium on the commercial
district. However, it would be useful to have the planning
commission review the city's development moratorium to guarantee
that any uses that the city may wish to study for secondary
impacts and /or further regulation through local ordinances are
included in the development moratorium. (For example the City of
Ramsey put a moratorium on "adult uses" until the location and
licensing requirements were determined. There may be some
licensing requirements conditions that the city may legally
attach to a store selling guns.)
This planning commission review will include any uses identified
by the consultant and staff for secondary impacts and further
regulations. It will not delay either aspect of the commercial
zoning study. The review will be handled like an amendment to
the zoning code that requires a notice in the legal paper. This
could be combined with the next planning commission meeting that
addresses the revised commercial zoning codes currently being
done by Fred Hoisington (special early June meeting
Planning commission members endorsed the idea of the additional
legal and planning fees for the commercial study as well as the
two -tier approach to the study.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Refer the commercial development moratorium (Chapter 5 Section 5)
to the planning commission for review and for its recommendation
on any amendments to further clarify what uses it covers.

CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Request to accept possible donation for
National Night Out from Rosetown American
Legion
SUBMITTED BY: Judy Sabean, organizer of. Neighborhood Night Out
REVIEWED BY:
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
Judy Sabean is well underway organizing a citywide national night
out celebration for August 3, 1993. She has arranged for donations
from several businesses but also asked for money to cover small
costs from Rosetown American Legion.
Rosetown American Legion donates money to cities and tax exempt
organizations, not individuals so Judy asked if the city could
accept the donation of $500 to a National Night Out.
The city finance director will work out a reimbursement method for
the National Night Out costs incurred by Judy.

ACTION REQUESTED: Decide on accepting National Night Out
donation from Rosetown American Legion
for $500.00.
