CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Outline for the community meetings on the
future needs of policing
SUBMITTED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
Next week the city begins holding a series of community meetings
on policing. The council suggested that these meetings follow a
format similar to that of the city's comprehensive planning
process. Here is a proposed format.
Purpose:
To solicit ideas from community members about what they desire in
their future police service.
Introduction:
A very brief description of how Falcon Heights's crime compares
with other suburban cities that have a residential character. And
what are typically reported incidents in Falcon Heights.
Brief review of what "basic police services" typically include
which are: response to calls and crimes, animal control, traffic
control and ticketing. There will be no effort to identify other
services because this is what community members should identify
on their own. (The focus will be on services not cost since cost
is unknown at this time.)
Ask everyone the following open -ended question:
What services, activities and characteristics would you like to
see in your community's police service? Provide examples of what
you mean, if you feel this is useful.
Small groups:
1. Answer questions individually. (turn into staff)
2. Compile and combine questions into a group report. (turn
into staff)
(Councilmembers and staff in attendance will be observers
and listeners.)
Report to large group:
1. Report back to large group with summary of small group.
2. These group reports will be taped for each of the five
meetings, then played on cable after all five meetings are
held.
ACTION REQUESTED: Discuss and revise as desired.

GIBSON TALBOT ARRIVES
Gibson Talbot arrived at 7:26 p.m.
CITY TO REQUEST PROPOSALS FOR NEW CARPETING FOR COUNCIL
CHAMBERS /MEETING AREA AND CONFERENCE ROOM
Hoyt explained that the remodeling of the council chambers is
nearly completed as is the installation of the audio /video
equipment. Since the final carpentry work will require carpeting
the area that has been remodeled it seemed timely to consider
requesting proposals for re- carpeting the entire area. The 1993
budget and proposed 1994 budget include $10,000 for carpeting
this area.
Following a brief discusstion it was the sense of the council
that staff should proceed with obtaining proposals for re-
carpeting the council chambers /meeting area and conference room.
PROGRESS UPDATE ON COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT MORATORIUM
Hoyt explained that the planning commission and staff have been
researching how other cities handle the types of businesses which
are presently under the moratorium. Due to the uniqueness of
Falcon Heights such as proximity of commercial zones to
residential zones, many regulations used by other communities
would not be possible in Falcon Heights. Hoyt indicated that
proposed regulations for some of the businesses under moratorium
may be ready to present to council by the end of January or early
February, 1994.
DISCUSSION OF COUNCIL'S GOALS AND WORK TASKS FOR THE COMING YEAR
Badwin presented the results of the council's October workshop
and reviewed the procedure leading to determining the city's
goals and work priorities for the coming year. He indicated a
council planning session will be held in the future to further
prioritize the original goals and determine possible methods of
implementation.

