Council Minutes
March 9, 1994
REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR BASEMENT STORAGE OF
APPROVED ITEMS AT 1533 TO 1559 W. LARPENTEUR AVENUE, BULLSEYE
SHOPPING CENTER [CHAPTER 9- 10.01, SUBDIVISION 2(B) OF THE ZONING CODE]
Bullseye Shopping center has approximately 14,800 square feet of finished basement
space. In order to bring in some revenue from this vacant space that is sprinklered
and has elevator access, the property manager is requesting that the area be leased
for storage of materials that will not create a fire hazard in the building. Council
discussed the proposed conditions that would have to be met for granting the permit.
Baldwin suggested that loading or unloading on Sundays be prohibited and stated in
the list of conditions to be met. After further brief discussion, Jacobs then moved to
adopt resolution R -94 -09 which carried unanimously.
RESOLUTION R -94 -09
A RESOLUTION GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
FOR BASEMENT STORAGE OF APPROVED ITEMS AT
1533 TO 1559 W. LARPENTEUR, BULLSEYE SHOPPING CENTER
REQUEST FOR APPROVAL AND FUNDING OF THE FIRST EMERGENCY MEDICAL
SERVICES (EMS) COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE
Joe Martinez, a member of the city's rescue team, along with the support of the fire
department, presented to council the department's proposal for an emergency medical
services open house for May 22nd. The purpose of the open house is to acquaint the
community with many aspects of the city's rescue service and to educate the
community about first aid safety. The hours of the open house are to be from noon
to 4 p.m. Council discussed the request to purchase static stickers with key medical
emergency information to put by a telephone. The money could come from
underspending in another category or from the contingency fund. The request was
for $275 for 500 stickers. Council agreed these stickers could be used to give to
residents all during the year so Hustad moved to approve the EMS open house and
also the purchase of 1,000 stickers for $380. Motion carried unanimously. The Fire
Relief Association plans to match the city's funds with its funds to kick off this event.

CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Request for approval of a citywide food drive
SUBMITTED BY: Ben Lamb, 1811 Simpson
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
A resident, Ben Lamb, is preparing for an Eagle Scout project in the City of Falcon
Heights. He is requesting that the city permit him to carry out a citywide food drive
as his Eagle Scout project. The drive is tentatively scheduled for May 14.
If approved by the city council, the city may note this in its early April newsletter.
During the past two years, two residents carried out city projects to earn Eagle Scout
honors. Andy Wallin repaired and replaced the excercise equipment on the para
course in Community Park. Brian Malzer organized a prairie planting in the Community
Park.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Discuss the proposed food drive.
Mayor Tom Baldwin
City of Falcon Heights
My name is Ben Lamb and I am fifteen. I have lived in Falcon
Heights all of my life and am soliciting the city council's
endorsement and support as I conduct my Eagle Scout Project.
My project is titled "Falcon Heights Food Shelf Day." I hope
to conduct it on May 21, 1994. My goal is to collect and
deliver up to one ton of non perishable food items to Sharing
and Caring Hands Inc. of Minneapolis.
I have chosen late May because food shelf donations
traditionally fall off at this time. People seem to believe
that as winter ends, so does hunger. I would like my project
to fill the void left by decreased donations.
Enclosed is a copy of my preliminary project plan for your
consideration.
The main purpose of this letter is to obtain the support of
my city government and a written endorsement from the city
council and /or mayor.
Secondly, I ask that you help me in any or all of the
following ways if at all possible.
1. Print a version of the attached flyer in the Falcon
Heights News Letter.
2. Display an endorsement on the billboard in front of City
Hall from May 14 thru May 21, 1994. Perhaps "GIVE TO THE
FOOD DRIVE, MAY 21!" would be appropriate
3. Authorize up to $100 for the printing of the attached
flyer for distribution by myself, on May 14, 1994.
4. Advise me on any legal requirements, permits, or codes
that pertain to the afore mentioned plan.
Thank you, in advance, for your consideration and support.
If you can provide me with any additional information or
would like to discuss any aspect of my plan, please call me
at (612) 646 -0059.
Again, thank you.
Sincerely
Benjamin Owen Lamb

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Request to approve the Cleveland median landscaping plan and agreement with
Ramsey County regarding takeover of the median by the city
SUBMITTED BY: Linda Treeful, City Forester
Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
Ramsey County engineers
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
In September, 1992 Ramsey County revised its construction plans for Cleveland Avenue from a
lane with a middle turn lane to eliminate the turn lane for a median planting between Roselawn and
Larpenteur Avenues. The county made this last minute change with the understanding that the city
will take over maintenance of the median after it is well established about two years after the
planting. In order to select a plant species that is attractive and will tolerate the traffic and salt,
the city forester, county landscape architect, and Minnesota Department of Transportation
representative researched and selected a landscape plan for the median.
At this time the county is proposing to landscape the median with its own crews in order to
save on labor costs. Since this will be the first landscaping project undertaken by the
Ramsey County public works department, it is important that the city monitor the county
procedures and care of the plants to assure that the median is attractive and in good health
prior to the city taking over the maintenance of the median before taking over the care of the
median.
Over the past few months, city staff worked with the county staff and a Minnesota Department
of Transportation representative to develop a planting and maintenance plan for the median. The
city is also requesting that the county guarantee the quality of planting and adherence to the
maintenance schedule.
Highlights of the plan include:
1. Planting 45 Japanese lilac trees down the median center flanked on either side by a row of 429
dwarf bush honeysuckle. Wood chip mulch will cover planting and paving block placed adjacent
to curbs will run the length of the median on each side. Installation to be completed in May,
1994. If the county cannot accomplish planting in May, the project will be delayed until
May, 1995.
2. The city will take over the care of the medians two years from the established maintenance date
if the maintenance schedule is adhered to and all plants are healthy. The 2 year maintenance
period will begin on the day installation of planting materials and paving blocks have been
completed. This date will be agreed upon by co- inspection by county staff and city
personnel (city forester).
3. The county agrees to water, prune, weed, control insects and
diseases, replace wood chips and replace unaccessible plant material during
the two year maintenance period.
4. The city forester will inspect the project during installation and
the county agrees to reimburse the city for one -half of the forester's
time not to exceed $300.00. A final inspection at the end of the
2 year maintenance period will be conducted by an expert hired by the city.
5. The city will allow the project to get underway only upon receipt of county
approval of a list of conditions for planting and maintenance prepared by the city forester.
(Most conditions are currently met by the county.)
ACTION REQUESTED:Approve the planting plan and agreement to takeover the maintenance of the
median after the two year post planting maintenance period is met and if all city conditions are met.

