Hoyt explained that the Planning Commission did not have a quorum at the October 25th meeting and therefore could not officially make a recommendation on the variance request from Curt and Merideth Stockford, 1804 Tatum Street. The commissioners in attendance discussed the request and felt council approval would be appropriate as the request would meet the guidelines for granting of a variance. Hoyt presented the request from the Stockfords for a two foot eight inch variance to the five foot sideyard setback requirement and indicated that staff recommends approval. Gehrz then moved adoption of Resolution R -93 -36 which carried unanimously. RESOLUTION R -93 -36 A RESOLUTION GRANTING A VARIANCE FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A GARAGE AT 1804 TATUM'ST.

This change would require a change MINUTES "t t, OCTOBER 27, 1993 E Lj PAGE 3 order. Gibson Talbot moved that the change order be approved which carried unanimously. CITY TO OFFER $114,000 FOR ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY AT 2061 W. LARPENTEUR IN CONJUNCTION WITH LOCAL AND CDBG GRANT REQUIREMENTS Hoyt explained that in order to proceed with the acquisition of the property at 2061 W. Larpenteur it is necessary to offer just compensation to the property owner. Based on the value of $114,000 established by two appraisal firms hired by the city, Hoyt requested that council authorize offering the property owner Dr. David Olson, $114,000 for the building and site. She added that the relocation of the tenants of the building will be the next step. Following a brief discussion Gehrz moved that the administrator be authorized to offer Dr. David Olson $114,000 for the acquisition of the property in accordance with local and CDBG requirements. Motion carried unanimously. Funding will come from the 1993 CBDG grant to the city and TIF construction funds. GEHRZ AND JACOBS TO WORK WITH ADMINISTRATOR TO PLAN COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN RFP FOR POLICE SERVICE Baldwin explained that when the city last changed police service the council had only a minimum amount of time to make a decision and there was no time for citizen participation. The plan to immediately begin the process for requesting proposals for police services for January, 1995 will provide ample time for residents and business people to provide input. He stated that the administrator has requested two councilmembers to work with her to plan community participation. Baldwin asked that Gehrz and Jacobs serve in that capacity and both agreed to do so.

However, staff did not forward the request to the council until they met with the county to determine who is responsible for covering the cracks that appeared this past spring on the sidewalk adjacent to Hamline Avenue. The county said that the contractor is not responsible for the cracking because the project is over a year old. After discussing this with county staff, it appears that the cracks, which are not currently hazardous to pedestrians, should be repaired as part of the city's sidewalk maintenance program. Given this, staff recommends making the final payment on Hamline Avenue. ACTION REQUESTED: Approve final payment of $10,529 for Hamline Avenue to Ramsey County out of the Hamline Avenue construction fund.

Some additional carpentry work is necessary to smooth the transition from the raised area to the floor level and the sound equipment needs to be installed. Since the final carpentry work requires carpeting the area that has been remodeled during construction, it is timely to consider requesting proposals for re- carpeting the entire area. The carpeting in city hall is almost twelve years old. Besides being used for several city events, it is used by a number of community and private groups for activities ranging from a mineral club to wedding receptions to a neighborhood holiday party for Maple Knoll Court residents. The area is used on an average of three to four nights a week and one day per weekend throughout the year. For those groups that pay for its use, the city charges $30 for the first two hours of use and $20 for every hour after that use. The estimated cost for carpeting including the installation of the 260 square yard area is $3,900 to $10,800. $15 per yard 3,900 $20 per yard 7,200 $30 per yard $10,800 The 1993 budget and the proposed 1994 budget include $10,000 for carpeting this area. ACTION REQUESTED: Authorize the staff to request proposals for carpeting the council chambers /meeting area and conference room. y :::::::::::::i;:;;:;i t2:S ::;;2:::i::;;;;;;:: "t:FFF: i' ii' ii ?ii£:i::iiiiiii >:::':C Y)' r' r' r 'r'r'r iiiri::i:;;:::::: }i ?Y }Yi i ":�i::i't'tYY:iiii: ''iii:Y: ;..iii:::::::: Meeting Date: 11/10/93 Agenda Item: P 2 CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Staff update on commercial development moratorium SUBMITTED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator EXPLANATION /SUMMARY: The planning commission is discussing the best way to deal with the eight uses under the city's commercial development moratorium. The eight uses are: therapeutic massage adult uses stores selling firearms pawn shops precious metal dealers secondhand stores pool halls and game arcades check cashing establishments Under its statuatory authority to protect the public health and welfare, the city has the right to control business uses through licensing, placing conditions on the uses through zoning or excluding business uses that don't meet the purpose of the city's commercial business district. The commission is studying the three ways to deal with these uses other than simply listing them as permitted uses. Although at this time, the commission is only discussing these uses and has no action or recommendations, it is appropriate to bring the council up to date on the moratorium's status. ACTION REQUESTED: Staff update on the status of the commercial development moratorium. Meeting Date: 11/10/93 Agenda Item: P 3 CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Discussion on council work priorities SUBMITTED BY: Mayor Baldwin EXPLANATION /SUMMARY: The mayor will present the results of the council's workshop on October 16 that addressed the city's goals and work priorities over the coming year for further discussion.