ITEM: Proposed amendments to the Home Occupation code Chapter
9 Part 14.01 Subdivision 24 of the city code.
SUBMITTED BY: Planning Commission
REVIEWED BY: Dahlgren, Shardlow, Uban, Planning Consultant
Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
Peter Bachman, City Attorney
EXPLANATION /DESCRIPTION:
At the August, 1993 Planning Commission meeting, the commission
discussed possible amendments to the home occupation code to
assure that home occupations are permitted in the city, but that
they do not detract from the residential character of the
neighborhood. At the November 22 Planning Commission meeting, the
planning commission reviewed the ordinance.
The planning consultant (DSU) recommended that the commission
consider three changes in its home occupation code, which is
otherwise consistent with other cities and appropriate to
accomplish its purpose.
1. Clarify the number of trips /day for business 1 This varies
considerably for cities within the metro area. The City of
New Brighton permits four (4) two way trips per day while the
City of Cottage Grove permits 20 two way trips per day.
Cottage Grove expressed no difficulties within residential areas
with the 20 permitted trips.
Staff is suggesting a maximum of eight (8) two way trips per day
for a particular business. The code specifies that home
occupations may conduct business between the hours of 9:00 a.m.
to 9:00 p.m. on weekdays, and 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekends
and holidays. Therefore, the total trips generated by a home
occupation would be one trip per hour and a half on weekdays, and
one trip per hour on weekends and holidays.
2. Determine a •ercenta•e of the dwellin• to devote to the home
occupation. This is typically 20% to 25% of a dwelling. The
staff is suggesting 20 which is 400 square feet (a room of 20 X
20) in a 2,000 square foot home.
3. Eliminate the conditional use permit for home occupations that
do not meet the home occupation requirements. This conditional
use permit places the city in a position of defining conditions
for a possible home occupation. If the conditions are met, the
home occupation must be approved. Staff recommends including the
line that disabled persons may apply for a waiver of condition
through a conditional use permit if the proposed use does not
meet the code.
Home care facilities like day care, eldercare and group homes are
not included as home occupations in the city code, but are
permitted in residential zones by state statute, if they meet
certain established size requirements.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 9 -14.01
OF THE CITY CODE
RELATING TO CHANGES IN THE HOME OCCUPATION CODE
The City Council of the City of Falcon Heights ordains as follows:
Section 1. Subdivision 24 c. is hereby amended to the Falcon Heights City Code, to
eliminate the provision for a conditional use permit for a home occupation. Subdivision
24 c shall now read:
Subdivision 24 c. No person shall conduct a home occupation without first
having obtained a license from the Zoning Administration and the approval of
the Council. Application for licenses, accompanied by the appropriate fee, shall
state facts that constitute the basis for compliance with the requirements set
forth in provision (d). Home occupations for disabled persons that do not meet
these conditions may apply for a conditional use permit.
Section 2. Subdivision 24 d.12, relating to traffic generated by a home occupation is
hereby amended to the Falcon Heights Code, to read:
Subdivision 24 d 12. No more than eight (8) additional vehicle trips per day shall
be generated by a home occupation. Any need for parking generated by the
conduct of such home occupation shall be met off of the street only on the
driveway of the dwelling or in the garage.
Section 3. A new section 9 -14.01 Subdivision 24 d 18, relating to permitted space
provided for a home occupation is hereby added to the Falcon Heights City Code, to
read:
Subdivision 24 d 18. Not more than twenty (20) percent of the gross area of
the dwelling unit shall be used to conduct a home occupation. The appearance
of a residential dwelling shall in no way be changed or altered in a manner
which would cause the premises to differ from its residential character.
Section 4. This ordinance, passed this day of shall become
effective upon publication.

City of Falcon Heights
2077 W. Larpenteur Avenue
Falcon Heights, MN 55113 -5594
We have reviewed the City's Home Occupation Ordinance and compared it to ordinances from other
communities including the ones you sent us. The attached summary lists the items you brought up,
together with items commonly found in home occupation ordinances. Overall, Falcon Heights
ordinance does not seem much worse or much better than most other ordinances addressing home
occupations. Some City ordinances are very specific while others are very general. If the City is
considering changes to the Home Occupation Ordinance, it is important to address any problems that
have occurred. For example, is there confusion about what uses can be considered home occupations?
Have there been complaints about permitted home occupations concerning traffic or noise? These
types of problems may help point to needed changes (if any). In addition to the attached spreadsheet.
you brought up six items in particular which I've addressed below.
1. Requirements that the business be clearly secondary to the residential nature of the home.
Falcon Heights is similar to most communities in stating that a home occupation is secondary or
incidental to the primary use of the dwelling. Your ordinance says this in the definition section, some
say it under purpose. In addition, the requirements section currently in you ordinance helps to clarify
this. If there have been problems with interpretation or enforcement of this, you may want to consider
modifying the requirements.
2. Requirements regarding trips and deliveries to home occupations.
There is a wide variation in how communities deal with this item. Your ordinance says that normal
residential traffic should be maintained, other communities set specific limits on the number and type
of trips that are allowed. New Brighton for example allows four additional vehicle trips per day while
Cottage Grove allows 20 Vehicle Trips per day. Specifying trips per day would help clarify your
ordinance.
3. Requirements regarding remodeling to accommodate a home occupation.
Falcon Height's Ordinance, like most other communities, states that the residential character of the
dwelling not be altered in any way. The most specific (St. Paul) states that "no structural alterations
or enlargements shall be made to the dwelling for the primary purpose of conducting the home
occupation Your ordinance seems adequate in this point.
4. Requirements regarding notification of neighboring property owners of proposed home
occupations.
Falcon Heights currently does not require notification. About half of the communities require
notification before the permit takes effect and the other half require no notification.
5. The usefulness of specifically listing permitted home occupations.
Falcon Heights does not specifically list permitted or non permitted uses as home occupations. Some
cities list both specifically permitted and prohibited uses and/or examples. The benefit of specifically
listing type of uses that are permitted help citizens decide if they need to apply for a permit. Likewise
listing types of uses that are strictly prohibited are useful in the initial inquiry process so that the
applicant is aware how reasonable or not their request is. Non permitted uses typically include things
such as automobile repair, machine shops, food service and welding. Permitted uses usually include
things such as professional offices and home crafts.
6. The usefulness of a conditional use permit for those that don't conform to the code is it better
just not to allow those that don't conform to the code?
Yes, it is better to just not allow uses that don't conform to the code. If a use does not meet the
standards of a home occupation, it is probably better suited for a business or industrial district. Of
course the City should maintain the conditional use or 'variance' for special cases. The City of St.
Paul allows 'variances' to the requirements of home occupation standards only to those that can show
some type of handicap (including allergies, mobility impairment, or any other handicap that can be
documented that would require the person to conduct business out of their home).
Another item the City may want to consider adding to the home occupation ordinance is limiting the
amount of a dwelling which can be used. Some ordinances specify one room, and others specify 20%
and 25% of a dwellings floor area. A percentage of floor area is more reasonable and enforceable
than an amount of moms.
Please let us know if you need any additional information on this.
Sincerely,
DAHLGREN, SHARDLOW, and UBAN INC.