ITEM DESCRIPTION: Consideration of the planning commission's recommendations
regarding the interim development moratorium including proposed resolution amending
the comprehensive plan, amendments to the commercial zoning code ordinances,
amendments to the licensing ordinances, studies and resolutions related to adult uses,
pawn shops and High Impact second hand goods stores and amendments to the
interim development moratorium
SUBMITTED BY: Planning Commission
REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
Peter Bachman, City Attorney
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
At the March 9, 1994 workshop the council and planning commission discussed the
recommendations from the planning commission related to the city's interim
development moratorium that was adopted on March 30, 1993. The moratorium was
adopted to permit the city time to complete a planning study on its business districts
and to study the impacts from some specific commercial uses.
The recommendations from the planning commission incorporate three ways for cities
to control land uses for the benefit of the health, safety and welfare of the citizens
of the City of Falcon Heights. These include: 1) zoning for the use as a permitted,
conditional or accessory use or not permitting the use; 2) licensing the use and
charging a fee that covers some of the cities' costs; and 3) combining licensing and
zoning. The commission held public hearings on the proposed amendments to the
comprehensive plan, zoning code and moratorium.
The staff will summarize the proposed changes according to the order it appears in
the attached package. Please note the language in attachment 1 regarding the
possible addition of pool halls and billiard parlors as a conditional use in the B 3 zone
as discussed at the joint council and planning commission workshop.

The district applies only to the four quadrants of the
Larpenteur and Snelling intersection. The district is
designed to provide retail sales and services that serve the
surrounding neighborhoods' and community's needs. Retail
sales and services that serve a larger geographic area are
available in larger, nearby business districts in adjacent
cities. By limiting and controlling the uses that are
permitted, the district is designed to be accessible to
retail customers from the nearby neighborhoods and the
community, to be compatible with the character of the
neighborhoods and overall community, and to minimize the
blighting influence on the surrounding residential
neighborhoods.
Furthermore, the district provides for and encourages
compact centers for retail sales and services by grouping
businesses into patterns of workable relationships that
complement each other. The district is designed to be
easily accessible to users. It excludes highway oriented and
other high traffic volume businesses that would tend to
disrupt the cohesiveness of the shopping center or its
circulation patterns and shared parking arrangements.

Adding: Bank drive -in facilities as an accessory use to a

excluding area devoted to bowling lanes and one
video or electronic game per 300 square feet of
area excluding area devoted to bowling lanes are
permitted accessory uses to a bowling alley.

(iii) The portion of used merchandise on the premises may
not, at any time, occupy more than ten percent of
the sales area of the premises.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 5, SECTION 1.03 OF THE CITY CODE

BY ADDING REGULATING AND LICENSING OF THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
ENTERPRISES AND PRECIOUS METAL DEALERS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS HEREBY ORDAINS AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 5 -1.03 of the city code is hereby amended to add the
regulation and licensing of the following businesses:
1. Section 5 -1.03. Regulation of Specific Businesses and
Products
E. Therapeutic Massage Enterprises.
1. Purpose. The purpose of this Division of the City
Code is to prohibit massage businesses and services to
the public except those licensed as therapeutic massage
enterprises pursuant to this section. The licensing
regulations prescribed herein are necessary in order to
prevent criminal activity and to protect the health and
welfare of the community. The purpose of this Section
is not to impose restrictions or limitations on the
freedom of protected speech or expression.
2. Findings of the City Council. The city council of
the City of Falcon Heights makes the following findings
regarding the need to license therapeutic massage
enterprises and therapists and to prohibit all other
types of massage businesses and services to the public:
a. Persons who have bonafide and standardized
training in therapeutic massage, health, and
hygiene can provide a legitimate and necessary
service to the general public.
b. Health and sanitation regulations governing
therapeutic massage enterprises and therapists can
minimize the risk of the spread of communicable
diseases and can promote overall health and
sanitation.
1
c. License qualifications for the restrictions on
therapeutic massage enterprises and therapists can
minimize the risk that such businesses and persons
will facilitate prostitution and other criminal
activity in the community.
d. Massage services provided by persons with no
specialized and standardized training in massage
can endanger citizens by facilitating the spread
of communicable diseases, by exposing citizens to
unhealthy and unsanitary conditions, and by
increasing the risk of personal injury.
e. Massage businesses which employ persons with
no specialized and standardized training can tax
city law enforcement services because such
businesses are more likely to be operated as
fronts for prostitution and other criminal
activity than operations established by persons
with standardized training.
3. Definitions. The following words and terms when
used in this section shall have the following meanings
unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
a. Massage Any method of pressure on, or
friction against, or the rubbing, stroking,

antiseptic, oil, powder, cream, lotion, ointment,
or other similar preparations.
b. Therapeutic Massage Enterprise A person who
operates a business which hires only licensed

Report Related to Adult Uses
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
REVIEWED BY: Peter Bachman, City Attorney
RE: Negative secondary impacts related to adult uses and proposed findings of
negative secondary impacts
BACKGROUND
The city included adult use enterprises, hereinafter referred to as adult uses, in its
interim development moratorium in March, 1993 because of their potential
negative secondary impacts on surrounding land uses. To be able to address
whether or not there are negative secondary impacts from adult uses, staff
reviewed studies conducted by other cities.
STUDIES USED TO DETERMINE SECONDARY IMPACTS
Several local and national studies have determined that negative secondary impacts
result from adult uses. The following studies were used as resources to determine
the secondary impacts resulting from adult uses.

The City of Ramsey Adult Uses, Planning Report, prepared by
Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc., September, 1990
SUMMARY OF KEY FINDINGS FROM THESE STUDIES
Study 1. City of Phoenix, Arizona (May, 1979)
The Phoenix, Arizona study entitled "Relation of Criminal Activity and Adult
Businesses" determined that arrests for sexual crimes and locations of adult uses
were directly related. The research was designed around three study areas with
adult uses and three control areas without adult uses. In brief, the study concluded
than, on average, in the three study areas with adult uses property crimes were 43
per cent higher, violent crimes were four percent higher and sex crimes were over
500 per cent higher that in the control areas without adult uses.
Study 2. City of Indianapolis, Indiana (1984)
A study of "Adult Entertainment Businesses in Indianapolis" prepared by the City
of Indianapolis in 1984 analyzed crime data in a study area with at least one adult
use and a control area without an adult use. The research also included a national
survey of appraisers to determine the impact of adult uses on adjacent and nearby
property values. In sum, the crime analysis found that major crimes occurred in
the study area with the adult use(s) at a rate 23% higher than in the six similar
areas studied without an adult use(s). The study found a close link between crime
and the residential character of the neighborhood with adult uses nearby. In the
residential areas with adult use(s), crime frequencies were 56% higher than in the
commercial areas without an adult use(s).
The research also found that although the housing base in the study area with an
adult use(s) was of a distinctly higher value than the control areas without the
adult use(s), the study area's value appreciated at half the rate of the control areas
between 1979 and 1982.
The Indianapolis Study cited the results of a national survey done using a random
sample of 20% of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and a sampling
of Member Appraisers Institute (MAI) to determine the impact of adult uses on
surrounding property values. The survey results found that:
1. Survey respondents overwhelmingly (80 percent) felt that an adult
bookstore located in the hypothetical neighborhood described in the
survey would have a negative impact on residential property values of
premises located within one block of the site.
2. Seventy -two percent of the respondents also felt that there would be
a detrimental effect on commercial property values at the same one
block radius.
3. This negative impact dissipates markedly as the distance from the site
increases, so that at three blocks a negative impact on residential
property continued, but the degree of impact had decreased by more
than one -half as judged by the number of respondents indicating
negative impact at three blocks.
Study 3. City of St. Paul, Minnesota (1987, 1988)
A third study prepared by the City of St. Paul Planning and Economic Development
Department analyzed population and crime characteristics of a St. Paul
neighborhood, the University Dale neighborhood, where a number of adult uses
were located to determine the secondary impacts from these businesses. The
study found that the neighborhood exhibited many signs of distress including the
highest unemployment rate in the city, the highest percentage of families below
the poverty line, the lowest median family income and the lowest percentage of
high school and college graduates. The study hypothesized that the adult uses lead
to prostitution which then lead to other types of crime. The study found that the
city's highest number of prostitution arrests occurred at five intersections near the
University and Dale intersection. The residents in the University and Dale
neighborhood reported frequent sex related harassment by motorists and
pedestrians in the neighborhood.
The report also included the findings from a research firm's was done for residents
perceptions of the safety in the area. The survey, which

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SECONDARY IMPACTS FROM ADULT USES AND THE
CITY'S AUTHORITY TO CONTROL ADULT USES saf
Since cities are charged with the responsibility of protecting ne h alth veety and
welfare of the community, many cities use the information on
secondary impacts gained from these studies on adult
is done through reason
to control
the location and operation of adult uses. Typically a
combination of zoning and licensing controls.
PROPOSED FINDINGS

TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
Planning Commission
FROM: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
REVIEWED BY: Peter Bachman, City Attorney
RE: Study related to location of pawn shops and HIGH IMPACT secondhand
goods stores
Background
While undergoing a study of uses in its commercial zoning districts, the City of
Falcon Heights's Planning Commission ff studi shops and High Impact specific
uses in the city's commercial districts including pawn
secondhand goods stores. The proposed zoning revisions clarify that pawn shops
are not allowed. Secondhand goods stores which engage in the sale of any of the
following items are not allowed: any used automobiles; electronic equipment such
as stereos, cameras, computers, televisions, audio appliances; jewelry and precious
gems; or guns (hereinafter, referred to as High Impact secondhand goods stores).
The City of Falcon Heights's commercial districts are designed to serve the
neighborhood or community. They are not general business districts nor is Falcon
Heights a regional shopping area. The close proximity between the commercial
areas and residential dwellings, typically 40 feet to 100 feet, requires careful
attention to possible impacts from nearby commercial uses.
Study
Crime data. Pawn shops and High Impact secondhand goods stores (selling
easily fenced items) are frequently part of the cycle of crime by receiving
and selling stolen goods. The planning commission and staff reviewed the
crime data associated with these uses. Crime data on these uses was
collected from several Twin City municipalities (Attachment 1). The
information gathered found that the number of reported crimes for pawn
shops and High Impact secondhand goods stores varied with individual
stores, but that as a group there were more reported crimes than with other
commercial uses permitted in the city's commercial district.
Local zoning. The study also reviewed the zoning requirements that other
cities utilize to control the impacts from these uses. The Cities of
Minneapolis, Richfield and Bloomington are illustrative. These cities permit
pawn shops and High Impact secondhand goods stores in their general
business districts rather than in their community or neighborhood business
districts. The City of Richfield has a distancing requirement of 250 feet
from any residentially zoned district. In the City of Falcon Heights, the
commercial districts and the residential districts are adjacent. Most
commercial structures are 40 feet to 100 feet from residential structures.
The farthest distance that a commercial structure is from a residential
structure is 250 feet. Therefore, th residential l struct resi stance
requirements between these b usinesses and
Availability. The City of Falcon Heights, with limited commercial space and
a population of 5,380 people, does not provide commercial services to a
regional area. It is located adjacent to the Cities of St. Paul and Roseville,
which provide those services within easy access to residents and visitors in
the City of Falcon Heights. The city is four miles from downtown
Minneapolis. There are currently at least nine pawn shops and High Impact
secondhand stores within a five to fifteen minute drive of the City of Falcon
Heights (Attachment 2). There is also bus service available for access. (This
number is listed in the phone book's yellow pages. Many of these
establishments may not advertise or be listed in the yellow pages.)
Conclusion
As a result of this staff research and the planning commission's consideration of
High
this research, the planning commissionconcluded of ycle of crime and have adverse
Impact secondhand goods stores are p that the distance
impacts on the nearby residential property and businesses;
requirements used to ameliorate these impacts in other cities aren't feasible in the
city; that it is expensive to license and provide adequate police services for these
uses; that there is limited commercial area in Falcon Heights, which is used to
serve the community needs; that these uses are available within a five to fifteen
minute drive from Falcon Heights; and that the location of pawn shops and High
Impact secondhand goods stores in Falcon Heights would jeopardize the health,
safety and welfare of its citizens.

CITY CODE RELATING TO AN INTERIM DEVELOPMENT
MORATORIUM ON COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICTS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS HEREBY ORDAINS AS
FOLLOWS:
1. Section 5 -5.01 (B) is amended to read as follows:
B. Findings and Purpose. In 1991 the city council adopted
a comprehensive plan for the city. The Metropolitan Council
approved that plan in April, 1992. A recommendation in the
city's comprehensive plan included studying andrevising the
city's commercial districts to conform to theplan and
address future needs. In October, 1992, the citycouncil
contracted with the Hoisington Group, Inc. to carryout a
planning study on all the city's commercial zones, to
evaluate and recommend changes in the commercial zoning
designations, to work with the property owners to determine
future needs and to make recommendations to the planning
commission and city council for revising the commercial
zoning code provisions. The Hoisington Group, Inc. and the
city completed a study of the city's commercial zones.
After the completion of the planning study, the city adopted
related planning studies, zoning and licensing provisions as
necessary to address these uses with the exception of stores
selling firearms or ammunition. Staff is continuing to do a
planning study on stores that sell firearms or ammunition
and their relationship to the city's commercial and
residential districts.
The city council has concluded that the granting of any
permits or development approval, as specifically set forth
in Subd. 3, could destroy or impair the integrity of the
planning process and that a development moratorium is
necessary to preserve the status quo pending completion of
the planning study on stores that sell firearms and
ammunition.
It is the intention of the city council to protect the
described planning process and the health, safety and
welfare of its citizens by adopting an interim ordinance for
a reasonable period of time during the time period of the
study, planning and implementation activities.
2. Section 5 -5.02 (A) is amended to read as follows:
A. Restrictions. No request for re- zoning, conditional use
permit, variance, subdivision, building permit, business
license, certificate of occupancy, or any other land use
approval, affecting property located within the B -1, B -2 and
B -3 zoning districts shall be accepted for processing or
considered by the city council for stores selling any
firearms or ammunition.
1. Applications for hardship waiver pursuant to
Section 5 -5.03 of this code.
3. Section 5 -5.02 (B) is amended to read as follows:
B. Applicability. This section shall cover all commercial
zoning districts in the City of Falcon Heights. This
includes B -1, B -2, and B -3.
4. Section 5 -5.04, TERM, is amended to read as follows:
This interim moratorium became effective on March 31, 1993
and
planning 1994, upon completion
whichever
plang st y
is first.
This ordinance adopted this March 23, 1994
will become
effective following its publication.