Subdivision 25. Home Occupations.
a. Purpose. The purpose of this subdivision is to
define and regulate home occupations so as to permit
only those home occupations that are compatible with
other permitted uses and with the residential character
of neighborhoods. An additional purpose of this
section is to protect health, safety, and general
welfare of the surrounding neighborhood. No home
occupation shall be permitted which does not conform
with the definition, procedures and requirements which
follow in this subdivision.
b. Definition. A home occupation is a gainful
occupation carried on in a dwelling unit, and not in
any accessory building, within a residential district.
The occupation shall clearly be secondary to the use of
the dwelling for residential purposes, and shall not
change its character.
c. Procedures. No person shall conduct a home
occupation without first having obtained a license from
the Zoning Administration and the approval of the
Council. Applications for licenses, accompanied by the
appropriate fee, shall state facts that constitute the
basis for compliance with the requirements set forth in
provision (d). If the Zoning Administrator denies an
application for a home occupation license for failure
to comply with the requirements set forth in provision
112

in the opinion of the City Fire Chief, may
increase the risk of fire or use of rescue squads
at a greater level than would normally be expected
in a residential district.
3. Exterior storage shall not be permitted.
4. Adequate off street parking space for the home
occupation must be available as approved by the
Zoning Administrator, however, no home occupation

5. No accessory uses in conjunction with a home
occupation shall be permitted.
6. No home occupation shall be permitted within
an accessory building (as defined in this

11. Only occupants of the dwelling unit may
engage in the home occupation;
12. No traffic shall be generated by a home
occupation in greater volume than would normally

district. For the purpose of this subdivision,
commercial vehicle shall be defined as a
non passenger vehicle (as passenger vehicle is
defined in Falcon Heights Ordinance Section
9 -4.01, Subd. 5d.
14. No home occupation shall produce light glare,
noise, odor or vibration that has an objectionable
affect on a nearby property;
15. No equipment shall be used in a home
occupation that creates electrical interference to
surrounding property owners' radio or television
signals;
16. No home occupation shall be conducted between
the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. on weekdays,
or between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m.
on weekends and holidays;
17. No home occupation shall cause an increase in
sewer or water usage that exceeds the normal range

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Discussion on priority snow removal areas for
the public works staff
SUBMITTED BY: Vince Wright, Public Works Foreman
REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
Mr. Wright, the city's public works foreman, establishes
priorities for which areas (not plowed by the county) receive
snow removal first by the city's public works' staff. This year
the list includes additional plowing along Cleveland Avenue and
Coffman Street. If there is a heavy snowfall, not all plowing
can be done by three workers within a day. In a record breaking
storm, like the Halloween storm of 1992, the work takes several
days to accomplish. The department has a bobcat, two tractors, a
pick -up truck with a plow and two snowblowers. The snowblowers
are kept at the ice rinks. Two areas may be plowed at once. The
staff receives few calls requesting plowing in a way that would
change this priority list.
1. City hall area

CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Approval of position for administrative
assistant /planner with oversight of clerk responsibilities
SUBMITTED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
At the end of January, 1994 Shirley Chenoweth, the city clerk,
will be retiring from her position. On September 15, 1993,
the city council approved an early retirement option with PERA
for her at no cost to the city. The council also passed a
resolution demonstrating the necessity of maintaining a position
with clerk responsibilities for the city.
The city administrator is proposing that the council integrate
the clerk position with the existing (but unfilled) position of
planner and a new position of administrative assistant. This will
complement the strengths of the existing staff without adding
more staff positions nor increasing anticipated salary
expenditures. This individual will continue to supervise the
clerical staff, oversee the clerk's functions and oversee the
inspectors. Other staff members will take over some of the
varied tasks that Shirley accumulated over her fifteen years with
the city.
The position will not increase the city's staff size from eight
full time positions. It will require a bachelor's degree which is
not typically the case with a clerk's position. A clerk's
position is typically described as primarily clerical support and
record keeping related to elections, official records, licensing
and council minutes. (Shirley does much more.)
The recommended salary range is from 28,000 to 30,000. This
is consistent with the current city clerk's salary of 31,980
for 1994 and with the average Stanton survey salary for clerks of
smaller cities of $14.92 /hour ($31,000 annually). According to
the Stanton Survey this salary range is consistent with non
supervisory planners. It is within the range of administrative
assistant's salaries. Overall the combined administrative
assistant /planner /clerk role is unique for the city and the
salary isn't intended to reflect the salaries from larger cities
with different job responsibilities. If approved, the position
will be advertised in January, 1994.

street which abuts their property was not named in the petition. There is some support for
this position.
In a case where a property owner of the only lot on the block without a sidewalk
petitioned for a sidewalk, with the cost to be assessed against his lot only, the Attorney
General held that signature on the petition by only the affected lot owner satisfied the
statute. You have informed me that the proposed improvement project is non controversial
and that you are aware of no opposition. Under these circumstances, I think the City will
be adequately protected if it follows the basic procedure set forth below:
1. Obtain from School District 623 a written petition. The petition should be
duly adopted by the school district and should:
A. name the street (as defined by end points and by center line, if
necessary) which is the location of the improvement;
B. describe the improvement, including the plans, specifications and cost
estimates. Minn. Stat. 429.031, subd. 3 expressly provides: "[I]f the
owner is contracting for the construction of the improvement, the city
shall not approve the petition until it has reviewed and approved the
plans, specifications, and cost estimates contained in the petition. The
construction cost financed under Section 429.091 shall not exceed the
amount of the cost estimate contained in the petition." (emphasis
added);
C. request the City to assess the entire cost of the improvement, including
engineer's, attorney's, other consultant's and administrative fees of the
City, against the school district property; and
D. authorize the appropriate school district official to enter into a
cooperative agreement with the City acknowledging benefit to the
school district's property in the amount of the cost estimate, waiving
all rights to object to the amount of the special assessment, agreeing
to pay the assessment plus interest over a five -year period, agreeing
to defend and indemnify the City from any claims or liabilities with
respect to the improvement project, and other reasonable terms and
conditions.
2. The City (and the City Engineer) must review and approve the plans,
specifications and cost estimate.
3. The City Council must adopt a resolution which does two things: (i)
determines that the petition is duly signed by all owners of real property
abutting upon any street named as the location of any improvement in the
petition; and (ii) orders the improvement. The order for improvement should
be conditioned upon not receiving any objection or appeal within 30 days.
Ms. Susan Hoyt
November 12, 1993
Page 4
4. The school district lets the contract for the improvement in accordance with
normal public bidding and contracting requirements.
5. The City pays for work pursuant to the payout terms of the cooperative
agreement. The City is limited to payment of 95% of the amount earned
under the contract pursuant to Minn. Stat. 429.041, subd. 6. Upon
satisfactory completion of work, final payment (100% of contract amount) can
be made.
6. The City adopts assessment pursuant to the normal assessment procedure.
See Minn. Stat. 429.061. This includes published notice, mailed notice,
public hearing, etc., as in a standard assessment hearing, even though only
one property owner is being assessed and the property owner has previously
agreed to pay the assessment.
If you wish to proceed on this project, I think you should request that the school
district prepare an appropriate petition, containing at least the elements set forth above.
If you wish, feel free to provide a copy of this letter to the school district. I would be
happy to talk with anyone at the school district to clarify or discuss any matter contained
in this letter.
If you have any questions, please call me as soon as possible. In particular, I need
to know if you want me to proceed with drafting the cooperative agreement and, if so,
what the time schedule is. We also need to discuss precisely how you envision the payout
provisions under the cooperative agreement working.
Very truly yours,
LEONARD, STREET AND DEINARD

CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Review of city revenue, expenditure and
property tax information
SUBMITTED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
Over the past ten days the city staff received many calls from
Falcon Heights' homeowners about the increase in their property
taxes.
I. Property taxes and market values
A. Tax rates and market value
The overall tax rate increase in Falcon Heights for all
taxing jurisdictions is 9.49 In the city, there was
actually a decrease in the tax rate by .409 However,
many Falcon Heights' homeowners received increased market
values, sometimes as high as 10 on their homes which
created higher taxes for the city as well as the school
district and county. The market value increase is due to
the assessor's requirement to bring property's within 90% to
105% of their actual sale price. Property values rose an
average of 5.5% in Falcon Heights.
B. Appeal to the county
Individual property owners may feel their home is not
accurately valued and may call the county assessor's office
to find out when to request a re- evaluation and, if
approved, a tax abatement.
C. Calculating property taxes on a $110,000 home in Falcon
Heights
First 72,000 of market value X 1 720
additional value 38,000 X 2 760
Net tax capacity $1,480
Net tax capacity X tax rate total property
taxes
Total taxes on a 110,000 home
1993 1,480 X 1.30791 1,935.71
1994 $1,480 X 1.41912 2,100.30 >9%
City taxes on a $110,000 home
1993 city taxes on a 110,000 home $232.92
($1,480 X 15.738)
1994 city taxes on a 110,000 home $226.87 $6.05)
$1,480 X 15.329)
II. City revenue (property tax levy)
A. Increased market values do not mean that the city gets
more revenue from property taxes. The city only gets
what it levies for to meet expenditures.
B. The proposed city property tax levy rose by 4.59% for
1994. This was a combination of an increase in the ad
valorem tax revenue and a decrease in the fiscal
disparity tax revenue.
C. Expiration of TIF district provides the additional
$25,000 in levy.
The additional 4.59% is coming from the addition of a
tax increment district to the general property tax
roles. The property taxes from this district
previously went to pay for the general obligation bonds
associated with this economic development project.
III. City general fund expenditures
When the council prepared the draft budget, the council
carefully reviewed city expenditures for 1994 to be sure
that revenues would meet the anticipated expenditures to
maintain the current level of service in the city.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Discussion and suggestions on community
involvement in preparing the RFP for police services
SUBMITTED BY: Susan Gherz, Councilmember
Sam Jacobs, Councilmember
Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
On Tuesday, November 9, Councilmember Gherz, Councilmember Jacobs
and Administrator Hoyt met to discuss ways to get information
from community members to use in preparing the request for
proposals for police service. Since police service is important
to everyone from both a service delivery and taxpayer's
standpoint (it is the most costly city service), a broad -based
approach to gaining community input is extremely desirable.
Therefore, the first suggested approach to gather information is
a citywide questionnaire to be mailed to all residents and
businesses. The park and recreation commission and the solid
waste commission used this approach successfully to get
information. The draft questionnaire includes two open -ended
questions and a space for additional comments. The mailing will
cost approximately $885 if it includes a return envelope and $700
without a return envelope.
To provide opportunities for more personal involvement, a series
of four community meetings are suggested. These meetings, would
be scheduled around neighborhoods, tentatively in December. The
meeting format might include breaking into small groups with each
group assigned the task of deciding "what questions or services
would you ask a police department to provide in an RFP This is
similar to the format used for the city's comprehensive planning
process.
Finally, if a resident is unable to respond in writing to a
questionnaire and unable or uncomfortable attending a public
meeting, the option of calling city hall with his or her thoughts
is also possible.
In conjunction with working on community involvement, the
committee is researching different policing models to provide
additional insights into how to define a community's options for
meeting its policing /public safety needs.
ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Discuss the suggestions for community input including the
questions in the questionnaire.
2. Direct the committee /staff on how to proceed.