A RESOLUTION AMENDING A PORTION OF THE CITY'S
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RELATING TO
COMMERCIAL /BUSINESS AREAS
WHEREAS, Page 26 of the Falcon Heights comprehensive
plan addresses plan elements for the city's commercial /Business
areas, including the Snelling /Larpenteur Commercial Core; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to amend this section of the
comprehensive plan in order to consider proposed amendments to
the city code relating to business uses; and
WHEREAS, the planning commission following their
February 28, 1994 public hearing unanimously recommended amending
portions of page 26 of the comprehensive plan;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the city council of
the City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota, that page 26 of the
comprehensive plan relating to commercial /business areas be
amended as recommended by the planning commission as follows
effective upon approval by the Metropolitan Council:
COMMERCIAL AREAS /BUSINESSES
(Page 26 of the Comprehensive Plan)
Plan Elements
Based on the lack of a vacant land resource and the adequacy of
commercial services in the general market area, the City of
Falcon Heights does not intend to create additional commercial
areas. Instead, it intends to improve and redevelop existing
commercial business areas, particularly the Snelling /Larpenteur
Commercial Core, in a manner that is in keeping with competitive
contemporary retail /service standards of design and quality for a
community oriented business district while minimizing impacts on
adjacent residential areas. It is also the intent of the plan to
create an attractive, easily accessible and visually secure
commercial area for retail customers.
Furthermore, given the limited land area for commercial use in
the city, 1.8% of the total land use, it is the intent of the
city to attract businesses that serve local employees, nearby
residents and community members rather than a broader consumer
base. The broader consumer base is served by the larger, more
diversified and readily accessible commercial areas in the
adjacent cities of St. Paul and Roseville as well as nearby
Minneapolis.
The plan also intends to include only businesses that are
compatible and complementary to the adjacent residential areas,
and to exclude uses that are not fully compatible with adjacent
residential uses or are not consistent with the community focus
of the city's commercial districts. This is especially important
because given the limited land supply and corresponding limited
buffer areas all commercial structures are within 270 feet of
residential structures; and many commercial buildings are within
40 to 50 feet of residential buildings and homes.
An exception may include the expansion of the Prior Avenue
Limited Business area westerly to Cleveland Avenue should the
University choose to divest itself of these agricultural lands.
This would provide for an additional 20 acres of limited
commercial development.
The Land Use Plan establishes three categories of
commercial /business use including the Snelling /Larpenteur
Commercial Core, Neighborhood Convenience and Limited Business as
follows:
Snelling /Larpenteur Commercial Core This embraces all four
quadrants of the intersection of Larpenteur and Snelling Avenues
where it is the intent of the City to see the core improved as
the community's only major commercial /shopping center. It is
intended that the core maintain its mixed use character, that it
be substantially upgraded and redeveloped, as appropriate, to
improve its commercial viability as a community retail area and
accessibility while meeting standards of design that are
consistent with the City's goals. It is the intent of the City
that the core provide limited retail trade, business services and
offices to satisfy the needs of the immediately surrounding
community and complement the adjacent residential areas. Some
uses which draw from a larger market area may be permissible
provided that they do not have the potential for negative impacts
on adjacent residential property. It is further intended that
each individual quadrant of the core be planned and developed as
an integrated unit or cluster of shops and businesses that are
capable of functioning as a unit and sharing parking to the
maximum degree possible.
Activities and improvements that will be considered for the
Snelling /Larpenteur Commercial Core include:
Redevelopment of the southeast quadrant for mixed use.
Storefront and sign improvements for the northwest quadrant.
Establishment of sign and design guidelines for improvements
throughout the Core.
Placement of electrical and telephone utilities underground.
Planning and implementation of parking, circulation,
lighting and landscaping improvements.

CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS
COUNCIL RESOLUTION
Date:
A RESOLUTION REGARDING NEGATIVE SECONDARY IMPACT
FINDINGS FROM ADULT USES
WHEREAS, the aforementioned reports and studies, reviewed
by the staff and on file at city hall, document negative secondary impacts
from adult uses;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
Falcon Heights finds that:
1. That it is the City of Falcon Heights responsibility to protect the
health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Falcon Heights.
2. That adult uses create negative secondary impacts in a
community, including increased crime, increased harassment of
neighborhood residents, increased health risks, diminished
property values, and general neighborhood blight.
3. That areas within close walking distance of residential dwellings
and other community commercial uses should be free of adult
business uses.
4. That areas where children could be expected to walk, patronize
or recreate should be free of certain adult business uses.
5. That the image of the City of Falcon Heights as a pleasant and
attractive and safe place to reside will be adversely affected by
the presence of adult business uses in close proximity to its
residential neighborhoods.
6. That the negative secondary impacts from adult business uses
can extend for at least three blocks (or 1,800 feet) and they,
therefore, cannot be ameliorated in the City of Falcon Heights
because of its unique circumstances including its commercial
districts' proximity to residential property and its limited
commercial land area which must serve the immediate needs of
the community.
7. That all commercially zoned districts in the City of Falcon
Heights directly abut residentially zoned districts. All
commercial buildings are within approximately 250 feet of
residential dwellings and most are within 40 feet to 100 feet of
residential property and, therefore, fall within the highly
negative impact area from close proximity to an adult use(s).
8. That there is no space to create a physical buffer between the
commercial and residential areas to ameliorate any negative
impacts that might result from adult uses that are located in the
adjacent commercial area because these residential and
commercial areas are typically separated by a limited space,
usually a fifteen foot wide alley which must remain open for
access.
9. That the close proximity of the city's residential areas to its
commercial areas make it impossible to adopt the spacing
requirements used by other cities to ameliorate these negative
secondary impacts. For example, the City of Minneapolis
requires that adult uses be 1,000 feet from residential
structures, the City of St. Paul requires that adult uses be 800
feet from residential structures outside the downtown area and
400 feet within the downtown area, the City of Bloomington
requires that adult uses be 500 feet from residential property
and the City of Ramsey requires that adult business uses be
1,000 feet from residential property.
10. That the City of Falcon Heights has no land zoned for industrial
use or for general business district use, zones that cities use for
adult business use zones. For example, the City of St. Paul
permitted adult uses that meet the spacing requirements of the
zoning code in its general business district zone, downtown
zone and two industrial zones. Minneapolis permits adults only
bookstores, entertainment centers and motion picture theaters
in designated areas in the central business district. The City of
Falcon Heights limited available commercial area of 26 acres,
1.8% of its total land area, and 7% of the land area not
including the Minnesota State Fair and the University of
Minnesota, makes it prudent for the city to use its commercial
areas to encourage businesses that serve the immediate
community's needs rather than to encourage businesses that
serve a larger consumer group within the metropolitan area.
11. That the City of Falcon Heights is part of a major metropolitan
area and is served by regional commercial centers where adult
uses are readily available to individuals in or near the vicinity of
the City of Falcon Heights.
12. That the City of Falcon Heights is a small city with a population
of 5,380 persons and a geographic area of approximately 2.2
miles. It is centrally located in the Twin Cities' metropolitan
area of 2.35 million people and a geographic area of 2,985
square miles. There are adjacent or nearby cities that currently
provide regional commercial services to Falcon Heights and the
surrounding area.
13. That there are adult uses and adult use zones located in
adjacent and nearby cities, where the adult uses' negative
secondary impacts can be ameliorated through a combination
of zoning and licensing controls that are readily accessible to
Falcon Heights (Attachment 1 and 2). These cities include the
Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis. The distance from the City
of Falcon Heights to the City of Minneapolis's adult uses is
about four miles. The City of St. Paul is adjacent to the City of
Falcon Heights. The City of Falcon Heights is located about
three miles from the City of St. Paul's adult uses and adult use
zones. Furthermore, the estimated travel time from the City of
Falcon Heights to adult uses in the City of Minneapolis is
approximately ten to fifteen minutes driving time. The travel
time from the City of Falcon Heights to an adult use or an adult
use zone in the City of St. Paul is approximately ten to fifteen
minutes.
14. That it is the city's responsibility to protect the health, safety
and welfare of the citizens of the City of Falcon Heights, and
since there are documented negative secondary impacts from
adult uses that cannot be ameliorated in the City of Falcon
Heights due to its unique size and land use configuration, and
since the City of Falcon Heights is part of the Twin Cities
metropolitan area with numerous commercial service areas
where the negative secondary impacts from adult uses can be
ameliorated by the local jurisdiction through a combination of
zoning and licensing controls, therefore, adult uses are no
listed as a permitted, conditional or accessory use in the it 's
zoning code. Adult uses are, thereby, excluded from the City
of Falcon Heights.

A RESOLUTION RELATED TO LOCATION OF PAWN SHOPS AND
HIGH IMPACT SECONDHAND GOODS STORES
WHEREAS, the City of Falcon Heights planning commission studied
the possible impacts from pawn shops and High Impact secondhand goods stores
and the city council received the results of this study;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the City Council of the City of
Falcon Height finds:
1. That pawnbrokers and High Impact secondhand goods dealers provide
an opportunity for the commission of crimes and their concealment
because such businesses have the ability to receive and transfer
stolen property easily and quickly.
2. That the location of such a business, that provides an opportunity for
the commission of crimes and their concealment, residential dwellings,
may have impacts on nearby residential property in the form of
decreased property values and a less desirable image for the
neighborhood and diminished safety of residents in the neighborhood.
3. That the location of such a business, that provides an opportunity for
the commission of crimes and their concealment, may lead to a Tess
desirable image for the business district;
4. That several pawn shops and High Impact secondhand stores are
available businesses in adjacent cities within one to four miles of
Falcon Heights and within a five to fifteen minutes drive from the City
of Falcon Heights. Access to these businesses is also available by
bus.
5. That the small size of Falcon Heights's commercial district and its
close proximity to residential property make it important to use this

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Request for authorization to send the final notice of
termination for the city's current police contract
SUBMITTED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
REVIEWED BY: Peter Bachman, City Attorney
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
On September 15, 1993 the council authorized the city administrator to send the city
manager of the City of Roseville the preliminary notice of termination for the police
services contract between the Cities of Falcon Heights and Roseville. The preliminary
notice of termination stated that the city would be terminating its police contract on
December 31, 1994.
Since that time the City of Falcon Heights carried out a communitywide process to
gather information for a request for proposals for police services starting on January
1, 1995. The City of Roseville received an RFP for police service on February 24,
1994.
The city's current police services contract requires a final notice of termination notice
be sent not before April 1, 1994 and no later than May 31, 1994. The city
administrator is requesting authorization to send this notice of final termination so the
city is able to negotiate a new police contract after proposals are received on April 8,
1994 to start on January 1, 1995.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Authorize the city administrator to send a final notice of termination for the police
services contract with the City of Roseville as of December 31, 1994 at midnight.

CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Process for request for proposals for police services
SUBMITTED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
REVIEWED BY: Sue Gehrz, Councilmember
Sam Jacobs, Councilmember
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
The city sent out a request for proposals for police services on February 24, 1994.
Prior to receiving the proposals for police service, it is time to discuss how to proceed
with the proposals' review once they are submitted.
Since police services directly and indirectly affect everyone in the community, the city
council carried out an extensive process for developing the RFP for police services.
This involved reviewing all police comments received by the city staff over the years,
soliciting comments in a citywide survey of residents, business persons and
fire /rescue personnel, and holding five neighborhood meetings. Once the city's police
needs were determined, in part, through this community involvement, the needs were
identified in service delivery questions in the RFP.
By soliciting proposals that emerged from this community process, the council will be
better prepared to evaluate the police proposals and specify the police services in its
police contract for January 1, 1995.
The steps in the proposed review process are designed to provide as complete
information as possible on each of the proposals prior to the city council's selection
of a specific proposal. The process includes an invitation to all proposers to explain
their proposal and answer questions at a public meeting.
ATTACHMENTS:
A Proposed process for reviewing the Request for Proposals for Police Services
ACTION REQUESTED:
Discuss and adopt a process for reviewing the request for proposals for police services
after their submission on April 8, 1994.
PROPOSED PROCESS FOR REVIEWING THE
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR POLICE SERVICE
Introduction
In the fall of 1993, city officials invited community members to identify what they
want in their police service by reviewing individuals' comments made to city staff,
implementing a citywide survey and hosting five neighborhood meetings. These
community wants and needs were incorporated into the city's RFP for police
services through specific service delivery questions. The RFP was distributed in
February, 1994. It is time to outline how these proposals will be reviewed after
they are submitted to the city.
Steps for reviewing the police proposals
1. The city will receive proposals by 4:30 PM on April 8, 1994.
2. Administrator Hoyt will review all proposals for their completeness. If
necessary, missing information and clarifications will be collected from the
organizations submitting the proposals.
3. Councilmember Gehrz, Councilmember Jacobs and Administrator Hoyt will
organize the proposals' responses into a format that is useful for comparing
the proposals' services and costs. They will also use a format that helps
demonstrate how closely the proposals meet the city's police service needs.
4. Councilmember Gehrz, Councilmember Jacobs and Administrator Hoyt will
meet with the fire chief, assistant chiefs and rescue captains to receive their
comments on the fire /rescue portions of the proposals and on how closely
they feel that these organizations's proposals can meet their specific needs.
5. The proposals, the information grid and a summary of all other relevant
information will be provided to the mayor and councilmembers for their
review.
6. Representatives of all organizations submitting a proposal will be invited to
present their proposal to the mayor, council and public at a council meeting
and to respond to questions (probably on April 27,1994).
(Publish a public notice of this council meeting in the Focus and also provide
press releases to the Bugle, Review, Focus, Pioneer Press and Star Tribune
so the public is well informed of this opportunity. This date may be
tentatively noted in the early April newsletter article on the RFP.)
7. At this meeting (if time permits) or at a subsequent meeting, the council
shall discuss the merits of the different proposals and direct Administrator
Hoyt on points to discuss or negotiate with a particular police provider or
providers. (Councilmembers Gehrz and Jacobs will be involved in this
discussion and negotiation process.)
(The limited time at this meeting will most likely require that the council
discuss specific proposals at a subsequent council meeting. If so, the
meeting date for this discussion shall be announced at this meeting for
public information and use by the media.)
8. Following further discussions with a police provider or providers, the council
will be presented with any additional information on the proposal(s) at a
subsequent council meeting. Based upon this additional information, the
council may adopt a police service proposal for 1995.
9. At the same meeting that the council adopts a police proposal, the council
shall direct Administrator Hoyt and Attorney Bachman to draft a contract
that covers the service and costs described in the proposal that the city
council approved.
10. The council shall approve the final contract for police service at a later
council meeting.
Follow- up and coordination
Once the council approves the contract, it will be important to work with the police
provider to make sure that the service identified in the contract is clearly
understood by all parties involved in providing and receiving the police service so
that it is ready to deliver on January 1, 1995.

Chair Marty McCleery called the meeting to order at 7 :05 p.m.
COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: Jeffrey Alexander, John Brynildson,
Michael Haglund, Laura Kuettel, Barbara Leary, Marty McCleery, Susan
Smith, Shirley Chenoweth, staff representative, and John Hustad,
council liaison.
COMMISSION MEMBERS ABSENT: None.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF DECEMBER 9, 1993: Susan Smith moved and
Jeffrey Alexander seconded the approval'of the minutes of the
December 9, 1993, meeting.
ADDITION TO AGENDA: Laura Kuettel added to the agenda her report
regarding an organized collection of unsold items after the proposed
city -wide garage sale.
WELCO ME OF NEW MEMBERS: The Solid Waste Commission welcomed two
new members, Jeffrey Alexander and Barbara Leary, and also welcomed
former member John Hustad as the new liaison between the Commission
and the City Council. Introductions were exchanged.
RECRUITMENT OF NEW
MEMBERS: The Solid Waste Commission is still
two members short of full capacity. Discussion continued regarding
approaching "target" categories to fill the vacancies.
a. Multi -unit Housina Resident. Residents of multi -unit
housing are likely to have different concerns than
single family residents. It was noted that Commonwealth
Terrace has a separate recycling program and its residents
would offer a unique perspective to the Commission's
recycling activities. Multi -unit residents are also likely
to be more transient. Departing commissioners are
presently required to remain on the Commission until a
replacement is appointed. Multi -unit residents could be
approached through a specific invitation in the Focus, and
possibly through a flyer or sign posted in common areas of
multi -unit buildings.
b. Business Owner. While business owners may not live in
Falcon Heights, they have a direct interest in the City's
environmental concerns. If a nonresident business owner
had difficulty in attending evening meetings, he or she
could participate indirectly by receiving Commission
materials and submitting comments and ideas by mail or
telephone.
c. Student. Schools could be approached to identify a
suitable student to serve on the Commission, either in a
voting or a non voting capacity. It was noted that some
students who live in Falcon Heights do not go to school in
the area, so an inquiry to the public high school would not
JAN 25 '9q 1 @:45AP1 PETERSEN TEWS SQUI
open the position to all local students. The appropriate
age for a student commissioner was also discussed. A
student younger than high school age was determined to be
too young to participate meaningfully in the Commission's
activities. A high school senior would likely be the most
mature, but a sophomore would be in a position to serve
three years to coincide with the last three years of
school. Barbara Leary will make inquiries regarding the
level of interest among local students and the logistics of
appointing a student commissioner.
E Z RECYCLING: E Z's contract expires in March, 1994. Rather
than do a new request for proposals, the City has the option of
renewing the E Z contract. There have been no major problems
reported with E Z, and Shirley Chenoweth continues to find E 2 good
to work with on an administrative level. The Commission recommends
that the City negotiate a new Contract with E Z, taking the
following issues into consideration:
a. IrInath of Con ray-+ E Z would like a contract longer than
one year. A multi -year contract would benefit. the City by
eliminating the need for annual RFPs and/or contract
negotiations and by fixing the cost for a longer period.
However, new proposals should be solicited every few years
to maintain competitive rates. The Commission recommends
that the City negotiate a two -year contract with;E Z for
1994 and 1995 and plan to put out an RFP for the Contract
which will commence in March, 1996.
b. Rate Structure. E Z has proposed two alternative rate
structures for the new contract. One proposal maintains
1993's fixed $175 monthly "rebate" to the City and
increases the 1993 rates for dwellings under 17 units by
21 while the other proposal eliminates the rebate and
increases rates by 11 The two structures have the same
bottom line result to the City (a 19% increase over 1993).
Because the result is the same either way, it makes sense
to eliminate the rebate and simplify the rate structure.
c. Expansion of Collectibaa Items. O
objectives is to continue increasin the tnumbermof 1pro'u
collected at curbside. Desirable additions to the existing
line -up include egg cartons, cereal -type boxes and plastic
bags for recycling, and food for delivery to food shelves.
The Commission recommends that the City require E Z to add
at least one new recyclable (preferably cereal boxes or
plastic bags) to the items it collects as a condition of
the new contract.
d. Fifth Friday Collection. E Z's proposal is based on a
third collection in those months with five Fridays. Fifth
Friday collection was not included in E Z's 1993 contract,
but it was offered by Knutson in 1992. Some residents
reportedly continue mistakenly to put out recyclables on
the fifth Friday, but it appears that most residents have
-2-
J-111 GO 7.4 1LWJ tx J1J1
adjusted to the change. To add fifth Friday collection in
1994, after offering it in 1992 for the first time and then
eliminating it in 1993, may cause even greater confusion to
residents. Some residents reportedly dislike the greater
accumulation of recyclables in months which have a fifth
Friday, but experience with Knutson also showed that fifth
Friday collection resulted in substantially reduced
collections the following week (which is the first Friday
of the next month). E Z did not quote a lower price for
collection on just the first and third Fridays of each
month, but it will obviously save money if it does not do
an additional collection in months with a fifth Friday.
The Commission recommends that the City not reinstate fifth
Friday collection and that it request a corresponding
reduction in E Z's proposed rates.
e. ,Sot Market Prices. Under the Knutson contract, the City
got a rebate based on the prices at which recyclables were
sold. As part of this process, Knutson provided spot
market prices with its reports to the City. The Commission
recommends that the City ask E Z to provide this
information, although it has no impact on the contract
price, because it is useful to the Commission to be
informed of the status of the market for recyclables.
CITYWIDE GARAGE SALE: The Falcon Heights City -Wide Garage Sale is
scheduled for May 21, 1994, subject to City Council approval, Local
businesses will be invited to hold sidewalk sales or other tie -in
promotions on the same day.
The Commission discussed potential problems which could arise
from inviting nonresidents into the community on a large scale,
including disruption to nonparticipating residents. Jeff Alexander
reported that the Bryn Mawr neighborhood in Minneapolis has
conducted a community garage sale for many years and it has become
well -known among residents, most of whom now participate (as do
local businesses). Susan Smith reported that St. Anthony Park did
not encounter any significant problems with its two previous
community --wide sales. The sale is likely to create far less traffic
than the State Fair, and it will only take place on one Saturday.
To minimize disruption, participants will be kept to strict
observance of the "official" starting time of the sale. Advertising
outside the City may be postponed until the day of the sale to avoid
pre shopping. If any residents have special events planned and are
concerned about parking or other disruptions, if they notify the
City or the Commission, or simply work with their neighbors, it
should be possible to come up with a solution such as combining
immediate neighbors' sales at a location further away from the
event. Susan Smith and Jeff Alexander will draft proposed
guidelines for participants. The Commission's consensus was that
the potential for unforeseen problems should not keep the City from
trying something new. Any problems which do arise will be taken
into consideration in determining whether the sale should become an
annual event.
-3-
JAN 26 '94 10 :46AM PETERSEN TEWS SQUI
Laura Kuettel reported on her inquiries regarding pickup of
unsold items at curbside after the sale. In short, none of the
charitable organizations she contacted was interested in doing such
a pickup. Those that would do it would charge a substantial fee.
Rather than providing organized pickup, the Commission will compile
and provide to participants information about where they can dispose
of their unsold items.
Susan Smith reported on her conversation with Abby Struck of the
St. Anthony Park Community Council regarding that community's annual
garage sale. SAP has organized a community sale for two years and
is considering two sales this year because the event has been so
successful. Of 2700 households, approximately 50 participated in
last year's sale (which was held in the rain). SAP requires
participants to register and to contribute ten percent of their sale
proceeds (up to a maximum contribution of $50) for publicity costs.
Although the primary purpose of the sale is public service and
community building, SAP also ended up with a $500 profit last year.
SAP advertised its sale in the Bugle and in the garage sale
classified advertising sections of the Star Tribune and the Pioneer
Press. In addition, the Community Council has invested in reusable
painted wooden signs for distribution to participants. SAP also
prepared fliers with a map of the neighborhood on one side and the
addresses of participants on the other. These were distributed at
two locations which were specified in the advertisements for the
sale; one was a business location and the other was in a,tesidential
area, and the fliers were handed out to shoppers at curbside so they
would not have to leave their cars. SAP had no particular problems
with parking, nor did they have reports of nonregistered residents
"poaching" on the community's organized and advertised sale by
holding private sales without registering or contributing proceeds.
After discussion, the Commission tentatively decided that
participants would be asked to register at City Hall and pick up
guidelines for the sale, to be prepared by the Commission, as well
as blue balloons, to be provided by the City, to attach to garage
sale signs. There will be no charge to participate. The Commission
will use the registration list to prepare a map for distribution to
shoppers. Advertising will be placed in the Focus, the Bugle, and
the Review, as well as in the Star Tribune and the Pioneer Press,
but ads in the two daily papers may be limited to the day of the
sale to discourage early shoppers. Balloons and signs will also be
placed at the ends of streets on which residents are participating
in the sale.
USED CAR SEAT COLLECTION: Laura Kuettel will attend a February
meeting on the Ramsey County used car seat collection project. The
goal of the project is to collect used car seats, dispose of those
which are unsafe, and refurbish the others for distribution to low
income families. The Commission may want to consider involvement at
some level, from publicizing the project to organizing a collection
in the community.

Solid Waste Commission Meeting ,9
February 101994
Chair Marty McCleery called the meeting to order at 7:10 PM
COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: Jeff Alexander, Laura Kuettel, Barbara Leary,
Marty McCleery, and John Hustad, Council liaison.
AMENDMENT OF JANUARY 13, 1994 MINUTES: Marty McCleery asked that the
following sentence on page 1 a) "Departing commissioners are presently required to remain on the
Commission until a replacement is appointed." be deleted from the minutes. The members agreed
with his request. Laura Kuettel asked that the following sentence on page 4, first paragraph,
"Those that would do it would charge a substantial fee." be deleted from the minutes. The
members agreed with her request. Barbara Leary added her work phone number to the
Commission phone list included with the minutes (636 -3650)
APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF JANUARY 13, 1994: Laura Kuettel moved and Marty
McCleery seconded the approval of the amended January 13, 1994 minutes.
Agenda Item: (D3) Continuation of work on proposed city wide garage sale and
preparation of recommendation to city Council: Laura Kuettel discussed the proposed
garage sale and Shirley Chenoweth's guidance toward the writing of the Council reco mendation.
The proposal must be completed by February 16 for presentation to the council's next meeting.
Laura listed all of the necessary components of the resolution which included Commission
Guidelines and the rationale for having a city wide garage sale, Roseville police involvement,
advertising estimates and activities.
Laura Kuettel suggested that not more than $125.00 would be needed for advertising the sale. She
also suggested that an article would be published in the City Newsletter. She also said that she
was working with Jerry Rueittiman, Roseville Police Liaison, to involve the Neighborhood Block
Captains in the advertising process. Discussion continued around the distribution of identification
balloons and registration prior to the sale. Involvement of the city hall staff will be minimal. Jeff
Alexander volunteered to do the map after the registration was completed.
Laura Kuettel will continue her inquiries and city business involvement will be discussed at the
next Commission meeting.
Marty McCleery restated the purpose of the garage sale as a effort to continue to support: Reduce,
Recycle, and Reuse.
Laura Kuettel will be attending the child safety seat recall meeting and will report back to the
Commission at the next meeting. She will also talk to the Lions Club about possible involvement
with the garage sale.
Items for the final Guidelines will be firmed up at the next meeting. It was requested that Susan
Smith contact the St. Anthony Park garage sale people about their guidelines.
Jeff Alexander volunteered to draft the resolution for the Council; John Hustad will assist.
Student Representation on the Commission: Barbara Leary reported on her inquiries
about student representation on the Commission. Contacts were made to Falcon Heights
Elementary, the Roseville Area High School Activity Director, and a former elementary Falcon
Heights teacher. An effort to fmd a Falcon Heights high school student who might be interested

was not successful. However, a seventh grade student at the middle school, Catherine Mackiewicz
expressed interest and completed an application form for the position as student representative.
Barbara Leary also shared the recycling work begin done by students at Falcon Heights
Elementary. She asked Commission members to reconsider their January 13 discussion of the age
of the student representative as well as requiring that the representative be a Falcon Heights
Elementary graduate. Curriculum work being done by Ramsey County Solid Waste
representatives was also discussed; Cathi Lyman-Onkka would like to present the K -12 materials
to the Commission at some future meeting. The presentation would include an overview of the
materials as well as working through an exercise -time: 45 minutes. Also, the Future Problem
Solving competitions for the 93 -94 school year include solid waste management problem solving.
The Commission members agreed that Catherine Mackiewicz should be given the opportunity to be
the student representative since she had shown enthusiasm and interest in the position. Marty
McCleery directed Barbara Leary to send Catherine's application to Susan Hoyt for the council's
consideration.
Recycling Contract Update: John Hustad reviewed the EZ Recycling contract approved by
the city Council this past month. Some of the highlights of the contract were: elimination of the
fifth Friday collection (a savings of $1200 will be realized); negotiators were not successful in
adding plastic bags or cereal boxes to the list of recyclables; the contract will be for 3 years with
performance measures included. EZ is working on possibly adding junk mail, aerosol cans, and
textiles in the future. The Commission's recommendation for spot market price reporting by EZ
was not discussed by the Council.
Superfund Notes: Marty McCleery shared a copy of a recent Environment Reporter which
discussed Superfund information relating to municipalities and their subsequent liability relating to
hazardous waste.
The meeting adjourned at 8:45 PM.

PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
MINUTES
FEB. 14, 1994
MEMBERS PRESENT: Jackie Benson, Alan Weinand, Carol Weisberg, Steve Schugel,
Morris Nicholson, Carol Kriegler, Parks Rec Director,
Jan Gibson Talbot, Council Liaison
APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF: January 10, 1994
Nancy Knutsen outlined her ideas for establishing a community or neighbor -based
indoor playground. An indoor playground would consist of a large room with toys,
games and simple play equipment. The site would provide a place for parents to bring
infants, toddlers and pre schoolers to play together and get to know one another.
Members present welcomed the proposal and supported further investigation of the
project. Discussion centered around potential sites for the playground (city hall
council chambers, park buildings, local church, Falcon Heights school, etc.); need for
establishing use policies and a possible parent advisory board; and other potential
areas of concern. Carol Kriegler read a letter from Jyneen Thatcher regarding her
concerns as she was unable to be present at the meeting.
It was suggested that the first and next step is to determine the level of interest and
need within the city for such a playground. Carol Kriegler and Nan Knutsen agreed
to develop a city newsletter article designed to (1) inform residents of the potential of
such a playground; (2) to provide for the opportunity to indicate an interest in using
the playground and (3) to provide for the opportunity to indicate an interest in
participating in the planning and development of a playground.
Morrie Nicholson suggested that this potential project be managed in a similar manner
to past park improvement projects with the establishment of a committee of
interested persons who then report back to the commission with specific
recommendations.
Carol Weisberg recommended that city staff begin to explore possible regulations and
licensing requirements for such a facility.
Carol Kriegler gave a brief report on the city's previous bike safety rodeos held
annually in the spring up until a few years ago. The event consisted of a safety talk
by a safety education officer, film, and a "rodeo" of stations designed to teach bike
safety skills. The commission supported the re- establishment of a bike safety program
of some sort although there was concern about the potential date of May 14. This
might be in conflict with a district -wide girl scouting event. Alan Weinand suggested
that the Minnesota Head Injury Association be contacted as they are a potential
resource for program curriculums and ideas. It was also suggested that the
fairgrounds and university campus be explored as potential sites for the event.
Q The commission considered a RAHS request for use of the courts for use by the high school teams during the following times:
unity Park tennis
Boys Team: Sept. 6 to mid October, 1994
2:15 -4:30 P.M. for practice (until 5:30 P.M. on meet days)
Girls Team: April 1 to June 1, 1994
2:15 -4:30 P.M. for practice (until 5:30 P.M. on meet days)
The request is an effort to find alternative tennis courts for the teams as the
impending construction at the high school will cause the tennis courts to be
unavailable. While discussion indicated a level of sympathy and concern for the high
school teams' predicament, there was also a concern for the potential impact on
tennis court availability for the community. Of particular concern was the impact on
the jr. high /young adult users who don't have access to transportation that would
enable them to travel to another site.
Steve Schugal made the point that a potential long term community -wide benefit
would arise from this arrangement as it would likely result in the refurbishing of the
four tennis courts at Fairview Community Center which are currently in very poor
condition. Those courts would then be available to better serve the community for
future years.
In regard to the rental fee issue, it was agreed that it was important to confirm the
school district's policy /history of fee charging for rental of district owned courts to
neighboring cities as the city's policy is to charge the district's own prevailing rental
rates for comparable facilities.
The commission voted unanimously, with one abstention, to accommodate the RAHS
request. They did so with the contingency being that the district be responsible for
the production and posting of a quality sign to be located at the site as a convenience
to users. The sign shall include:
Hours of school use
Brief explanation indicating that the arrangement is temporary
Listing of alternative courts in area
It was also suggested that staff take measures to inform the community of the
arrangement by way of the city newsletter and local papers.

time be a topic for a seminar to be hosted by our commission.

CITY COUNCIL AND
PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP
DATE: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1994
TIME: 7:45 P.M.
PLACE: CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS
2077 W. LARPENTEUR AVE.
FALCON HEIGHTS, MN 55113
PURPOSE: TO DISCUSS THE PLANNING
COMMISSION'S STATUS ON THE INTERIM
DEVELOPMENT MORATORIUM
NOTES FROM WORKSHOP
MARCH 9, 1994
CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING COMMISSION
Council and Planning Commission members assembled for a workshop to discuss the
commission's recommendations regarding the interim development moratorium.
Hoyt briefly reviewed the purpose of the commission's work over the past twelve
months which was reviewing the city's commercial districts' characteristics, purpose
and relationship to the city's residential neighborhoods. Hoyt also said the
commission studied potential secondary impacts from some uses. Hoyt summarized
the proposed changes relating to the commercial development moratorium and asked
for comments, questions from the council.
One area of recommendation by the commission is the removal of the following uses
from the moratorium:
adult uses
check cashing facilities
pawn shops
personal service establishments including therapeutic massage
precious metal dealers
secondhand goods stores
pool halls and automatic /video games arcades
Baldwin would like to see pool /billiard hall redefined. He feels this type of business
provides a social outlet for some cultures and to deny it in Falcon Heights would not
be a wise decision. It was suggested it could be without game arcades and with
some other conditions. Hoyt indicated perhaps it could be associated with other uses
which we haven't defined but should investigate.
There was further discussion on proposed revisions, zoning code amendments,
licenses, secondary impacts, and high impact secondhand goods stores. Adult uses
were also discussed. It was noted that the proximity of businesses are within 250
feet of homes and some are within 50 feet. Also noted was the fact that other adult
use businesses are within close proximity (5 -8 miles) of Falcon Heights.
The proposed changes will come before the city council on March 23, 1994 for final
approval.
